Conan's Corpse Picker

Not long after, Jiang Xia's cat gradually stopped struggling.

The cat raised its head, looked at him for a while with its big round eyes, hesitated for a moment, then stuck out its tongue and licked the back of his hand.

This time, the cat didn't struggle anymore, but lay quite comfortably in his arms, and even yawned.

Jiang Xia happily rubbed it a few times.

In the living room, Quantum Hiramatsu was still in contact with Hero Akagi.

Mao Lilan put down her phone and saw Jiang Xia coming back from the balcony, her eyes quickly fell on the cat in his arms.

Then she stared blankly at the side of the cat: "This cat looks like the one my dad was looking for recently."

"It should be the same one." Jiang Xia scratched his chin for the cat, "I saw photos when I went to your office before, this fur color is very unique, and this family doesn't seem to be raising cats at home. "

Mao Lilan looked around and nodded in agreement.Indeed, it’s fine to put the cat on the open balcony. There are also some trophy photo frames on the top of the cabinet in this house, which will break if dropped. It doesn’t look like the land of cats.

Since it wasn't raised by Uemura Naoki, then this should be a cat running away from home - it wears a collar and nestles in Jiang Xia's arms so quietly and obediently, unlike a wild cat.

Coupled with this unique fur, it should be the one that Mori Kogoro was looking for.

Jiang Xia played with cats for a while, then he looked at Naoki Uemura who was still pressed by the door as if he suddenly remembered something: "Do you know the owner here?"

Conan nodded and briefly explained Naoki Uemura's abduction of children.

In his opinion, Jiang Xia probably just wanted to go to the balcony to help Mao Li Kogoro catch the cat today, but ended up in the kidnapper's lair by mistake.I don't know whether to say Jiang Xia is unlucky or the kidnapper is unlucky...

However, the most unlucky one must be the foolish kid next to him holding the game console.

Fortunately, Jiang Xia and them came in time, otherwise, when everything is over, this kid is likely to be killed and silenced.

— After all, Jiang Xia is right next to her.Regardless of whether he attracted the murder case or the murder case attracted him, in short, since Jiang Xia came, the children's situation is very dangerous...

When Hiramatsu Quantum called Akagi Hero, Mao Lilan was quick and called the police.

After the police arrived, Jiang Xia and the others briefly provided known information, left their contact information, and then left.

As for how to deal with it later, that is the matter of the police, Hero Akagi, and Naoki Murakami.

Jiang Xia sent the cat all the way to the Maoli Detective Agency, and successfully got a card in front of Maoli Kogoro.

In this way, he is connected with "Xu Shengyi's cat", and then can be connected with "Xu Shengyi".

In the future, Mori Kogoro will think of Asahi Katsuyoshi + digital murder at the same time, so it will be easier to take the initiative to bring him into the mix.

After delivering the cat and receiving the illusory case participation voucher, Jiang Xia still pays attention to the news of Murakami from time to time.

But occasionally, he has other things to deal with.

——Jiang Xia has to record a variety show.

This is what he signed in the first place to gain his reputation and take advantage of cases in the entertainment industry.Who would have thought that now that his reputation has been overwhelmed, he always feels that there are fewer people coming to him to submit cases...

But things have come to this point, even if the contract is not broken, it will be difficult to suppress the reputation that has already been earned.

And if he went, he might encounter some cases - in the world's entertainment industry, there were quite a few names that Jiang Xia felt familiar with.

Chapter 227 Jiang Xia What Did You Steal!

Especially this episode.

Jiang Xia saw the name "Kusaburo Hijikata" on the list.

Kozaburo Hijikata is a famous Taiga opera actor, and his status in the entertainment industry is not low.But recently he has been entangled in scandals, and some innocuous negative news has been exposed. Although he will not be banned, his popularity is indeed declining.

In order to make a living, Kozaburo Hijikata also began to accept TV dramas and various variety shows like ordinary actors.

Soon, Tufang will participate in the filming of a reasoning drama, so he accepted the invitation of this reasoning variety show by the way.

……

In Jiang Xia's impression, Hijikata Kosaburo's more important identity is the murderer's potential stock.

The negative news that Hijikata Kosaburo was exposed is not all fabricated - he has indeed broken up with his wife.

Kosaburo Hijikata has a lot of flirting with women and grass on weekdays, and his wife Yumi Hijikata is not too shy, cheating on his neighbor Kazuki Okita.And she also has evidence of her husband's derailment, and plans to ask for high alimony when she divorces.

Kosaburo Hijikata was murdered by his wife because of this.

In the original world line, he invited Mori Kogoro to his home under the pretext of "I will be acting in a detective drama soon, and I want to see how real detectives usually work." The murderer's pot was thrown to the neighbors.

……

Jiang Xia came to the studio and soon found Kozaburo Hijikata among a group of people.

Sure enough, there was a lot of murderous intent on this person. It seemed that he had already made a decision and thought of a way to kill him, but he was still waiting for the opportunity.

Sitting next to the famous actor, Jiang Xia looked at the murderous look on his neighbor, and was a little moved.

He also wanted to be invited by Hijikata Kosaburo to be a witness tool...

However, after looking at each other, Hijikata Kozaburo gave Jiang Xia a polite but indifferent smile, and then the middle-aged actor turned to talk to the actor sitting on the other side of him.There was no intention of inviting Jiang Xia to be a guest at home.

Jiang Xia who was left hanging: "..."

...I shouldn't have dragged the progress bar so fast in order to save trouble.

Let's lay the groundwork from now on, find reasons such as "pursuing rigor" and "adopting a more secure approach to solving cases", and slowly slow down the speed...

However, Jiang Xia also wanted to try to get involved with Hijikata Kosaburo's case.

——The murderous man was sitting next to him, what was the difference between this and a wild ghost swimming by.

If you can squeeze it, of course you still have to squeeze it.

Of course, if you want to achieve your goal, you can't just sit here and wait passively, you need to take some proactive measures.

……

In the second half of the show, there is a reasoning game.

Variety shows in this world don't have too detailed scripts, and of course they don't reveal the answers to the guests in advance. If the famous detectives who are invited don't want to lose face, they can only go all out to solve the puzzles.

Jiang Xia thought for a while, and let Xiaobai float to the backstage.

Xiaobai found the script not very proficiently. After it sent a message, Jiang Xia cut his eyesight, glanced at the question and answer, and wrote it down.

Afterwards, halfway through the recording of the show, Jiang Xia temporarily left the studio during a break on the way.

He came to a place where no one was around, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote something on the paper.

……

Kozaburo Hijikata also left the studio during the break and went to the bathroom far away from the studio.

He used to come here when he was resting, to admire himself in the mirror, to relax, and to see if there was anything inappropriate in his attire.

This time, however, there was another person in the bathroom.

——Jiang Xia was originally reciting something intently with his head down, when he suddenly saw someone entering the door, he put his hands behind his back in a little panic, looked at the door, and greeted awkwardly.

Kosaburo Hijikata keenly sensed a hint of guilt from this young man's face.

As an old fritter who has been in the entertainment circle for a long time, Hijikata Kosaburo looked at Jiang Xia carefully and felt that it was tricky.

He approached while talking in the tone of a senior.The bathroom is not too big, and soon, Kosaburo Hijikata saw the piece of paper that Jiang Xia hid behind him in the mirror.

The text on the paper is too small to read clearly.

But Kozaburo Hijikata saw a schematic diagram.

He looked at the picture suspiciously, but before seeing too much, Jiang Xia seemed to realize something, he hid the note in his sleeve, and left in a hurry.

……

Jiang Xia walked out of the bathroom, and at the same time as he closed the door, he also put away the panicked look of "being broken into a secret" just now.

Jiang Xia came to the smoking area, lit the paper just now, the ashes rushed into the sewer, and then returned to the studio as if nothing had happened.

Before the filming started, Kozaburo Hijikata also came.

Soon, the show began the main event - on-the-spot reasoning.

In addition to the performances of the actors, a floor plan of the crime scene also appeared on the big screen for easy understanding.The picture shows a private villa with a special shape, oval in shape.

Kosaburo Hijikata looked at the picture on the screen, and after being startled for a moment, he suddenly understood—this kind of sketch was drawn on the piece of paper that Jiang Xia hastily hid just now!

He has a question in his hand, and judging by his posture, he must have an answer!

...that's what happened.

While others were concentrating on recording the program, Kozaburo Hijikata touched his chin and thought to himself.

No wonder Jiang Xia can answer the questions so smoothly every time on the show. It turns out that this person has the answers in his hands.

As for why Jiang Xia can always see through the criminal's thinking when he actually solves the case... Maybe it's because he has a company behind him.

——The black and white reports in newspapers cannot be broadcast live like a program, and they are basically static.

Therefore, no matter how slow the actual speed of solving the case is, as long as the main points of the case are sorted out afterwards and a little modification is made in the time of solving the case, anyone can "solve the case in seconds."

The police probably won’t pursue this kind of thing—no matter how quickly Jiang Xia or the brains behind him solve the case, at least he really helped the police solve the case. It’s actually not that fast.” And so on.

The more Kosaburo Hijikata thought about it, the more he felt that the truth must be like this. Jiang Xia had no real talent and learning at all, and relied entirely on the company to support him.

He couldn't help showing contempt in his eyes - these young people who have no strength and only rely on their appearance, tui!

However, Kozaburo Hijikata did not intend to expose Jiang Xia.

——A detective with a great reputation but not worthy of the name and no real talents is exactly the resource he needs urgently recently.

Sure enough, when people's bad luck comes to an end, they will have good luck.

Kosaburo Hijikata didn't want to pay high alimony, let alone being exposed by his wife about his cheating, which would affect his popularity.He must kill that woman.

In this case, Jiang Xia, a well-known detective, is obviously a very suitable witness.

Chapter 228 Destined Ten

During the stage of the reasoning game, Jiang Xia secretly lowered his speed of solving the case.

And during the short break in the middle, when there was no camera facing him, Jiang Xia looked at Kozaburo Hijikata from time to time, and quickly looked away before the other party looked back.It seems to be very worried about being found out.

After the recording was over, Jiang Xia looked at Tufang who took the initiative to chat with him and left his business card, showing a little guilty smile at first glance, but actually a heartfelt smile.
