Conan: The Mechanic

Corpse girl, sailor suit, dark skirt, black high-heeled shoes, the exposed skin is almost mummified, and there is no sign of damage except for the sunken eye socket.

"Anyway, the form of this dead man is a little too strange," Conan muttered to himself, looking at the corpse in confusion.

"Yes," Mouri Kogoro also nodded. "It's...a little weird."

"Did you find something wrong?" At this moment, Fei Yingli also came over and looked at the two of them.

"Although this corpse can be explained by the reason that it has been dead for a long time, the abnormality of the corpse, but the dehydrated appearance is very strange, not like a normal mummified corpse." After smacking his lips, Mouri Kogoro added. a sentence. "And the weirder thing is that I think her bra is too small."

Under the white shirt, the black bra on the corpse's chest was quite conspicuous.

"Too young?" Fei Yingli's brows twitched. "What do you mean? A woman's body has to be bulging forward and backward to be a woman—wait a minute..."

"You understand, too," Mouri Kogoro nodded after seeing that Feiyingri also clearly realized the problem. "Look at this bra..."

Saying this, he twitched in front of his brows, but in the end he still believed that Kogoro Mouri should not have any thoughts about mummies - even if it was a **, and from the sailor suit and high heels, it should be a good figure before death. The young girl——the concubine Yingri poked the corpse's bra in the face. "It fits perfectly, and there is no gap at all. This is obviously a temporary replacement after the corpse was dehydrated. It fits the size of the dehydrated body. If it is the original part, it is estimated to be very loose, right?"

"So, did you find out about this too?" Fei Yingli forcibly suppressed her emotions and looked at Conan with a bad expression. "The fact that this woman's bra was found to be too small."

"No, I just think this corpse is a bit strange, because...you see, although her body remains largely intact, the skin..."

Saying this, she pointed to the neck skin of the corpse that was not covered by clothes - a crack in the skin that horizontally encircled the entire neck of the deceased was clearly visible.

"If such a line means that the deceased died and was cut off by the murderer, why is the head of the corpse deliberately connected back when the corpse is thrown? And if it means that the murderer took off the face of the deceased and put it on If you go up, why would the murderer do this?"

"Besides, this corpse is very well preserved - the natural conditions here in Tokyo obviously cannot meet the needs of forming mummified corpses, so most of the murderers artificially made this corpse into a mummified corpse - what is his purpose? "

"This cosmetic..." Fei Yingli also made such a judgment after carefully observing the lips of the corpse. "Although I'm not sure if that's true...but was this lipstick applied before the body was thrown?"

When Conan and Mouri Kogoro looked at the lips of the deceased, they realized that the problem that Feiyingli pointed out was actually very strange - the dry lips of the corpse were quite distorted compared with normal people, but the lipstick was still accurate. Apply on it. There is no doubt that it was painted by someone after the body was completely dry.

When these doubts were put together by the three of them, they felt the strangeness of this corpse.

Sure enough, it is more appropriate to leave this kind of corpse throwing behavior with no traces to look for on the spot. It is more appropriate to leave it to professional forensics personnel. Those laymen like detectives or lawyers should not pretend to be professional in that kind of place.

……

A few hours later, Rice Flower Central Hospital.

"You called us here to..." Qianyu's face was speechless. "No... aren't Brother Fujiwara and Sister Hotaru your assistants? Why don't you let them take charge?"

"This time the situation is rather special. The two of them may not be able to work properly." Gregory's answer surprised Chiba.

"Okay, even if that's the case... why did you call Haihara here?" Qianyu looked at Haibara Ai beside her. "She doesn't know much about forensics, does she? Why would you..."

"Actually, I'm still very basic for the time being," but at this moment, what Ai Haibara said surprised Chiba. "The things I forgot have basically been recovered, and there is indeed an ability to perform anatomy exercises - don't underestimate me."

"Have you heard, she knows a lot more than you," Gregory said with a very proud expression. "Now she knows nothing less than you who look like this, don't underestimate it!"

"Okay..." With an uneasy expression, Qianyu nodded. "Anyway... can you give us a rough idea of ​​why the situation is special?"

"The answer is very simple, because the corpse this time is an acquaintance. In fact, the two of you may know each other."

"We also know each other?" Qian Yu was stunned. "Then... the person we all know, could it be..."

At that moment, what he thought of was not someone else, but Fujiwara and Hotaru's respective same-sex friends, Takeda and Yuma. [No way... Even if they are such simple guys, will they still be involved in a murder case or something? If this is the case, contemporary society is simply shrouded in an atmosphere of terror. 】

Of course ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Rice Kwa's environment wasn't so bad that simple children would die in an instant, so Chiba knew at first sight that it wasn't the two who died. But in the next second, the auxiliary unit restored the face of the corpse that was beyond recognition due to dehydration. The result of the restoration made Chiba realize that he did know each other, and also made him realize why Mizuka Hotaru and Fujiwara were not called by Gregory. to participate in this anatomy.

Because the person lying on the dissection table this time, Chiyu knew--Conan and the others had actually seen this woman, but the woman was still alive at the time, and a little dressing up could make a man fascinated.

Nami, this girl had such a name before her death, and if Chiba remembered correctly, just a few days ago, Fujiwara and Hotaru seemed to have agreed to spend the night with this girl.

If they are allowed to continue to perform such work, only God knows how much reason they can maintain. But in contrast, the relationship between Qianyu and this girl has only been met once, and because Haibara Ai was in the hospital before, she had never even seen her at all, and the two of them would not be affected by this matter at all.

"But, why did you come to us?" Haibara Ai suddenly asked a new question. "You have other assistants, can't they do these jobs instead?"

"They?" Gregory stared at the corpse. "They are not strict, and the water department will definitely ask them when the time comes, how could those young people not pour the beans into the bamboo tube and say it all."

"Do you want to keep it a secret from Sister Yingying?" Chiba, who was about to start the examination, raised her eyebrows and looked at Gregory. "Can I ask...why?"

"You'll know after you check," Gregory's answer was simple. "Maybe you can still know why I insisted on letting you come."
