The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 85: Are you hanging up

My daughter-in-law had just broken a cabinet of pottery, and she felt guilty. She prepared dinner with extra effort.

The guests were still praising the young lady for her calmness and ability. Unexpectedly, in the evening, after a few glasses of wine, the young lady’s image was shattered.

She looked at Jiang Xia and exaggeratedly sighed: “You are so lucky, my father-in-law won’t live for a few years, and his hands are shaking recently. I’m afraid it will be difficult to make masterpieces like ‘Feng Shui Pills’ in the future. That pot of yours will surely appreciate in value soon.”

The apprentice didn’t sound right, and wanted to persuade her to wake up, but was stopped by Kikuemon, the old man said helplessly: “She’s right, I can only make two or three decent works a year now. It’s really nothing compared to before.”

Amuro Toru was originally talking to another apprentice, and when he heard Kikuemon’s words, he was suddenly startled: “Two or three? But last year, it didn’t launch more than ten…”

The drunk young lady suddenly came up to Amuro and interrupted, “Don’t talk about the pottery! Tell us more about the cases you’ve solved. The detectives are the protagonists today.”

An Shitou glanced at her thoughtfully. After a while, he dragged Jiang Xia, who was sitting beside him playing with the clay pot, and handed it to the young lady: “He broke it all, let him tell.”

Then he turned his head to continue the cliché.

Jiang Xia stared at the young lady who almost touched his face: “…”

The young lady had a good time drinking, and didn’t mind the change of person in front of her.

She reached out to grab Jiang Xia and laughed, “Tell me more! Although you have solved very few cases, I’ve been tired of hearing it over and over, but I’m still idle anyway, and it’s fine to listen to you again. .” He said and touched his face.

Suzuki Sonoko glanced here inadvertently, just in time to see the young lady’s movements, her eyes suddenly became fierce, she turned around and wanted to pounce, but was hugged by Ma Lilan from behind.

Mao Lilan persuaded in a low voice: “Calm down, auntie should just express closeness, not to wipe oil!”

On the other side, Jiang Xia looked at the young lady speechlessly. Even with this amount of alcohol, I dare to drink…

But at the same time, he also knew that the young lady was actually not overly drunk. She suddenly interrupted Amuro Toru’s question just now, deliberately – she didn’t want to mention the number of pottery.

In recent years, Kikuemon has only a few works, but the number of “Masterpieces of Kikuemon” sold is far higher. This is actually because the young lady colluded with a certain apprentice, disguising the apprentice’s works as Kikuemon’s works for sale.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia glanced at the murderous apprentice not far away. He remembered that this person was also the son-in-law of the old grandfather named Meinong Zongzhi in the pottery classroom.

Judging from the appearance of the young lady’s body, the apprentice’s target of killing is probably her.

This family’s relationship is really messed up, but that’s how more ghosts can be brewed.

Jiang Xia took a sip of juice with emotion.

The party continued until late at night, and the young lady was sent back to her room early because she fell too drunk.

Others continued to eat and drink. When they were tired from playing, they slept in the dining room. The place was covered with tatami mats and there were many blankets.

…

The next morning, Jiang Xia woke up in chaos.

He politely inquired and learned that the young lady was dead – she “hanged herself” in the warehouse this morning, and she was still warm when she left.

Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko leaned together with complicated expressions, but their reactions were much smaller than before. They were actually a little used to frequent murders. And this time, the young lady walked more peacefully, leaving behind at least the whole body.

When Jiang Xia came to the warehouse, the police had already arrived.

This time, it was finally no longer an old acquaintance, but an unfamiliar male police officer with coral-like hair and a square face.

After the Henggou Police Department saw Jiang Xia, his expression changed slightly, and he wanted to come over, but in the end, he still retained his majesty as a police officer and stayed where he was.

——In this world, detectives are generally well-known. In private, the Henggou Police Department is actually chasing famous detectives like chasing stars.

However, the island country is more concerned with qualifications. In the face of a strange detective who is much younger than him, the Henggou police department is still a bit pretentious.

Jiang Xia didn’t know why the policeman kept staring at him. He looked at the coral head of the Henggou Police Department, and soon lost interest in this peculiar hairstyle, and turned to the crime scene.

Before Jiang Xia arrived, the others had arrived, and the detectives conducted a brief search of the scene.

When Amuro saw him enter the door, he walked over and whispered, “It’s a little strange—her cervical vertebra is broken.”

People who commit suicide by hanging usually die of cerebral hypoxia, and a small number of them will die of cervical vertebra fracture, but from the perspective of the young lady’s body shape and hanging position, her cervical vertebra fracture is not natural.

Jiang Xia’s “reasoning” is now very proficient. He nodded and said in a normal voice: “Maybe the young lady didn’t step on the clay pot to hang herself, but was first wrapped around her neck by a rope, and then passed from the cabinet next to her. It fell off the top.

“If it’s suicide, there’s no need to be so fancy, so it’s probably a murder – like someone took her to the top of a closet while she was drunk, and put a hanger around her neck. The rope ring, when the young lady woke up this morning, she turned over and accidentally fell from the top of the cabinet, breaking her cervical vertebra.

“In this case, the murderer is probably Mr. Minosufu. When he turned around just now, I saw a lipstick print on the back of his inner shirt. At the dinner last night, the young lady had been sitting on my back. Next to me, Mr. Mino was opposite me. After that, the young lady was sent back to the room by Mr. Otani. There should be no contact between the two. Therefore, the lipstick mark should have been printed in a more concealed situation – such as In the middle of the night, when Mr. Mino carried the drunk young lady to the top of the cabinet.

“Ah, look, there is a protruding iron nail on the top of the cabinet, and there is a wound on the young lady’s calf. Maybe she was scratched by the nail when she fell.”

The Henggou Police Department has been listening to Jiang Xia’s reasoning with his ears pricked. At this time, he reacted quickly, ran to the nail and looked at it, and then said excitedly: “There is really a bit of skin here!”

Amuro Toru: “…”

Also found suspicious, slipped over to find Jiang Xia to discuss Conan: “…”

Others: “…”

…This reasoning speed is unscientific!

One of the apprentices looked at Jiang Xia dully: “Did you get up in the middle of the night~IndoMTL.com~ saw the murder…”

“He didn’t!” Suzuki Sonoko interrupted, “I was afraid that the young lady would touch him in the middle of the night and look for him, and hold his arm all the time. If Jiang Xia goes out in the middle of the night, I will definitely find out!”

Apprentice: “…” What kind of image does the young lady look like in your eyes!

Although Suzuki Sonoko’s testimony sounds unreliable, in fact, even if there are no witnesses, everyone else thinks that Jiang Xia will not kill the young lady in order to solve the case – after all, this is a Go up to the high school detective with a sense of justice.

Only Amuro doesn’t trust Jiang Xia’s conscience in this regard.

However, Amuro didn’t actually slept much last night – in his concept, there might be a “dangerous person trying to eavesdrop on the organization’s secrets” hiding nearby.

Therefore, Anshitou is most certain that Jiang Xia has never gone out with Mino Sufu – it can be seen that the reasoning Jiang Xia just said is not a simple retelling of what he saw as his apprentice said, that is true It was Jiang Xia’s reasoning a minute after entering the warehouse.

In the past, An Shi had seen through the reports of Jiang Xia’s case, but it didn’t feel real. After all, the murderer had written it in bold letters in the title, and there was no suspense in reading it.

But now, he and Jiang Xia have the same information, and even arrived at the scene earlier than Jiang Xia, but when he just judged that “this is not like suicide”, Jiang Xia has already pushed the murderer out… /

It was the first time that Toru Amuro experienced the apprentice’s talents.

…it was a wise decision to let Jiang Xia come here for a part-time job.

And such a talent was almost shot to death by the organization as cannon fodder…

An Shitou had another account in the thick book of vengeance in his heart.
