Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 888 Please Be More Compassionate

"I wanted to call the police immediately, but I remembered this investigation report." Yoshioka Juro smiled bitterly, "If you find it after searching the scene, I will definitely become a suspect and be forced to accept the investigation. So I thought... …take it away first.”

Miwako Sato looked at him speechlessly: "You are worried that after the police discover the information, you will be held accountable for misappropriating public funds—you are right to worry. In short, after this case is over, no matter who the murderer is, please Come with us."

"...Oh." Yoshioka Juro responded dumbly, turned around, and muttered.

He listened closely, and what he was muttering was "Police bastard, I'll kill you when I get back!" and so on.

The mermaid happened to pass by him. Hearing this, he couldn't help but stop, and waited for a while with bright eyes.

But after a long time, Yoshioka Juro's aura remained unchanged.

Mermaid: "..." Liar!
Hearing her muttering complaints, Jiang Xia turned his head and glanced at Yoshioka Juro, who "couldn't keep his word", and his attitude was quite peaceful.

——Just now, he followed the policemen to the hall, and as soon as he reached the door, he happily stepped on a whole group of ruthless murderous spirits that fell off the ground.So Jiang Xia conveniently directed the ghosts to pick it up.

According to Yoshioka Juro's description just now, this should be exactly what he dropped.

——Yoshioka Juro probably entered the room full of anger, "How dare the bastard president threaten me, I'll kill you!"But it was discovered that the person was already dead... The body could not be killed again, and the murderous aura on his body would naturally be wiped out on the spot.

As for now, why haven't new ones emerged...

There are quite a few people who dare to scold the police, but not too many dare to actually do something.

This is probably like vodka when facing a powerful enemy: I can't help but curse "sooner or later you will be sharked!", but because of lack of self-confidence, I feel that I can't do this and I don't intend to take action at all.So there is no murderous...

Jiang Xia: "..." Huh?Speaking of this, I don't know what happened to the vodka side.

However, judging from the situation reported by the ghosts who stayed there to gather murderous aura.After he left, the vodka's murderous aura has been steadily overflowing, which is even stronger than when Jiang Xia was trying to fight the fire at the scene just now, which is gratifying.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glanced at the freezer in the living room of Xiaodao's house, which was full of delicious desserts.

"..." A bit like vodka.

But at the same time, Jiang Xia was a little worried that the existence of "Uzo" was a factor that hindered the production of vodka - when he didn't leave just now, vodka didn't take so much murderous aura.Only occasionally fluctuates when "engagement" is mentioned, and most of the time he is more like a Buddhist monk, with a calm mind... I don't know what vodka has made up for me during the time I have been away.I have to ask the ghost carefully later, so that it can be reused next time.

……

In addition, when it comes to vodka, there is one more thing worth paying attention to.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia licked the cat's hands slightly, and looked at the three students present, especially Conan.

——According to the speed at which the police clean up the scene on weekdays, the enthusiasm and gossip of the students, and Mao Lilan's easy-going attitude of making notes on the spot...

If another case "happens" to happen nearby, the three of them will probably rush to the scene in time.

In doing so, they might encounter vodka...

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia glanced out the window, and decided to find a suitable time later to send a message to Vodka.

……

When Jiang Xia was concerned about her colleagues.

Next to him, Yoshioka Juro was "invited" by several policemen to wait on the sofa.

After taking two steps, Yoshioka Juro suddenly came back to his senses and realized one thing - just now, he took out the detective's investigation report and explained the reason why he entered the house.But the police only admitted that he had committed economic crimes, but never said that he thought he would not kill people.

Yoshioka Juro: "..." We must provide more clues to find out the murderer, lest I become a scapegoat.

Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "I see, you are the murderer!"

A few people were startled, and followed his gaze.

I saw Jiang Xia.

A second later, a group of people silently turned back the same way, showing complex expressions of "Are you still asleep?"

"...It's not him, it's the one behind him!" Yoshioka Juro pointed to Kojima Chihiro, who was mostly hidden behind Jiang Xia's back, and snorted coldly:
"She is the same as her mother! She pretends to be weak and human in front of others, but one is fiercer than the other behind her back... In short, Chihiro Kojima is the murderer!
"Think about it with your brains! ——In the surveillance just now, when the security came, the president Kojima was still alive. When I came, the president Kojima was already dead. Among them, only Chihiro Kojima Passing through her house, who else could be the murderer besides her?

"—Even though she and the deceased are mother and daughter, Kojima Chihiro has actually fallen out with the president of Kojima because of arguing about elopement with a wild man. Two years ago, her husband embezzled a large amount of public funds, I came to ask the president of Kojima to borrow money to fill the hole. The president didn't borrow money, so that person went in, and he is still squatting in prison!
"Afterwards, every time Kojima Chihiro saw the president, she had to quarrel violently—don't mention me about this kind of thing, anyone who is a little familiar with them knows it. It must have quarreled tonight, and she always Kill the president in anger!"

Kojima Chihiro's complexion became a little ugly.

Suddenly being exposed in front of other people, she was so angry that she slapped the table next to her.A fine crack appeared on the mahogany table of excellent quality.

Under the shocked and vigilant gaze of several police officers, Kojima Chihiro said angrily: "I didn't kill you!" Beat him up.

The police officers on both sides came back to their senses and tried to persuade people to fight.

……

Next to him, Jiang Xia, who was checking the inventory of vanilla ice cream, was also startled by their movement and turned to look over.

Just at this moment, Chihiro Kojima, who was about to beat someone up, was held back by several strong men.For a while, he couldn't rush to Yoshioka Juro's side.

Her brain, which was confused by anger, gradually sobered up a little.

Realize now that violence will not solve the problem.Kojima Chihiro looked at Jiang Xia, with helpless tears in the corner of her eyes: "It's really not me!"

"...I believe in you." Jiang Xia tried his best to ignore those brawny police officers who were so tired that their veins burst out in order to hold Chihiro Kojima, he said gently, "However, there is one thing you must make clear first— —When the security guards came, the 'President Kojima' who opened the door for them wearing a bath towel, bathrobe, and mask, was actually you."
