Conan’s Corpse Picker

A few meters away.

Kenzaki Osamu turned his head in surprise when he heard the sound of Vodka chasing him.

The hallway door was pushed halfway open.

Vodka glanced over there, and he could tell at a glance that something was not right - the middle of the ground in that corridor seemed to be spattered with blood spots.

Vodka ran to Kenzaki Osamu's side and looked at the ground seriously while the others looked at him in surprise.

Then his eyes narrowed slightly: There is no mistake, this must be blood.

And if you look closely, there is more than a drop of blood.

It ticked from the bathroom door to the entrance hall outside.

…

The dark blood fell on the dark floor, which was very inconspicuous.

But Vodka often faces Gin's sharp gaze and is ordered to clean up the scene. He was very familiar with things like blood stains and could see them at a glance.

"..." Vodka stared at the blood spots, lost in thought.

He looked at Kenzaki Xiu, then back to the living room.

——The few people within sight were all uninjured, and naturally they would not shed so much blood.

And in tonight's party, the only two whose current conditions are unknown...are Miss Uzuo and Axun.

As for the bloodstains on the ground, which one of them belongs to... I can think of it with my toes and rule out Uzo.

That is to say...

"..." Miss Axun——! ! !

Vodka punched the wall.

Previously, in order to prevent Osamu Kenzaki and his agent from sneaking out and murdering Kaoru Kusano who was alone, he had been keeping a close eye on these two guys.

Later, seeing that neither of them made any move, Vodka thought that maybe he was overthinking the fact that Uzo was going to attack Miss Axun. Uzo's target tonight may actually be Kenzaki Osamu and his agent.

But now it seems...

Compared to watching two strong men kill each other, Uzo really prefers the aesthetic version of the plot of "the bride falls in a pool of blood on the day of engagement"...

"Something happened." Vodka took a deep breath and tried to suppress the curse words in his heart towards Uzo.

Then, with several other people looking at him in surprise, he pointed to the ground: "There is blood on the ground! It extends from the bathroom to the entrance. Go to the bathroom and check the situation!"

other people:"!"

Vodka's voice was quite loud. When several people in the living room heard his words, they looked at each other for a moment and ran over quickly.

——Although it is not clear what happened, "Mr. Yamada" is the assistant of a famous detective, and he can be considered a reliable detective after all.

He suddenly said "something happened" in a fierce tone, which was not low in credibility.

…

"...There is really blood." Hoshino Terumi ran to the corridor and knelt down.

She looked closer at the blood stains on the floor, and her lazy face turned solemn: "Go to the bathroom and take a look!"

Kenzaki Osamu was closest to the bathroom at this time.

He was startled for a moment, then hesitated and said: "Okay..." But after all, he wanted to break into the bathroom. Kenzaki Xiu looked at the door, always a little reluctant to do it.

Just as he was about to sound a warning, the manager rushed to the door and opened the bathroom door.

As the bathroom door opened, the mist caused by the hot water drifted out.

Through the mist, Kaoru Kusano could be seen dizzy in the bathtub with his eyes closed, his head and one arm leaning on the edge of the bathtub, and a pool of dazzling blood floating in the bathtub.

"..."

Vodka looked at this scene helplessly, with grief on his face:

This gathering of the Earth Lady Team turned out to be the last out-of-print event... No wonder, when Uzo persuaded him to come over, he said something like "You will regret it if you don't come."

At that time, Vodka thought it was just an ordinary threat.

...Who would have known that this was really just "regret" in the literal sense.

Vodka: "..."

He remembered the last fan gathering. As soon as Uzo came, the murderer tore the precious out-of-print poster into pieces.

Think about this party again. When Uzo came, the murderer stabbed the precious out-of-print idol.

"..." The eyes behind the vodka sunglasses couldn't help but reveal a little anger and sadness.

However, when his eyes fell on Kaoru Kusano's neck, Vodka was slightly startled and found that the blood flowing out did not seem to be steady... Miss Kaoru seemed to have a heartbeat? !

Thinking of this, Vodka stood up, ran to the bathtub, and checked his pulse.

A moment later, his voice of surprise echoed through the bathroom: "He's not dead yet!"

"...?"

Others were slightly startled when they heard this statement.

Although what he said was a good thing, for some reason, when I heard "Mr. Yamada" say this, I had a sense of déjà vu that "the villain checked the battlefield and found that someone was not dead", and even automatically hallucinated the next sentence. "One more shot!".

After blurting out Vodka, he also realized that his wording was a bit strange.

He cleared his throat and changed his words as if nothing had happened: "...There is still a chance for rescue, don't be stunned, call an ambulance quickly!"

"……okay."

While Kenzaki Osamu was dialing in a panic.

Vodka squatted next to the bathtub, rubbing his hands, intending to remove the person from the water and do some emergency treatment.

However, when Kaoru Kusano was attacked just now, he happened to be taking a bath. She has been fainting since then, that is to say, the clothes...

Vodka stretched out his hand halfway, thinking of this, he felt a little shy.

But when I shrink my hand, I feel very disadvantaged.

... After going back and forth for a moment, and just as he was about to fish the person out with pain and joy, a figure suddenly ran next to him - the agent who was stunned at the door suddenly rushed over. He reached into the bathtub and lifted Kaoru Kusano out of the water.

Vodka was caught off guard and raised his head: "!!!"... This, this is what he can watch without paying!

He instinctively turned his face away, shy, mixed with a little vigilance and fear about "There is no free lunch in the world" + "Uzo's unknown charging standard".

After a while, Vodka suddenly woke up:

...By the way, I am now a detective assistant. What we are doing is certainly a good thing that saves lives.

At this time, you should not stick to trivial matters... take a look and see what's going on? This is justice! It is to determine the location and bleeding of the wound. What does it have to do with Uzo!

Thinking of this, Vodka turned back and looked at Kaoru Kusano with an upright look.

A large bath towel comes into view.

——Kinoshita Yoko has been in contact with Jiang Xia a lot, and it is inevitable that she has seen some various murder cases. At this time, facing a vat of blood, she was much calmer than others.

So, when she saw someone taking Kaoru Kusano out of the water, Kinoshita Yoko reacted quickly and immediately pulled out a bath towel, opened it and covered Kaoru Kusano.

Vodka: "..."

He half-knelt on the ground for a long time, and punched the ground angrily.

Others heard the movement and glanced at him in surprise: As expected of Jiang Xia's assistant, he has a strong sense of justice.

...By the way, Jiang Xia!

Kinoshita Yoko came to her senses, took a deep breath, and took out her mobile phone: "I'll ask where Jiang Xia is... Terumi, remember to call the police!"
