Conan's Corpse Picker

Chapter 447 Amuro Toru's Horse Picking Progress

The Siamese in Mrs. Masuo's house seems to be a very clever cat.

——At this time, it changed its cold and cold appearance that it didn't touch before, and when Jiang Xia reached out, it took the initiative to lean against his hand, and even gave a very sweet "meow~".

Jiang Xia: "..."

Hui Yuanai walked to the side at some point.

She bent down and put her knees to look at this not very pure but quite beautiful cat, and thoughtfully suggested: "If its owner hadn't contacted the adopter in advance, it might be sent to those cats. An institution with a lot of dogs... If you like it, why not try to adopt it?"

Siam's pointed ears moved, as if he understood, and his tail curled up, wrapping around Jiang Xia's wrist very intimately.

Jiang Xia stared at the cat hesitantly for a while, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, I don't have time to raise it." Moreover, this cat's face is too dark, and I always feel that it will suck away his European spirit...

Siam rubbed Jiang Xia's tail for a while, then suddenly stood up, and punched him on the leg.

Then he walked away wagging his tail.

Haibara Ai:"……"

Is this cat a jerk?

It's quite spiritual...

Speaking of which, although Jiang Xia doesn't have time to raise her, she has time.The cat doesn't need to slip away, she happens to be at home often...

Hui Yuanai brought back the cat that ran away, reached out and stroked the furry cat's head, feeling a little moved.

She likes small animals very much, if Jiang Xia also likes them, then after she has cats, Jiang Xia can come to her to rub cats, and she doesn't need to contact those weird cat owners...

However, in the end, Hui Yuan Ai still failed to take the cat home.

——The niece of the store manager Masuo heard the news and came to help with the matter, and took the cat away along the way.

Hui Yuanai sighed regretfully as she watched her niece leave with the cat in her arms.

……

Jiang Xia took a look at the lively cat that played a lot, and quickly looked away.

He sat down on the chair, shifted his vision to the ghost, and let the ghost float to the archives to check the situation.

Officer Sato said just now that the case file related to him was called out to check.

Other than the undercover agent sent to the police by the organization, Toru Amuro is probably the only one who would be too bored to let people do this kind of thing...

From the perspective of time, Jiang Xia thinks it is more likely to be the latter.

From this point of view, Toru Amuro's intuition seems to be quite good, as expected, each of these red parties are very capable of cheating...

Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.

Since Toru Amuro will ask people to re-investigate the "cases that Jiang Xia participated in", it means that he may have vaguely smelled a little bit of "Uzo" from the frequent murder cases encountered by his employees, so he wants to investigate those cases. , Is there any trace of the existence of members of the organization.

Thus……

There is nothing to worry about.

... After all, "Uzo" is not a ruthless killer behind the scenes, but just an innocent psychic who follows all the red and black sides and tries hard to solve the case.

Unless the truth is that Conan has been hiding behind the scenes and planning murders, the cases Jiang Xia participated in, no matter how they are investigated, are really just ordinary murders.

...The only unusual thing is that Jiang Xia did have some contact with some of the deceased or the murderer.

But most of them just met a few times.

If it wasn't like Gin, who had clearly sent many assassination missions to "Uzo", and then the assassination target was indeed murdered to death within the time limit, otherwise no one would be able to conclude "" Jiang Xia is the driving force behind the homicide," the conclusion.

...In short, these few contacts may make Toru Amuro suspicious and make some temptations.

But it will never make him firmly believe that "Jiangxia = Uzuo".

After all, no matter how you look at it, the busy high school student detective has nothing to do with the member of the sinister organization hiding in the dark.

……

After leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, Jiang Xia's life returned to peace.

Although Toru Amuro is investigating him, it is impossible to get results immediately.

And when Jiang Xia continued to pick up cats and send out cats, thinking about the invitation letters sent by the reserve prisoners.

On the other side, there are also people who are still thinking about him.

……

On the outskirts of Tokyo, in a spooky castle.

"Aunt Hongna."

Koizumi Koko lay haggard on the crimson bed, holding a warm water bottle in her arms, and there was a cup of steaming medicine on the bedside table next to her.

Holding the phone in her hand, she asked the person on the other side of the phone hesitantly: "Are there really no records about monsters in the family's ancient books?"

"No, there are no monsters in the world. At least there has never been a record of monsters appearing."

A lazy and feminine female voice came from the receiver, the female voice was slightly drawn out, accompanied by the movement of stirring the iron pot, giving people a little mysterious impression.

After Minamoto Kona answered Koizumi Hongko's question, she paused for a moment, and then let out a meaningful chuckle: "If there is, it will be a perfect specimen that will shock the entire magic world."

"Specimen..." Koizumi Hongzi frowned, her hand holding the quilt was slightly tightened, and the silk fabric was clenched into several folds.

She thought of Wu Tiangu and the feel of his wings that night, and then turned her head to look at the strong cage that the servant had ordered overnight, which was placed in a corner of her room at this time, and secretly retorted in her heart - she still wanted to live more.

Before euphemistically explaining, another voice came from the other side of the phone——

"I've already booked the nearest flight ticket, and I'll arrive at one o'clock in the afternoon."

Yuan Hongna's voice was soft, but there was a hint of toughness in her tone that was hard to refuse: "Remember to ask that ugly thing to pick me up at the airport—I'll try to use you as a medium to divine the whereabouts of that monster first."

"Ah? You want to come here." Koizumi Hongzi was taken aback, "But..."

beep-beep-

The phone was hung up.

... Yuan Hongna was obviously not discussing the itinerary with her, but just announcing.

Koizumi Hongzi frowned at the phone.To be honest, she just wanted to whore her aunt's knowledge for nothing, and then deal with that scary but wanted monster herself.I didn't expect to bring my aunt here directly...

However, after all, he is a senior wizard worthy of respect...

Koizumi Hongko remembered what Minamoto said just now, turned to the low servant, and casually instructed: "Aunt Hongna will be at the airport tomorrow at 1:[-] p.m., remember to pick her up."

Yuan Hongnai, formerly known as Koizumi Hongnai, is the heir of witchcraft in the previous generation of Koizumi's family.After she got married, she changed her surname and lived outside all year round.

A magician can usually accumulate a large amount of magic power, but correspondingly, after it is used up, the recovery will become extremely slow.

Koizumi Hongzi is so weak that she can't even use the magic mirror, but she is worried that Wutengu will run away if she delays for too long, so she decides to ask her aunt for help.

...It's just that I didn't expect that my aunt was so interested in monsters.

Koizumi Hongzi sighed, threw the phone on the quilt angrily, then pinched the corner of the quilt, and slowly slid into the quilt.

Chapter 448 Kidd Tragically Captured

Ugly servants are not liked by the witches in appearance, but they are very reliable in their work.

In the afternoon, Minamoto got into the servant's car and arrived at the castle where Koizumi Hongko was.

During the previous call, she had already heard Koizumi Hongzi briefly talk about what happened before.

Now, Minamoto Hongna asked about the details again, especially the matter that Koizumi Hongzi was lifted into the sky by Wutengu and thrown down, trying to float in the air but failed.

Then she sensibly denied Hongzi Koizumi's guess: "Honored from generation to generation, our magic has been perfected, it will not fail, and there will be no creatures that can feed on magic power—otherwise, how could he have been used before?" You've been stuck for so long."

"But..." Koizumi Hongzi didn't have time to think about it at the time, but after returning, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

She even suspected that Wutengu's weak and tangled appearance in the magic circle was actually pretended by him—maybe it was simply a measure taken by the cunning monster to trick her into maintaining the magic circle so as to take away her magic power.

Yuan Hongna interrupted her niece in a gentle tone:

"Mental state has a great influence on magic, you were too nervous and excited at that time.

"And it was a full moon that night. For us, the full moon is actually a double-edged sword-it can indeed bring us strength and make the magic power skyrocket, but at the same time it will also bring some magic power that does not belong to us, so that the power does not belong to us. Re-stabilize.

"Magic power requires precise operation. Whether it is mixed with impurities or the wrong amount, it will affect the final effect... Alas, if I were here, I would prevent you from choosing that day to plan."

After finishing speaking, Minamoto Hongna thought for a while, and corrected again:

"No, not even if it wasn't that day—

"Love chocolate is a forbidden technique for us... After this matter is resolved, you remember to write a [-]-word review and submit it to the Association of Magicians."

Koizumi Hongzi: "..."

She had piled up her homework for the past few days, and now she suddenly had another self-criticism, and a vein popped out of her forehead.

She argued unconvincedly: "Those powerful magics that can easily take away people's lives are not forbidden arts. Why should a piece of chocolate be banned? It just changes the mind of the user in a certain way."

Yuan Hongna shook her head, revealing a meaningful smile, her exquisite face half-bright and half-dark under the gloomy lights of the castle: "Silly boy, the destructive power of dividing the forbidden art is not aimed at others, but at ourselves— —”

"Magic with great power can hurt others, but it can protect us, so it is not a forbidden technique.

"But love chocolate is different-you should have already experienced it. Everyone, um...every creature thinks differently and expresses it in a variety of ways. Not everyone will fall in love with you as you expect. After you, I will do my best and bow down to you.

"On the contrary, that kind of chocolate may raise a group of crazy people who want to get close to us.

"Even if they are just weak ordinary people without magic, when they want to achieve something and get something by any means, they may cause huge trouble... In short, similar magic should not be used in the future."

Koizumi Hongzi nodded hesitantly.

...What Aunt Hongna said seems quite reasonable.

Before Minamoto came here, Koizumi Hongko was still thinking that when Kiritengu ate the chocolate, he ate the magic power in it together, which caused the magic to fail. She took it to the sky and threw it around.

But now it seems...

Maybe it's actually like what she thought at the beginning - the love magic did work on Wutiangu, and she became paralyzed in the sky, just because Wutiangu's understanding of love is different from ordinary people.

...how "out of the ordinary" is it?

It won't be so different that you want to eat your lover into your stomach...

Koizumi Hongzi shuddered silently when she thought of the legend about Wutian dog eating people.
