Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 793 The Mystery of Akai Shuichi's Hat

   Although at present, Jiang Xia has not been able to sense any murderous aura in Subaru Okiya's meeting hall.

   But Akai Shuichi is a red party after all. Referring to Amuro Toru, he usually doesn't take murderousness, which is actually very reasonable.

  Thinking like this, Jiang Xia put on his cat vest, leaned closer to the window, and looked into the venue expectantly.

   After a while, he was disappointed to find that he was probably thinking too much.

  —the window he was in had a high sill.

   I glanced at it, and I could just see a neat and bright bald head. Okiya Subaru, a heretic with hair mixed in, was particularly conspicuous.

   In addition to Okiya Subaru, there is another person with normal hair volume.

   But it was a small schoolgirl.

   As we all know, in the "transformation" technology, stature has always been the most difficult factor to change, especially from tall to short, from big to small.

Even Kidd, the direct son of the black feather robber, can only change his height by the primitive method of "bending his legs", and it is even more impossible for a layman like Akai Shuichi to shrink his tall body of nearly 1.9 meters. A one-meter-six mini girl.

   As for disguising yourself as a bald uncle...

   Always felt that Shuichi Akai couldn't make this type of sacrifice.

"……"Ok? Wait, that doesn't seem to be the case.

   Jiang Xia glanced at his memory bank. Suddenly I found that in my impression, Shuuichi Akai always wore a hat whether he was a student, FBI, or undercover.

   Sometimes baseball caps, sometimes swimming caps. More often, it is the iconic knitted hat... This man's dedication to hats is comparable to the pair of sunglasses that vodka is to him, and the long hair that gin is to him...

   So, could it be that the truth behind this is that under Shuichi Akai's knitted hat...

  Jiang Xia made up the picture, his ears moved slightly, and he couldn't help but become curious.

   After hesitating for a moment, he spent a little more murderous energy, followed the contract, and contacted Miyano Akemi, who was on duty next to the main body, and asked questions.

   Miyano Akimi is betting with two ghosts, betting on Akai Shuichi's murderous taste.

   aware of the master's doubts, she held her chin and thought for a while, and gave the answer regretfully:

   Akai Shuichi is not bald yet. Wearing a hat might just look good, or to protect the head.

   Jiang Xia who received the answer: "..."

   He looked at the conspicuous Mediterranean Sea in disappointment. In this case, Akai Shuichi probably really isn't there...

   Although relying on off-site factors, the conclusion was reached.

   But to be cautious, Jiang Xia re-examined the people in the venue, and by the way, let the ghosts wear models to see the situation.

   A few minutes later, the conclusion of "Akai Shuichi is not among them" was verified.

   Jiang Xia sighed and turned to leave.

  …

   Jiang Xia drove the cat back to the car and looked at the car when it came. He began to think about whether to continue to follow Okiya Subaru, or go back to the detective office and squat for a new client.

  ——Akai Shuichi is like an unknown rare blind box, which is really attractive.

   But the basic survival materials that usually require the liver can't be spared...

   Before I could think about it, the mermaid floating beside me suddenly moved.

   She seemed to have noticed something, looked at the house across the street from a distance, and patted Jiang Xia with a waving tail as a reminder.

   Jiang Xia glanced at her translucent tail fin that kept shaking, and instinctively raised her hand.

   and quickly put it down as if nothing had happened.

  …Now, obviously not the time to fight with fish.

  Because the ghosts seemed to sense the breath of the ration from that direction.

   - murderous.

   And it smells of good quality.

   Jiangxia immediately thought of Shuichi Akai, who might be hiding nearby and observing the situation of Subaru Okiya.

  He decisively followed the news from the ghosts and looked for it.

   However, as he kept getting closer to the source of murderous aura, Jiang Xia gradually felt that he was thinking too much.

  ... Murderous aura does exist, and it is indeed very high-end.

   But it was clearly the murderous aura of an acquaintance, filled with the familiar smell of wine.

   Jiang Xia: "..." Gin is nearby...

   Could it be that he has been with Conan for a long time, and has also contracted the physique of "going out and hitting gin"?

  Although it didn't match expectations, I thought about it: come here. Going to Gin to scavenge for excess murderous aura is far better than following Okiya Subaru in a meeting in a group of light bulbs.

  Thinking like this, he continued to drive the cat towards the source of the murderous aura.

  …

   Jumped on the last section of the wall, and in the shadow of the old abandoned building in front, there was a familiar black Porsche parked.

   Farther away, Vodka had already got out of the car and was negotiating in a low voice with a man in a black suit at the end of the building.

  Gin sat in the car, looking over there, rubbing his very durable Beretta, and occasionally swept his eyes around.

​​​

   Jiang Xia patted the ghosts floating beside him and let them go first to take away the excess murderous aura.

   After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly realized that maybe he should go for a walk too - if Gin hates cats, wouldn't it be possible to reap an extra wave?

   Although the idea of ​​slaughtering animals is difficult to form murderous aura. But the generation mechanism of gin's murderous aura seems to be different from that of ordinary people. The amount of his murderous aura is obviously related to his mood.

  ... Of course, Jiang Xia thought, to catch the murderous aura, to try to avoid the cat puppet from being shot.

  This cat has a unique color. Even if he died in front of others, when he reappeared, he could still use the reason of "same litter, same color" to fool the past. But more often, it will still lead to suspicion.

  ——After all, the number of cats in one litter is limited. And his dark clouds and snow, only one can appear at a time.

   Thinking so, Jiang Xia observed the environment and planned to approach from a place with hidden objects.

   But suddenly, his eyes stopped and he stopped on the wall next to him.

  ——A cat jumped up there at some point.

   is Jiang Xia's favorite orange cat.

   Jiang Xia looked at him admiringly. Looking at the cat from the cat's point of view, it is not too scary, but even better.

   However, the cat on the opposite side doesn't seem to agree with his idea.

  —— After looking at each other for a moment, the orange cat's ears turned towards him vigilantly, the whole cat arched up slightly, and a pair of round but sharp eyes were fixed on Jiang Xia, even posing as if he was going to come forward and beat him.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

  Being a person and being a cat is really not the same... It may also be that the clients' cats have been used to being persecuted, so they usually have a good temper and lie flat, but the cat in front of them is not the same...

   He took two steps back, wanting to live in peace with this beautiful cat.

   However, the orange cat didn't seem to understand what he meant. Jiang Xia retreated, and it suddenly rushed in and patted it with one paw.
