Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1461 1461【Strange Stage】Ask for a monthly ticket (ˉˉ)

   "What's the matter?" The others have long been accustomed to the appearance of Conan rushing to the scene of the crime immediately.

   But this time, they found that things were a little different—after Conan rushed to the place, he didn't even look at the corpse, but looked elsewhere.

   This made everyone a little surprised, "What are you looking for?"

   Mao Lilan and Hui Yuanai were wandering in the store just now, and didn't see that scene.

  Jiang Xia and Dr. A Li dozed off on the bench at the door, and also failed to capture the falling process—at least on the surface.

  Only Conan, he was lying in front of the railing just now, looking at the crowd coming and going downstairs thinking about life. So I happened to see the scene where someone was almost smashed and then pulled away by another person.

  Conan: "..." And the person who pulled away the victim... turned out to be very similar to the young woman who sent him the passport last night!

  Once there is a beginning of doubt, other doubts will emerge one after another.

  —Conan recalled the scene just now, and suddenly found that even the man pulled away by the woman in black always gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He seemed to have seen that person somewhere.

  Conan: "…" So who are these people? What purpose do they have?

  Last night, the woman in black said "an actor who escaped from the stage", no matter how he heard it, there was a hint of malice, and it was impossible not to pay attention.

  But just now, she unexpectedly saved someone again.

  Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but be a bit puzzled—could it be that the man who was almost hit and obviously frightened just now was the target of the woman in black, and this was a threat against him?

   Or is there something else hidden?

   Conan has a question mark: Now, there are too few useful clues, so he can only carefully record the appearance of those two people.

   At this time, there are more and more onlookers, and the crowd is vast, and the key figures have already left secretly. He clenched his fists unwillingly, and finally, his eyes could only fall on the ground in front of him—the body of the person who fell to death.

   This is the only clue left.

  …

   Just as he was thinking, someone tugged on his collar.

   "?"

  Conan was taken aback and turned around.

   Behind him, Jiang Xia was looking up and pointing him in the direction.

   "People fell from there." Jiang Xia became more and more like a mature high school student detective, and made a suggestion that a high school student detective would say at this time, "Go up and have a look?"

  Conan tried his best to raise his head, and followed his pointer to look up the patio.

   I saw that the place on the fourth floor should have been a railing, but now it was just surrounded by some tarpaulins—the area seemed to be under renovation.

   "This kind of construction site should have warnings like 'Do not approach'. How could that person fall from it for no reason?"

  Conan felt something was wrong, and was about to communicate with Jiang Xia.

   However, when he looked up, Jiang Xia had already walked away. It seemed that his sentence "Go up and have a look" just now was just a polite question, not really asking for opinions.

   "..." Conan followed immediately, "Wait for me!"

  …

   A group of people quickly went up to the fourth floor.

  When we got to the place, we saw several security guards and policemen surrounding the construction site, blocking the crowd.

  Beside the falling point, a man in a gray suit knelt on the ground, holding a backpack dejectedly. He stared blankly at the gap ahead, as if he hadn't recovered yet. A policeman squatted beside him, frowning and whispering something.

   "These policemen look a little unfamiliar." Jiang Xia muttered to several people in the same company, "But after all, they are policemen in Tokyo. Maybe you can try your luck to brush your face and try to sneak into the scene legally."

  Conan nodded solemnly, deeply agreeing with this.

  The two people quickly stopped a police officer who looked easy to talk under the silent gaze of the other three: "What happened here?"

  The little policeman has only been here for a few minutes, and he has been asked this question countless times.

  He sighed heavily, and was about to continue fooling around with the official answer of "we are still investigating", but before he could speak, he turned his head and saw the face of the questioner clearly.

   "Jiang Xia?" The little policeman's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have heard some legends circulating among the Tokyo police, "Could it be possible that I could...cough, I mean, did I have the honor to watch the live broadcast of the case today?!"

He was excited for a while on his own, and soon recovered, scratched his head, and said to Jiang Xia: "But, alas, this time it should be just an ordinary accident. The culprit is already obvious. "

  Jiang Xia: "Accident?"

"Yeah." The little policeman nodded, pointing to the man in a gray suit kneeling on the ground next to him, "We asked a few nearby onlookers, and they saw the whole process of falling from the building—this man happened to the deceased. In the process, the deceased lost his balance, accidentally knocked open the blocking material next to the fence, and fell down the building."

  There was an enthusiastic onlooker next to him, and he didn't know when he came over: "That's right, that's what Mr. Police said—I saw everything."

  Jiang Xia felt familiar when he heard the voice.

  He took a closer look at the bloated woman, and asked in surprise, "Miss Yoko?"

   "!" The woman turned her back to the crowd, gesticulating vigorously to silence the crowd.

  Although she looks bigger than the normal Yoko Kinoshita, she is several sizes fatter, which makes people suspect that she is dazzled. But her eyes protruding from between the scarf and the brim of her hat, as well as the slender fingers protruding from her sleeves, all reveal her true identity.

  Jiang Xia: "..." Ms. Yoko's camouflage skills are really getting better and better... Could it be that the obese figure of Kudo Yukiko when she disguised herself as the woman in black "Fumyo Edogawa" last time gave her some inspiration?

  He couldn't help looking at Yoko Kinoshita's waist and stomach: I don't know how much body pad material she stuffed on her body in order to experience the feeling of a normal person shopping in a store.

  While thinking, Jiang Xia turned her head, looked at the increasingly dense crowd behind her, and realized that with Yoko Kinoshita's popularity, if she was recognized, she might indeed be in trouble.

  So he also lowered his voice cooperatively, leaned closer and asked again: "What happened just now?"

Yoko Kinoshita raised her hand and gestured in the corridor, indicating where she was just now, and whispered: "I just came out of the bathroom, a little thirsty, and wanted to buy a drink from a nearby vending machine. But before I approached, I Saw two men jostling around the machine, fighting for a backpack.

"I wanted to persuade them to fight, but when I saw them, I was a little scared, so I just yelled a few meters away. Who knew that after that, they fought harder, and soon fell into the construction together. area, and then the man fell."
