Conan’s Corpse Picker

  The black cloud treading snow cat was startled by Belmode's movement, and looked up at her. Seeing that she didn't make any further moves, she didn't pay much attention to it, and turned her head to look at the car again.

   However, the car has gone far.

  The cat put its paws on the railing and sighed.

  Bermode: "..." Sighed? ?

  ...Maybe I was tired from standing for too long, so I exhaled suddenly. That's right, how can a cat sigh because it can't see the excitement.

  Under her complicated gaze, the cat landed on the ground again, and quickly rattled away along the road.

Belmode looked at the back of the cat going away, with complicated eyes: This cat is very familiar, she has seen it in her yard, and I heard that it often appears next to the gin—if I remember correctly, it is a free-range Uzo s cat.

  Bermode: "..." Sure enough, as those two people said, Uzo's cat looks a bit like Uzo. At least the happy look just now is very similar.

   Speaking of which, does this cat carry a camera or something similar, and is it a scout specially released by Uzo to observe the situation?

  She breathed a sigh of relief silently: Fortunately, she didn't run to dispose of the corpse for fun just now.

   After a moment of silence on the empty bridge, Belmode left silently: Forget it, she will not interfere in the recent affairs—it’s rare that she is not in the center of the whirlpool, so it’s better to be quiet and watch the show in comfort.

   After all, it is well known that Uzo's destructive power sometimes depends on the strength of the people around him.

  Belmode doesn't pay much attention to ordinary murderers and thieves. But now, seeing that Bourbon and Ireland were about to send it up by themselves, she didn't want to get involved in this melee for no reason.

  The slightly tired "doctor" left quickly, and a gust of wind blew by, leaving the bridge empty and calm again.

  …

After one hour.

  It was getting dark, Jiang Xia drove the cat around the territory of Tokyo, and opened his eyes at home.

   Before he had time to think, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

  He walked over to open the door and saw Hui Yuanai carrying a lunch box, familiarly climbing over the wall blasted by Dr. A Li's new invention, and came to visit.

   "It just so happened that I made too much today, I couldn't finish it, so I brought it for you for supper."

   While talking, Hui Yuanai took out fresh meals and put them on the table: She also watched today's live broadcast, and knew that there was an accident in the afternoon, and Jiang Xia must be busy solving the case, so I don't know if she ate on time.

  After taking the food, Hui Yuanai looked up at Jiang Xia and found the problem: "What's wrong, you're in a bad mood?"

  Jiang Xia sighed, and said with emotion: "Riddlers are really annoying."

   Hui Yuanai was taken aback: "Is it the president who doesn't care much about kidnapping? He has important clues to hide from you?"

  Jiang Xia came back to his senses and shook his head. What's the matter with the president is the problem of those two colleagues.

   But it was inconvenient to tell the cowardly defected cadre in front of him, so in the end he just said: "This is the detective's secret."

Haibara Ai:"…"

   Heh, the Riddler is so annoying.

  …

  Jiang Xia actually remembered what he saw on the bridge just now.

  After those two people left, he deliberately drove the cat to chase them. It is rare that Toru Amuro and Ireland met on a narrow road. Originally, they thought they would be able to listen to a wonderful and interesting conversation. Unexpectedly, these two people were very wary of each other. They just found a place with no cameras and no passers-by, and tried a few words with each other.

   It can be seen that Ireland is also afraid, and dare not speak too clearly, so that in the end their conversation made zero progress. The passing cats were speechless. Fortunately, when the two men confronted each other, they did not lose their murderous aura. There was coffee and smoke, which was very refreshing.

  When Jiang Xia was distracted and eating the snacks brought by Hui Yuan Ai, Hui Yuan Ai was also secretly observing him.

   Huiyuan Ai suddenly realized while watching the live broadcast that the van crashing into the river was actually a car accident. So she was not at ease, and came here to see if Jiang Xia was affected.

Then Hui Yuanai was relieved to find that Jiang Xia was far away when the incident happened and did not see the scene of the collision, or maybe he just experienced an accident and practiced it... In short, the young detective seems to be doing well now, but still The same old way, distracted.

   Hui Yuanai's eyes fell on Jiang Xia's hand again, seeing that he should eat and drink while distracted, so he understood that the problem was not serious.

  She was relieved, and then she took out the magazine she brought along, and sat next to Jiang Xia to read it.

   Turned around for a while, and found that Jiang Xia had finished eating, Hui Yuanai put those small boxes back into the lunch box, and looked at Jiang Xia again: "Don't be too tired, if there are too many cases, you can dismiss them."

  Jiang Xia: "It's okay, I like solving cases."

   Talking about thinking of something, she looked at her and said solemnly: "If you encounter similar things by chance, you must find me immediately. Otherwise, you group of children will fight wits with prisoners, and I am really worried about your safety."

   Hui Yuanai sighed tolerantly: "Okay, okay." Just pretend that you are really worried about the child.

  …

  Jiang Xia got up the next day and glanced at the news. Today's schedule is to solve the kidnapping case that was not solved yesterday.

  But compared to the kidnapping case, Jiang Xia first thought of Toru Amuro and Ireland yesterday.

Revisiting the conversation process between the two riddlemen, he was relieved to realize that although the conversation hadn't progressed, the two people didn't seem to have completely cut off contact. You should be able to talk calmly in a place where you can rest assured.

  Jiang Xia: "..." I don't know what countermeasures they will discuss in the end, it's really exciting.

   After washing, the door was knocked several times.

   When regular guests come to visit, it is usually the doorbell that rings. Only when Conan or Haibara Ai came to the door, there was still such a knock on the door.

  Opened the door and saw Hui Yuanai came with breakfast again.

  She walked to the dining table familiarly, raised her head and hugged the lunch box to the table: "I haven't cooked for myself for a while, so I can't measure it properly, and I cook too much."

  Although Jiang Xia hasn't said that she wants to eat her food recently, the two families are close to each other anyway, so I stopped by to have a look.

   After finishing speaking, Hui Yuanai jumped on the stool and sat down, and took out the breakfast in the lunch box. In addition to the meat and vegetable dishes, she also casually passed a cup of coffee to Jiang Xia while chatting.

  Jiang Xia picked it up, took a sip, and suddenly froze: "...what is this?"

   Hui Yuanai's eyes fluttered.

But soon, she changed her strategy again, and took a full-on sniff, and then covered her lips in surprise: "Accidentally mixed up with supplements—what should I do, drink it all, or why don't you just finish it? This is my recently improved version, which is just right for teenagers."
