Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 69 The Kudos' Battle of Wisdom and Courage

According to the unwritten rules of this world, whoever reasoned must prove it.

The detectives that the Mumu police department encountered in the past were all well-behaved and obedient.

But this time, when he was adjusting the stopwatch to time Jiang Xia.

But I heard Jiang Xia decline: "It's not necessary."

The Mumu police station stopped: "Huh?"

Jiang Xia glanced at the shikigami on the host's leg, then looked at the window, and fast-forwarded skillfully:

"The murderer doesn't need to come to this room in person, he just needs to be in a certain room upstairs, lure the dead to poke his head out, and then shoot at the bottom."

As he spoke, Jiang Xia pointed to the blood-stained window and the neatly broken bloodstains on the upper window frame: "After shooting, throw the gun in along the window, so that when the corpse falls, the window will be closed naturally. Then By leaving bullet holes in the room beforehand, it is possible to fake the illusion that the killer was standing in the room and shooting."

...

The host stood aside with unpredictable expressions. He suddenly got hairy on his back, suspecting that when he committed the crime, Jiang Xia was actually following behind him and witnessed everything.

Jiang Xia spoke a little fast.

Some people understand those fancy procedures, but some don't.

However, what to do next is still very clear.

The Mumu police department digested for a while, called the police officers from the forensics department, and asked them to check the smoke reaction at the corresponding windows one by one from this floor up.

Soon, obvious gunpowder residue was detected on the seventh floor.

——That's where the actual shooting took place.

And if you want to go from the studio on the 9th floor to the warehouse on the 7th floor, four minutes is more than enough.

The host's "alibi" disappeared with a snap.

He still wanted to continue to argue, but at this point...he didn't know what else to say.

It was as if Jiang Xia stole his murder script and spread it out in front of everyone... The host did not expect this situation at all.

...

Afterwards, things are even simpler.

Although the seventh floor is very close to the studio, 4 minutes is still not enough. If the host fired without any cover at that time, he would definitely be able to detect the gunpowder smoke reaction; but if he made a disguise, the time is so urgent, his armor is difficult to hide, as long as you look along the road, you can get the powerful evidence of.

...

A few minutes later.

When the host, under the watchful eyes of a group of police officers, hugged his head and squatted in the corner to grow mushrooms.

In the fire box on the 8th floor, Officer Takagi found the raincoat and gloves that the host was wearing when he shot.

As long as these physical evidences are identified, the murderer can be identified.

However, judging from the host's reaction, there shouldn't be much suspense about the result.

The case skipped to the finale again with one click.

The police officers looked at Jiang Xia very kindly. Although this little brother always encounters murder cases, he solves them quickly. Who doesn't like working shorter hours?

...

The Mumu police department turned their hands away comfortably, thumped their backs, and asked their subordinates to bring the suspect and physical evidence back to the police station.

And he himself has to continue to deal with the matter that his old friend asked him to help investigate.

——He received a call just now, and the wife of a generation of Kudo brothers disappeared.

Kudo Yukiko had just disappeared for a few hours, and the evidence of her disappearance was only "the phone couldn't be reached", which was not enough to file a case.

But Yusaku Kudo seems to take this matter seriously.

So the Mumu Police Department decided to help him find it in private.

...

However, before leaving the building of Nikkei TV Station.

The Mumu Police Department inadvertently glanced into the crowd, just in time to see a familiar figure.

- The woman wears a visor and sunglasses, covering her face. But after a closer look, the Megure Police Department always felt that the man was very similar to Yukiko Kudo.

"?!"

He ran over immediately.

However, there are many people crowded around to watch the excitement. When the Mumu police department arrived, the woman had disappeared.

The Mumu Police Department touched the back of his head suspiciously.

Just then, a phone call came in.

He glanced at the caller ID, and answered, "Hello, Brother Kudo. Oh, I haven't had time yet. But I just saw a person who looks like your wife. Huh? I'm on Nikai TV now. There was a murder case here just now ..."

Jiang Xia, who was passing by, froze slightly when she heard the call.

But it calmed down quickly.

...He just said hello to the neighbor aunt when he passed by, and then talked about his itinerary for today. He is not a human trafficker, so don't feel guilty.

Jiang Xia took a few seconds to soothe her conscience, and walked backstage as if nothing had happened.

...

Yoko Kinoshita also has an evening show.

After cleaning up the mess here, she regretfully bid farewell to Jiang Xia and her idol.

Kudo Yukiko went downstairs with Jiang Xia. Halfway through, she remembered something, and suddenly felt empty.

When she reached the entrance of the TV station and saw two people, one big and one small, staring at her resentfully, Kudo Yukiko froze.

She smiled awkwardly and patted Jiang Xia: "You go back first."

Jiang Xia responded, nodded to Kudo and his son, got a polite response, and then left.

...

Yukiko Kudo stood at the entrance of the TV station, looked at the father and son who had been looking for her all afternoon, and pressed the brim of her hat guiltily.

In fact, not long after the show started recording, she remembered that she seemed to have forgotten some "business".

But by then, the show had already started. Moreover, she promised to be a group of relatives and friends for Jiang Xia, if she turned around and left, it always felt like she was going back on her word, not very kind...

So with a guilty conscience, You Xizi had an idea and found a suitable excuse for herself.

——I heard from the doctor that the members of the black organization hit Shinichi on the back of the head as soon as they saw him.

But she and her husband couldn't do this kind of cruelty to their son, who was so smart. If things go on like this, Shinichi will definitely find that these two "organization members" are not violent at all when they face the hard-working brats. This leads to doubts about their true identities.

And once their son found out, their "kidnapping" naturally became a farce, and it was impossible for his son to realize the danger of the organization.

Kudo Yukiko: "..." So, it's better to make the mistake and change the route - I suddenly disappeared.

It was also an opportunity for the son to understand how dangerous his situation was. It just so happens that the father and son usually solve a lot of cases, and each of their brains is bigger than the other...

...

Outside the Nikmai TV station building.

Facing the two resentful Kudos, Kudo Yukiko bit the bullet and said what she had thought up in advance.

Kudo Yusaku "..." for a long time. In the end, he looked at his wife who was trying to pass the test, he sighed, and decided to cooperate with her temporarily, and then talk to her about the issue of losing contact without authorization.

So Yusaku Kudo turned to Conan: "That's right. Have you thought about it, if you stay here, once you are discovered by that organization, the people around you will be threatened with their lives—just like your mother today."

However, Conan was not convinced at all, he looked at Yukiko Kudo speechlessly: "You must have followed Jiang Xia first, and then realized that I was still thrown in the house, so let's make up this excuse now... Anyway, leave me alone , I won't leave here!"

…………

Jiang Xia didn't eavesdrop on the Kudo family's argument.

He took his newly picked shikigami and went home happily.

After the live broadcast of the incident, Jiang Xia's reputation in the detective world increased again - because that day, a ghost photographer broadcast the content of the case-solving without authorization.

Because the process of solving the case went so smoothly, some people suspected that this was a script written in advance, or some kind of "extra time special program".

However, with the news that the host was arrested and the producer was killed the next day, this kind of conjecture completely faded away—the host and the producer are both celebrities, and it is really unrealistic to die and be arrested for the show.

...

However, even though his prestige has increased, Jiang Xia still hasn't received those mysterious entrustments sent from afar that can pick up many souls after meeting the appointment.

He is still in the ordinary days of looking for cats and dogs to watch Xiaosan.

"..." Jiang Xia once wondered whether the commission was attracted to Kogoro Mori by Conan.

However, he used Kinoshita Yoko as an excuse to go to Mori Kogoro's detective agency to investigate several times. But it turns out that Mori Kogoro has not received any decent commissions.

It seems that the prestige is not enough, but the time has not come...
