Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 69 - The battle of wits of the Kudos



  Chapter 69 Kudo’s Battle of Wisdom and Bravery

  According to the unwritten rules of this world, whoever reasoned should prove it—the detectives here enjoy the privilege of wandering around the crime scene, so correspondingly, there are a lot of things to do.

   The detectives that the Megumi Police Department has encountered in the past have all done this.

   However, this time, when he adjusted the stopwatch and was about to time Jiang Xia, he heard Jiang Xia politely refuse: “It is not necessary.”

   Mumu Police Department stopped: “Huh?”

   Jiang Xia didn’t want to run, because this incident would not help solve the case.

He then glanced at the shikigami on the host’s lap, looked at the window again, and fast-forwarded skillfully: “The murderer doesn’t need to come to this room in person, he just needs to be in a room upstairs and lure the dead to come out. head, and then aim down and fire a shot.”

With that said, Jiang Xia pointed to the blood-splattered window and the bloodstains that were neatly broken at the upper window frame: “After shooting, throw the gun along the window, so that when the body falls, the window will naturally be closed. Then By leaving bullet marks in the room beforehand, you can create the illusion that the killer was standing in the room and shooting.”

   The host stood aside with an unpredictable expression on his face. He suddenly had hair behind him, suspecting that when he committed the crime, Jiang Xia actually followed behind him and witnessed everything.

   Jiang Xia spoke a little quickly, some people understood the process, some didn’t.

   But what to do next is still very clear.

   The Mumu Police Department digested it for a while, and called the police officers from the forensics department and asked them to check the gun smoke reaction at the corresponding windows in turn from this floor up.

   Soon, obvious gunpowder residues were detected on the seventh floor—that was where the actual shooting took place.

   And if I want to go from the studio on the 9th floor to the warehouse on the 7th floor, four minutes is more than enough.

   The host’s “alibi” is gone with a snap.

   He wanted to continue to argue, but at this point… he didn’t know what else to say.

   Jiang Xia almost stole his murder script and spread it out in front of everyone… The host didn’t expect this situation at all.

After   , things are simpler.

  Although the seventh floor is very close to the studio, 4 minutes is still not enough. If the host opened fire at that time, he would definitely be able to detect the reaction of gunpowder smoke, but if he made a disguise and the time was so urgent, his armor was difficult to hide, just look for it along the road, you can get a powerful evidence of.

   When the host was squatting in the corner with his head in his arms and planting mushrooms under the stares of a group of police officers, Takagi found the raincoat and gloves that the host was wearing when he shot in the fire box on the 8th floor.

   Next, as long as these physical evidences are identified, the murderer can be identified. However, judging from the host’s reaction, the result should be less suspenseful.

  Case once again one-click to jump to the finale.

  The police officers looked at Jiang Xia and became very kind. Although this little brother always encounters murder cases, he solves cases quickly. Who doesn’t like working hours shorter.

  The Mumu Police Department put his hands back comfortably, slapped his back, and asked his subordinates to bring the suspect and physical evidence back to the police station.

   For himself, he has to continue to deal with the matter that his old friend asked him to help investigate – the wife of a generation of Kudo’s brother is gone.

   Kudo Yukiko has only been missing for a few hours, and the evidence of the disappearance is just a phone call, which is not enough for filing a case.

   But Yusaku Kudo seems to take this matter seriously, so the Meguro Police Department plans to help him find it in private.

   However, before leaving the building of Nippon TV Station, the Mumu Police Department inadvertently glanced into the crowd and saw a familiar figure.

  —The woman was wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, covering her face, but the Muki police department took a closer look and always felt that the man looked a lot like Yukiko Kudo, and he immediately ran over.

   However, there were a lot of people crowding around to watch the excitement.

   When the Mumu police department arrived, the woman was gone.

   Mumu police department touched the back of his head suspiciously, just at this moment, a call came in.

He glanced at the caller ID and picked it up: “Hello? Kudo. Oh, I haven’t had time yet, but I just saw a person who looks a lot like your wife, but the scene was messy, and I couldn’t see it clearly. Huh? I’m in Japan now. Selling TV stations. There’s a murder here…”

   Jiang Xia, who was passing by, froze slightly when he heard the call.

   but calmed down quickly.

  … He just said hello to the neighbor aunt when he passed by, and then talked about his itinerary for today. He is not a trafficker, so there is no need to feel guilty.

   Jiang Xia took a few seconds to soothe his conscience and walked back to the backstage as if nothing happened.

  …

  Yoko Kinoshita also has an evening show. After cleaning up the mess here, she regretfully separated from Jiang Xia.

   Kudo Yukiko and Jiang Xia went downstairs with Jiang Xia. Halfway through, she remembered something and her eyes fluttered.

   When she reached the entrance of the TV station and saw two people, one big and one small, staring at her resentfully, Yukiko Kudo froze.

   She smiled awkwardly and patted Jiang Xia: “You go back first.”

   Jiang Xia responded, nodded to Kudo and his son, got a polite response, and left.

   Kudo Yukiko looked at the father and son who had been looking for her all afternoon, and pressed the brim of her hat with a guilty conscience.

Before   , Jiang Xia started recording the show, and she sat in the auditorium. After the two were separated for a while like this, Yukiko Kudo finally remembered her “real business”.

   But at that time, the show had already started recording, and she had promised to stay for Jiang Xia as a group of relatives and friends. At this time, she turned her head and left.

   So the guilty Yukiko had an idea and found a suitable excuse for herself.

   – According to the doctor, the members of the black organization gave Shinichi a stick on the back of his head as soon as they saw him.

But she and her husband couldn’t do this kind of cruelty to their son, and his son is so smart. If things go on like this, maybe Xinyi will find that these two “organization members” are not violent at all when facing the very tossing bear children, and thus cast doubt on their true identities.

   Once discovered by his son, their fake kidnapping became a farce, and he could not make his son realize the danger of the organization.

   So, it’s better to make a mistake and change the route – suddenly disappear.

   This is also an opportunity for my son to understand how dangerous his situation is. It just so happens that the father and son have solved a lot of cases, and their brains are bigger than the other…

  …

   Outside the Nikki TV building, Yukiko Kudo faced the other two Kudos, who were full of resentment, and bravely moved out of her pre-conceived remarks.

   Kudo Yuzuo “…” for a long time, and finally, he looked at his wife who was trying to get through the cuteness, sighed, and decided to cooperate with her temporarily, and then talk to her about the issue of losing contact without authorization.

   So Kudo Yusaku turned to Conan: “That’s right. Have you ever thought that if you continue to stay here, once discovered by that organization, the people around you will be life-threatening – just like your mother today.”

However, Conan was not persuaded in the slightest. He looked at Kudo Yukiko speechlessly: “You must have followed Jiang Xia first, and then you remembered that I was still thrown in the house, so I’m making up this excuse… Anyway, leave me alone, I’m not leaving here!”

  …

   Jiang Xia didn’t overhear the Kudo family’s argument, and returned home with his newly picked up shikigami.

   A few days later, after seeing Conan running out of Dr. A Li’s house again, Jiang Xia was completely relieved—the case collector was still there, so he no longer had to think about whether he should go to the United States to find people if he couldn’t find a ghost in the future.

   After the live broadcast of the incident, Jiang Xia’s reputation in the detective world increased again, because a genius photographer broadcasted the content of the case at that time without authorization.

  Because the process of solving the case was too smooth, some people suspected that it was a script written in advance, or some kind of “overtime special program”.

   However, with the news that the host was arrested the next day and the producer was killed, this kind of conjecture faded away completely – the host and producer are both celebrities, and it is not true that they are killed and arrested for the show.

   However, even though his reputation has increased, Jiang Xia still hasn’t received the mysterious requests from far away that he can pick up many souls after going to the appointment. He is still in the days of looking for cats and dogs to stare at Xiaosan.

   Jiang Xia once doubted whether the commission was attracted to Mouri Kogoro by Conan.

   However, using Yoko Kinoshita as an excuse, he sneaked to Mouri Kogoro’s detective agency to investigate a few times, but found that Mouri Kogoro did not receive any decent entrustment.

   It seems that it is not that the prestige is not enough, it is just that the time has not come…
