Corpse collector in Conan

However, to Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's disappointment, Dr. Ari's old friend not only missed them, but actually arrived a few minutes early.

"Ali!" A 7-seater business car parked outside the courtyard gate, and a middle-aged man with a kind smile got out of the car. The man raised his hand and said hello to Dr. A Li, "Let's go. Do you have a lot of luggage? Do you need my help?"

Conan looked at the man and suddenly realized: "It turns out to be Mr. Sakaguchi."

Jiang Xia's ears twitched: "Your acquaintance?"

Conan shook his head, with a somewhat nostalgic expression on his face: "I'm not familiar with him, but his family has a German shepherd. When I was in elementary school, I would pass by his house when I went to and from school. The dog looked familiar to me, and he even He ate bread from my hand through the courtyard gate - if you calculate his age, he should be almost 8 years old. Time flies so fast. "

As he was talking, he remembered something and whispered to Jiang Xia: "If you are caught racing one day, you can also go to him - I remember he is a lawyer specializing in legal issues for minors. For the sake of the neighbors, , he will definitely be able to fish you out smoothly."

Jiang Xia glanced at him: "...Although there is no evidence, I always feel that the probability of you being caught skateboarding is higher than the probability of me being caught." After all, the versatile psychic can abandon his car at any time and walk upstairs with a leopard. , and some solar skateboards for primary school students are not so convenient.

But when he mentioned this lawyer, Jiang Xia vaguely thought of another thing: "Did his family have any cases when he was in third or fourth grade?"

Conan nodded and his expression became a little heavy: "His son committed suicide. The brother seemed to have just entered junior high school at that time."

The two people were chatting casually. At this time, at the entrance of the hospital, Dr. Ali ended his greetings.

He turned around and waved to the children, and said happily: "Let's go, get ready to go!"

…

The group put on their coats, picked up their luggage, and checked if there was anything they had forgotten.

Lawyer Sakaguchi leaned by the car and waited boredly, so he made a phone call and went out: "Hello? Xiaogang, oh, I'm getting ready to leave. Did you forget to feed John?"

"Haha, does it miss me?" Masayoshi Sakaguchi said with a smile, "I will be out for about two or three days this time, so I have to ask you to help me look after my house. By the way, give John the phone and I'll have a chat with it - —I’m going to be separated for so many days, and I really miss it.”

The lawyer was chatting warmly with his friend who was helping to feed the dog.

At the same time, on the other side of Miwa Town.

Mouri Kogoro yawned and walked home in a daze with tired steps.

Mao Lilan followed him, muttering dissatisfied: "You can actually drink with friends all night long...You are getting older, so you should pay more attention to your health."

"How old?" Mouri Kogoro snorted, "Your father and I are in the prime of life!"

Mao Lilan rolled her eyes and was about to say something. However, at this moment, a frightened scream of "Ah——!!" suddenly came from a nearby independent house.

Maori Kogoro:"……?"

Mao Lilan: "?!"

The father and daughter were stunned, looked at each other for a moment, and reacted skillfully.

Mouri Kogoro rushed to the house next to him, climbed over the courtyard door, and knocked on the door. Mao Lilan ran over there, took out her cell phone and pressed the alarm.

"Is there anyone there? Who was shouting just now?" Mouri Kogoro said loudly, "Open the door quickly, or I...poof!!"

Suddenly, the door was knocked open from the inside, and a fashionably dressed young woman in a miniskirt rushed out.

Mouri Kogoro was hit in the chest by a door frame and almost lost his breath. Mao Lilan, who had already reported her address, quickly ran over and supported him with one hand and the young woman who was kneeling on the ground with the other: "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

The young woman trembled and said confusedly: "Dog, that dog named John...it suddenly jumped on Xiaogang, Xiaogang...Xiaogang's neck was broken!"

These words were confusing, but fortunately, the Maori father and daughter quickly extracted the keyword: broken neck.

...Sounds like there was a murder?

Mouri Kogoro didn't dare to delay and rushed into the house immediately. Mao Lilan was worried about her old father, who had just stayed up all night and was very weak, and ran in after him.

The two walked through the spacious corridor and came to the living room. At the corner of the escalator leading to the second floor, a young man fell there in a twisted posture - his eyes were wide open, his head hit the wall, and his body was bent. Ninety degrees.

Further up the stairs, a strong dog stopped there, looking down with ferocious eyes.

"This is... John?" Mao Lilan suddenly recognized it. This was also a place she often passed by when she was in elementary school. She realized later, "This is lawyer Sakaguchi's house?"

At this moment, she suddenly found a mobile phone lying at her feet. The screen of the mobile phone was somewhat cracked, but it was still on. It must have been dropped from the deceased's hand.

Mao Lilan approached carefully and found that the screen actually showed that she was on a call. After hesitating for a moment, she carefully reached out and pressed the release button.

An anxious voice then sounded: "Hello? Hello? - Talk, Xiaogang, hello??"

Mao Lilan: "Um, is Xiaogang your friend?"

As she said that, she raised her head and glanced at Mouri Kogoro.

Seeing her father standing next to the body and shaking his head regretfully, Mao Lilan understood everything immediately. She sighed and said to the person on the other side of the phone: "Mr. Xiaogang may have passed away. If it's convenient, why don't you come over?" ?”

…

On the other side, in front of the yard of Dr. Ali's house.

Conan's ears twitched slightly and he muttered to Jiang Xia: "I always feel like I heard Xiaolan's voice."

Jiang Xia looked at Lawyer Sakaguchi who was anxiously making a phone call: "It's probably not an illusion - his receiver is leaking a little bit, and it's indeed Xiaolan talking on the other side."

"!" Conan rushed forward and grabbed Lawyer Sakaguchi's trouser leg, "Stop talking nonsense and take us there quickly!"

Lawyer Sakaguchi was startled by him: "Oh, okay. I...I'll go back right now!"

…

The commercial vehicle that was originally used for traveling has now become a tool used to rush to the scene.

The vehicle roared forward, and in the last row of seats, three real children sat side by side in a daze.

The three of you look at me, and I look at you. Motojima scratched his head, as if waking up from a dream: "So why are we in the car?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "...because brother Jiang Xia just opened the car door and shouted to us, 'get in the car'."

Then their legs didn't obey their orders and moved up numbly.

"But why do you want us to get in the car?" Yoshida Ayumi activated the intuition of a young woman, "Is brother Jiang Xia afraid that we will leave the adults behind and go skiing alone?"

Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko shook his head rationally: "No, maybe he is worried that the adults are gone and us children will act mischievously, so he wants to keep us under his nose."
