Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1221 [Bermode: Don't let it go, there are too many]

Afterwards, Dr. Tanaka said leisurely: "The cause of death of the deceased was indeed drowning, not thrown into the sea after being killed by someone. The time of death was around ten o'clock last night. The tissue fluid extracted from the digestive tract is still being tested—— But I have to remind you in advance that even if the ingredients of sleeping pills are detected, it is not uncommon for people who want to commit suicide to take drugs to strengthen their courage, or to ensure mortality."

"Last night at ten o'clock..."

Gao Mawei glanced at Jiang Xia, and whispered, "Was it when I went to the izakaya to find Dr. Tanaka? I remember that you and your companion were also there."

Jiang Xia didn't expect that she still remembered herself, so she nodded.

Conan rubbed his chin, feeling that the timing was a coincidence.

He looked at Dr. Tanaka, and said in a very innocent way: "Last night, you deliberately found fault in order to attract Brother Jiang Xia's attention, so that he could confirm that you were in an izakaya and had no time to commit crimes?"

Dr. Tanaka thumped in his heart, and soon, he looked at Conan with terrifying eyes: "I just can't understand his kind of kid who tells the police and doctors what to do just because he has solved a few cases."

But having said that, when the police and other doctors looked at Dr. Tanaka again, they couldn't help but think a little more in their eyes.Something about the doctor's behavior is really not quite right.

Katsuyoshi Tanaka noticed this, snorted coldly, and simply pushed his glasses sloppily, ignoring him.

He said to himself: "In short, that night, I have been drinking at the izakaya with my colleagues-I have a clear proof of absence, and I have no time to rush to the beach to kill people."

Conan saw him smiling slyly and confidently, so he couldn't help but continue to say in a child's tone: "Wow, what a coincidence that he was not present! I remember that there were many suspects like this before, and many of them were arrested. Brother Jiang Xia sent him away." Of course, before that, they were trampled and beaten by Jiang Xia, but there is no need to mention this kind of thing in front of the police...

"..." Doctor Tanaka stared at him with gloomy eyes, wanting to threaten him a few words, but he didn't know where to start.

Next to him, the policeman interrupted with embarrassment: "Well, let's wait for the test results of the digestive tract fluid, it should come out soon. We will see the specific situation at that time.

……

After the inconclusive discussion meeting ended, several people left the office one after another.

"Doctor Tanaka is too suspicious in terms of motivation and attitude."

After leaving the police station, Conan murmured to Jiang Xia in a low voice while organizing his thoughts: "But his alibi does exist. According to experience, this should be because the time of death was confused in some way, or some kind of setting was set. Timed death device..."

Jiang Xia: "..." Why can't it be another possibility - he has accomplices?
But unfortunately, this simplest method actually has the lowest probability of occurrence.

In fact, Jiang Xia doesn't mind encountering this kind of case, because in this way, after the murder case, there will usually be another case of "mutual mutual killing of accomplices", and the harvest is usually three times or more murderous...

Just as they were thinking, they suddenly saw a familiar person in front of them.

——Teruhiko Kasuga, that black-skinned man driving a speedboat, was standing alone at the door of a small shop selling seafood, looking down at the products on the shelf with great interest.

When Jiang Xia and Conan passed by, Kasuga Teruhiko heard footsteps, raised his head and glanced this way, and the two sides just looked at each other.

Jiang Xia casually said hello: "Only you?"

"Yeah." Kasuga Teruhiko laughed heartily again, which he seemed to like very much, "She said she was very angry, and then left by herself—that guy is really small-minded, and he always quarrels with me for no reason stand up."

Conan: "..." Was that inexplicable just now?
It would be strange not to be angry...

……

After all, the two sides are not familiar with each other, so there is not much to say.

It happened that there was a beach nearby. Thinking that the female corpse was fished out of the sea, the two detectives decided to go there to collect clues.

As soon as they walked in, they saw Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko squatting on the beach, picking up something on the ground, and whispering something.

Jiang Xia and Conan walked over curiously.

As we got closer, we heard Suzuki Sonoko's happy voice:

"There is such a romantic thing as a floating bottle! Hehehe, it's fate to pick it up, let me see who sent it... But, why only use an empty mineral water bottle to pack the letter? I thought Could it be a more beautiful glass bottle, is it because you are worried about accidentally breaking it while floating in the sea?"

She was about to open the bottle and see what was written on the note inside.

Before he could make a move, the two heads suddenly moved closer, staring at the note inside the bottle through the thin plastic wall.

"!" Suzuki Sonoko was taken aback, and after a closer look, she was an acquaintance, and she was relieved, "Your meeting is over? Is the murderer that doctor?"

"It feels like it is, but we still need to find evidence." Jiang Xia pointed to the bottle in her hand, "The words on the note don't look like they were written with a pen, but more like they were drawn with colored stones. Most people You wouldn’t write a drifting bottle like that.”

"...Huh?" When he said this, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly felt that the drifting bottle in his hand became strange.

She thought of the "female ghost" with fluttering hair on the bottom of the sea just now, and shuddered: "There won't be another case."

When Jiang Xia heard the "case", she looked serious: "Open it and see."

The paper stuffed into the bottle, not tied with anything.At this point it has unfolded and it is difficult to pour from the bottle.

Jiang Xia touched his pocket, found the magical pen from the organization, turned it around, and a blade popped out from the tip of the pen, like a sharp scalpel.

He took a pen knife and started cutting the bottle.

Although it was said to be a product of the organization, Jiang Xia secretly confirmed later: This is not a mass-produced thing, but more like something made by the researcher himself, so don't worry about being recognized by others as coming from the organization.

Of course, if it is exposed, it is not a big problem: there is no need to explain to the black side, but to the red side, it is said that it was given by the boss of Amuro, and to the Amuro...well, it is said that it was given by "Amuro Toru".In this way, if Toru Amuro has any objections, he will only go to Belmode.

Although Belmode has a slender waist and doesn't look strong, but he can carry the pot really well...

Jiang Xia gave a thumbs up to this bottle of paddling wine, which is very useful at critical moments.

……

With a slash of the knife, the "drifting bottle" was quickly broken into two pieces, and the water-wet note inside fell out.

When I unfolded it, there were only a few crooked characters carved out of stone on it:
[SOS
Sachiko]
