Corpse collector in Conan

My daughter-in-law had just broken a cabinet of crockery, and she felt guilty, so she prepared dinner with extra effort.

The guests were still praising the young lady for being calm and capable, but in the evening, after a few glasses of wine, the young lady's image was shattered.

She looked at Jiang Xia and sighed exaggeratedly: "You are really lucky. My father-in-law only has a few years to live. Recently, his hands have begun to shake. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a masterpiece like 'Feng Shui Pill' again in the future. Your father-in-law has only a few years to live." A clay pot will definitely appreciate in value very quickly.”

The apprentice heard that something was not right and wanted to persuade her to wake up. However, Kikuemon stopped her and the old man said helplessly: "She is right. I can only produce two or three decent works a year now. It is indeed the same as before." There’s no comparison.”

Toru Amuro was chatting with another apprentice. When he heard Kikuemon say this, he was suddenly startled: "Two or three pieces? But didn't they launch more than ten last year..."

The drunk young lady suddenly approached Toru Amuro and interrupted: "Don't mention the pottery! Tell us more about the cases you have solved. The detectives are the protagonists today."

Toru Amuro glanced at her thoughtfully. After a moment, he dragged Jiang Xia, who was sitting next to him playing with a clay pot, and handed it to the young lady: "He broke it all. Let him tell the story."

Then he turned around and continued talking.

Jiang Xia stared at the young lady who almost touched his face: "..."

The young lady drank happily and didn't mind that there was another person in front of her.

She stretched out her hand to fish Jiang Xia, and laughed loudly: "Tell more! Although you have solved very few cases, I have long been tired of hearing it over and over again, but I am idle anyway, and it will be okay to listen to you again." She said. He touched his face.

Lingmu Yuanzi glanced here accidentally and happened to see the young lady's movements. Her eyes suddenly became fierce, and she turned around and wanted to pounce on her, but Mao Lilan hugged her from behind.

Mao Lilan whispered: "Calm down. Auntie should just express her closeness and not take advantage of her!"

On the other side, Jiang Xia looked at the young lady speechlessly. With this amount of alcohol, he actually dares to drink...

But at the same time, he also knew that the young lady was actually not too drunk. She suddenly interrupted Amuro Tohru's question just now because she did it deliberately - she didn't want to mention the number of pottery.

In recent years, Kikuemon has only had a few works, but the number of "Kikuemon's masterpieces" sold is much higher than this number. This is actually because the young lady colluded with a certain apprentice and sold the apprentice's works disguised as Kikuemon's works.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia glanced at the apprentice not far away who was full of murderous intent. He remembered that this man was also the son-in-law of the grandfather named Mino Muneyuki in the pottery classroom.

Judging from the flag-filled appearance of the young lady, she was probably the target of the apprentice's killing.

The relationship between this family is really messy, but it is exactly like this that can breed more ghosts.

Jiang Xia took a sip of juice with emotion.

The party lasted until late at night, and the young lady was sent back to the room early because she became drunk too quickly.

Others continued to eat and drink, and when they got sleepy, they took advantage of the situation to sleep in the restaurant. It was covered with tatami mats and there were many blankets, so you could sleep on the spot, making the environment comfortable.

…

The next morning, Jiang Xia woke up in chaos.

He inquired politely and learned that the young lady was dead - she "hanged herself" in the warehouse this morning and was still warm when she left.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko leaned together, with complicated expressions, but their reactions were much smaller than before. They were actually somewhat accustomed to frequent murders. And this time, the young lady walked away more peacefully, at least leaving behind a whole body.

When Jiang Xia arrived at the warehouse, the police had already arrived.

This time, it was finally no longer an old acquaintance from the Police Department, but a strange male police officer with hair that looked like coral and a square face.

After Henggou Police Department saw Jiang Xia, his expression changed slightly and he was ready to get close to him, but in the end, he retained his dignity as a police officer and stopped where he was.

——In this world, the popularity of detectives is generally high. Privately, the Henggou Police Department is actually chasing famous detectives like a star.

But the island country is more particular about seniority. Faced with a strange detective who is much younger than him, the Henggou Police Department is still a bit arrogant and embarrassed to go directly to ask for an autograph.

Jiang Xia didn't know why the policeman kept staring at him. He looked at the coral head of the Henggou Police Department, and soon lost interest in this strange hairstyle, and turned to look at the crime scene.

Before Jiang Xia arrived, others had already arrived, and detectives conducted a brief search of the scene.

Toru Amuro saw him entering the door, walked over and whispered: "It's a bit strange - her cervical vertebrae are broken."

People who hang themselves usually die from cerebral hypoxia, and a small number of them die from broken cervical vertebrae. However, judging from the young lady's body shape and the position of hanging, her cervical vertebra was broken unnaturally.

Jiang Xia was now very proficient in "reasoning". He nodded and said in a normal voice: "Maybe the young lady did not hang herself by stepping on the pottery pot, but first had a rope around her neck, and then fell from the top of the cabinet next to her. down.

"If it's suicide, there's no need to make it so fancy, so it might be a murder - for example, someone moved her to lie on top of the cabinet while she was drunk, and then put a rope around her neck to hang herself. When the young lady woke up this morning, she turned over and accidentally fell from the top of the cabinet, breaking her cervical vertebrae.

"In this case, the murderer is probably Mr. Minosufo. When he turned around just now, I saw a lipstick mark on the back of the clothes he was wearing. And last night at the dinner party, the young lady was sitting next to me. Mei Mr. Nong was opposite me, and then the young lady was sent back to the room by Mr. Otani. There should be no contact between the two people. Therefore, the lipstick mark should have been made in a more concealed situation - such as in the middle of the night, Mei When Mr. Nong carried the drunk young lady onto the top of the cabinet.

"Ah, look, there is a protruding iron nail on the top of the cabinet, and there is a cut on the young lady's calf. Maybe she was scratched by the nail when she fell."

The Henggou Police Department had been listening to Jiang Xia's reasoning with open ears. At this time, he reacted quickly and ran to the nail to look at it. Then he said excitedly: "There is really a little skin here!"

Toru Amuro: "..."

Conan also discovered something suspicious and sneaked over to discuss with Jiang Xia: "..."

other people:"……"

...This reasoning speed is unscientific!

One of the apprentices looked at Jiang Xia blankly: "Did you get up in the middle of the night and see the murder..."

"He didn't!" Suzuki Sonoko interrupted, "Yesterday I was afraid that the young lady would come to find him in the middle of the night, so I kept holding his arm. If Jiang Xia went out in the middle of the night, I would definitely find out!"

Disciple: "..." What image does the young lady have in your eyes?

Although Suzuki Sonoko's testimony sounds very unreliable, in fact, even if there is not a single witness, everyone else feels that Jiang Xia will not save the young lady in order to solve the case - after all, this is a woman who looks full of justice. A sexy high school detective.

Only Toru Amuro doesn't quite believe Jiang Xia's conscience in this regard.

However, Tohru Amuro actually didn't sleep much last night - in his concept, there might be a "dangerous person trying to eavesdrop on the organization's secrets" hiding nearby.

Therefore, Toru Amuro is the most certain that Jiang Xia has not followed Minosuo out - it can be seen that the reasoning Jiang Xia just mentioned is not a simple retelling of what he saw as his apprentice said. It is really Jiang Xia's Reasoning made one minute after entering the warehouse.

In the past, Amuro Toru had no real sense of reality after reading the reports about Jiang Xia's case. After all, the murderer was written in bold letters in the title, so there was no suspense in reading it.

But now, he and Jiang Xia have the same information, and they even arrived at the scene earlier than Jiang Xia. However, when he just judged that "it doesn't look like suicide," Jiang Xia had already pushed the murderer out...

For the first time, Toru Amuro truly understood the talent of this apprentice.

...It was a wise decision to let Jiang Xia work part-time here before.

And such a talent was almost shot to death by the organization as cannon fodder...

There was another account added to the thick grudge book in Toru Amuro's heart.
