Conan's Corpse Picker

Yuan Shan and Ye were stunned.Suddenly, I felt a little sad, and a little ridiculous.

Jiang Xia's shoulders suddenly felt numb...not psychologically, but really numb.

He glanced at the car window, and through the reflection of the dark sky, he vaguely saw Miss Spider who was originally sitting on his shoulders stretched out her eight sharp legs at some point, clutching him tightly as if there was no place to rest. .The translucent bamboo hat on the new ghost's head drooped, and big tears flowed out under the cover. The tears gathered on her chin, and then dripped into the clothes one by one, and finally returned to the ghost body... This cycle is very economical.

It's just a bit murderous to toss back and forth...

Just got a lot of killing intent from editor-in-chief Xie Ding, Jiang Xia thought about it, became a little generous for a while, took out a sprig of ghost mint and lighted it, intending to relieve his fatigue from staying up all night + staying up all night, and by the way, give Ms. Spider a supplement to prevent She cried herself out for a while.

The lighter clicked, the flame burst out, and a round spark lit up on the end of the cigarette as he breathed.

Yuan Shan and Ye's originally dull eyes moved slightly and moved over.

She looked at the cigarette that didn't quite match Jiang Xia, and felt that she should say something like "It's not legal for you to smoke", "There are still policemen sitting in front of you"...

But when he turned his head secretly, he found that the little policeman who was driving seemed to be a young man who had just joined the job. He was still shocked by this absurd love tragedy story.

Looking at Jiang Xia again, remembering what happened just now, Yuan Shan and Ye thought, maybe this is also Jiang Xia’s way to relieve stress... And this cigarette doesn’t smell like tobacco, but more like some plants... Maybe it just looks like smoke, but it's actually a special potion made by that Doctor Strange in Tokyo.

So in the end, she just silently stared at Jiang Xia's smoke without saying anything.

Hattori Heiji did not have such a complicated and tortuous mental journey - he was still concentrating on how to solve the case later.

Although detectives shouldn't hide the truth, the Shine incident doesn't seem to have much impact on the follow-up of the case.

"It's better not to say it." Jiang Xia felt that Miss Spider's strength in pulling him was a little stronger, so she opened her mouth to shake the balance in Hattori Heiji's heart:

"'Hanging himself because of shine', after all, is just a speculation, maybe there are other secrets in it. If you are not sure, please hide it from the police—this is not selfishness, just to avoid misleading others."

"!" Hattori Heiji felt that the second half of the sentence made sense, and immediately stopped struggling, "That's right."

Police officer in the front row: "..."

He was still in the car, and it was too much to say "keep it from the police" in front of him.

...But forget it, since everyone thinks he doesn't exist, then he can pretend he didn't hear it.The young policeman sighed with mixed emotions, and continued to be a car tool man without emotion.

Hattori Heiji finished his entanglement, gained extra energy, and suddenly realized something.

He paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Xia suspiciously: "Why do I feel that you are not surprised at all after hearing this tragic misunderstanding...you already knew?"

"..."

Jiang Xia actually wanted to put on a surprised expression just now, but was interrupted by Yuan Shan and Ye.

Later, he was attracted by the spider ghost again, and he was very concerned about those crystal clear tears, worried that they would not be caught by his sleeves, and would fall elsewhere, making it difficult to recover... for a moment he forgot to fool Hattori Heiji.

However, in the face of these high school student detectives with perfect brain power, it should be too late to start fooling around now...

Jiang Xia bit the cigarette butt of Ghost Mint, and said softly, "Surprise is not only the surprise on the face."

——He needs a cigarette to suppress his shock, isn't it much more serious than being surprised on his face.

Hattori Heiji:"……"

Although it makes sense, he always feels that this Tokyo detective is perfunctory to him...

However, thinking of this afternoon, on the way to Takeda's house together, Rob used "shine" and "shine" to describe Takeda Misa when chatting.

Think again about the police fan who gave Jiang Xia information about the spider mansion just now...

Hattori Heiji suddenly felt that it was normal for Jiang Xia to think about shine before he opened his mouth——Jiang Xia, it is not surprising to see anything in the shortest time, and he understands everything.

……

After smoothing over the case of the Spider Mansion and solving Miss Spider's commission by the way, Jiang Xia stuffed the burnt Ghost Mint into a portable ashtray.

Then, against Hattori Heiji's strange gaze, which was sometimes suspicious and sometimes suddenly realized, he strategically pretended to be asleep.

Judging from the information provided by Hattori Heiji just now, the Kansai detective had already deduced the case before following the police to the Star Hotel.

It's just that Hattori Heiji is still struggling with Rob's shine message, and the sudden murder case at the Star Hotel has not started to solve the case.

Now that the problem has been solved, Jiang Xia thought, when he "wakes up", Hattori Heiji should have automatically solved the case.

... I hope that future potential clients will realize that asking this Osaka detective to come over may bring disaster to the client after reading the report on Hattori Heiji's case.Then, in order to avoid this kind of disaster, they send commission letters to other detectives—yes, such as a high school student detective in Tokyo who is friendly and efficient in solving crimes.

……

Hattori Heiji finished tangling about Shine, and planned to go through his own case-solving process with Jiang Xia again-this is like doing a question usually, if the teacher doesn't send a reference answer, then the question is finished and it's done.But if there is an answer on the side, many people can't help but look at it... This is the situation of Hattori Heiji at this time.

It's just that he just straightened out his thoughts and turned his head. Before he could shake Jiang Xia, who had closed his eyes, Yuan Shan and Ye in the front row suddenly stretched out an arm and slapped him precisely on his mouth.

Yuan Shan and Ye whispered: "Don't disturb his rest - I heard that he met that kid named Conan yesterday and was forced to stay up all night."

... Although Yuan Shan and Ye didn't know the relationship between "meeting Conan" and "staying up all night", when she was taking a nap at the Star Hotel, she heard Jiang Xia explain it to his acquaintances in this way.

After the old man and the children listened, they didn't refute Jiang Xia.It can be seen that this may be the truth.

Hattori Heiji understood.

Jiang Xia also encountered a case on the way here?

In this case, it will be published in the newspaper almost tomorrow, and then I will buy a copy and come back to watch it...

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but glanced at Jiang Xia again: This guy actually gave Kudo the blame, obviously he could run into a case when he came out to watch any star, and it was still two lives, and when he met Kudo, he broke all night. Together, I met three times in one day... Hiss, what is going on with this man.

Hattori Heiji felt that this probability simply surpassed the category of "coincidence".

But after thinking about it, the frequency of his own encounters with cases, in the eyes of ordinary citizens, is also ridiculously high.

Maybe ordinary citizens feel exactly the same when they look at him as he looks at Jiang Xia now... In short, this should be just some kind of coincidence.It may even be God's will, something like "the stronger the ability to solve crimes, the more cases will be piled up" and the like.

No, no, the world is materialistic. To believe in science, there is no providence...

Hattori Heiji briefly fell into confusion.

……

When he arrived at Takeda's house, Jiang Xia took advantage of Hattori Heiji's reasoning and went around a small dark corner nearby.

However, no suspicious man in black ran out to meet him.

There is still no signal on the mobile phone, and emails and text messages cannot be received.

Looking at the empty inbox, Jiang Xia couldn't help worrying that Gin and Vodka thought it was too troublesome to meet a murder case along the way, so they left him and ran away alone.

Chapter 398 Strange New Vest

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xia walked around the police station again.

Then successfully inquired about some information.

——According to Hattori Heiji's reasoning, Takeda Shinichi is using puppets for drug trafficking.

However, after the police inspected the puppets in Takeda’s inventory, they found that although there were holes in them, they were not filled with anything; they wanted to ask customers who had bought these puppets, but they could not find the corresponding puppets from Takeda Shinichi’s study. customer list.

In the end, the police temporarily held a small meeting in the courtyard regarding "whether Shinichi Takeda was dealing in drugs".

Jiang Xia didn't listen any more, and left with peace of mind.

Drugs and client lists disappear at the same time, indicating that people from the organization have been here to clean up the aftermath.Gin should have followed, after all, he did say "I'll be there later".

And Jiang Xia recalled it, and found that when he was still at Takeda's house and didn't go to see the stars, there was no trace of the man in black around him—otherwise, when the ghosts jumped up and down to catch Miss Spider, they should be able to see...that is, The aftermath, said the aftermath, came after he left the Takeda home.

It was already late at that time, and now, it was just the first day of his business trip with Gin and Vodka, and the time was not tight enough for Gin to catch two tasks overnight.

After all, according to the ghosts who visited the Gin and Wine box last night, Gin and Wine may be too busy, or maybe they are waiting to see the death of Boss Yun. In short, he also did not close his eyes all night.

And gin does not have ghost mint to drink, so it can only replenish energy through sleep.So he should not go to the island tonight, but find a place to rest.

Jiang Xia feels fine.

As long as we wait at the pier on time tomorrow, we should be able to rejoin the two men in black teammates.

……

After Hattori Heiji's reasoning ended and he picked up the ghost on Rob's lap, Jiang Xia climbed into the police car and went down the mountain overnight.

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha did not stay much.

Although Hattori Heiji was quite concerned about the disappearing drugs, he still had to hand over the matter to the police for investigation—because it was past midnight, it was Sunday, and he had to go to school tomorrow.Plus, I haven't done my homework this weekend...

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji looked quietly at Jiang Xia who was sitting next to him and glanced at his phone from time to time: "Why don't you go to class."

The phone still has no signal.

Jiang Xia closed the screen and sighed disinterestedly: "Wait until you don't get a perfect score in the test—otherwise it feels like a waste of time."

Hattori Heiji:"……?"

...He felt that he had been mortalized by someone, but he had no proof.

……

When they arrived in the urban area, the three got out of the car and waved their hands to separate.

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha took a taxi to the station, ready to go back to Osaka.

Jiang Xia thought for a while, and took a taxi to a pier.

Then find the nearest hotel to stay.

——On the way down the mountain just now, his mobile phone finally got a signal and received an email from Gin.

Perhaps considering that Jiang Xia might be hanging out with the police, this email has no text content, only a ","

According to the itinerary confirmed before departure, this means that everything will go on as usual—as usual, it means going to the scheduled pier the day after Takeda Shinichi was wiped out, and taking the boat prepared by the organization in advance to go to Moon Shadow Island.

So after Jiang Xia came to the Pier Hotel, he deliberately chose a room on the third floor, the highest floor.

This place can barely be regarded as a sea view room. Looking out of the window, you can just see the port. You can let the ghosts take turns to stand guard and observe when the gin and vodka will arrive, so as to prevent delays in travel time.

After returning to the room and locking the door, Jiang Xia first found out the anti-surveillance equipment and fiddled with it.

After confirming that there was no problem, he removed Miss Spider who was still sitting on his shoulder.

It may be difficult for a normal ghost to maintain this sitting posture on his shoulders, and it may slip off easily.

But this ghost has her unique skill - when she is unable to sit still, she sneaks out her spider legs from behind, hooks Jiang Xia's clothes to adjust her body shape, and keeps her humanoid body still.

The ghost cried all the way just now, and now, it may be that the vast sea has some healing effect on the ghost. Miss Spider looked at the vast sea outside, wiped her face, and stopped crying.

Jiang Xia nodded secretly, it happened that there was no one here, so while she was in a calm mood, she signed the ghost first...

Go to the window and close the window tightly.
