Conan’s Corpse Picker

The construction space where several children were located happened to be next door to Miguanyi's family.

Although Conan is physically a child, he is already in high school mentally. He always feels uncomfortable sneaking into someone else's construction site to play baseball with a few real kids.

While Conan was playing with the child, he looked around with a sense of guilt.

At this time, in his peripheral vision, he suddenly caught a glimmer of light - the reflection was of course not from Subaru Okiya's glasses, but from a more distant place.

Looking carefully, the bright spot comes from the construction site next door.

The top floor of a magnificent villa.

Conan put his hand on the awning and looked over, and found an elderly man with gray hair standing behind the window. The man was tall and tall, holding an old-fashioned telescope in front of his eyes. The reflection just now was caused by the telescope. Although I couldn't see clearly the face behind the telescope, I always felt that the man's expression was very unfriendly, even a little sinister.

"..." Conan silently got goosebumps.

Just watch them playing baseball, so why stare at them through binoculars?

...It's kind of scary.

Is it because they are too noisy? It is indeed easy to amplify sound in a place like this, and when children get excited, the sound is particularly penetrating.

After thinking about it, Conan suddenly realized something and looked at Subaru Okiya.

——These "children" are fine, but if this graduate student is arrested, even if he is detained for only a few days, it may affect his ability to complete that seemingly daunting thesis.

Conan was about to remind this somewhat eccentric adult.

But before he could speak, Moto Kojima screamed and swung the ball hard. The baseball drew a beautiful parabola, accurately passed over everyone's heads, crossed two fences, and fell into the yard of the next door house.

——It was the family who was staring at them with telescopes and observing quietly.

Conan: "..."

Okiya Subaru: "..." Wonderful, what a blessing.

…

the other side.

After the taxi left, Jiang Xia and Masao Koda walked to the gate of Watanuki Yiichi's yard.

Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, he suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps - many people were approaching.

Jiang Xia paused, turned around and saw several familiar children and a familiar adult.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He actually abducted the Young Detective Team, Subaru Okiya is very smart...

He pressed the doorbell, looked away from the Young Detective Team, and looked at Subaru Okiya, with a slightly confused look on his face, as if he didn't know why this strange man was hanging out with the children he knew.

at the same time.

The three naughty kids recognized Jiang Xia slowly.

Immediately, I instinctively started self-examination and reviewed my experience today.

——Playing baseball on other people's construction sites, hitting the ball into other people's private homes... In addition, going back in time, their baseball hit the head of an innocent passerby, and the passerby victim was present... …

Thinking of Jiang Xia's consistent attitude towards "bad guys". The three children suddenly stopped running towards the gate of Mianguanyi No. 1 Courtyard, and they did not dare to approach.

Jiang Xia spoke in a friendly manner, seeming to be very concerned about the children's condition: "Why are you in such a panic? What happened?"

Haibara Ai tried to ease the relationship between Jiang Xia and the children, and moved a step to the side, trying to let out Yoshida Ayumi who was hiding behind her.

As a result, as soon as she moved, Yoshida Ayumi immediately moved in sync with her, like a shadow clinging tightly to her back, which completely failed to achieve the expected effect.

Haibara Ai:"……"

She sighed, looked at Jiang Xia, and had no choice but to do it by herself: "When we were playing baseball nearby, the ball accidentally flew into this house's yard, so I wanted to ask the owner if he could let us go in to find the ball. …”

"Oh, it's strange that Watukiyoshi agreed for a while." Next to him, Koda Masao couldn't help but sneer, "There is a corpse buried in his yard. If you let you in and you dig it out, he will have to A few more new bodies to be buried.”

When Okiya Subaru heard this, he interrupted in surprise: "Corpse?"

...pretending to be an ordinary passerby who was shocked by Koda Masao's words.

The day before yesterday, after Uzo showed him the corpse, he told him all the ins and outs of the case.

So although Subaru Okiya didn't see the photo, he quickly judged that the man in front of him who was full of resentment and extremely hostile to Yiichi Watanuki was probably the brother of the corpse, Koda Masao.

After Subaru Okiya expressed his surprise like a normal person, he touched his chin and began to think about how he could quietly give a hint so that Koda Masao and the others could find the body as soon as possible.

But then I thought about it, "being late for the mission" and "being caught doing something suspicious" were probably the same crimes for Uzo.

If the reminder is too abrupt...

In the end, Subaru Okiya didn't dare to speak - there were still a few days before the deadline of the mission, but he was not in a hurry to have to expose himself. And now, as a passerby, he had just heard the word "corpse". In theory, he shouldn't know too much.

...It’s better to wait for a while, and then let the prompts come naturally when you find a suitable entry point.

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but cast his eyes on Jiang Xia again, feeling that he was so lucky.

——He recognized the famous high school detective.

The presence of a detective means that not only can the body be found quickly, but also the subsequent discovery of the relationship between the body and Giichi Watanuki can be handled by the detective.

In this way, Okiya Subaru thought that if he wanted to hang out under Uzo's banner for a long time in the future, it would be necessary to get to know a few more powerful detectives - just lead them there when needed.

...No, wait.

Why did you suddenly start planning your career development?

At this time, shouldn't we pray that Mr. Akai will act faster and let himself fly away as soon as possible...

After suddenly realizing this, Okiya Subaru fell into deep thought for a moment, and even suspected that Usa had secretly made some terrifying hints without him knowing.

"..." After this mission is over and Uzo temporarily diverts his attention from himself, he should quickly find a psychiatrist. It just so happens that the instructor seems to know a few psychology professors...

…

Next to them, Conan and Haihara Ai were also startled when they heard the word "corpse".

Masao Koda did not notice the movements of the two children, but looked at Subaru Okiya - he heard Subaru Okiya's question about "corpse".

Since not many people believed in Masao Koda, and Subaru Okiya looked like a scholar and looked very smart, Masao Koda couldn't help but chat with Subaru Okiya like a missionary who discovered a high-quality talent. The details of the "buried body" that I guessed.
