Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 71 A new ghost appeared

   Seeing that An Shitou went out with his ghost-picking experience ticket, and immediately wanted to hide himself again, Jiang Xia chased out the door and pulled the boss, trying to discuss: "Why don't I go too?"

   Amuro doubted: "What are you going to do?"

   Jiang Xia said thoughtfully like a serious apprentice: "I'll give you a shot."

  Amuro refused decisively: "No, you work hard."

  The reason for official business didn't work, Jiang Xia thought about it, and changed his way: "This is my coupon."

   "..." Amuro was silent for a moment, then took out his wallet, "Sell it to me."

   "No, it's not for sale." Jiang Xia also felt that he was suspicious, but he thought about the ghost in the distance, and his tone was firm, "What customers send are hearts, how can they be used for profit."

   Amuro Toru: "..."

   He originally wondered if Jiang Xia had ulterior motives - such as gin or some suspicious person asking Jiang Xia to pay attention to his movements.

   But soon, Anshitou thought again that at the beginning, Jiang Xia gave him the ticket easily, and it was only later that suddenly...

   He recalled that before he went out, Jiang Xia took out his mobile phone and searched, as if he understood - Jiang Xia may have suddenly found out that this is a store opened by a celebrity, and the experience coupons are still limited editions, so he wants to join in the fun.

  Jiang Xia saw that Amuro was suddenly silent, and felt that there was a drama.

   He continued to secretly benefit himself: "It's easy to arouse suspicion when you go alone, but it's different with a student. The target will relax their vigilance, and I can help you look out for the wind."

   "Hmm..." Amuro glanced at Jiang Xia. This apprentice is sometimes annoying, but when he is quiet and does not speak, it is indeed easy for people to relax their vigilance...

   Toru Amuro wants the organization to collapse every day, but he will do the mission of the organization seriously.

   First, the boss and colleagues are not all fools, the strokes are too obvious and easy to be seen. The second is what the organization has to do. For their public security, it is usually valuable information, and by the way, they can also accumulate merits and improve their status.

   In addition, in addition to selling the organization on a daily basis, there is actually one more thing that undercover agents should do - instigate new undercover agents.

   It is much more convenient to turn against a known member than to send another undercover agent. Although this has disadvantages, such as it is easy to be backstabbed by the new undercover agent who jumps repeatedly, and even exposes the original undercover agent, but...

  Amuro looked at Jiang Xia silently.

   In fact, he always felt that Jiang Xia was quite suitable for being instigated.

  Although in principle, we must care for minors and care for the future of the island country.

   But if Jiang Xia has to be involved in his own mission, he can also get in touch more and slowly train him in this direction.

   After all, Jiang Xia is not the same as other minors. He seems to have been brought by his parents to mix in the organization since he was a child. He must have done a lot of illegal things. It is too difficult to clean up.

   Jiang Xia saw that Amuro thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

   "I'll give you 15 minutes to pack your luggage and go." After Amuro Toru made his decision, he turned around and went out, "If you're late, you can stay and watch the store."

  15 minutes, about the time it takes Amuro to walk to the nearby parking lot and drive the car from there.

No more   , and his car might get a ticket. After all, it is very close to the Metropolitan Police Department, and there are many law enforcement officers passing by on a daily basis.

   Jiang Xia didn't have much to pack. He went to the convenience store next to him to buy some daily necessities. When he returned to the office, he saw Amuro Toru's car parked at the door.

On the way   , Amuro handed Jiang Xia a photo, and told him about his previous relationship by the way:

   "A while ago, when we were having a meeting at a common location, someone knocked off the pottery ornament on the cabinet. The pottery has a very strange structure, and it seems that it can hold a recording device that has been on standby for a long time."

Amuro glanced at the broken pottery on the photo: "We suspect that someone wants to use it to eavesdrop, and according to the investigation, this pottery is the work of Kikuemon, but its interior style is very different from Kikuemon. I originally suspected it was a fake, but when I checked the way I came, I found that it really came out of the pottery workshop at Kikuemon."

  Kikuemon is very old, and his pottery making has been out of order recently, and he has always refused to receive visitors.

   Amuro Toru was still thinking about how to contact him as naturally as possible. Unexpectedly, when I entered the office just now, I happened to see Jiang Xia holding an experience ticket related to Kikuemon.

  ... This apprentice, if nothing else, is really lucky.

  In the car, Jiang Xia looked at the photos for a while, and vaguely understood what was going on—this unique pottery could just match a certain case he knew.

  The organization in black is fighting wits and courage with ordinary murders again.

   However, he won't lose anything if he can pick up a ghost this time.

  …

   When we set off, it was already evening. Toru Amuro had a busy schedule and didn’t like to put things off until the next day.

   However, halfway through, his plans were disrupted.

   When the car was passing through the forest, it ran over something and suddenly blew the tire.

   Jiang Xia was still leaning against the back of the chair and was sleepy, but now he sat up straight - a tire burst in the woods, a murder case happened in the night... This is how it is drawn in the comics!

  Amuro only thought Jiang Xia was surprised because of a flat tire, and didn't think much about it.

   He stopped the car, opened the door, and got out to check.

   Jiang Xia also got out of the car, pretending to care about this transportation tool, but in fact he was looking around attentively.

   Soon, Jiang Xia's eyes passed through a thick tree and landed on the cliff dozens of meters away.

  There is a quaint house supported by wooden frames in the air.

   At this time, Xiaobai and Miyano Akemi, who had been used as a pillow by Jiang Xia, also raised their heads and looked over there.

   Jiang Xia originally thought that the ghosts felt the murderous aura, or the aura of a shikigami.

   Unexpectedly, the two ghosts exchanged whispers, and the information that was fed back turned out to be that they had found a ghost.

   Jiang Xia was startled.

  ...this is also wonderful.

   At this moment, the trunk clicked.

   Jiang Xia was alarmed, turned around and found that Amuro had put a spare tire in the car.

  Toru Amuro took out a tool bag and planned to change the tire on the spot.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

……no! ! !

   No one wants to leave until he gets a new ghost!

   Jiang Xia walked to the side of the car calmly.

  The spare tire was still in the trunk. Jiang Xia made the main body park next to Amuro, pretending to hand tools, but in fact hanging up.

   While Amuro was concentrating on unloading the tires, Jiang Xia quickly scattered the shikigami into the open trunk.

   He used Xiaobai, who was small and difficult to see, as a support, and gathered a puppet of a little boy. Consciousness also attached to it, staring at the intact spare tire.

   The puppet has no proper tools on it, nor a knife in the trunk.

   And Amuro revealed that he was out of the house, and he had a lot of punctures, and the action of unloading the tire was very neat.

  Jiang Xia was a little anxious when he heard the movement on his side. He tried to gather the energy of Shikigami on his fingernails, but Xiaobai seemed to have no talent for this.

  ... At this time, I regret not choosing Akemi Miyano just now.

   But if Miyano Akemi is used as a bracket, the adult-shaped puppet is easy to be seen. And once suspicious people appear in the vicinity, Anshito might be overly vigilant, which in turn affects Jiang Xia's hunt for ghosts.

  Time was running out. In the trunk, Jiang Xia stared gloomily at the spare tire, feeling that it was fairly clean.

   He thought about the new ghost baby waiting for him to pick up not far away... In the end, his heart sank, he released the energy wrapped around his nails, changed it to strengthened teeth, and bit down on the tire.

  Teeth are indeed the hardest part of the human body.

   did not live up to his expectations.

  …

   Amuro Toru, who had just finished unloading the tire, was startled.

   He listened carefully, and always felt that there were some strange creaking noises mixed with the sound of wind and leaves.

  Amuro looked at Jiang Xia uncertainly: "Did you hear that?"

   "Well." Jiang Xia's voice was a little vague for some reason. He looked up at the sky and said solemnly, "It's raining."

   It was indeed raining, and it was falling rapidly, and the sound of the rain hitting the leaves gradually became apparent.

  An Shitou frowned, it wasn't the voice he asked... But forget it, since Jiang Xia didn't hear it, he might have heard it wrong.

   But soon, when Amuro went to the trunk to get new tires, he found that the weird sound was not his delusion.

  ——The spare tire, which was still intact just now, suddenly broke a gap.

   The cracks are uneven, and it looks like it was torn apart by force. Combined with the dark woods and the unexplained flat tire just now, Amuro suddenly felt a chill on his back.

   Speaking of which, he remembered that there seemed to be some horrible legends nearby.

   Amuro Toru's subconsciously moved to the place where the gun was hidden, and then stopped again.

  ...No, this world is materialistic and there will be no monsters.

  Everything should have a reasonable explanation.

   - puncture, must have accidentally run over something on the ground, there are many sharp rocks in the woods, which is not surprising.

   And the tire was damaged because he didn't close the trunk after he took the tool just now, so some animal slipped in.

   Wildlife movements must be very light, plus the wind and other noises in the forest in the evening, he can't detect it, and it is normal.

   Why is this unknown creature gnawing tires? There are snacks such as biscuits clearly placed in front of the car...
