Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 689 You don't understand death at all

  Sao Yamamura glanced at the innocent old maple tree.

   When he turned his head again, he saw Jiang Xia lowered his head slightly and looked a little guilty. It seemed that they really felt that they had done a very inappropriate thing about leaving the mountain village to fuck.

Looking at Yamamura Cao, he felt that he had a bigger problem: he shouldn't say it too much, curse others for bad luck or something, if Jiang Xia really forgot at that time, the detective seems to be focused, and it is easy to ignore the surrounding movement, especially It's a high school detective...

   "At that time, we just heard a movement upstairs, we were anxious to find it, and didn't notice where you were hiding." A voice from the side interjected.

   Amuro Toru didn't feel guilty at all. Regardless of whether he was Jianggu Zero or Bourbon, he felt that this confused policeman lacked the life-threatening beatings, and it was enough to frighten him.

   But now, of course, is not the time to talk about those little things.

   happened to meet, and Amuro asked what he was more concerned about: "Speaking of which, why are you here? Has the case in the Forest of the Head Gods come to a conclusion?"

   Hearing this question, Yamamura snorted, a little weaker.

  ...In that case, the prisoner who killed "Fake Jiang Xia" died suddenly. With the video of his murder as evidence, the case could be closed. But they never found the "perverted mysterious man" the prisoner said. Before disappearing, he fell to the ground, and there was no news.

   To find these, it may take a long time to search, and since the main body of the case has been broken, these details will inevitably be put on hold. After all, Yamamura Cao was a reasoning enthusiast, and he felt that the case was unsatisfactory, so he did not want to answer this question.

   After being stared at by Toru Amuro for a while, the police officer suddenly thought of something.

He cleared his throat solemnly, and stood up again: "No! I'm the policeman, now it's time for me to ask you! - What are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's not to destroy the evidence...or the case. Is there anyone you know?"

"I don't know, I just met once in the evening." Jiang Xia shook his head, "He said he was the assistant director of "Maple Red in Winter", and let us help pass a message to a guest who lived in the Chishu Hotel and wanted to visit a maple tree. Nice to meet you here."

"Oh? So, the most suspicious person should be that guest." Yamamura Cao actually followed a normal person's train of thought. He turned to the police subordinates and waved his hand, "Go back to the hotel and look for it. By the way, contact that person again. Crew, confirm the identity of the deceased - he has no wallet and no documents."

  Amuro gave Yamamura a surprised look.

  ...How come I feel a little smarter than before.

   Legendary people don't scare, don't grow?

  …

   Yamamura Cao inadvertently found an important witness who was sent to the door - Jiang Xia and other detectives.

   However, when they arrived at the hotel, they only found out when they asked about the details. Jiang Xia and the others just wrote a message on the guest book. They had never met the mysterious guest who had an appointment with the deceased, nor did they know the name of the guest.

   The Chishu Hotel, as the most famous and largest hotel in this area, has nearly 100 guests in it, and the scope is too wide.

   "I remember the uncle of the deceased said that the guests arrived in the morning."

  Conan pressed his forehead and remembered some details: "In other words, if you find the customers who came to the store at that time, you should be able to narrow the scope."

   Yamamura: "...This, this is it."

The    statement is very reasonable, but what a strange name is "Uncle of the Dead". Spitting out of the mouth of a naive child is even more frightening, especially since this child has clear eyes and an innocent expression, as if he is accustomed to this kind of thing...

  Cao Yamamura calmly glanced at Conan, then at Jiang Xia, and at the other people who came with him, and found that no one seemed to care about this.

   So I can't help but doubt myself... Could it be that he has too little knowledge?

   Are children like this now?

  …

A few minutes later.

   Yamamura felt that although the people next to the famous detective Jiang Xia were strange, including children.

   But the clues and ideas they gave were really useful.

  ——“Morning” is not a common accommodation time period. In general hotels, rooms will be cleaned and cleaned at this time. If you want to move in, you usually have to pay more than the previous day's rent.

  So after checking the roster of the Chachishu Hotel, the police found that there were only three people who came to stay there during this time.

The range of    suspects has been narrowed down a lot, greatly reducing their workload.

   In addition, two other guests arrived a little later, not in the morning, but near noon.

   However, their check-in was before the normal business hours - the two were only more than 20 minutes earlier than the specified check-in time, but they were unwilling to wait, but decisively paid an extra day's room fee.

   Two strange guests named "Jiangxia" and "Amuroto".

  “…”

  The Maori father and daughter have no idea about this, just a little surprise - the boss of Anshi who likes to work around is actually a local tyrant with good money.

   Belmod, disguised as Suzuki Sonoko, glanced at the roster and didn't notice anything wrong. She doesn't look at the check-in time when she stays in the hotel. She stays there when she arrives, uses the service if she wants, and pays more if she charges more. Anyway, the money can't be spent.

   And Conan... Conan is still suspicious, but there is still no evidence.

   Even he didn't quite know what he was suspecting. Maybe it was just some kind of intuition from the detective, telling him that Amuro had a lot of secrets, something was wrong, and maybe he had something to do with something dangerous.

  …

   No matter how suspicious Amuro and Jiang Xia were, the two detectives didn't seem to have any plans to run away, and both of them knew the truth to the police and their fellow travelers.

   Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, the focus of the current observation is still the three guests who arrived at the earliest.

  Mian Guan Chensan is also among them.

This event was very important to him, so he was very punctual in this regard. When he said that he came in the morning, he really came in the morning, so that after the unlucky assistant found the "maple tree with bones buried in its roots" , rushed to the scene as soon as possible, controlled the scene, and prevented the body he hid five years ago from being exposed to people.

   At this time, although he was regarded as the suspect who killed his assistant, he was singled out.

   But Mian Guan Chensan is someone who has seen strong winds and waves after all. The assistant's fresh body was found, and he wasn't too nervous—there was no evidence for the murder anyway. As long as five years ago, the corpse of the mud participating cadre that he hid was not found.

   After all, the police tell the evidence.

   And Ni participating in the meeting is not a serious organization, even if there is no hard evidence, he may be sanctioned.

   Now, Mian Guanchen San is glad that the maple tree where the corpse was buried is hard to find - something happened here, it won't affect there. His younger brothers who came to help in the search in advance can continue to search in peace.
