Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 1369 1369 [Killing Intent]

   Pu Siqinglan opened the door and suddenly saw Jiang Xia's face outside. The corners of her eyes twitched, and the murderous aura that had been loose on her body instantly became firm again.

   Jiang Xia swept her eyes over her, and invited her friendly: "We plan to play poker for a while, let's come together when we have time."

  "..." Pu Siqinglan frowned, her first reaction was to refuse.

The thought of    flashed through her mind, she was slightly startled, and was surprised to find that she actually resisted staying in the same space as Jiang Xia.

This unfamiliar sense of fear actually aroused her vigilance - she is the "Shi Kao soldier" who made the Interpol fearful, but now she actually wants to hide from a high school student who is nothing but good luck. thing.

A   killer must never be afraid to approach his target. No matter how you think about it, entertainment activities such as "playing cards" that can bring closer relationships are a good opportunity for Jiang Xia to let go of his guard.

   Soon, Pu Si Qinglan showed a smile in the disappointed eyes of Suzuki Sonoko: "Okay, wait a moment."

   She turned back to the house and packed her handbag.

  The door was immediately empty, and it was right in front of the TV cabinet.

  Conan glanced inside at random, and suddenly saw a picture frame on the TV cabinet. The back of the photo frame is facing this side, so I can't see what the photo inside looks like, but I can only see a few letters written on the back.

   "…Gregory?"

  Conan muttered and read it out.

  Suzuki Sonoko followed his gaze and found the photo frame on the table.

   She was stunned for a moment, and then she thought: As soon as she arrived in the room, she took out the photo frame and set it up. It seems that this photo is very important to Pu Siqinglan, and she wants to see it every moment.

   She remembered that many people have the habit of carrying photos of important people with them, and suddenly had a guess, her eyes glowed with gossip, and she happily guessed: "It must be the photo of Miss Qinglan's boyfriend!"

   It turns out that she already has a boyfriend, I should have said it earlier, it will startle her.

But soon, Suzuki Yuanzi was startled again: Wait, aside from whether she has a boyfriend or not, before she saw Jiang Xia helping Pu Si Qinglan pick up a mobile phone, Pu Si Qinglan took the opportunity to touch Jiang Xia the back of the hand.

  ... Having a boyfriend and flirting around, doesn't that make things even more terrifying! -A simple perverted nympho, and a perverted **** who is not bound by morality and cheating openly, no matter what you think, the latter is more dangerous!

  Suzuki Sonoko: "..." And, and this chaos of the adult world, may have a more unique appeal to some people. Scumbags are also very good at disguising, and are most likely to deceive sincere people... Thinking about it, her eyes couldn't help but drift to the side.

   Jiang Xia saw her strange face, and was stunned for a moment, what kind of look was this: "What's wrong?"

  Suzuki Sonoko looked at him, and then at Pu Siqinglan who was not far from the room, he hesitated.

  Pu Siqinglan had a good ear and heard their conversation.

   Only then did she realize that she was distracted for a while, and she forgot the name written on the back of the photo frame.

   She walked to the TV cabinet, flipped the photo that she didn't want to be seen upside down, and went out to mix in with the others as if nothing had happened: "Pack up, let's go."

  …

   Half an hour later, in a room on the yacht.

   A group of young people gathered around the table for refreshments, holding black tea, chatting and laughing.

   Actually, several people were playing cards. But the one-sided poker game is really unfriendly to strangers. Although it is just a game, losing all the time also affects the mood.

  Suzuki Sonoko used to play poker with Maorilan a lot and was used to losing. Conan always met Jiang Xia, a guy in a hurry for spoilers, at the crime scene, and now he has already cultivated a leisurely character that is bearish about winning and losing.

   But as the game progressed, the two guests who had just known them for a while, saw their interest waned.

  Suzuki Sonoko, the host, realized that she had chosen the wrong entertainment item, so she changed the content of the small party and replaced it with refreshments and tea - sitting together to eat and drink, so that there is no luck and winning or losing.

   Kasaka Natsumi breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at the poker that Jiang Xia had pushed aside and put away.

In fact, she usually thinks that her card luck is not bad, but today she doesn't know what happened. She lost from the beginning to the end. The good cards are all from Jiang Xia or Mao Lilan, which made her almost think that these high school students are teaming up to perform undefeated magic... Now, the nightmarish game is over.

  …

   Kasaka Natsumi picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, heaved a sigh of relief, and chatted with the high school students about daily life:

   "I've been in Paris since many years ago. So now the words are often out of date, and sometimes a few strange Japanese sentences pop up."

As she said what she suddenly remembered, she nodded her chin and thought: "After returning to Japan, it may be because I saw a familiar environment, and a sentence I heard when I was a child always flashed in my mind - although I barely remember that sentence. Pronunciation, but I can't remember the meaning of the sentence at all...I don't know if it is a unique buzzword of that era."

   "Remember the pronunciation, but don't understand what it means?"

Conan was bored, when he heard this sentence, his eyes lit up: "Maybe it's not a catchphrase, but some kind of anagram - I have some experience in solving puzzles, it's better to say it, we will help you See what it actually means."

   Kasaka Natsumi couldn't help laughing when she saw a first-year elementary school student seriously saying that he was good at solving puzzles.

   However, children's self-confidence is indeed easy to expand, and they will feel that they are omnipotent. She didn't break this beautiful fantasy, she just answered Conan's question bluntly: "That sentence seems to be—"

   She moved her lips lightly, and spit out a string of bala-la-la-like words: "Balushini Kukatamei."

  “…”

   Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko heard that this might be an anagram, and originally planned to join in the fun and interpret one or two.

   But I didn't expect it before I heard it...it would be so weird.

  Conan also took a sip of tea silently, looking at the sea view outside the window, pretending that he was not the one who said he wanted to guess the charade just now, so as to buy himself some time to think.

   Kasaka Natsumi saw that they were silent, so she shared her own guess: "I think this may be asking a person named 'Balu Xue' if he went to buy meat!"

   In Japanese, the pronunciation of "meat" is close to Niku, and "ka da" is very similar to the past tense of "buy". When she explained this, the whole sentence was suddenly not as strange as it was when she first heard it.

  Conan nodded thoughtfully, trying to hear more information: "Who is Balusue?"

   "I don't know either, I've never heard of such a person." Kasaka Natsumi laughed, "But with such a strange way of reading, it's only a person's name that feels this way."
