Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 743

With Mori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko present, the ambulance and police car always came faster than usual.

The Mumu Police Department quickly brought people to arrive.

When he arrived in the yard, he looked at the open space with a serious expression, and first saw Conan who was looking for clues at the scene.

The corner of Mumu Police Department's eyes twitched, trying to drive this overly daring kid away from the scene.

But before he could speak, someone approached from behind.Mu Mu Police Department turned his head and saw Jiang Xia.

"..." It's been a long time since I've seen this efficient detective, and I miss him for a while.In the past few days, I don't know if it was because Jiang Xia was on a business trip, but he always felt that there were fewer murders in Mihua Town than usual.But less doesn't mean zero - with the comparison, the Mu Mu Police Department has a clearer realization of how agile Jiang Xia usually solves the case.

"How is it, Brother Jiang Xia." Mu Mu Police Department quickly approached, pricking up his ears to hear the spoiler, he asked in a low voice, "Do you have any ideas?"

"..." Jiang Xia also reminded him in a low voice, "I left for a while just now, and I just came back now, so I need to look for possible clues."

"...That's right." Mumu Police Department nodded.

So he ran to the corpse again and urged the investigators: "Try to hurry up."

Today's manpower is not enough, Sato Miwako took people to deal with another murder case.

If his side ends early, maybe he can recommend Jiang Xia to go there for a walk... Good detectives, let's hang out together.

……

The autopsy soon had preliminary results, and Minagawa Katsuhiko died of pesticide poisoning.

The police also conducted tests on physical evidence next to the body.

The first thing to come out was the plate of chocolate that fell next to the corpse and had been bitten twice—it was mixed with pesticides.It was sent by Watanabe Komi.

"Why did you kill him?!" Guan Guxiang overheard the conclusion, and looked at Komi Watanabe angrily, "Today is Valentine's Day, if someone you like gives him chocolate, he will definitely eat it—you rely on him liking you, give him He poisoned? How could he be sorry for you!"

Komi Watanabe was very innocent, sobbing: "I, I didn't..."

The man with glasses was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on his face.

At this time, another policeman also ran over holding the evidence bag:
"Police, there is poison in the smoke!"

Guan Guxiang looked over again in embarrassment.

She liked the dead, and she cared more about this murder case.Hear this new lead.Guan Guxiang quickly remembered the key point.

She left Watanabe Haomi behind and glared at the man with glasses: "He's finished smoking his own cigarette, and when he went out, he took the cigarette you handed him!"

The man with glasses sighed, like the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He straightened his back and admitted it directly: "Yes, it was me who poisoned me - I hated him for a long time, he has been playing me for a fool, and ruined your precious heart. Hmph, he used to always forget I bought cigarettes, so I put poison on the filter, unexpectedly today, he just asked me for cigarettes..."

"..." Jiang Xia watched for a while, and before the Mumu Police Department walked towards the man with glasses and said the sentence "Please come with us", he said, "Only the filter tip of that cigarette is poisonous?"

The inspector and the man with glasses were startled, and subconsciously nodded at the same time.

"Then don't rush to take the blame."

Jiang Xia pointed to the evidence bag, and dragged back the crooked path to the truth: "The cigarette butt and the cigarette body are separated—Mr. Minagawa's own pack of cigarettes seems to be a brand without a filter, so even though he took it, you are He smoked poisonous cigarettes, but before smoking, he habitually removed the filter. The part he smokes is not poisonous."

As he talked, Jiang Xia felt like he was playing a simplified version of script killing: Most of the suspects had a relationship with Katsuhiko Minagawa, and they also carried out messy killing practices... But in this case, there was only one murderer .

When Mu Mu Police Department heard Jiang Xia speak, he was refreshed: "Do you know who the murderer is?"

Conan also looked over, and at the same time he was eliminating one by one in his mind.

In fact, according to his experience, "people who are always present at the scene, only people who suddenly leave at the time of the incident and seem to have an alibi" are the most suspicious... That's right, such as Jiang Xia who suddenly slipped away at some point.

However, this idea only flashed briefly, and was quickly ruled out by Conan.

——Jiang Xia is not some kind of perverted murderer who kills people out of interest. He has nothing to do with Minagawa Katsuhiko, and he doesn't even know him at all, so he has no motive.

And this time the deceased was poisoned.Jiang Xia has never been in contact with other people's food at all, he ate all the things he handled, the only exception was the cup of tea that Jiang Xia brought after Conan was brought by Muscle Brother.And Conan felt it carefully, and felt that he was very healthy at this time, and he didn't feel like he had drunk pesticide.

... In short, the murderer is someone else.

"..." Conan thought, and hit his head in reflection: Even if Jiang Xia was present, he shouldn't always want to analyze in the direction of routine and intuition in order to solve the case in a hurry, trying to rely on the "spiritual light" flash".

It should still be judged steadily from evidence and logic.Although Jiang Xia probably solved the case when he reasoned the logic, but the detective's ethics cannot be lost... Conan nodded secretly in his heart, encouraging himself.

The Mumu Police Department didn't notice a child with complicated emotions beside him, and waited intently for Jiang Xia's conclusion.

Jiang Xia shook her head: "I came a bit late, and I don't know much about the situation at that time."

The police, who listened with pricked ears, were a little disappointed.

But soon, they heard Jiang Xia say again: "However, my intuition tells me that at this time, people who behave abnormally often have problems. If you ask them, you may have unexpected gains, such as——"

Jiang Xia suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the kitchen: "My son just passed away, and the police are still walking around in the hall, but Mrs. Minagawa is busy washing cups."

"..."

A group of people followed his direction and turned their heads in slow motion.

The originally gentle sound of trickling water seemed to suddenly magnify after being noticed - at the end of their line of sight, Mrs. Minagawa in a kimono with sleeves rolled up was standing in front of the kitchen sink, with her back to them, rinsing as if nothing had happened. with teacups and saucers.

Suddenly being stared at by someone, she froze, and her hand holding the coffee cup tightened awkwardly.

After a while, Mrs. Minagawa gritted her teeth, and suddenly speeded up, trying to finish washing the remaining coffee cups before the police recovered their senses.

The sound of water suddenly changing speed finally awakened the police who had been in An Yi for too long and had no observation ability online.

The blue veins on the forehead of Mu Mu Police Department twitched, and he waved his big hand: "Stop her!"

Conan: "..."

He actually saw Mrs. Minagawa's behavior, but his first reaction was to think along this abnormality... huh?Wait, Jiang Xia also uses intuition to solve the case?
