Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1048 1048 [Quickly find the bomb]

President Shiraki asked Ozaki Tsui in a deep voice: "I heard that you received a boring threatening letter?"

Ozaki Trinity nodded: "...Yes."

Okano Lixiang laughed, and looked at Shiraki Daisuke: "Such a small matter has been reported to you, and you all take it too seriously-I have said it many times, but some people are jealous of my talent and Achievement, that’s why I sent that kind of thing.”

"Yes, I think so too."

President Shiraki nodded approvingly, and looked at Okano Rika: "You just need to be clear in your heart. Anyway, don't delay the banquet tonight because of this kind of boring thing-I worked so hard to invite so many celebrities , not to let you release their pigeons."

"Do you need to say that?" Okano Lixiang frowned, "This is a banquet held for me, and I will definitely let it go on as usual."

The two hit it off and quickly reached a consensus.

……

President Shiraki seemed to have something else to do. After confirming Okano Rika's attitude towards the banquet, he didn't stay long and left soon.

Ozaki Sui breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the sofa.

When she looked up, she saw the three young people on the opposite side looking at the door. She introduced in a low voice:
"That is Mr. Daisuke Shiraki, who is Okano-sensei's patron and has always praised her avant-garde art."

"Praise? Hmph, he just thinks there are business opportunities here." Okano Rika kicked the stool under her feet, stood up, raised her middle finger towards the closed door, and cursed, "I thought I could buy it with a few filthy money." Art, that face is really disgusting - my flowers are not blooming for him, flowers should only bloom as they please."

While speaking, she stopped by the coffee table, turned her wrist, and suddenly there was a flower branch between her fingers.

The emerald green branches, connected with the buds that have not yet bloomed, were handed to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia was startled, and looked down at the flower. Conan and Suzuki Sonoko also looked over at the same time.

Under the watchful eyes of the three of them, the tightly closed flower buds suddenly bloomed, and the tender and bright petals stretched out one by one.

"Wow!" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up.

A second later, I suddenly felt something was wrong: "...Huh?"

Okano Lixiang smiled at her, and reached out to pin the flower on Jiang Xia's collar: "It doesn't matter what the threat letter is, you can check it if you want, but don't cause trouble for me."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Ozaki Tsui: "Go and prepare the things for the performance."

"...Okay!" Ozaki Cui came back to his senses, and hurriedly got up to follow her.

The two of them went out one after the other, and the door of the lounge closed with a click.

"..."

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Jiang Xia with a gloomy gaze, and then at the flower, not knowing whether to pick up the mobile phone to take a picture as a souvenir first, or to condemn that hateful artist who did things at will.

However, before she could settle down, Jiang Xia raised her hand and took the flower down.

He took out a wet towel, wiped the part of his neck that touched the flower branch, looked at the flower in his hand, and sniffed it closer: "It seems to smell like refrigerant."

"Huh?" Conan suddenly thought of something, took the flowers to study for a while, and then showed an expression of "so that's the case", "The mechanism that controls the blooming of flowers should be the refrigerant - first use the air conditioner to close the flowers, After a certain time, the petals will open again... Although the principle is not difficult, it is really powerful to come up with this idea."

Suzuki Sonoko stepped on his evaluation.

Jiang Xia, on the other hand, seemed not very interested in inquiring about other people's magic secrets.

He quickly stood up like a serious person, patted his suit, as if he had already put into work: "Let's go to the venue first."

Conan nodded, thinking the same way:

Since the intimidator clearly mentioned tonight's "banquet", no matter whether he appeared in person, killed people, planted a bomb at the venue, or other killing mechanisms, he would definitely leave traces at the venue.

Of course, the best result is that the threatening letter is really just a prank, so that no one will die at the dinner party.

Conan secretly prayed that today would be safe.

……

The three of them walked around the scene a few times, but this kind of investigation is obviously completely different from the usual reasoning of choosing one of three, four, or five.

Conan looked up at the people coming and going, and felt that everyone was suspicious, but after careful investigation, no one was so suspicious.

He finally sighed, looked away, walked to Jiang Xia's side, and tried to secretly flip through the reference book:

"Did you see anything?"

"This..." Jiang Xia rubbed his chin, turned his head to look to the side, his eyes were dignified with a bit of thought.

Conan was startled, and immediately became vigilant, turned his head quickly, and followed Jiang Xia's gaze.

I thought I would see a suspicious person with a wicked look.

However, it does not.

——At the end of the line of sight is a dining table, the height of the table is the same as the waist of an adult, and the tablecloth is covered with a tablecloth that reaches the ground.

It happened that a lady passed by dragging a long skirt, and the breeze caused the tablecloth to shake slightly.

"It's not easy to catch a suspect who deliberately disguised himself among so many people. Since there is no gain in this aspect, I think..."

Jiang Xia squatted down, leaned close to Conan's ear, and said in a low voice, "It's better to look for bombs and other lethal objects—I always think it's easy to hide things under the table."

Conan made a little noise.

He looked at the dining table covered with tablecloths, then at his own height, and finally met Jiang Xia's expectant eyes: "..."

"Haha, it looks like I didn't bring you here for nothing today." Suzuki Sonoko also understood Jiang Xia's meaning, slapped Conan on the forehead, and said in a deep voice, "Go, detective machine!"

Conan: "..."

He stared at the two old classmates who abused child labor condemningly, and didn't want to talk to them.

However, after thinking about it, it seemed more and more reasonable—what if there was really a bomb hidden under the table?

Conan raised his head to estimate the number of people in the banquet hall, and finally sneaked into the tablecloth under the cover of Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko while no one was paying attention.

……

After some investigation, unfortunately... No, luckily, there is nothing strange hidden under the dining table.

Conan sighed and crawled out from under the table.

He was about to tell Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko about his achievements.

As a result, when he looked up, he saw a person who looked like a secretary standing next to the two classmates.

"You are that famous detective." The secretary clicked his glasses, stared at Jiang Xia, his eyes sparkled, "Well, I have something to trouble you..."

When Jiang Xia heard this talk, she felt that she understood something—it seemed that she was here to ask for an autograph.

So he skillfully took out an autographed business card and handed it over.

——Of course the signature cannot be given for free.

No matter what, you have to exchange the other party's own business card.
