Corpse collector in Conan

In the garage.

Watching Jiang Xia and Conan go away, the butler breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the hood of the car with some weakness.

But soon, he stood up nervously again.

"I don't think I heard the footsteps before. When did the young detective come? How much did he hear?" The butler turned around worriedly and looked at the tampered car.

After becoming suspicious, some things become more and more abrupt the more you look at them.

He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Is this airbag really that conspicuous? Even a primary school student can see it. If she also found the problem, then..."

After hesitating for a moment, the butler took a deep breath and his eyes gradually became firm.

...

Jiang Xia took Conan to the villa. When he was about to enter the door, he stopped and saw a familiar person.

——Akai Shuichi walked out of the grove on the side. Maybe because of the whole night of hard work, there were a little black and blue under his eyes at this time, and his ferocious face looked even gloomier.

Conan was startled and alerted.

"Mr. Akai?" Jiang Xia tapped the ash of his cigarette, as if he was a little confused, "You... were looking for the murderer nearby last night?"

"..." Akai Shuichi couldn't say that he saw a familiar curly-haired man, and he didn't want to say that he had been chasing him all night and didn't catch up.

So he didn't answer, but just distanced himself from these innocent citizens coldly: "Don't ask too much, it has nothing to do with you."

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan, who had just followed the sound, saw this scene and couldn't help whispering: "This guy was still silent and honest yesterday, why did he suddenly become aloof today-did he do something shameful last night, and Jiang Xia mentioned it and poked his sore spot, so his attitude changed drastically?"

Akai Shuichi was keenly aware of their gazes and suspected that the two high school girls were whispering about him behind his back.

However, as a battle-hardened FBI agent, he had long been accustomed to all kinds of stares. He didn't say much and turned away.

——Before going up the mountain, Akai Shuichi did not expect to meet Jiang Xia here.

And now, he confirmed that Wu Zuo's eyes were looking at this place, and he had to get rid of these innocent Tokyo people as soon as possible.

…

Several high school students entered the villa, but Akai Shuichi did not follow.

He remembered that the housekeeper went to repair the car last night, and he didn't know if it was repaired. If not, he would do it himself, leave this place without signal as soon as possible, and then call the police and let the police block this place on the pretext that the suspect was absconding nearby.

In this way, if luck is good, he should be able to catch the slippery curly-haired man. There are no other vehicles nearby. Although he disappeared in a blink of an eye just now, he must not be able to go far now.

…

The housekeeper hurriedly left the garage to prepare breakfast for everyone.

Not long after he left, Akai Shuichi pushed the door and came to the car.

After looking around the car and sitting in the driver's seat again, Akai Shuichi looked at the airbag on the steering wheel and raised his eyebrows.

…

On the other side, in the restaurant.

Everyone who woke up sat down one after another, waiting for dinner. Not long after, the butler came in with a dining cart.

Just as he was about to put down his plate, he suddenly stared at a photo on the dining table and froze on the spot - the photo was of a young man sitting in front of a grand piano, playing the piano and looking at the camera with a smile.

"Does it look familiar?" Conan sighed as he looked at the photo frame, "This is the photo you put on your bookshelf."

The butler's heart skipped a beat: "You entered my room?!"

Conan nodded. At this time, the advantage of being a child was reflected - if he was still the high school detective he used to be, he really couldn't admit that he had trespassed into someone else's room.

But now, a first-grade kid doesn't have to worry about legal issues. Conan continued like an outlaw: "In addition, I found a lot of chemicals in your cabinet, including sulfur... Ouch!!"

Mouri Kogoro retracted his fist: "You kid rummaged through other people's cabinets and stole things? You really deserve a beating!"

Conan: "..." Damn it, next time I should let this uncle sleep before reasoning...

Jiang Xia touched the big bump on Conan's head and remembered the sacrifice of this classmate. Then he continued what he had just said and said to the housekeeper: "The explosives in the wine box last night were made by you using fertilizer, sulfur and those chemicals."

The eldest son was stunned: "Fertilizer and sulfur, these two things can actually make bombs?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "As long as they are mixed in the appropriate proportions, their power will not be much weaker than the yellow bomb."

The housekeeper gritted his teeth and snorted: "Nonsense! Let alone whether I can make such a thing, even if I can, why should I kill the master? He pays such a high salary, I can't thank him enough."

Jiang Xia glanced out the window and began to tell the story of the past: "Five years ago, under the coercion of the deceased Mr. Horita, Miss Fumiko's fiancé committed suicide. And everything you did today was actually all to avenge him.

"You are the housekeeper here, and all the birthday gifts received by the deceased will pass through your hands.

“So after receiving the rye whiskey sent by Mr. Ryoji, you set a mechanism inside the box and put in a homemade bomb made of phosphate fertilizer and sulfur.

"This kind of bomb has no smell of gunpowder, is easily ignited, and is not easily noticed by the deceased. When he was opening gifts at night, he unpreparedly triggered the mechanism and was killed."

The eldest son suddenly realized: "I see... I'm just telling you, where did that boy Ryoji have the courage to kill someone?"

The sister-in-law looked confused: "But Liang Er had a knife in his bag and he escaped. Who else could be the murderer if he wasn't him? - Could it be that he and the housekeeper are accomplices?"

Jiang Xia shook his head: "Mr. Liang'er is just a scapegoat to divert everyone's attention. His disappearance was also caused by the butler - only by clearing himself of suspicion can Mr. Butler make the next step in his plan and kill the second person he wants to kill. ”

"?!"

Hota Hiroshi, who was watching the show leisurely, hugged his wife for a moment: "This has nothing to do with us! We have nothing to do with Kentaro's death!"

At just this moment, a car drove past the window and headed outside the courtyard.

"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko realized something was wrong. She held the back of her chair and looked out, "Didn't it mean that all the cars here were broken down and there was no way to leave? But why did something that looked like a car swish by outside just now? ?”

The housekeeper suddenly smiled, and his smile was meaningful: "Of course it's because I repaired my old car. Now, it will carry the people in the car to where they should go."
