Corpse collector in Conan

Miwako Sato has already reached the door of the security room.

She was about to take advantage of the "robber leader"'s back to the door, kick the door in and give him a hug. However, when she got closer, she recognized that it was Jiang Xia standing in the room.

Officer Sato was startled: "...Aren't you a hostage?"

Jiang Xia glanced at her through the window, opened the half-open door of the security room, and let the police into the room: "It was just now, but now I have changed careers."

Sato: "..."

She looked at the people on the ground. Oh, forget it, the details are not important, as long as the kidnapper is fine.

but……

Sato wondered: "Why so many? Conan just said there were only five robbers."

Jiang Xia raised his hand and pointed: "The last three are the security guards who were caught together before, but I'm not sure if there is any insider among them, so they are strung together - the rest are the robbers who have been identified. "

The next step is to identify hostages and robbers, which is the job of the police.

After Jiang Xia finished her work, she returned home and started packing things for her trip to Mermaid Island.

…

A few days later, when the date on the travel voucher came, Jiang Xia came to the beach and prepared to take a boat.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan also came early.

The travel agency's boat is scheduled to leave in the evening and arrive tomorrow.

After Jiang Xia had lunch, she took a few classmates for a walk on the beach, planning to see if there were any cases.

Just as he was scanning the passers-by in the sea, trying to find murderous intent in them, behind him, the travel agency's ship exploded.

Jiang Xia: "...?"

The four people ran closer to take a look at the situation. It was not the entire ship that exploded, but a certain cabin. The accident only killed one person and did not cause a fire.

Judging from the accessories on the charred corpse and the testimonies of the onlookers, the deceased should be the captain.

Jiang Xia had no impression of this incident, but he raised his head and saw three people suddenly appearing next to him: the first mate who appeared out of nowhere, the handsome chief engineer, and a sailor who looked like a villain.

Jiang Xia understood immediately - this was no accident, but a murder.

As expected, not long after, a piece of shikigami gradually appeared on the burnt corpse. It squirmed and floated closer, grabbing the engine's long legs.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko stared blankly at the charred corpse for a moment, then took out their mobile phones while trembling.

Mao Lilan started calling the police. Suzuki Sonoko originally wanted to call an ambulance, but after dialing the number, she glanced at the body through her fingers and fell into deep thought.

After pondering, Suzuki Sonoko silently gave up the idea and called the fire brigade instead.

Conan took out his earmuffs as usual and put them on skillfully.

Jiang Xia followed a few keywords and searched in his memory for a moment, realizing that this was an incident outside of the spoilers.

He asked a few ghosts to wander around the area, looking for clues. At the same time, use these few spare minutes to think about whether Conan's physique has been upgraded after the incident...

Before reaching a conclusion, the ghosts sneaked back to report - they found physical evidence that was tied to heavy objects and sunk into the sea on the nearby seabed.

Once you have locked down the murderer and the physical evidence, and then talk to the murderer who has a poor psychological quality, you can almost make up the reasoning in the middle.

On the other side, Conan was wearing earmuffs and immersed in his thoughts about solving the case.

After finally coming to a conclusion, he returned to the crime scene and saw the murderer, who was crying bitterly and stating the motive for the murder, being pulled up from the ground and put into a police car.

Conan was startled, a little surprised - he came back after reasoning, and he could still see the end.

But thinking about the fire during the explosion just now, and the charred corpse that was blown up, plus the fact that the thing that was blown up was a boat, it can be considered a means of transportation...

Conan quickly made a patch: Well, don't think about it, Jiang Xia must have been disturbed by these thoughts - look, until now, when he looked at his back on the sea, he looked a little bit sad.

Jiang Xia is indeed worried.

I was about to go to Mermaid Island to deal with a serial murder case, and I also picked up a shikigami on the way. It should have been double happiness.

But just now, someone from the travel agency informed them that the boat is temporarily unable to sail and the departure time has not yet been determined.

This trip has a relatively long timeline - Mermaid Island and several surrounding islands with their own characteristics have formed a tourist belt. Although Mermaid Island is the main project, the travel plan also arranges for other islands. If we only postpone our trip for a day or two, we can still catch up with the festival to pick up ghosts.

But fearing that it would be delayed for too long, another detective came to the island in advance and successfully solved the case. In that case, no one knows where the leg-picking shikigami will wander away from the murderer after eliminating his obsession.

If they float into the sea, Jiang Xia will have to search for ghosts on a large scale, which will consume a lot of murderous energy and may not be able to find them...

Fortunately, Jiang Xia's new troubles were quickly resolved.

——Suzuki Sonoko stood next to Jiang Xia, sighing quietly with him, when she suddenly saw a group of people boarding the ship.

As soon as she looked over, she saw someone looking over there. They looked at each other, and the eyes of the straight black girl opposite lit up: "Yuanzi!"

This was someone Suzuki Sonoko knew. After being startled, she happily trotted over: "Sister Natsue I!"

When Jiang Xia heard the name, he looked at the team arrangement of those who were boarding the yacht, and his eyes lit up.

...is the smell of the case.

And it seems to be a serial murder case.

…

This time they met three generations of the Yu family, plus a housekeeper, a total of ten people.

The Subamoto family is slightly inferior to the Suzuki Group in terms of assets, but it is a wealthy family with a long history. There are many opportunities for Suzuki Sonoko and Natsue Subamoto to come into contact.

The two girls stopped and chatted for a while.

Five minutes later, Suzuki Sonoko successfully led her teammates to the boat.

——Yu Ben Xiajiang is getting married soon. According to the tradition of the Yiben family, their weddings for generations will be held on Yiben Island.

And Yuben Island happens to be not far from Mermaid Island. Xiajiang Yumoto plans to wait until the marriage is completed and then go to the Mermaid Festival to see if he can try his luck to get the "Dugong Arrow" - it is said that the Dugong Arrow has magical power, and the person who gets it can stay young forever.

The head of the Subamoto family is an old man wearing a kimono.

He swung onto the boat with his hands behind his back. When he turned around, he found that there were a few strangers on the boat. He suddenly looked unhappy and wanted to scold them.

Natsue Tsutomoto's sister, Akie Tsutomoto, saw something was wrong, leaned over and whispered: "Grandpa, that is the youngest daughter of the chairman of the Suzuki Foundation."

Patriarch Luoben's expression changed several times, and he suppressed the curse he was about to say.

However, he had just reluctantly accepted the result of letting strangers on the boat. At this moment, someone under the boat suddenly made a surprised voice: "Jiang Xia! Why are you here?"
