Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 655 Deceitful Corpse!

Recently, the police in Gunma County found a man in red who had been dead for a long time in the Toushen Forest.

In order to facilitate identification, they published the deceased's belongings and characteristics on the Internet.

And those items aroused the suspicion of some melon-eating detectives—the deceased had car keys, but no driver's license.There were cigarettes, but no lighter. Besides, according to the time on the receipt, the man in red obviously died in summer, but he was wearing a thick sweater...

Various details led to the authenticity of the man in red's "suicide" being questioned.

The police then decided to come to the vicinity of Toushen Forest to inquire about the situation—even if the case could not be solved in the end, at least the attitude should be in place.

This is why Yamamura came here with a team of criminal police.

However, what the Yamamura Police Department did not expect was that his group had just arrived at the hotel, and they were stopped by the hotel staff before they had time to inquire about anything. After the staff saw them, they showed a relieved expression and told them , There was another "hanging suicide" dead upstairs.

……

"There is indeed a problem with Feng Shui here..."

Shancun Cao tightly held his police account as a talisman. At the same time, he looked at the criminal policeman who was following him, and asked in a low voice, "Speaking of which, on the way here, did you pay attention to the side of the road? Why didn't I look at it all the time?" To that 'Qiandao Jizo'?"

——"Qiandao Jizo" is a stone statue of Jizo lying face down on the ground, which is used to suppress the evil spirits in this "Head God Forest".According to legend, the person who lifts it will be haunted by evil spirits.

Shancuncao is very concerned about these supernatural legends. On the way here, he often chatted with his colleagues, telling them not to hold things itchy.Therefore, a group of materialistic colleagues were also indoctrinated with legends about "falling forward to the ground".

"I didn't see it either." The criminal policeman who was asked by him shook his head, "Maybe I missed it. Although the speed of the car was not fast just now, there are lush weeds in the mountains, and it may be covered by weeds."

"Really..." Shancuncao was still a little flustered, thinking that it was not a good sign that he had missed the artifact of suppression.

But no matter how much he cared about it, when he came to the second floor and saw many onlookers in the corridor, the face-saving mountain village police department could only temporarily stop this topic.He cleared his throat, straightened his neckline, and prepared to deal with this sudden "hanging" incident.

……

When several criminal policemen simply finished obtaining the evidence and were about to put the body down.

In the corridor, Yamamura cleared his throat and looked at the "passers-by" who had been driven out of the deceased's room by him, especially Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro who rushed to the side of the corpse: "Do you know the deceased?"

……

When the adults are talking.

Conan sneaked into the house relying on his low sense of existence at certain times.

Without those giant adults blocking his sight as a first-year kid, Conan finally saw the dead in the room clearly.

His gaze fell on the dead "Jiang Xia", and he had the same question as Mouri Kogoro - although he could barely see a bit of Jiang Xia's shadow, but the entire face of the corpse became severely deformed, and it must have been very painful when he died. pain...

Conan's face was solemn, his glasses crackled with a flash of hidden anger, and he was determined to bring this outlaw Toru Amuro to justice.

But at the same time, staring at the corpse in front of him, he always felt that something was wrong—is this really Jiang Xia? The deformation is too severe.

After a while, Conan suddenly remembered something, and his eyes fell on "Jiang Xia"'s hand.

Then startled.

—The left hand of the corpse, without the wrist guard.

"..." In my impression, when Jiang Xia tried to cancel her account a year ago, she acted very hard.He also left a deep scar on his left wrist.

Later, I don't know whether Jiang Xia thinks that scar is ugly, or it will bring back bad memories. He wears wristbands to cover it up all year round.

but now……

Conan suddenly had a doubt in his heart.

While the police were not paying attention, he ran to the corpse, carefully held up the corpse's hand hanging on the ground, and looked inside the wrist.

"..." There is no scar.

... This is not Jiang Xia!

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Conan's collar suddenly tightened.

Yamamura caught a sharp glimpse of the child who slipped into the murder scene, caught Conan, and carried him out of the room:
"Whose child is this, don't let him destroy the murder scene!"

As soon as Mori Kogoro heard these words, he had a vague premonition.Turning around, I saw that it was indeed Conan who was arrested.

He was still busy pinching his fainted daughter and couldn't spare his hand.

Just as he was about to shout out from the air, a crowd of onlookers suddenly moved over from outside the crowd.

The young man dressed in sunshine stretched out his hand, grabbed Conan skillfully like a cat, and took the stunned fake elementary school student from Shancun Cao: "Give it to me, this is my neighbor..."

Originally, I wanted to say "neighbor", but in the middle of the conversation, I suddenly remembered that Conan is now living in Maoli's house, and Maoli's house and Jiang Xia's house are not next to each other, so I continued the conversation: "The child of a friend's house on the next street."

"Take care of the children." Although Shancun Cao couldn't figure out why someone would bring the children of friends from the next street out to play, he finally found a guardian. "How could he sneak in to play with the dead body? It's very bad for the dead and him." ..."

As he spoke, Yamamura Cao looked at "the bear's guardian" and his voice weakened.

——As a policeman who is somewhat interested in solving crimes, Yamamura certainly knows a lot about various famous detectives.What's more, he had met Jiang Xia once before.

At this time, Shancuncao looked at the person in front of him who came to claim the bear boy, and his eyes became more and more familiar.

After a moment of sluggishness, I finally couldn't help saying the name I was thinking of: "...Jiang Xia?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xia nodded, put down more than a dozen kilograms, and carried Conan, who was a little tired, and then looked at the room surrounded by melon-eating crowd and police, wondering, "What happened?"

"..." Shancuncao looked at him, then at "Jiang Xia" who had hanged himself on the floor of the room, and then at him.

A second later, the theist policeman suddenly raised his hand tremblingly to cover his chest, and fell down without saying a word.

"...?" His criminal police subordinates didn't react, and it took a while before they rushed over in shock, "The mountain village police department!"

Amuro lowered his head and looked at the policeman who fell at his feet: "?"

...Could it be that he was frightened?

...What's the matter with this policeman.

……

Mori Kogoro was also attracted by the commotion at the door, he looked at the living Jiang Xia in shock, and was momentarily stunned.

Among the people who pinched their daughter for a long time just now, Kogoro Moori failed to wake them up.

Now suddenly stop the action, the operation just now takes effect with a delay.

Mao Lilan woke up and was stunned for a while.She rubbed her forehead, recalling what happened before she fainted, but when she looked up, she saw Mouri Kogoro's strange expression.
