Conan's Corpse Picker

Of course, he didn't take the phone home, he just found a place to hide it.

After that, I went to find Kidd as usual.

After all, magic power cannot be harvested over the phone—although Kidd doesn't know how to use magic yet, he seems to have mastered a little method of producing magic power.

Although compared to the two witches, Kidd's magic power is very meager.

But anyway, idleness is idleness. Rather than waiting for a case in vain, it is better to come here regularly to harvest a little magic power, so that you can have something to do...

……

However, Kidd's magic power grows slowly after all, so he can't go there too often, and his days are still not fulfilling enough.

So in the past few days, Jiang Xia took the time to do some other things.

For example, I went to send a pair of idol merchandise to Kogoro Mori—these merchandise are all exclusive and out-of-print items sent by Yoko Kinoshita, and Kogoro Mori is a fan of Yoko Kinoshita... While Kogoro Mori was happy, Jiang Xia inquired about him by the way Future travel plans.

Then Mori Kogoro happily told Jiang Xia that he planned to stay at home until he could recite the albums and magazines that Jiang Xia took with him.

...Jiang Xia left disappointed.

And secretly decided that in the future, they will only send items such as keychain posters, and they will never give away anything that can be seen.

In addition, Mao Lilan did not draw a new travel award.Suzuki Sonoko has no plans to stay in the new villa for the time being.

Send an email to ask if Gin has a task, Gin doesn't care, and Vodka does the same.

Jiang Xia even took the time to go to school, wanting to see if Belmode had successfully sneaked into their school, and the answer he got was no.

Sending a message to ask around, this mysterious witch with thousands of faces only said that she is busy entangled with the fbi at present, and after dealing with those annoying people, she will ask Jiang Xia to go over and slowly mix drinks.

As for Toru Amuro...

Jiang Xia looked at the address book, but finally did not press the dial button, and decided not to take the initiative to find him in the near future.After all, at this stage, due to the matter of Yueying Island and Uzo, Toru Amuro has paid enough attention to him. If there is a case, it must have already been found, so there is no need to go looking for it...

Jiang Xia roughly counted a circle of people, and excluded them one by one.

In the end, a few young figures remained in my mind.

——Those brats who are very attractive to cases.

...this one seems to give it a try.

And in my impression, he promised before that he would take the children to the movies for Dr. A Li.But at that time, they failed to travel successfully because of several incredible incidents at Didan Elementary School that delayed a lot of time.

Afterwards, I took a few children to visit Gomera's studio. As a result, I didn't watch the filming process at all, but watched a murder case all the way... So strictly speaking, this visit is still not a success.

In this case, Jiang Xia felt that it should be very reasonable to take the children out to watch a movie to make up for the regret.This is exactly what a mature and responsible adult should do—if you promise, you will do it.

Jiang Xia nodded secretly, and entered Hui Yuanai's phone number.

——If you invite him directly, those children will shyly reject him.

It's better to find someone directly and invite them face to face while the children are forming a group to mess around.With such a sincere attitude, it shouldn't be easy for them to refuse.

Today happened to be the weekend, and it was a common group time for the Boy Detectives.

And Haibara Ai, as a member of the Boy Detective Team, might know which block the children are currently active in.

……

Press the dial key and the call will be connected quickly.

In the receiver, from Hui Yuanai's side, there was the sound of the oven running, and soon the door was closed with a click.

Hui Yuanai left the kitchen, and an ethereal voice came through the receiver:

"Jiang Xia? What's wrong?"

Jiang Xia had just sent out the last cat stranded in the office, and was currently locking the door of the office.

He fiddled with the door lock with one hand, and held the phone in the other, and asked Hui Yuanai in a brisk tone:

"Those little friends of yours, are there any activities today? I remembered that I promised to ask them to go out to play, but I haven't had time to fulfill the promise. I just made an appointment to go out together - I haven't seen them for a long time, and I still miss them. "

Haibara Ai:"……?"

... Long time no see?

She remembered seeing him at the police station a few days ago.When the children saw Jiang Xia, they instinctively shrank behind her.

After that, Hui Yuan Ai went to play with Jiang Xia and that Siamese, and didn't pay attention to whether the children went to say hello to Jiang Xia...

At this time, Hui Yuan Ai thought of the general reaction of several children when they saw Jiang Xia, and also remembered Jiang Xia's sincere question just now, and fell into deep thought.

I have to say that Jiang Xia is quite good at finding someone.She really knows where those children are now...

——After all, he is also a member of the Boy Detective Team. Every time there is a group activity, Haibara Ai can receive news from the badge or in person.

Afterwards, regardless of whether Hui Yuan Ai went to participate or not, the three children would solemnly add to her and Conan, "Don't tell brother Jiang Xia".

And now...

Chapter 464 Jiang Xia's Scary Painting Style

Hui Yuanai thought about Jiang Xia's kind and expectant tone just now, rubbed the phone case with her small hands that had nowhere to rest, and fell into a tangle.

After thinking for a moment, she didn't answer Jiang Xia's question.

He just said nonchalantly: "I'm going to make your favorite fried shrimp and saury tonight, but the ingredients at home are exhausted. That... next to the south exit of Mihua Station, the seafood in Dayou Commercial Building Supermarket is relatively fresh. If you are free, you can Go buy some for me."

Jiang Xia paused for a moment, and said "Yes": "No problem, I'll go and have a look."

The brief call was quickly hung up.

Hui Yuanai looked at the blacked-out phone screen, remembered the ease and joy in Jiang Xia's last sentence, and the brats who were having fun in Dayou Commercial Building at this time, raised his hand and pressed his heart.

... a pang of conscience.

But... But Jiang Xia is not a bad person, and she never hits children.Those children often encounter cases of kidnapping, robbery, and even homicide.

At such a dangerous time, it may be safer to have Jiang Xia watching by the side...

Hui Yuanai briefly comforted himself, then put away the phone, returned to the kitchen, put on his gloves, and continued to fiddle with the oven and the desserts inside.

……

Beside the rice flower station.

The first floor of Dayou Commercial Building.

Conan, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko, the four children sat in the waiting area outside the cash register, each with an ice cream, happily eating dessert.

They played video games for a while in the game hall on the fifth floor.After playing the game, it is customary to go to the underground supermarket to buy ice cream and have a rest.

While they were discussing where to go tomorrow, the traffic around them gradually increased.

Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko held the ice cream that was almost finished in his hand, and shrank back carefully: "There are a lot of people."

Yoshida Ayumi often goes out to the supermarket with her mother, and she knows how to educate a few little boys: "Because it is already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and it happens to be time for everyone to buy dinner ingredients."

"Dinner..."

Mitsuhiko took a bite of the ice cream and suddenly thought of a new way to play.

He suggested with great interest: "By the way, let's play the menu reasoning game!"

"?" "?" "?"

Three puzzled eyes.

Conan was attracted by the word "reasoning", and repeated the unfamiliar new term in confusion: "menu reasoning?"

"That's right!" Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko pointed to the shelf next to the four of them.

On the shelf, there are some small rectangular plastic boxes, which are full of discarded receipts - shopping customers will organize shopping bags and pack change on the shelf.During this process, some people will take out the receipts and throw them away when they see the receipts in their wallets.

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya explained the new gameplay: "'Menu reasoning' refers to guessing what each family plans to eat tonight through those small tickets—"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a few small tickets while no one was paying attention: "It sounds interesting, then I'll start!"

Yuan Tai wrote "not interested" all over her face, sitting next to her and concentrated on eating the cone.He still prefers exciting adventures to guessing riddles, which he is not good at.

Conan is not very interested in this kind of reasoning that is about as difficult as "one plus one equals two", and:

"...This is an invasion of personal privacy."

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi shook their heads like rattles: "Detectives don't pay attention to these! And Conan usually inquires about other people's privacy."

Conan blushed: "..."

...for a while it was impossible to refute.

"Okay, listen carefully, I'm about to start!" Mitsuhiko picked up a sheet and read the items on it, "Potatoes, onions, 6 eggs, a pack of ground beef, bread flour..."

Ayumi Yoshida sounded familiar, and quickly answered: "It's a butter patty! Um... wait, it seems that there is still a shortage of flour..."

Conan listened with his ears open, and couldn't help interjecting: "Flour is a standing material at home, so you don't need to go out and buy it."

"Yeah, then I guessed it right!" Ayumi was happy again.

She also took a small ticket and read the content on it: "High-quality chicken drumsticks, tomato sauce, tomatoes, cabbage, celery..."

"It must be chicken rice! The one with vegetable salad!"

——It turned out to be the voice of Kojima Genta.

Although he doesn't like guessing riddles, he is very interested in eating... and now that the meal is approaching, he is actually starting to get hungry.

Kojima Motota decisively joined the game of "menu reasoning".

He reached out to grab the receipt.

However, when the hand stretched out, it touched the other hand that was stretched out above the receipt box.

Kojima Motota subconsciously raised his head to see the person in front of him, his smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

The other three children turned their heads in doubt when they heard Yuantai's rough laughter that stopped abruptly.

——I saw Jiang Xia actually standing behind them, taking out the receipt from the receipt box first.

Jiang Xia looked down at the paper in his hand, then looked at the four children, and said friendlyly: "What are you playing?"

His kind eyes swept across, and the three children froze.

Conan, who was the only one who could speak normally, turned around and gave a science introduction to his classmates: "It's a new way for children to find out - from the items on the receipt, guess what the buyer plans to eat for dinner..."
