Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 355 Pisk: This Detective is My Achievement (Chapter Two in One)

   The purple commemorative handkerchief I just received was covered by Pisk over the muzzle of the gun to cover up the fire that might be generated at the moment of firing.

   Jiang Xia estimated the angle, and felt that the timing was perfect, and there was no need for an unknown famous photographer to appear.

   So before the reporter pressed the shutter, he dispersed the puppet, and his consciousness returned to the body that was standing next to the Mumu police department.

  Almost at the same time, a click of the shutter sounded, and a dazzling flash of flash burst out in the room.

   The host was stunned for a moment, and then quickly smiled: "It seems that everyone likes the collection of Director Jiujuan, but you can't take a slideshow with the flash on."

   There was a chorus of laughter from the crowd.

   Pisk's ears moved, and he sensed the movement in front of the banquet hall.

   But he was not a short distance away from there, and with the host's rounding up, Piske's thinking was also led astray. He thought the camera was looking at the wall in front of him, not his side, so he didn't take it to heart and continued to focus on the work in front of him.

  He aimed the muzzle at the chain of the heavy chandelier and pulled the trigger.

boom--

  Click——

   The sound of gunshots and the chain breaking sounded almost simultaneously.

   Pisk accomplished his mission, sneered silently, and hid the gun again.

  …

   In the darkness, Conan was anxiously rushing to Senator Tunkou based on the impression he had before turning off the lights. Suddenly, two strange noises were heard.

   He intuitively felt that something was wrong, and when he was thinking about what was going on, there was a loud crashing sound in front of him.

The crisp sound of broken glass, the twisting of metal, and the unpleasant muffled sound—combined with the location of the sound, Conan suddenly remembered the huge crystal hanging quietly at the top of the banquet hall. chandelier.

  The light fell off?

  ...It won't hit anyone.

  Other people in the banquet hall also panicked, especially those who were near the chandelier.

   They desperately wanted to get rid of this blindness and shouted in the direction of the staff: "Turn on the lights!"

Before the    light came on, a purple handkerchief fluttered down in midair, with a faint smell of gunpowder, covering Conan's head.

  Conan grabbed it suspiciously.

   At this time, as the staff pressed the light switch, the lights in all directions in the banquet hall suddenly turned on, and the suddenly brightened environment made Conan narrow his eyes.

   Before taking a closer look at the handkerchief, there was an exclamation from the side, followed by another.

  Looking at the sound, I saw the luxurious chandelier with a diameter of two or three meters fell to the ground, splashing glass fragments on the ground.

  Under the chandelier, there was a man who couldn't keep his eyes peeled - Councilman Tunkou was buried under the chandelier, with only one head exposed. His eyes were round, blood dripping from his mouth and nose, countless wounds were pierced by the diamond-shaped decoration on the chandelier on his back, and a pool of blood formed under him, growing bigger and bigger.

   Jiang Xia glanced from a distance and saw a shikigami floating out from under the chandelier, passing through the crowd with resentment, and hanging on Pisk's lap.

  ...The first ghost has landed.

   He calmly retracted his gaze, and then looked at the Muji Police Department next to him.

   The Mumu police department was also surprised. After recovering, he took out his ID and shouted, "I'm Mumu from the Metropolitan Police Department! Please stay where you are!"

   Several police officers who were in the crowd looking for suspicious people also reacted, and together with the staff, they quickly stepped forward and removed the chandelier, revealing the already deflated Congressman Tunkou.

   Officer Sato approached and crouched down, probed the Senator's neck, and whispered to his colleagues: "...I'm out of breath."

   The Mumu Police Department strode towards the corpse.

   After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, and turned around to find the little brother who was good at solving cases.

   But he saw Jiang Xia, like other people of unknown status, standing cautiously in the same place, watching the direction of the chandelier and Councillor Tunkou.

   Seeing that the Mumu police department was looking at him, Jiang Xia looked at him blankly at first, and then, as if he had just remembered that he was a detective, bypassed a few people and walked to the Mumu police department, intending to follow him to the scene of the crime.

  "..." The Mumu police department lowered his head and aimed at his slightly fluttering footsteps, and then thought about his reaction like he had been drinking too much, and raised his chubby hand to stop the person.

  ...Forget it, let's take a break. Don't fall asleep suddenly and fall on the glass ballast in the middle of checking the scene, so he has to call an ambulance for this unlawful high school student after dealing with the murder case.

  Tsk, when Jiang Xia wakes up, he will have to pick someone strict and bring him to the police station for ideological education.

   Thinking so, the eyes of the Meguro Police Department fell on Sato Miwako.

   Then he nodded secretly: Well, the candidate for ideological education must first eliminate himself, a subordinate who is accustomed to Jiang Xia's "sure next time" and even helps him cover up...

  …

   The scene was quite chaotic, but one thing was very consistent.

   All the people who were questioned by the police claimed that it was an accident, and demanded that the police immediately lift the blockade and let them go—celebrities did not want to get involved with the police.

   Jiang Xia has no interest in wrangling between ghostless adults.

   He casually glanced at Conan and Haibara Ai, and saw that Haibara Ai happened to be looking at him.

   Looking at each other, Haibara Ai's small face turned pale, she looked away suddenly, and pressed the hat on her head with a guilty conscience.

   Jiang Xia told her to stay at home, but she not only ran out the door, but also tried to stop the organization's mission, which was suspected to be related to Jiang Xia...

   Having never seen anyone directly before, Haibara Ai just felt entangled.

Looking at her now, her conscience throbbed, and she felt like the snake in the story that was picked up by the farmer after freezing and hid in her clothes, but after regaining her body temperature, she bit the farmer in turn... Even if she had difficulties, run It would be too much to dismantle Jiang Xia.

   She elbowed Conan, who was contemplating, and urged the very troublesome detective to leave together.

Now that the assassination has not been successfully stopped, Hai Yuanai feels that there is no need for him to stay here. If he drags it on, it will only further cause chaos for Jiang Xia. The member of the organization responsible for the assassination has now completed the task and must have more energy. Look around, in case it happens to be someone who has seen her...

  Conan did not notice the brief exchange between the two neighbors.

   He recovered from his thoughts, and followed Haibara Ai to the door of the banquet hall.

   Of course Conan didn't want to go home just now, but the clues he collected in the banquet hall just now gave him a new idea.

   He intends to go to the register at the door to check who has received a purple handkerchief - although there is no clear evidence, Conan feels that this will be a breakthrough.

Once you catch a member of the organization, you can ask him for news about the organization, and then find an opportunity to wipe out the group of black people, get APTX4869, and then research its antidote... Conan thinks of this, and his energy keeps +1 +1+1.

  …

  Because the murder just happened, the police blocked the lobby and prohibited the guests from leaving.

   But the two children who "wanted to go to the bathroom" were not within the scope of suspicion.

  Haihara Ai and Conan were released smoothly.

The moment the door was opened, the two of them and the police guarding the door were both shocked—outside the banquet hall, a large area of ​​reporters was blocked. As the door opened a crack, a flood of questions flooded and enter.

  People in the banquet hall were attracted by this movement, and they all frowned and looked at the door.

   Which also includes Pisk.

   His gaze swept across the reporter, and soon fell on the two children by the door, especially the little girl among them.

  ——The flashing lights outside the door fluctuated like waves, and the little girl seemed to be very afraid of the camera, and subconsciously turned sideways to avoid it, her face was facing the inside of the banquet hall, revealing most of her beautiful mixed-race face.

   That face made Pisk look at him for a moment, and suddenly he had a strong sense of sight.

   Looking at a few strands of hair that fell from the brim of the hat, that special color made a name suddenly pop up in his mind - Shiho Miyano.

   Pisker was acquainted with Miyano Shiho's parents in his early years. He had heard them mention the mysterious drug that was still under development, and he had also met Miyano Shiho when he was a child.

   Coupled with Gin's previous instructions to "catch Shirley", Pisk's breathing suddenly became heavy, realizing that he seemed to have found a huge credit.

  ——The value of capturing the defected Shirley and catching Shirley as an experimental product cannot be equated at all.

   He excitedly took out the laptop in his arms, quickly tapped the keyboard with his fingers, and entered "Sherry" in the organization's database.

   Press Enter, and a copy of Shirley's relevant information will be refreshed on the screen, with a clear ID photo in the upper right corner.

  Pisk looked at the photo, recalled the face of the little girl he had just glimpsed, and smiled a little.

   Good luck...

   He closed the computer and leaned quietly towards the door.

   Judging from the atmosphere in the banquet hall, the police couldn't stop this group of celebrities for too long, and he would soon find a chance to go out.

  ...If the celebrities are not strong enough, the big deal is that he loses his old face and falls to the ground to touch the porcelain, the police must not dare to forcibly detain an old man in his seventies.

   While Pisk was thinking about the steps to capture Shirley.

  In the corner of the banquet hall, a line of eyes silently followed his back, his eyes were warm and full of anticipation.

  …

Although there are many reporters at the door, the good thing is that they don't care about children - young children can't provide much useful information, and they may be attacked by public opinion if they force an interview.

  Conan and Haibara Ai were ignored by the media, and they were successfully squeezed out of the gap between people.

   After passing through the group of reporters that blocked the door, the two children breathed a sigh of relief.

   Haibara Ai was about to leave, but after taking two steps, she felt that no one was following.

   When I turned around, I found that Conan was lying on the registration table next to the banquet hall, raising his head and whispering to the staff.

  I don't even know what he said. When Haibara Ai walked back, she saw the staff brought up a roster, turned to one of the pages, and smiled gently at Conan:

"Several others have already left the arena early, and now only these seven are holding purple handkerchiefs—in fact, don't worry if they can't find the owner, if they find that the handkerchief is lost and want to ask for more, they will come to us actively. "

  Conan leaned over to look at him while thanking him.

   Soon, his eyes stopped somewhere and he was slightly startled.

  Haihara Ai followed along and saw Jiang Xia's name on the paper.

   Her fingers in her pocket trembled guiltily, forcing her voice to calm down: "Why are you checking this?"

  Conan was also surprised to see Jiang Xia's name at such a time, but he didn't think much about it for the time being, he just thought it was a coincidence.

   He carefully memorized the names of the seven people on this page, intending to tell Haibara Ai his reasoning.

   But before I could say it, I just heard the loud noise at the entrance of the banquet hall again, and suddenly there were countless overlapping voices of "Let's go!" "Come out!" and other excited whispers.

   This kind of commotion made Haibara Ai and Conan, and even the staff in front of the registration desk couldn't help but look over.

   As soon as he arrived, he saw that the blockade was lifted, and a group of people in suits and leather shoes rushed out of the door impatiently, wanting to leave the banquet hall where someone had just died.

  ——The police still failed to stop this group of powerful people for too long, so they could only let the celebrities leave first, planning to find clues in the future, and then look for someone through the register.

   The people pouring out of the banquet hall wanted to get out as soon as possible. The reporters were eager to stop a few people and ask for details.

   The two sides clashed, and the corridor instantly became extremely chaotic.

  Haihara Ai struggled to avoid a few people who almost stepped on her, and when she recovered, she had been separated from Conan, and there were no acquaintances around.

   She was struggling to walk to a place with few people next to her.

   However, at this moment, an old man who passed by behind bent down to catch her, picked her up and ran. At the same time, the man took out a handkerchief stained with anesthetics from his pocket and covered Haibara Ai's mouth and nose.

   Haibara Ai was startled and took a deep breath.

   then lost consciousness.

  Pisk seized the easy achievement and walked quickly into the bathroom.

   He changed into a cleaner's clothes, hid Huihara's mourning in a cardboard box, and pushed the cleaning cart quickly across the corridor to the wine cellar of the old building.

   This was originally the second set of plans prepared by the organization - if Councillor Tunkou did not stand under the chandelier as instructed, use this equipment to transport people away, and then slowly slaughter them.

   Unexpectedly, now it will come in handy in capturing Shirley.

  …

  The Beihu City Hotel just died. At this time, there are police officers at the exit and entrance. It is too risky to take an unconscious child out.

  Pisk then planned to put the person in the wine cellar for a while, and then find an opportunity to take the person away when the police relax.

   Entering the wine cellar, he threw the unconscious Haibara Ai on the ground, then took off the cleaner's clothes, opened the laptop, and just wanted to send a message to Gin, urging him to come.

   But at this moment, Pisk suddenly thought of something.

  ——When he went out just now, he saw the high school detective who was suspected of having an affair with Shirley. He was still standing in the corner of the banquet hall and didn't leave.

   There is so much chaos everywhere now, and it is rare to find such an opportunity. It is better to cheat and deal with it together - that young man looks like a good student who will not reject the old man, and he is also drunk. Although I don't know why Gin is so afraid of him, there is no harm in trying...
