Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 468 The taste of being behind closed doors is so unfamiliar

   Jiang Xia felt that the truth was not what Haihara Ai said.

  ——Because the black-clothed couple just now had no murderous aura, and there were no ghosts in their house. In Jiang Xia's induction, the murderous aura was still on the upper floor.

   He would waste time talking to him just now because the couple in black were dressed suspiciously—sunglasses, black clothes, a stand collar and gloves, and they still lived in Rice Flower Town...

Thinking of the density of criminals in Mihua Town, Jiang Xia couldn't help trying to deceive them. If these two people happened to be dangerous criminals and knew him as a local detective, they were suddenly asked the topic of "killing". Perhaps out of guilty conscience and jealousy, a little murderous aura will be catalyzed...

   Unfortunately, during the questioning process, the murderous intent did not appear.

   Those two passersby were really just two passersby who happened to dress up like villains...

  Jiang Xia shook his head while Hai Yuanai was still waiting for the answer.

   In order to stop wasting time here and go upstairs as soon as possible to find murderous intent, he persuaded:

  "Asuka Shima is very slender and doesn't look like she's going to use an 11th ring. And the photo on her driver's license is from 3 years ago.

   "——From the ID photo, her body shape at that time was not much different from that of now, and she was even thinner. She should not have a ring of that size."

  Conan, who has been reading facial expressions for 17 years, also nodded: "I don't think so either. Since they know Jiang Xia, if they happen to be doing bad things, they should have some reaction to the famous detective.

   "But just now, Miss Asuka's expression was always natural. There was no fear, only surprise..."

   Although strictly speaking, the husband of another black-clothed man, Miss Asuka, does seem to be somewhat afraid of Jiang Xia, but this probably has nothing to do with a guilty conscience, but for other reasons...

  Conan converges his thoughts and clears his throat:

   "Anyway, let's go and see a few other families.

   "——There are some people who live in '×05' who didn't write their full names on the mailbox, only their surnames. Among these people, there may be 'Mr. M' and Miss 'A'."

  …

   Walking up the stairs, it was a little unexpected.

  ——There are several households who did not write their full names on their mailboxes, but posted their full names on the door.

   However, I found it all the way, but I didn't see the names of the couples that met the conditions.

   Soon we reached the sixth floor.

   The 6th floor residents are the kind of people who have their full names posted on the mailbox at the door.

   The couple are called "Uehara Akihiko AKIHIKO" and "Uehara Satomi MISATO". Although it matches "A" and "M", the opposite is true for men and women.

   So a few children passed by the 6th floor and planned to keep going up.

   But he found that Jiang Xia, who was walking in front, had stopped.

  Jiang Xia stood on the steps leading to the seventh floor, looked back at the corridor on the sixth floor, hesitated and said, "Go to 605 first."

   Before looking up from the bottom, it was not easy to determine the location. But now that they were on the same plane, the location of the murderous aura suddenly became clear.

  ——It's the 6th floor.

  Conan was startled, and blurted out: "Why?" He is currently playing a puzzle game, but he accidentally flips a lot of pages when turning the page, unfortunately, he is directly shocked by the reference answer. What's more concerning is that this reference answer is still not the same as what he thought...

   Jiang Xia glanced at Conan: Because I feel there is murder in it...

   Of course, the truth cannot be told.

  Jiang Xia walked back to the sixth floor, and seriously perfunctory Conan's question: "Because men and women are opposite."

  Haihara Ai is also very concerned about this issue: "...reverse?"

   Before she could understand, she saw that Jiang Xia had stepped down the steps and walked towards 605.

   So he hurriedly followed.

   Who knew that just after two steps, Jiang Xia suddenly thought of something and stopped abruptly.

  Haihara Ai was still distracted and thinking about the problem, she accidentally stumbled on Jiang Xia's heel and almost fell on his back.

   Jiang Xia grabbed the person with his backhand, gently put her forward, and said in a low voice, "You guys come knock on the door. If I knock, that person may not be able to open."

   "...Oh, good." Haibara Ai regained her footing and walked towards 605.

   When Jiang Xia silently leaned against the wall beside the door, she glanced at Jiang Xia, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

   Several other children were standing behind her sporadically, barely able to see through the cat's eyes.

  Jiang Xia listened to the knock on the door, and let Xiaobai squirm through the wall, and measured the thickness of the door.

  ——He was standing downstairs with a group of children just now, and he didn't know if the kidnappers in the room had noticed him.

  If the kidnapper sees him and resolutely dares not open the door, then he has to kick the door open... So you need to estimate the force in advance to avoid accidentally knocking out the person standing behind the door.

   In a coma, the murderous aura is not easy to drop. It's better to keep the kidnappers awake all the time...

  …

   However, the situation where the kidnappers pretended to be dead did not appear.

   After a few seconds, the door of 605 clicked, followed by a metal clatter—someone hung the door chain and opened the door.

   A fashionable figure appeared in the crack of the door.

   It was a young woman.

   She was wearing a well-fitting suit, expensive jewelry, and light makeup. She looked quite elegant and had nothing to do with the "kidnapper".

  The woman cautiously glanced through the crack of the door and saw only a few children, so she asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

  Conan was about to talk, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of shoes at the entrance—a pair of women’s round-mouth leather shoes.

He glanced at the pair of shoes, then at the shoes on the woman's feet, his thoughts flashed through his mind, and he blurted out, "The size of the shoes is wrong -- the shoes on your feet are bigger than the pair next to you, you are not at all Not a resident here!"

The woman's eyes changed, and finally she asked sharply, "Huh? I didn't say that those were my shoes! Are two women not allowed to live together? Discrimination at a young age? What school are you from, and what are your parents' names? "

  Conan: "..."

   A pot was slapped on his head, making him slightly stunned.

   But compared to the first half of the sentence, the last few sentences are also quite lethal-for children, "finding the school" and "finding the parents" should be regarded as devilish questions.

  Although Conan is not too afraid of this, but now he is used to being a child, and he is often trained with the juvenile detective team. At first hearing this sentence, his instinctive reaction is still scalp tingling.

  Since there is no quarrel, let's do it... Conan silently lifted the sight of the anesthesia watch, and by looking at the watch, he aimed the firing hole at the woman's thigh.

   But before he could fire, a hand suddenly stretched out and pressed on his watch cover.

   Jiang Xia pressed the watch back as it was. In order to prevent the murderous woman in front of him from falling into a drowsiness and affecting his efficient acquisition of certain products...

   After dealing with the hidden danger, he raised his head and looked at the person whose face changed suddenly inside the door.

  Jiang Xia is trying to learn Conan's habit, so let's start with a wave of reasoning to see if he can make the kidnapper think of silence.

   However, just after uttering a word, the door slammed shut.

   followed, and there was a sound of metal turning from inside.

   - The door is locked.
