Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 743 The Shark

  With Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko present, the ambulance and the police car are always coming faster than ever.

  The Mumu Police Department quickly arrived.

   In the yard, he looked at the open space with a serious expression, and first saw Conan who was looking for clues at the scene.

   The corners of the eyes of the Mumu police department jumped, trying to drive this too daring child away from the scene.

   But before he spoke, someone approached from behind. The Mumu Police Department turned around and saw Jiang Xia.

  "..." I haven't seen this efficient detective for a long time, and the Mumu Police Department actually missed it for a while. In the past few days, whether it was because Jiang Xia was on a business trip, he always felt that there were fewer murders in Mihua Town than usual. But less does not mean zero - with the comparison, the Mumu Police Department realized more clearly how profitable Jiang Xia was in solving the case.

   "How is it, brother Jiang Xia." The Mumu police department quickly approached, pricked up his ears to hear the spoiler, he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

  "..." Jiang Xia also lowered his voice to remind him, "I just left for a while, and I just came back now, so I have to look for possible clues."

   "...That's right." The Mumu Police Department nodded.

   So he ran to the corpse again and urged the investigators: "Try to be as fast as possible."

  The manpower is not enough today, and Sato Miwako took someone to deal with another murder case.

   If he ends early here, maybe he can recommend Jiang Xia to go there for a walk... Good detective, let's rub together.

  …

  The autopsy soon had preliminary results, Minagawa Katsuhiko died of pesticide poisoning.

  The police also tested the physical evidence next to the body.

   The first to come out was the piece of chocolate that had been bitten twice next to the corpse - it was laced with pesticides. It was sent by Miyuki Watanabe.

"Why did you kill him?!" Guan Guxiang overheard the conclusion and looked at Watanabe Haomi angrily, "Today is Valentine's Day, if the person he likes gives him chocolate, he will definitely eat it—you relied on him to like you and give it to you. He poisoned? How could he be able to resist you!"

   Watanabe Yumi was very innocent, sobbing: "I, I didn't..."

  The man with glasses was startled, his expression a little strange.

   At this time, another policeman also ran over with his evidence bag in his hand:

   "Police, the smoke is poisonous!"

   Guan Guxiang looked over again.

   She likes the dead, and is particularly concerned about this murder. Hear this new thread. Guan Guxiang quickly remembered the key point.

   She left Watanabe so beautiful and glared at the man with glasses: "He's finished his own cigarettes, and when he goes out, he takes the cigarettes you handed him!"

  The man with glasses sighed, like the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He straightened his back and admitted it directly: "Yes, it was my poison - I hated him for a long time, and he has been playing me as a fool and ruining your precious heart. Hmph, he always forgot about it before. I had to bring cigarettes, so I put poison on the filter, I didn't expect that today, he just happened to ask me for cigarettes..."

  "..." Jiang Xia watched for a while, and before the Mumu police department walked up to the man with glasses and said, "Please come with us," he said, "That cigarette is only poisonous on the filter?"

   The investigator and the man with glasses were startled, and nodded subconsciously at the same time.

   "Then don't be in a hurry to take the blame."

Jiang Xia pointed to the evidence bag and pulled back the crooked road of truth: "The cigarette **** and the cigarette body are separate—Mr. Minagawa's own pack of cigarettes seems to be a brand without a filter, so although he took it, you He smoked poisoned cigarettes, but before smoking, he habitually removed the filter. The part he smoked was not poisonous."

As he talked, Jiang Xia felt that he was playing a simplified version of the script: most of the suspects had a holiday with Minagawa Katsuhiko, and they also carried out messy killing practices... But in this incident, there was only one murderer. .

   Mumu Police Department heard Jiang Xia's words, and his spirit was lifted: "Do you know who the murderer is?"

  Conan also looked over, and at the same time, he was also making exclusions in his heart.

  Actually, according to his experience, "people who are always present, but who left suddenly at the time of the crime and who seem to have an alibi" are the most suspicious... That's right, such as Jiang Xia who suddenly slipped away at some point.

   However, this thought only flashed briefly, and was quickly ruled out by Conan.

  ——Jiang Xia is not some kind of perverted murderer who kills by interest. He has no festival with Minagawa Katsuhiko, and he doesn't even know each other at all, and has no motive.

   And this time the deceased was killed by poison. Jiang Xia had never touched other people's food at all, and he ate everything he handled himself, the only exception was the cup of tea that Jiang Xia brought to him after Conan was kissed by Muscle Brother just now. Conan felt it carefully, and felt that he was very healthy at this time, and there was no feeling of drinking pesticides.

  ... Anyway, the murderer is someone else.

"..." Conan thought and knocked on his head in reflection: Even with Jiang Xia present, he shouldn't be in a hurry to solve the case, but always want to analyze in the direction of routine and intuition, trying to rely on "Lingguang One" flash".

   Still should be down-to-earth to judge based on evidence and logic. Although 80% of the time Jiang Xia had solved the case when he was rationalizing his logic, the detective's integrity must not be lost... Conan nodded secretly in his heart, encouraging himself.

   The Mumu Police Department did not find a child with a complicated mood next to him, and concentrated on waiting for Jiang Xia's conclusion.

   Jiang Xia shook his head: "I came a little late, and I don't know much about the situation at that time."

   The police who eavesdropped on ears were a little disappointed.

   But soon, they heard Jiang Xia say again: "But my intuition tells me that at times like this, people who behave abnormally often have problems. If you ask them about it, you may get unexpected results, such as—"

   Jiang Xia suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the kitchen: "My son has just passed away, and the police are still walking around in the hall, but Mrs. Ji Chuan is actually busy washing cups."

  “…”

   A group of people followed his direction and turned their heads in slow motion.

The originally gentle trickling sound of water seemed to amplify suddenly after being noticed—at the end of their line of sight, Mrs. Minagawa in a kimono with sleeves rolled up was standing in front of the kitchen sink, with her back to them, as if nothing had happened. with tea cups and dishes.

   Suddenly being stared at, her movements froze, and her hand holding the coffee cup tightened awkwardly.

   After a while, Mrs Minagawa gritted her teeth and suddenly accelerated, trying to wash the remaining coffee cups before the police recovered.

   The sound of water suddenly changing speed finally awakened the police who had been at ease for too long and had no ability to observe.

   Mumu Police Department's forehead blue veins jumped, and he waved his hand: "Stop her!"

  Conan: "..."

   He actually saw Mrs. Minagawa's actions, but his first reaction was to think along this anomaly... eh? Wait, Jiang Xia also uses intuition to solve the case?
