Conan's Corpse Picker

Combined with today's gloomy weather, at first glance, there is only one word that can describe it aptly.

- haunted house.

…………

Jiang Xia walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked in through the rusty iron fence.

Then I was a little surprised to find that there were two people lying in the messy grass in the yard.

They were two children, about six or seven years old. Their eyes were closed, but their chests rose and fell slightly. They should not be dead, but passed out.

These two children have strange shapes: one is fat like a triangular rice ball, and the other is as thin as a hemp stick.

This gave Jiang Xia a strong sense of sight.He quickly thought of two people - Conan's classmate, Kojima Genta, and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko.

These two people, together with the little girl Yoshida Ayumi, and the think tank Conan, formed the "Youth Detective Team" of Didan Elementary School.

Jiang Xia: "..." Since Yuantai and Mitsuhiko are lying here, today is probably the first group activity of the Detective Boys:

Haunted house adventure.

……

Jiang Xia looked away from the two children and looked up at the overcast bungalow.

This "haunted house" has been vacant for several years.

It is said that there was a brutal murder case here, and since then, the sound of roaring wild animals has often been heard in the room, which is very famous in the surrounding area.

……

But in fact, Jiang Xia's false "foreseeing ability" told him: There are actually no ghosts here, but a mother and child hiding here.

——Five years ago, the male owner of this bungalow scolded his son angrily, but was shot to death by his son.

After the mother found out, she disguised the murder scene as a "burglary and murder", and then took her son to hide in the underground secret room, intending to survive the prosecution period and return to society.

Later, the son gradually couldn't bear this kind of mouse-like life, and wanted to surrender himself, but the mother disagreed. She put the son in a dungeon and insisted on waiting for the prosecution period to end.

What the people nearby heard "like the howling wind" was actually the sad roar of the son of the underground.

……

But today, four first-grade elementary school students from the "Youth Detective Team" broke in without knowing the inside story, preparing to start a "haunted house adventure".

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at the two children in the courtyard through the gate.

At present, it seems that this expedition of the Boy Detective Group is coming to an end.

——Genta and Mitsuhiko were brutally knocked out, knocked out and thrown into the yard.

And Conan and Ayumi are probably still in the haunted house, trying to survive.

Jiang Xia thought for a while, took out her mobile phone, and called the police skillfully.

Then he flipped over the railing lightly, fell into the courtyard, and quickly walked around to the side door of the bungalow.

……

Jiang Xia remembered that the Boy Detective Team sneaked into the haunted house from here.

However, at this moment, he stretched out his hand and twisted it, but the door was locked.

"..." It seems that the hostess took some defensive measures and locked the gap after throwing out the naughty boy x 2 who had trespassed in the haunted house.

As a member of the organization, Jiang Xia felt that he should take out the tool at this time, click a few times, and pry open the lock neatly.

Picking locks, however, was not his forte.

And a psychic must look like a psychic...

Jiang Xia withdrew her hand and stepped back half a step.

Two pieces of paper shikigami flew out of nowhere from under his feet, and slipped into the room silently along the crack of the door.

……

Soon, behind the door, the two shikigami overlapped and gradually swelled, forming a puppet like a "white clay figure".

This puppet has no thinking.Fully controlled by psychics.

If a ghost embryo is thrown into a puppet, it can be shaped into a delicate puppet with a shape close to that of a human.

But at present, it is just to open a door, there is no need to make it so detailed.

Jiang Xia felt the position of the clay puppet through the door.

After a while, "Xiaobai" in the room slowly stood up straight, gropingly put his hand behind the door, clicked, and unlocked the door.

After completing the task, the little puppet collapsed silently, changing from clay to a paper shikigami invisible to ordinary people.

The paper shikigami instantly returned to the print space on Jiang Xia's heart.

Jiang Xia stretched out her hand again.

This time, he successfully opened the door.

Chapter 26 Aren't We Good Partners?

Jiang Xia walked into the "haunted house".

There were dark clouds outside, and the room was very dark. Without the flashlight, it was almost impossible to see anything.

Jiang Xia borrowed the ghost's night vision ability, and walked silently along the dark corridor.

……

Soon, he found a floor that had been lifted on the ground at the end of the corridor.

This seems to be the entrance to a secret passage.There is a flight of steps leading down.

Jiang Xia Weidai approached curiously, observed for a while, and vaguely smelled murderous intent from the passage.

"..." He nodded in satisfaction and walked in.

……

Along the steps, all the way down to the end.

At the end of the tunnel, a lighted basement appeared.

Jiang Xia remembers that this is the place where the father-killer with a filial son failed to turn himself in and was imprisoned by his mother.

At this moment, the door to the basement was open.

Conan's reasoning voice came faintly from inside.

……

Jiang Xia walked to the door lightly, and took a look inside.

In the center of the room, across a row of iron railings, a prison cell was cut off.

The owner's son was sitting in the prison disheveled and disheveled, with an old shikigami on his lap, probably transformed into by his father.

Outside the railing, there were three people in total.

——Conan, his female classmate Yoshida Ayumi.And a woman with white hair and a very thin figure.

……

Jiang Xia's eyes swept away, and his eyes quickly fell on the woman whose back was facing him: "..."

That silver-white waist-length hair made Jiang Xia's fingers move slightly, reflexively wanting to grab something.

But after a little concentration, you can find that the murderous aura on the woman is very weak.It can only barely be classified as "satisfying hunger", and it's not even as fresh as the murderous aura of the kidnapper last time.

Guiying looked at the white-haired woman in front of him, and was also slightly disappointed after being startled.

However, it is not as picky as Jiang Xia, and it is very satisfying to eat with a murderous look.So I still jumped off the ground with great enthusiasm, ready to pick it up.

……

A few meters away, in the basement.

The white-haired woman held a knife and stared at Conan and Ayumi who were blocked by her in the corner, feeling extremely agitated.

She turned her back to the door, and didn't notice that there was an extra Jiang Xia there.

Conan did see it.

His reasoning voice paused for a while, and then continued as if nothing had happened.

It's just that this fake primary school student obviously didn't control his emotions well.

Speaking of speaking, the middle breath is much fuller than before.

Fortunately, the white-haired old woman was not in a good state of mind, so she didn't notice Conan's abnormality.

Ayumi hid next to Conan, looked at Jiang Xia timidly, and also did not make a sound.

I don't know if I became witty in a dangerous situation, or I was too scared to make a sound.

Of course, it may also be the illusion that Yangou often has - the big brother at the door doesn't look like a bad guy.

……

Conan is obviously the kind of detective who wants to finish his reasoning before he dies, even if he doesn't want to die.

In fact, at the beginning, the white-haired old lady didn't want to kill anyone.

Genta and Mitsuhiko, who were lying in the yard, were only fainted by her.

Because she thought, even if these first graders went to report the crime, the police would not answer.

But now, Conan is different.

——Conan not only saw the people in the dungeon, he even guessed that his son was the murderer back then.

"The homeless man is hiding in the haunted house" is completely different from "the murderer is hiding in the haunted house".

If it was the latter, the police might come even if the person who reported the crime was a child.

……

So at this time, the white-haired woman listened to Conan's reasoning, and there was some real murderous aura in her body.
