Conan's Corpse Picker

...is the breath of secrets.

After Jiang Xia came to this conclusion, she was not surprised.He remembers the family's turmoil—Misa Takeda was ostensibly the daughter of Shinichi Takeda, but Shinichi Takeda was infertile.So more than 20 years ago, Takeda Shinichi's wife went to ask the second child of the Takeda family to give birth to Meisha with her, and act as Takeda Shinichi's own daughter to raise him.

Later, this incident was known by Takeda Shinichi.

Takeda Shinichi, a drug dealer, has already broken the bottom line of the law. Even if he sees through the truth and endures it at the time, if he suddenly has an emotional outburst one day later, or gets drunk and can't think about it for a while... in this wilderness It is not surprising that people around you manually "suicide".

Many speculations flashed through Jiang Xia's mind in an instant, and he quickly gathered his thoughts.

Now, he is still not even sure whether the wild ghost fetus is the Takeda mother and daughter, maybe it is someone else who died nearby... There are too many possibilities, it is useless to think about it, it is better to capture the ghost directly ask.

Of course, this is mainly to save time, and has nothing to do with him wanting to see new ghosts as soon as possible...

Speaking of this, my own ghosts have been floating out for several minutes, why are they still running around.

Is the ghost so hard to catch this time?

Thinking about it, Jiang Xia glanced in the sensed direction.

The ghosts are hidden by the house, he has no clairvoyance, unfortunately can't see.

Instead, he looked up and saw a middle-aged man walking over with a smile on his face.

The man has a round beard and a bald U-shaped hairline on top of his head.

He stepped forward to shake hands with Jiang Xia, and showed his identity as the client: "Hi, I am Shinichi Takeda who sent you the letter."

Saying that, Takeda Shinobu glanced at the people gathered in the yard, pulled Jiang Xia aside, and said in a low voice:

"You should have heard what Yoko said just now—actually, what I want you to investigate is the matter of Mr. Negishi who 'hanged himself' a few days ago."

Jiang Xia nodded, and at the same time, he couldn't help but stop his eyes on Takeda Shinichi's dangerous hairline and cascading forehead lines, feeling a little relieved-fortunately, the ghost is not the target of this silencer.

No, you can't say that either.If a second ghost could really drop here, he wouldn't mind.After all, there are bad-looking ways to use it if it is not good-looking...

As Takeda Shinichi was talking, his back suddenly felt cold, and he vaguely had the illusion that he was being watched by some eyes hidden in the darkness.

He looked back at the tree that was blown by the mountain wind, and thought it should be the reason for the wind.So he wrapped up his coat, turned around and continued whispering to Jiang Xia about the entrustment:

"It's like this. I suspect that Negishi did not commit suicide, but was killed by someone. And this matter is likely to be done by someone in our family.

"So I have an unfeeling request - if you find the murderer, please don't say anything, just tell me one person, and I will naturally handle the rest properly."

Speaking of this, thinking of the person who killed Negishi and stole a batch of drugs from Negishi, Takeda Shinichi couldn't help feeling a little murderous.

——There are no outsiders here at all, but now Negishi is suddenly killed and the puppet is stolen. All signs show that the murderer knows the structure of his house quite well, and must be an inner ghost.

Takeda Shinichi himself was doing some illegal activities and couldn't stand the investigation.And this "inner ghost" who knew part of his secrets gave him a strong sense of crisis.

Desperate to uncover the man, he took the risk of calling in a detective who was said to be very keen.

Jiang Xia solved the case very quickly.And Wu Tian just felt that what he lacked the most now was time - the sooner he caught the ghost, the earlier he would be able to sell drugs with peace of mind, otherwise he would lose a lot of money every day he was stagnant.

Of course, for Takeda, the matter of "inviting Jiang Xia to come over" itself also contained certain risks, such as being discovered by Jiang Xia that he was secretly dealing in drugs.

Therefore, before sending the entrustment letter to Jiang Xia, Takeda Shinichi had seriously struggled with this issue.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that it was not a big problem.

——Takeda Nobuichi has read a lot of case-solving reports.

He found that when detectives encountered both a homicide and a drug dealer, they prioritized solving the homicide.

After the murder case is resolved, he will start to solve other incidents, especially the high school student detective.

So just keep an eye on Jiang Xia - if Jiang Xia finds out the murderer and doesn't discover the secret of his drug trafficking, then pay the balance of the entrustment, send Jiang Xia away, and everyone separates peacefully.

And if Jiang Xia finds out, or shows an abnormality, then Takeda Shinichi will secretly get rid of Jiang Xia, a detective who knows too much, after finding out who the "inner ghost" is.

The most indispensable thing in the wilderness is the place to hide the corpse.It is very convenient to kill the mouth here.

Even if other people know that Jiang Xia has come to Puppet Peak, and after discovering that Jiang Xia is missing, they call the police and bring the police to find him. As long as Takeda Shinichi kills the detective and has left, the police have no evidence, so they can only give up—they can’t do it for Find a missing person and turn the whole mountain over.

The only troublesome thing is that Jiang Xia came as soon as he came, and even brought two classmates with him...

Thinking of this, Takeda Shinobu glanced at the pair of presents Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, feeling a little troubled.

But soon thought about it again.

——At worst, let the "inner ghost" send Jiang Xia and his two classmates down the mountain, and then he will do something in the car to cause a car accident, and the four of them will pack up and go on the road.

Jiang Xia's attention was originally focused on the ghost fetus that was difficult to catch.

But as Takeda Shinichi fell into deep thought, his eyes gradually moved back to the Takeda patriarch in front of him.

Why is there so much murderous intent all of a sudden?I'm almost catching up with the foreign friend next to me...

He was puzzled for a while, then thought about it from the perspective of Takeda Shinichi, and vaguely understood.

……

After thinking about it, Takeda Shinichi looked back at Jiang Xia, waiting for Jiang Xia's reply to "I found the inner ghost, don't say anything, just tell him one person".

Jiang Xia looked at the murderous aura on Patriarch Wutian's body, and his mind moved slightly.

He didn't nod.

Instead, he looked at the sky at a 45° angle with a clean-eyed look, and said indifferently:

"I reject.

"If Mr. Negishi was killed, of course I would give priority to calling the police. The law is the only justice—if I tell you the situation first, and you erase the evidence for that 'family member', wouldn't I Became your accomplice in bending the law for personal gain."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xia couldn't help lowering his gaze to the sky slightly, and secretly glanced at Shinichi Takeda from the corner of his eye.

I saw that the murderous aura, which was not weak at all, further expanded, completely surpassing Rob next to him.

...Rob only wanted to kill one, after all.And Takeda now wants to kill four.

Takeda Shinichi's forehead twitched, but he managed to maintain a smile, and his tone was even more polite than before: "...you think too much, I just want to do some ideological work and persuade him to surrender."

Hearing this, the young detective gave him a scrutiny look, nodded meaningfully, and said, "You'd better be."

Then he stopped talking, seemed to disdain to talk to people like Takeda Shinichi, and walked back to the people who came with him.

Takeda Nobu stared at the haughty back, his temples throbbing.

After staring for a while, he thought of something, showing a gloomy sneer.

Heh, this little detective who is used to living in the city probably hasn't noticed yet - the mobile phone signal here is very unstable.If you want to call the police, you have to use your landline at home.

At that time, as long as the phone is guarded, there is no need to worry about Jiang Xia bypassing him to call the police.

After that, when this kid finds out about the "inner ghost", he will be silenced immediately.

As soon as Takeda Nobu remembered Jiang Xia's underwhelming appearance just now, he secretly tuied, and went to the studio out of sight.

Before that, he didn't forget to hide the telephone line at home.

……

When Jiang Xia talked with Takeda Shinichi, although he was separated from other people, the careful Takeda Yoko still found that the conversation between the Patriarch and Jiang Xia seemed not very pleasant.

She knew that Shinichi Takeda had a bad temper, and when she saw Jiang Xia walking over silently, she immediately guessed that Shinichi Takeda might have been in a hurry to investigate the case just now, and said something unpleasant in order to urge him.

...that's not kind.The detective came so far away, but he still got cold eyes.The detective looked young, and Brother Xin was too strict with him.Investigating a case is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it will take some time.

Thinking of this, Yoko Takeda walked towards Jiang Xia and smiled apologetically:

"Let me take you around the house. Where do you plan to start? We will try our best to help."

"Huh? Huh..." Jiang Xia came back to his senses, turned his eyes slightly, and looked at the main house.

He sensed that all the ghosts had gone there now, so he pointed at the main house: "Then go first..."

Before the words were finished, two little girls who looked exactly the same suddenly ran out from the side room.

The twins were running to Yoko Takeda, looking for their mother.

However, halfway through the run, the two glanced at Rob, and after recognizing him, they were stunned at the same time.

Afterwards, their faces that were originally curious because they saw the guest suddenly became a little hostile.

When Rob saw the familiar child, he came over to say hello nostalgic:

"Hi~ Sahui, Emei, you have grown up a lot."

The two little lolis took a step back in disgust.They stared at Rob for a while, then they came together and whispered each other loudly:

"murderer……"

"It's killing people again."

"Terrible"

"Scary terrible."

After muttering, he looked up and found that Rob was looking at them with a bewildered expression. The two trotted to the side vigilantly, tugged at Jiang Xia's coat, looked up and said, "Brother Detective, are you here to arrest him?"

Takeda Yoko next to him was stunned.

She walked towards her two daughters and reprimanded softly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Wow! Mom is so scary o(≧口≦)(≧口≦)o!" The two children huddled together, let go of Jiang Xia, ran back to the side door, and disappeared quickly.

Takeda Yoko hesitated between "catch up and educate the bear child" and "continue to help the guests lead the way".

In the end I chose the latter.

——Sha Hui and Tu Mei are usually not so ignorant. This time, they may be a little excited to see a guest suddenly... and they also often watch TV, and they have seen Jiang Xia on TV.Maybe they suddenly said that Rob was the murderer just now, just to find an excuse to drag Jiang Xia, it's hard to guess what a child is thinking.It's better to wait until the guests are entertained, and then go to reason with them.

Thinking of this, Takeda Yoko looked apologetically at Rob who was suspected of being used as a prop for star chasing: "Sorry, I'll let them apologize to you later..."

"It's okay." Rob waved his hand.

He glanced at the direction in which the two little girls left, and he became nervous, worried that he was seen when he hanged Negishi Akio a few days ago, so the children called him "the murderer".

Fortunately, no one would believe what the child said, and his alibi was quite solid... Rob looked at the "witness" Heiji Hattori had invited, and felt a little relieved.

Jiang Xia skillfully restored the jacket that had been dragged crookedly by the children—he was also often dragged by Hui Yuanai and Conan.

He glanced at the preoccupied Rob, and knew that the children suddenly called Rob a "murderer", but it had nothing to do with Akio Negishi, but the twin little Lori felt that Rob killed their sister Misa.

——Three years ago, when Rob recovered from his injury and left, Meisha vaguely sensed his feelings, and shyly asked her two younger sisters to ask for help.

Rob recalled his impression of Meisha, and euphemistically wrote "shine" on the small note, expressing that Meisha was like the shining light in his life.

However, due to Meisha's poor English, Rob's Japanese is not good - he can only speak but not write, and his mouth was injured by earth and rocks.
