Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 848 I heard you want to be the mastermind? Asking for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o

A gust of wind passed through the corridor, gently caressing Belmod's exposed skin.

She shuddered silently, looked down at the shirt that she had tied in a knot at the hem, exposing her belly button. She was silent for a moment, silently stretched out her hand to untie the knot, and at the same time gathered the coat that was hanging outside.

……a little cold.

…

the other side.

Conan asked Jiang Xia a few questions, but failed to get any useful information. He only saw Jiang Xia getting sleepier and sleepier.

Looking at my neighbor who stayed up too late and seemed to be fascinated by the beauty, he had no intention of reasoning...

Conan was surprised to find that he had another chance to solve the mystery before the reference book published the answer.

"..." I'm so lucky tonight... I'll call Hattori Heiji later.

Thinking of this, Conan didn't waste any more time.

His attention moved to Mouri Kogoro, wanting to ask him about the situation.

——Conan's thinking is the same as that of the police. They both feel that acquaintances need to be investigated first, especially Sayuri Shimamura who "forgot to close the window."

Under this premise, Kogoro Mouri, who was with Sayuri Shimamura throughout tonight, undoubtedly holds the most valuable clues.

…

Conan walked over and tugged on the hem of Mouri Kogoro's clothes: "Uncle, brother Jiang Xia said that he has some questions to ask you..."

Mouri Kogoro turned around when he heard the sound, looked at Conan, and then at Jiang Xia who was sitting on the sofa, and his eyes suddenly stopped.

After a while, Mouri Kogoro walked towards Jiangxia in confusion and muttered: "...Why did this kid fall asleep at the crime scene?"

Conan was startled, then turned around.

I saw Jiang Xia, who was just a little sleepy just now, had completely closed her eyes at some point, as peaceful as those students who stayed online all night and then lay down to catch up on their sleep in English class.

Conan: "..."

He also followed Mouri Kogoro to the sofa.

On the way, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look at the corridor.

I saw "Miss Takenaka" holding a cigarette in her mouth and looking at Jiang Xia through the rising smoke. Her eyes couldn't be called friendly, but they didn't have any murderous intent. They just seemed to have a bit of resentment, which was very complicated... Conan looked at it for a long time and couldn't analyze the more specific ingredients, but he felt that he could summarize the situation in one sentence.

——There is a problem, and it is a big problem.

He suddenly became more alert.

"..." Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xia rarely falls asleep at the crime scene - no matter from which point of view, Jiang Xia is definitely a responsible detective who loves his career. When he visited the scene of the crime, although he didn't talk much, he was always energetic and his eyes were brighter than usual...Only a few times, when Jiang Xia encountered incidents related to car accidents and explosions, Jiang Xia would Slow down progress in solving crimes. But at that time, he usually hangs up and leans on something absentmindedly, instead of sleeping like he does now.

Mouri Kogoro apparently thought the same thing.

As an adult, he is more mobile than Conan. Mouri Kogoro walked to the sofa and shook Jiang Xia: "Wake up, get up and solve the case."

After shaking for a long time, Jiang Xia reluctantly gave a little reaction.

But he only raised his eyelids, and fell asleep again before his eyes were fully opened.

...can't wake up.

Mouri Kogoro took back his hand and touched the back of his head in confusion: This junior is not normal today. Why does he sleep as if he has taken sleeping pills... Huh? !

Jiangxia can also be regarded as an acquaintance of Mouri Kogoro. When an acquaintance encounters an unexpected situation, Moori Kogoro concentrates his attention and awakens his reasoning ability a little.

At the same time, the keyword "sleeping pills" suddenly made him think of something.

He suddenly turned around and looked at Sayuri Shimamura, just in time to catch the other person's eyes that were evading in panic - Sayuri Shimamura seemed to be very concerned about the detectives' movements and had been looking here just now.

"..." Mouri Kogoro looked at her, thought about his experience tonight again, and gradually realized something.

His expression changed slightly and he fell into deep thought for a moment.

…

Shimamura Sayuri clasped her hands and stood in the room. She tried hard to maintain a sad expression, but her heart was extremely tense.

Just now, when she discovered that Jiang Xia suddenly fell asleep, Shimamura Sayuri was puzzled, and suddenly felt a sense of joy in her heart.

——Although I don’t know what happened, but since Jiang Xia suddenly slept like this, the terrible scenes I just thought about, such as "Jiang Xia suddenly came over and whispered to her, 'surrender yourself'", should not happen. …

Thinking of this, Sayuri Shimamura couldn't help raising her hands again and covering her face.

It looked like she was covering up the tears, but in fact, a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.

——The wandering robbery and murderer is very difficult to catch. Moreover, the window of their apartment was not closed at the time of the incident. It is possible that a novice robber had an impromptu idea and found his way in to kill Kazumi. This makes it harder for prisoners to target them.

The police will keep chasing the non-existent shadow, and she will happily live a life of innocence.

Sayuri Shimamura quickly adjusted her mood, straightened her expression, and put down her hand.

Then suddenly I felt the light dim.

Someone walked up to her.

She raised her head in surprise and found that it was Mouri Kogoro walking over.

When Sayuri Shimamura saw this man, she couldn't help but feel a little better - although this uncle and Jiang Xia are both detectives and are said to have a good relationship, their reasoning abilities are completely different... Get up, if Kogoro Mouri hadn't taken the initiative to come to her door and give her an alibi, things might not have been so smooth.

Thinking of this, Shimamura Sayuri was about to nod and say hello to the person who had unknowingly become her accomplice.

However, before she could continue, she saw clearly the complicated expression on Kogoro Mouri's face.

Immediately afterwards, the naive detective in her eyes suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice: "Miss Shimamura, please surrender."

"..."

Sayuri Shimamura's head buzzed.

Her first reaction was to turn to Jiang Xia and look at the sleeping young detective. A few words suddenly appeared in her mind - dream.

"..." No, no, how is it possible? This is too ridiculous.

She forced a smile and looked at Mouri Kogoro: "What are you talking about? Aren't we always together tonight? I don't have time to commit crimes at all..."

Mouri Kogoro sighed and whispered: "When I got off the bus from Rice Blossom Station, I had a piece of hard candy in my mouth. But I don't remember eating that candy before I fell asleep. And from Shibahama-cho to At Rice Krispies Station, when I slept with my mouth open, that wasn’t enough time for the sugar to melt to the point where it was when I got off the bus…”

He suddenly mentioned sugar, leaving Sayuri Shimamura confused for a moment.

But after hearing the next words, her expression suddenly changed.

Mouri Kogoro: "So I'm thinking that the time I took on that circular line may be longer than I thought. For example, I rode past the station and took an extra lap... If so, I was in this building The time I met you downstairs was no longer eight o'clock sharp, but nine o'clock when the crime occurred."
