Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 237
At this time, the mentality of other people is not easy.

"Whether it's the letter to get the wine, or the crossbow bolts installed in the wine storehouse... It's hard to bypass Xu Shengyi if you want to arrange all of this." Mu Mu police department frowned, feeling that things were getting more and more troublesome, "No matter what Whether the murderer teamed up with Xu Shengyi, or he has completely controlled Mr. Xu, this is not a good thing."

For the sake of caution, he suggested: "The current police force is only me and Shiratori—let's leave here first, and bring a few more people back to search when we reach the shore."

"It's okay, I've been busy so far, and I haven't eaten yet." Jiang Xia looked at his watch, seemed to support the proposal, and left the wine cellar first.

Others followed, planning to find the cable car.

But when they walked to the gate, they suddenly found that Jiang Xia seemed to have seen something by accident. He was staring at the restaurant and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Mao Lilan followed his line of sight suspiciously.

In the next second, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she let out a violent cry of "Aw!!"

——In the walls of the fish tank surrounding the hall, there was an extra corpse at some point.Under the bright light in the water tank, the corpse's face was clearly discernible, and he flowed slowly along the water.

"Xu, Mr. Xu?!"

Mori Kogoro was stunned, and ran over.

Jiang Xia approached the "fish tank", looked up at the corpse, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "There seems to be something pinned to his neckline, it should be... a poker card?"

……

It is indeed a poker card.

In the past, all the people who were attacked would drop a card representing their number, and the card on Xu Shengyi's body at this time was the same.

"It's... dead?"

Mao Lilan covered her mouth, trembling a little - in the previous few attacks, there was no homicide at all, but now, a dead person suddenly appeared in front of them, and it was still such a terrible death.

The nature of the whole case suddenly changed completely.

"Leave immediately! We will seal this place and conduct a search." A bad premonition surged in Mu Mu's police department, "I can't stay here any longer!"

However, it was too late to start serious at this time.

"The door was locked when I came..."

"I, my phone has no signal."

"Police, the phone line is missing."

"The escape route can't be opened! Looking through the gap, the back seems to be filled with cement!"

"..."

Unable to leave and unable to call for support.

Jiang Xia put down the phone in front of him without a phone line, sighed, and comforted everyone: "Running around will only waste your energy, let's find a place to rest first. Then we can discuss what to do next."

……

The underwater restaurant is very vast, even with only this floor, there are many rooms and passages.

"Maybe there are other exits hidden around." Mumu police department raised its head and drank a glass of juice, and said unwillingly, "Xiaolan, Miss Xiaoshan and Conan stay here to rest, and the others go nearby to find clues to leave !"

Jiang Xia responded and stood up cooperatively.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Conan who was trying to sneak into the adults' team, and handed him to Mao Lilan with an elder attitude of "this is for your own good!"

Then, facing Conan's resentful gaze, he found a direction that might be the exit, and tentatively walked there.

After walking for a while, the electric light above the head suddenly went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

—Someone pulled the switch in the dining room.

"..." Jiang Xia paused slightly, looked around in the dark, and skillfully grabbed a lucky ghost from his shoulder, "Lend me my eyesight."

Ghosts can see things smoothly even in total darkness.

Jiang Xia borrowed her eyesight, blinked, lost focus in the dark, and quickly refocused.

"what--!!!"

Just as he saw his surroundings clearly, a near-death panic scream suddenly came along the corridor.

Jiang Xia paused, and after a while, he turned around and ran quickly to the restaurant he left just now.

When they were about to arrive, there were a few footsteps in front of them—Kogoro Mori and Fairy Sawaki also ran over from different directions.

Kogoro Mori holds a flashlight.Looking at Jiang Xia head-on, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously asked this neighbor boy who always ran into cases: "What happened?!"

"..." Jiang Xia stopped, and silently pointed to the inside of the restaurant, "Take a look there."

I really know how to ask, I almost thought that this uncle was here to cheat his night vision ability...

……

The Mumu Police Department happened to be near the switch. After the power outage, he ran to the switch immediately and turned it back on, lighting up the entire restaurant.

A group of people returned to the restaurant one after another, looked at the ground near the door, and fell silent.

There was another fresh corpse.

——Koyamauchi Nana lay face down on the ground, staring at a pair of angry and terrified eyes, a large amount of blood oozed from the back of her heart, and she had lost her breath.

"After the power outage just now, my sister's fingernails in Xiaoshanchi suddenly glowed." Conan said suddenly, breaking the silence. He was also one of the three "weak people" who stayed in the restaurant just now. Most clearly:
"I was about to remind her to calm down, but sister Xiao Shanuchi rushed out in horror, and then I heard her screaming, and then..."

He sighed and shook his head.

This really doesn't look like the peace that a primary school student should have, but at this moment, everyone's thoughts are not here.

"Take Murakami is really hiding here, waiting for an opportunity to attack us?" Mori Kogoro's face was extremely ugly.In his opinion, Mr. Murakami had a grudge against him, and the attack and murder were all for revenge on him, and now, someone died because of it.

"Maybe it's not Jo Murakami."

Jiang Xia did not know when he came to the side of the corpse. He stared at the folds of the neckline of the corpse, and suddenly squatted down, following those folds, and pulled the clothes down a bit.

The smooth back was exposed, and Mao Lilan said "Huh!", and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes.After a while, she realized that Jiang Xia was just working hard to solve the case, and then she silently put down her hand and looked over with a serious face.

There was a purple handprint printed on Koyama Nanai's left shoulder—the murderer seemed to have grabbed her from behind and stabbed her in with a knife.
