Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1785 1784【Many enemies】

  Then the middle-aged man briskly chased Miwako Sato and President Ishimoto away.

Conan looked at his back, and couldn't help but said to Jiang Xia: "Don't they think that the hacker died too coincidentally? I think the murderer came after the congressman, and there must be more than one murderer. The hacker must have died There was an accomplice—the accomplice who was hiding behind the scenes planned the assassination of the congressman, and then killed the hacker, trying to close the case and clean himself up."

  The job of bodyguard seems to be over. Jiang Xia was a little disappointed.

   But it was useless to stay in this empty place, so he had to take Conan and leave together. By the way, he comforted the detective who was full of fighting spirit: "Evidence, we need to find evidence."

  Conan was still contemplating, but suddenly his feet left the ground, and he regained his senses.

  He remembered what the female secretary called "children" just now, and immediately protested like a high school student: "I'll go by myself!"

   While struggling, the two just turned the corner and almost collided with someone.

  Jiang Xia was "almost", but Conan really hit him with half of his body, and the one who was hit made a half-circle in the air.

He adjusted his glasses in a dizzy manner, and glanced back at the person who walked like them without looking at the road, and then suddenly froze: this person was dark-skinned, tall and tall, with a low ponytail on the back of his head—this was exactly the case. After the post, in the game hall next to the banquet hall, an unknown man who secretly met the female secretary of President Ishimoto!

   "It's the man in the game hall last night." Conan reminded Jiang Xia in a low voice, and suddenly realized something, "Did he go to President Shiben's office?!"

  Jiang Xia silently nodded, without him saying anything, turned around and followed silently.

  The two detectives followed closely, and it was indeed difficult to find the person being followed.

  As they expected, the braid stopped at the door of Shiben Society's office.

  He carefully turned his head and looked around, but saw no one, so he quickly entered the room and began to rummage in the office.

  Jiang Xia came out from the corner where he was hiding, took Conan with him, and quietly looked in through the transom.

   Not long after, the little braid found a palm-sized square box from the closet. With a low laugh, he put the box in his pocket, turned and went out.

  Before he went out, Jiang Xia hid again.

Looking at the black-skinned pigtail striding away from the corridor, Jiang Xia fell into deep thought: If I record the scene just now and send it to the police, I wonder if I can squeeze out some murderous energy... Sigh, but there are many detectives in Tokyo, who rummaged through the scene at the scene of the crime. There are people every day, and the police may not mind that much.

   Seeing him thinking, Conan knew that Jiang Xia must have guessed something, so he confidently extended his hand and clapped him: "It seems that we have thought of the same thing—this troublesome case is only one piece away!"

  Jiang Xia came back to his senses: "Yeah." That's right, the shikigami hanging on the killer's leg was just about to be pulled off.

   The two looked at each other, and went to the abandoned building with great enthusiasm. That is the crime scene where the hacker crashed and died.

  …

   "The guards are so tight." Conan jumped out of the taxi, looking furtively at the building in front of him and the police stationed nearby.

  He began to habitually think about which angle he should sneak in from. Before he could think about it, Jiang Xia had already passed him normally.

   Then Conan saw the high school student detective whispering a few words to the police next to the cordon. Soon, the policeman happily welcomed Jiang Xia in, his face was filled with joy that "there will be no need to continue to stand guard soon".

  Conan: "..." Damn it, the world of adults is so beautiful. If I was still the original Kudo Shinichi...

   "Let's go?" Jiang Xia suddenly stopped and looked back at him.

   "Come here." Conan wiped his face sadly, and trotted to follow. After all, if the distance between him and Jiang Xia is too long, he won't be able to follow the crime scene together.

  …

   Climbed a few floors along the steps, and not long after, the two arrived at the place where the hacker fell to his death.

  The concrete floor is pasted with marking lines, and the white lines symbolize death. Thinking about the corpses that have just been transported from here, for a moment, it seems that even the surrounding temperature has cooled a few degrees.

  However, one of the two detectives enjoys the eerie atmosphere that seems to be haunted by ghosts all the time, while the other only thinks that the building with the back of the sun is cool.

  They searched around the corpse, and then walked up a section. Conan rolled up his sleeves and conscientiously searched the dusty corners.

  After flipping through a box, Conan turned around and found Jiang Xia staring at a hole in the corner.

  The hole opened on the ground in the corner, lined with dusty sundries and dust, very inconspicuous.

  But Conan seems to have a premonition.

  He ran over quickly, looked inside, his eyes lit up, and he planned to reach into the hole.

  Jiang Xia looked at the hole that had accumulated dust and muddy water for many years, and remembered that he was going to ride in the same car with Conan later, so he stopped him.

  He said sternly: "Let's hand over this physical evidence to the police for extraction. In such a big case, if we leave our traces, the police will find it troublesome."

   "Okay." Conan sighed for the consciousness of this little detective.

   This is indeed a normal practice, but it still makes him feel uncomfortable not being able to solve the puzzle by himself, just like seeing a red flashing light point in the game, but he has to resist not being able to click it. Conan had to lie on the edge of the hole and watch helplessly.

  Jiang Xia was wary of him reaching out, and at the same time called the Mumu Police Department.

   "Brother Jiang Xia." The voice of Mumu Police Department sounded less cheerful than before.

  So Jiang Xia asked casually: "What's wrong?"

The Megure police department sighed and poured bitter water: "At first I thought this case could be closed, but who knew that there was a new discovery in the forensic department—they said that in Hiraoka Shiro, that is, the Another type of footprint was detected at the place where the 'Piranha' died.

   "We found the homeless man who found the body and compared it, and it was not left by him, so we suspect that the hacker actually has an accomplice. The hacker may have been silenced by his accomplice.

"Hey, President Ishimoto also said that he didn't mess with anyone, let alone the gang of guys who went to assassinate him yesterday, and even the shooter was a team of two! Now we are ordered to find out the hacker's accomplice within two days. For two days, those people above really dare to speak..."

   "So that's how it is." Jiang Xia comforted the police department who thought he could get off work immediately but was forced to come back to work overtime, "It doesn't matter, two days is enough. This is how the case is solved, and we are very close to the truth."
