Conan’s Corpse Picker

At this time, Eimi Koda, who had been standing quietly next to her, suddenly lowered her head and whispered: "Is it because you are so diligent that you plan to apply for a national university?"

"Yes, so you brought this group of people here and caused me a lot of trouble." Kariya Yuto glanced at her, and his tone became a little mean for some reason, "Can you disappear? It's really annoying."

"..."

Eimi Konda seemed to have been hit by an arrow in her heart. She said nothing more, smiled bitterly, lowered her head and walked out.

…

"What does 'can it disappear' mean? What does 'very annoying' mean?"

Until Suzuki Sonoko left the library, she was still cursing at her two classmates in a low voice: "It really won't hurt his conscience to say such things to a young and lovely girl like me! - In my opinion, the truth is only One, that is, he has no conscience, so he is the murderer!"

Jiang Xia nodded in agreement: "...Yeah, that makes sense."

Next to her, unlike Sonoko Suzuki, who had never been scolded, Conan was scolded by various people: scolded by prisoners in high school, scolded by all kinds of bad-tempered murderers, dead and suspects as a child. Build a strong heart.

Therefore, as soon as he left the library, Conan forgot about the cold treatment he had just received. He suddenly remembered something and moved next to Koda Eimi: "Sister Eimi, have you also written a letter of confession to 'Romeo'?"

Eimi Konda was originally standing by the library window, looking at Yugito Kariya inside. Suddenly hearing this sentence, she was startled: "W-what?"

Jiang Xia passed by them and stopped when he heard the words: "The first two girls who were attacked both wrote letters of confession to the 'Weaver Girl Club', and expressed their feelings for that 'Romeo' in the letters. This is a fact that is hard to ignore. The commonality. So we are curious as the third victim, whether you have the same experience."

Koda Eimi's expression became a little ugly when he looked at her. After a few seconds, she shook her head: "I am the one responsible for listening to worries and solving problems. How could I write a letter to myself? And for people like me, from the beginning..."

She didn't know what she thought of, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she stopped making any sound.

Suzuki Sonoko sighed: "In this case, it seems that we can't find the fourth victim from those confession letters. By the way, who is this unlucky 'TB'? I really want to broadcast it to the whole school to find out." …”

Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea and looked at Jiang Xia: "By the way! You are a famous detective. Why don't we go to the broadcast room to try our luck and see if we can use your facial recognition to let them play a search for the initials of ' TB’ girl’s missing person broadcast!”

"..." Jiang Xia didn't want to go to the radio and quietly dismissed her idea: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, 'TB' may not necessarily refer to a person's initials. I heard from Konda-san that the 'Weaver Girl Club' was originally modeled after Italy." The Juliet Club' was established. So the names on those threatening letters may also be imitating the story of Romeo and Juliet.

"For example, the 'MG' on the first letter does not actually refer to the classmate's name, but also refers to Romeo's family name, Montagues. The 'CT' on the second letter refers to Juliet's family name. Capulets.

"In the story, because the two families have been enemies for generations, Romeo and Juliet's love was strongly opposed by their respective families, and eventually both of them died. So for Romeo and Juliet, these two surnames are actually enemies.

"By analogy, the 'EC' in the third letter may not refer to Eimi Konda, but to Prince Escalus - not long after Romeo and Juliet privately married, Juliet's cousin met Romeo and proposed to duel him. , Romeo refused the fight, but his friend felt it was humiliating and decided to fight the cousin instead of Romeo, and was eventually killed.

"In anger, Romeo drew his sword to avenge his friend, so he killed Juliet's cousin. After this happened, Prince Escalus decided to banish Romeo from the city."

As Suzuki Sonoko listened, she couldn't help but sigh with dismay: "No matter how many times I watch this love, I still find it tortuous."

Suddenly she realized something: "By the way, the cousin who is going to duel with Romeo is called 'Tybalt'. Is TB referring to him?!"

Jiang Xia nodded.

Suzuki Sonoko received his affirmation, paced excitedly, and continued to reason. Regardless of whether the result is correct or not, the reasoning process is very smooth:

"So translated, the meaning of the last threatening letter is that at sunset, Romeo will kill 'TB' - the murderer is indeed the impolite boy, and he is the only one recognized by the whole school as 'Romeo'! No matter who TB is , catching Yugito Kariya is equivalent to catching the murderer, and the murder will naturally not happen!"

As she spoke, her blood boiled, she rolled up her sleeves and ran to the library.

…

However, when they arrived in the library, the seat of "Romeo" was already empty. Only thick study materials were piled on the table, and his person was nowhere to be found.

Jiang Xia glanced around and asked the girls nearby.

"'Romeo'?" The girl was paying attention to the school sweetheart and whispered to him, "He received an email and then went out. When he passed me, I accidentally saw the screen. He seemed to be in charge of college counseling. The teacher comes to see him if he has something to do."

Suzuki Sonoko also squeezed in among them to listen. When she heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened: "It must be the same as the note just now. It is to create a legitimate excuse for myself to leave!"

Conan looked around and asked Jiang Xia: "Where is Eimi Konda?"

"Yongmei is missing?!" Before Jiang Xia could answer, Suzuki Sonoko was startled.

She suddenly remembered a very scary thing: "I remember Yongmei said that because she had learned fencing, she once played Tybalt in a play, the unlucky cousin who was killed by Romeo...could it be Is she really the 'TB' in the letter, who will be killed by Yuuto Kariya at sunset?!"

The four people looked at each other for a moment, then Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko rushed out of the library, praying to find poor Eimi Konda before the tragedy happened and prevent the murder.

Conan also rushed out quickly, but after two steps he realized something was wrong, so he turned back and looked at Jiang Xia who was thoughtful: "Do you know where they are?"

Jiang Xia came back to his senses and thought: "Since we want to kill people at sunset...if it were me, I would definitely choose a place where I can clearly see the sunset."

"What if it was you? You don't know how to kill people..." Conan muttered, but remembering that he would occasionally involve people in guessing the identity of criminals, he didn't think much about it and subconsciously looked towards the top of the campus.

Looking at it this way, I actually found a thin figure standing on the rooftop of one of the buildings, leaning on the railing.

Conan: "?!"

...Jiang Xia really got it right!
