Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Without the two groups of murderous energy sources, this restaurant with a good reputation suddenly became a crowded shop.

  Jiang Xia looked at the menu with a bit of boredom on his cheeks, waited for a while, and finally waited until the other three classmates who could chat very well finished eating.

   The four of them packed a little convenience food for the detectives who had been sleepless, and then left the restaurant, preparing to go to Osaka Castle to see how things were going.

  …

   All the way to the bridge, you can see the opposite Tianshou Pavilion in the distance.

   "I don't know if they have solved the case. Alas, how can we stay away from these endless cases."

Yuan Shan and Ye yawned sleepily: "But speaking of it, why are there so many scorched corpses in Osaka Castle? Thirteen years ago, it happened a few weeks ago, and now it's happening again. The time interval is getting shorter and shorter. "

   Being summed up by her, an ordinary case seemed to become scary.

   "Those scorched corpses seem to have fragments of golden gourds on them." Mo Lilan, who was afraid of ghosts, thought of something and shivered, "Could this be a curse from Toyotomi Hideyoshi?"

Yuan Shan and Ye are not so afraid of ghosts, but in the quiet night, coupled with a series of cases, she couldn't help but feel empty at this time, but her mouth was still hard: "It doesn't matter, we have no fragments, even if it is a curse, it must be It won't fall on us!"

  Suzuki Sonoko was also a little flustered.

But when she found that the other two were more flustered than her, and that there was Jiangxia town next to her, she couldn't help but play her heart and said quietly: "But did the deceased bring the fragments with them, or did they appear suddenly after death? This point is still undecided - maybe Toyotomi Hideyoshi's undead slept for many years, and suddenly found that someone dared to covet his treasure, so he quietly burned those people to death, and put a fragment on them as a token... ah !"

   Before she could finish her words, she bumped into Jiang Xia's back and startled herself instead. She turned her head in panic and looked around: "What's the matter?! What's wrong?!"... There won't really be undead, she, she just said it casually, no offense!

   Jiang Xia looked back at her: "It's nothing. I saw a strange shadow on the bridge just now, so I wanted to stop and take a closer look... But looking at it now, it should be just one person."

   "...strange shadows?"

   The three girls were slightly startled, and followed his direction.

   There are no street lights here, and the light is dim. Looking across the bridge from this angle, the Tianshou Pavilion, hundreds of meters away, is the most conspicuous. During the day, the exquisite and beautiful high-rise buildings are illuminated by several beams of pale light, and the lights hit from bottom to top, which is gloomy.

  "..." They shuddered and tried to focus their eyes on the bridge.

   After taking a closer look, I saw that the middle section of this dark bridge indeed had a human-shaped silhouette.

  The man was dressed in black and stood with his back to them. The loose clothes were blown by the wind, and the whole figure seemed to sway with the wind.

  Mao Lilan took a deep breath and whispered to a few classmates tremblingly, "...Are you a human or a ghost?"

   Jiang Xia was about to speak, but at this time, with the faint sound of "clicking", in front of the mysterious man, a flame lit up, clearly showing his outline.

  "!" The three girls froze, and said in unison, "...Ghost fire! It's ghost fire!"...

   Almost at the same time, Jiang Xia felt a terrified hand grab onto his arm, pinching the corners of his eyes.

   He tried to dodge, but couldn't - Maurilan grabbed the other arm. Perhaps it was fear that awakened the power deep within her body, and Jiang Xia was completely unable to pull his arm out of her for a while.

   Feeling the strength of classmate Maori gradually losing control, in order to save his arm, Jiang Xia had no choice but to comfort him: "Calm down, ghosts won't get angry."

   "Huh?" Yuan Shan and Ye were stunned, "What would the ghost do?"

   "..." Jiang Xia was silent for a while, but Quan Dang didn't hear the question, "I mean, that light doesn't look like a ghost fire, it should be the light of a lighter."

"lighter?"

   This kind of life-like thing made the three people's thoughts quickly fall from the "Warring States Dead Spirit" back to reality.

   And the shadows in front of them kept moving, plus Jiang Xia looked very reliable, so they calmed down a little.

   At this moment, the shadow just turned slightly to the side, and saw that what it was holding was indeed a windproof lighter. The lighter shell is bright and modern, and it's not something Toyotomi Hideyoshi can have.

  Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his chest in shock: "It's good to have a real body."

  Jiang Xia successfully rescued his arm. He moved quietly and worriedly, and was relieved to find that everything was in good condition and his arm was not broken.

   Yuanshan and Ye also jumped up and down again. She looked at Jiang Xia in surprise: "You can actually tell that it's a lighter at such a distance?"

   "Of course." Suzuki Sonoko became proud of him first, "Jiang Xia is a professional!"

  ... Not only is the detective profession, but she remembers that Jiang Xia always carries a lighter and cigarettes with her. Moreover, his cigarettes are still homemade, which cannot be bought in the market at all, and they look very particular.

  Suzuki Sonoko: "..." It's just that Jiang Xia is rarely seen smoking. Most of the time, he just lights a cigarette, then looks at it, and occasionally takes a sip when he is sleepy. Maybe the drifting smoke can give him inspiration.

   In short, since the shadow on the bridge is a human, there is no problem.

  The three girls are no longer afraid and plan to follow Jiang Xia across the bridge.

   But just after taking a step, the shadow suddenly put the lighter on his arm in the rain.

  Boom—

   The light of the fire suddenly lit up, and the man burned at an eerie speed, turning into a burning man in the blink of an eye. The figure wrapped in flames staggered in pain, suddenly fell to the side of the bridge, rolled over the bridge in the blink of an eye, and thumped into the river.

  "?!" Several young witnesses were startled, and they couldn't tell whether the man was committing suicide or if he regretted it immediately after committing suicide, so he quickly jumped into the river again.

   They quickly ran to the bridge and looked outside the fence. They saw the man floating face down in the river, his back surfaced out of the water was a blazing fire, and the whole person was motionless, as if he was dead.

   Almost at the same time, on the other side of the bridge, a man with an umbrella also saw this scene and was stunned.

   In the dim light, it is difficult for ordinary people to see his face clearly.

   Jiang Xia turned his head to look and asked, "Who?"

  The man came back to his senses, turned around in a hurry, and ran away quickly.

   "I'll go take a look, you remember to call the police."

  Jiang Xia left the matter of calling the police to three classmates and chased in the direction the man left.

  .
