Conan’s Corpse Picker

   It happened that the president and the secretary had a quarrel that ended in the middle of the quarrel. The noise was so prominent that several people inside and outside the room were startled at the same time.

  Yoko Kinoshita was dazed at first, and then her heart started beating violently. She didn't expect that such an accident would happen the first time she secretly became an outlaw, and she froze in place for a moment.

   At this moment, Jiang Xia pushed the towering sculpture next to him, put Conan on the ground amidst the rattling sound of the stone sculpture, then grabbed Yoko Kinoshita, and swished her into the next room.

  The moment the door closed, Takei Katsuhiko pushed the door aggressively out of the study next door: "Who's outside!"

  In the corridor, Conan, the only one left, just got up from the ground when he met the ferocious middle-aged man.

   Behind him, the two companions left him and disappeared without knowing when.

  Conan: "..." Jiang Xia! Why don't you run with me!

  Wuju Katsuhiko's face was a little scary, Conan panicked a little guilty, but quickly understood Jiang Xia's intentions - it was obvious that someone was eavesdropping outside, and the two people in the study would definitely come out to look for it. In order to prevent all the staff from being caught, we can only throw a child who will not be held accountable first.

  ... It happened that they would be discovered, and it was also because Conan touched the window.

  Conan: "..." Fortunately, President Takei and the others will at best only alarm the kidnappers and temporarily control his actions because they are worried that he will leak the news. Instead of killing innocent children passing by.

  Even if it is really going to be destroyed, there is still Jiang Xia behind, who can arrest people on the spot.

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Conan quickly calmed down, smiled awkwardly, and explained: "I, I have never seen such a beautiful garden and house, and I can't help but want to come and play... Sorry! I'm leaving now! "

  Before he turned around and ran away, Wuju Katsuhiko picked him up, his brows were gloomy: "Aren't you the kid next to Jiang Xia, did you hear our conversation just now?"

  Secretary Hanai anxiously said: "Don't tell the police what you heard, and don't tell your detective brother, otherwise Naoko will really be killed!"

   Conan was carried in the air, and he nodded obediently.

  But Takei Katsuhiko was still worried. He threw him to Secretary Huajing: "Put this little devil up first, and don't let him go until the matter is over!"

   Secretary Hanai sighed and took Conan.

  Suddenly she became suspicious again: "How did this child reach the window?"

   "!" Kinoshita Yoko hid in the next room, leaning against the door to overhear this sentence, she was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out.

  Jiang Xia glanced at her, and had no choice but to make a silent gesture to remind her.

  Yoko Kinoshita came back to her senses, nodded again and again, and covered her mouth carefully, so as not to startle the people outside by making a sound: "..." Today's experience is too exciting! Field practice is really different from on-set performance. She feels that her acting path seems to have broadened again. In the future, if she plays the unlucky heroine who is chased to a desperate situation by a murderer, or some novice little fool, she will definitely fit into the script perfectly.

   Fortunately, Secretary Hanai's suspicion did not magnify. Because President Wuju quickly gave an explanation, he snorted coldly: "When I went out, the statue was shaking. This kid must have climbed up on the statue, and then fell down after not standing still... How dare you step on my newly bought one?" When the matter is over, I must have a good chat with his parents!"

  Although he was angry, but now is not the time to argue with the child, Takei Katsuhiko threw the person to Secretary Hanai, and went back to the study to continue collecting the ransom.

  Secretary Hanai looked down at Conan, touched his head, and pulled him to the next room, intending to lock him here temporarily.

   And in the next room, there are still two detectives and accomplices hiding in other people's houses.

  Yoko Kinoshita was stunned for a moment when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and suddenly lost her mind to think about the script, and frantically blinked at Jiang Xia to remind her.

  Jiang Xia looked at this unprofessional star in breaking the law, sighed, and silently pointed to the door next to the two.

  The door here opens inwards, so Jiang Xia took people to hide behind the door just now. As long as Secretary Huajing doesn't go deep, it's hard to find them there.

   Just after pointing, the door was pushed open. The door opened to nearly ninety degrees separated them from Secretary Hanai.

   Secretary Hanai really didn't go deep. She gently pushed Conan into the room, and whispered: "Sorry, you stay here for a while, and I will let you go after the transaction is over tonight. It won't take too long."

  Conan looked up at her, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a skirt behind the door.

  He just remembered that Jiang Xia and Yoko Kinoshita seemed to be hiding in the direction of this room just now.

  Secretary Hanai didn't leave, she seemed to want to close the door and say something. Conan was startled, and quickly grabbed her before she closed the door, and asked nonchalantly, "What did the kidnapper ask you to do?"

  Secretary Huajing was more patient with children, so she ignored the door and knelt down to answer his question: "Same as last time, use money to redeem him."

   As she spoke, her face became gloomy uncontrollably: "It's a pity that to that bastard, only money is the most important thing."

  Yoko Kinoshita was taken aback by her sudden tone. In fact, she was not so surprised at ordinary times, but this time she was really guilty, and shivered and hid behind the door with Jiang Xia, who looked like a big boss in a horror movie.

  Jiang Xia tilted her head to listen to Secretary Hanai's voice, calculated her position, then followed the route with her gaze, and landed on Yoko Kinoshita's skirt.

  This skirt is relatively fluffy. It is the kind of long skirt with tulle that is popular among young girls recently. It looks good on the outside, but it is not convenient when you are hiding from people.

  Yoko Kinoshita saw Jiang Xia's eyes and realized the problem belatedly. She hastily pressed down the hem of the skirt, pressing down the corners of the skirt that might be exposed to Secretary Hanai's view.

  The skirt made a little fabric rubbing sound.

  Jiang Xia: "..."

  Secretary Hanai was talking to Conan. Her own voice covered most of the movement, but she still vaguely felt something was wrong.

  Seeing that she was going to look back, Xiaobai panicked, and with Jiang Xia's acquiescence, raised his hand and used the skill of forcing a confession.

  Secretary Hanai's heart beat violently, as if an invisible electric current passed through her.

  The next moment, she lowered her head, looked at Conan in front of her, and suddenly wanted to hug the child.

  Conan was stared at by her with a strange expression, and cold sweat broke out: "?"

Secretary Huai's eyes became gentle. She shouldn't have mentioned this matter at this time, but for some reason she couldn't control it and blurted out: "I used to have a younger brother who was as old as you. But he died at 4 years ago."
