Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 468 The taste of being closed is so strange

Jiang Xia feels that the truth is not what Hui Yuanai said.

——Because there was no murderous look on the couple in black just now, and there were no ghosts in their room.According to Jiang Xia's perception, the murderous intent was on the upper floors.

The reason why he wasted his time going over to talk to him just now is because the couple in black are really suspiciously dressed—sunglasses, black clothes, stand-up collar and gloves, and they live in Mihua Town...

Thinking of the density of criminals in Mihua Town, Jiang Xia couldn't resist trying to scam them. If these two people happened to be dangerous criminals and knew him as a local detective, then they were suddenly asked about the topic of "killing people". Perhaps out of guilty conscience and fear, a bit of murderous intent will be catalyzed...

Unfortunately, during the questioning process, the murderous intent did not appear throughout.

Those two passers-by were really just two passers-by who happened to be dressed like villains...

Jiang Xia shook his head towards Hui Yuanai who was still waiting for an answer.

In order to stop wasting time here and go upstairs to find murderous intent as soon as possible, he persuaded:

"Asuka Shima has a slim body, it doesn't look like she needs to use a ring number 11. And the picture on her driver's license is from 3 years ago.

"—From the ID photo, her body shape at that time was not much different from what it is now, and she was even thinner. She shouldn't have a ring of that size."

Conan, who has been reading emoticons for 17 years, also nodded: "I don't think so either. Since they know Jiang Xia, if they happen to be doing bad things, they should have some reaction to the famous detective.

"But just now, Ms. Asuka's expression has always been very natural. There is no fear, only surprise..."

Although strictly speaking, the other man in black—Miss Asuka's husband does seem to be a little jealous of Jiang Xia, but this probably has nothing to do with guilty conscience, but for other reasons...

Conan restrained his thoughts and cleared his throat:
"Anyway, let's go and see a few other families.

"—Some people who live in '×05' did not write their full names on the mailboxes, but only their surnames. Among these people, there may be 'Mr. M' and Miss "A"."

……

Walking all the way up the stairs was a bit of a surprise.

——There are several households who did not write their full names on the mailboxes, but posted their full names on the door.

However, along the way, I didn't see the names of married couples who met the requirements.

We soon reached the sixth floor.

Residents on the 6th floor are the type of people who have their full names posted on the mailbox at the door.

The couple are called "Uehara Akihiko AKIHIKO" and "Uehara Satomi MISATO".While matching the "A" and "M", the gender is reversed.

So a few children passed by the 6th floor and planned to continue going up.

But he found that Jiang Xia, who was walking in front, stopped.

Standing on the steps leading to the seventh floor, Jiang Xia looked back at the corridor on the sixth floor, hesitated and said, "Go to 605 first."

Before looking from bottom to top, it was not easy to determine the position.But now that they are on the same plane, the murderous intent suddenly becomes clear.

——It is the 6th floor.

Conan was taken aback, and blurted out: "Why?" He felt like he was playing a puzzle game, but when he turned the page, he accidentally turned too many pages, and unfortunately saw the shock of the reference answer directly.What is even more concerning is that this reference answer is not quite what he thought...

Jiang Xia took a look at Conan: because it feels murderous inside...

Of course, can't tell the truth.

Jiang Xia walked back to the sixth floor, perfunctory Conan's question in a serious tone: "Because men and women are reversed."

Hui Yuan Ai is also very concerned about this issue: "...is it reversed?"

Before she could figure it out, she saw that Jiang Xia had stepped down the steps and walked towards 605.

So he hurriedly followed.

Unexpectedly, after following two steps, Jiang Xia thought of something again and stopped abruptly.

Hui Yuanai was still distracted thinking about the problem, accidentally tripped on Jiang Xia's heel, and almost fell onto his back.

Jiang Xia grabbed the person with her backhand, gently put her in front of her, and said in a low voice: "You guys knock on the door. If I knock, that person may not be able to open it."

"...Oh, good." Hui Yuanai regained his footing and walked towards 605.

When Jiang Xia silently leaned against the wall beside the door, she glanced at Jiang Xia, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Several other children stood sporadically behind her, barely able to see through the cat's eyes.

Jiang Xia listened to the sound of knocking on the door, and let Xiao Bai squirm through the wall, and estimated the thickness of the door.

——He was standing downstairs with a group of children just now, and he didn't know if the kidnappers in the room had noticed him.

If the kidnapper saw him and was determined not to open the door, he would have to kick the door open... so the force should be estimated in advance to avoid accidentally knocking the person standing behind the door unconscious.

In the coma state, murderous aura is not easy to drop.Best to keep the kidnapper awake...

……

However, the situation where the kidnappers played dead did not appear.

Within a few seconds, the door of 605 clicked, followed by a metal clatter—someone opened the door with a chain on the door.

A stylishly dressed figure appeared through the crack of the door.

It was a young woman.

She was wearing a well-fitting suit, expensive jewelry, and light makeup. She looked quite elegant, and she had nothing to do with a "kidnapper".

The woman cautiously peeped through the crack of the door, only seeing a few children, so she asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

Conan was about to say something, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of shoes placed in the entrance—a pair of women's round-toed leather shoes.

He looked at the shoes, then at the shoes on the woman's feet, his thoughts flashed, and he blurted out: "The shoes are not the right size-the shoes on your feet are bigger than the pair next to you. Not a resident here!"

The woman's eyes changed several times, and finally she asked sharply, "Huh? I didn't say they were my shoes! Are two women not allowed to live together? Discrimination at a young age? What school are you from, and what is the name of your parents? "

Conan: "..."

He was slightly taken aback by the impact of a pot on his head.

However, compared to the first half of the sentence, the following few sentences are also more lethal - for children, "find the school" and "find the parents", this should be regarded as a devil's question.

Although Conan is not too afraid of this, but now that he is used to being a child, he has often been trained with the Boy Detective Team. When he first heard this sentence, his instinctive reaction was still scalp numbness.

Since you can't argue, let's do it... Conan silently lifted the sight of the anesthesia watch, and aimed the firing hole at the woman's thigh by looking at the watch.

But before the launch, a hand suddenly stretched out beside him, and pressed on the cover of his watch.

Jiang Xia pressed the watch back as it was.To prevent the murderous woman in front of him from falling into a coma and affecting his efficient acquisition of certain products...

After dealing with the hidden dangers, he raised his head and looked at the person inside the door whose face suddenly changed.

Jiang Xia was trying to imitate Conan's habits, so first, let's do a wave of reasoning, and try to see if he can make the kidnapper think of silence.

However, as soon as he uttered a word, the door slammed shut.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of metal turning came from inside.

—The door was locked.
