Conan’s Corpse Picker

Then the middle-aged man chased Miwako Sato and President Ishimoto away with a brisk pace.

Conan looked at his back and couldn't help but said to Jiang Xia: "Don't they think it was a coincidence that the hacker died? I think the murderer came for the congressmen, and there must be more than one murderer. That hacker must still be there There was an accomplice—the accomplice hiding behind the scenes who planned the assassination of the congressmen and then killed the hackers, hoping to close the case and get himself clean."

The bodyguard job looks to be over. Jiang Xia was a little disappointed.

But there was no use staying in this empty place, so he had no choice but to pick up Conan and leave together. By the way, he comforted the motivated detective: "Evidence, we need to find evidence."

Conan was still deep in thought when his feet suddenly lifted off the ground and he suddenly came back to his senses.

He remembered what the female secretary had called a "kid" just now, and immediately protested like a high school student: "I'll go by myself!"

During the struggle, the two of them turned the corner and almost collided with someone.

Jiang Xia had a "near miss", but Conan was actually hit with half of his body, causing him to spin half a circle in the air.

He adjusted his glasses in a daze, glanced back at the man who was walking without looking at the road like them, and then suddenly froze: this man was dark-skinned, tall, with a low ponytail tied behind his head - this was exactly After the incident, an unknown man secretly met President Ishimoto’s female secretary in the game room next to the banquet hall!

"It's the person in the arcade last night." Conan reminded Jiang Xia in a low voice, and suddenly realized something, "Did he go to President Ishimoto's office?!"

Jiang Xia nodded silently, turned around and followed silently without him having to say anything.

The two detectives followed carefully. It was indeed difficult to find the person being followed.

As they expected, the pigtail stopped at the door of President Ishimoto's office.

He carefully turned his head and looked both ways, but saw no one, so he quickly entered the room and started rummaging around the office.

Jiang Xia walked out of the corner where he was hiding, taking Conan with him, and quietly looked in through the transom window.

Not long after, Pigtail found a palm-sized square box from the closet. He chuckled, put the box in his pocket, and turned around to go out.

Before he went out, Jiang Xia hid again.

Looking at the black pigtails striding away from the corridor, Jiang Xia fell into deep thought: If she recorded the scene just now and sent it to the police, I wonder if she could squeeze out some murderous energy... Alas, there are many detectives in Tokyo who were rummaging through the crime scene. There are people there every day, and the police may not mind that much.

Conan saw the way he was thinking and knew that Jiang Xia must have guessed something, so he confidently stretched out his hand and gave him a high-five: "It seems that we have thought of the same thing - there is only one piece missing from this troublesome case!"

Jiang Xia came back to his senses: "Yeah." That's right, he just had to pull the shikigami off the killer's leg.

The two people looked at each other and went to the abandoned building enthusiastically. This is the scene where the hacker fell to his death.

…

"The guards are so tight." Conan jumped out of the taxi and looked furtively at the building in front of him and the police stationed nearby.

He began to habitually think about which angle he should sneak in. Before he could think about it, Jiang Xia had already passed by him normally.

Then Conan saw the high school detective whispering a few words to the policeman at the cordon. Soon, the policeman happily welcomed Jiang Xia in, his face filled with joy that "soon I won't have to stand guard anymore."

Conan: "..." Damn it, the world of adults is so beautiful. If I were still the same Kudo Shinichi as before...

"Are you leaving?" Jiang Xia suddenly stopped and looked back at him.

"Coming, coming." Conan wiped his face sadly and trotted to keep up. After all, if the distance between him and Jiang Xia is too long, he won't be able to follow him to the crime scene.

…

After climbing a few levels along the steps, it didn't take long for the two of them to reach the place where the hacker fell to his death.

The concrete floor is covered with marking lines, and the white lines symbolize death. Thinking about the corpses that were just taken away from here, for a moment, it seems that even the surrounding temperature has become a few degrees colder.

However, one of the two detectives enjoyed the spooky atmosphere that seemed to be haunted by the ghosts of innocent people all the time, while the other just felt that the building with its backside was quite cool.

They searched around the body and walked up a bit. Conan rolled up his sleeves and carefully searched around the dusty corners.

After looking through a box, Conan turned around and found Jiang Xia staring at a hole in the corner.

The hole was on the ground in the corner, lined with dust and debris, making it extremely inconspicuous.

But Conan seemed to have some kind of premonition.

He ran over quickly, looked inside, his eyes lit up, and he planned to reach into the hole.

Jiang Xia looked at the hole that had accumulated dust and muddy water for countless years, and remembered that he would be riding in the same car with Conan later, so he stopped him.

He said sternly: "Leave this physical evidence to the police for extraction. In such a big case, if we leave traces, the police will also find it troublesome."

"Okay." Conan sighed at the awareness of his fellow detective.

This was indeed a normal practice, but not being able to solve the puzzle with his own hands still made him feel uncomfortable. It was like seeing red flashing dots in a game but having to endure not being able to click on them. Conan had no choice but to lie beside the hole and watch helplessly.

While Jiang Xia was wary of him reaching out, he called the Mu Mu Police Department.

"Brother Jiang Xia." The voice of Mumu Police Department sounded less cheerful than before.

So Jiang Xia asked casually: "What's wrong?"

The Memu Police Department sighed and expressed bitterness: "Originally, I thought this matter could be closed, but who knew that there was a new discovery made by the forensic department - they said that in Hiraoka Shiro, that is, that Another kind of footprints was detected at the place where the 'piranha' died.

"We found the homeless man who found the body and compared it. He didn't leave it behind, so we suspected that the hacker actually had an accomplice. The hacker might have been silenced by his accomplice.

"Alas, President Ishimoto also said that he didn't offend anyone. Forget about the group of guys who went to assassinate him yesterday, the shooters were actually two people! Now we are ordered to find the hacker's accomplices within two days. For two days, those people above really dared to speak..."

"So that's it." Jiang Xia comforted the police department who thought he would get off work soon but was forced to come back to work overtime. "It doesn't matter, two days are enough. This is how to solve a case. We are very close to the truth."
