Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Bermode: "..." However, if Uzo really doesn't come to school today, do I have to make a special trip tomorrow?

Belmode tapped her forehead with one finger, and began to recall her schedule—she found that when dealing with matters related to Uzo, she always needed to set aside extra time to deal with his long-planned or impromptu trouble script.

  …

   By the river.

  The crane roared, and finally the van that fell into the water was lifted out of the water and placed on the shore.

  The wet car quickly spread a piece of water stains under him. The Mumu Police Department ran over quickly, wanting to confirm the situation of the kidnappers and hostages in the car.

  Jiang Xia scattered the cat puppet acting as a camera and followed him.

  Toru Amuro is also a little concerned about this matter, but wearing that doll costume, he is extremely conspicuous no matter what he does. Even if there is a disguise, he must restrain himself in front of the camera. In the end, he had to act as a mascot and stand among the group of people in the program group.

  Beside the van.

  Mu Mu's police department looked serious, but his tone was a bit unbearable: "Rushing into the water at that speed and soaking for a while, the possibility of the passengers surviving is not high."

  He expected to see two floating bodies in the car, but it turns out…

  Jiang Xia finished reading first: "There is no one in the car."

  The frogman who was busy in the river also rushed up. He took off his respirator and approached to report: "No body was found in the river, but the car window was open, and the current here is strong. The body may have been washed away."

   "Remains? You mean my daughter is dead?!" Takei Katsuhiko came back to his senses, rushed over and roared, "I trusted you so much, I gave everything to you, what happened?"

  Speaking of excitement, he grabbed Jiang Xia's collar and shook it vigorously: "You just repay my trust like this! Naoko, give me back my Naoko!"

  Jiang Xia was a little puzzled by him: "..." I seem to have just arrived? Why did the responsibility fall on me? Do I look like the head of the police?

  Yoko Kinoshita couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over to comfort Takei Katsuhiko, and finally made him let go.

  Under the gentle consolation of the young and beautiful idol, Katsuhiko Takei burst into tears: "If I knew this, I might as well pay the ransom without telling the police! Daughter, my daughter!"

  The camera captured the grief of this good father.

  Mu Mu glanced at the camera from the corner of the eye, sweating coldly, and glanced at Jiang Xia frequently: "..." Brother Jiang Xia, hurry up and solve the case! The reputation of the police will fall again later.

  Jiang Xia was still looking at the car, not aware of the signal he sent.

  Toru Amuro saw it. He folded his arms and snorted silently: Can he fall again? Obviously, it is almost at the bottom of the valley. How did this group of colleagues train out? It really needs to be rebuilt.

  …

  The van that was picked up from the river was not seriously damaged.

This car seems to have undergone some modifications. It knocked out a big hole in the steel guardrail by the river, but it didn't even deform the front cover, the doors were closed properly, and even most of the windows were intact. The driver's window was all broken.

   "Why is only one window broken?" Conan felt wrong, he avoided the camera, and muttered softly, "Even if the impact point is indeed near the driver's seat, the front window of the car is not damaged at all. This is too deliberate."

Jiang Xia is much taller than a first-grade elementary school student, and he can see the details without climbing into the car. He pointed to a corner: "There is a broken window hammer over there. The window was smashed open by someone. The kidnappers should It was premeditated. The frogman who entered the water just now made a mistake—it was not the dead bodies that went away with the water, but the living people."

   "I see!" A loud voice suddenly sounded from the side.

  Brother Mu Mu who overheard their conversation was very relieved: "There is hope for people who are still alive." He turned his head to look at his subordinates, "Search nearby immediately!"

Miwako Sato felt that something was wrong, and reminded in a low voice: "The reason for knocking on the car window was because the kidnapper was worried that he would not be able to get rid of the police and deliberately fell into the river to escape. He may indeed be alive, but what about the hostages in the back seat? According to the people at the scene, the hostages Tied up and even blindfolded, unable to escape with the kidnappers."

  Mu Mu Police Department was taken aback, thinking of a bad situation: "So the hostage is dead, but the kidnapper is still alive?"

  He couldn't help clenching his fists: watching an innocent life pass by before his eyes, this feeling is really uncomfortable. If I had known this, it would be better to encounter a murder case directly...

  Meguru Police Department: "...?"

  ...No, no, how could you think that way!

   It’s better to have no cases at all, or to save people before they die every time, that’s right!

In his mind, he corrected his thoughts that had almost gone astray, cleared his throat, and looked serious: "The most urgent thing is to confirm the life and death of the kidnappers and hostages. If you want to see the dead, you must see the dead! Go to the downstream and send more people to salvage. "

  …

  Even if the probability of the hostage's death is 99%, as long as there is still a 1% possibility of survival, they cannot give up.

but…

"Tell me, how did the hostage get out of the car?" Miwako Sato leaned next to Jiang Xia, always feeling that the whole incident was very wrong, "The door of the car in the water cannot be opened, and there is only a narrow window as an exit. The hostage is in the back seat Even if the kidnapper did not forget to take the hostage with him when he fled, dragged her and pushed her out of the window, no matter whether the hostage lost consciousness or struggled instinctively, the process would easily wipe the wound on the remaining window frame, but we have tested, There was no blood reaction in the car at all."

  Jiang Xia guessed what she was thinking: "Do you think the hostage and the kidnapper are together, and after the vehicle fell into the water, the hostage took the initiative to leave with the kidnapper?"

   Miwako Sato nodded: "Very likely, otherwise there is no other explanation."

"There are other explanations, but what you said should be correct." Jiang Xia said seriously, "I suggest that we first find a way to contact people near Mr. Wu Ju, and select targets from them." By the way, let's see who has the murderous intent .

   While talking, Takei Katsuhiko on the other side looked at his watch with an anxious look on his face.

  Jiang Xia saw it, walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

   "It's time for me to make an appointment with the client." Takei Katsuhiko glanced at the river, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, "I have to go."

   Miwako Sato was startled: "Go to see the client now??"

  The child has just been kidnapped, and his life and death are unknown after falling into the water. How could this person go to work?

  Takei Katsuhiko is like a powder keg that explodes at one point: "Otherwise, what else can I do! I have already lost my daughter, so why should I lose my career!"

In the middle of the roar, he suddenly remembered that there was still a camera shooting next to him, so he restrained his temper, and looked at Jiang Xia impatiently: "If there is anything to do, go to my house in an hour and tell me that these reporters and cameras are not allowed at that time, I will go first gone."

   Then he actually got into his car and hurried away.
