Corpse collector in Conan

Conan and Kinoshita Yoko were lying in front of the one-way mirror, intently looking at the suspect in the interrogation room.

Jiang Xia stood nearby, a little bored.

He remembered the live broadcast opening video cut by Vodka just now. He had nothing to do, so he decided to send a message to his colleagues to express their feelings:

[By the way, do you know who the lucky mascot was when the live broadcast started yesterday, wearing a doll costume, shaking hands and hugging Ms. Yoko, and asking for photos and autographs at any time? ]

On the other side, in a black vehicle.

Vodka glanced down at the email and sneered.

Oh, do you think this can stir up my emotions and arouse my anger? I……

Damn it, I’m really a little angry!

Vodka: "..." Bastard Uzo, I hope this guy will be poisoned by a sudden poison as soon as he randomly accepts the snacks handed to him by the suspect.

...Speaking of which, who is that mascot?

If you can't get Uzo, why can't you get that guy?

Just as he was thinking fiercely, Jiang Xia's next email came:

[It’s bourbon. These days, whenever he wants, he can come to Miss Yoko for cooperation. If anyone else applies for a mascot job, they will now receive the same treatment. Alas, what a pity. ]

Vodka: "..."

Oh, stupid Uzo, do you think he will be fooled if you provoke him like this? Except for Bourbon who was calculated to do such a dangerous thing live broadcast, other cadres would be stupid to do it.

Vodka: "..." But Bourbon can do it, why can't I? Just wearing a hood to say a few silly words to cheer...

No no no! It’s such an obvious temptation and conspiracy, you’d be a fool to fall for it!

Vodka's thoughts experienced many swings in a short period of time, and finally stabilized: "Conspiracy, it's all Uzo's conspiracy!"

…

After Jiang Xia sent the email and didn't receive a reply, she suddenly felt a little pity.

But after experiencing the fluctuation just now, the vodka must have had some ice cream.

I recently found an excuse to go shopping in Gin's car, and I should be able to find the murderous aura balls that fell from the car.

While Jiang Xia was squeezing ice cream remotely, Officer Takagi finally found the equipment and started replaying yesterday's live broadcast.

Although the focus of the live broadcast was on the host and Jiang Xia, after entering the coffee shop, as a quarrel suddenly broke out at a certain table, the cameraman instinctively turned the camera there.

Soon, everyone saw two middle-aged men wearing glasses arguing fiercely across the dining table.

"Yes, it is indeed the deceased and the suspect." Miwako Sato checked carefully and suddenly saw a scene, "Pause!"

As the scene paused, the technicians zoomed in on the two cups on the table.

They were two thermos cups, very close to each other. The cups were actually the same model and looked exactly the same.

The scene continued. After learning that there was a live broadcast and asking people to stop arguing, Hashizume Akira picked up the thermos cup and stuffed it into his bag, and left angrily.

Behind him, the deceased stared at the remaining thermos cup, his face changing several times. Finally, he lowered his head, picked up the remaining cup, and left in a hurry.

Everyone's eyes fell on his face.

Miwako Sato hesitated: "Why do I feel that... when Hashizume Akira left, he seemed to have deliberately taken the deceased's cup by mistake?" She looked at Jiang Xia for confirmation.

"It does seem intentional." Jiang Xia nodded, "Although the two thermos cups are close to each other, they cannot be placed in the same position no matter how close they are. When Hashizume Akira left, he actually took the one slightly farther away from him. A cup. Judging from its position, it looks more like the deceased’s thermos cup.”

Yoko Kinoshita always felt that the expressions of the two people when they left were strange: "Maybe they saw that there was a camera filming, and they were embarrassed to continue arguing, so they didn't care about the problem of taking the wrong cup. They just wanted to leave the camera as soon as possible, and then Exchange it back?"

"There may be another situation." Officer Takagi suddenly had some speculation and slammed his fist on his palm. "I remember that the deceased was poisoned by the coffee in the thermos cup. Maybe it was yesterday that the two people met at the restaurant. Previously, Hashizume Akira poisoned his thermos cup, and when he left, he deliberately took the wrong cup and left his poisoned cup of coffee to the deceased. The deceased drank the poison when he walked under the bridge. Coffee, so it was poisoned to death!”

Jiang Xia pointed to another scene in the video: "The deceased looked at the thermos cup with such a weird expression. He should have discovered that the two of them had taken the wrong cup to each other. But he still drank the poison. There should be another hidden reason behind this."

Officer Takagi is quite optimistic: "Anyway, this can be regarded as a breakthrough. If the Megure Police Department seizes this point for questioning..."

…

Unfortunately, the Megure Police Department failed to meet his expectations.

Instead, Hashizume Akira relied on his burying skills developed as a reporter to find out the time of death of the deceased from the police in many twists and turns.

Then he leaned back in his chair with a relaxed expression: "Humph, I told you that you arrested the wrong person, but you still don't admit it - during this period, I have an alibi."

"Alibi?" Miwako Sato frowned and ran over to listen.

Kinoshita Yoko stayed where she was, with a strange expression.

Jiang Xia looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Kinoshita Yoko looked around and found that no one was eavesdropping. Then he got closer and quietly said to Jiang Xia: "According to the collection of your cases I collected, those people with the strongest alibi are probably the truth in the case." Fierce! It seems that this case has already been solved. I hope it can be solved soon, and then we can go to your school to shoot together."

Jiang Xia: "..." Do you know a little too much?

But forget it, it’s not a big problem. He nodded and agreed casually: "I also want to go to school early."

That being said, Jiang Xia is actually not enthusiastic about Didan Middle School. In his impression, there are few murders in the school. Occasionally there are some cases, but most of them are just pretentious.

Compared to this, he felt that the way to school was more exciting.

Hashizume Akira was unaware of the detective's thoughts and was still arguing with the police: "Didn't that guy die between 7 and 9 last night? And I have been squatting on a target from 6 pm to early this morning. Black information, that guy is suspected of cheating, I have been squatting under his building for several days."

"...You just say it's unfounded, what evidence do you have?"

"Don't the videos I took count as evidence?" Akira Hashizume snorted, "Let me go home and I'll copy the things I took."

…

Not long after, the video was played in the police station.

In the lower right corner of the video, there is the shooting time. Moreover, at around 7 o'clock last night, a courier happened to go to the target's apartment to deliver a package, and he was also caught on camera.
