Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 288 Melaleuca Routine

   Jiang Xia successfully interrupted an inquiry.

Then he looked at the Mumu Police Department who followed him, and said perfunctorily before the other party opened his mouth: "I briefly talked to him before, and from what he said, he seems to have an accomplice. If I call the police directly, I am worried that I will be arrested. The accomplice heard it, so I want to take the person to a hidden place first, lead out the accomplice, or directly ask where his accomplice is..."

  Mumu Police Department: "..."

  This...he actually believed more than half of it.

  ...mainly because he believed that Jiang Xia really wanted to deceive the gangster's other accomplice, because he could beat two people at the same time.

   also believed that Jiang Xia really wanted to "ask" his accomplice's intentions. After all, it was not the first time he had done such a thing.

As for the remaining "untrustworthy" half, it is the so-called "worry of being monitored by his accomplices" - Jiang Xia is a detective after all. It is really not difficult to get out the monitoring device.

  Mumu's police department had a lot of groans and wanted to vomit, but after glancing at the excited TV station staff behind him, he nodded and pretended to believe Jiang Xia's nonsense.

   Several police officers who often encountered Jiang Xia stepped forward, helped the prisoner on the ground, and skillfully lowered the prisoner's clothes to cover Hiruda's hands and face.

  ... There must be traces of being beaten down below. Fortunately, the prisoners are all in good health. When they return to the police station, the traces will basically disappear, and people can wake up without any sequelae.

   The scene was hectic and orderly, but no one asked Jiang Xia why he knew the photographer had a problem. Perhaps they have all implicitly accepted the detective's strong observation ability and can see through the setting of the criminal's violations at a glance...

  …

  When the police put the gangster into the police car, it happened to be the end of the game whistle.

  This time, Jiang Xia finally remembered that there was a senior who brought him here to investigate the case, so he returned to his original position and joined the senior who seemed to be in a ghostly flame.

   Endo Mami took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He was speechless at Jiang Xia's behavior of disappearing without a dove, but more than a pigeon.

  ... But in any case, being able to ask people out is the beginning of success - as a person who has a plan and is organized, this is just a small start in her plan.

   And, at least Jiang Xia still remembered to come back to find her, maybe he really had something to do just now...

   Endo Asami quickly convinced herself.

   She turned the page of today's events and started the next plan.

   On the way out of the stadium, Endo Mami lowered her head a little desolately, and said with just the right guilt tone: "Sorry, I forgot to ask you if you like football before...Is it boring you."

   Jiang Xia described truthfully: "No, I'm very happy."

   Endo Mami nodded inwardly, and was not surprised by the answer: courtesy, this is a basic courtesy. After all, she is the host today, but as long as a guest with normal emotional intelligence, it is impossible to say "Today is really boring" in front of her.

  Everything is under control. Endo Mami continued: "I didn't think about it this time. But there is another thing you will definitely be interested in - in a few days, I will organize a real-life reasoning game here, and there will be many reasoning enthusiasts participating. , do you want to take a look together?"

... If Jiang Xia dares to refuse, she can say, "Hey, the activities I chose are really boring," with just the right amount of fragile tears... In this way, in order to deny this, Jiang Xia can only agree Her request to "play again". Endo Asami cracked the small abacus in her heart.

   However, there is a slight difference from the script, Jiang Xia did not refuse, but repeated as if confirming: "A real-life reasoning game?"

   Endo Mami was startled, then nodded: "Yeah!"

  ...Actually, there will be an event on her side in a few days.

   But the focus of the event is not the reasoning game, but her birthday.

  ——On that day, the society she is currently in will rent a villa to celebrate her birthday. The reasoning game is just one part of the birthday party.

   But at this time, Asami Endo concealed the news.

The ostensible reason for    is that suddenly bringing up such a thing is like asking Jiang Xia for a birthday present, and she will be embarrassed.

   In fact... Endo Mami felt that through today's events, she found that Jiang Xia might be more interested in the reasoning game at the party than her birthday. This kind of argument makes it easier to invite people.

   More importantly, when Jiang Xia came to take a look, he found that Senior Sister was celebrating her birthday today, but he didn't prepare a gift, and most likely wanted to make it up.

When    falls, you can logically use reasons such as "gifts are never important as long as your heart arrives", and propose "use her to play with her as a gift", so that it should not be rejected.

   Endo Mami thought of this and felt like she was a genius. In the past, I didn't put my mind on attacking others, otherwise I would definitely be unfavorable... No, now she can also be unfavorable, Jiang Xia will never become the -1 in her life record!

   Jiang Xia didn't have the ability to read minds, and she didn't know that the girl walking quietly beside her at this time, the calculation speed in her brain was about to catch up with Conan in the brain.

   He just searched for the keyword "real person reasoning game" in his mind again.

  Thinking about it, Jiang Xia's mind gradually came to the scene of a group of detectives being locked up in a certain villa in the mountains, staged a scene of no survivors... and then silently dismissed the scene. No, it shouldn't be this.

   He didn't think of any case.

   But I just got into the half-court race, and now doesn't seem like a good time to say no. And now, it seems that senior sister also has some incidental physique, maybe he will have a flat tire on the way to the appointment, and then meet the professional team of Death God when repairing the car...

   Thinking so, Jiang Xia added a "real person reasoning game" schedule to his schedule.

  …

  Jiangxia spent a few days in the three-point and first-line life of "Detective Agency", "Home" and "Late Night Highway".

   I thought that my peaceful life would not be broken until I went to participate in the deduction game of Endo Asami.

   Before that, Jiang Xia met an unexpected guest near his house.

  ——The angry Kudo Yukiko. Conan's mother.

   She forgot to bring the key to the house, wandered in front of Kudo's house for a while, and suddenly kicked the door angrily, looking like she was angry about something.

   Jiang Xia hesitated for a while, then approached her and asked politely, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

   The angry Kudo Yukiko regained her senses, and when she saw it was him, her anger subsided a little.

   She strode up to Jiang Xia's side, raised her hand and touched her head without seeing anything out of sight: "Okay."

   Jiang Xia ushered in the door and made her a pot of tea.
