Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 775 I've been brainwashed!

   The construction space where several children are located is right next door to the Mianguanyi family.

  Although Conan is a child physically, his mental age is already high school after all. He and a few real children sneak into other people's construction sites to play baseball, and he always feels uncomfortable.

  Conan played with the child while looking around with a little guilty conscience.

   At this moment, in the corner of his vision, he suddenly caught a gleam of reflection—of course, the reflection was not from Okiya Subaru's glasses, but from a farther place.

   Looking carefully, the bright spot comes from next door to the construction site.

   The top floor of a grand villa.

  Conan put his hand on the pergola and looked over, and found behind the window there was an elderly man with gray hair. The man was a burly man with an old-fashioned telescope in front of him. The reflection just now was from the telescope. Although I couldn't see the face behind the telescope, I always felt that the man's expression was very unfriendly, even a little gloomy.

  "..." Conan silently got goosebumps.

   Just watch them play baseball, why stare with binoculars.

  … kind of scary.

   Is it because they think their chatter is too loud? This kind of place is really easy to amplify, and when the child is excited, the penetrating power of the sound is particularly strong.

  Thinking about it, Conan suddenly realized something and looked at Subaru Okiya.

  ——These "children" are all right, but if this graduate student is caught, even if he is only detained for a few days, it will probably affect his completion of that seemingly terrifying dissertation.

  Conan was just trying to remind this eccentric adult.

   But before he could open his mouth, Kojima Motota screamed and slammed the ball hard. The baseball drew a beautiful parabola, passed over the heads of everyone, crossed the two walls, and fell into the yard of the next door.

  ——It was the family who stared at them with binoculars and observed faintly.

  Conan: "..."

  Okiya Subaru: "..." Great, good luck.

  …

the other side.

  After the taxi left, Jiang Xia and Koda Masao went to the gate of Mianguan Yoshiichi's courtyard together.

   was about to ring the doorbell when he suddenly heard chaotic footsteps—many people were approaching.

   Jiang Xia paused, turned his head to look over, and saw a few familiar-looking children and a familiar-looking adult.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

   The boy detective team was abducted, Okiya Subaru is very good...

   He pressed the doorbell, looked away from the Detective Boys, and looked at Subaru Okiya with a slightly puzzled expression, as if he didn't know why this strange man was hanging out with a child he knew.

at the same time.

   The three bear children recognized Jiang Xia a few beats slowly.

  I immediately started self-examination instinctively and reviewed my experience today.

——Playing baseball on someone else’s construction site, hitting the ball into someone’s private house... In addition, going back in time, their baseball hit the head of an innocent passerby, and the passerby victim was on the field... …

   remembered Jiangxia's consistent attitude towards "bad guys". The three children stopped their footsteps towards the gate of the first courtyard in Mianguanyi, and they dared not approach.

  Jiang Xia said friendly and seemed to be very concerned about the children's condition: "Why are you panicking, what happened?"

   Haibara Ai tried to ease the relationship between Jiang Xia and the children, and took a step to the side, trying to let Ayumi Yoshida hiding behind her.

   As soon as she moved, Yoshida Ayumi immediately moved in sync with her, like a shadow clinging to her back, completely failing to achieve the desired effect.

Haibara Ai:"……"

She sighed, looked at Jiang Xia, and had to come by herself: "When we were playing baseball nearby, the ball accidentally flew into this family's yard, so I wanted to ask the owner if he could let us go in and look for the ball. …”

"Oh, it's weird that Mian Guanyi agrees after a while." Next to him, Koda Masao couldn't help sneering, "In his yard, there is a body buried in it, if you let you in and you dug it out, he will Buried a few more new bodies."

   Okiya Subaru heard this and interjected in surprise: "Corpse?"

  ...Pretend to be an ordinary passerby who was surprised by Koda Masao's words.

   The day before yesterday, after Uzo took him to see the corpse, he told him all about the cause and effect of the case.

  So although Okiya Subaru didn't see the photo, he quickly decided that the man in front of him who was full of grievances and was extremely hostile to Yoshiichi Matsumoto was probably the brother of the corpse, Masao Koda.

  After expressing his surprise like a normal person, Subaru Okiya touched his chin and began to think about how he could quietly give some hints so that Masao Koda and the others could find the body as soon as possible.

   But after thinking about it, "the task is late" and "being caught by others in a suspicious way", these two are probably the same crime for Uzo.

  If the reminder is too abrupt...

   In the end, Okiya Subaru still didn’t dare to speak—there were still a few days left until the end of the mission, but he wasn’t in a hurry to reveal himself. And now, as a passerby, he has just heard the word "corpse". In theory, he shouldn't know too much.

  ... Let's wait for a while, and then let's give a hint when we catch a suitable entry point.

  Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but fall on Jiang Xia again, feeling that he was lucky.

   - He recognized this famous high school detective.

  The presence of a detective means that not only can the corpse be found quickly, but even later, the relationship between the corpse and Mianguan Yoshiichi can also be excavated by the detective.

   Having said that, Okiya Subaru thought that if he wanted to hang out with Uzo for a long time in the future, it would be very necessary to get to know a few more powerful detectives—as long as he led them there when needed.

  …no, wait.

  Why did you suddenly start planning career development?

   At times like this, shouldn't I pray for Mr. Akai to move faster and let himself fly away as soon as possible...

   After suddenly realizing this, Okiya Subaru briefly fell into deep thought, and even suspected that Uzo had secretly made some terrifying hints when he didn't know it.

   "..." After this mission is over and Uzo temporarily takes his attention away, go to a psychiatrist. It just so happens that the instructor seems to know several professors in psychology...

  …

Beside   , Conan and Haibara Ai heard the word "corpse" and were equally startled.

   Koda Masao did not notice the movements of the two children, but looked at Subaru Okiya - he heard Subaru Okiya's question about "corpses".

Since there were not many people who believed in Masao Koda, and Subaru Okiya looked like a scholar and looked very smart, Masao Koda couldn't help but chatted with Subaru Okiya like a missionary who had discovered high-quality talents. The details of the "burial" that I guessed.
