Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 250 I heard that your detectives are armed with guns?

   Hijikata Kozaburo deliberately handed out business cards in the elevator, also to attract the attention of the three people, to prevent them from staring at the electronic screen when they were idle, and then found the traces he painted on it.

   After the earthwork was finished, the elevator had reached the sixth floor.

   Of course, in the eyes of Maorilan and Conan, this is now the 5th floor.

   Hijikata Kosaburo looked at Jiang Xia, who had a calm expression and seemed to know nothing about his tricks, and was extremely relieved.

   He went to the door and rang the doorbell. The beautiful wife quickly greeted me.

   The two performed a scene of harmony between husband and wife in front of the guests. After that, Mrs. Tufang left with a smile.

   Hijikata Kozaburo told Jiang Xia and the others to wait in the living room.

  There are no slippers in the house, only a doormat. Maurilan looked at Hijikata Kozaburo suspiciously, and the owner waved his hand: "This is the place I often use when I play with my friends. I often take action scenes. If you wear slippers or bare feet, many actions are easy to hurt. You can wipe them. Come in directly."

   This is a lie.

It was mainly Kosaburo Hijikata who thought that, later, these people would have to accompany him to stage a big play of "saving his wife". If they were asked to leave their shoes behind, the preparations for killing themselves would be too much in a pressing time. too much.

  After settling down the guests, Hijikata Kosaburo made an excuse to make tea for a few people and left the living room.

  Mao Lilan looked at the clean and tidy house, sitting in a restrained posture. But when I think that this is the star's home, I can't help but look around with shining eyes.

   Jiang Xia sat for a while, seeing that Hijikata Kosaburo still hadn't come back, so he took out his business card holder and sorted out the business cards inside calmly.

   This is what he found in the drawer of the detective office.

  Toru Amuro spends most of his time working everywhere. Occasionally, he will put on the guise of a "famous detective boss" to get in touch with some clients purposefully.

   During this period, Amuro will meet a lot of people, and naturally he will also receive a lot of business cards.

   A business card, which is equivalent to the face of the other party, is not easy to throw away directly, so after Amuroto receives the business card, he usually puts it in his bag first, and when he accumulates a lot, he throws it in the drawer of the detective office.

   Anyway, the boss doesn't seem to use these things. After Jiang Xia asked him, he would regularly put the business cards in the drawer into his business card holder.

   When you are free, use the fragmented time to filter, pick out business cards with familiar names, and keep them separately.

   There is a feeling of shopping for treasures in an old house full of clutter when you go back to your hometown.

   Make rational use of every inch of resources around you.

   In this way, Jiang Xia really managed to pick up two or three cases.

   And don't worry that this will attract the suspicion of Amuro Toru. Although this police undercover agent has a good memory, he definitely won't be able to remember any trivial matter like some of the comparisons. What's more, it's really normal for detectives to encounter murders, and normal people don't think about it at all.

   In the sound of paper rubbing, Mao Lilan and Conan looked at the furnishings in the room, turned their heads silently, and looked at Jiang Xia who was focusing on counting business cards.

  The two high school students were quite emotional. Sorting out their contacts started with taking business cards seriously. I didn’t expect that Jiang Xia, who didn’t seem to be keen on communication, would have to work **** this kind of thing. Is this the world of social people...

   Time flies by in the process of counting business cards.

   After about half an hour, Hijikata Kozaburō brought a tray, opened the door with his elbow, and walked into the living room.

"It's been a long wait." He put the teapot and cups in the tray on the table, poured tea for a few people in a rusty manner, and apologized, "In the past, all these things were done by my wife, and it took me a long time to find all the teapots and tea... Alas, housework looks simple, but when you do it, you realize that it is not so."

  Jiang Xia glanced at his leg, and took the teacup without saying anything.

   Hijikata Kozaburo waited for a few seconds, and when Jiang Xia refused to answer, he couldn't help but feel a little stiff.

  Fortunately, another person heard the main point of his words.

  Mao Lilan felt that the air was too quiet, so he casually found a topic to ease the atmosphere: "Your wife is out?"

   "Yeah." Hijikata Kozaburo looked at her with relief, this is really a good boy, "She went to a friend's house."

   madly implies that his wife is now at Okita's house, that is, the neighbor who greened him he met in the elevator just now.

  Mao Lilan didn't immediately understand the meaning of "friend", he just thought it was an ordinary friend.

   After drinking the tea, Hijikata Kozaburo put down the teacup, counted the time, and picked up a fake gun from the top of the TV.

   The excuse for this time he invited Jiang Xia to come over was that he was about to pick up a detective drama and wanted to ask Jiang Xia how to play a good detective.

   Hijikata Kozaburo handed the fake gun to Jiang Xia:

"This time I'm going to play a famous detective who is good at disguising. He's a guy who likes to play with guns, but I've never dealt with these before... This is a fake gun I bought at a lot of money. You have taught me a lot."

   Jiang Xia stared faintly at the gun: "..."

   Although he can use it, it still reminds him of some unpleasant experiences. Having said that, when the gun that the organization owes him will be given to him...

  Mao Lilan stared at the gun for a while: Jiang Xia is a serious detective, how could he come into contact with this kind of thing, how dangerous it is... Having said that, is the actor's uncle's second-year illness a little serious? These days, some people really think that a detective will carry a gun with him.

   She found Jiang Xia's eyes looking at the gun a little strange, thinking that Jiang Xia also thought of the same thing as her, but she didn't know how to speak to the client.

   So he took the initiative to help clear the siege: "Well, in fact, very few detectives have guns now..."

   Hijikata Kosaburo was startled: "I see. But in the script I received, the first scene is to confront the gangsters with guns by this river."

   When he mentioned "this river", he raised his finger and glanced at the large French windows and glass doors behind him. It leads to the balcony.

   Jiang Xia seemed to have some interest in this topic, he asked: "Is the river here?"

   Hijikata Kozaburo nodded, pushed open the glass door, and made a gesture of inviting them to the balcony.

  …

  The balcony is open and directly connected to the outside world. The wind blows with the breath of the river, and the view is wide.

   After a group of people came to the balcony, Hijikata Kozaburo pointed to the river bank below: "Look, it's there."

  This apartment is built by the river, and the river below is very wide.

  The river surface, plus the opposite river bank, from the balcony here, looking across the room, the house has become a small point like a model.

   And from the other side, of course, the same is true.

   This also greatly facilitates Hijikata Kozaburo's ongoing murder plan.

  ——Just now, when Jiang Xia and the others were waiting in the living room, Hijikata Kozaburo killed his wife next door, and then fixed the body in front of the door of the balcony next door.

   Now, they are watching the scenery from the balcony, accompanied by the corpse silently.

   Next, as soon as the timer is activated, the body falls backwards and falls on the balcony.

   In Hijikata Kozaburo's script, it is the sixth floor that is about to dump the body, which is his own property. But after his careful preparation, Jiang Xia and the others would definitely think that the corpse was poured out from the Okita's house.

   And because the corpse fell to the ground is a dynamic process, according to normal thinking, Mrs. Hijikata was pushed out of the balcony by the perpetrator, and the perpetrator was still in the room at this time.
