Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 24 Boy, you are possessed

   When Jiang Xia left the police station, the ghost baby dragged a piece of shikigami about the size of it, and ran to Jiang Xia's side.

   The curator was arrested, and the grievances of the shikigami were dissipated a lot, and he was able to pull off his legs completely.

  Jiang Xia turned into a small street. There was no one around. He bent down and picked up the ghost baby and the shikigami.

  As the curator entered the game, the shikigami's obsession dissipated. Now, it is just a piece of paper shikigami with no emotion.

   Collecting shikigami doesn’t have to be as troublesome as collecting ghosts.

   Jiang Xia pierced his fingertips and pressed the blood bead up.

   A touch of blood was printed on the body of the Shikigami, and the blood red quickly turned black, and finally turned and solidified into the logo of the flower body Z.

   Jiang Xia took the newly acquired ghost, looked at it for a while, and put it into the tattoo space in his heart.

   There are ghosts, murderousness, and Shikigami.

  Although there are very few, but from nothing, it is a qualitative change and a breakthrough.

   Jiang Xia let out a breath of mist, raised the collar of his windbreaker, and walked on the cold street with a blank expression. I want to applaud myself.

  ——After being in this world for so long, I finally look like a psychic.

  …

  Jiang Xia originally thought that another leg-pulling shikigami lacking evidence would take a while to come to fruition.

   He didn't expect to wake up the next day. When he was debating whether to go to class or work in the office, the police station called and told him that the murder case had come to a conclusion and that the police had found evidence.

   Jiang Xia put down the phone with relief.

  Amuroto is really easy to use.

  With this kind of thing, Jiang Xia no longer has to worry about today's itinerary.

  He went straight to the police station.

  …

   At the Metropolitan Police Department, Jiang Xia sent the ghost baby to fetch the shikigami. He himself found a place to sit and looked to the side.

  ——The detective next door who provided clues also came.

   After finishing the transcript, when the police officer sorted out the signed materials, the detective next door flicked the newspaper in Jiang Xia's hand and muttered, "It seems that I will soon have a neighbor with a famous detective."

"Detective?"

   Jiang Xia turned his head to look, and saw a huge photo at a glance - the person on it was himself.

  The background is yesterday's medieval pavilion.

   Last night, when Jiang Xia was blocked by reporters at the door, he didn't say much because he was not skilled in business.

   But the curator next to him was very chatty. The police did not stop the old curator. In this world, the case has no confidentiality.

  The curator looked at the camera at that time, thought for a moment, and praised Jiang Xia.

   may be a sudden realization that the stronger the opponent, the less shameful he loses.

   Besides, besides the curator, last night, the little girl in the kidnapping case also happened to be playing with her dad nearby.

   After the father and daughter encountered this incident, they joined in the fun and shared the touching story of Jiang Xia's rescue of the hostages. They were immediately swarmed by many reporters, besieging them and asking for more details.

   Coupled with some well-informed media, I found out that Jiang Xia is a classmate of Kudo Shinichi.

   As it happens, recently, there has been no news from Kudo Shinichi, who has been in the newspapers frequently. There are rumors that he has been killed.

   So there are gimmicks.

  ——Two high school detectives appeared one after the other, and they happened to be in the same class.

   This kind of coincidence is enough for the media to create several pages out of nothing.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

   He was a little speechless after reading it, feeling that the media in this world has a really big brain hole.

   However, if you want to increase your prestige in a short period of time and get in touch with more people who may become ghosts after death, you need a certain degree of topicality.

   Jiang Xia is different from other high school detectives.

   He doesn't have hundreds of cases to accumulate seniority.

   And such gimmicks like "Kudo Shinichi's ghost possessed" can be like a detective who "will suddenly fall asleep at the crime scene and start reasoning", because of its uniqueness, Jiang Xia quickly became a household name.

  ... In short, it is complicated, and the mood is complicated.

   Jiang Xia silently returned the newspaper, pretended to straighten his trousers, and leaned over to pick up the ghost baby that ran over, and the shikigami that it pulled back.

   Before leaving, the police officer brought two envelopes and gave them a special bonus.

   is said to be because in this case, the deceased was thrown into the ritual ceremony, the body was burned in public, there were many witnesses, and the impact was huge. A successful crack is worthy of commendation.

   Jiang Xia is still the same, he has money to collect money.

When    took the envelope, he touched the rough kraft paper, and always felt that the money had the smell of a salary thief.

  …

   A week later, unsurprisingly, the case of burning corpses at the festival also appeared in the newspapers.

   Jiang Xia looked at his photo, thought about it, bought a few newspapers and a book.

   After returning home, cut out all the deeds with his name and paste them one by one.

   I heard that in this world, many celebrities have the habit of pulling famous detectives to hear stories.

   So Jiang Xia plans to make such a collection first.

   If someone asks in the future, just hand it over and let them see it for themselves.

  …

   The next day, Jiang Xia got up and checked the school schedule.

   There is no exam today.

   So Jiang Xia's comfortable pigeon dropped out of class.

  He carried the kettle and garden shears, and took care of the potted plants at home and the plants grown in the yard-these are all raw materials that can be used in ghost mint.

   During the pruning, Jiang Xia picked off the ripe fruits and leaves, cut them into pieces of suitable size, and spread them out in the basement to dry in the shade.

  The ones that have been dried before are put away and taken to the living room, rolled into homemade cigarettes, and packed in airtight boxes. The process is very skilled.

After    was done, Jiang Xia looked at the time and found that it wasn't noon yet.

   So he brought a cage of cats and planned to go to the detective office to sit and wait for the guests to come.

   Thank you Xiaoke Miaomiao, Bai Sumang, Baibu Huanyang, Zui Liying, Xuanshuijiang, Baita Yunlong for the role rewards~
