Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 375 (End) Strange charm added

Although there has never been an explicit stipulation, in this world, generally speaking, before the person who first pointed out the murderer has finished reasoning, no matter how many loopholes there are in his reasoning, others can only question and cannot interrupt and start a new paragraph. reasoning.

  Belmaud also had this default idea in mind.

   So after she cut off what Jiang Xia was about to blurt out, she thought that in a short time, Wu Zuo would have no chance to frame her.

  ——Fortunately, things happened suddenly, and Uzo didn't have time to make too careful preparations. In addition, she is not so easy to be arrested... Belmod smiled at Jiang Xia.

   Jiang Xia subconsciously smiled back, feeling even more puzzled.

   Didn't expect Belmode to have a hobby of solving cases... Or did she remember that Amuro Toru was a private detective, so she was playing this role professionally?

   Jiang Xia touched the murderous aura in his arms and the merman who refused to let go because of the murderous aura.

At present, he doesn't have to worry about raising his popularity. On the contrary, in order to make more prisoners dare to come to him as witnesses, he even has to control his reputation in solving the case... In this case, if Belmod wants to break it, let her break it. Anyway, today there are murderous spirits and shikigami, not a single wage earner.

   Mumu's police department didn't have too much doubt—Brother Jiang Xia solved the case so fast, and An Shitou, as the boss of his office, wouldn't be too bad if he thought about it.

   He approached the past skillfully and asked for details: "Brother Anshi, the murderer you said...?"

   "Amuro Toru" smiled mysteriously like a serious detective, turned and walked towards the warehouse.

   A group of people followed, and in the warehouse, Gomera actor Matsui Hideo was covering the wound on his leg, sitting on the ground, waiting for the stretcher to go upstairs.

   Belmod went straight to him.

   When Matsui Hideo noticed something was wrong and raised her head in a panic, she suddenly crouched down, raised her hand, and cut open the tight gauze on the wound with a knife that was hidden somewhere.

   At the same time, she tore a section of the cloth cut by the knife, revealing the blood-stained wound inside.

   This kind of behavior is really out of line in the eyes of the law-abiding police.

   The honest police officer Takagi was startled and ran forward to stop it.

   But suddenly seeing "Amuro Toru" raised his eyebrows clearly, he raised his hand and gestured: "This shape and angle are not like the knife edge caused by an attack during a sudden encounter, not to mention the location of the stab wound.

   "Compared to what Mr. Matsui said, "When he entered the warehouse, he saw Gomera with a knife and was stabbed by it in a panic." This is more like a wound he stabbed himself to get rid of suspicion."

  Belmode was talking, and suddenly there was a sense of being in cos Jiangxia or Kudo Shinichi.

   She looked at Jiang Xia subconsciously, and secretly tasted it for a moment, feeling very good.

The words behind    became smoother and smoother: "The truth should be that after Mr. Matsumoto came to the warehouse, he first poured the plasma from the studio on his leg, pretended to be injured, and then showed the children a way to the scene of the crime.

"When the kids leave, he just follows the warehouse down the hallway and runs to the studio before the short-legged kids and kills Kawai's producer in front of them - find that way. , maybe you can find a little splash of fake blood.

   "Afterwards, he created the illusion that 'Gomera' ran up to the rooftop but burned and fell from the building, and returned to the warehouse to actually stab himself, so that witnesses could think that he had been in the warehouse after being injured, and that the murderer was someone else."

   Speaking of this, Belmod suddenly thought of something and paused for a while.

  ...If this was Uzo's impromptu guidance, then where did the sword Matsui Hideo used to kill Kamei's producer and the sword used to stab his leg come from?

  Belmode wanted to stop and think.

   But at this time she is the center of reasoning, and everyone is staring at her, this is not a good time to think.

  Because of the coincidence of time and people, Belmode is currently convinced that "Uzo led the event".

   Under this premise, she relied on the reasoning instinct in her brain to fill in the loopholes in an instant with a principle like a suspicious neighbor stealing an axe.

   - Matsui Hideo may have had the idea of ​​killing Kamei's producer, but he has been hesitating and unable to make a decision - there are countless people who have already bought the killing tools, but have been unable to make up their minds to do it.

   If Matsui is also like this, then the fact that he hid a knife in the studio is very reasonable.

   As for the other knife…

   When she checked the wound just now, she always felt that the shape, length and depth of the wound did not match the sharp knife that fell downstairs with the monster suit.

   In addition, Matsui was bleeding a little, but he was not seriously injured... It seems that the wound that was not deep and not sharp enough was probably scratched by another knife of a smaller size.

  Thinking of this, Belmod nodded secretly: there is support before and after, the logic and motivation are complete, and the problem is not big.

   Next, as long as you find the second knife, everything should be clear.

  …

After   Belmaud straightened his thoughts, he left Hideo Matsui with a pale face and pulled the weapon case with many knife models beside him.

   She was immersed in her own thoughts, raised her head and smiled at the police officer in the forensic department next to her, and at the same time she tapped on the police officer's gloves: "This, please lend me a hand."

   The police officer was stunned by her touch: What's going on? The boss of this detective agency is obviously a man, but he somehow feels that every move is full of charm...

After   Bermaud finished his gloves, he lowered his head and looked at the knife box, trying to judge the approximate position of the knife with the naked eye to prevent it from being scratched later.

   looked at it for a few seconds, but still didn't get the gloves.

   She raised her face again in doubt and asked, "Huh? Can't you?"

   "Ah, no, but it's a bit dangerous, why don't I, I'll come find you?" The police officer of the forensics department managed to regain his senses and had a little professionalism.

  Bermode hesitated, then shook his head.

  …not everyone carries a pocket knife with them, or can find a knife easily.

She worried that if Matsui Hideo's props were really insufficient, Uzo might risk crossing the line in order to get rid of "Belmode", an organizational cadre who threatened him and Kudo Shinichi, and no longer fully consider hiding himself, and put his body on the line. handed over the knife to Matsui Hideo for use.

  ...If this is really the case, let her come to find a knife, and she will have a chance to erase the evidence that Uzzo has intervened.

  …

   However, the abacus was good, but the police officer of the forensic department felt his gloves and hesitated.

   Belmode thought this man was quite principled.

   She had the smiling face of "Amuro Toru", and was about to ask someone else.

   But at this time, the genuine Anshi who approached at some point had a sullen face, took out a pair of gloves from Jiang Xia's pocket, and threw them on her face.

  Bermode raised his hand to block and narrowly caught it.

   She snorted coldly, looked at Bourbon with frown, and was slightly surprised to find that Bourbon had a pair of gloves on her hands.

   Looking at Uzo next to him, who was busy retracting his everted pockets, Belmod's expression softened slightly, and he unfolded his gloves.

   She reached into the tool box and rummaged for a moment, then quickly pushed aside the other prop knives and found her target.

   It was a fruit knife with a plastic handle and an old casing.

   The silver-glowing blade was clearly wiped carefully, and the blood was not visible to the naked eye. But where the blade and the blade meet, as well as the simple pattern on the hilt, you can see a little bloodstain that is densely piled up.

  Bermode was slightly surprised, which was different from her worst idea - "Uzo's pocket knife".

  This should be the sword that Matsui Hideo got himself.

   Take a closer look at it, the more you see it, the more familiar it becomes. Soon, Belmode remembered - this is a fruit knife in the staff lounge, usually placed on the edge of the pool, and employees can use it at will.

This knife is small in size and dull in color. It is very suitable to hide in this knife box. Even if Hideo Matsui cannot take it out in time, it is difficult for people who see this knife to associate a small knife as a murder weapon. You might even think that someone ran out of knives and carelessly put them in the box.

   Matsui Hideo saw the fruit knife that he didn't have time to do much with, and heard "Amuro Toru" restore his key action just now, and leaned back in despair.

   He raised his hand to cover his face and smiled sarcastically: "Yes, I killed him."

  …

   After a deep confession, the police took Matsui Hideo away.

   When Matsui Hideo was lifted from the ground, Jiang Xia stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, poured a sentence of mass-produced chicken soup for the soul, and picked up the shikigami hanging on Matsui.

   During the process of going downstairs with the police, Jiang Xia flattened the shikigami with satisfaction, and then remembered his gloves.

   At this time, a group of people have come to the gate of the studio.

   Jiang Xia turned to look for "Anshito", and after a long search, he saw that there was only one genuine Anshito left at the scene.

  Belmode had left without knowing it.

   The murderous aura on Belmod's body that could be pierced on the surface has already been pierced by the ghosts just now, so at this time, there are no ghosts hanging on her body, and Jiang Xia doesn't know where she went.

   I only know that she is not near here, otherwise the ghosts can still detect her residual murderous aura... It is estimated that Belmod left in order to avoid contact with the police.

   Jiang Xia thought about Belmod, who had just been wiped out, and was not in a hurry to find her gloves. She decided to wait a few days before her murderous aura had grown back.

   His attention quickly shifted to other places too.

   - Kojima Motota suddenly crept up in front of him and looked at him dodgingly, not daring to look directly.

   The other two children were still tearing up at the wreckage of Gomera on the side, Conan was confirming some details of the reasoning with Hideo Matsui, and Toru Amuro was already in the police car, and it seemed that he was going to make the transcript.

   There was no one else around for a while.

   Jiang Xia looked down at Kojima Genta.

   He thought that the child was a little afraid of him, but he didn't expect Yuan Tai to suddenly become so brave, and something abnormal would have murderous aura...

   Jiangxia asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

  Yuan Tai took a deep breath, suddenly put his palms together, bowed to Jiang Xia and said, "I've already come out to play with you, please let me go!"

   Jiang Xia: "...?"

   What did he do to this onigiri kid? ...Although he did fantasize about some effective ways of using the Detective Boys, he probably didn't practice it in the end.

  ... Could it be that while sleepwalking one day, he went to Kojima Motota's house?

  No, he won't sleepwalk. If he does, the ghosts will tell him... Jiang Xia thought about it, and glanced at his ghosts a little guilty, trying to confirm.

   Then he got the feedback he wanted - he really doesn't have the habit of sleepwalking, and he has stayed in bed quietly for the past two weeks, and never went out to find innocent children.

   Jiang Xia suddenly became calm and asked Kojima Genta: "Why did you say that all of a sudden?"

   Kojima Motota looked at him timidly, and found that Jiang Xia was indeed puzzled, so he also became dazed.

   He scratched the back of his head and hesitantly whispered, "When I was passing through the bridge a few days ago, I heard strange footsteps following me behind me, and I was pushed when I got off the overpass..."

   Speaking of which, Kojima Yuan was too slow to find out that something was wrong

  ... If brother Jiang Xia wants to beat him, it seems that he doesn't need to be so troublesome?

   Jiang Xia glanced at Yuan Tai's silly face.

   In fact, when he heard Yuan Tai say that he was being followed, Jiang Xia realized that this simple and lovely elementary school student might have led to another case for him.

  Because in Jiangxia's spoiler library, he has similar memories - he remembers one time, when Kojima Moto was drowsy in the hair salon, there was a wanted criminal sitting next door.

   A few days later, Yuan Tai saw the wanted notice, recognized the man, and wanted to call the police, but she couldn't remember where she saw him.

   Not long after, another case happened near Yuan Tai's house. When he went to watch, he saw a yellow-haired man in the crowd.

   Yuanta vaguely remembered that when he saw the wanted criminal, this Huang Mao was also sitting next to him, so he felt that Brother Huang Mao must have seen the wanted criminal, so he pulled Huang Mao and wanted to provide information to the police with him.

   However, Huang Mao is actually the prisoner on the wanted list.

   He went to the barber shop that day just to change his look.

After    was recognized by Yuan Tai, the wanted criminal found an excuse to fool the police and left in a hurry.

After   , he began to look for opportunities to create accidents and wanted to kill Kojima Genta.

   Jiang Xia was thinking when, at this moment, the mermaid who was most sensitive to murderous aura suddenly dragged him and pointed to the distance.

  ...Murderous?

   Jiang Xia turned his face slightly, looked out of the corner of his eye, and glimpsed a murderous man in the shade of a tree across the street.

  The man was sneaky, and his yellow hair was reflected in the sunlight. I don't know if I have been following Kojima Genta, or if I passed by here on the way, I was attracted by the police car, and then I saw Genta.

   In short, although the murderous aura on this person is of average quality, the murderous aura that can be picked up easily on the way to get off work is not worth it...

   Thinking like this, Jiang Xia's eyes fell back on Kojima Motota: "Go back, don't worry about this anymore."

   "..." Kojima Yuanta hesitated.

   In fact, up to now, he didn't even want to know if it was Jiang Xia who was following him.

   But Jiang Xia said so, and Mrs. Yuan didn't dare to ask. In the end, he just nodded cowardly and walked home with Mitsuhiko and Ayumi.
