Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 688 Gordon's heart skipped a beat

Sensing Jiang Xia's movements, Amuro Toru also looked at the pocket book.

Jiang Xia opened the page in question and handed it to him.

Conan is different from the two gangsters, he is a serious detective.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, he first looked at the corpse with all his attention.

After taking in all the information that can be observed with the naked eye, Conan straightened up and glanced sideways inadvertently.Since they were about the same height, they happened to see Jiang Xia's hand hanging by his side.The palm is darker in color, as if stained with...

A piece of blood? !
Conan was startled, subconsciously grabbed Jiang Xia's hand, and turned it over to have a look.

I saw that the casual glance just now was not an illusion, the stain on Jiang Xia's palm was really blood.

…just finished watching a bloodied corpse that had been stabbed to death.Turning around, he saw blood on the hands of his companions.

"..." Conan has read a lot of mystery novels, and he has also watched horror movies. The plots of such third-rate horror movies have never scared him once, but this time, he felt a solid thump in his heart.

In fact, it is hard not to spread the doubts about Toru Amuro to Jiang Xia.Even if Conan believes that Jiang Xia will not kill people, it is difficult for Jiang Xia not to be influenced by Toru Amuro.Moreover, Conan remembered that according to the approximate death time of the deceased, Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru had left the hotel during that time.

He looked up at Jiang Xia, and blurted out in shock: "You..."

"You got dirt on your hands!"

Beside, "Suzuki Sonoko" cried out in surprise.And before Conan could react, he took out a wet wipe from somewhere, and pulled Jiang Xia's hand twice.

The blood was gone.

Then she took out another bottle of disinfectant from nowhere, and sprayed it on.

Conan: "..."

He was speechless for a moment because of the speed of destroying the evidence.

But soon, with the interruption of "Suzuki Sonoko", the surprise at seeing blood stains subsided. After Conan instinctively made a series of assumptions, he had time to follow the process and make assumptions about himself one by one. Find the loopholes.

Then I realized that I was probably a little nervous just now, and was too influenced by the premise of "Amuro Toru has a problem", so I misunderstood things.

Toru Amuro was indeed suspicious, and the so-called entrustment did not sound right.

But as far as today's matter is concerned, if you think about it carefully, after Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru left the hotel just now, they actually went back again, and even ordered a table of local snacks for supper.

Even if Jiang Xia really killed someone, he must have washed his hands before eating. There is no way his hands are still stained with blood—the location of the blood stain is hard to ignore in the palm of his hand when there is light.

Beside, Toru Amuro glanced at Conan, and found that it was not his illusion.

——This kid is always surprised every time he meets him.How the hell is he a bad guy?
But on the other hand, maybe this shows that he played "Bourbon" well?
"It's the blood on it." Amuro shook the notebook Jiang Xia gave him just now, "Jiang Xia picked it up just now. There is blood on the back, as well as on the inside page. I also got a little on my hand."

As he said, he opened his hand and showed it to others, and it was indeed in the same place as the blood on Jiang Xia's palm just now.

Next to him, a policeman at the scene twitched his ears, ran over vigilantly, and grabbed the account with his hands: "How can you directly touch the evidence!"

Yes yes.Conan nodded secretly, Jiang Xia used to be regarded as a model detective in the eyes of the police, but today he directly touched the pocketbook.My intuition is indeed right, something is not quite right... I hope it's not the fingerprints that shouldn't be on the pocket book, so I have to take it again to cover it up.

His eyes looked back and forth between Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru, and finally fell on Amuro Toru's hand.

……

Suspicion is suspicion, but there is still an unsolved case in front of him after all.

According to Conan's usual behavior, even if Gin put a gun on his head now, after he panicked, he would instinctively spare part of his brain to think about the murderer.

In short, since Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru have no clues for the time being, it is better to think about the case in front of them.

Just now, when Jiang Xia picked up the pocketbook to check, Conan had already slipped to the side of the corpse and checked the situation briefly.

At this time, for Conan, the bloody handbook undoubtedly became a new clue.

It's a pity that it is now in the hands of the police. Even if it is put on the ground, only the back can be seen...

While trying to look up, Conan suddenly remembered—he had seen this pocketbook before. Before, when the dead assistant asked them to leave a message, he shook the pocketbook to them and asked them to read the writing on the back. "ホヅミ", which should be the pronunciation of his surname.

The police officer with the notebook looked at the physical evidence that had been handled by the two with mixed emotions.

But think about it, the person who tampered with the physical evidence is a detective, and he thinks this is not a big problem...

The police officer sighed and looked at Jiang Xia: "Where was the pocketbook when you found it? We didn't even see it..."

"It's there." Jiang Xia turned her head and pointed to the place two steps away behind her, "Half of it is buried in the leaves. When I passed by, I felt that the sound of dead leaves rubbing against the ground was wrong. I only found out after looking carefully."

By the way, provide information: "The position of 'April [-]st' on the inner page is stained with blood, which should be printed by the deceased. You can see the clear lines, you can compare the fingerprints. If this is the case, it may be his. Some kind of dying message."

"Oh." The police officer nodded and turned back to check.

While talking, the police leading the team came over, and asked after a few meters away: "How is it? Did you find any clues..."

Halfway through the conversation, the voice stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a change of tone: "Why are you again?!"

Jiang Xia was startled, turned around, and saw Shancun Cao - a confused police officer who didn't know if he was qualified as a policeman, but was quite qualified as a case attractor.

"Hmph, retribution! You have encountered so many cases are retribution!" Shancuncao looked at Jiang Xia, then at Amuro Toru, remembering that the three of them went to the dark bungalow in Toushen Forest to find clues, and the two bastard detectives ended up The thing about leaving him and running away, "You actually left the righteous police officer and ran away alone, no wonder you are so unlucky every day!"

"..." Jiang Xia looked at him with regret, if the reason for the murder case was really like this, things would be simple...

Suddenly, Shancuncao's back felt cold, and Ah Jiu sneezed.

He rubbed his nose, turned his head vigilantly, glanced at the viewfinder tree that looked particularly eerie at night, looked around for a while, but found nothing unusual, and finally wrapped his coat tightly in silence.
