Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 106 Don't Pick Up Your Own Vest Anymore

   Jiang Xia was thinking about which window to sneak into the doctor's house at night, when the doorbell rang suddenly.

   He opened the door and found that it was Haibara Ai. The little girl stood at the door of his house with a sad expression, and almost wrote the words "I'm here to die" on her forehead.

  Haihara Ai raised his head and glanced at Jiang Xia, and whispered, "Don't tell them I'm here."

   Jiang Xia was stunned, and soon realized the subtext and background of Hui Yuan's wailing words - she seemed to be just like Conan in KTV, firmly believing that Jiang Xia recognized her identity.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

  ...Why do one or two like to take off their vests to show him.

   Does he look like the kind of guy who likes to pick up horses?

   Jiang Xia looked at the resolute Huiyuan Ai, and sighed in disappointment—the joy I just picked up, slap, gone.

   But forget it, anyway, Haibara Ai's side will be broken sooner or later, and now it's only a few hours earlier.

  Jiang Xia listlessly rubbed Haibara Ai's head again, and replied to what she just said: "Yes. But in exchange, you have to pretend that you don't know me-today is our first meeting."

   Jiang Xia finalized this py transaction without any twists and turns, and turned around and went back to the house, intending to continue to roll the ghost mint.

  Haihara Ai looked at his back and was shocked: "..."

  Wait a minute...that's not right!

  ——Jiang Xia clearly hates her so much, and he has always attached great importance to the mission of the organization. The matter of "Xue Li's defection" was by no means a trivial matter for the organization, and Jiang Xia would never let her go.

So originally, Haibara Ai's planned line was "You can kill me for revenge, but I hope this will end here, please don't bring my body back to the organization and don't kill the old grandpa next door" or something like that, but why? ...

On the way to   , Haibara Ai was mentally prepared to be corpse on the street. So now, she is much more courageous than usual.

   She pushed open the door and chased Jiang Xia's house, hugged his arm, and wanted to ask, "You..."

"I haven't received the task of catching you back." The moment she opened her mouth, Jiang Xia stifled a series of questions from Hui Yuanai at the budding stage - when she entered the door just now, Jiang Xia vaguely saw the doctor carrying something , walked over to him, if Haibara Ai's lines were too long, he would risk falling from the old man's horse.

He then said succinctly: "Work is work, life is life. When I don't get a job, I just want to spend every day peacefully like an ordinary high school student, so if possible, I hope you don't always stand in front of me. Bring up the organization."

   Haibara Ai looked at him and was stunned.

   That terrifying, cold-blooded organization that seems to be everywhere, in Jiang Xia's eyes...is it just a job? ?

  Before... Jiang Xia despised her so much before, was it not because he hated his parents, but because in Jiang Xia's eyes, he was just a side leader who could cause him to work overtime at any time?

   If you think about it this way, it is true that Jiang Xia helped to find something she lost several times...

Thinking of this, Hai Yuanai suddenly felt a little guilty and a little distressed—Jiang Xia definitely didn’t think so openly from the beginning. He could lightly divide the organization into “work”, which is more like “good mentality”. It's the sudden calm after the storm.

   Think about it too, a year ago, Jiang Xia was still on the brink of death...

  Haihara Ai's hand that held Jiang Xia's arm involuntarily loosened and touched his left wrist.

   You can feel the raised scar on the thin wristband. Haiyuan's mournful eyes were complicated, and his fingers stopped on it for a while, feeling that he should ask "does it hurt?" sadly at this time.

   However, when he looked up, he saw that Jiang Xia was silently staring at her with a condemning look of "I took you as a partner and you actually insulted me".

Haibara Ai:"……"

   She quickly withdrew her hand: "I didn't mean that!"

   Jiang Xia nodded perfunctorily: "Well, I understand, you just slipped your hand and accidentally touched me." It was exactly the same tone as the honest man when he dealt with the rogue who refused to acknowledge his account on the bus.

  A blue vein popped out of Huiyuan's forehead: "I...!"

   "Xiao Ai! You didn't bring a lunch box." Dr. A Li's voice came from the door.

  Haihara froze for a while. She remembered her promise to help Jiang Xia cover her waistcoat. She took a deep breath and swallowed all the words she wanted to refute, almost suffocating her internal injuries.

   In her impression, Jiang Xia is clearly a work machine with strict rules, dedicated to the organization, no desire to survive, no feelings, and occasionally self-destructive tendencies.

  Why now...

  Haihara Ai's mood is extremely complicated.

   But when I think about it, I think it actually has the advantage—if Jiang Xia is really the character she imagined, at this time, she must have been lying on the dissection table of the organization...

  Dr. A Li walked into the room, always feeling a little strange atmosphere.

   He rubbed the back of his head in an unknown situation. He first put the heavy lunch box next to Jiang Xia, and then looked at Hai Yuanai suspiciously: "What happened to you just now? Suddenly rushed out the door..."

   "It's nothing." Haibara Ai turned her eyes away, and instantly returned to her usual indifferent and calm expression.

She straightened her messy hair just now, eloquently said: "I just didn't expect that someone could accept the 'adults getting smaller' without hindrance... I used to think that my research theory few people can Accepted, so I was a little excited for a while."

   "That's it." Dr. A Li miraculously connected his brain circuit - he understands! It is probably the feeling of meeting a confidant. As a wonderful inventor, he really understands it very well, but...

  Dr. A Li pointed to himself and said softly, "Well, don't I also accept your theory..."

"You are different. You are old, and you are more accepting of this kind of strange power than others." Hai Yuanai's eyes flicked past the doctor and fell on Jiang Xia, and found that Jiang Xia had been attracted by Fanxiang. , opened the lunch box.

Her eyes softened a little, she turned and walked out the door, pulling the doctor away by the way, while instilling fallacies: "Young people are the representatives of the trend of the new era, he can accept this, it shows that my research direction is very promising... By the way, you You haven't told Kudo Shinichi about me yet."

Dr.    was completely led by Haibara Ai. Hearing the little girl say that, he immediately forgot the topic just now and replied, "Not yet."

  Dr. A Li originally wanted to tell Conan. But Haiyuan woke up faster than he thought. The doctor was addicted to taking care of this newly found little girl, experienced the joy of being an old father, and temporarily forgot about it.

   "That's right." Haibara Ai walked down the street, turned around and gave the doctor an inexplicable smile, "Don't tell him yet, I want to contact him myself, okay?"
