Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 604 Leave a message before death and change to leader

Toru Amuro happened to be next to Jiang Xia.

Hearing what he said at this time, he also went around and looked at Qin Gai: "...Indeed."

At the same time, he frowned secretly, with some doubts in his heart.

...I always feel that Matsuda's speed of finding clues is a bit abnormal.

This room is not too small, except for the piano, the closet next to it, the balcony, behind the door... There may be clues hidden in many places, but Matsuda immediately went around to the other side to observe the piano cover.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, just now Matsuda's eyes hardly stopped at other places, and immediately came to the angle facing Qin Gai.

It's almost as if I knew there was a problem in advance...

"..."

Toru Amuro suddenly thought, this speed of "going against common sense" when looking for clues gave him a strong sense of déjà vu...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at "Jiang Xia" next to him, who was also leaning over to check the situation at the bottom of the piano.

Of course, because of the car explosion just now, this "Jiang Xia"'s reaction was a little out of character.Coupled with the fact that this case is related to Kidd, Toru Amuro suspects that the "Jiang Xia" next to him is actually Kidd disguised.

and so……

Could it be that Kidd disguised himself as Jiang Xia, and then changed Jiang Xia into someone else? ——For example, the young man in front of him who looks like "Matsuda" but calls himself "Kurosawa"?

This thought flashed through Amuro Toru's mind for a moment.

But when I think about it rationally, I feel a little ridiculous.

And this assumption is full of flaws.

First of all, in this case, when we played billiards together before, his sense of familiarity with "Kurosawa" can't be explained - Matsuda is not keen on taking pictures, and even less so on videos. It is difficult for others to imitate his small movements through videos .In other words, if someone really deliberately imitated Matsuda's every move, it should have been when Matsuda was still alive.

Jiang Xia was only 15 years old when Matsuda was bombed... Not to mention that Jiang Xia had no motive to imitate Matsuda.Even if there is, after 3 years, Jiang Xia's height is much higher than before, and her body shape has also changed accordingly. Even if she imitated it at that time, she must be different now.

Moreover, Jiang Xia has no reason to follow Kidd's suggestion and partner with this strange thief to cheat her boss... After all, Jiang Xia knows that "Amuro Toru" is not just an ordinary "Amuro Toru" who loves part-time jobs, but a dangerous "Bourbon" in the organization .Leaking out this kind of identity is a dangerous thing for him, Jiang Xia, and the person who is forced to hear the secret, and Jiang Xia has no motive to do so.

Toru Amuro: "..." Wait?
Think about it carefully, what is so tangled.

——Whether there is any disguise, pinch Matsuda's face hard and it will be clear.After all, things like Yi Rong are not resistant to tearing.

Thinking of this, Amuro couldn't help but turned his head, glanced at "Kurosawa" who was next to him and could be touched by reaching out, and moved his fingers.

But on second thought, according to his observation, there is also a camera in this piano room.

If Matsuda is really disguised by someone else, and underneath the disguise is a face that should not be seen by others...

Tsk, forget it first.

After that, find an angle that the camera cannot capture and tear it slowly, so as not to be seen by strangers with unknown positions.

……

Amuro Toru's expression control is very good though.But Jiang Xia has been working with him for so long, and now, he is very familiar with the boss's demeanor.

Jiang Xia also knew that the speed at which she found the clues was suspiciously fast...but what does that matter?
Now he's Uzo after all, and it's no surprise to know anything.

Even, if the brain monsters increase their power, they may think that this whole incident was planned by him, an innocent passerby.

…It’s really fun to play a trumpet, and you don’t need to explain if you are misunderstood.In the future, if we meet the scared person on a narrow road, maybe we can easily scare him to a murderous look.

As for what "Uzuo" and Jiang Xia have in common...

There are many kinds of geniuses in the world, and often there is more than one.Since there is a genius for solving crimes, there can also be a genius for crimes. The two find clues at about the same speed, isn't it very reasonable.

... The only problem is that, for some reason, when Toru Amuro stared at him, he felt a phantom pain on his face.Obviously the puppets don't feel pain.

...Forget it, it's not a big problem.

A puppet is different from a disguise, a solid puppet is not afraid of being torn, unless it is cut off with a knife, the flaws can be seen from the internal structure.

But the boss should not do that kind of crazy thing.Of course, if he did, he might not be far away from collapse.The broken boss can't be kept, he can only be tied back to make a murderous perpetual motion machine...

……

The two of them each walked away briefly.

Then quickly remembered the business again.

— On the sloping lid of the piano, there is a uniform wet stain, but there is not much water on the floor.This quickly reminds people of the small spray bottle on Guntian Ikumi.

If I remember correctly, Guntian Ikumi carried a bottle of luminol reagent with her, which she also used in the lobby just now.

The wet marks on the piano were probably sprayed on by her to check for clues.

Luminol reagent is a common tool for detecting blood stains. The strong oxidant produced by the combination of hydrogen peroxide in the solution and ferrous ions in hemoglobin can make the reagent emit fluorescence.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro suggested: "Turn off the light and have a look."

Kidd, dressed as Jiang Xia, responded, walked to the wall consciously, and turned off the light with a click—for employees, when you are with the boss, you have to take the initiative to grab work...

Kidd finished his errands quickly, feeling that he knew how to assess the situation.

Suddenly, Toru Amuro seemed to glance at him, with suspicion in his eyes, as if he had further confirmed something was wrong.

But after turning off the lights, the room suddenly fell into darkness, and it was difficult for human eyes to see the surroundings clearly for a short time, and so did Kidd.

For a moment, he couldn't be sure if it was true or if it was an illusion created by his guilty conscience.

After his eyes adjusted to the light, he took a closer look, but saw that Toru Amuro did not look at him, but was concentrating on the piano cover.

"..." Kidd hesitated for a moment, but he was still interested in the treasure after all, so he decided to get closer and find out.

...Although there is no evidence, his intuition tells him that he seems to have been exposed.

Fortunately, now, there is another murderer who killed the gourmet detective watching from behind the camera, and Kidd should only be the secondary target of these detectives.

Before the murderer is solved, he won't become the most conspicuous target, as long as he escapes in time, it's not a big problem...

……

As the surroundings darkened, the piano cover closed, and several lines of fluorescent text appeared.

——This is a line of blood writing, which has been tried to remove, but in the end it still left traces in front of the reagent:
[I finally hold the trump card of finding the treasure—Kyosuke Senma]
