Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 542 Contain Jiangxia

   For a moment, Amuro Toru suddenly wanted to suspend the experiment, immediately returned to Tokyo, and then found a laboratory to lock up Jiang Xia so that he would not run around.

  ... But reason told him that there is no direct evidence to prove that there is such a thing as "event constitution" in the world.

   Even if there is, the holder of the event constitution is probably just unlucky.

  ——Like the peerless European emperor who buys a lottery ticket and always wins the first prize. The first prize exists objectively, and Ouhuang just has the characteristics of being able to draw it. In fact, even if the European Emperor does not buy lottery tickets, the first prize will be there and will not disappear.

  ... and so on, even if Jiang Xia is illegally locked up because of the "event constitution". That case has not decreased, it will still happen, it will just be encountered by other people.

   Compared to this, it is better to be met by Jiang Xia, at least Jiang Xia will not be frightened by corpses like innocent citizens. And Jiang Xia also seems to like this way of showing self-worth...

   Jiang Xia vaguely felt a chill.

   He patted off the snow on his thin shirt and walked into the study, which was a little warmer than the balcony, feeling a lot more comfortable.

   The others followed subconsciously.

   Detective Gun Tian glanced around, but didn't see much worth noting in the dark, so he put on gloves, found the switch in the dark, and turned on the light.

   As the room gets brighter, the horror atmosphere dissipates a little.

  Jiang Xia walked around and used movement to create heat, while taking a look at the doors and windows in the room:

   "The door is locked, and all the windows are locked except the floor-to-ceiling window where we came in just now."

  Amuro regained his senses, entered the study, and glanced at the study door.

  This door is a soundproof door, the door is wrapped with rubber, there is no gap after closing, it is impossible to use the door gap to create a secret room.

  ... Combined with the steep cliffs outside and the snow that nobody stepped on on both sides of the balcony, this is undoubtedly a murder case in a secret room... The bad premonition has come true.

   In the wind, someone beeped and pressed the phone button a few times.

   Then Suzuki Sonoko's trembling alarm sounded: "Hello? Well, there was a murder at Villa Dracula..."

  “…”

   Several unfamiliar people glanced at her in surprise: I didn't expect this little girl to recover quickly, and she even started to call the police in an orderly manner. This is really unbelievable...

  …

   However, although Suzuki Sonoko instinctively called the police, but the road was blocked by heavy snow at this time, and the police couldn't come at all.

  Suzuki Sonoko hung up the phone in disappointment, but she was not surprised, and she was even slightly used to it...

"No way, let's do an autopsy first." Gun Tian Yumei has not encountered as many murder cases as those high school detectives, but she has seen a lot of corpses, "Time is precious, if you wait until the snow melts and the roads are clear At that time, a lot of evidence will melt silently like snow.”

   said, she took out her mobile phone and took a few pictures of the cross and the corpse tied to it.

  Then adjusted the gloves and looked closer.

   "...Combining the timing of the deceased's entry into the study, the time of his death should be between 9 and 11 o'clock tonight." Gun Tian Yumei observed the thick wooden peg in the deceased's heart and looked at the bleeding.

   After a brief look of doubt, she began to look at other parts.

  In the end, Detective Guntian stopped at the back of the corpse's head: "Blunt damage... It seems that he was first attacked from the back, then tied to a cross, and finally nailed to his heart with wooden pegs."

   Jiang Xia has been observing Conan for a long time, and now he looks like a serious detective.

   He saw a heavy wooden sculpture about the length of the forearm lying on the ground: "This is stained with blood. It may be the weapon used by the murderer when he attacked Mr. Hucang."

   "Where?" Gunda Yumi turned around.

   Then she followed Jiang Xia's direction, took a closer look, and nodded: "The shape is roughly the same, it should be it."

   At the same time, she took a few more photos.

  Hamura Shuichi, who is engaged in vampire research, covered his mouth and seemed to be very sick of corpses and blood.

   But soon, he discovered the problem and pointed to the wooden pegs that were nailed to the corpse:

   "...This seems to be a collection in Mr. Torokura's collection room. It is said to be a prop used in the filming of "Bloody Feast". I remember that he often showed us this with this."

   He said this, and the other people suddenly thought of this wooden peg.

   In my impression, when they visited the collection room together, the dowels were still well placed there.

  ... That is to say, after that, someone went to the collection room first, took the wooden pegs, and then found a way to enter the study room and killed Daisuke Torakura.

   "...Go to the collection room, there may be traces of the murderer there."

   Everyone has reached this consensus.

  …

   is the same as the "Secret Room" study.

The windows in the    collection room were also locked firmly.

   pushed open the window, and there was a vast expanse of snow outside, without any footprints - this case, it is not like someone intruding from the outside, but more like someone in the villa committed an internal murder.

   Jiang Xia walked to the window and saw a small slender piece of wood falling on the ground.

   So he poked Amurotou next to him, pointed at the wood chip, and reminded: "Boss, take a picture."

   Amuro responded, took out the phone, and clicked it.

   and then startled.

etc?

  ...Why are you fighting again.

  "..." Forget it, Jiang Xia didn't have a mobile phone with him, so he couldn't take pictures. And it's to solve the case.

  Amuro's stagnant movements quickly resumed operation.

After taking a picture subconsciously, he took a few close-up photos and a distant view, and wrote down the specific appearance of the slender wood piece and where it fell. Rare, not to mention such an important place as the collection room.

   And the wood chips of this shape are not as easy to fall off as hair and thread ends. It exists in this scene where the murder weapon is stored, which may have some inevitable meaning.

  Amuro briefly forgot the "event constitution" that gave him a headache, and began to think about the case like a detective.

  …

   After checking the two key locations of the study and the collection room, everyone gathered together and began to try to find the murderer hidden inside.

   Gun Tian Yumei remembered Jiang Xia's reputation for solving cases quickly, and glanced at him.

   But he saw Jiang Xia holding the teacup and emptying it quietly, and he didn't seem to mean to speak.

   In addition to her doubts, she could only immerse herself in her own thoughts first:

   Judging from the current situation, before the murderer commits the murder, he must first get the wooden pegs from the collection room, and then go to kill.

   Killing Daisuke Torakura, tying him to a cross, driving a wooden peg into his heart, moving a projector so that a bleak halo shines on the corpse... it all takes time.

   And within the time frame that could be murdered, there were only two people who went to the direction of the collection room.
