Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1795 1794 [Uzo who cherishes life]

  The setting sun close to the horizon dyes the roof of the building into a golden yellow.

  Among the nearly bright colors, Eomi Konda and Hayato Kariya stood facing each other a few meters apart, each with a more serious expression.

  The utility knife was lifted in the air, and the tip of the knife reflected a cold light. Just when it was about to stab the target fiercely, the next moment, the door of the roof was suddenly pushed open with a bang.

   "Yongmei!" Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko rushed in, then looked at the scene in front of them, and were stunned at the same time.

  —Contrary to imagination, the one holding the knife is not "Romeo", but Konda Eomi who is opposite him.

  The girl wrapped the knife with a handkerchief, as if she didn't want to leave fingerprints on the knife, and the tip of the knife was facing herself, as if it would stab her neck in the next moment.

  Jiang Xia bypassed the two frightened female students and stepped forward, glanced at the knife in Konda Yongmei's hand, and felt a rare sense of sincerity: "Life is the most precious treasure, don't commit suicide at any time."

  Suzuki Sonoko didn't recover until she heard his voice, she looked at Emi Konda in shock, with a blank face: "What are you doing, Eomi?"

  Mao Lilan has been involved in more cases than her since she was a child, and she reacted faster than Sonoko Suzuki at this time. She couldn't believe it: "Miss Yongmei, you...are you using us?"

  Emi Konda gritted her teeth and looked at them with a complicated expression, without saying a word.

  She doesn't speak, so she can't stand on the roof and wait for her all the time.

Jiang Xia looked at his watch, and said for her: "We just arrived downstairs in your school today, and we 'coincidentally' ran into the scene where you were attacked in the activity room. This should be carefully planned by you—speaking of it, Inviting friends to your school but not going downstairs to pick them up, but standing in the activity room waiting for someone to come up, this is a bit strange in itself. We are all visiting your school for the first time, so you don’t worry about the guests getting lost.

  Suzuki Sonoko finally came back to his senses: "So at that time, Yongmei deliberately found someone to attack her at that time, in order to be seen by us?"

Jiang Xia shook her head: "There is no 'finding someone', but a one-man show that I directed and acted on my own. At that time, from the angle we were standing at, we couldn't see the situation in the room at all. She just stood by the window and leaned back. Pretending that he was dragged down by someone, he could disappear from the window logically, then hide in the house, cut off his hair with the utility knife stolen from 'Romeo' in advance, and create the illusion of being attacked.

"Since it was 'attacked', the attacker should not have left the box knife where it was. So after confirming that we ran into the building, you immediately got up, threw the box knife into the flowerbed downstairs, and let the weapon escape from the room. disappear, and wait for an opportunity to recover it later—if you look in the flowerbed under that window now, you should be able to see the scratches made by the box knife in the dirt.

"Those threatening letters, the pranks on girls who like 'Romeo', including the letter asking Kariya Hayato to return the utility knife at the back of the gymnasium, all came from you. You plan to push all these things to 'Romeo', yourself As the fourth victim 'TB' who was targeted, he died in the assassination of 'Romeo' at sunset, making the other party bear the crime of murder."

   Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko did not expect such a bold operation, and they were stunned.

  Conan has already guessed the truth. So now, instead of reasoning, he looked up at Jiang Xia, thoughtful: "..." Facing this kind of girl who is suspected of going to extremes because of the pain of unrequited love, Jiang Xia didn't speak as softly as he used to, could it be …

   Doesn't he like people who commit suicide?

Obviously he himself... But thinking about it this way, Conan felt relieved: I heard that people who commit suicide will either kill in one go, and kill more and more courageously until they succeed, or they will realize the preciousness of life in that state of being on the verge of death , to value life again.

   Now it seems that Jiang Xia must be the latter. This is really a sigh of relief.

  …

  Hayato Kariya obviously did not expect Eomi Konda to do such a thing. He was silent for a long time before choking out a sentence: "You got me involved somehow, there must be something wrong with your brain."

   "Unintelligible?" Emi Konda smiled wryly:

   "Have you forgotten, I wrote to you a month ago and wanted to ask you to meet. You clearly agreed, but you never showed up at the agreed place.

"I always thought that your trip was interrupted by something important. Unexpectedly, not long ago, I passed by the door of the classroom and found that you and a few boys were laughing at me, and even bet me whether I would be able to Go, how long will you stay...I didn't realize until then that the 'Romeo' whom I admired, although he started to study later, was just a vulgar little **** who did all kinds of evil before."

Kariya Hayato was suddenly exposed, and sneered: "I am a vulgar little **** who does all kinds of evil, so what are you? Those stupid girls wrote to you because they trusted you, but you took advantage of this to pick one out of them. Love rivals, play tricks on them.

"Are you really forced to use them to complete your plan, or are you trying to hide your dark thoughts about your rival in love? - Well, after all, what Romeo and Juliet...isn't it stupid to be immersed in this kind of illusory drama !"

   "There are also these two idiots." He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, and then looked at Emi Kinda:

"Do you think it is difficult to distinguish suicide from murder? Even if the murder weapon is my utility knife, the angle at which the blood was spattered, the location where the blood was spattered, and the fingerprints blurred by the handkerchief... As long as I protect the scene, the police will definitely be more willing to commit suicide. case closed.

"When the time comes, your two friends will start bluffing around, saying that I killed you, and then they will be proved by iron-like evidence that they are false accusations, and soon learn that they are actually a part of helping you commit suicide... Oh, I really do An asshole, but how good can you be!"

  Emi Konda listened silently, her face becoming more and more ugly.

  At the end of hearing, she suddenly clenched the knife in her hand, looked at Kariya Hayato with a gloomy face, and rushed towards him with the knife raised.

"…wait wait wait!"

The stupefied Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko finally came back to their senses, Mao Lilan rushed up instinctively, and at a speed that was too fast to see clearly, he swiped and raised his hand to block between Kinda Eomi and "Romeo": "Anyway, You can't even seek death, and there's no need to send yourself to prison for revenge on this kind of person!"

  Suzuki Sonoko also trotted closer. No matter what Emi Konda has done, it is difficult for the two female high school students to ignore the thought that the living person in front of them may die soon, or is about to kill someone.
