Conan’s Corpse Picker - Chapter 1598

Chapter 1598 1598 [Uzo is eyeing the strange thief]

Mu Shuli didn’t care about someone interrupting, because she also thought so in her heart.

Twirling the ring box with her fingertips, she slowly turned the angle of the box, lowered her head to admire the gem, and introduced:

“The three gold threads interlaced on the surface of this sapphire represent ‘trust’, ‘hope’ and ‘destiny’ respectively. So it is also called the ‘Stone of Destiny’ – it is said that Josephine likes sapphire very much, so we I borrowed this precious ring specially.”

Dr. A Li was taken aback when he heard this somewhat awkward name: “Josephine? That princess of Napoleon? What does this have to do with her liking for sapphires?’”

Mu Shuli’s expression sank slightly, and he raised his head to look at him.

But the group of people in front of her are not her subordinates or colleagues after all, but ordinary people who rarely get involved in the entertainment industry. She had no choice but to hide her displeasure and kept smiling: “This will help us restore the character design. Of course, the crew is also very happy to have this gimmick for publicity.”

Dr. Ali felt the change in her mood and was a little confused.

Huihara Ai recalled the poster he saw just now by the gate, and reminded him in a low voice: “What will be staged here tonight is a play with ‘Josephine’ as the main character, and Miss Mu Shuli is the leading role.”

Mu Shuli probably thought that this group of people came for her, but Dr. Ali’s question exposed the cold fact: he didn’t know that the crew here was about to perform a play about “Josephine”. That’s why Mu Shuli felt offended.

Although some enthusiastic little girls explained, some people still couldn’t understand.

Suzuki Sonoko felt that Josephine’s name sounded familiar, but he couldn’t remember it for a while, so he had to go to Jiang Xia’s side, pretending to be discussing important issues, and secretly whispered some basic questions solemnly: “…Who is Josephine? ”

“Napoleon’s first wife was also the first queen.” Jiang Xia thought for a while, “I heard that this lady was saved from being given to death because of her beautiful appearance during the French Revolution. After she was with Napoleon, for this The emperor has provided a lot of help. But there are also some unknown rumors, saying that as a legendary courtesan, she is not specific in terms of feelings, and has many lovers in private.”

And tonight, the stage play “Josephine” to be staged in this theater is about the life of this legendary queen. Mu Shuli in front of her is the leading actor of this drama, and she will wear this dazzling sapphire ring on the stage at that time.

Conan is not distracted now, and concentrates on collecting clues about this case—although there is no evidence at all, but only relying on the “Tokyo people in London” and “performing in a venue with a ‘stage’” Two o’clock is enough to arouse his vigilance.

In short, Conan always feels that the current troupe may also be the target of “that adult”.

He wanted to prevent the tragedy that happened on the stage…Of course, if the misfortune cannot be stopped, at least he must find clues from it, and prepare to bring the real culprit to justice one day, and comfort those prop people who were tragically killed.

…

So Conan also listened very carefully. Knowing that the actor in front of him was going to play “Josephine”, he had an understanding of Kidd’s strange behavior: “No wonder Kidd sent a bouquet of roses as a gift when he sent the teaser letter – it is said that Josephine’s favorite Rose.”

Mu Shuli raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at this cute little boy, and laughed: “Little brother has a lot of knowledge, he even knows this.”

Conan has already had a conditioned reflex in the face of such keywords: “Haha, brother Jiang Xia taught them all.”

Mu Shuli looked at Jiang Xia, his eyes became more appreciative.

Suzuki Sonoko: “…”

Conan was stared at inexplicably, he scratched his head, confused.

However, this classmate was already out of his mind, so Conan didn’t bother to analyze Suzuki Sonoko’s elusive thoughts.

He continued to look at the notice letter, thinking about what Kidd wanted to express.

According to the usual practice, the notice letter given by Kidd will include the time and specific location of his appearance. As long as the puzzles in the notice letter are solved, an ambush can be carried out precisely where Kidd appears.

… Although it is still a question of whether people can be caught, this way at least they can have a few conversations.

After all, even though it is normal for the international phantom thief to go abroad, Conan still couldn’t help but feel a thump in his heart when he appeared in London at this time.

He couldn’t help but wonder: Is this strange thief also related to “that lord”. Although Kidd is not the kind of guy who would help others, what if he is not an accomplice, but a target targeted by that mysterious cadre?

A powerful and tyrannical bandit may also attract the attention of the organization and become the target of “that lord” to recruit or destroy.

…

He is habitually tracing the terrifying silhouette of “that lord” in his mind.

At this time, the door was knocked suddenly, and someone came.

After a few people chatted, the assistant standing next to him hurried over and opened the door.

Jiang Xia looked away from the notice letter, looked up at the door, and saw an impressive face—the Nakamori Police Department.

This is the police officer of the second search section of the Metropolitan Police Department. I heard that he has been chasing two generations of Kidd for nearly 20 years. So far, he has never caught anyone, but he has never been discouraged. He must show up everywhere.

It’s just that Jiang Xia didn’t expect that the policeman would follow him when he went abroad. He froze for a moment: “It’s you.”

The Zhongmori police department followed the sound and looked at Jiang Xia, also startled, and then jumped up with his eyelids: “…” Why is it this detective who is fishing for fish again!

Although the policemen in the first search class always said that Jiang Xia was very easy to use, and they praised this detective so much that the police from other districts and counties came here on business trips. It proves that Jiang Xia seems to be only interested in murder cases.

Nakamori Police Department: “…” In the face of a thief like Kaito Kidd who doesn’t like to kill, Jiang Xia always likes to come to the scene for a couple of laps, but he usually finds a corner and leans on the sofa to catch up on sleep , It makes people suspect that he is here to help Kidd look out. On the contrary, the kid brought by Jiang Xia is always running around, trying to help catch the strange thief, more active than the police.

If it weren’t for the occasional homicide at the theft scene, and Jiang Xia’s speed of solving the case would allow them to not be distracted from that case and concentrate on catching the strange thief… The Zhongmori Police Department would never let Jiang Xia step into the scene where Kidd haunts.

Nakamori Police Department: “…” Huh? In this way, is Jiang Xia’s insistence on coming to Kidd’s theft scene not because he is waiting for the strange thief, but because he simply wants to see if there are any cases around?
