Conan’s Corpse Picker

   The few people under the car were startled, turned their heads suddenly, and rushed into the car.

   Kawasaki Tetsuta, who was almost hit, was stunned for a while, and followed after half a beat.

  …

  Jiang Xia got into the carriage, glanced around, and saw the senior who loved to be late just now, lying next to the back door with his eyes closed.

   His head was leaning against Little Red Riding Hood's camera box, his forehead was swollen, and there was a horrific wound on the back of his head. The bottom of the heavy metal camera box was stained with blood, and there was also a fresh bloodstain on the floor of the rear half of the carriage.

   Jiang Xia approached to check the situation, shook his head and said, "The person is already dead."

   He didn't mention anything about calling the police.

  Because Suzuki Sonoko rushed out of the car in a panic, he pressed 110 and called an ambulance by the way. But now, the ambulance seems to be useless.

  …

   Not long after, the Mumu police department hurried over with a group of subordinates.

   Originally, he was still a little worried, but when he took a closer look, there was not only Jiang Xia, but also Kudo Shinichi in the crowd, and he felt relieved and very comfortable.

   But as he approached, the Mumu police department was slightly startled, he looked at Kuroba Kuito: "It's you, that new classmate from last night."

   Kuroba Kaito: "...Hello." New classmate?

  Why add the word "new"? It's as if he joined some strange organization without knowing it...

  …

  The Mumu Police Department found that there were two detectives present, and he was so relieved that he quickly started his daily work.

  While writing down the information in his notebook, he asked: "The deceased Masao Horii, 22 years old... Did he die while braking? What were you each doing at the time?"

   The answers of several high school students were quite consistent: Kawasaki Tetsuta fell on the track in front of the train at that time, and the scene was thrilling, and they were all watching there.

   Not to mention the driver, who was always at the front, and then rushed straight out of the car.

   "So at that time, the one who was behind the tram with the deceased..." The Mumu police department turned to look at the female college student, "Only this Miss Shimizu?"

Shimizu Rumi was startled and waved her hands hastily: "I was in the back at first, but then the vehicle braked suddenly and I was thrown in front. The old grandfather helped me." She turned her head and looked at Terai Huang for help. help.

   Terai Huang nosuke responded: "It is indeed the case."

"Um..." The Mumu police department touched his broad chin, looked at the person in the car, and reasoned, "Since you all have alibi, and the circumstances at the time, it's obvious - the brakes. At that time, Mr. Horikawa was unable to stand still, unfortunately fell, and the back of his head hit the sharp corner of the camera box, causing fatal injuries. Then the vehicle vibrated, and he was bounced up and touched his forehead again. In the end, it became like this.”

  “…”

   Kuroba's eyes twitched: It seems that not only the policemen from Section 2 were searched, but the same was true for Section 1.

  Mikako Sato couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded in a low voice: "Police Department, the place where the camera box is stained with blood is the corner of the bottom. There are shock-proof straps on it, so there should be no major flipping."

Kawasaki Tetsuya came back to his senses after hearing the words, and looked at his treasured camera case distressedly: "It must be innocent... Wait a minute, when I tied the bandage just now, I obviously tied two knots, but now there are only two knots left. One!"

   His eyes sharpened: "Someone must have taken it off and killed Horikawa-senpai with it!"

   Jiang Xia looked at his watch, recalled the departure time of the Shinkansen, and nodded in agreement:

   "I think so too. The braking just now was not an accident, but someone who did it on purpose—someone set a trap with steel wires outside, which would make Mr. Kawasaki fall onto the rails as the train approached, attracting the attention of passengers and drivers.

"That is to say, someone who knew about their club's photo-taking plan had moved on Kawasaki Tetsuta's triangular ladder in advance. Then, while everyone's attention was attracted by the accident, he took off the heavy camera case and used it. killed the dead.

"The deceased was attacked from behind, and when he fell forward, he hit an obstacle and bruised his forehead. After he fell to the ground, the murderer hurriedly tied the box back to its original position. Finally, with the emergency braking, the body slipped from the rear compartment. At the location of the camera box. The murderer can also pretend to be unsteady and infiltrate the crowd."

  "..." Although he hadn't named his name yet, there was only one person who could knock people in the back compartment at that time.

   Everyone looked at Shimizu Rumi in surprise.

   Shimizu Rumi gritted her teeth: "I didn't..."

"By the way, the shape of the blood here is a bit strange." Jiang Xia squatted down and pointed to the other corner of the camera box, "It is difficult for the blood of the deceased to get to this spot, it may be that the murderer accidentally scratched it when he hit someone with it. Broken hand, leaving traces."

   Kuroba Kuito sighed and looked at Shimizu Rumi as well: "There is a scratch on the dial of your watch, but it wasn't there when you got in the car."

   And if it was scratched while carrying a box and smashing people, traces can be detected on the camera box.

  Shimizu Liumei: "…"

   She spent so many days and carefully planned the "sudden braking accident", but she didn't even survive for five minutes, and was dismantled in a few words.

Shimizu Rumi knelt down on the ground, raised her hand and scratched her long hair, and said bitterly: "Actually... he is my ex-boyfriend. We had already reached the point of talking about marriage. But a while ago, he suddenly said that he would study in Germany."

  Kawasaki Tetsuta hugged his camera box distressedly. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "Then why don't you go with me? Why are you killing people?" He actually tried to trick him and his camera box...

"I thought about going with him!" Shimizu Rumi gritted her teeth angrily, "but he never let me go. It took a few days before he confessed that his parents had arranged a marriage for him in Germany, so he was actually I'm going to get married... This **** who plays with people's hearts, I will never let him get his wish!"

  …

   When Liumei was escorted into a police car in Qingshui, Jiang Xia and the Mumu police department were chatting in a low voice.

  At the same time, Gin was on its way to Osaka.

   Passing near the station, he caught a glimpse of this scene in front of the station from a distance, and tutted in his heart: Wu Zuo really couldn't be idle for a while. Not long after going out, another case came up. There is still a long way to go, so when will he be able to reach Osaka.

  As a person who has always attached importance to efficiency, a thought quietly crossed Gin's mind:

   Anyway, I have to drive there, and I won’t be seen on the road. Would you like to pick him up?

   However, speaking of driving with Uzo...

  Bourbon slowly appeared in front of Gin.

   After a while, he was silent for a while: "..." Forget it.

   It’s not that it’s troublesome, but thinking about it carefully, it’s not necessary at all – anyway, when you get to the station, you only need to make an extra shinkansen to go to Osaka. In that kind of closed space, there are not many people committing crimes, so it can't be delayed for too long.
