Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 772 My subordinates are really law-abiding and asking for a monthly pass ヾ(●｀●)~

   "Sanae's disappearance must be because she was killed by Mian Guanyoshi!

"—I found out from Sanae's branch manager that the stock my sister recommended to Mianguan Yoshiichi fell a lot. Mianguan Yoshiichi angrily asked Sanae to compensate him for the loss, so she ran to Mianguan after get off work. Family communication.

   "At first I didn't expect Sanae to be killed by Yoshiichi Watanabe. After going to Sanae's company, I just followed the clues provided by those colleagues to find Yoshiichi Watanabe and wanted to ask where Sanae went after leaving his house.

   "However, this **** said that Sanae never went to him that night--isn't he guilty of being a thief?!

   "It must have been when Sanae went to his house, he insisted on compensation from Sanae, but Sanae didn't, so he killed someone and buried the body in his yard!"

   Amuro Toru who just walked to the door: "..."

   Just now, he passed by here and wanted to come in and get a box of bugs—the ones he brought before just ran out of power.

   Approached, and found that the door was open and Jiang Xia was in the detective office. Amuro paused and wanted to walk a few more steps to find Kazami Yuya to take it.

   As soon as he turned around, he suddenly heard words with a strong criminal aura.

  “…”

  What corpse?

  What is buried in the yard?

   It belongs to the curiosity of a detective, and the sense of responsibility brought by his job makes Amuro Toru in his heart. After the battle between heaven and man, he finally couldn't help but open the door and listen closely.

   Jiang Xia nodded at him when he saw him come in.

   For some reason, Amuro Toru always felt a little more smile in his expression. He stared at this change with sharp eyes, and his movements froze slightly.

...If I remember correctly, Jiang Xia couldn't help showing a similar happy expression when he encountered a case before. It seems that because of this kind of thing, he could experience the "detective standing in the sun" in a very profound way. this identity.

In theory, in solving a case, the victim can rest in peace, the murderer is caught in the legal net, and the police don't have to work overtime... No matter how you look at it, it's not a bad thing, but once it is linked with the word "Jiangxia", it will inevitably be hooked. Toru Amuro brought up some painful memories.

  The corner of his eyes jumped, he instinctively moved his gaze away from Jiang Xia, and turned to the client across from the sofa.

   Just now, Toru Amuro heard the second half of the other party's sentence.

   He was half puzzled, half changed the subject and asked, "Why do you think so? Is there something wrong in the yard? Or did someone witness the burial?"

   "No one witnessed it directly, this is what I deduced."

   Koda Masao pointed his head with his index finger, feeling that this newly arrived blond wage earner had a lot of problems. However, in order to find the missing Koda Sanae, Koda Masao did not mind others participating in the process of "finding the body", and stated the basis for his speculation:

   "I checked, Mian Guanyi couldn't drive, so it was difficult to transport the body, so the body must be near his house."

   "Also, I found a witness.

  "——At two o'clock in the morning on the 8th, the night Sanae disappeared, there was an office worker who lived nearby and happened to pass through the alley next to the yard of Mianguan Yiyi.

   "At that time, he heard the sound of digging holes with shovels in Mian Guan Yiyi's yard.

   "And at 0-3 o'clock that night. On the road outside, there was emergency construction. It must be Mian Guan Yiyi who used the noise to cover up and dug a hole in his yard to bury his body!"

   "So that's what it is..." An Shitou listened, feeling that something was wrong, "If there are witnesses, why don't you go to the police and apply for a search?"

   Instead, he ran over to find the detective...

   Speaking of this topic, Koda Masao's face suddenly sank.

He was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, "I called the police, but Mr. Mochida—that was the witness—was very drunk that night. The police thought that his testimony would not be valid under this condition, so he just called Mian Guanyi. Once I did some routine inquiries in the past... it's really stupid, which murderer would take the initiative to admit that he killed someone!"

  "..." Toru Amuro scratched his face a little embarrassedly. People who are too drunk will lose their ability to act. Testimony in this state cannot be used. This is a rule.

   But thinking of Jiang Xia, a peripheral member next to him, and thinking about himself now, after all, he is an organizational cadre who is working against the police, An Shitou can only scold him with a sincere expression: "Indeed."

   Jiang Xia took a sip from the teacup and watched silently.

   Koda Masao received support and his expression was slightly relieved.

   He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and acted like a lone detective:

   "According to my observation and investigation, Yoshiichi Mianguan has always lived alone. In the past, he often went out for a walk or grocery shopping.

   "But since the day Sanae disappeared, he has been bored at home, locked out of the house. He will only go to Miwa Central Hospital every Saturday."

   Having said this, Koda Masao suddenly sat up straight, slapped the table, and looked at Jiang Xia:

   "Today happens to be the day Mian Guanyi goes out, sneak in with me to find the corpse! Of course, I will do the work of digging up the corpse myself!"

   Jiang Xia sat up straight and opened his mouth to speak.

   "Sorry, this is illegal."

   A voice interjected.

  Amuro suddenly spoke out before Jiang Xia and politely refused the client's request.

  ...Although Jiang Xia is still a minor in age, he is no longer a child after all. People of this age cannot drink or drink, but they can already be detained for illegally entering the house.

   For the members of the organization, being targeted by the police is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. Maybe Jiang Xia will go in with his front foot, and the cleaning squads on the back foot will be anxious to find the door.

  ... In short, even if it is illegal, it must not be caught.

   For example, if you want to intervene in this matter, you can sneak into the yard alone in the middle of the night to investigate secretly, but you can’t promise Koda Masao and his client to become an outlaw fanatic in broad daylight.

   After all, it was the first time they had contact with the client, and they did not know the character of the other party. If the other party bites back after being arrested... or even thinks in the dark, if this client is a tool sent by some forces that dislike Jiang Xia to smear him, then rashly agreeing to the client would be too reckless.

Beside   , the young detective of justice heard this, he was slightly startled, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

  Amuro was relieved a lot: his subordinates were very persuasive, unlike some young people with high blood, who liked to compete with the law in an open and fair manner.

   However, Jiang Xia still did not want to refuse the commission.

   He thought for a moment and turned to the client:

   "It's been more than a month, and even if Mian Guan Yoshiichi really hid the body, the abnormality of the soil and vegetation is probably not so obvious.

"Looking for the body buried in the ground is not an easy task. Even if we climb over the wall while he is not at home, we won't have time to do much effective work... Why don't we do this, make a compromise, I will accompany you to his house, Find an excuse to go in and be a guest. After that, even if you take the opportunity to do something in the yard, it's hard to count as 'illegal entry'."
