Corpse collector in Conan

Serious residents of Miwa Town will usually call the police when they see a dead body. But that's not necessarily the case for the murderer or other people with evil intentions.

The footprints left at the crime scene seem to have illustrated the nature of the case.

The Megure Police Department felt that this was good news. He pointed at the blood mark and said: "Extract the traces as soon as possible, and then go to the deceased's nemesis, his name is Hashizume Akira, right? Go to his house and keep an eye on him, don't let him escape!"

There were more and more people watching. Although Jiang Xia didn't mind staying longer, the police didn't seem to like being exposed to so many cameras. The speed at which they handled the scene was almost doubled.

Not long after, the body was brought back to the police station along with the physical evidence.

The police force withdrew, leaving only a few people to evacuate the crowd and guard the scene. The fire at the factory has also been put out, and the blockade is no longer continued.

There was no excitement, and gradually, the onlookers also left.

The two cadres who had been soaking in the water for a long time breathed a silent sigh of relief. A series of bubbles full of murderous intent appeared on the water in front of them.

The two of them looked at each other, probably feeling that this was not a good time to talk, and they were more worried that the other would take advantage of others' danger to find accomplices, which would be detrimental to them. So they did not communicate more, went ashore from different directions, and quickly disappeared from each other. before.

…

Jiang Xia and the others were on their way to the police station.

Representative Takada had just attended a charity event. When he got into the car, he suddenly remembered something: "I will be passing by Didan Middle School in a while. The detective should still be being interviewed. Let's stop by and take a look."

The secretary was startled and hesitated: "Jiang Xia is indeed being interviewed, but he should not be at Didan Middle School now - on the way to school, he suddenly encountered a kidnapping case, which delayed some time. Now the program team is scrapping Report the current situation from the factory.”

"Abandoned factory?" Councilor Takada couldn't help but frown. He didn't like people who disrupted his plans. The laptop happened to be at hand. He turned it over and found that the live broadcast had been paused. However, a reporter with quick hands compiled the text and animations of the scene. At this time, the screen was full of relevant reports.

Councilor Takada randomly clicked on a webpage to check and saw the last segment of the live broadcast. The background there is not an abandoned factory, but a bridge.

It is customary for reporters to give close-ups of the deceased to catch people's attention with the tragic death. Councilor Takada's eyes instantly fell on the dead man. When he took a closer look, he suddenly found that the corpse on the ground looked familiar.

"Huh?" The corners of his wrinkled lips raised silently, "Isn't this that bastard reporter who doesn't know how to live or die?"

The secretary was about to drive when he heard this and looked back and said in surprise: "Is this the person who threatened you with scandal a few days ago and wanted you to provide more breaking news? He is actually dead... You are indeed a God favored by God. The chosen one.”

Councilor Takada laughed loudly: "Okay, stop flattering me."

Halfway through laughing, he remembered something and suddenly sat upright: "Wait a minute, I remember that guy had a companion who was squatting outside with him at the time..."

His eyes quickly scanned the report in front of him and the other published pictures. Then he sadly discovered that only one person died: this was not the serial murder he had hoped for.

"One of them is still alive." Councilman Takada frowned, "We can't delay it. It doesn't matter whether it's money or information. If necessary, you can find a way to shut him up before the police come to him. "

Secretary: "..." It has been written in the news that that person is the biggest suspect, and the police must have passed it. Isn't this request a bit difficult... But forget it, in short, respond first, and then talk about it if it doesn't work.

…

The secretary hurriedly found someone to rush over, but it was still a step too late.

The police had already arrived at Hashizume Akira's house first - after all, his journalist colleagues were there, and they immediately knew his current location without even in-depth investigation.

Hashizume Akira didn't want to cooperate at first, but it didn't take long for the police to collect enough evidence to call him to the police station. This time, the body was broadcast live as soon as it was discovered. It was another program linked to politicians, and the police were much more efficient than usual.

The police were unable to find any shoes at Akira Hashizume's home, but they still made a significant discovery.

…

Metropolitan Police Department, in the inquiry room.

Megure Police Department looked at Akira Hashizume who was sitting across from him: "I heard that you were colleagues with Mr. Hiroshi Kaga, who is now dead."

Before he could finish, Akira Hashizume interrupted with a sneer: "What, I have to be arrested because I am a colleague?"

Memu Police Department: "Don't confuse the topic. This is not about being arrested. I'm just asking you to come and talk as a witness."

Hashizume Akira continued to sneer uncooperatively: "Let me guess, it must be some talkative guy behind his back, saying that I had a bad relationship with the deceased and often quarreled, so you think I had the motive to kill him. right."

"It's not all like that." Police Department Megu remembered that this guy was a professional digging up scandals for others, and he was very good at adding fuel to the fire, so he spoke more cautiously, "I asked you to come here because of this."

Miwako Sato walked in with a stack of reports and put it on the table. It was a fingerprint report on a thermos cup.

""This is the thermos cup we found at the crime scene. It was in the hand of the deceased at the time, and the coffee inside was highly poisoned. The cause of death of the deceased was drinking the contents of this cup - your fingerprints were detected in many places on this thermos cup. Can you explain the reason? "

"..."

Hashizume Akira looked at the thermos cup, his arrogance finally stagnated, and he became a little nervous.

But soon, he calmed down: "We are colleagues, we often hang out in the same places, and we happened to buy the same type of thermos cup. The two cups are exactly the same, and I often accidentally pick up the wrong one. On the cup Isn’t it normal to leave fingerprints?”

Mumu Police Department: "..." It seems quite reasonable?

Jiang Xia is watching from outside. In fact, he often wanders into the interrogation room to have direct contact with prisoners. But this time it was a live broadcast, and he had to face reporters who were dedicated to digging up scandals. Megure Police Department and Sato Miwako did not let him enter the house, fearing that Hashizume Akira would catch him and make a fuss about it. After all, this is also a ruthless man who once caused the murder of a wealthy family by relying on a report.

But being unable to enter the house does not affect Jiang Xia's progress in solving the case. He seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Officer Takagi next to him:

"I remembered that when the live broadcast just started yesterday, the program team and I entered a coffee shop. At that time, the reporter happened to be arguing with the deceased in the coffee shop. I remember that there were indeed two thermos cups on their table."

Officer Takagi perked up and realized that this was an important clue: "They had a quarrel yesterday, and the person died that night. Could it be that the cup you saw at that time was actually a poison weapon?... Did you still record the screen recording of yesterday's live broadcast? Do you want to keep it?"
