Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 294 Clay is different from clay
The buckets are usually sunk in the well, or placed beside the well.But now, the old wooden barrel was hung on the well rope, tightly clinging to the well wheel on the top, as if something heavy was falling from the other end of the rope.

These people from the Siuchi family usually live in Qunma, and they don’t encounter so many cases. They naively thought that something fell into the well, so they walked over without thinking too much, pulled the well rope, and planned to put the " Heavy objects" pulled out.

I thought it was most likely to fall into wild cats and dogs.

Unexpectedly, the younger brother, a man in his prime, was extremely laborious to pull.

Jiang Xia walked over to help.

With the unbearable creaking sound of the well wheel, the number of ropes thrown behind them gradually increased, and the rope at the end with the heavy object kept getting shorter.

Finally, at the end of the rope, a person who was almost folded in half was hoisted out of the well.

It's Machiko, the step-sister who went to the wedding banquet just now.

Her face was swollen, her mouth was wide open, and her eyes were round.The younger brother, who was one meter away, stared blankly at the corpse for two seconds, then suddenly let out a terrified scream, dropped the well rope and crawled away.

Jiang Xia didn't expect his teammates to be so unreliable, he was dragged a step forward by the suddenly heavy well rope.However, he stabilized quickly and pulled back the rope that had dropped a little.

From the eyes of others, it seemed that Jiang Xia didn't expect that there was a dead body hidden in the well.

Hiromi Uchi didn't run as far as her younger brother. She was already paralyzed by the horrible appearance of the corpse, lacking the physical conditions to escape.

Fortunately, her legs were weak, but her eyes were not yet. She quickly recognized the deceased and said in a trembling voice, "Auntie?!"

……

Soon, the police arrived and the body hanging from the well was put down.

Many clues are needed to restore the truth of the case, and the police are busy looking for it.

Jiang Xia observed from the side, and found that the physical evidence was scattered, even in the bottom of the well, so she decided to wait for the police to find it first, and then go directly to see them.

He himself walked around in the yard at random, and then leaned against the well to pretend to think, while his consciousness possessed himself among the puppets gathered in the Buddhist hall.

There was no one in the Buddhist hall at the moment, it was very quiet, only the faint ticking sound came from the cabinet.

Jiang Xia drove the puppet made by Xiaobai and took a closer look, and found that the cabinet was opened a crack, and there was a taut crossbow bolt hidden inside, as well as a simple timing device.

With the cooperation of the two, the crossbow will shoot in a certain direction at regular intervals.

This is a prop used to attack Siuchi Yifang, and the person who installs it is Kiuchi Keiko, the daughter-in-law of the head of the Siuchi clan.

Jiang Xia observed for a while, slightly adjusted the shooting angle of the crossbow, and then stuck a small piece of puppet clay on the timing device.

After doing this, they should have disbanded on the spot, but Jiang Xia stepped back and looked at the white puppet clay that was quietly attached, and suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu, so he held his hands in a strange posture Yihe muttered in a low voice, "Drink!"

The clay stuck to it quietly, without any response.

The timing device also continued to tick, tick, and tick, peacefully.

The eyes of the ghosts gradually turned from puzzled and nervous to puzzled.

Jiang Xia put down her hands as if nothing had happened, and closed the cabinet door in vain, not surprised by this result in her heart.

Sure enough, this is just an ordinary piece of clay, without some of the characteristics of the second class...

Fortunately, although it can't explode, at least within a certain range, it can change its shape and hardness under Jiang Xia's idea, and then trigger the timing device in advance.

After adjusting the device, Jiang Xia scattered the puppets built with Xiaobai as the prototype, and his consciousness returned to the body.

The main body opened his eyes, and brushed off the ashes on his body when leaning against the well, with a calm expression and orderly movements, he was still the calm and rational high school student.

……

At this time, the situation in the courtyard was a bit chaotic.

The number of police officers working overtime late at night is limited. Recently, there happened to be a flu, and many senior police officers fell ill. Therefore, the police officers who came here today were almost all rookies, and they were in a hurry when facing the murder case—especially the leading mountain village fucker. .

It was the first time that Yifang killed people in the false house, and he was a little flustered.Originally, he thought that if the police who came were more reliable and could solve the murder case smoothly, and find out the other person who sent the threatening letter by the way, then he would explain everything and go to the police station to solve the problem according to the procedure.

However, what I didn't expect was that the leading mountain village police officer, even if his reasoning ability was outrageous, would actually tremble at the corpse...

The righteous house in the fake house became more and more angry, so he took the Brazilian boy with him and planned to go back to the room to rest-although these policemen are unreliable, but with them, the other attacker should not dare to do anything for the time being, and he can sleep for a few hours for comfort , recharge your batteries and listen to the will tomorrow.

The two walked through the courtyard in chaos and entered the corridor, and their figures disappeared quickly.

A few minutes later, a long-haired figure looked at the direction they were leaving, struggled for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and couldn't help following.

This person is Keiko Kiuchi—she is the one who sent the second threatening letter, and she also set up the crossbow that Jiang Xia played with with the puppet just now.

As a person who is also short of money, Keiko Kiuchi actually understands the thoughts of his step-wife who died tragically.When she heard that "Uncle Yifang" had received more than one threatening letter, she suspected that her stepmother had also sent similar letters, so she faintly regarded him as a comrade in arms.

But now, the "comrade-in-arms" is gone, and the way of death is so absurd and horrible... Although according to the speculation of other family members, the murderer should be the suspicious person hiding in the side door, but Keiko Shiuchi is still a little skeptical about "righteousness" Uncle Fang".

Maliciousness is always easy to turn into interaction. In her opinion, the possibility of the "uncle righteous house" being targeted to act first is very low, but it is not zero.

However, to be honest, she is now secretly following Yifang to observe Zinei, rather than "to prove that the other party is the murderer", it is actually more like "to prove that the other party is not the murderer", so as to make herself feel at ease.

Only in this way can she believe that her stepmother's death was due to a feud elsewhere, and she dares to continue to attack the Yifang in the next step.

However, before Keiko Sakichi slipped to the door of the other party's room, when she was passing by the Buddhist hall, someone suddenly patted her from behind.

Jingzi's whole body shuddered, and he turned his head suddenly in the dark corridor, and saw a young man who was not familiar standing behind him, it was Jiang Xia.

She breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then she became vigilant again—because of a ghost in her heart, when Keiko Sui heard that Jiang Xia was a detective, she immediately searched for his information like Hiromi Sui.

The terrible achievements on the webpage gave her a certain understanding of Jiang Xia's speed in solving the case, and she was therefore full of fear.

Jingzi Yanai squeezed out a stiff smile, looked up at Jiang Xia: "...what's wrong?"
