Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 661 One Hundred Ways to Make a Murder

  Conan always felt that there were some very crucial coincidences hidden in it.

  At present, combined with other factors, the causes and consequences of this murder can be roughly sorted out.

  —Shenbao Daxiong, a ghost in the hotel, learned that the hotel owner wanted to ask the detective to check the box, so for some reason, he became interested in the box and asked someone to pretend to be Jiang Xia to defraud the suitcase.

   However, Amuro Toru "just happened" to bring Jiang Xia here and took out the suitcase in advance.

   That night, Shenbao Nobita and the deceased entered Jiangxia's room one after another and killed each other for the suitcase. After that, Nobita Shenbao took the mobile phone from the deceased, which proved that the two were accomplices, in order to avoid the leakage of communication records.

   All in all, it looks like this is just a tragedy of a wicked fight.

   But a closer look reveals that there are some crucial coincidences hidden in it.

  …Why did the innkeeper just want to invite detectives when Jiang Xia and Toru Amuro came?

  ...Why is there only a camera in Jiangxia's house? Just now, Conan sneaked to a few nearby rooms at random to have a look, but he didn't find that other people had been manipulated in the room.

   In addition, there is Jiang Xia's changed clothes - when the fake "Jiang Xia" comes, you should wear a cap and a mask. It's normal for celebrities to cover their faces with these things. In this case, it would be difficult to distinguish the true and false of the two Jiang Xia if they were not acquaintances. The people in the hotel would probably think that the person in black is the real Jiangxia.

  Conan thought about it and found that the mixing of these elements can lead to countless unfavorable possibilities.

  For example, the fake "Jiang Xia" arrived a little earlier, took the box, and then threw the pot to Jiang Xia after doing the bad things;

Or after someone kills Jiang Xia, they use the existence of the fake "Jiang Xia" to obscure the time of Jiang Xia's death and create an alibi... Although Jiang Xia is not easy to subdue, if there is an inner ghost in the drinking water, it will be another matter. .

  …

   Of course, among the countless endings, the current situation is naturally included.

  Compared to the previous ones, when someone is behind the scenes, the current situation seems to be the result with the highest probability of achieving it.

So, just look at the current words: Jiang Xia's travel route was decided by An Shitou, and the clothes were also ordered by An Shitou. After discovering the camera, Jiang Xia was told to stay in his room quietly, and room 207 was vacated, 80% of the time. Amuro Toru…

  Conan touched his chin, lost in thought.

   Maybe my thinking has gone astray from the beginning. The purpose of the boss of Anshi is not to murder Jiang Xia, but to use Jiang Xia's reputation to appear here logically, and then use these conditions to skillfully kill the dead and get rid of himself?

  "..." Do you use various murders to achieve your true goals... If it is true, such means are really hard to prevent. And it's extremely difficult to decipher.

   Finding the physical evidence of the murder is already a troublesome part. And now, there is absolutely no evidence that Amuro broke the law or instigated it, everything is just speculation.

  I really hope this is just overthinking…

  Conan sighed in his heart. On the one hand, he expected this to be just a coincidence, but on the other hand, he had to plan for the worst - Amuro Toru manipulated the murder case. So as not to fall off the chain due to lack of preparation at a critical moment.

   After all, when faced with vicious gangsters, opportunities are often fleeting.

  …

   The others present did not have as many as Conan thought.

  Amuro Toru also felt that the murder case was solved very quickly and smoothly. But along the way, this level of coincidence has made it difficult for him to be alert.

   Not to mention that he himself dominates these coincidences, and the choices made by "self" are not easy to cause suspicion. Few people suddenly feel that the decisions they make on their own are actually controlled by others.

  … Of course, the most important thing is that Amuro Toru was not controlled in the first place, he was indeed acting according to his own will.

  …

   Yamamura Cao failed to reason about the murderer just now, and when he saw Jiang Xia again, he would inevitably feel a little guilty.

   At the same time, he slowly realized that this was a powerful detective, and he simply followed the police instinct and leaned over: "Speaking of which, what is in that box? It's worth their cannibalism."

   Although fake Jiangxia opened the box last night. But at that time he happened to have his back to the surveillance camera, covering the inside of the box.

  Relying only on the surveillance video sent by "passing eyes", the truth is not yet clear.

   Jiang Xia turned to look at Yamamura Cao. Although this confused policeman failed to squeeze out the boss's murderous aura, he didn't work hard enough. But on second thought, Yamamura Ao also suspected that he had the physique to summon a case, and he encountered a lot of serial murders.

   So he said in a friendly tone and patiently: "It's an old newspaper from September five years ago. Kumamoto Sports News, the title is "Akagi Maru Hatsukatsu", you can go to the local library to find it, there should be a backup there."

   "Quickly contact the people over there to find it and send a photocopy."

  Cao Yamamura turned his head when he heard the words, and sent a subordinate to look for it as if passing the microphone.

   Then he wondered, "Just put a newspaper?"

   "That's right." The innkeeper suddenly spoke when he heard this.

He was deeply impressed by the "unparalleled reasoning" of Yamamura Cao just now, and didn't want to experience it again, so he hurriedly interrupted: "I was there at the time, and after handing over the box to Mr. Jiang Xia, he never left my box until he opened it. Look, there is indeed only an old newspaper inside, which has not been unwrapped."

  ...The innkeeper originally thought that this confused policeman would have to fight again.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Yamamura Cao, he looked at him with condemnation: "Of course! How could a detective like Jiang Xia drop the contents of your box! Speaking of which, you have commissioned him to investigate, and you are still staring at the box the whole way... What about trust between people?!"

  "..." The innkeeper rolled up his sleeves unconsciously, "*&#￥％..."

   Jiang Xia glanced at him subconsciously, and almost at the same time, two transparent phantoms flashed across his eyes.

  —The mermaid and the spider lady jumped out indiscriminately and bounced at the innkeeper. When they came back, they brought with them an extremely meager but real murderous aura.

   This murderous aura, although the amount is very small, does not care about fullness at all. But it looked like a wispy veil.

  The two yokai and Akemi Miyano got together and began to mutter at it, like a few fashion designers surrounding a piece of rare fabric.

  Because there was too little murderous aura, and there were too many people around at this time, Jiang Xia couldn't reach out to push the ghosts away and rescue the murderous aura—from the perspective of a normal person, the way he interacted with the air was really strange.
