Conan's Corpse Picker

When Taro Kusukawa wrote, he habitually used so much force that the traces of his words were actually printed on two sheets of paper.

Using the pencil to spread it out in this way, the words written by the owner of the note gradually appeared on the paper——

Yinqiao Town, Ito.

There are also some scattered numbers below, which look like phone numbers.But after all, there is a piece of paper in the middle, and the painting is very unclear and unrecognizable.

"They should have gone here." Jiang Xia shook the scribbled paper, "Let's go, go and have a look. Although the number can't be seen clearly, at least there is a name and area."

……

Like a treasure hunt according to the picture, the four people with different thoughts followed the clues and went to Xianqiao Town by car.

"Ito" is not too rare a surname.When I arrived near Xianbashi Town, after a short walk, I saw two house numbers with "Ito" nailed on them. If you look carefully, there must be more.

After knocking on the door, I couldn't find Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.Moreover, the Itos had already been harassed by knocking on the door once at noon, and several of them seemed particularly impatient.

For a while, Okiya Subaru felt that those impatient people were guilty, and for a while, he felt that those who were too calm seemed to have ghosts in their hearts.

After reading for a long time, there was no conclusion, so he finally gave up thinking and turned his attention to Jiang Xia—no wonder Boss Amuro kept looking at Jiang Xia when he solved the case just now, trying to urge him to act... Waiting to hear the answer saves trouble.

……

In the end, the four of them came to the door of an exquisite single-family house.

"Two high school students who speak Osaka dialect?"

The owner, holding a well-behaved Siamese cat, listened carefully to what they said.She thought for a moment, then shook her head regretfully: "Sorry, I haven't seen such a person—but I went out for a while before, maybe they came at that time and just missed it."

When Jiang Xia talked to the woman, Mao Lilan's eyes gradually fell on the woman's chest.

There is a beautiful golden badge pinned there, very small, like a sunflower in full bloom.It is engraved with a scale pattern in the middle-this is a badge that symbolizes the status of a lawyer, and the number is engraved on the back, which is unique.

"Excuse me..." Mao Lilan looked up and down for a while, and couldn't help but asked slightly excitedly, "Are you lawyer Misari Ito?"

As he said that, he couldn't help but move his fingers to the autograph book that he carried with him.

Jiang Xia: "..." Your pursuit of stars is too broad.

Ito Misari didn't expect someone to recognize her, she was taken aback for a moment before nodding: "It's me, are you...?"

Seeing her nodding, Mao Lilan happily took out the autograph book:

"I heard my mother talk about you! She said that your commission fee is set very low, almost generating electricity for love, helping many people in need, and you are a very good celebrity lawyer! ... Well, so to speak It might be presumptuous, can you sign me?"

Ito Misa glanced at the notebook she handed over, glanced at Jiang Xia next to her from the corner of her eye, barely suppressed her impatience, took it with a smile, and signed it with her own name.

While signing, Conan kept looking up at Misari Ito.

He sized up this middle-aged woman who was a bit puffy and seemed to have average physical strength, and didn't think too much: this person can't possibly beat Hattori, and he can't even beat Kazuha... In this case, the disappearance of Hattori and the others may be related to She has nothing to do.

Coupled with the justice bonus of Mao Lilan's words, Conan remembered how many "Ito"s there were behind him, and asked, "Auntie, do you know any suspicious people with the same surname as you around here?"

Ito Misa thumped in her heart.

—How could a child ask such a question?It must be Jiang Xia!It was the detective who somehow found out that the missing person was related to "Ito", so he pretended to come to the door to inquire, but actually came to test.

Thinking of this, a murderous intent gradually appeared in her eyes covered by the glasses, and she wanted to silence these people together, especially Jiang Xia who was too threatening.

but……

Misari Ito looked at the four people opposite: Although two of them were weak women and children, there were also two grown men.And this is outdoors, if you draw a gun rashly and threaten, maybe some nosy people will see it and call the police...

Killing the mouth seems a little difficult.

Misari Ito recalled her actions today, especially the actions related to Hattori Heiji, and she didn't feel that something went wrong.

So she told herself in her heart, don't think too much: No matter how amazing the bragging is, Jiang Xia is just a detective who needs evidence after all, just like the two half-dead detectives in the attic of her house, there is nothing to be afraid of—— There are too many "Ito", and they may not be able to find themselves.

……

Thinking of this, Misari Ito acted as if thinking, and answered Conan's question with a gentle voice: "Let me think about it... By the way, there is an abandoned building with the name 'Ito' on the elementary school in the north. Listen It is said that every midnight, there will be people who look like homeless people coming in and out, and occasionally there will be children shouting."

——It is indeed suspicious no matter how it sounds.

"Thank you, let's go and have a look."

Jiang Xia didn't seem to doubt anything, turned around and left with a few people.

Misari Ito watched his back until Jiang Xia turned the corner, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, turned and went back to the house.

……

After walking two streets, Jiang Xia seemed to remember something, and turned to look at Mao Lilan and Okiya Subaru:

"You go to that elementary school first—I suddenly remembered that one of the 'Ito' just now was a little suspicious, so I have to go back and ask a few questions."

Mao Lilan was taken aback: "How about together?"

Jiang Xia shook his head and looked at the looming building in the distance: "We can't waste any more time - it won't take long to turn back, and that suspicious building is not far from here. Maybe when you arrive, I will It's here."

Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment. Although she felt that the building was very gloomy, she was still worried about the two Osaka friends, so she clenched her fists and nodded: "Okay."

"..." Okiya Subaru pushed his glasses, always felt that Jiang Xia seemed to be hiding something, but it was difficult to ask, for fear of accidentally digging out some news related to Uzo.

He quickly suppressed his curiosity and decided to go to that building with Mao Lilan.

——Maolilan has already said that she will go, but she can't let a girl go by herself, how dangerous it is.

With him following, if something happens, maybe he can help.

----

Thanks for the [Monthly Pass] (σ≧?▽?≦?)σ-☆

1142 [Hattori Heiji is desperate]

The four quickly split into two groups.

Okiya Subaru and Mori Ran went to the abandoned building.Conan quietly followed Jiang Xia.

Conan: "..." Speaking of which, he also felt that one of the "Ito" was a bit weird.Since Jiang Xia also thinks so, is Hattori really in that family?

……

Jiang Xia returned to the way he came from, and walked towards the female lawyer's home with a clear goal.

——When he was at the door just now, he smelled several clusters of murderous aura. It felt very fluffy, and it should feel good to the touch... Besides, the attic of the lawyer's house is so hidden, so he probably wouldn't be able to see it when he knocked on it.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt someone following behind him.

Jiang Xia looked back and found that it was Conan, so she didn't pay much attention.

Mao Lilan and Okiya Subaru are still a little troublesome, but Conan is completely fine.And according to the real high school student detective's ability to pull hatred, maybe with Conan around, the murderous intent will increase...

……

a few minutes ago.

On the other side, Ito house.

Misari Ito saw off the detectives and his party, and returned to the house with the cat in his arms, heaving a sigh of relief.

Siam struggled in her arms, Misa Ito touched the cat and put it on the ground: "Mom is still busy now, I will play with you later."

While talking, she went up the stairs to the second floor, found the hidden attic secret door on the ceiling, and pulled it hard.

A staircase fell silently.

Ito Misari followed it and climbed up to the attic. Halfway through the climb, she suddenly felt an itchy calf, and something passed by her, and went straight up.

"!?"

Ito Misa was startled, looked over murderously, and saw a cat sneaked into the house at some time.

The cat was completely black except for four white paws.It quickly climbed to the top of the stairs, glanced into the attic with its head, then lightly entered the attic, and quickly disappeared into the corner.

Misari Ito: "..." It turned out to be just a cat...

She breathed a sigh of relief.Although the attic is relatively hidden, you shouldn't let random people wait... or cats to come in, but Misari Ito also knows how difficult it is to catch cats.If you make too much noise, it will be bad.

What's more, a cat in the district can't do anything wrong.And that cat looks cute...

After thinking for a moment, Misari Ito decided to ignore it and concentrate on dealing with the situation at hand.

……

She climbed up to the attic, closed the door behind her back, looked at the people in the attic, and slowly showed a gloomy sneer.

——In general, the attic is quite spacious.

But at this time, including Ito Misari, there were a full six people crowded inside, and it suddenly seemed particularly depressing.

The six were apparently divided into two groups.

Among the murdered group, a middle-aged man fell to the ground, motionless, looking as if he was dead.The other two young high school students were sitting on the ground back to back, their four hands tightly handcuffed together.

Next to them, two men with swollen faces held guns and were in charge of guarding.

——A few hours ago, Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye followed the trail of Kusukawa Taro and found this place all the way.As soon as he entered the door, he was pointed at by a gun and pressed onto the attic.

At this time, Toyama and Ye's clothes were fairly clean, but Hattori Heiji was too capable of attracting hatred, and he was a little disheartened.

Seeing someone going upstairs, Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth and stared at Ito Misari, as if he was very upset with this kind of criminal who didn't speak martial arts.

Misari Ito looked at him, and said with a sneer: "Oh, why did the handsome Kansai guy get turned into this after I left for a while?"

Her little brother quickly explained: "When you were talking to those people in the yard just now, this kid actually wanted to call for help outside. I could only punch him twice."

"Tsk tsk, it's really rude. Look at this face, I'm afraid it will be swollen into a pig's head tomorrow. But..." Misa Ito touched Hattori Heiji's face, and in the middle of speaking with pity, her tone suddenly sank, Turned into a threat, "Whether there will be a 'tomorrow' depends on your performance."

Hattori Heiji snorted coldly, looking a little unwilling.

Misari Ito has dealt with various clients all the year round, and her ability to know people is not weak.She looked at Hattori Heiji for a moment, understood something, and showed a smug smile:

"Are you expecting that Tokyo detective to find you trapped here? It's a pity that Jiang Xia didn't suspect me. Originally, I wanted to see the legend of solving the case with my own eyes, but now it seems that it's just the media's flattery. That's all.

"Okay. Now the person in the way is gone, stop playing tricks. Solve the puzzle for me quickly."

Saying that, Ito Misari threw a piece of paper in front of Hattori Heiji.

The paper is a 7×7 square with various letters and numbers written in it, which was written by Taro Kusukawa.

Misari Ito sat down on the dead body of the middle-aged man, looked down at him, and said with disgust, "This bastard Kusukawa will really find trouble for me, leaving this kind of mysterious puzzle as a bank vault The answer to the mystery... Fortunately, a detective delivered it to the door."

She pointed the gun at Hattori Heiji: "You detectives should be very good at solving puzzles—tell me the answer before dawn tomorrow."
