Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 688 Gordon's heart skipped a beat

  Amuro sensed Jiang Xia's movements, and also looked at the handbook.

   Jiang Xia opened the page in question and handed it to him.

  Conan is a serious detective, unlike the two gangsters.

   As soon as he arrived at the scene, he first looked at the body with all his attention.

   After seeing all the information that can be seen with the naked eye, Conan straightened up and glanced aside inadvertently. Since the heights were similar, he happened to see Jiang Xia's hand hanging by his side. The color of the palm is darker, as if it is stained with...

   A patch of blood? !

  Conan was startled, subconsciously grabbed Jiang Xia's hand and turned it over.

   The casual glance just now was not an illusion. The stain on Jiang Xia's palm was really blood.

  ... Just finished watching a corpse stabbed to death and covered in blood. When he turned around, he saw blood on the hands of his companions.

   "..." Conan has read a lot of mystery novels, and he has actually watched horror movies a lot. The plots of such third-rate horror movies have never once frightened him, but this time, he felt a solid snort in his heart.

   Doubt about Anshitou was actually hard not to spread to Jiang Xia. Even if Conan believed that Jiang Xia would not kill people, it was difficult for Jiang Xia not to be influenced by Toru Amuro. And Conan remembered that according to the approximate time of death of the deceased, Jiang Xia and Amuro left the hotel during that time.

   He looked up at Jiang Xia and blurted out in shock: "You..."

   "You got dirty things on your hands!"

Beside   , "Suzuki Sonoko" screamed in surprise. And before Conan could react, he took out a wet towel from somewhere, and pulled Jiang Xia's hand twice.

  The blood was gone.

   Then she took out another bottle of disinfectant out of nowhere and sprayed it.

  Conan: "..."

  He was speechless for a moment because of the speed at which the evidence was destroyed.

But soon, with the interruption of "Suzuki Sonoko", the surprise of seeing bloodstains suddenly subsided. After Conan instinctively made a series of assumptions, he had time to follow the process and make assumptions about himself one by one. Find loopholes.

   Then I found that I was probably a little nervous just now, too influenced by the premise of "There is a problem with Amuro", and I thought about things differently.

   Amuro Toru is indeed suspicious, and the so-called entrustment doesn't sound right.

   But just as far as today's matter is concerned, think about it carefully. After Jiang Xia and Amuroto left the hotel just now, the two actually went back again, and even ordered a table of local snacks for supper.

  Even if Jiang Xia did kill someone, he must have washed his hands before eating. There was no way that blood was still on his hands—the place where the bloodstain was, but the palm of his hand was hard to ignore when there was light.

Next to   , Amuro glanced at Conan, and found that it was not his illusion.

  ——This kid is always taken aback every time he meets him. How is he a bad guy?

   But on the other hand, this may mean that he played "Bourbon" well?

   "It's the blood that came from it." Anshi shook the handbook Jiang Xia gave him just now, "Jiang Xia just picked it up. There is blood on the back, as well as the inside page. I also got a little on my hand."

   said, he opened his hand and showed it to the others, and it sure was in the same place as the blood on Jiang Xia's palm just now.

Next to   , a policeman who was at the scene moved his ears and ran over alertly, splitting his hands and grabbing the account: "How can you directly touch the evidence!"

   Yes, yes. Conan nodded secretly, Jiang Xia used to be regarded as a model detective in the eyes of the police, but today he came across the handbook directly. My intuition was right, something wasn't quite right... I hope it wasn't the fingerprints that shouldn't be on the wallet, so I had to take it again to cover it up.

   His eyes looked back and forth between Jiang Xia and Anshitou, and finally fell on Anshitou's hand.

  …

   Suspicion returns to Suspicion, but there is still an unsolved case in front of him.

  According to Conan's usual behavior, even if Gin is holding a gun to his head now, after he is frightened, he will instinctively free part of his brain to think about the murderer.

   In short, since Jiang Xia and Anshito don't have any clues for the time being, it's better to think about the case at hand.

   Just now, when Jiang Xia picked up the wallet to check, Conan had slipped over to the corpse and briefly checked the situation.

   At this time, for Conan, the blood-stained handbook has undoubtedly become a new clue.

  Unfortunately, now that it has been in the hands of the police, even if you put your feet up, you can only see the back...

While trying to look up, Conan suddenly remembered - he had seen this handbook. Before, when the deceased assistant asked them to leave a message, he shook the handbook for them to let them read the back. "ホヅミ", which should be the pronunciation of his surname.

   The police officer holding the notebook was in a mixed mood when he looked at the physical evidence that was handled by two people.

   But think about it, the person who touches the physical evidence is a detective, and even thinks that this is not a big problem...

   The policeman sighed and looked at Jiang Xia: "Where was the wallet when you first discovered it? We didn't even see it..."

   "There." Jiang Xia turned his head and pointed to the place two steps away behind him, "Half of it is buried in the leaves. When I passed by, I felt that the sound of the dead leaves rubbing against the ground was wrong.

Provide information by the way: "The position of the inner page 'April 1st' is stained with blood, which should be printed by the deceased. You can see the relatively clear lines, you can check the fingerprints. If this is the case, it may be his Some kind of message before death."

   "Oh oh." The policeman nodded and turned back to check.

   While talking, the policeman who led the team came over and asked after a few meters, "How is it? Did you find any clues..."

   Halfway through the words, the voice stopped abruptly.

   is followed by a tone change: "Why are you again?!"

   Jiang Xia was startled, turned around, and saw Yamamura Cao—a confused police officer who didn't know if he was qualified as a police officer, but was quite qualified as a case attractor.

"Hmph, retribution! You've encountered so many cases, it's all retribution!" Yamamura looked at Jiang Xia and An Shitou, remembering that the three of them went to the dark mansion in the Tou Shen Forest together to find clues, but the two **** detectives The thing about leaving him and running away, "to leave behind a just police officer and run away alone, no wonder you have bad luck every day!"

  "..." Jiang Xia looked at him regretfully. If this is the reason for the murder case, the matter would be simple...

   Yamamura Cao suddenly shivered from behind, and Ah Chiu sneezed.

   He rubbed his nose, turned his head vigilantly, glanced at the framing tree that looked particularly gloomy at night, looked at it for a while, and found nothing unusual, and finally wrapped his coat tightly in silence.
