Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 2008 2008 [Jiang Xia loves challenges]

The dead woman wore a beautiful earring on her ear, but this was obviously not the focus of Maya Hashimoto's observation - the focus was that her earlobes had turned black and blue, and if you looked closely, there seemed to be traces of needle **** in the middle. It looked like he had been poisoned.

In addition, there was a thin red mark on the woman's arm.

Jiang Xia obviously saw these situations: "It's not like committing suicide. Let's call the police to the conductor."

 …

　　　The Mumu Police Department has finished cleaning up the case in the movie theater and is planning to have a nice meal and drink after get off work to celebrate that they didn’t work overtime for too long today.

However, before I could even think about where to eat out in the evening, another case suddenly came to me.

 Mumu Police Department: “…”

Ten minutes later, the exhausted police department and his exhausted subordinates rushed to the tram in question.

"It's you again." Miwako Sato saw Jiang Xia and sighed, "After the movie ended, you didn't go home?"

Jiang Xia pointed to the two useful fake children next to her: "The children seemed to be frightened by the corpse, so I took them to go shopping elsewhere, hoping to cover up the bad memories with good memories."

Hearing this, Miwako Sato turned her head and glanced at Conan, who was observing the corpse intently, almost touching the corpse's face, and then at Ai Haibara, who was standing next to him, so bored that he covered his lips and yawned.

 Police Officer Sato: “…”

 Are they scared?

you sure?

But then I thought about it, maybe this was just a little trick by a scheming kid trying to trick high school students into going out together.

Officer Sato was considerate and did not expose it. She shook her head helplessly and quickly got into the next work.

 …

“We tried our best to sort out the names and addresses of the passengers who got on and off the bus.” Not long after, Officer Sato returned to Jiang Xia with the compiled information, “But…”

　　Mumu Police Department: “Ahem!”

  Miwako Sato: “…”

She silently held Jiang Xia, and the two of them leaned towards the Mumu Police Department, making it difficult to tell who she was reporting to. Then she continued what she had just said: "But the death time of the deceased was around 6:30 pm. It’s already 7:30 now. It’s really hard to sort out the passengers from an hour ago.”

 You don’t need to use your ID card to buy tickets for the subway here, and everyone comes and goes without leaving any trace. And if you have to rely on the station's monitoring to compare one by one...

　　　Mu Mu Police Department’s head swelled as it thought about this terrible workload. Compared to murder cases that occurred in public places, he still preferred cases where clear suspects could be found. Fortunately...

“Brother Jiang Xia.” Mumu Police Department stretched out his chubby hand, took Jiang Xia’s hand, and shook it solemnly, “This time I need your help.”

Hashimoto Maya saw his actions and looked over suspiciously. He couldn't help but began to wonder if the police department who was too enthusiastic about Jiang Xia was also one of his colleagues.

 …

The Mu Mu Police Department was unaware of the impending accusation. Although he had a younger brother to entrust him with, as the commander of the crime scene, he certainly couldn't just sit there and not solve the case, so he had to think hard.

"This circular line takes 1 hour and 10 minutes to run once. If the time of death is 6:30 in the evening, it means that the deceased was killed as soon as he got on the bus." Officer Sato nodded, glanced at the information, and continued. : "The cause of death was indeed poisoning. Preliminarily, it appears that a needle-like object stained with rapid-acting toxin pierced her ear, causing death. In addition, there were no signs of a fight on the deceased's body - it seemed that an acquaintance committed the crime."

Jiang Xia walked to the side and glanced at the satchel on the ground.

Sato Miwako immediately noticed his movement: "This is the bag that the deceased held on her lap before she fell to the ground. When she fell off the seat, the zipper of the bag was open, so some things fell to the ground."

"The wallet and the money in it are all still there." Jiang Xia sighed, "The murderer should have had a grudge against the deceased, and he didn't have much experience. He couldn't even think of a trick as simple as taking the money and pretending to be a robbery. It happened to be three of the deceased's colleagues. He is the first person to discover it, and he is at the scene. In this case, let’s start the investigation from the three of them.”

Hashimoto Maya heard this and glanced at him quietly, her heart thumping: Why did she feel that Jiang Xia was not satisfied with the murderer's omission?

"It seems that famous detectives also prefer the feeling of meeting opponents." Maya Hashimoto quickly found the answer to his doubts, "But that's right, high school students. Compared with those adult detectives who live for their salary, Jiang Xia Of course, I prefer challenges and puzzles... Well, no wonder he clearly thought I was suspicious, but still actively invited me to accompany him - it seems that my scumbag colleagues deliberately led Jiang Xia to doubt me, but they accidentally hit him... Let me get on the line with Jiang Xia smoothly."

Hashimoto Maya was muttering to himself alone.

　Besides, the "famous detective who likes challenges" is hard at work.

After receiving the news, the deceased’s female senior and the male colleague quickly entered the scene. The two of them took notes while helping to identify the deceased’s belongings.

Jiang Xia glanced at them: "I remember there was a younger lady traveling with you. Where did she go?"

"You mean Yukiko? She's in the next car." The male colleague's eyes fell on Jiang Xia, and then at Maya Hashimoto behind him, his eyes flickering, "She just saw a dead person and was very frightened, so the police Let’s come here first and then go find her after we finish the transcript.”

"That's it." After calling the police just now and waiting for the police to arrive, Jiang Xia had already listened to the three people describing the experience of discovering the body, and there was no need to watch them take notes.

So he went to the next car: "Then I'll go over and comfort her. I've seen a lot of corpses, so I'm more experienced and can help."

 Two social beasts: “…?” What is your experience?

 …

 The two carriages were next to each other, and it didn’t take long for Jiang Xia to arrive.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yukiko Mori sitting on the bench with a pale face.

Maya Hashimoto also followed. He looked at the woman who was also troubled by the murder and felt some sympathy: "Is everything okay?"

Yukiko Mori nodded, barely smiling: "It's okay, don't worry."

At this time, the door connecting the two carriages was not closed securely, and the noise from the murder scene next door was also heard.

The female senior looked at the clothes on the ground and was a little irritated: "How can I remember what Qingmei would carry with her? I'm not very familiar with her—compared to me, you might as well ask Zheng Er."

She suddenly turned to the male colleague beside her and said in a disdainful tone: "He often asks Qingmei out and gives her a lot of gifts. Maybe some of these relics are from him."

  “!”

 When the police heard the news, they were immediately suspicious: "Are you the boyfriend of the deceased?"
