Conan’s Corpse Picker

"Killing props? In that box, there are just ice cubes that I brought to the store manager. He usually likes to drink cold drinks and can't live without these." Madonna tried to slow down her tone and said softly, "Actually, tonight, the store manager asked me Came here..."

As she spoke, she leaned toward the person behind her.

——In Madonna’s view, since the police have not ruled out the suspicion of the store manager, they may have ambushed here without permission.

In addition, even if the police and the store manager have reached an agreement, the store manager may not know who will come here to cast a net when he agrees to help the police fish.

And Madonna was pretty sure the store manager liked her.

In this case, maybe the store manager will follow her excuse and drive out these police officers who broke into the house at night.

Although this way, she is bound to be suspected by the police. But the police had no concrete evidence that she was the murderer. Dog licking is very useful, as long as...

A hand suddenly placed on her shoulder, stopping her from leaning back.

Madonna was startled. According to her expectation, the old man should have leaned directly into the store manager's arms... Unexpectedly, the old man actually pushed her away.

Doubts appeared in her eyes, and she turned away from staring at the police, looking back with tears in her eyes.

But there is no sixty-year-old store manager behind him.

She met the face of a young man.

…

Jiang Xia looked at the murderous scent of Madonna's perfume and her shocked expression. He raised the hand on her shoulder and patted her comfortingly.

When he retracted his hand, he skillfully pulled out a strand of murderous aura that had been loosened by fright.

...The perfume-scented high-end murderous aura, although it smells good, does not smell much like food.

However, I have experienced the murderous smell of disinfectant water and formalin. Compared with these, the perfume can be considered a very friendly smell. Even if the ghosts don’t want to eat it…

Jiang Xia glanced down at the bed. The new cat is trying hard to stretch out its paws towards Madonna, trying to catch the murderous aura in her body... Well, if that doesn't work, you can also feed the cat. The cat's sense of taste is different from that of humans, maybe it just finds it delicious...

While thinking about it, Jiang Xia looked at the fanny pack on Madonna's side.

Madonna was startled, thought of something, and quickly raised her hand to cover it.

However, at this moment, the bulging quilt was suddenly lifted, and Conan jumped out quickly. He apparently hid under the quilt and observed it for a long time. When he came out, he went straight to Madonna's bag and unzipped it.

Madonna stood up suddenly and stretched out her hand to stop Conan. But just halfway through, Jiang Xia forcefully pushed him back to his original position. The hand she reached out to Conan was also taken.

Conan successfully took out a ball of plastic wrap wrapped together from his bag.

When he shook it open, he found a sharp kitchen knife stained with blood wrapped inside.

"How strange." Conan held the knife and said loudly, "How come there is such a thing in my sister's bag? Ah, I heard that the dead clerk was stabbed to death with a sharp instrument!"

Jiang Xia looked at Conan running towards the door and nodded secretly. The mini version of Kudo is so easy to use... Theoretically speaking, Madonna is still a serious citizen. The police and detectives could have gotten into trouble by simply reaching into her bag. But first-grade children will not be held accountable for such things, and they have a natural advantage in this regard.

As for Jiang Xia's control of Madonna just now...it was to stop her from committing violence against the child. This is called acting bravely.

…

The store manager appeared behind a group of police officers at some point.

He looked at Madonna in disbelief: "It's you...why do you want to kill me?"

Madonna kept her mouth tightly shut.

After a few seconds, he struggled tenaciously again: "I don't know what you are talking about - I have an alibi! Someone else asked me to bring that knife. I owe that person money, so I can only follow the instructions He said, hide the knife under your pillow."

... Then you just hit someone with a knife. Jiang Xia glanced at the innocently beaten pillow, and then at the innocently beaten ghost cat next to the pillow.

"We asked Grandma Aqing, and she said that she usually wakes up all night when she sleeps. But on the night of the murder, when you went to her house to spend the night, she slept until dawn." Jiang Xia said:

"Although she thought it was because you were with her, she felt more at ease, but on the other hand, it may be that you took sleeping pills and used this method to make her fall into a deep sleep and unable to detect your actions... In short, since She is asleep, so your alibi cannot be established."

"In addition, it is a long way from the park to here, and the deceased was stabbed in the heart. It is difficult not to leave blood stains on this kind of wound when carrying the body. Yesterday at noon, you went to the park to clean up the aftermath, right. Both sides of your car After this time, the remaining bloodstains and ruts are not as easy to deal with as you think."

"..."

It seemed that the "park", the real location of the crime, finally allowed her to break her guard. Madonna gritted her teeth and lowered her head, as if she suddenly lost her strength.

Jiang Xia let go of her hand and watched Madonna slip from the bed. She knelt down on the ground and punched the tatami angrily:

"Lao Yang and the store manager...these two bastards killed my sister! That is my only sister!"

"...?" The store manager was confused.

Several policemen looked at him suspiciously. He waved his hands repeatedly: "I have never killed anyone, I rarely even quarrel, let alone quarrel with young girls, I am already old..."

Madonna pressed her forehead with ferocious eyes: "On the night of my sister's birthday half a year ago, we were chatting and walking on the snack street. Two drunk men came across from us without paying attention. One of them suddenly raised his hand to touch the other, and then Neither of them could stand firm and knocked down my sister—that was you and Lao Yang, I will never remember it wrong!"

"Half a year ago..." The store manager was stunned for a while, and had a vague impression.

"My sister has a very good temper. When you apologized, she kept saying she was fine and let you go." Madonna said angrily:

"Unexpectedly, four days later, she suddenly had a severe headache, and soon died of subarachnoid hemorrhage... My sister was still so young. The doctor said that the impact may also be a cause of the disease.

"After the funeral, I remembered that two drunk men seemed to be talking about 'Madonna's selection' that night. I asked around, looking for them, and finally found this store. After that, it took me another six months to finally find it. Let them become love rivals to prepare for today's events...Humph, it's a pity that I only killed one."

She raised her head, her eyes no longer as gentle as before, full of cold murderous intent.

…

Because I didn’t become a store manager, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance in the future. When she was taken away by the police, all the murderous scent of perfume that remained on Madonna fell away.

When leaving the room, Jiang Xia walked at the end, waiting for the ghosts to gather their murderous intent.

Conan handed the murderous knife to the police, walked back to Jiang Xia, and sighed in a low voice: "Although the method of setting a trap is a bit unethical, it is indeed effective."

"..." Jiang Xia glanced at him. What's not moral? Isn't this what you did in another world line?

It's really effective. It's a little more murderous than usual. Kudo-san’s various operations are indeed worth learning...
