Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 292 The Disaster of the Brain Ceiling (Monthly Pass Plus)
When Jiang Xia entered the room, a hot aroma came over his face.The hot pot on the table was gurgling, with tender tofu, shiitake mushrooms, beef and other ingredients stewed in it.

Jiang Xia sat down at the table and looked up at the watch on the wall.

It's almost eight o'clock at night.

In the living room of the house next door, there is a clock. Every hour on the hour, it will sound a low-pitched time chime, which can be faintly heard around the courtyard wall.

Thinking of this, and thinking of Yusaku Kudo who was circling outside, Jiang Xia leaned against the wall, facing the table, pretending to be distracted by staring at the food.

In fact, Akemi Miyano led Shikigami through the wall and built a puppet behind the house.

A few seconds later, the "Miss Anonymous", who was once loved by major newspapers, wore a long black dress, raised her wide-brimmed hat, and left silently along the courtyard wall.

……

The world-renowned mystery novelist, non-staff consultant highly respected by the police, the ceiling of the world's brain power, Yusaku Kudo, is currently wrapped in a thick trench coat exclusive to the villain, exploring and walking around the inner house.

As a smart person who has a lot of experience in "coaxing Kudo Yukiko", he knows that if he shows up now, he will only be disgusted by Kudo Yukiko, and he will even be scolded severely.

So choose a handsome enough time to appear on the stage - Yukiko's heart is sometimes like a child's, easily affected by various factors.In short, Kudo Yusaku felt that it was best to wait for Jiang Xia to start solving the puzzle, and then he would stand out and comment leisurely, to complete the part that the children failed to solve, and to be a hidden hero.

Originally, Kudo Yusaku wanted to use his son who secretly swiped his card without telling him as a stepping stone on the road to reconciliation-in the eyes of the innocent old father, this is what Conan should do.

However, to Yusaku Kudo's surprise, Yukiko didn't bring her son, but Jiang Xia, who had recently turned into a detective.

This made Kudo Yusaku fall into deep thought.

After thinking about it, he decided to follow the original plan. Of course, a few lines of ridicule should be removed as appropriate...

The prerequisite for achieving this effect is to grasp as many clues about "Uncle Yifang" as possible.

Thinking of this, Yusaku Kudo, wearing a chic windbreaker, turned into the inner house, and came out of the warehouse silently, intending to go in and search for the past letters of the inner family.

When the warehouse door was pushed open, the bell rang at eight o'clock in the evening.

The creaking of the wooden door was covered by the bell, and at the same time, it also covered up some other subtle movements.

Like the sound of approaching footsteps.

... Another example is the hand knife slashed from behind.

As soon as Yusaku Kudo walked in, he suddenly realized that the shadow under his feet was wrong. He was about to turn his head when he suddenly felt a pain in the side of his neck.

Yusaku Kudo's eyes darkened, and he fell down depressed.

Unknown who was following behind him grabbed him, dragged him into the warehouse, and closed the door behind his back.

The big and the small Kudo are equally good at martial arts, but they both like to be a mysterious and handsome lone ranger...

Jiang Xia unskillfully carried the big Kudeng he caught for the first time, and turned his head to look at the warehouse. There were a lot of sundries piled up here.

He quickly found a suitable place, dragged Yusaku Kudo to hide behind the sundries, and took an anesthesia shot.Prevent this brainpower wandering around from pushing things in a direction where it is difficult to pick up murderous aura.

For Jiang Xia, it has come all the time, it is really unreasonable to run so far without picking up something to go home.

Moreover, in the original plot line, Yusaku Kudo did not do anything in the middle except for running out to complete the information at the end, so he was stunned and stuffed into the warehouse, rounding up means that nothing has changed.Jiang Xia's conscience was alive and kicking.

It took a little time, after defeating Kudo Yusaku physically, Jiang Xia disposed of the anesthesia needle, then dispersed the puppet, and returned to the body consciousness.

In the bustling restaurant, he sat up straight, turned his head to look at his watch, then looked at the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, and praised a little exaggeratedly: "It's delicious, I feel like I can eat it with the pot."

Hiromi Suiuchi rolled her eyes with a pleased smile. Although it was mainly due to the hot pot bottom ingredients, she put them in. Rounding off her culinary skills was praised.

Hiromi Shiuchi gave Jiang Xia the chopsticks, turned the pot calmly, turned the side with the most beef to Jiang Xia's eyes, and said modestly: "It's delicious just because you're hungry—our side There are too many people, and dinner is later than most people." She said, she glanced at her watch, "It's already eight o'clock."

Kudo Yukiko looked at his watch and nodded in sympathy.It was indeed a little late for dinner, and she was actually very hungry.

Seeing where their eyes were heading, Jiang Xia confidently picked up two pieces of fish tofu and started to eat dinner.

The young reasoning experts in this world are very intuitive, but at the same time, they also have a weakness that cannot be regarded as a weakness - they attach too much importance to science and pay attention to alibi.

When Jiang Xia drove the puppet to knock Kudo Yusaku unconscious just now, it happened to be the time when the clock rang at eight o'clock in the evening.

And now, Kudo Yukiko's memory about dinner time has also been strengthened. If Kudo Yusaku wakes up and intuitively suspects that Jiang Xia knocked him out, then after asking Kudo Yukiko, he can only come up with "Jiang Xia at eight o'clock." I’ve been sitting in the restaurant before” answer.

In short, all bad things have nothing to do with Jiang Xia.

After solving his worries, Jiang Xia started the mode of waiting for ghosts while eating with peace of mind.

……

On the way to dinner, the stepmother Machiko, who was having fun at the wedding banquet, called back and told Hiromi Uchi that she had bought firewood yesterday and that she could boil water for everyone.

In this era when bathtubs are rampant, the bathing utensils of the Xi Nei family turned out to be a huge wooden barrel.

After dinner, the water is almost ready.

You have to pay attention to the order of bathing. 30 years ago, the uncle Yifang was the first one to take a bath every time, so now, the uncle of a friend pretending to be Yifang Yifang is also the first one to take a bath every night.

During the bathing period, he would leave the Brazilian boy in the hall. On the surface, it was to let the "bodyguards" keep an eye on other family members and prevent someone from going to the bathhouse to assassinate the "uncle of the righteous house". place, so that it is not easy to be plotted.

……

After dinner, on the way to take a bath with the fake uncle, Hiromi received another call from his stepmother, Machiko.

There was noise from the wedding banquet on the phone, and the stepmother said that she would arrive home at 11 o'clock in the evening, and hoped that Hiromi Uchi would help her keep the bath water warm until then.

After Hiromi agreed, she hung up the phone.

……

At the same time, in the woods next to the inner house.

A luxury car parked quietly.

In the car, the stepmother Machiko who was "attending a wedding banquet" put down her cell phone and pressed the tape recorder.

As the tape stopped running, the lively sound of the "Wedding Banquet" stopped abruptly, leaving only the sound of the wind in the woods in the car.

Machiko smiled coldly, put on her raincoat, picked up a kitchen knife and opened the door to get out of the car, ready to kill "Uncle Yifang" who was taking a bath.
