Corpse collector in Conan

"Even if I have my own reasons, if I kill someone, can the police really let me go afterwards?"

Sekiguchi Yoshio fell on the bench in the hospital lobby, his eyes full of despair, "To say the least, let's say the police don't hold me accountable... But what will my relatives and friends think of me if they know I have blood on my hands?"

"And my daughter..."

In the midst of the dilemma, Sekiguchi Yoshio looked at his watch and was shocked: it was already 3:20 pm. There was less than ten minutes left before the 3:30 when the robbers asked him to take action.

"Why does time fly by so fast?" Sekiguchi Yoshio's fingers began to tremble. He turned to look at the building outside the window, and his thoughts changed rapidly:

"If I don't take action after 10 minutes, according to what those guys said, my daughter will be pushed off the roof of the opposite building... No, there is no time to hesitate!

"If you think about it carefully, it was just a matter of pulling the trigger a few times, and everything was over as soon as you closed your eyes. And the guy in the ward is not an innocent patient, he is one of the robbers - even if you kill him, There’s nothing to feel guilty about.”

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the puff box on his lap.

At this moment, a child's voice came from the side: "Uncle, don't do anything stupid."

"?!" Sekiguchi Yoshio was startled. He suddenly turned his head and looked to the right, only to find that there was a little boy with glasses on the bench at some point - he seemed to be one of the children who just went to visit Mr. Yamada.

"Don't look at me, keep looking at the box in your hand." The kid with glasses pushed the frame and said calmly, "Let me guess - someone is coercing you and wants you to kill the patient named Akabane in your father's ward. , is that right?”

Sekiguchi Yoshio was stunned.

Conan laughed: "The puff box in your hand does not contain puffs, but tools used to kill people - such as a pistol."

Sekiguchi Yoshio finally couldn't help but said in a trembling voice: "How do you know!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. You don't want those guys who are monitoring you to discover our conversation." Conan said while using his identity as a child and looking around curiously.

Originally this was just to observe the robbers, but suddenly, he made a move.

Conan: "...?"

When he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, there was a shadow in a hospital gown instinctively shrinking back behind the potted plants in the corridor.

"It looks too familiar... I can't be mistaken, Vodka is also spying on Mr. Sekiguchi!"

This discovery made Conan even more alarmed: "Could it be that the worst thing has happened? That well-planned robbery gang is also related to the black organization... and Vodka appears here because he is also the supervisor responsible for the silence?"

This thought flashed through the already cautious fake primary school student and he suddenly became more vigilant.

He thought for a while and continued speaking as if nothing had happened, intending to gain all the trust of Sekiguchi Yoshio first so that the other party could cooperate.

And the fastest way to gain an adult's trust...

"You know that famous detective from Jiangxia?"

Conan skillfully put on the skin of a famous detective: "Children are not easy to alert the bad guys, so after he learned about the situation at the scene, he specially sent me to contact you - from the phone your father placed on the bedside. Judging from those medicines, Grandpa Sekiguchi has diabetes and cannot eat sweets, but you are walking around the hospital holding a puff box. This is really strange.

"In addition, there are always a few specific people around you who are doing nothing. They don't look like patients or family members, but they operate around you and the ward. They look like they are monitoring.

"And you always look to the roof of the building opposite, and keep mumbling a certain name. I remember that there is an open-air children's amusement park in the building opposite. When you mentioned your daughter in the ward just now, your expression changed. It’s strange—so if I’m not mistaken, it’s not that your daughter doesn’t want to come over to visit grandpa, but that she can’t come because she was taken hostage.”

A series of reasoning, every word struck Sekiguchi Yoshio's heart.

The unlucky man's determination was shattered in an instant, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Not long ago, someone suddenly called me and said that my father's condition had relapsed, and asked me to take my daughter to the hospital.

"I thought the person who was looking for me was a doctor, so I hurried over with my little bow. But I was intercepted by some vicious guys near the hospital. They made excuses to take my daughter away, and then threatened me. I helped them kill Akabane, who was in the same ward as my father."

Having said this, Sekiguchi Yoshio looked at his watch painfully: "There are only less than 10 minutes left... I can't leave Xiao Gong alone. Since you know Mr. Jiang Xia, can you ask him to help me intercede with the police?" ?——Tell them that I was forced by those people!”

Conan saw him holding the puff box tightly and said quickly: "Do you think that killing Akabane can save your daughter? - That's not the case at all. You and your daughter have seen their faces, and I'm afraid they have already boarded the on their kill list.”

“So even if you really help them silence their accomplices, they will not let you and your daughter go.

"Don't forget, this group of bank robbers just robbed your bank not long ago. They acted in an orderly manner and were extremely efficient. Many crime programs and variety shows have speculated on this, saying that this robbery must be There was an insider, so that group of robbers was able to take over so easily."

"The insider..." Yoshio Sekiguchi thought of the scary policeman and shivered, "I know who it is! It's the honest policeman! He must have abused his power and found a loophole in the bank's security system, so..."

"It doesn't matter." Conan looked at the little time left and interrupted him: "And compared to a policeman, you, a bank clerk, are more likely to be the insider in the eyes of others.

"I guess they plan to ask you to go to a remote place to hand over your daughter after you succeed. Once you arrive, they will kill you and disguise the scene as suicide out of fear of crime, so that the police will believe that you are the insider of the bank robbery. "

Yoshio Sekiguchi thought of the scary scene and his scalp tingled for a moment: "How could they do this..."

Desperate people will instinctively grab at straws. Halfway through his words, Yoshio Sekiguchi suddenly remembered a name. He turned his head and looked at Conan with hope in his eyes: "Jiang Xia, what did Mr. Jiang Xia say? ——Since he asked you to come to contact me, does he already have a perfect way to break the deadlock! "

Conan: "This..." There is no perfect solution. At this point, we can only take a gamble.

He was just about to express this in a tactful way, but at this moment, someone on the bench on the other side of Sekiguchi Yoshio suddenly laughed and said casually: "Of course."

Conan: "??? "

Sekiguchi Yoshio: "!"
