Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 292 The Disaster of the Brain Power Ceiling (Monthly Pass Plus)

  Jiang Xia entered the house, and a hot aroma rushed to his face. The hot pot on the table was roaring, and soft and tender tofu, mushrooms, beef and other ingredients were stewed in it.

   Jiang Xia sat down at the table and looked up at the table on the wall.

   It's almost 8pm.

   In the living room of Laine's house next to it, there is a clock, every hour on the hour, it will sound a low sound of time, and it can be vaguely heard around the courtyard wall.

  Thinking of this, and thinking of Kudo Yusaku who was circling outside, Jiang Xia leaned against the wall, facing the table, pretending to be distracted by the food.

   In fact, Miyano Akemi walked through the wall with Shikigami and built a puppet behind the house.

   A few seconds later, "Miss Anonymous", who was once loved by major newspapers, wore a long black dress, supported her wide-brimmed hat, and left silently along the courtyard wall.

  …

  The world-renowned mystery novelist, the non-staff advisor who is highly respected by the police, the world's brain power ceiling, and Yusaku Kudo are currently wrapped in a thick trench coat exclusive to the villain, exploring and walking around the house.

  As a smart person who has a lot of experience in "coaxing Kudo Yukiko", he knows that when he shows up now, he will only be disliked by Kudo Yukiko, and even greeted with a scolding.

   So you have to choose a handsome enough time to appear - Yukiko's temperament is sometimes like a child, and it is easily affected by various factors. In short, Yusaku Kudo felt that it was best to wait for the younger generation in the house to start solving the puzzles, and then he would stand out and comment, filling the part that the children could not solve, and be a hidden hero.

   Originally, Kudo Yusaku wanted to take his son by stealing his card and not tell him, as a stepping stone on the road to reconciliation-in the eyes of the innocent old father, this is what Conan should do.

   However, to Yusaku Kudo's surprise, Yukiko did not bring her son, but brought a neighbor's child who was also good at reasoning.

   This made Kudo Yusaku ponder.

   After pondering, he decided to follow the original plan, of course, to remove a few of the original mocking lines as appropriate...

   The premise of achieving this effect is to grasp as many clues as possible about "Uncle Yifang".

  Thinking of this, Kudo Yusaku dressed in a dashing windbreaker, turned into the Rinai house, and silently came out of the warehouse, intending to go in and rummage through the past letters of the Rinai house.

When    pushed open the warehouse door, the bell rang at eight o'clock in the evening.

  The creaking of the wooden door was masked by the bell, and at the same time, it also masked some other subtle movements.

   For example, the sound of bullying footsteps.

  ... Another example is the hand knife that comes from behind.

   Kudo Yusaku had just walked in the door when he suddenly realized that the shadow under his feet was wrong. He was about to turn his head, but the side of his neck suddenly hurt.

   Kudo Yusaku's eyes darkened, and he fell down.

   Anonymous who followed him supported him, dragged him into the warehouse, and closed the door with his backhand.

  The big and small Kudo are equally good at martial arts, but they also like to be a mysterious and handsome lone ranger...

   Jiang Xia unskilledly carried the big Kudo that he captured for the first time, and turned to look at the warehouse, where a lot of debris was piled up.

   He quickly found a suitable spot, dragged Kudo Yusaku behind the sundries and hid it, and took a shot of anesthesia. To prevent this wandering brain in charge of pushing things in a direction where it is difficult to pick up murderousness.

  For Jiang Xia, it’s all coming, it’s really unreasonable to run so far without picking up something to go home.

   And in the original plot line, Kudo Yusaku didn't do anything in the middle except running out to complete the information at the end, so he was stuffed into the warehouse, rounding up means nothing has changed. Jiang Xia's conscience was alive and kicking.

  It took a little while, after defeating Yusaku Kudo in physics, Jiang Xia disposed of the anesthesia needle, then dispersed the puppet, and his consciousness returned to his body.

   In the lively restaurant, he sat up straight, turned his head to look at the watch, then looked at the tableware and chopsticks placed in front of him, and praised slightly exaggeratedly: "It's very fragrant, I feel like I can eat it with the pot."

  Hiromi smiled and rolled her eyes with a useful smile. Although this is mainly due to the hot pot base, she made the ingredients. Rounding up is that her cooking skills have been praised by others.

Inner Guangmei put the chopsticks in Jiang Xia, turned the pot calmly, and turned the side with the most beef to Jiang Xia's eyes, then said modestly, "It's delicious just because you're hungry—our side is here. There are too many people, and dinner starts later than most people." After speaking, she glanced at her watch, "It's already eight o'clock."

   Kudo Yukiko followed and looked at his watch, nodding deeply in sympathy. It was indeed a bit late for dinner, and she was actually very hungry.

   Jiang Xia saw the direction of their gazes, took two pieces of fish tofu with confidence, and started to eat dinner.

   The reasoning experts in this world are very accurate in intuition, but at the same time there is a weakness that cannot be considered a weakness - too much emphasis on science and emphasis on alibi.

   When Jiang Xia knocked out Kudo Yusaku with his puppet just now, it was exactly the time when the bell rang at eight o'clock in the evening.

And now, Yukiko Kudo's memory about dinner time has also been strengthened. If Yusaku Kudo wakes up and intuitively suspects that it was Jiang Xia who knocked him out, then after asking Yukiko Kudo, he can only come up with "Jiangxia at eight o'clock" I've been sitting in a restaurant for a while now".

   In short, all bad things have nothing to do with Jiang Xia.

   After solving his worries, Jiang Xia started the wait-and-see mode while eating with confidence.

  …

  On the way to dinner, the stepmother Machiko, who was having a good time at the wedding banquet, called back and told Hiromi that she bought firewood yesterday, so she can boil bath water for everyone.

  In this era of bathtubs, the bathing equipment in the house is still a huge wooden bucket.

   After dinner, the water was almost boiled.

  The order of taking a bath should be paid attention to. Thirty years ago, Uncle Yifang was the first to take a bath every time, so now, the friend and uncle who pretended to be Yifang Lainei would also be the first to take a bath every night.

During the bathing time, he would leave the Brazilian guy in the hall, ostensibly to make the "bodyguards" stare at other family members and prevent someone from going to the bathhouse to plot against "Uncle Yifang", but in reality, it was to keep the Brazilian guy in a crowded area. place, so it is not easy to be plotted.

  …

  After dinner, the fake Uncle Yifang was on his way to take a bath, and Hiromi Renei received another call from his stepmother Machiko.

   There was a loud noise at the wedding banquet on the phone. The stepmother said that she would be home at 11 o'clock in the evening and hoped that Hiromi would help her keep the bath water warm until that time.

  Hiromi agreed and hung up the phone.

  …

   At the same time, in the woods next to the house.

   A luxury car parked quietly.

   In the car, the stepmother Machiko who was "attending the wedding banquet" put down her phone and tapped on the tape recorder.

  As the tape stopped running, the lively sound of the "Wedding Banquet" came to an abrupt end, and there was only the wind in the woods in the car.

  Machiko smiled coldly, put on a raincoat, picked up a kitchen knife, pushed the door and got out of the car, ready to kill "Uncle Yifang" who was taking a bath.
