Conan’s Corpse Picker

"?" Mouri Kogoro stretched his neck in confusion and looked under the seat.

It was pitch black below and he could see nothing. In the end, I had to attribute it to myself accidentally touching the chair cover.

But looking at it this way, it’s not all without gain.

——The pen he was looking for was lying under the seat, in a very easy to reach position.

Mouri Kogoro successfully picked up the pen and put it into his pocket.

…

Maybe he just slept in the car and woke up a little from the wine.

Mouri Kogoro looked at Sayuri Shimamura who was driving and felt something was not right.

He said honestly: "You are dressed so formally today." It turned out to be a suit, which is not what women like to wear when going out for a ride.

Sayuri Shimamura sweated on her palms and said with a smile: "Actually, I planned to work overtime tonight. But my roommate caught a cold and looked a little serious. I was worried, so I came back to see her... Those jobs don't count. If it's urgent, go for a drive with friends and relax before doing it, it will be more efficient. And since it is a leisure sport, I am too lazy to change clothes deliberately - driving in formal clothes is not fun. "

...This is a lie.

Sayuri Shimamura lied and glanced at the watch in the car.

——The time it showed was past eight o'clock.

But now, it was actually past nine o'clock, and she had just secretly set her watch back by an hour.

Sayuri Shimamura: "..." Although I don't know why Kogoro Mouri thinks it's just eight o'clock, it's normal for a drunk to not be able to tell the time. This is simply an alibi delivered to the door... It must be that bastard who deserves death .

——Sayuri Shimamura’s roommate is home with a cold, it’s true.

But when she came back from the company midway, it was not to take care of her roommate.

Instead, he had just faked a home invasion and killed his roommate and sent his roommate away silently.

Originally, Sayuri Shimamura placed a camera at the window of her office, intending to record the situation on the street outside when the murder occurred. If the police asked her later, she would say that she was working overtime and recount the situation at that time as an alibi. .

Unexpectedly, a person who saw her near the murder scene suddenly appeared after she committed the murder, but could not figure out the time.

...must be put to good use.

As long as she can handle it well, she will be "driving with Kogoro Mori" when the murder occurs, and have a more solid alibi.

But on the other hand, if Kogoro Mouri wakes up and realizes something is wrong, this will also expose her biggest suspicion...

By the time……

When Sayuri Shimamura thought of this, a few large scarlet characters suddenly flashed in her mind.

——Kill and silence.

…

Shibahama-cho, in the building where the rooftop restaurant is located.

After a while, the remaining band members arrived.

The Memu Police Department asked them to sit down and looked at the number of people. They felt that there seemed to be a little too many suspects today.

He subconsciously turned around and glanced at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia was seen leaning against the wall, looking like she was deep in thought.

Mumu Police Department looked away with relief and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It's okay, let alone four people, even if there are four hundred people, Brother Jiang Xia will definitely be able to find the real culprit.

Thinking of this, the Megure Police Department looked at the suspects again, straightened their backs, and cleared their throats: "From the end of the performance at the rooftop restaurant to the discovery of Miss Yukiko's body, where were you all? Also, when was the last time you saw her?"

——When Nakamura Yusuke and Mao Lilan found the body, the door of the lounge was locked.

This door can only be opened and closed with a key. In other words, the murderer should be the last person to return the key before they come.

The other three band members who were called back midway looked at each other, as if they had thought of something, and grimly refused to speak.

Nakamura Yusuke is the most cooperative.

He said under the pleased gaze of the Memu Police Department: "After the concert ended and I left the rooftop restaurant, I haven't seen the other members of the band again. I have been sorting out the instruments with the staff at the rooftop restaurant. I packed about two dozen ten minutes.

"I originally wanted to go home after that, but after thinking about it, I still really want Mr. Jiang Xia's autograph..."

Speaking of this, Nakamura Yusuke glanced at Jiang Xia with admiring eyes, and received a glance at his calf. He was startled, thinking that Jiang Xia might have not been praised by fans in person and was a little shy, so he lowered his gaze.

Nakamura Yusuke didn't pay attention. Anyway, Jiang Xia was just a tool to escape guilt. He continued: "So I took the liberty to go to the roof again. I didn't expect that Mr. Jiang Xia was really still there. After successfully getting his signature, because of Xiao Miss Lan wanted my autograph, so we came to the lounge together and planned to pick up a poster. What happened next..."

When he said this, his expression turned sad: "You have all seen what happened next."

"Yeah, that's it, I understand."

The Megure Police Department carefully wrote down the key points, mentally ruling out Yusuke Nakamura.

——According to the guard responsible for keeping the keys, from the time the band finished singing until the discovery of the body, Nakamura Yusuke never borrowed the key once and had no chance to enter the lounge.

When he entered, there was already a body in the lounge, as well as Mao Lilan as a witness. All in all, he doesn't have much of a problem.

So the police officer's inquiring eyes quickly turned to the other three people in the band.

Among the three, one has red hair, one has yellow hair, and there is also a short-haired woman wearing a chest-length and off-shoulder dress. Although this is called a trend, for Memu Police Department, a middle-aged man who can't keep up with the times, it can be summed up in one sentence - he doesn't look like a good person.

A group of people stared at each other for a moment.

In the end, it was the short-haired woman who spoke first—her name was Risako Tanaka, and she was the keyboardist of the band.

"After the concert, I went to the elevator with Shota, Yukiko and Cheng, intending to go down to the lounge. But when the elevator came, Yukiko asked us to go first, and she ran towards the stairs. ”

The "Shouta" and "Acheng" mentioned by Risako Tanaka are the yellow and red hair next to her respectively.

Yukiko is the deceased lying next door.

"That was the last time I saw Yukiko. After the three of us went down to the lounge together, about five minutes later, I went back with Shota..." After hesitating for a moment, Tanaka Risako remembered something. , snorted coldly, and added, "But we were only 'together' until we left the building. After that, Shota said he had something to do and separated from me. During this time, the key to the lounge was always in Cheng's hand - definitely One of them killed Yukiko!"

She decisively put the blame on the red-haired Nishimoto Makoto and the yellow-haired Shota Aoki.
