Corpse collector in Conan

Chapter 2688 2692【Attack】Please give me your monthly ticketヽ(〃〃)~

Various images replayed in his mind, and they were quickly frozen in Conan's mind. He suddenly remembered - when Maya Hashimoto left the magic venue last night, she was holding a beautiful bouquet of white roses in her hand.

"White rose, magic..." Conan tried to catch something along the thread, "This is too coincidental. Is there any connection hidden in it that I don't know about?"

He stared at the beautiful female magician with long hair in the group photo, and wanted to focus on this point and ask more about it.

But when he glanced at Toru Amuro next to him from the corner of his eye... Conan could only clench his fists and swallow the question forbearingly while holding a grudge.

When Mrs. Ninety-nine mentioned these three apprentices, her expression became gentler: "The three of them are all good children. They are currently staying at my house in order to learn magic."

Next to him, Toru Amuro, although he didn't know White Rose, was slightly moved by the situation described by Mrs. Kujiu: three magician apprentices living in the master's house, and they were also two men and one woman... This background was almost the same as The case yesterday was exactly the same.

He cleared his throat: "Where were those three people when the crime occurred yesterday?"

Mrs. Ninety-nine recalled: "That evening, a dinner party was to be held at the Rice Krispies Restaurant, and a magic performance was scheduled to be held at the banquet. Because the reward was high, and there were many celebrities present, all three children accepted the invitation. , go to perform.”

"Actually, the person the hotel wanted to invite the most was my husband, but my husband felt that this kind of place was not worthy of his worth, and he had no past... Well, if I had known this, I would have had to make him agree to anything I said."

Jiang Xia pushed the biscuit box to the opposite side, trying to comfort the sad lady, and then he asked: "When will the three apprentices of the deceased be free? I want to talk to them - I want to solve this case. I’m afraid we still need their help.”

Mrs. Ninety-nine was stunned and understood what he meant: "You want to say that the three of them are also suspects in this case? - The police actually thought so, but everyone at the front and back of the dinner party No, all three of them were really present at the time and had no time or opportunity to go home and murder my husband.”

Tohru Amuro also wanted to see the three apprentices. Hearing this, he helped: "This is impossible to say. Although they all had alibis during the dinner, who can guarantee that they did not attack your husband before leaving home? - Maybe As early as when you and the three apprentices went out, your husband had already died quietly in the basement. "

"This..." This description made Mrs. Jiujiu feel a chill in her back, and she silently got goosebumps all over her body.

But soon she felt something was wrong and shook her head: "No. No, I remember that the police autopsy report contains the presumed time of my husband's death - he did die during the dinner, there will be no falsehood. ”

Recalling the collection of newspaper clippings from Jiangxia's crimes that she had read from a friend, Mrs. Jiujiu added: "There was no sleeping pills detected in my husband's body. In addition, he was not tied up and was completely free to move.

"To take a step back, let's say that the murderer is one of our three apprentices, and one of them gave my husband a capsule containing poison before leaving home. Then after he left, my husband could take the opportunity to call for help.

"But in fact, there was no trace of dialing on either the mobile phone or the landline in the basement, and the basement door was properly closed - it was as if my husband died calmly.

"In addition, the doors and windows of my house are well locked, and there are no signs of external intrusion...not outsiders, nor one of our own. Alas, it's no wonder those police officers finally came to the conclusion of 'suicide'."

Amuro couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "..." Put it this way, it really looks like suicide... But in the final analysis, it is just "like" - as long as this case is related to Uzo, then even if it is not He can make a final conclusion based on any evidence. This is by no means an ordinary suicide.

Jiang Xia felt the mellow coffee floating beside her, and poked the ghosts with her fingertips, asking them to gather more quickly.

He himself acted like a detective, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "It does sound like suicide, but since you came to me today, it means that you still have doubts in your heart. Sometimes, people have to believe in their own Intuition - can you tell me what exactly you think is wrong?"

Mrs. Jiujiu rubbed her fingers anxiously: "I can't tell what's wrong, but I really can't figure out why my husband committed suicide - tomorrow is my daughter Fumino's birthday. As early as a month ago, my husband had committed suicide for She has prepared birthday gifts and is looking forward to this day very much. Even if he committed suicide the day after tomorrow, I would not be so incomprehensible, but it happened before my daughter’s birthday..."

"By the way, there's one more thing." Mrs. Jiujiu thought of something, lowered her head and rummaged through her handbag.

Soon she took out two ordinary-looking playing cards and put them on the table.

Jiang Xia picked it up and looked at it, and saw that they were two red-bottom playing cards stuck together back to back. One card was the Ace of Spades, and the other was the J of Spades. They were slightly staggered diagonally and were glued together. A solid whole.

Mrs. Ninety-nine said: "This was found in the basement where my husband died. At that time, the police thought it was some kind of death message, so they carefully disassembled them and checked them, but there was nothing sandwiched inside the playing cards, and there was no Leave a mark.

“My husband is a magician, and there were many magic props in the basement, so the police thought they were what he used for practice and did not investigate further.

"But I still find it a little strange - my husband has been focusing on stage magic in recent years and rarely uses small props like playing cards. So I glued it back together and brought it here."

Amuro Toru glanced at Jiang Xia's bare hands, took the playing cards from him, and checked them himself.

"Go wash your hands, what if they are poisonous." He said to the employee who was extremely unvigilant, "Then let's go to this lady's house together."

As he said, he played with the poker in his hand and turned to Mrs. Jiujiu: "Since you have doubts in your heart, then things will be easy - take us to your house, and by the way, find the three apprentices, and we will help you investigate seriously."

Mrs. Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief and stood up happily: "Thank you for believing that he did not commit suicide - I will contact the three children now, but they may be busy during the day, and I don't know if they are at home."

Amuro Toru nodded and emphasized: "Don't say it's for investigating the murder directly, you just need to find an excuse like a dinner party to call them back."

- Let him take a good look at whether there are any things left by Uzo among the three people.
