Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 251 Jiang Xia, come down

   In Tufang's perfect script, because Jiang Xia is far away from the balcony next door, it is impossible to judge whether Mrs. Tufang died or fainted. So at that time, what a few people should do is to rush to the "door of Okita's house" next to it and smash the door to let Okita open the door.

   Of course, in fact, there was no living person in the house opposite, so the door was destined to be knocked on.

   At this time, Hijikata Kozaburo could take the opportunity to spare others, and he would guard the door to prevent the "perpetrator" from taking the opportunity to escape.

   The way to send Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan away is very simple - let one of them go to the apartment manager to ask for the spare key of Okita's house, and the other go to the nearby police station to call the police. Next to Tufang's house, there is a police station. Without memorizing the independent telephone number of the police station, running over to ask someone like this is faster than calling 110, and you can explain the situation on the road.

   As for the extra child... When the child is in danger, he will definitely follow his acquaintances subconsciously, anyway, he will not stay with him to guard the door of "Okita's house".

In the    plan, when the three people in the way are gone, Hijikata Kosaburo can use a rope to lower the body from his balcony to the balcony of Okita's house. Then wipe off the ink in the elevator, replace the house number with a normal number, and at the same time move from the sixth floor to the fifth floor, and stay at the gate of Chongtian's house to complete this great move.

   Hijikata Kozaburo straightened out his script in his mind and felt that it was almost done.

The three students next to    are still looking at the scenery by the river.

   Hijikata Kozaburo glanced at them and secretly pressed the button in his hand.

   In the room of the "Okita" house next door, the phone rang suddenly.

  Maurilan vaguely heard the voice, she reminded Kozaburō Hijikata: "The phone is ringing."

   Hijikata Kozaburo smiled and waved his hand: "It's not my phone, it should be from Okita's. He lives next door."

   "That's it!" Mao Lilan's eyes lit up again, and looked at the next door with a little excitement - this place looks ordinary, but it turns out to be a star's balcony!

   After watching it for a second, a corpse fell out of the house and fell on the balcony.

  Maolilan with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "..."

  Maolilan, whose smile disappeared: "..."

  Maolilan who took out his phone and pressed "1": "!!!"

   At the same time, Hijikata Kozaburo also acted vigorously, and he shouted his wife's name: "Nagami!"

   At the same time, in order to be more realistic, he suddenly raised his legs and stepped over the balcony railing, making a gesture to climb to the next door.

  Mao Lilan was shocked, temporarily stopped calling the police, and pulled the person hard: "Don't be impulsive, this is the fifth floor!"

   "Why don't you make me impulsive?! That's my wife!" Hijikata Kozaburo snarled anxiously, clutching the railing, "Nagami! What's wrong with you, you..."

   His voice came to an abrupt end.

  —besides, the railing rattled.

   Hijikata Kozaburo turned his face suspiciously and saw a black leather boot stepping on it.

   He suddenly remembered something, and with a buzzing sound in his head, he raised his head abruptly, looked up along his legs, and saw Jiang Xia who was stepping on the railing.

   Jiang Xia bowed slightly, staring directly at the corpse on the opposite balcony.

   Hijikata Kosaburo: "..."

wait wait wait.

  ...It's not what he thought.

  ...this is the sixth floor! !

   Hijikata Kozaburo's expression changed suddenly, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Xia's ankle.

   However, before his palms were closed, Jiang Xia stepped on the edge of the balcony and lightly jumped to the railing of the opposite balcony, landing smoothly.

   Under the watchful eyes of Kozaburō Hijikata's heart arrest, he walked to the corpse, squatted down and probed the corpse's pulse and breath.

   Then stood up again and sighed softly: "It's been a while since he died, call the police."

   Hijikata Kozaburo stared at him, feeling his brain stopped working.

  ... The script clearly should be that after he was pulled, he immediately led these guests to the gate of "Okita"'s house and began to hammer the door. But now...

  ...how did things turn out like this?

   His plan, his layout...

   At this moment, the balcony door diagonally below was pulled open with a bang.

  Okita was wearing casual clothes, pulled down the earphones around his neck, and looked at the balcony of Hijikata Kozaburo's house in confusion.

   He saw the three people gathered beside the railing and asked, "I seemed to hear someone shouting just now? What happened?"

  Conan and Maurilan looked at him in shock, as if a question mark slowly rose above their heads.

  Mao Lilan said in a daze: "Mr. Okita? Don't you live in 502, which is opposite to Mr. Hijikata's house, why did you go to the fourth floor?"

   "Huh?" Okita was more confused than her, he patted the railing of his house, "What is the fourth floor, isn't this 502?"

  …

   As Conan poked his head out thoughtfully and began to count the floors one by one, Hijikata Kozaburo's eyes gradually darkened, and he felt that the world was leaving him.

   No, it shouldn't be like this.

  His exquisite technique, his drills and decorations several times a month, his carefully selected sloppy detectives...

  Mao Lilan blankly looked at Okita, then at the earthwork, still very confused, and finally had to look at Jiang Xia on the opposite balcony.

  Jiang Xia also looked thoughtful, and nodded lightly at her.

  Although Mao Lilan still couldn't figure out the situation, the action steps engraved in her DNA made her take out her phone the moment she met Jiang Xia's eyes, pressed 110 at the speed of light, and dialed it out.

   Hijikata Kosaburo has basically lost his ability to think now, his face is blank, and he only has a little survival instinct.

   He heard the short beep of the dial button, vaguely aware that Mao Lilan was calling the police, so he reached out to her and wanted to take her cell phone.

  Although Maorilan is relatively naive, she has experienced so many murders and watched so many deductions at the scene. The series of situations just now made her faintly feel that something was wrong.

   Especially when she remembered just now, when Jiang Xia wanted to jump to the opposite side, Hijikata Kozaburo reached out and grabbed Jiang Xia's leg.

  Although this can be explained barely, Hijikata Kozaburo was worried about the insecurity of the guests jumping around on the fifth floor and wanted to stop it.

   But in that case, it is obviously more dangerous to reach out and pull someone directly. If he destroys Jiang Xia's balance, Jiang Xia may fall directly.

  ——In short, Mo Lilan now feels that there is something wrong with Hijikata Kozaburo, and he is a little wary of him.

   At this time, seeing Kozaburō Hijikata suddenly stretched out his hand towards her, as if to **** the phone, she screamed in fear and kicked it out.

   Hijikata Kozaburo flew out in response, hitting the railing with a bang, and the two floors seemed to be shaken.

   Jiang Xia and Chongtian, who was downstairs focused on eating melons, were startled, and when they looked up, they saw that the railing had been slightly knocked out.

   Okita stared blankly at this scene.

   After a while, he stopped eating melons, left the balcony, and silently retreated to his safe living room.
