Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 889 Here we come

Conan who was forced to attend: “?!”

Conan stared at the corpse in the room just now, no matter how he looked at it, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

And now, the casual spoiler of the fake detective next to him, like a flash of electric light, suddenly illuminated those vague thoughts in his mind.

…

Conan quietly took away the remote control that the police department had placed on the table, and moved the monitoring forward a little.

After    had a target, and then looked closely, I immediately discovered the problem.

Conan turned to look at Chihiro Kojima.

Jiang Xia suddenly said these words, which seemed like a blow to Oshima Chihiro.

She stayed where she was for a while, with a blank face that was “pierced through”.

Conan looked at Jiang Xia again. . . I feel that when facing old clients, Jiang Xia’s words seem to be a little more euphemistic than when he solved cases in the past.

Since Jiang Xia is embarrassed to make it clear…

Conan, who hasn’t solved the case for a long time, cleared his throat and felt that he might be able to provide a little help to the confused Oshima Chihiro.

Conan put on a child’s voice, pointed to the surveillance screen on the TV, and suddenly asked, “Does the aunt who put on the mask really love beauty?”

“Yeah.” Between Jiang Xia and Conan’s words, Chihiro Ojima subconsciously chose a better answer, “My mother is more fashionable than a young adult girl, with dyed hair perm, contact lenses, thick-soled boots, I even tried tanning makeup, and none of them fell off.”

“So that’s how it is.” Conan pointed to the “President Oshima” who went out to meet the security guard in the surveillance camera, and said innocently, “No wonder this aunt is obviously wearing a mask and lipstick on her mouth, so it’s for beauty – said Get up, the color of her lipstick is so cool, right, it’s the same as the one on Sister Chihiro’s mouth!”

Chihiro Oshima: “!!”

She covered her mouth with a guilty conscience, realizing her mistake, her heartbeat suddenly increased.

“If you see the security guard, if it is President Erdao, then you are the only one who has time to commit the crime.” Jiang Xia persuaded politely, “And if it is you, then the scope of suspects is even wider.”

Chihiro Oshima: “…” Indeed…

She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said like a broken jar:

“Yes, the person who saw the security was indeed disguised by me. But I didn’t kill anyone! When I came, she was already dead.

“I wanted to call the police at the time, but my mother and I were always arguing, and I’ve seen a lot of information about the case, I know…” Speaking of which, Ojima Chihiro couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Xia secretly, “The police I would definitely be suspicious of the first person to report the crime, so I wanted to leave first, let others find out about the situation, and then call the police. Who knew that at that time, the alarm in the house was suddenly triggered, and I was startled and didn’t dare to leave. So In a hurry, I put on a bath towel and bathrobe, and covered my face with a mask, intending to sneak in first. After the security guard left, I hurriedly arranged the scene and left here quickly… But in short, I didn’t kill people! ”

Chihiro Oshima, who loves face, omitted a little detail.

——For example, before and after the incident, when she was observing the situation outside, she noticed Jiang Xia who happened to show up, so she put on her clothes and chased after him.

Originally, she wanted Jiang Xia to solve the case, find the real culprit, and cleanse herself.

But after chasing out the door, the night wind blew, and Chihiro Oshima gradually woke up. She suddenly thought that what she did just now was too much like the murderer was destroying the evidence. Even if Jiang Xia finds out the real culprit, she might think she is stupid… Thinking of this, Erdao Qianxun looked at Jiang Xia again, and suddenly she couldn’t speak.

And just when she was struggling, under the leadership of the enthusiastic little patrolman, the police found her and Jiang Xia.

…

“…” After listening to her explanation, the people in the room fell silent. Some are believed, some are dubious. There are others because this behavior is too indescribable, and they firmly believe that she is quibbling.

Jiang Xia thought for a while while Erdao Qianxun watched nervously: “Although it sounds a bit… unbelievable. But when people are nervous, it is indeed easy to do things that others can’t understand – mature Detectives and police shouldn’t let any assumptions go, and if what Ms. Kojima said is true, then Mr. Gou Izumi would have no alibi. Speaking of which…”

Jiang Xia glanced at the black cat who was already awake from a distance, and shrunk to the corner of the wall, just hiding at Quan Wuxiong’s feet.

quickly looked at Izumi Wuxiong: “Just now, when Miss Chihiro was suspected, why did you suddenly snicker happily?”

Izumi Goo was originally standing in the corner, eating melon happily with a low sense of presence.

When    was suddenly asked, his face flushed instantly, and he said in a panic, “I-I’m just a little happy–although it’s selfish to say that, but if Miss Kojima is the murderer, my suspicions will be cleared naturally.”

Jiang Xia: “But just now, you were not on the suspect list. And there is something you may not have noticed…”

He was halfway through reading his answer when the phone suddenly rang.

Jiang Xia was startled, then looked down at the caller ID.

Then I found out that this was a call from Yoko Kinoshita.

After a pause, there was also a call from the Mumu police department.

The two people connected their front and back feet, and then heard the same thing from the mobile phone.

——In the apartment building next to him, Kaoru Kusano had his throat cut.

The apartment was crowded. So after a short period of panic, a group of people has a clear division of labor, some call the police, some find a detective, and some call an ambulance.

The operator of the police station heard the location reported by the caller and remembered that there happened to be a case in this area, and the Mumu police department was dealing with it, so they immediately synchronized the situation, so that they could dispatch part of the police force to the apartment first, and then control the scene in time. , to protect the evidence.

…

Whether it is the detectives present or the Mumu police department, they are all skilled workers when faced with sudden cases.

Besides, this new case cannot be considered a “murder case” in the strict sense – the victim has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and may be rescued later. And I heard that there was an enthusiastic detective assistant at the scene. He had rich experience in dealing with trauma. That person helped Kusano Kaoru to do a simple rescue immediately.

So Jiang Xia and the Mumu Police Department were relatively peaceful, and the communication with the caller was also smooth.

After a while.

Jiang Xia hung up the phone under the curious gaze of a group of people.

Then he quickly finished what was interrupted just now, ready to deal with the next case, and stopped by to see vodka.

Jiang Xia looked at Quan Wuxiong and continued: “And just now, when I was looking for the cat, I found that there was a microstriped glitter sequin in the folds of your trousers – I didn’t pay much attention to it at first, thinking it was a plastic bag. Things like corners. But just now, Miss Kojima said that the deceased President Kojima always wore contact lenses, and there was only one contact lens on the body…”

Izumi Wuxiong’s expression changed suddenly when he heard these words.
