Corpse collector in Conan

The administrator quickly shook his head: "Of course not. Our apartment attaches great importance to safety, and the rooftop door is usually locked. If the residents here want to go up, they must be accompanied by us."

After thinking for a moment, he whispered: "Speaking of falling from the building, I remember that the place where Mr. Yoshida rented happened to be the edge room on the fifth floor, next to the alley - he must have fallen from his own He fell into the room. Calculating the position, looking down from his balcony, it happened to be where the body was lying sideways just now."

After Dr. Yoshimura fell to his death just now, a large number of passers-by gathered around him. The apartment manager was also alerted and ran out to observe the situation. Then he was picked up by the police to ask for clues.

"So that's it." The Megure Police Department quickly determined the next step of the investigation. "Then let's go to his room and have a look."

…

A group of people entered the elevator and pressed the button to go to the fifth floor.

In the elevator, the Mumu Police Department was racing against time to find the apartment manager and inquire about the tenants.

Just as he was talking, when he reached the second floor, the elevator suddenly stopped and the door opened with a bang.

Several people stopped talking and looked outside, but there was no one outside the elevator door.

A group of police officers didn't think much about it. They just thought that the people waiting for the elevator were impatient. After pressing the button, they turned around and went elsewhere.

The door quickly closed and the elevator continued to rise.

Unexpectedly, when they reached the third floor, the elevator stopped again, the door opened with a bang, but there was still no one outside.

The door closed again and the elevator continued upward.

Mouri Kogoro frowned and couldn't help but muttered: "Why does it sound like a ghost?"

Jiang Xia silently glanced at the closed door. Just now, the mermaid was floating slowly, and her tail was caught by the door. Now she is pulling out with force - although ghosts can travel through solid bodies, their speed through solid bodies is much slower than floating in the air.

However, the haunting that Kogoro Mouri refers to is probably not the kind of haunting.

The manager was already used to riding in this elevator. When he heard Kogoro Mouri say this, he remembered that the elevators in many apartments were different from the one in his home.

"For safety reasons, our elevators are designed to stop at each floor," he explained.

"So that's it." Mouri Kogoro scratched the back of his head, "The starting point is good, but if the person taking the elevator is in a hurry, it will be too torturous."

Although the shortcomings of the apartment were pointed out by outsiders, the manager seemed to have seized some kind of opportunity and quietly pushed the blame again: "You are right, Mr. Yoshimura may have thought so too, so he found a way by himself - I saw it before Pass him up and down the escape stairs of the building next door."

Several policemen were startled: "The building next door? What do you mean?"

Administrator: "His room is on the 5th floor, and the height of the 5th floor of our apartment is exactly the same as the roof of the building next door. The balcony of Mr. Yoshimura's room protrudes a little further, and the distance between the two sides is not too wide. For an adult male For example, he can easily jump from his balcony to the roof of the building next door.

"Not long ago, I saw him jumping back and forth there. He seemed to like that road very much and wanted to walk a few more times to get used to it. I went to persuade him at that time, but he said that he just found it novel and would not jump again in the future. . But now it seems..."

The administrator thought of the corpse in the alley, sighed, and shook his head.

…

While talking, the slow elevator finally moved to the fifth floor.

Jiang Xia stepped off the elevator, and the police and others also came down.

The client, Dr. Kanda, came last.

He looked at the policeman without getting out of the elevator: "Well, can I go upstairs and change my clothes first? I live here too. The room is on the sixth floor. It won't take too long."

When he discovered that the deceased had fallen from the building just now, Dr. Kanda ran over to check on his condition and was covered in blood.

The Memu Police Department turned around and saw the bloody clothes on his body. They felt that with his appearance, even if they acted together with the police, they would only destroy the scene of the fall.

And think about it carefully: Dr. Kanda was staying with Jiang Xia when the deceased fell. He couldn't have pushed the deceased down from the air, haha.

…In short, it doesn’t seem to be a big problem.

So Megure Police Department nodded: "Of course. After changing clothes, remember to come to Mr. Yoshimura's room. We have other things to ask you."

Dr. Kanda responded and pressed the elevator door button.

The elevator door quickly closed and he walked up while the others went all the way to the end of the corridor.

…

At the end of the corridor is room 501. After the apartment manager opened the door, he could see a simply decorated one-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​only about thirty square meters.

Passing through the entrance hall, you quickly entered the bedroom and living room - there is only one room here.

Dr. Yoshimura seems to be staying here only temporarily. There are very few things in the room: a bed, a small standing cabinet, a coffee table and two soft chairs next to it.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony were open, and the curtains were fluttering in the wind.

Jiang Xia walked to the balcony and took a look outside.

The Memu Police Department was also checking here, nodding as he looked: "Sure enough, standing on the balcony, the roof of the building opposite is right in front of you, and right next to it is the stairway to the opposite building. It's easier to walk from here than to the elevator. Get a lot faster."

He remembered what the apartment manager said just now: "This is where people probably fell."

Conan stood on tiptoe and tried to look outside, and suddenly found a dark shadow on the roof of the building opposite the balcony.

"It's a slipper." Jiang Xia noticed the direction of his gaze and whispered, "Didn't you just say that the deceased only had one slipper on his feet? It seems that the other one fell on the opposite floor."

Conan was startled and looked back at the distance from the slipper on the roof to the balcony. He felt something was wrong: "The person obviously fell into the alley. How could the slipper be thrown so far."

Mouri Kogoro also came to the balcony and took a look. Maybe he thought it was too windy here, so he quickly retreated back.

When he turned around and saw the small coffee table, as well as the wine and ice buckets placed on it, he couldn't help but feel greedy and smacked his lips: "This guy still has time to drink after being threatened. It's very leisurely."

"Maybe he's drinking to drown his sorrows." Jiang Xia said casually, turning to look at the small coffee table.

When he saw the wine on it, he was slightly startled: it turned out to be a bottle of bourbon.

Jiang Xia: "..." The boss was actually put on the table, it was fate.

If this scene was seen by Vodka, he would probably have to make up a bunch of messy things in his mind again, and maybe even target "Bourbon" with a wisp of ice cream-flavored murderous intent. Tsk, what a pity I didn’t take him with me.

Just as he was thinking about it, next to him, a certain detective who wanted to get off work more than the police had already started his reasoning.

Mouri Kogoro touched his chin: "The deceased's room key was in his pocket. When we came in just now, the door was locked. There were no signs of fighting in the room, so..."
