Conan’s Corpse Picker

As Jiang Xia clicked the door shut.

In the corridor outside the door, the three people fell into silence for a short time.

"...I don't think it's him."

Haihara Ai lowered his voice, spoke half in a rant and half in a conjecture, and said quietly: "Officer Sato said that the deceased was stabbed to death with a sharp instrument. And the man just now... I don't think there is any need for him to carry a knife."

Conan thought of Mao Lilan an hour ago, and the innocent iron rod that she had knocked straight and bent.

He raised his hand pretending to be calm and pushed up his glasses in shock. It took two seconds before he really came back to his senses.

Thinking of what Haihara Ai had just said, he added belatedly: "Not necessarily. If he is really the murderer, it cannot be ruled out that he deliberately brought a knife to cover up his crime characteristics."

Jiang Xia listened to their discussion silently without interrupting.

When "Dog Leg" punched the ground just now, a bit of murderous aura actually emerged.

But very quickly, maybe it was because Yoshikawa Gozo immediately became a Buddha as soon as he picked up the butcher knife, or maybe he remembered that Lao Yang was dead... In short, the murderous aura that suddenly appeared quickly fell away, Then he was happily picked up by the cat and dragged away with a grunt - this new cat, although he had not officially signed a contract, already looked like a very good working ghost.

"Write down the doubts first and tell Officer Sato later."

After the two children finished their discussion, Jiang Xia made a summary for them, while moving his fingers slightly, he caught the murderous aura that the "dog leg" had just dropped.

Then he walked to the next door in a good mood: "Let's look at the next one."

…

Unfortunately, the remaining two people didn't look that grumpy.

Behind the second door is Shima Rokusuke, who plays the "young master".

The "young master" in the book has a strong sense of justice and is impulsive and stubborn.

But after the drama, Shima Rokusuke seemed to be just an ordinary young man.

"My mother passed away last year." "Young Master" sighed. "Before she left, she kept complaining that I was impatient and couldn't do anything for a long time. So I wanted to do this job well and let her see my ability. ... However, Lao Yang was very dissatisfied with me and would always say things like, 'If you don't do well, leave', and he even started looking for a new 'young master' candidate."

“When I think about how rare it is for me to persist in a job, only to be fired by someone else, I get very angry.

"But I am a person..."

Shima Rokusuke was originally sitting, but suddenly he lay down on his back. In order to fit the theme, this private room was of course a traditional private room covered with tatami mats.

The young master spread out on the tatami in a "big" shape, looked at the ceiling and continued to sigh: "Angry is just anger. I really never thought about killing him. Although I have no alibi, I am not the murderer. You must solve the case seriously. , don’t accuse good people wrongly.”

…

After jotting down some seemingly useless points, the three of them returned to the corridor and came to the sliding door of the last box.

Inside is a "porcupine" with a rough beard and dressed like a slutty warrior.

——In the book "Young Master", the straightforward porcupine finally becomes the protagonist's partner and helps the protagonist punish the two villains.

Before Conan entered the door, he thought of the "dog leg" who looked weak but could actually punch through solid ground with one punch. Think again about the burly body of the "Porcupine"...

He couldn't help but adjust the anesthesia watch on his hand to make it more convenient for launching.

Haiyuan Ai glanced at him, obviously inspired, so he also took a look at himself.

Then she discovered that the only weapons she could use as weapons were the two tubes of anesthetic in her pocket.

"..." Unfortunately, these are not launchers. If you want to use them, you can only get closer and stab them. For someone with her strength and size, it might not be possible to stab anyone...

Hui Yuarai thought rationally for a moment, and finally did not take out the anesthetic, but silently shrank behind Jiang Xia.

In the sight of two people facing a formidable enemy.

Jiang Xia reached out and pushed the door open.

Behind the slowly opened door, the stout old man sat in the room with his knees together, holding a round embroidery bag the size of a mirror in one hand, holding a needle in the other hand, and was doing embroidery seriously.

"..." Hui Yuan Ai stuck out half of his head and observed it carefully.

After discovering that those beautiful patterns were actually embroidered by "Porcupine" herself, instead of just showing off, she cautiously walked out from behind Jiang Xia.

A man who loves embroidery shouldn't have such a bad temper...

…

"I'm celebrating the holidays with Laoyang..." "Porcupine" looked a little sad when he heard their questions.

He stopped the needle in his hand: "Actually, it's nothing special. It's just that my mother always told me that as long as a person's wish is strong enough, it will come true sooner or later.

"So after I came here, I prayed devoutly in my heart every day - I hope Laoyang won't let me play 'Porcupine' again."

At this point, under the gazes of the three people across from him as if they were seeing ghosts, a drop of fierce man's tears slipped silently and disappeared into the wild beard of "Porcupine".

Perhaps because he mentioned something sad, "Porcupine"'s tears quickly welled up and soon formed a river on his muscular face. He wiped away his tears aggrievedly: "...I, I just want to play Madonna! I have carefully thought about the role, and I will definitely be able to play it well, but no matter what I say, Lao Yang ignores me, and Madonna has always been played by Yuanshan. ...How on earth am I inferior to her!"

"..."

Silence fell in the room.

After a moment, Jiang Xia slowly bent down and picked up the two petrified children.

Then the light speed retreats outside the door:

"Excuse me, take my leave."

He slammed the sliding door shut.

…

It seems to be because there are no onlookers. A second later, the crying in the box suddenly became bold, from whimpering in grievance to crying in sadness.

The cries that penetrated the door made the walls seem to tremble, and also made the three people outside the door tremble.

They didn't dare to stay longer and left quickly.

Conan followed Jiang Xia and fled the scene while arranging the watch on his hand in a slightly embarrassed manner: It was a mistake. He only guarded against physical attacks. Unexpectedly, the people in this room were mental... Speaking of which, this family What is going on in the store? Why does everyone feel so weird?

Hui Yuan Ai could barely remember the business.

She turned around with lingering fear and looked at the three gates gradually receding behind her, as if she saw the gate to hell, or something that needed to be firmly suppressed.

After a moment, she came back to her senses, silently covered her face, and then said seriously: "...Except for the 'young master', I always feel that the other two people are not mentally stable."...In other words, they may offend innocent cats. .
