Conan's Corpse Picker

But now, obviously, is not the time to think about these issues.

Wutiangu's terrifying fangs have not yet retracted.And the police are coming soon—according to the plan that Kidd and the others discussed before they came here, Terai had already called the police just now.

In short, it is not advisable to stay here for long.

Kidd left a "farewell", turned over and jumped on the window, ready to leave.

Renluo Tongjiro looked at his figure, subconsciously took a step after him, and shouted: "I heard that you will return the things you stole. When the time comes, please return the cue to that young man!"

Kidd sent him another good person card in his heart, then nodded, and said calmly: "As you wish."

He flicked his cloak and flew out of the window.

At this time, a police car was already surrounded outside.

The moment Kidd jumped out, he had carefully changed out of Kidd's eye-catching white clothes, and put on the dark casual clothes worn by Kaito Kuroba again.

——In the original plan, he planned to let Terai change into Kidd's clothes and run away for him, while he himself used the identity of Kuroba Kaito to stay in the club to deal with everyone.

But now, Wu Tiangou suddenly came.In other words, the person who left with the club will inevitably face the hungry Wutiangu who seems to be angry because he wants to return the club...

Kidd remembered the way Grandpa Terai was covering his chest in a panic just now, and felt that all this was too heavy for a gray-haired Mediterranean old man.

I had to come by myself.

As for the club, it can only be explained that he sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and slipped away in the dark ahead of time... This is a bit embarrassing, but fortunately, few people present know Kaito Kuroba...

Kidd glanced at the policemen who swarmed into the club, held the club, and ran quickly into the alley along the shadows.

He wasn't worried that Wu Tiangou would be caught by the police, because the cue studded with jewels was in his hands now... Just as he was thinking, a shadow was suddenly cast on the ground in front of him, and the air above his head was disturbed by the flapping wings.

Fog Tengu passed him and landed in front of him, his gaze precisely landed on the club.

Chapter 272 Boss, You Charge Your Energy So Quickly

Kidd didn't dare to delay for a second, and immediately handed over the club.

Wu Tiangou looked down for a while, took the cue, and wiped it with a cloth very carefully, and then began to nibble in satisfaction.

Kidd observed secretly and found that Wutiangou's pair of teeth that symbolized "I want to eat people" had retracted, so he was relieved.

Kryptonite is still useful.In order for Qingzi and other innocent people not to be gnawed by monsters, he and Grandpa Terai really sacrificed too much...

Kidd sighed, took advantage of the fog and Tiangou was busy dealing with the club, and ran to take a look outside.

The policemen who poured into the billiard hall just now did not come for Kaitou Kidd, but the police officers of the Organized Crime Countermeasure Department.The unconscious boss and the black-clothed boys had already been put into the car one after another.

As the old subordinate of the boss, Lian Luo was among those who were taken away.Grandpa Terai chased after him, and the two old rivals looked at each other with sympathy.

Nobody noticed this.

Kidd withdrew his gaze, walked back to Wutiangou who was nibbling gems, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "By the way, after a while... I might go to your hometown."

Jiang Xia: "...?"

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly matched his brain circuit with Kidd - "hometown" should refer to the mountain where the Shanni Temple is located.The legend of Wutiangou is most prevalent in that area.That's why at that time, the old monk would borrow the legend to kill Zhong Nian.

Otherwise, this "hometown" cannot refer to Jiang Xia's own home...

After figuring this out, Jiang Xia looked at Kidd in a strange way - just go, tell him what to do, be addicted to being robbed?

In addition, what treasures can be found in the deep mountains... Jiang Xia began to search for related cases in his memory.

Seeing Wu Tiangu looking at him, Kidd seemed to be attracted by the topic just now, so he changed his words and continued: "I'm not going to steal treasures this time, I just want to go and find out something. So I'll tell you in advance .”

——The main reason is that Wutiangou found his whereabouts again like today, and followed him secretly, expecting to have treasures to eat, but when he arrived at the place, he found that there were no treasures at all, so he beat him up angrily, or ate some It's too unfair for people to satisfy their greed.

This time, Jiang Xia failed to keep up with Kidd's vast brain circuit.

But there was one thing he managed to grasp—maybe there would be a case.

Jiang Xia stopped eating gems, and asked Kidd when he entered the mountain and the specific location.

After Kidd finished answering, he curiously remembered a question—how do monsters usually keep time, and also use a calendar?

...However, after all, he is a monster living in modern times. Since Wutiangou can always follow the notice in the newspaper and come to rob him, the date is of course not a problem.It should be nothing to worry about.

Wait, speaking of following the notice in the newspaper...

Kidd hesitated to speak, but in the end he couldn't suppress his curiosity.Seeing Wu Tiangou holding the cue, he seemed to be in a good mood. He took the opportunity to ask, "How did you find me today? That boss probably didn't publish my notice letter in the newspaper."

Jiang Xia said perfunctorily, "Meet by chance."

"That's it." Kidd was relieved, Wu Tiangou should disdain to lie, it seems that usually, Brother Yaokai didn't follow him secretly, mainly relying on newspapers to find out where he committed the crime, and then guarded.

But when it comes to newspapers, a monster who usually lives in the mountains shouldn’t be able to order that kind of thing. Did he steal… rob… someone else’s newspaper?

After all, newspapers are usually inserted in letter boxes, and the location is easy to find...

……

Jiang Xia absorbed the last bit of energy core, looked at the comfortable ghosts around him, and handed the club to Kidd casually.

Then I saw Kidd was silent for a moment, and suddenly whispered: "Don't just grab the family, it doesn't matter if you throw this cheap thing once or twice, but if you lose it every time, the owner may call the police, and even install a camera at the door of the house. "

Jiang Xia: "...?"

After Kidd finished speaking, he grabbed the club and left with a deep reputation.At the same time, he felt guilty for a while, feeling that he had taught the monster badly.

Jiang Xia watched him run away inexplicably.

After Kidd's back disappeared, Jiang Xia still didn't want to understand the meaning of the sentence just now, so he didn't bother to continue to figure it out.

He dealt with the things on the vest, disbanded the puppet, and returned to the body.

……

The next day, Jiang Xia routinely went to the detective agency to check the mailbox.

There were a lot of things in the mailbox, and he took them all out, and as he walked into the house, he picked out the advertisements and threw them into the trash can.

After throwing it away, the thickness of the stack of papers in his hand was reduced by half.

What was left was nothing more than a pile of newspapers and the appointment form of the client.

Jiang Xia was planning to classify the orders, but at this moment, an envelope suddenly fell out of the newspaper and fell to the ground with a thud.

Jiang Xia was startled, and picked up the letter with slight surprise.

Turning it over, Jiang Xia: "..."

——The location of the sender is impressively written in three large characters: Nakamura Cao.

With a glimmer of hope, she opened it and looked at the contents. She clearly hoped that Jiang Xia could go to her grandfather's villa and help solve the puzzle.

A case that has already been solved.

...It seems that after the letter was sent, the Jiangxia people arrived before the letter arrived.

The commission letter I received for the first time turned out to be an old case.Jiang Xia sighed faintly, tore up the phone number and name on the letter, and threw the letter and advertisement into the trash can.

Jiang Xia's mood plummeted after being feinted by the client, not even in the mood to go to Huiyuan Ai's place for dinner.

But in the evening, he suddenly received a call from Toru Amuro—inviting him to work part-time.

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Xia came to a wedding company at the address given by Toru Amuro.

Then at the gate, I was surprised to see Toru Amuro.

The accident was because, in the past, Toru Amuro had often sent him part-time job errands, but those few times he was always asked to take over.

But today, looking at this posture... Amuro Toru actually wants to do this part-time job together.

...Boss has recharged his energy so quickly?

Jiang Xia approached suspiciously and expectantly, opened the car door, and got into the co-pilot.

Today, Toru Amuro didn't drive his beloved Mazda, but drove the advertising car of the wedding company - he took a part-time job here to help prepare a wedding.

The main selling point of this wedding company is "personalization" - the customer is God.As long as the customer makes a request, no matter how outrageous, the company will try its best to undertake it.

In order to cope with the various requests of customers, it is inevitable to go to various places to purchase various items and order various props.Today, Amuro Toru and he are in charge of coordinating those odds and ends.

On the way to pick up the customized props, Toru Amuro first turned on his anti-eavesdropping device and took a turn in the car.

Then he turned off the instrument and looked at Jiang Xia: "Have you heard of Matsumoto Kiyonaga?"

Chapter 273 The Girls' Serial Kidnapping and Murder Incident

Jiang Xia nodded: "The management officer of the first search section." Mumu's immediate superior at the police department.

No matter which aspect he looked at, the name "Matsumoto Kiyonaga" still had an impression on him.

——From the standpoint of the current detective, as a frequent visitor to the Metropolitan Police Department, Jiang Xia once met Matsumoto Kiyonaga by chance, but there was not much interaction.

From the perspective of a "prophet" who has mastered the spoiler, Jiang Xia remembers that Kiyonaga Matsumoto was also quite unlucky, and several cases happened around him.

One of them was his daughter's wedding. On the wedding day, the prospective son-in-law threw sodium hydroxide into his daughter's drink, poisoned and killed his wife.

...Wait, daughter married?

Thinking of this, and then related to today's part-time job - helping the wedding company, Jiang Xia suddenly guessed the purpose of Amuro Toru's odd job.

It should be to take him to paddle... Ah no, it should be to take him to do tasks for the organization.

The content of the task may be to collect relevant information about Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

Compared with the heavily guarded Metropolitan Police Department, this kind of private occasion is more convenient to inquire about some news.

Seeing that Jiang Xia knew Matsumoto Kiyonaga, Amuro didn't explain much, and continued: "Matsumoto Kiyonaga has a daughter named Matsumoto Sayuri. She is one of the protagonists of today's wedding and is also our client—— compared to Matsumoto Kiyonaga , you should know her better."

Jiang Xia paused for a moment, acquiescing to this statement.

Sayuri Matsumoto was Jiangxia Tongzhi's music teacher in junior high school.In fact, the two don't know each other very well, they only have a few classes: After all, Jiang Xia Tongzhi, like Jiang Xia, is also a habitual offender who skips classes every day and often skips serious classes, let alone music class.

However, Jiang Xia didn't explain these details to his boss, who has been very active recently. He knew that for Toru Amuro, these things didn't really matter - Toru Amuro had to investigate other tasks carefully to prevent the organization from finding out that he was just fishing for water.

As for this kind of news related to the police, Toru Amuro wanted to plan how to plan.He only needs to ask the subordinates of the police to help him find out the information, and then act alone for a period of time during the investigation, and then he can release some information at his discretion, pretending that he has worked hard... Ke Xue's happiness as an undercover agent is like this Unpretentious.

According to Toru Amuro, this task is related to Sayuri Matsumoto, and then Jiang Xia.So theoretically speaking, he can get in touch with Matsumoto Sayuri through Jiang Xia's relationship, and then get in touch with Matsumoto Kiyonaga... In short, this is a very suitable task to lead Jiang Xia's performance and prevent him from being targeted by the organization because of excessive paddling. .

Of course Jiang Xia would not refuse.
