Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 117 The Law of Conservation of Mood

  The suicide scene in the bathroom of Qingdao's house, Mao Lilan had seen a year ago. But at that time, Jiang Xia was soaking beside the bathtub.

   She suddenly pushed Jiang Xia out just now, because she was worried that this similar situation would trigger some kind of self-destruction button in Jiang Xia's memory... But why did Conan also react the same as her?

  The only ones who saw Jiang Xia at that time were Shinichi and her, and the doctor. And Conan should be just an elementary school student who appeared in Rice Flower Town not long ago...

  Maolilan's eyes gradually became sharp.

   Jiang Xia looked at her expression and always felt that there should be a trace of murderous aura here, but unfortunately he couldn't find it.

  Conan was just a little floating just now, but his IQ is still online. He immediately realized his mistake.

   Conan's forehead slid a drop of cold sweat with a guilty conscience: "That, it's actually..." He originally wanted to throw the pot he knew too much on "Brother Shinichi".

   But before speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and secretly changed his words: "Actually, after the doctor drank too much, I asked..."

   If you tell others about your classmates’ privacy without authorization, you always feel like you will be hammered by Xiaolan. Xiaolan can't beat the old man, and if he throws the pot to Kudo Shinichi, then next time we meet, he may not be greeted by a long-awaited hug, but an iron fist of justice... That's not right, this inappropriate.

   Mao Lilan reluctantly believed this sentence after tasting it.

   In her opinion, the doctor is really not good at keeping secrets, and Conan is more observant and curious than ordinary children. Jiang Xia seems to seldom engage in sports other than beating criminals and racing, but such a person who doesn't like serious sports wears wrist guards all year round. If Conan feels strange, it does make sense to ask the doctor.

  Conan successfully weathered the storm.

   He quickly changed the subject: "Sister Xiaolan, call the police first. By the way, don't say suicide when reporting the case, I always feel that there are some places that are very inconsistent."

   When Mao Lilan took out his mobile phone, Jiang Xia also clicked on the screen of his mobile phone and glanced at the time. He compared the start time of the concert and felt that as long as the speed was fast enough, he should be able to catch up.

   Conan just started saying "suicide or homicide", Jiang Xia followed his words: "I don't think it's like suicide, it's more like Miss Qingdao killed her sister, and then disguised the scene as suicide.

"The Roman accent on her headband is a bit strange - the 'yo-' in Miss Yoko's name has a long sound, and it's also on the keychain, but not on the headband. Yoko's peripherals are all regular manufacturers, so it's not easy. There was such a mistake, so it might not be a missing print, but was covered by the blood splattered.

"Actually, when I entered the door just now, I saw a stain above the cat's eye on the door. I didn't think much about it at the time, I just thought that the owner of the house didn't pay much attention to hygiene... But now it seems that it was Miss Qingdao when she checked the cat's eye. Be careful to get the blood from the headband on the door, which happens to be in the same position."

  Jiang Xia raised his hand and gestured for the height, and asked Qingdao Quandai in the bathroom across a wall: "Did someone ring the doorbell when you were killing people, and you went to see it?"

  Qingdao Quandai: "..."

   Grabbing the deceased's severed wrist, Kogoro Mori, who was debating whether to commit suicide or homicide: "..."

  Standing at the door of the bathroom, I thought Jiang Xia couldn't reason today, and Conan, who was ready to go into battle to solve the puzzle in person: "..."

   The two people in the bathroom looked at each other and moved at the same time—Qingdao Quandai suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his forehead, desperately trying to take off the physical evidence, although she had absolutely no idea how to destroy it after taking it off.

   And Mouri Kogoro didn't give her a chance to think. He grabbed Qingdao Quandai and stopped her movement. He carefully checked the hairband and said in shock, "It really does."

  Conan looked at Jiang Xia who had finished his reasoning, looked at Mouri Kogoro who had finished catching people, and then looked at himself who had no time to do anything, and lonelyly touched the earplug box in his pocket.

   The sound-isolating earmuffs have actually arrived, but this time he met Jiang Xia by a complete accident, so Conan did not carry earmuffs with him.

   He silently took out the memo and added a message--even if Jiang Xia was not invited to go out with him in the future, he must carry sound-isolating earmuffs with him.

   After all, judging from what happened this time, no one knows whether Jiang Xia will suddenly appear, bring a murder case, and then finish reasoning the truth at the speed of reciting an outline...

  …

  Tonight, the only thing that comforted Conan was that Jiang Xia only broke the key evidence this time, leaving a little bit of other puzzles behind.

   called the police, and when the police came over, Conan walked around the house and filled in the other details.

There are a lot of cardboard boxes for packing in the living room, there are sticky tape marks on the edge of the coffee table, and there is a circle of tape with unknown meaning beside the bathroom door... This should be the excuse of Qingdao Quandai, who asked his sister to cut the tape to a suitable length and stick it on the door. On the table, in this way, my sister's fingerprints will be left on the tape. Qingdao Quandai uses these tapes to set up a "secret room", which looks like my sister has sealed herself in the bathroom.

  Also, the kind of tape that is put on falsely can't actually seal the door at all. Qingdao Quandai originally planned to twist the doorknob secretly when he knocked on the door, pretending that the door was sealed tightly before it was knocked open. This would have been an interesting trick to ponder for a while, but...

  Conan recalled the scene where Jiang Xia tentatively twisted the door just now and pushed the door open...

   Thinking about it, I feel desperate for the whole generation of Qingdao.

   suddenly met a man who was even more unlucky than him. Conan's hunched waist unwittingly straightened a little.

  …

  The Mumu Police Department arrived quickly.

   This time, before he even had time to say hello, he picked up a murderer with a dull face.

  The murderer seems to have experienced some kind of blow, asking what to say, and giving up thinking.

   Officer Sato finished taking notes and remembered Jiang Xia's past behavior, he couldn't help but secretly opened the corner of Qingdao Quandai's clothes to take a look, but found no scars on the murderer.

   She breathed a sigh of relief, and her gaze towards Jiang Xia became gratified again.

  Although the speed of solving the case was fast, when a lot of processes were completed, when Kogoro Mouri flew the car all the way to the concert venue, the event had come to an end.

  Conan and Mouri Kogoro are both frustrated.

   The former is because when he went to his home in Qingdao, he was thinking about "being carried by Mao Lilan and riding in the car", but in fact, there were not many people in the car when he returned, but there was one less. Jiang Xia sat in the passenger seat, the back row was empty, Conan not only failed to make his dream come true, but he was farther away from Mao Lilan...

  The reason for Kogoro Mori's frustration is much more simple - he missed most of the concert, and because he came too late, he missed the limited-edition gifts at the concert again.

   Jiang Xia's mentality is very peaceful. The number of his shikigami +1, and once again confirmed that Kogoro Mori also has the power of death.

   Seeing the uncle staring silently at the surrounding gifts in other people's hands, Jiang Xia approached and comforted him, saying that he would give him a set in a few days... This would make it a logical way to go to the gathering place of the gods of death.

   Mouri Kogoro was obviously very satisfied with this py transaction. His eyes lit up instantly and he was resurrected with blood.
