Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 604 Leave a message before death and change to the leader [Do not change the name if it is inappropriate]

   Amuroto was right next to Jiang Xia.

   heard him say this at this time, so he also went around and looked at the lid of the piano: "...Yes."

   At the same time, he secretly frowned, a little doubtful in his heart.

  ...I always felt that the speed at which Matsuda was looking for clues was a little unusual.

  This room is not small, except for the piano, the cabinets, balcony, behind the door... There may be clues hidden in many places, but Matsuda went around to the other side for the first time to observe the piano cover.

   And, if I remember correctly, Matsuda's gaze didn't stop anywhere else just now, and immediately came to the angle where the piano lid was facing.

   It's almost like knowing in advance that there is a problem here...

  “…”

   Amuro Toru suddenly thought that the speed of finding clues "to the point of contradicting common sense" gave him a strong sense of sight...

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at "Jiang Xia" who was also leaning over to check the bottom of the piano.

   Of course, because just now, this "Jiang Xia"'s reaction was slightly inconsistent when faced with the explosion of the car. In addition, this case was related to Kidd, and Amuro suspected that the "Jiang Xia" next to him was actually made by Kidd.

so……

   Could it be that Kidd transformed into Jiang Xia, and then transformed Jiang Xia into someone else? ——For example, the young man in front of him who looks a lot like "Matsuda" but calls himself "Kurozawa"?

  The thought flashed through Amuro's mind for a moment.

   But when you think about it rationally, it feels a little ridiculous.

   And this assumption is flawed everywhere.

First of all, in this case, when we played billiards together before, his familiarity with "Kurozawa" couldn't be explained - Matsuda was not keen on taking pictures, and even more so with videos. It was difficult for others to imitate his small movements through images. . In other words, if someone really deliberately imitated Matsuda's every move, it should be when Matsuda was still alive.

   And when Songtian was bombed and sacrificed, Jiang Xia was just 15 years old... Not to mention that Jiang Xia had no motive to imitate Songtian at all. Even if there were, three years later, Jiang Xia's height was much taller than before, and his body shape also changed accordingly.

Moreover, there is no reason for Jiang Xia to follow Kidd's advice and partner up with this strange thief to pit his boss... After all, Jiang Xia knows that "Anshito" is not just an ordinary "Anshito" who loves part-time jobs, but a dangerous "Bourbon" in the organization. . This kind of identity leaking out is a dangerous thing for him, for Jiang Xia, and for the person who was forced to hear the secret. Jiang Xia had no motive to do so.

   Amuro Toru: "..." Wait?

   Think about it carefully, what's so tangled in this.

  ——Whether there is a disguise, pinching Matsuda's face hard will make it clear. After all, this kind of thing is easy to tear.

  Thinking of this, Amuro couldn't help but turn his head, glanced at "Kurozawa" who was right next to him and could touch it as soon as he reached out, and moved his fingers.

   But on second thought, according to his observation, there are also cameras in this piano room.

  If Matsuda is really disguised by others, and there is a face under the disguise that should not be seen...

  Tsk, forget it first.

   After that, find an angle that the camera can't capture and slowly tear it away, so as not to be seen by strangers who do not know their position.

  …

   Toru Amuro's expression control is good though. But Jiang Xia has been working with him for so long, and now, he is already very familiar with the boss's demeanor.

   Jiang Xia also knew that the speed at which he found clues was a bit suspicious...but what does that matter?

   Now that he is Uzo after all, it is not surprising to know anything.

   Even, if the brain tonic monsters increased their power, they might think that this whole incident was all planned by him, an innocent passerby.

  ...I am so happy to open a trumpet, I don’t need to explain if I am misunderstood. In the future, if you meet the frightened person on a narrow road, maybe you will be able to scare a little murderous.

   As for what "Uzuo" and Jiangxia have in common...

   There are many geniuses in the world, and often more than one. Since there are geniuses in solving crimes, naturally there can also be geniuses in crimes. The two can find clues at the same speed. Isn't it very reasonable.

  ... The only problem is that, for some unknown reason, when Amuro stared at him, he felt a little phantom pain in his face. Obviously the puppet doesn't feel pain.

  … Forget it, it’s not a big problem.

  The puppet is different from the disguise. The solid puppet is not afraid of being torn apart. Unless it is cut with a knife, the flaws can be seen from the internal structure.

   But the boss shouldn't do that crazy thing. Of course, if he did, he probably wouldn't be far from collapse. The broken boss can't stay, he can only tie it back to create a murderous perpetual motion machine...

  …

  The two walked away briefly.

   and then quickly remembered the business.

   - On the sloping lid of the piano, there is an even wet stain attached, but not much water on the ground. This quickly reminded people of the small spray bottle on Gun Tian Yumei.

  If I remember correctly, Gunda Yumi was carrying a bottle of Luminol reagent, which she used in the lobby just now.

   The wet marks on the piano are probably sprayed on by her to check for clues.

  Luminol reagent is a common tool for bloodstain detection. The strong oxidant produced by the combination of hydrogen peroxide in the solution and ferrous ions in hemoglobin can make the reagent emit fluorescence.

  Thinking of this, Toru Amuro suggested: "Turn off the light and take a look."

   Kidd, disguised as Jiang Xia, responded, walked to the wall consciously, and turned off the light with a click--employees, when you are with your boss, you have to take the initiative to grab work...

   Kidd finished his errands quickly, feeling that he knew how to judge the situation.

   But suddenly, Amuro Toru seemed to have glanced at him, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, as if he had further confirmed something wrong.

   But after the lights were turned off, the room suddenly fell into darkness, and it was difficult for the human eye to see the surroundings for a short time, as did Kidd.

   He couldn't be sure for a moment whether this was true, or an illusion caused by his guilty conscience.

   After his eyes got used to the light, he took a closer look and saw that Toru Amuro was not looking at him, but was focusing on the piano cover.

  "..." Kidd hesitated for a moment, but he was still interested in the treasure after all, so he decided to get closer and follow.

  ...Although there is no evidence, his intuition tells him that he seems to have been exposed.

  Fortunately, now, there is a murderer who killed the food detective staring behind the camera, and he should be just a secondary target of these detectives.

   Until the murderer is solved, he will not become the most conspicuous target, as long as he escapes in time, it is not a big problem...

  …

  As the surroundings darkened, a few lines of fluorescent text appeared on the piano cover.

  ——This is a line of blood, which has been tried to remove, but it still left traces in front of the reagent:

  [I finally held the trump card of finding the treasure - Kyosuke Chien]
