Corpse collector in Conan

The first two orders took time, but the last request to investigate the identity of the deceased progressed surprisingly quickly.

A female reporter squeezed her way to the front row, trying to take pictures of the scene. But before pressing the shutter, she saw the person lying on the ground clearly and couldn't help but scream: "Kaga Claw?!"

She was surprised when she suddenly saw the body of an acquaintance, and suddenly found that after she finished speaking, several people turned their heads and looked at her.

The female reporter faced the sharp gazes of the police and detectives: "..."

…

"Kaga Tashihiro is my colleague. He is quite famous in our industry and has dug up many scandals about big figures, but... alas, he has been criticized a lot because of the incident a year ago. Gradually he became less active, and his temper gradually grew."

The female reporter sighed.

Jiang Xia quickly extracted the key words: "That incident a year ago?"

"That's it..." The female reporter was very cooperative. After all, this meant that she could get first-hand information about the case, and things related to acquaintances always attracted people's attention.

She took out her phone and searched, and quickly found a report about her company, opened it, and showed it to Jiang Xia: "This is it."

Jiang Xia looked down and found that the news was released a year ago:

[President Yamakoko passed away, leaving the business giants without a leader!

Yuzo Yamako, the president of Yamako Manufacturing Co., Ltd., one of Japan's largest conglomerates, died of bile duct cancer at the age of 76 a few days ago.

Since the suicide note left by President Yamakoko could not be found, the family members were busy fighting for the inheritance, and disputes continued.

…]

"No suicide note found?"

It is rare for a president these days not to prepare a will in advance. Otherwise, if one day the person dies, the family will be separated and the company will suffer.

What's more, when President Yamakota passed away in the news, he was already considered to be an old man, and it was even less likely that he would just go away regardless. Therefore, "failed to find" is definitely not because there is none, but because the suicide note was lost for some reason.

Reading further, sure enough, this report also speculated that someone stole the suicide note. It discussed at length the whereabouts of the suicide note, speculating on which member of the family had stolen it.

Jiang Xia glanced at all kinds of speculations and passed them by. After scrolling all the way to the end, he saw two introductory columns at the bottom of the page, with photos hanging in them - it seemed that these two people were the authors of this report.

The female reporter looked at the screen in front of him, raised her hand and pointed to him: "This is the deceased."

Jiang Xia's eyes fell on the other side: "The one next to him looks familiar."

The female reporter was a little embarrassed: "Did you recognize it? Well, actually, this is the person who quarreled with the deceased in the store yesterday. I was also present at the time, and this report was written jointly by the two of them."

Kinoshita Yoko has also been listening quietly.

Hearing this, she recalled the two people she met who had a fierce quarrel in the coffee shop when the show started, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I thought they had a bad relationship, but I didn't expect that they actually cooperated."

"Their tempers are actually quite similar, so the two people had a really good relationship at the time."

The female reporter didn't seem to like these two people very much. She looked around and found that her colleagues were blocked outside the cordon and couldn't take pictures here. Then she whispered the next thing:

"They reaped the benefits of this report, and then continued to fan the flames of the will incident - not only appeared on various programs and discussed the matter in depth on the program, but also launched a sequel in newspapers and magazines. During that time , there are discussions everywhere about the whereabouts of the suicide note and the relationship between President Yamakoko’s family, and the plot is as thrilling as a novel with twists and turns.”

"In the eyes of the citizens, this may be just ordinary entertainment, but the problem is that the people in President Yamakoko's family inevitably saw their reports. So the people in the Yamakoko family followed them and made wild guesses. The relationship between them became increasingly tense, and in the end, a murder case was caused!

"After the death, public opinion turned and the two of them were severely criticized, and magazine sales continued to decline. From then on, their relationship became worse and worse."

Jiang Xia: "..." No one will blame me for the murder case a year ago.

But it's quite a pity. If he could choose, he would prefer to move this case to a year later...

Miwako Sato saw Jiang Xia deep in thought. After waiting for a while, she couldn't help but ask: "Got an idea?"

She had been busy for two or three days on this kidnapping case, and now she really wanted to have a good sleep...

Jiang Xia came back to his senses: "There must be something hidden behind the will about the will a year ago. Coupled with the relationship between the two of them... I think it is necessary to start from here. First, invite the colleague to come over and ask about the situation. "

...Although he could go back to the police station and ask again, to be honest, Jiang Xia actually wanted to stay by the river for a little longer.

There is no other reason. The temptation of the two murderous factories in the river behind is too great. If he wasn't afraid that his boss would die in the river at such a young age, he would have led the police to block him by the river until the end of time.

…

Not long after, the Memu Police Department and the others got slightly more detailed information.

"Kaga Sumahiro, 38 years old, is a professional journalist. His time of death should be yesterday afternoon to evening. More details will have to wait for the autopsy results. At present, this person is likely to have died of cyanide poisoning."

As he said that, Police Department Megu lowered his head and looked at the deceased. There was a thermos cup in the deceased's hand, and the coffee in it spilled all over the floor.

The cup held it naturally in his hand, and there was no sign that it had been forced into it. As a result, the police officer Mu Mu felt something in his mind and couldn't help but think: Could it be that he committed suicide?

After a moment, he shook his head vigorously, firmly erasing this preconceived notion: Such a big Jiang Xia was still standing beside him. How could anyone commit suicide in the presence of this detective?

As soon as the idea came to an end, Jiang Xia looked at the coffee cup thoughtfully: "It looks like suicide?"

Mumu Police Department: "?"

Conan: "?" Why did you suddenly steal the policeman's line?

Thinking of the explosion that had just occurred and Jiang Xia who had just performed an extreme escape in the warehouse, Conan felt that everything seemed to be understandable.

He exclaimed skillfully: "Oh, how strange! There seems to be half a footprint here."

"?!" Police Department Mu Mu was startled and followed his direction and looked carefully, "There really is one!"

——There was a lot of coffee in the cup, and the liquid flowed into a long puddle on the ground. In one of the inconspicuous corners, the coffee seemed to have been stepped on by someone, leaving some faint lines on the soles.

This is obviously a very important clue. With toxic cyanide in the mouth, a person will quickly become incapacitated. And the presence of this footprint here means that someone has been here after the deceased fell to the ground.
