Conan’s Corpse Picker

With Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko present, ambulances and police cars always arrive faster than before.

The Mumu Police Department arrived quickly with people.

When he arrived in the yard, he looked seriously at the open space and first saw Conan who was quickly searching for clues at the scene.

The eyes of the Memu Police Department twitched, trying to drive this overly bold child away from the scene.

But before he spoke, someone approached from behind. The Mumu police department turned around and saw Jiang Xia.

"..." I haven't seen this efficient detective for a long time, and the Mumu Police Department actually missed him for a while. In the past few days, whether it was because Jiang Xia was on a business trip, he always felt that there were fewer murders in Mihua Town than usual. But less doesn't mean zero - with the comparison, the Mumu Police Department realized more clearly how easily Jiang Xia solved crimes.

"How's it going, brother Jiang Xia?" Police Inspector Mu Mu quickly approached, pricking up his ears to hear the spoilers. He lowered his voice and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"..." Jiang Xia also lowered her voice to remind him, "I just left for a while and now I have just come back. I have to look for possible clues."

"...That's right." Police Department Memu nodded.

So he ran to the body again and urged the inspector: "Try to hurry up."

There were not enough manpower today, so Miwako Sato took people to deal with another murder case.

If he ends here early, maybe he can recommend Jiang Xia to go there for a walk... Good detectives, let's all hang out together.

…

The autopsy soon gave preliminary results. Minagawa Katsuhiko died of pesticide poisoning.

The police also conducted tests on the physical evidence next to the body.

The first thing to come out was the piece of chocolate that had fallen next to the body and had been bitten twice - it was laced with pesticides. That was given by Haomi Watanabe.

"Why did you kill him?!" Sekiya Xiang overheard the conclusion and looked at Watanabe Kaomi angrily, "Today is Valentine's Day. If the person you like gives him chocolate, he will definitely eat it - you rely on him to like you, give it He poisoned you? What on earth can he do to you?"

Watanabe Haomei was very innocent and sobbed: "I, I didn't..."

The man with glasses was startled for a moment, his expression a little strange.

At this time, another policeman also ran over holding the evidence bag:

"Police department, the smoke is poisonous!"

Guan Guxiang looked over again in confusion.

She likes the dead and is particularly concerned about this murder. Hear this new clue. Sekiya Xiang quickly remembered the key point.

She left Watanabe Haomei and glared at the man in glasses: "He finished smoking his own cigarettes, and when he went out, he took the cigarette you handed him!"

The man with glasses sighed, as if the stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

He straightened his back and admitted directly: "Yes, it was me who poisoned me - I have hated him for a long time. He has always treated me as a fool and wasted your precious thoughts. Humph, he always forgot before He brought a cigarette with him, so I poisoned the filter. Unexpectedly, today, he just asked me for a cigarette..."

"..." Jiang Xia watched for a while, before the Mu Mu Police Department walked up to the man with glasses and said, "Please come with us," he said, "Only the filter of that cigarette is poisonous?"

The surveyor and the man with glasses were startled, then subconsciously nodded at the same time.

"Then don't rush to take the blame first."

Jiang Xia pointed at the evidence bag and pulled back the erroneous path to the truth: "Cigarette butts and cigarette bodies are separate - Mr. Minagawa's own box of cigarettes seems to be a brand without a filter, so even though he took it, it was taken by you It was a poisoned cigarette, but before smoking it, he habitually removed the filter. The part he smoked was not poisonous."

As he talked, Jiang Xia felt like he was playing a simplified version of scripted murder: most of the suspects had issues with Minagawa Katsuhiko, and they also carried out random murder practices... But in this incident, there was only one murderer. .

The Mu Mu Police Department perked up when they heard Jiang Xia speak: "Do you know who the murderer is?"

Conan also looked over, and at the same time he was ruling out everything in his mind.

In fact, according to his experience, "people who are always present but suddenly leave at the time of the crime and seem to have an alibi" are the most suspicious... Yes, such as Jiang Xia, who suddenly slipped away at an unknown time.

However, this thought only briefly crossed his mind and was quickly dismissed by Conan.

——Jiang Xia is not a perverted murderer who kills people for fun. He has no relationship with Minagawa Katsuhiko, he doesn't even know him at all, and he has no motive.

And this time the deceased was poisoned. Jiang Xia has never touched other people's food. He eats everything he handles by himself. The only exception is the cup of tea that Jiang Xia brought after Conan was kissed by the muscle brother just now. Conan felt it carefully and felt that he was very healthy at this time and did not feel like he had drunk pesticides.

...In short, there is someone else who is the murderer.

"..." Conan thought and hit his head in retrospect: Even if Jiang Xia was present, he should not solve the case in a hurry, but always want to follow routines and intuitive analysis, trying to rely on "a flash of inspiration" flash".

We should still judge based on evidence and logic in a down-to-earth manner. Although Jiang Xia probably solved the case when he was thinking about logic, the detective's integrity cannot be lost... Conan nodded secretly in his heart, encouraging himself.

The Mumu Police Department did not notice that there was a child with complicated mood next to him, and they were waiting intently for Jiang Xia's conclusion.

Jiang Xia shook his head: "I came a little late and didn't quite understand the situation at that time."

The police who listened carefully were a little disappointed.

But soon, they heard Jiang Xia say: "But my intuition tells me that at this time, people who behave abnormally often have problems. If you ask them about it, you may get unexpected results, such as -"

Jiang Xia suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the kitchen: "My son just passed away, the police are still walking around in the hall, but Mrs. Minagawa is actually busy washing cups."

"..."

A group of people followed his direction and turned their heads in slow motion.

The originally gentle trickling sound seemed to suddenly amplify after being noticed - at the end of their line of sight, Mrs. Minagawa, dressed in a kimono with her sleeves rolled up, was standing in front of the kitchen sink, with her back to them, rinsing as if nothing had happened. with teacups and dishes.

Suddenly being stared at, her movements froze, and her hand holding the coffee cup tightened in embarrassment.

After a while, Mrs. Minagawa gritted her teeth and suddenly sped up, trying to finish washing the remaining coffee cups before the police recovered.

The sound of water suddenly changing speed finally woke up the police who had been at ease for too long and had lost their ability to observe.

The veins on the forehead of Police Department Mumu jumped, and he waved his hand: "Stop her!"

Conan: "..."

He actually saw Mrs. Minagawa's behavior, but his first reaction was to think about this abnormality... huh? Wait, Jiang Xia also uses intuition to solve crimes?
