Conan’s Corpse Picker

   "So it is."

  The Otaki Police Department has experienced too many murders recently, and his mind, which is not very fast, moves more slowly.

   Hearing Jiang Xia say this, he didn't think much about it. When he looked at the vodka again, the suspicion in the police department's eyes disappeared, and there was only a trace of disappointment: a person who was thinner than this man in sunglasses, caught a lot of people on the street, this clue really has no reference value. It would be better to do it the other way around...but I can only write down this feature first.

   Vodka peeked out of the corner of his eye and found that the police were watching him, from being full of suspicion to gradually becoming calm. Not only did he not feel relieved at all, on the contrary, he became tense with a sense of crisis.

  Vodka: "..." Uzo said he wasn't suspected, but the police simply believed it.

  … Then what if Uzo said he was suspect?

   As a member of the organization, even if he is only "suspected", he faces the risk of being silenced - it's just that this method is too straightforward and lacks artistic sense, so Uzo doesn't use it often. And if one day, Uzo abandons the principle...

   Vodka froze, as if he had seen that terrible future.

   He silently pushed his sunglasses and decided to hide as far as he can from Uzzo when he decides to place an order in the future. He always pays attention to the opponent's position when approaching, and is determined not to let the mistakes made tonight repeat.

  …

  When vodka silently fills in the blank knowledge about Uzo.

Next to   , it was completely different from the picture in his mind. The detectives and the police were still working diligently to solve the case.

  Although a large group of witnesses who came out for shopping at night could not see who the figure was who escaped from the murder scene in the dark, after all, there were enthusiastic detectives present, and there were still many clues left at the scene.

  So soon, the Otaki Police Department got other extremely useful information.

"You saw the crime scene at 7:30, and immediately called the police. At this time, the deceased on the ground was already dead." The Otaki Police Department looked at the contents just written down in the small notebook and confirmed to several people, "And Before that, around 7:10, when you left the hotel, you saw the deceased going out?"

   Jiang Xia nodded.

  Otaki Police Department breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, the matter is very clear. The time of death of the deceased is between 7:10 and 7:30. The murder weapon is also a prop in the filming crew..."

   He turned to several of his subordinates: "Get the crew and ask them who did not have an alibi during that time!"

  …

The    hotel is not far from the shrine.

   Not long after, a group of people from the crew came to the vicinity of the shrine. They looked at the corpse on the ground with expressions of fear, shock, or panic.

  Otaki Police Department listened carefully to the relationship between the members of the crew, slapped his forehead, and suddenly had inspiration:

"The murder knife used in the murder case was taken from the crew. The blood left by the deceased and the words 'コマイヌ' was written, which means the stone statue at the entrance of the shrine. Combining these two points, the identity of the murderer has been It's very clear. At the same time, the only one who has an intersection with the crew and the shrine is the assistant who lives in the shrine!"

   "...Me?" Taeko Mazugaki was startled, his face was ugly, and he waved his hands again and again, "I did leave for a while, but that was just to get things home."

Beside   , her fiance's assistant also stepped forward and stood in front of her: "Taozi won't kill!"

  Kinoshita Yoko knew them well and testified in a low voice: "When we went out to buy things just now, we not only met the deceased who was going out, but also met Taeko at the gate - she has an alibi."

  “…”

  Mao Lilan looked at the Otaki Police Department, tilted her head in confusion, and whispered to Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko: "I don't know why, this police officer looks very kind when he solves the case."

   Jiang Xia looked at the Otaki Police Department, and nodded slightly: ...it has a bit of the charm and style of Maori Kogoro.

   "...Oh, so there is an alibi. I'm sorry, there are too many people in the crew, I'm confused." Otaki Police Department shamelessly cleared his throat and moved away from the topic.

   He turned and urged his subordinates who were examining the murder weapon: "Extract your fingerprints as soon as possible!"

   The subordinate shook his head in embarrassment: "The police department, there are no complete fingerprints on it - from the rough traces, someone has specially wiped it."

As a professional who is often responsible for cleaning the tail, Vodka glanced at the knife and snorted: The murderer is really a stupid waste - just take the knife and throw it into the river bottom in the distance, it is better than wiping the knife again. Is it better to throw it on the spot? Without this knife, the scope of the murderer is infinitely expanded, unlike now, the murderer is immediately locked among the crew members... No, wait.

In the middle of the criticism, Vodka suddenly came to his senses: I am afraid this is not something the murderer can control himself, but through some channels that are difficult for ordinary people to detect, he has been hinted and influenced by Uzo, so he deliberately left the knife. Crime scene.

  —Otherwise, if the police really went outside and cast a wide net, and then couldn’t solve the case for a long time, it would be too bad to watch as a murder drama, and Uzo wouldn’t allow this to happen.

  Vodka: "..." In addition, when the murderer left the knife at the scene, he was definitely not thinking "someone asked me to leave the knife", but that he left the knife "voluntarily"...

  Thinking about it, a possibility came to vodka's mind.

  —Could it be that the murderer wanted to use this knife to put the name "Murderer" on the rest of the crew?

  "..." No wonder there were so many actors on stage this time that he couldn't even remember them. The plot seems to be quite complicated...

Next to him, Otaki Police Department's gaze swept over Vodka inadvertently, and couldn't help but be startled: This trainee detective was thinking so intently, and from time to time he showed a little "I see!" I know what "Mr. Yamada" has speculated, but at least there is no problem with his attitude.

  …

  Otaki Police Department is, after all, a policeman who often cooperates with Hattori Heiji, and has a lot of experience in how to get along with detectives.

   At this moment, thinking of the two detectives next to him, he was determined and decided not to speculate, but to give the detectives a little more information and wait for them to spit out the answer.

  So the Otaki Police Department tidied up the notes on the notepad and started to check everyone's alibi:

"During the time I was talking about, there were people who were not there, alone... eh? There were only two - only this assistant who was hanging out, and the one who didn't live with anyone else and went to the hotel alone. Actors. Can you tell me what you were doing?"
