Conan's Corpse Picker

He turned his head and looked towards the auditorium, where he saw a person standing up.

——Jiang Xia took a few steps unskilledly, bypassing the row of seats.Then he came to the front of the stage with a slightly sluggish pace, lowered his head and glanced at the edge of the stage at his waist height, as if he wanted to climb up.

Conan: "!"

If it is two or three times higher in normal times, Jiang Xia can easily turn over without any effort.

but now……

Conan beckoned to Jiang Xia, and hurriedly stopped him with the voice of an innocent child: "Brother Jiang Xia, there are steps over there!"

After finishing speaking, when Jiang Xia heard the sound and raised his head to look at him, Conan turned his head and glanced at Toru Amuro, and secretly reminded Jiang Xia that there was a suspicious person here—I don’t know if he noticed Toru Amuro in Jiang Xia’s state just now.

……

At this time, the real Jiang Xia was still driving Wu Tiangou's puppet, happily searching in the witch's castle.

And now it is Miyano Akemi who is helping him move the main body.

Miyano Akemi looked at Conan who proposed to it, and then at the edge of the higher stage, then turned to the steps smoothly and walked around the stage.

She planned to follow what Jiang Xia said, put the body on the phone at a place closer to the murder scene, and pretend to have worked hard.

Amuro Toru also heard Conan's greeting.

He turned around and looked, just as he saw Jiang Xia who was gradually thawing out of his distracted state, he suddenly heard a "click" sound as if something had broken.

Amuro raised his head vigilantly, looking for the source of the sound, and found that the sound seemed to be coming from a corner of the ceiling above the stage—it happened to be at the section near the steps, which was the necessary place for Jiang Xia to reach the crime scene after changing his path. through the road.

Chapter 460 Conan

When Toru Amuro was looking for the source of the noise just now.

Next to him, Jun Tateoka was extremely flustered after being exposed by the director and manager about his grievances with the heroine, so the suspicious eyes on him suddenly increased a lot.

Jun Tateoka panicked, and his mind collapsed: "I really didn't poison the cup! I just wanted to make her suffer a little injury, so... so I moved a little bit on the curtain."

It was almost as if it had been arranged.As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain above Jiang Xia's head snapped and broke, and the heavy wooden railing rolled a large piece of fragmented decorations and fell down.

Toru Amuro: "...?"

The hanging curtain hooked the column next to it, temporarily slowing down the falling speed of the railing.

Toru Amuro yelled "Get away", and was about to run over to drag Jiang Xia, who had a high delay, to the side.

But at this moment, a slender figure passed by him, rushing towards Jiang Xia and the falling railing at the speed of light——Mao Lilan stepped on a stool beside him and jumped up, kicked flying, and kicked heavily on the heavy railing.

She kicked out a crack in the hard and solid wood, and it sank from it, leaving just where Jiang Xia was.

At the same time as the huge horizontal rail fell to the ground with a bang, Mao Lilan also used his strength to somersault and landed next to Jiang Xia, patted his heart, and let out a sigh of relief as if he was frightened.

Toru Amuro stopped silently, watching the scene silently.Then suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at the suspicious elementary school student.

Seeing the shoe on Conan's right foot, it was flashing with lightning. For some reason, Amuro felt a sense of crisis when he saw the light.

Just as she was thinking, another person trotted over from the backstage—Suzuki Sonoko was also taken aback by the movement just now. At this moment, she came back to her senses and ran to Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan: "Are you all right?"

Toru Amuro: "..."

A female high school student with terrifying explosive power, a strange and suspicious elementary school student, and the daughter of the chairman of the Suzuki Foundation...

How do you feel that the people around Jiang Xia are more or less unique.

...It seems that this can also be regarded as a certain characteristic of the event constitution?

The balance in Toru Amuro's heart, "Jiang Xia is not Uzuo, and she encountered too many cases just because of bad luck", Wu Sheng gained a little more weight, temporarily bringing back the scene that was suppressed by the psychiatrist.

……

on the stage.Miyano Akemi drove Jiang Xia's body, peeked at the cracked railing on the ground, then turned her head to look at the two girls who were about the same age as her younger sister, and almost raised her hand to touch their heads.

But when she thought that this was Jiang Xia's body, she tried her best to hold back, and in the end she just nodded slightly to the two of them, indicating that it was okay, and then continued to walk towards the scene of the crime, stopping two or three meters away from the corpse.

Toru Amuro was standing next to him.

He glanced at Jiang Xia, who was always thinking about solving the case, with complicated emotions, and whispered: "I already have a clue, you go back and sit down."

Akemi Miyano pretended not to hear, and stood still - the master said that he would stay at the scene of the crime, even if he didn't solve the case, at least he would at least look like he was doing his best.

Seeing "Jiang Xia" ignoring others, Amuro fell silent for a while.Don't say anything inside, usually, Jiang Xia is a very polite employee at least on the surface, but this time he just ignored him... It seems that no matter how normal he usually behaves, psychological problems do exist.

While thinking, he dragged the stool over and pushed it to Jiang Xia's side.

Miyano Akemi looked back at the chair, pondered for a moment, felt that this place could be regarded as "next to the crime scene", and then sat down reservedly.

……

The crew looked at the falling curtain in shock, and then looked at Jun Tateoka with the eyes of a "reserve murderer".

The bastard just said that he moved his hands and feet on the curtain, and the curtain fell the next second. If such a heavy object just hit someone, it would be impossible for him to "suffer a little injury" as he said .

And this is almost equivalent to an indiscriminate attack - that position is not limited to the heroine, other people will also pass by...

If it weren't for the fact that there were many policemen nearby, Jun Tateoka would have been pushed to the ground and beaten violently by his colleagues.

Shun Tateoka stared at a bunch of unkind eyes, his back turned cold, and he followed up on what he said just now, and defended: "Yes, just like just now...but you also saw that it didn't work, right?"

Amuro glanced at him.

...Even if there were no casualties, combined with his words and deeds just now, it would be fine to shut him down for a few years.

But it was really scary just now.If Jiang Xia was really Wu Zuo, he wouldn't have passed by the place where the curtain was about to fall.

And Jiang Xia went there just now because...

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro looked at Conan thoughtfully.

...Speaking of which, when Conan is sitting in his car, there always seems to be something wrong with his car.Like a flat tire or something.Then there will be various incidents, and a large part of them are homicides.

Thinking of these past events, Toru Amuro was silent for a moment, his eyes moved back and forth between Jiang Xia and Conan covertly, and it was difficult to find the exact landing point for a while.

……

On the outskirts of Tokyo, in an eerie castle.

Jiang Xia walked around the castle with ghosts and shikigami, squeezing out all the magical things he encountered on the way.

After that, he waited boredly for a while, but the witch and the foreign...helper she invited still didn't come back.

Think about the main body still has something to do, plus he has memorized the address here, he can come to visit at any time.

Jiang Xia didn't stay any longer, turned around and went back to the room where Kidd was.

……

Although Kidd was extremely exhausted, after all, he was in the witch's lair, and he was still dizzy. At this moment, he regained a little physical strength and had already struggled to wake up.

When Jiang Xia opened the door, she saw Kidd slumped on the sofa, with one hand on the back of the sofa, looking at the ceiling and thinking about life, as if he wanted to sit up, but failed.

As soon as the door slammed, Kidd instinctively got up nervously, but failed again.

He lay flat and glanced at Wutiangou who came in, patted the sofa under him, and covered up his embarrassment with small talk: "The witch's sofa is so soft."

Jiang Xia is not very interested in the softness and hardness of the sofa.

He walked over to pick up the person and pushed open the window: "It's time to go."

It's not easy to take a taxi in the wilderness. Seeing Kidd's appearance, it's not realistic for him to walk back.

Jiang Xia simply flew all the way to the city with the people in his arms.

Kidd was shivering from the cold night wind when he suddenly heard Wu Tiangou's calm voice above his head.

The monster seemed to persuade him for him: "You are too weak, you can't go on like this - go and learn magic."

"...Magic? Is this something you can learn if you want to?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Kidd couldn't help but think of the strange energy that sprouted in his body just now: "You want to teach me? But I haven't seen you use magic..."

Ok?

Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Chapter 461 Learning Methods

Kidd slowly thought of Hongzi Koizumi, who was kidnapped by Wutiangou a few nights ago, and the magic circle that disappeared quickly after Wutiangu fell in the castle just now.

...Suddenly he saw through Wutengu's true intention to persuade him to learn magic.

Kidd looked down at his miserable self, and then at Wutiangou: "I'm already like this, and you still want to squeeze the magic power? Are you still human..."

After instinctively condemning him, he remembered something, and silently closed his mouth: Well, he really isn't...

Wutiangou looked up at the sky, ignored the second half of Kidd's sentence, and only answered the previous question:

"I don't know magic, but I have heard about this kind of thing. This seems to be some kind of thaumaturgy that has been passed down from generation to generation. You have produced magic power just now. Since you have this talent, it means that your previous generation also had— —You can ask your father and ask him to come and teach you.”

"..." actually said the word "output" directly. In the eyes of Wu Tiangou, the terrible magician is just like a candy factory...

Kidd was thinking secretly when he suddenly heard Jiang Xia's last words.

He was silent for a while: "My dad is gone. Eight years ago, when he was performing escape magic together, hostile forces tampered with the props, and he was blown to death."

Jiang Xia was also silent for a while: "...There is no injury if there is smoke."

Kidd didn't understand: "?"

"If you haven't seen someone die with your own eyes, there is a high chance that person is still alive..." Jiang Xia thought for a while, "Even if he is really gone, there should be other ways to learn magic, you can't always Hide from the witch and live alone in the world."

Kidd sighed as he recalled how he returned home from school normally yesterday, but was spotted and taken away by the witch on the way home.

...This really affects his daily life too much, and at the same time, it will inevitably affect his activities when he was "Phantom Thief Kid".

He thought for a while: "Let me ask my mother. Since magicians rely on inheritance, then my talent may also be passed down from her side."

After finishing speaking, Kidd thought of the strange new term Wutiangou just now, and his heart moved slightly.

…Speaking of which, when my father was "killed by bombing", my mother's sadness didn't last long and dissipated quickly.

Although this can be barely explained that she has a big heart, or is good at hiding her emotions, but... maybe there is something else hidden - for example, his father is not dead at all?

Thinking of this possibility, Kidd's mood improved a lot.

Also, as a qualified magician, you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.
