Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 258 Three detectives left with two

   Jiang Xia glanced at the kettle, and let go of the fastest-flying foggy dog, letting it stare at the host.

  Although the host didn't pour potassium cyanide into his pot, he was after all a ruthless man who broke through the empty door and pushed the iron-headed kid downstairs. His aggression was not weak, and he had to watch it.

   And in this way, it is also convenient to find evidence later.

   Of course, when the host encounters difficulties, he can also give him a little help depending on the situation...

   Jiang Xia touched the water bottle that had been soaked in fish and had sleeping pills let go. He was very satisfied with the behavior of someone handing a pillow when he fell asleep.

   He is so skilled at pretending to sleep. It seems that tonight, as long as you sleep until Ma Lilan screams... ah, no, Ma Lilan didn't come. As long as he fell asleep and someone screamed downstairs, he sat up in shock and recited the script, everything would be fine.

   Thinking so, Jiang Xia turned over the upside-down water glass on the coffee table and poured half a glass of water into it. He dipped some water into the mouth of the glass, pretending that he drank the half of the glass that was missing.

   Then he took the pot and went into the bathroom, intending to pour out the water so that he would not forget about it later, so he picked it up and drank it.

   At this time, Haibara Ai had finished brushing her teeth and was carefully wiping the water off her face with a towel.

   When she saw Jiang Xia pouring water into the pool, she didn't think much about it. She only thought that the water was cold, and Jiang Xia wanted to change a new pot.

   Jiang Xia tilted the body of the pot and watched the water mixed with black-tech sleeping pills flow into the sewer. Then he rinsed the pot at will, refilled it with water and took it out.

   As soon as he got out of the bathroom, Jiang Xia was startled—in the living room, Conan had changed into dry clothes and walked out of the bedroom. At this time, he was standing beside the coffee table drinking water.

   Maybe he took a few sips of disinfectant water when he fell into the pool just now. He was thirsty now. When Jiang Xia looked over, the cup was empty.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

   He silently looked at the cup in Conan's hand, and then glanced at the empty table.

  … Well, yes, the half-cup he poured out just now.

  Conan finished half a glass of water, but he didn't drink enough. When he turned his head and saw Jiang Xia came out with the kettle, his eyes lit up: "Don't burn it yet, pour me some."

   As he said that, he greeted him with a cup. Halfway through, my feet suddenly started to float.

  Conan then realized that something was wrong, but it was too late, so he could only hold the cup solemnly and fell down.

  The cup also fell to the ground. It was of good quality, or it might have fallen too low and not broken, and Gululu rolled to the side.

   Hui Yuanai who came out behind Jiang Xia was startled and looked at Jiang Xia subconsciously.

  Jiang Xia squatted down, put the pot aside, tugged at Conan with mosquito-repellent incense eyes, and checked his breathing and pulse, feeling that his vital signs were quite stable.

   So he happily gave up the Ke Xue idea of ​​punching Conan's stomach and knocking out the water in his stomach - the pills thrown by the host shouldn't do much harm.

  Although the point that "the pills thrown into the pot are sleeping pills" is actually just Jiang Xia's speculation, but he thinks this speculation is more reliable.

  Because Jiang Xia remembered that in the original world line, one of the murder props of the murderer was an instant powerful sleeping pill.

And the host had no reason to poison them—the host's plan should be to get Jiangyuan Shinan drunk, put him in the night baron's clothes, and then throw him downstairs, pretending that Jiangyuan Shinan was the host People, the cause of death was "drinking, accidental slipping".

  Since he wants to fake an accident, the organizer will try his best to avoid mixing other murders, otherwise the police will be alerted.

   There is another very important point: in this world, there are almost no deadly poisons that are odorless and tasteless...

   Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at Conan's serene expression now. It became more and more certain that it was a sleeping pill, not a poison.

   After all, it has been a while since Conan drank water, and in this world, there are few killing poisons that work so slowly...

  Haihara Ai stuck his head out from behind Jiang Xia and looked at Conan who suddenly rushed into the street in confusion and confusion: "What's going on?"

   After a pause, her eyes moved to the cup that fell next to her.

   Jiang Xia didn't speak. He turned Conan, who was lying on the ground, to face up, grabbed his short arm and raised it in the air, and when he let go, Conan's arm fell, and the back of his hand hit him in the face. There was no stagnation on the way, nor did his expression change.

   seems to be quite dizzy, otherwise it would not be this unresponsive reaction.

   Jiang Xia said: "There may be sleeping pills in the water he just drank."

   said, Jiang Xia picked up Conan and threw it on the bed in the bedroom.

   Then take the door back to the living room.

   At this moment, Haibara Ai was already squatting on the ground hugging her knees, carefully poking at the glass.

   Jiang Xia also followed.

   Before he thought, since the host had given him the medicine thoughtfully, he would have a reason to pretend to be asleep. The only thing that is more worrying is that the other two detectives who participated in the mysterious journey of Izu - Conan and Amuro Toru.

   Unexpectedly, the unstable factor immediately disappeared.

   There is only one Amuroto left.

   And the detectives in this world, before the crime happened, were actually a little slow, and it was difficult for them to notice before the victim's blood was splattered on the spot...

   As he was thinking about it, a transparent shadow suddenly stuck his head out on the wall.

   Jiang Xia thought for a while, looked up, and saw Wutiangou, who had just been sent out by him, flapping his wings anxiously, struggling to pass through the wall, then making a sudden stop, rolling over and braking in front of Jiang Xia.

   Jiang Xia looked up at it silently, estimated the frequency of its wings, and had a bad premonition.

  The foggy tengu really brings bad news.

Just now, the host slipped into Jiang Xia's room, put sleeping pills in the kettle, and quickly returned to his own room, changed out of Baron Night's clothes, and went back to the hall, trying to get himself an alibi - deliberately changed Clothes sneaked into Jiang Xia's room because he could pretend that this was just a small game by the host in case he was caught on the spot because of his incompetence.

   At the same time, in order to confirm who is in the hands of the virus "Dark Night Baron", he entered the rooms of the participants one by one while others were out, trying to find out the identity of the organizer and the virus of the organization.

   The host had just arrived in the lobby for half a minute when Toru Amuro happened to enter his room.

   Soon after, Amuro Toru was on the way to rummaging through the information, and found the Night Baron's clothes that Satoshi Kamijou had not hidden, as well as fishing line, tape, and some bulk drugs without the manufacturer's name.

   In addition, there is a group photo of two men who look like they are very close.

   One of them is the young version of the host, and the other has a blood-red "X" painted on his face. Judging from his posture and those uncomfortable eyes, it looks a lot like another participant in the Izu Mystery Journey, Toshio Gangwon. Of course, it is also a young version.
