Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 601 Let's play a show and ask for a monthly pass (〃〃)

   "Mr. Ogami got potassium cyanide on his thumb when he was holding the teacup. He gnawed his thumb and died on the spot. When we entered the restaurant, we were given a random selection of seats.

   "That is to say, potassium cyanide is probably smeared on all tea cups, and every one of us has potassium cyanide on our hands now.

   "With such a hand, to pick up a coin with patina, a redox reaction will occur, causing the coin to lighten.

"Mother-in-law Qianjian took the rust-stained coin that was far away from her first, probably because she was worried that if it was taken away by others, the person who got it would brighten up through the coin and find that everyone had the coin on their hands. Potassium cyanide."

   Cowboy Detective laughed: "And if this fact is exposed, she can't plan to kill me."

   Having said this, he shook his hand and looked at "Jiang Xia" and An Shitou who had just returned: "During the time you were out, we briefly checked each room.

"Under the pillows in each guest room, there are guns that are convenient for us to kill each other. On the doorknob of the central control room, there is a killing device that will eject poisonous needles when you twist it... In addition, the old woman has probably already chosen My 'way of dying' - I just relax and smoke with my potassium cyanide-stained hands and I'll die of poison very quickly."

  ... Qianjian Kodai was probably blinded by the treasure, and only wrote the killing script for fun, without considering the success rate of playing tricks against a group of detectives.

"But..." Guntian Yumei sighed, "The question now is how to ask her how to get out of here. I can't arrest him and torture him to extort a confession—even if he did, I don't think she would say it. "

   Speaking of this, a voice suddenly floated down from above his head.

  —someone fits into their conversation quite naturally:

"In this case, it's better to follow her heart and give her a scene of 'killing each other' that she wants to see. Then when 'death' is left to me, I will help you find out who left here. method……"

  “?!”

   Several detectives froze for a moment, then raised their heads and looked diagonally upwards in shock.

   I saw the second floor, diagonally facing the open-air balcony here, I don’t know when there was one more person.

   The young man in black leaned against the railing casually. Seeing everyone raised their heads, he raised his hand and pushed the light-colored sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, revealing a pair of smiling eyes that were darker than the night sky.

   "..." is "Kurozawa" who was just excused by them.

  ...Senjian-in-law's companion.

   "Did you leave me just now because you were worried that I was her accomplice?"

  Young people are like reading minds, accurately piercing the questions that everyone is thinking.

   Under the vigilant and astonished gazes of the detectives, he stretched out his hand to support him, jumped off the balcony lightly, and then walked towards the crowd quite naturally and mixed into them:

"Actually, don't be nervous. I only knew her a few hours ago, and I took her car on the way here - really speaking, the friendship between us is far better than that of the detectives you know each other. Much lighter."

   "..." Others recalled the previous relationship between Chikan Koyo and "Kurozawa", and they were suspicious, "But she seems to take care of you..." Are you really not her grandson or something like a junior?

   "We are not related."

  The wind is very strong in the mountains, even under the wide awning, there are still fine raindrops falling in.

   Wuzuo took off his water-soaked sunglasses and explained the puzzling relationship between the old and the young:

"The old grandmother seemed to take good care of me, just because in her eyes, I was a traveler who had a terminal illness and came to the mountains to commit suicide - she thought that like her, my life was short, and I was destined to die here, so I only had feelings for a short time... Well, probably, although she didn't say it, but I guess it should be like this. Her sympathy and the killing intent hidden behind sympathy are all too obvious."

  "..." There are a lot of grooves and key points in this sentence.

  The detectives looked at him with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say for a while.

   In the eerie silence, Uzo leisurely wiped the water off his sunglasses and put them back on the bridge of his nose.

   found that it was soon wet by the rain, so he simply pushed it up, put the sunglasses on the top of his head, and at the same time pressed down the curls that were blown by the mountain wind.

   and then continued the words just now: "From the results of your search of the villa, even if you do find the treasure, the mother-in-law Qianjian probably won't let the person who solves the mystery leave here as she promised.

"But if it was me who asked the question, she might regard the escape method as a puzzle when faced with a person like me who has no desire to survive and only wants to know 'how to escape from this deep forest island' out of curiosity. Answer the mystery, answer it for me—after all, you detectives all seem to like to answer other people's questions, if I remember correctly, Qianjian Granny is also a famous detective, and she should also have this habit."

  “…”

   Several detectives who "knowing that other detectives also deduced the general situation, but when they were at the door just now, couldn't help but repeat their reasoning in detail" fell into silence, feeling an arrow in their hearts.

   They do like the thrill of telling a mystery. But, but there is a reason for this - you have to have a pair of answers, otherwise if someone doesn't understand and pretends to understand, it will affect the plan...

   Speaking of which, the term "you detectives"... always sounds a bit weird, like something the villain who is on the opposite side of the detective likes to say, such as the phantom thief Kidd.

in addition……

   Amuro frowned, and picked out another key word in his words: "Terminal illness? Come here to commit suicide?"

   "I just said it casually." Wu Zuo glanced at the wreckage of the vehicle he was in, and sighed helplessly:

   "My car broke down on the small road, and there was no signal in that area, so I could only go to the main road to find someone for help, and plan to rub someone else's car to a crowded place.

"And a young man dressed like me." He looked down at his black clothes, and raised his finger to the sunglasses on top of his head, these two pieces of standard equipment that many villains also like, "--if you stop in the mountains When the next old lady asks for a ride, the other party may feel scared and refuse to let me go. There are very few cars passing by, so I was worried about missing the opportunity, so I made it up in order to make myself look less threatening. Lies like that."

other people:"……"

  ...To be honest, aside from the occasional dangerous look in his eyes, the young man in front of him looked very far away from being "scaring".

   On the contrary, he always seemed to bring a touch of intimacy to people in a subtle way-even if he spoke directly, Qianjian mother-in-law would probably not refuse his request for a ride.

   And, aside from that...

   Compared with "unlucky passers-by who want to ask for help when their car breaks down", "people who wander around in the mountains after a terminal illness, waiting for an opportunity to find a place to commit suicide" are not even more terrifying!
