Corpse collector in Conan

Hearing Curacao sneezing, the enthusiastic detective nearby looked away from the crime scene and turned his head to look over: "Are you cold?"

Curacao looked at him suspiciously: "..." Did you just plot against me in your mind?

Jiang Xia was stared at by her, showing an innocent and confused expression.

Curacao suddenly came to his senses and stopped talking to him. Instead, he quietly moved away and walked around to the other side of Mrs. Sunda.

Then she tightened her coat and looked at the Xun family mansion in front of her.

This is the residence of the "Lawyer Xun" who came to Jiang Xia to discuss his wife's affair at noon. Coincidentally, it is right next door to Furukawa's house.

Just now, when the group of them finished solving the Furukawa family's case and were tiredly preparing to return to the hotel, a mournful cry came from the mansion next to them.

——Lawyer Xun came home from work and found that his wife had been killed in the bathtub.

So the policemen who were just about to get off work turned around and came back to work overtime, and they who were just about to leave had to stop because there was a famous detective among them who was eager to help the police solve the case.

The police quickly sealed off the mansion and began collecting evidence at the scene.

Among the busy police officers, Curacao stood numbly in the yard. Police cars were parked side by side outside the yard, and red and blue police lights flashed across, illuminating her face.

This color scheme would have put Curacao on high alert and immediately planning an escape route in his mind.

But now, she desperately found that she had begun to get used to it: there were too many police officers she had seen recently.

"No, cheer up. This must also be Uzo's conspiracy." Curacao quietly bit the tip of his tongue, trying to clear up his brain that was hit by one case after another. "If my sensitivity to the police decreases, I will go to What should I do if he uses this to trick me?"

She had to be alert to the police at all times, just like she was now.

...but she is surrounded by police all the time.

"It's just Uzo's little trick, we can't just give in." Curacao took a few deep breaths silently, "Isn't it endurance? I have plenty of it."

…

Jiang Xia glanced at the aloe vera that flickered on and off, and then at Maya Hashimoto who was leaning at the gate pretending to be dead. She found that there might have been a lot of cases recently. The two of them were not used to this kind of work, and they didn't even have murderous intent. It was strong before. Even if it falters occasionally, it will quickly shrink back.

Jiang Xia sighed and suddenly thought of another person.

Jiang Xia: "..." Speaking of which, where is the boss?

I promised to follow them nearby, but why didn't I show up this time? He must not have run away midway, that damn paddle monster.

After silently making a mental note to his unmotivated boss, Jiang Xia stopped wandering around and entered the room - no matter what, a qualified detective would never ignore a murder case presented to him.

...so do psychics.

…

Lawyer Xun has a good income and a large house. This made the police busy collecting evidence everywhere.

Jiang Xia stepped into the entrance hall, passed through a group of wilting police officers, and entered the hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa. He was pressing his temples painfully and his expression was very sad.

The Megure Police Department was sitting next to him, comforting him and understanding the general situation.

Seeing Jiang Xia come in, Mu Mu's eyes lit up.

...but recently he was really tired from running around the scene, so he could only show a short-term vitality like a light bulb with bad contact.

He stood up, sighed tiredly, and guided Jiang Xia: "The place where the body was found is the bathroom, right over here."

If it were a normal scene, the detective would probably rush directly to the body to confirm the situation.

But this time, detectives and police were present at the same time, so of course the police had to go in first to fix the evidence.

At this time, Jiang Xia followed the Mumu Police Department into the bathroom and saw several black and white positioning signs next to the expensive bathtub. There was a young woman lying in the bathtub.

The woman's hands and feet were tied, and her mouth and nose were covered with a heavy cloth. Her back was against the wall of the bathtub, her legs were curled up, and she was lying on her back in the bathtub. This person had obviously been dead for a while, and his body was quite stiff.

Jiang Xia understood something: "Is this Lawyer Xun's wife?"

Maya Hashimoto: "?!"

When Jiang Xia passed by the door just now, he pulled him in easily. When Maya Hashimoto heard these words, he immediately remembered the young female voice he heard when he answered the phone for Lawyer Tatsumi in the hotel.

Maya Hashimoto: "..."

...Is he still dead after all?

He had guessed before that the "Mrs. Xun" on the phone might be a recording left after his death, but who knew it wasn't. So he thought he was overthinking it...who knew it wasn't the case!

Wait, if you calculate it this way, there was one incident the day before yesterday, two incidents yesterday, and three incidents today...

As he counted, Hashimoto Maya silently got goosebumps: That terrible thing... Well, that resourceful and scheming boss seemed to have heard his speculation and used his life to complete the sequence. .

Will it be four tomorrow...

Maya Hashimoto slapped herself on the face, interrupting the terrible conjecture: Stop thinking about it, what if Uzo realizes it again!

It’s better to think more about world peace in your mind.

The Mumu Police Department was taking people to see the corpse when they suddenly heard a crisp sound behind them. He was startled, and when he turned around in shock, he found that the new detective assistant Jiang Xia had brought was beating himself.

Memu Police Department: "...are you okay?"

For a moment, Maya Hashimoto wanted to nod vigorously and ask the police uncle to save him from the misery.

But looking at this group of policemen who were being fooled and who were diligently helping Uzuo deal with the aftermath every day, he could only silently push back all his thoughts: "It's okay, it's just that I talked to this lady on the phone at noon. The thought of people dying in the blink of an eye - the thought of how unpredictable things can be, makes me a little bit overwhelmed and regrets that I couldn't help her."

Mu Mu Police Department: "..." You actually slap yourself for someone you have never even met. You are such a nice person.

But this new news made him startled: "Have you contacted this lady at noon?"

Maya Hashimoto nodded numbly.

After clicking, I suddenly felt something was wrong: this sounded too much like a suspect.

Maya Hashimoto could only cheer up, and quickly elaborated: "Actually, Lawyer Xun wanted to ask Jiang Xia to entrust him with something, and I also went to study with him. It happened that when Lawyer Xun was in the bathroom, Mrs. Xun called him. Just let me pick up the phone and give him a few words."

Jiang Xia nodded to confirm his statement.

"I see." The Megure Police Department actually didn't doubt Maya Hashimoto, but since this man insisted on explaining, he couldn't stop him.

He continued what he just said: "The deceased's name is Xun Hemei, the wife of Xun's lawyer. She was 27 years old this year. The cause of death was strangulation and suffocation - alas, everyone was tied into rice dumplings. This time it was definitely not suicide."

Maya Hashimoto: "..." Heh, he said it as if he had committed suicide before.
