Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 755 Let’s dig a trap. Please vote for me ()

The words just fell, before Jiang Xia and Conan could reply. A vicissitudes of laughter suddenly came from the side.

Someone naturally joined Haihara Ai’s conversation:

"Haha, they are indeed not normal, but they probably don't have the guts to kill people. Children, you might as well go look for other suspicious people nearby. Maybe a murderer has killed someone nearby, and then in order to divert the attention of the police, kill the person. It was thrown into our store."

Jiang Xia was startled, stopped and looked at the source of the sound.

The person who spoke to me was the old lady who played the role of "Grandma Aqing" from the young master's hometown. Grandma Aqing has a stooped figure and white hair. She looks very old... No wonder she is considered a "kid".

Although Conan is about the same age as Jiang Xia, he is already used to this kind of address for children.

He looked at Grandma Aqing: "I heard that you don't like 'Lao Yang' very much either?"

"Yes, he is very ugly when he curses people. Words like 'idiot', 'idiot', and 'bastard' come out of his mouth all the time. He will not show mercy to a slow old woman of my age."

Grandma Aqing took a long drag on her cigarette and exhaled the smoke faintly: "Those of us working people, no one likes 'Lao Yang' at all. Originally, the store manager had a good relationship with him, but they became love rivals because of 'Madonna' After that, there was nothing to do with me... If I hadn’t been too squandering and didn’t save any savings, huh, I wouldn’t have come here to work and suffer.”

"But, speaking of it..."

Grandma Aqing suddenly smiled, with wrinkles on her face layer upon layer.

She looked at Madonna who was mopping the floor next to her: "Fortunately, you happened to spend the night at my house last night, otherwise we wouldn't have that 'alibi'."

Jiang Xia followed her to Madonna and said casually: "You come here to work for a living?"

The pretty Madonna actress shook her head: "I just love working here."

"Porcupine" ran out of the room at some point - he had cried too much and forgot to bring a handkerchief, and wanted to find some tissues to wipe his face.

Suddenly hearing Madonna's words, he burst into tears and said sourly: "Yeah, who doesn't want to play Madonna?"

"..."

Madonna was stared at by his resentful eyes, and the corners of her eyes twitched. She felt that the reason why she came to work was in vain and she was brought to the same level as him.

She sighed and explained: "I'm different from you. Rather than liking this job, I actually do it for my sister - she likes Natsume Soseki's works, and her favorite is "The Young Master" novel.

"After hearing about this special restaurant, she always wanted to come and work there, but unfortunately, she died of subarachnoid hemorrhage before that..." Madonna thought about the sad incident and shook her head helplessly:

"After she left, I wanted to carry on her legacy and work here for a while. It would be a memory of her and I would have something to talk to her about during the memorial ceremony... I didn't expect to come here and found that this job is really interesting. He has stayed.”

"Of course you find it interesting. Lao Yang likes you, so I won't scold you." "Porcupine" bit the corner of the tissue and snorted vaguely. But he immediately thought of something and showed an expression of sudden realization:

"However, with such a heavy reason, no wonder Lao Yang will assign you the job of playing 'Madonna'. Although it is unfair competition, there is really no way..."

He shook his head and left with a sigh.

Jiang Xia looked at his back silently: "..." No, even without these heavy reasons, the role of "Madonna" would not be played by a burly man who is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 180, with tendons all over his body. ...Unless the sign at the door is changed from "Young Master Pavilion" to "Cowherd Pavilion" or something like that...

However, these words were a bit harsh, so Jiang Xia kept her mouth shut tightly and did not say anything.

It's not all out of consideration. The main reason is that he is afraid that after hearing this, "Porcupine" will burst into tears on the spot and once again destroy the spirits of innocent passers-by...

…

With the results of questioning the suspect, Jiang Xia left the area where employees gathered and found Miwako Sato who was busy next to the body.

The courtyard is open-air and relatively unobstructed. In addition to the police, there are also a few employees watching the excitement.

"How's it going?" Officer Sato's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Xia approaching, and he smelled the breath of getting off work, "Have you got a clue?"

Then he saw Jiang Xia shake her head.

"...That's it." Sato Miwako sighed quietly, then quickly cheered up and turned to Jiang Xia, "It's almost dinner time, you should go back first. If we don't get any clues, we will temporarily close the team. Besides, that..."

Officer Sato is embarrassed to always take up the detective's personal time, and would rather work hard on his own.

But then I thought about it, Jiang Xia had been shopping in this hotel for so long and still couldn't solve the case. Then they...

Her originally buoyant confidence shrank a little unconsciously.

Sato Miwako cleared her throat, her eyes drifted to the pine trees nearby, and she said a little guiltily: "If you are free tomorrow, you can come over and take a look."

Jiang Xia responded. But didn't leave.

…

Sato Miwako didn't pay attention at first.

After the scene was dealt with, a few people were left standing guard, and the others were preparing to collect the team and return to the police station.

She came to the parking place and as soon as she opened the car door, she suddenly heard the door on the passenger seat being opened.

Sato was startled, then looked over there and found Jiang Xia nodded towards her, then naturally got into her car and closed the door.

"...?"

Sato Miwako was a little confused at first-suddenly she found that Jiang Xia stayed here and did not leave. She subconsciously thought that Jiang Xia was unwilling to solve the case quickly because she wanted to stay and continue to look for clues. However, she accidentally delayed her work until she got off work at the same time as them.

But soon, she suddenly thought of another possibility.

Miwako Sato looked both ways and also got into the car.

The door of the back seat of the car also clicked, two children slipped in, and then closed again.

Officer Sato saw Conan and Haibara Ai in the rearview mirror and didn't care about the three people's car-riding behavior.

She turned to Jiang Xia, and an idea flashed in her mind: "Have you found the murderer?"

Jiang Xia said "Yeah": "I have a general idea, but I haven't started looking for evidence yet - the murder happened last night, and there was plenty of time to clean up the scene. In fact, this morning, the murderer may have taken the time to return to a real The main scene has been further cleaned up. Now of course we need to find physical evidence, but it may be more troublesome, so... it is better to set up a trap tonight and let the murderer jump in by himself. "

"The real main scene..." Sato Miwako was startled, "In other words, this is not the real crime scene. Was the body moved here later?"
