Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1162 1162 [Don't let him approach the prisoner]

Holding the buckle and pulling it, the keychain in the small box was exposed.

It was a red statue - a military general with a beard reaching his waist, straddling a tall horse, and carrying a long-handled Yanyue knife in his hand.

Mao Lilan is good at history, and she is also very familiar with famous historical allusions. She said in surprise: "This is Guan Yu."

"The military general in the Three Kingdoms?" Yuan Shan and Ye had also heard of this celebrity, but at the same time they were very puzzled, "...why did you give us a Guan Yu?"

Mao Lilan liked this unique key pendant very much, and looked back and forth: "I heard that Guan Yu is also a god who can bless people's business prosperity."

"Hmm..." Yuan Shan and Ye stared at Guan Yu's horse and saber, "It doesn't look like it."

"The Qinglong Yanyue Knife and the Chitu Horse are both Guan Yu's standard equipment. It is said that this horse can travel thousands of miles a day and is very powerful." Mao Lilan put it on the table, "Okay, let's pack up the things we bought first."

In the Maori Detective Agency in Mihuacho [-]-chome, the atmosphere is harmonious.

……

On the other hand, before asking for the alibi, Jiang Xia and the others went to the Metropolitan Police Department with the police department of Gong Chang - they had learned about the case in advance, and when they asked again, they might be able to find out more crucial details.

The Gongchang Police Department quietly took out the evidence bags from the previous few times, put them on the table, and showed them to several detectives.

Transparent small bags, each containing a scarlet horse, with burn marks on it: "This is left in the [-]-chome of Lishan Town, the [-]-chome of Toriya Town, the [-]-chome of Okuho Town, and the ones I just got. Yes, the 'Red Horse' of Kubado-cho [-]-chome."

Several plastic horses are placed together, and the shapes look exactly the same.

It's just that among them, the first horse was burned extremely badly, and there was a scorched base under it, but none of the other horses had it.

Jiang Xia picked up the special bag, turned it over, looked at it, and fast-forwarded slightly: "It seems that there is a word 'rabbit'... plus the color of the horse, this is the famous 'red rabbit horse' .”

"That famous horse that appeared in the Three Kingdoms?"

Hattori Heiji quickly thought about it: "That Feng Shui master should be very familiar with this historical knowledge. And he also has a motive - if the house burns down, the cheating video tape hidden inside will naturally disappear along with it. Now Mrs. Zhujiao If he is dead, his cheating can be completely covered up."

Hearing the "motive" mentioned by them, Police Officer Fat Zhang couldn't help but feel a little worried: "But, he is not the only one who is suspicious. According to our investigation, the four people you provided who appeared near Zhujiao's house all have some certainty. motive for murder.

"—The parents of the deceased just passed away not long ago. They only had two daughters. Because the deceased recruited a son-in-law for the family, the parents left all the inheritance to her. Now when she dies, the huge property will be transferred. To her fortune teller sister's name.

"There is also the husband of the deceased. He is a psychiatrist. He has always wanted to sell the house in the family and build a hospital of his own, but the deceased is determined not to agree - the land was inherited by the deceased from his parents. Yes. In addition, there is no guarantee that the deceased will not know about the fact that the deceased had an affair. In this way, the motive will be more sufficient."

"Ugh……"

The police are most afraid of encountering such an enemy with a large number of dead, and the difficulty of handling the case will often skyrocket.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the dead seem to have this characteristic.

"Guessing randomly is not an option, why don't you just go to them and ask them." Hattori Heiji and Conan stood up eagerly.As detectives, their preferences are completely opposite to those of the police—the more troublesome the case, the more they can arouse their fighting spirit.

but……

"..." Suddenly remembering that Jiang Xia was still standing next to him, Hattori Heiji's interest suddenly weakened a little.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Jiang Xia, who had wandered to the window at some time, suddenly said goodbye: "You guys go, I remembered that I haven't finished my homework yet, so I'll go home first."

After speaking, he turned around and walked out. The set of movements was very natural and fast, and the other three people in the room did not recover at all.

Police officer Gongchang stayed for a while, then stroked the back of his head belatedly: "I almost forgot, you are still students... Well, why don't you go back to do your homework first?"

"...I finished writing on the first day of my vacation!" Hattori Heiji's eyes twitched, he really didn't want to bring up such things as "homework" that ruined the painting style when he was serious about solving the case.

"I don't have homework."

Conan also expressed his desire to continue investigating the case.

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, glanced suspiciously at the door where Jiang Xia left, then avoided the police, and whispered to Hattori Heiji in a low voice: "Jiang Xia didn't do homework at all, he was probably just making excuses just now. "

"!" Hattori Heiji was suddenly alert, "Could it be that he has found traces of important clues, and wants to find clues behind our backs and solve the case secretly?"

Conan: "...No." Although Jiang Xia must be secretly doing something behind their backs, it's probably not just for solving the case...

Conan thought of those miserable prisoners who suddenly disappeared with Jiang Xia and then reappeared suddenly;

Thinking about it again, the partner this time is not the policeman from the third department who has dealt with Jiang Xia all the year round and is familiar with his habits, but a relatively unfamiliar department... He began to regret that he hesitated just now and forgot to stop him.

"Hurry up and ask those suspects about their situation!" Conan stood up abruptly, "We must find them before Jiang Xia!"

……

However, it was different from what Conan thought.

Jiang Xia did run to one of the suspects, but he just had a little peaceful and friendly conversation.

Just now, Jiang Xia looked out of the window and suddenly saw the husband of the deceased—the psychiatrist walking out of the police station.

After all, the deceased had the closest relationship with him, so Zhu Jiaoming had to go through more procedures than the others, and he had just left at this time.

……

The Amuro Detective Agency happened to be near the Metropolitan Police Department. Jiang Xia was very familiar with the roads in this area, so he quickly stopped him by taking a shortcut, and greeted him friendly: "Hello."

"!" Zhu Jiaoming was distracted at first, but was suddenly stopped by someone, slightly startled.

He raised his head to see Jiang Xia, his eyes moved slightly, and soon returned to peace: "It's you, little classmate. What can you do with me?"

Jiang Xia showed a friendly smile: "It's nothing, I just ran into someone I'm familiar with suddenly, so to be polite, come over and say hello."

Zhu Jiaoming calmly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just halfway loosened, Jiang Xia suddenly heard Jiang Xia say: "But you seem to be panicking, why?—Could it be that you are hiding some important clues from us?"
