Conan’s Corpse Picker

 Chapter 20862086【Alert】

Jiang Xia didn’t drink much, but tasted a little of everything. When she woke up the next day, she felt refreshed. After washing, he left the room and planned to eat.

 After walking only two steps, I met several other companions who were also going out.

Jiang Xia glanced over and was slightly startled when her eyes fell on Maya Hashimoto and Curacao.

 It seems that everything has a law of conservation, and the same applies to dark circles.

—One night passed, Curacao’s spirit returned to normal, and the dark circles under his eyes also disappeared.

But on the other side, the bruises around Maya Hashimoto's eyes were very thick, as if someone had punched her face-to-face with two symmetrical punches.

“…” Jiang Xia couldn’t pretend not to see it, “Are you okay?”

I just asked my younger brother to run errands and buy some wine. Those who didn’t know better thought he had sent someone to dig mines all night.

Maya Hashimoto was shocked: "It's okay!"

Conan looked up and saw his appearance, and was equally shocked: "...You don't look like you're okay."

In addition to buying wine, did this man do anything else?

Did you give Jiang Xia wine specifically to make the detective next door fall asleep so that he could do some sneaky operations in the middle of the night?

This thought flashed through Conan's mind. At the same time, he was a little annoyed: he himself drank too much and fell asleep last night, and failed to notice the movements of Maya Hashimoto, giving this guy time to sneak around at night.

 Hashimoto Maya actually didn’t go anywhere at night. He was just thinking about various issues related to his former boss.

Realizing that everyone was looking at the dark circles under his eyes, he silently took out his sunglasses, put them on, and said, "Maybe I'm a little acclimated to the new place. I didn't sleep last night... Don't worry, I'll come back to make up for it later." Just take a nap."

Hearing this, Curaçao turned to look at him, his eyes slightly alert.

For a moment, her thinking was subtly synchronized with the former Maya Hashimoto - what did this guy do last night? Could it be that he was secretly arranging something for Uzo's stage?

 …After such a busy night, the scene may be quite big. It seems that I have to be more cautious recently.

Jiang Xia was also considerate and did not ask any more questions, and greeted everyone: "Let's go eat first."

 …

After breakfast and having nothing to do, Suzuki Sonoko thought of something and snapped her fingers: "Let's go to the bride's preparation room and have a look!"

 At most weddings, the bride would have various relatives and friends coming and going, but Katori Akane only brought herself to the wedding this time, and no one else.

"The groom's side must be very lively." Suzuki Sonoko remembered the scuffle at yesterday's dinner and decisively decided to avoid it. She said to Jiang Xia, "Let's just go and cheer for the bride. It just so happens that you brought so many people, so don't use it in vain."

Xunzhengwan: "?"

 I am the employer! I should be the one to use this detective, why do you mean he doesn't use it for us in vain!

He wanted to retort loudly like this, but when he thought of the Suzuki Consortium behind a female high school student, he calmly shut up: Forget it, let’s not argue with the female high school student.

 …

 The group of people quickly arrived at the bride’s preparation room.

As expected, this place was empty. There was only Akane Katori and an assistant in the huge room.

The wedding styling has been completed, and Katori Akane is wearing a beautiful wedding dress and sitting in front of the dressing mirror. She had a circle of white flowers pinned to her veil, and the shoulder straps were decorated with green leaves and translucent floral gauze, which looked like a vibrant flower elf theme.

"so beautiful!"

　　Two female high school students came over generously and quickly started chatting with the bride.

 After chatting for a few words, the two young men walked along the corridor to the preparation room here.

Jiang Xia happened to be standing at the door. He looked up and saw the groom of the Oga family and the black leather glassmaker they met on the Shinkansen.

Conan saw them from a distance and couldn't help but mutter: "Why did these two people get together?" Jiang Xia: "Oga Shinya's whole family is opposed to his marriage. Now he may be more able to chat with outsiders than with his family. "

 Conan hesitated for a moment and whispered: "But don't you think the atmosphere between Mr. Takahashi and the bride is a bit strange?"

Jiang Xia: "Are you talking about the fact that when we arrived here yesterday and met for the first time, the bride looked at him and was stunned."

"You also discovered it." Conan scratched his head. He looked at the two people getting closer and lowered his voice. "Actually, there is another thing - I went to buy drinks at the fireworks display last night. When I arrived, I saw the bride and Mr. Takahashi talking alone! And it was not the kind of conversation between strangers, but more like they were arguing about something."

This first-year detective seemed to want to start reasoning and hypotheses with him about this matter.

But Jiang Xia didn't want to at all. After all, he was not a serious detective who loved solving puzzles.

It happened that the two young men were tall and had long legs, and they were walking very fast. I saw them getting closer and closer to the door. Jiang Xia raised her hand and pressed it on Conan's head, muting him manually.

 He lowered his voice in a dignified manner: "Hush, they are coming."

This mysterious way of speaking was indeed very bluffing. Conan immediately shut his mouth and actively changed the topic. He pretended to be innocent as a child and chatted with Jiang Xia about something else: "The bride sister is so beautiful!"

 Oga Shinya heard these words as soon as he got closer and laughed: "Thank you! What a cute kid."

 As he spoke, he touched Conan's head. And because he was about to see his bride, he was so excited that he failed to control his strength and pushed Conan's head against the door with a bang.

 Conan: “…”

　　…I didn’t praise you, so why are you thanking me!

 He rubbed the back of his head silently, and suddenly he could understand the elders of the Dahe family.

While talking, the two of them entered the door one after another.

 Oga Shinya: "The wedding is going to start soon! Akane, how are you preparing?"

The handsome dark-skinned boy blurted out: "Xiao Qian, you are so dazzling today."

 Jiangxia: “…”

 Conan: “…”

　　The two people turned their heads in unison and looked at the groom curiously.

The groom didn’t react at all to this sentence—he was looking at the bride in front of the dressing table, his eyes straight.

Suzuki Sonoko also heard what she just said. She smiled and ran over to smooth things over and asked the groom: "How does the bride look like? Does it look good?"

The unmarried couple looked at each other, and Katori Akane lowered her head shyly.

The groom obviously wanted to say something, but the words in his mind whirled around half a circle, and in the end he only came out with one sentence: "You are so beautiful!"

 After a pause, feeling a little concise, he quickly expanded: "You are really beautiful today!"

 Conan: “…”

 …You might as well imitate the person next to you and praise her for her brilliance.

 Tokyo’s melon-eating team, you look at me and I look at you, with mixed emotions.

 At this moment, a cold snort came from the door.

Sister Dahe walked in on high heels: "It's so shameful to be obsessed with your fiancée like this - before the wedding starts, you should just go back to your lounge and wait, don't embarrass yourself outside."
