Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 114 Your legs are destined for me

  Jiang Xia raised his hand, revealing the dark stars in the palm of his hand: "It was given to me by a passing elder sister, let me return it to the owner of this ship."

   The Nakamori Police Department turned around and was shocked: "Dark Stars?!"

He pounced beside Jiang Xia and said excitedly: "Where is that person? Where did he run to? How did you meet him?... The color of this pearl doesn't seem right. Also, why are you alone on the deck? Running around? Where are your parents? Who did you come with today?"

   Listening to his series of questions, the child wrapped a scarf without saying a word, and ducked behind a female police officer nearby.

The Nakamori Police Department wanted to come over to ask questions, but was stopped by his subordinates, who pressed their foreheads: "Police Department, you will scare the child like this! He suddenly met Kidd and was used by the thief. He must be very scared now, don't be so strict. Ask him, he is not a criminal!"

……scared?

  Conan looked at the children of the same age in front of him. The other party had already pulled the scarf to cover half of his face, so he couldn't see his expression at all.

   But... the police officer also made sense. Even if a child of this age was not frightened by Kidd, he must have been frightened by the fierce face of Nakamori Police Department Zhang suddenly approaching.

   But this kid, as the last person to contact Kidd, might really be able to provide some information, but he couldn't completely ignore it.

  Conan thought for a while, and relied on the fact that he looked like his peers, he approached friendly: "Do you remember where the big sister who was passing by went? He...cough, why did she suddenly give you pearls?"

   Jiang Xia was very satisfied with Conan's questions - he asked more questions than the Nakamori Police Department just now, perfectly avoiding the part he didn't want to answer.

As an encouragement, Jiang Xia threw the useless pearl into Conan's hand: "She asked me to pick her up in the lifeboat later, this is the reward she gave me, but I don't think the color looks good... I'll give it to you anyway. Bar."

   "Lifeboat?" Conan thought of something, and his face changed. He pulled his legs and ran over there, and the other police officers followed after him.

   In the chaos, the female police officer opened her hand to stop the "children who were misused by Kidd" behind her.

   When the surroundings finally quieted down, she breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to send the cute child back to the cabin, rubbing her head by the way. But when he turned around, he found that there was no one behind him.

  The policeman looked at the empty deck, and then at the railing with a huge gap: "..."

  ...Isn't he being pushed into the sea by those reckless colleagues? ! !

  …

   Jiang Xia pointed out the lifeboat to the police because the authentic Mao Lilan was hidden in the lifeboat by Kidd.

   When both the police and Conan rushed to save people, he took advantage of the chaos to disperse the puppet and returned to his body. The energy core peeled off from the dark stars was also swept up by ghosts and returned to the tattoo on Jiang Xia's heart.

The    energy core is a balanced upgrade for all ghosts. Once it is put into the pattern, it will moisten all the souls that have contracted with the psychic, including the shikigami, so there is no need to worry about which ghost to upgrade first.

   Throwing down an energy core, a few ghosts can be seen to improve a little bit of accuracy... In layman's terms, the style of painting is more refined than before.

After the    upgrade, when you make a puppet, the strength of the puppet will increase to a certain extent compared to before.

   For example, if you want to use Xiaobai to destroy the tire in the future, maybe you don't need to gnaw on your upper teeth, you can just tear it apart with your fingernails.

   In addition, after the ghost fetus is strengthened, it will become able to control the puppet autonomously, instead of being a support to maintain the appearance of the puppet as before.

   But now this little energy core is enough for the puppets to raise their arms and take a step or two. It is still a little far from the kind of good days where a puppet = a younger brother...

  …

   Yachting trip ends soon.

   When Jiang Xia arrived at the port to disembark, he found that many search and rescue boats had gone out. It is said that they were looking for a child who fell into the water and disappeared. His feet froze, and he quickly walked away pretending nothing had happened. What does the kid have to do with him? He's already an 18-year-old reserve adult...

  …

   In the Kidd incident in the second half, Jiang Xia did not appear in the media's field of vision.

   But because he had unpacked the invitation letter in the first half, Jiang Xia's fame was a little higher than before, and the specific performance was that... more people came to him to catch the mistress than before.

   However, the number of homicides remains low.

   However, Jiang Xia's luck was mediocre this time, but Xiaobai seemed to be lucky. After the upgrade, it soon ushered in a concert by Yoko Kinoshita.

   In the past, Yoko Kinoshita often toured around the world, but Jiang Xia refused to leave this treasured place when Conan was still in Tokyo, and Xiaobai missed many concerts.

   But this time is different. This time, the venue for Kinoshita Yoko's concert is set in Tokyo.

   Jiang Xia calculated the distance and found that if something happened around the protagonists, he could come back immediately, so he took Xiaobai out with confidence.

  …

   Jiang Xia set off a little earlier, and when he approached the stadium, the ghosts beside him suddenly muttered.

   He was startled, turned around at the next intersection, and returned to a restaurant.

   It is said that there is a shikigami in it.

   It is rare to encounter a shikigami when you go out.

   The restaurant has a glass door. Before entering, Jiang Xia looked at the situation inside.

   There were not many customers in the store, and Jiang Xia was very surprised to see three people - Maori Lan, Maori Kogoro and Conan.

  Mori Kogoro's face turned blue, and he was struggling to dig out his pockets, as if he was looking for something. Not far from the public phone, there was a strange short-haired woman who was making a call anxiously.

  As soon as Jiang Xia saw her, she felt that this person was destined to him - the woman was wearing a pair of cropped trousers, showing her slender ankles, with a shikigami on her ankles, which seemed to block the wind.
