Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 357 Anonymous must be a goldfish (joint chapter)
Of course, when confronting the police, Conan kept part of the truth, only saying that the murderer who killed Councilor Tunkou was probably among those who were issued a purple commemorative handkerchief.

The murder of a congressman under the watchful eyes of everyone is undoubtedly a major case.

Although the police couldn't detain all the guests, they only found seven people to cooperate with the investigation, which was barely enough.

Soon, the police began to look for the above-mentioned people according to the list of seven people provided by the front desk.

Although the list does not include photos of the guests, those who can receive invitations to this memorial service are more or less famous, and they can be found by searching the Internet.

Just now, Miwako Sato was also looking for someone.

When she passed by the banquet hall, she accidentally glanced inside and saw Jiang Xia.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed Pisco who was following Jiang Xia—in the impression of Miwako Sato, this old man was named Kenzo Masuyama, and he happened to be one of the seven people who received the purple commemorative handkerchief.

There were seven people in total, and she caught two of them at once.

However, when Miwako Sato crossed the banquet hall and chased from the main entrance to the side entrance, Jiang Xia and the old man had already entered the winding and deep corridor.

Sato turned off at the corner and was a little late.

Fortunately, in the end, she found someone in time... Thinking of this, Miwako Sato led the way, and couldn't help taking a sneak peek at Pisk, who looked like he had just been beaten severely, emphasizing in her heart, um, just in time.

In short, the two people who had been assigned purple handkerchiefs were detained by the police and led to the same room.

In order to avoid exposing his suspiciousness, Pisk could only cooperate with the investigation quietly.He looked at Jiang Xia from time to time, his wrinkled face squirmed from gritting his teeth fiercely, his face looked ugly as if he had just swallowed someone alive.

……

Different from the routine questioning that Pisk thought, this time, the police not only did not let them leave, but also did not allow them to communicate with the outside world.

Pisk thought of Shirley stored in the wine cellar, and he could only comfort himself to the villain Jiang Xia who had delayed his time in his heart: Fortunately, he locked the door before leaving.

Apart from the gate, the only connection to the outside world in that wine cellar was a chimney with a width of more than one meter.

Adults may be able to support the wall inside the chimney and barely climb up along it, but with Shirley's current size, it is absolutely impossible.

And Pisk remembered that he was in a hurry to capture Jiang Xia and left his laptop in the wine cellar.

There is a transmitter installed on that computer.

Now that his communication is blocked, Qin Jiu and others will definitely follow the locator to find it.

Even, before the gin, another member of the unknown organization present will rush over to help clean up the ending... After all, who is this unknown member? He is too good at paddling. Always support him, but no one can be seen the whole time, tui!Tissue borers.

Although his mood had already fallen to the bottom, Pisk took a general look at the current situation and felt that the problem was not a big one. At most, he would give some of the credit for what he was about to get to his teammates... Thinking of this, he reluctantly suppressed his unhappiness. Sit down on a stool and wait for the police to ask.

……

Although the Megure Police Department has detained relevant suspicious persons in accordance with Kudo Shinichi's request.

But after that hasty conversation, he found that Kudo Shinichi actually had no idea for the next step, and the evidence was far from complete.

It's just that if this is the case, these people can't be detained for too long...

Thinking about it, Mu Mu Police Department couldn't help but turn to Jiang Xia again.

Among so many guests, there were only seven people who had been given purple handkerchiefs, and Jiang Xia was one of them.

Since Jiang Xia himself fits the characteristics of "being issued a purple handkerchief" that Kudo Shinichi cares about, he may be more aware of the "key point" where the key is.

Even though alcohol hurts people, Jiang Xia is not in shape today, but the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse... and Mumu Police Department thought about it, and felt that according to Jiang Xia's performance on weekdays, his speed of solving cases was so fast that it was almost like some kind of instinct What if he could really see through the murderer's real body?

The more Mumu Police Department thinks about it, the more interesting it becomes.

He leaned over and brought Jiang Xia back to his senses, who was looking out of the window with half-open eyes, who seemed to be watching the snow scene.

Then whispered to him the ins and outs of today's incident.

Finally, I did not forget to add in a low voice: "If there is anyone among these six people who you think is suspicious, don't say it directly, just tell me secretly."

Those who can sit here, even if they are not big dogs, are at least elites from all walks of life.

In case Jiang Xia's reasoning is wrong, it would be too offensive.

And if the reasoning is correct...it will offend people even more.

What I am most afraid of is that the reasoning is correct, but no evidence is found. In this way, I always feel that Jiang Xia will be accidentally killed soon because of "you know too much".

In short, even if the murderer is to be announced, they have to wait until the police actually catch him.

……

Inexplicably, Jiang Xia was given a spoiler for the version of the police department with a mutilated head.

He listened, pondered for a moment, and nodded - anyway, now he has found an excuse not to solve the case, no matter what the Mumu police department said, he just agreed first, and then paddled the water.

After fooling the police department, Jiang Xia continued to turn his head and look out the window.

Looking down from the window here, you can have a panoramic view of most of the road.It is convenient for him to judge the timing of slipping to the wine cellar.

……

in the wine cellar.

Hui Yuanai was gradually awakened by the hard floor.

She raised her hand to cover her eyes in a daze, and looked through her fingers at the ceiling which was higher than the ordinary room.When her eyes fell on the old chandelier on the ceiling, countless memory fragments quickly jumped out and joined together, awakening her memory.

Hui Yuanai suddenly remembered the murder in the banquet hall, and the unknown person who took her away after the banquet hall was lifted.

She sat up in panic, turned her head and looked around, and found that she was in a strange room.

The room occupies a large area, the walls are old, the edges are pasted with wooden wall panels with simple patterns, and there are many display cabinets with wine bottles in the middle.

It's a dilapidated wine cellar.At first glance, there seemed to be no one else in the room...

Hui Yuanai was still in shock, watching with some doubts.At this time, the tips of her ears moved slightly, and she heard something in her pocket calling her name intermittently.

She reached in and touched it, and took out a tan badge the size of a thumb.

This is the badge of the Detective Boys made by the doctor.

Today, in order to catch Conan, Haibara Ai took the coat hanging by the door when he went out.

She has been staying at home for a long time, and this coat was worn when she went out with the elementary school students last time. She put the badge in her pocket and forgot to take it out.

On the other hand, Conan didn't have time to put on the badge because he was in a hurry to pry Gin's car.

After discovering that Hui Yuanai was missing, Conan first tried to find Jiang Xia among the crowd, and wanted him to help.But I couldn't find out where Jiang Xia was, and I couldn't get through the phone.

Conan had no choice but to try his luck to find the doctor.

Dr. A Li was still driving a small Beetle, waiting on the nearby snow-covered street.

Conan asked him to try to contact Hui Yuan Ai's badge, and was surprised and lucky to find that Hui Yuan Ai actually carried it.

However, it may be because the badge is running out of battery, or the signal is not good. This badge should have a positioning function, but the signal points displayed on the screen flutter from time to time. around the city.Its communication function is also limited to a certain extent, and I don't know how long it can last.

in the cellar.

Hui Yuanai silently stared at the badge that shouted from the air.After hesitating for a while, he picked it up and answered a few simple questions, and told the people in the car what he had observed.

After that, she got up, walked to the door of the wine cellar, raised her hand and twisted the doorknob.

Finding that the door was locked, Hui Yuanai was silent for a moment, losing the highlight.

Facing the badge, she whispered sadly: "The drug-related information and the organization information I know are all stored in the hidden folder of the computer. The doctor knows the password. After the organization takes my body away, you can try to use Those data to study APTX4869 and its antidote.

"In addition, after this incident, there will be more insiders who know that it may cause adults to become smaller. You can't be so leisurely in the future. Be careful not to implicate Jiang Xia and the doctor... Well, I have to say It's all over, let's go, don't contact me again, you will be implicated."

"...Wait!" Conan's eyes twitched.Affected by the signal, Hui Yuan Ai's voice was very intermittent, but the pessimism like last words was conveyed unabated.

Can't go on like this...

Conan worked hard to enlighten, trying to arouse Haibara's desire to live:
"It's not time to give up yet! Jiang Xia is also at the Puhu City Hotel today. If he finds out that you died next to him, he will definitely start to investigate this matter seriously. With his ability, it won't take long to find out. The existence of the organization, and the deeper he investigates, the more dangerous things will be... Even for him, for us, you can't just die like this."

Haibara Ai:"……"

The first half made her heart twitch.

In the second half, it gradually became a lot of slots and wanted to vomit.

...Every time I think of Conan calling for the man in black, and Jiang Xiatian passing by him every day, but he doesn't notice, Haibara always feels that the name "Detective Kudo Shinichi" is mixed A lot of water.

However, what Conan said gave her other worries after all.

——Once the organization discovers that she has been living outside in the form of a child for so long, and that she is clean and well-groomed, the organization will definitely realize that someone has taken her in.

Regardless of whether it was for the sake of secrecy or pure revenge, the organization would strictly interrogate this.There are so many messy means in the organization, and there are things like Veritaserum, in case she can't make it through and accidentally leaks relevant information...

The bloodbathed Mihua Street, the dead bodies of acquaintances all over the ground, and the bloody self slowly emerged in Hui Yuanai's mind, breaking out in a cold sweat.

She belatedly realized that the result of being captured by the organization was not as simple as "being killed" as she thought just now.

... If she wants to avoid the torment of those tortures and not hurt those who helped her, she has only two ways to go now—either die immediately, or find a way to leave alive!

Hui Yuanai turned his head slowly and bit by bit, staring fixedly at the sharp corner of the table.

After a while, he silently turned his head and looked at the chimney in the corner.

Then his eyes began to wander back and forth between the corner of the table and the chimney, his eyes flickered, hesitating.

A few meters away, in the shadow of the top floor of the wine cabinet, Miyano Akemi was lying on the spread puppet clay, nervously rubbing her translucent Q-shaped cuffs nervously from time to time, looking at her with a posture that could fall from the sky with her skirt at any time. she.

At the same time, Conan's voice came intermittently from the badge, and he introduced the current situation - the police have detained suspicious persons and prohibited them from using communication tools.As long as the "Piske" among them is found and captured before the detention time ends, Hui Yuan Ai will be safe for the time being.

Huihara Ai silently listened to these situations, silently felt some kind of staring that seemed to come from heaven, and fell into deep thought.

...Actually, if you have to escape, it seems that you can't escape.

Her gaze finally stopped on the chimney in the wine cellar, her little hands covered with floor dust groped into the inner pocket, and slowly grasped a small box in the pocket.

The chimney in the wine cellar is indeed difficult for children to climb.

But if it's an adult size...

Hui Yuanai gritted her teeth, made up her mind, took out the box that was slightly warmed by her grip, poured out a capsule from it, and swallowed it with difficulty.

This is one of the temporary antidote for APTX4869.

In the middle of the night before, the child who rescued her to the doctor's house on the day of her defection and called himself "Xiaobai" once climbed the window sill of the doctor's house and brought her a bottle of "Old Baiganer".

At that time, Xiaobai told her that people who have been reduced by APTX4869 can temporarily return to their adult size by drinking this "Laobaiganer" when they have a cold.

At first, when he heard the name of the wine, Hui Yuanai thought it was made by Xiaobai's father or grandfather, and therefore suspected that it was actually some kind of phased research result of Anonymous on APTX4869.

After careful investigation, it was determined that this was just a normal wine with a long history, and the Anonymous people seemed to have discovered its efficacy by accident.

In short, according to the wine and information provided by Xiaobai, Hui Yuanai developed some temporary antidote after several experiments.

She didn't tell Dr. Ali and Conan about this.Because when Xiaobai gave the wine, he also said that these things should be kept strictly confidential. Even if there is a result, the antidote cannot be given to anyone other than Anonymous.

Therefore, after Hui Yuanai achieved some staged results, he has been waiting for Anonymous to come to him.

In addition, from the perspective of Xiaobai and the anonymous who looks like her sister, anonymous people seem to have the habit of disappearing, so she usually brings some antidote with her when she goes out, so that she can hand it over when they meet on narrow roads.

However, after such a long time, no one came to look for her, and no one came to climb the window of her house in the middle of the night, as if they forgot about it... The antidote I carried with me is now in handy .
