Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 596 Don't hold other people's heads

   In short, I hope the acting skills of the famous detectives pass the test.

  ...It would be better if there were some special flavors of murderousness. For example, White Horse Detective looks like he has a lot of potential. After all, this is Kidd's lifelong enemy, and he has even speculated that Kidd is Kuroba Kuito...

  Across the table, Tan Ma suddenly felt a chill behind his back, he raised his head sharply, and together with his eagle, looked at the young man in black opposite.

   Seeing that the other party peeked and was caught, he didn't panic, just looked at him for a moment and showed a meaningful smile.

  The mermaid noticed the interaction between the two sides, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly became bigger, and rushed towards the eagle in the hands of the white horse. She is the only big ghost among the ghosts that can swell into a normal human size.

  The naive eagle didn't expect the strange "similar" around him to suddenly become so huge, his whole body froze, and his hair exploded into a ball, as if he was frightened by Jiang Xia's smile.

  The merman looked at the hairball in front of him and was satisfied.

   She reached out and touched the eagle's head, and then changed back to the size of a mini pillow, and slowly floated back to Jiang Xia's side.

   Jiang Xia: "..." Don't use murderous intent on strange things!

  ...but the effect is not bad.

   So he pretended not to see anything, looked away, and drank tea gracefully.

  Other detectives were not familiar with White Horse Detective's Eagle, and they were always surprised when they saw it, and they didn't realize anything was wrong.

   Their attention is more on the host.

   Regarding the organizer's proposal to "play a massacre game where the winner lives to the end", no one planned to cooperate with him.

  Although the "host" is a plastic mannequin, considering the camera is installed in the restaurant, the real host may be hiding behind the camera and peeping and can hear them.

   So the detectives still said what they wanted to say to the plastic shell.

   Gun Tian Yumei leaned back in the chair and smiled: "Are you kidding me, the premise of killing each other is to 'each other' - we don't have time to play this kind of boring survival game with you."

   The plastic "host" snorted as if he had guessed their attitude:

"None of you want to quit this survival game, because you have already been confused by the **** atmosphere left here and can't get out of it - come on, this game, when one of you makes the first scream ,begin.

"Also, listen carefully - the person who finds the treasure, immediately come to the room on the 4th floor of the central tower, and enter the location of the treasure into the computer. At that time, I will naturally follow the agreement and leave half of the treasure and leave here. way to tell you."

  The cowboy detective's voice was colder than it was: "No more. I'm not interested in scavenger hunts." Besides, you blew up my car... He looked at the flames and shadows outside the window, angered, and strode to the door of the restaurant.

   Chikan Koyo looked at the friend and reminded: "According to what the organizer said, the bridge and the road have been blown up."

  The cowboy detective has long thought of this: "This is a deep mountain, not an isolated island. He exaggerated his description. As long as we want to go, we can definitely go out. It's a big deal to survive in the wild for a few days..."

  Bangdang——

Next to   , there was a sudden sound of the stool falling to the ground.

   Cowboy Detective was startled, and followed the reputation with the others.

   I saw the food detective with a ghastly face and stood up with his neck pinched. He stumbled and stumbled, opening his mouth wide, as if trying to say something, but in the end he couldn't spit out the words and fell to the ground.

   The place where the food detective fell to the ground is not far from Jiangxia.

   In the silence, Jiang Xia walked around Qianjian's mother-in-law's seat and walked up to him, looking down at him in meaning.

   Then calmly said: "There is no help."

Opposite to   , White Horse Tan heard this sentence, clicked on his pocket watch instinctively, and whispered the time: "Death time 22:34:51..."

   After he finished speaking, he remembered Watson's attitude towards the young man in black.

   Then sighed: "It is indeed dead."

   Gun Tian Yumei also approached and probed: "There is no sign of blue or purple lips at present, and... there is a bitter almond smell."

   Jiang Xia: "..." It's you again, potassium cyanide.

  …

   Considering the attack time of potassium cyanide, a group of detectives ruled out the problem of dinner and looked at the after-dinner black tea on the table.

  Senjian Koyo took out a patina coin and dipped it in the food detective's tea.

   Seeing that the coin was still the original dull color, she shook her head: "There is no redox reaction, so it shouldn't be a problem with the tea."

   The host's voice came just right:

   "Okay, the game has officially started. Even if it's not for the treasure, you should concentrate on the game for your own life. In addition, I have placed a lot of poisonous snakes around here, you better not pick it easily...%￥&*"

The sound behind    became a little muffled.

   The detectives who observed the corpse were startled, and followed the reputation to the plastic organizer.

   I saw the young man who called himself Kurosawa, and I didn't know when he walked up to the host. He observed for a moment, stretched out his hand, and naturally pulled the "host"'s head off.

  Detectives: "..."

   They were a little stunned by this sudden behavior.

   Immediately afterwards, something was wrong—as the head was pulled out, two wires were exposed under the head of the host, where two machines the size of a palm were connected.

   Jiang Xia politely held the host's head with one hand, while the other hand picked up the machine to look at it, and secretly pulled the progress bar: "It's the timer and the tape. Everything he said was recorded in advance."

   Amuro turned to the maid and confirmed, "Is your serving time predetermined by the host?"

  The maid nodded: "The time is written on the procedure sheet, and it is accurate to the minute."

  “…”

The words    said were recorded in advance, and the serving time was also stipulated in advance...

  It was different from what they thought: the host was not hiding somewhere, observing the situation, and talking to the detectives with a dummy.

   Rather, everything is prepared in advance.

   That is to say…

"The murderer is probably among us." Bai Ma Tan frowned, "Besides, from the very beginning, he was sure that he could successfully kill someone. That's why he said the 'first scream'. The prophecy will come."

   The other detectives nodded, all thinking the same.

   Cowboy Detective was also thinking about his car.

He suggested: "Don't just listen to the nonsense of the 'host', let's go out and see the situation first - maybe the heavy rain will affect those timing devices or bombs, causing some cars to fail to be blown up on time... If That's right, we can drive our car to find our way through the mountains, so we don't have to worry about those 'poisonous snakes dropped in the mountains' he said."
