Conan's Corpse Picker

Before he finished speaking, the three children next to him stood up suddenly, turned to Jiang Xia in unison, and bowed as if admitting their mistakes: "I'm sorry! We shouldn't invade other people's privacy, and we will definitely not do it again next time!"

Conan: "...?"

...That's not what you said just now!

Jiang Xia looked at the three heads approaching him, and touched them before they could react.

Then, when the three children touched their necks in horror to check whether the head was still there, they nodded and commented: "Very creative game."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xia also looked at the stack of small tickets in his hand, and read the top one as if participating in a game: "Raincoat, gloves, hemp rope, large black plastic bag, hatchet..."

Conan: "???"

...Why did Jiang Xia's painting style suddenly go wrong when he came to Jiang Xia?

Wait, this floor is a food supermarket, so it doesn't sell these things at all!

"Let me see."

Conan jumped off his seat, hurried to Jiang Xia's side, and took the receipt from him.

He originally suspected that Jiang Xia was scaring the child.

However, after a quick glance, these items were actually written on the receipt.The name of the store is not this supermarket, but a tool store across the street.

The stack of receipts that Jiang Xia took had overlapped creases on each of them—the person who dropped it probably pulled out a large stack of accumulated receipts from his wallet while collecting the change, and they were lumped together Throw it away.

…Since the receipt is real, why did this person buy these things?

Another knife, another glove to block fingerprints, and a raincoat to prevent blood splashes... What are you doing?What exactly does this person want to do? !

Chapter 465 How to Rescue Hui Yuanai's Conscience

I have seen a lot of cases of the Boy Detective Team, and I have some bad premonitions when I hear these strange things.

They didn't dare to snatch the receipt from Jiang Xia, but the receipt was with Conan at this time.

Soon, the three children squeezed next to Conan, took out a ticket from the stack of neatly creased receipts, and looked at the items on it: "12 eggs, low-gluten flour, paper cups, chocolate needles, butter……"

While thinking about it, Ayumi breathed a sigh of relief: "These are the ingredients for making cupcakes. I bought them with my mother before—people who are about to kill people will definitely not be in the mood to make desserts!"

"That's right, and this person seems to be sick." Mitsuhiko also looked at another receipt in his hand, and whispered, "Look, he also went to the pharmacy and bought grams..." He read the strange words unskillfully. The name of the drug, "Crony."

"Crony?!" Conan's face changed slightly.

Jiang Xia glanced at Conan.Tasted this strange word.

He had never heard of this drug, and he thought it might be some kind of special product in Ke Xue's world...

Fortunately, at this time, without him asking any more questions, the three children had already started asking Conan, "What's wrong? What's wrong with this medicine?"

Jiang Xia pricked up her ears as if nothing had happened, ready to eavesdrop.

Conan didn't realize that there was one more object of science popularization.

He said solemnly: "This is a colorless or white crystal, which is generally used to disinfect and sterilize the skin...

"More importantly, it has no special smell, and at the same time, it is not lightly toxic, and can easily kill small animals—and if it is eaten by humans, it will cause the eater to paralyze the whole body and lose strength.

"I've encountered...cough, brother Jiang Xia has encountered cases of using this drug to poison cats and dogs, or mixing it in food to kidnap others."

Jiang Xia nodded.

On the surface, it was helping Conan to smooth things over, but in reality, he felt that the useful knowledge had increased.

This Crony must be written down.

——A colorless, odorless poison that is easily sneaked into food.When I go back, I will look up its specific effects. If the side effects are not serious, I will make some preparations, which can complement the anesthesia needle...

When Conan heard Jiang Xia read the receipt containing the hatchet just now, he already felt something was wrong.

At this time, I saw that the shopper's list contained poison, and suddenly felt that the matter was serious.

Connecting these items together can easily make up a murder assembly line.

——mixed "Crony" into desserts, coaxed people to eat them, and made people incapacitated.Afterwards, put on the raincoat, dismember the corpse with a hatchet, and take it away in pieces...

Thinking of this, Conan's expression turned ugly, and he turned to Jiang Xia suddenly: "We must find that person as soon as possible."

Jiang Xia nodded, and looked at the long strip of paper in his hand: "There are a few other folded receipts... From here, maybe we can find clues about that person."

... This group of children gathered together, and the event physique was really extraordinary.

……

The remaining few receipts have different locations and times, but they are all recent shopping records in this area.

There is only one special one - unlike other receipts, this one is not a purchase record left in the commercial area, but received by the mysterious person when he bought a plastic umbrella in the convenience store of the Utopia Mihua Park branch.

A group of people first asked about the situation in the shops around the commercial building.

I couldn't get any useful information, so I took a car to the convenience store again, intending to check the situation.

Before leaving, Jiang Xia added some dry ice to the shopping bag to prevent the freshly bought shrimp and fish from spoiling—he still remembered Hui Yuanai asking him to buy vegetables.He wanted information from the Detective Boys and a delicious dinner.

The weather is neither hot nor cold now, in order to avoid spending too much time looking for murderous or ghosts and affecting the quality of fish and shrimp.

On the way, Jiang Xia called Hui Yuanai.

Hui Yuanai quickly picked it up.

She cleared her throat with a little guilt: "Well, how about the supermarket?"

"Very good, the ingredients are very fresh." Jiang Xia's mood was even better than the ingredients, "By the way, when I was shopping in the supermarket, I ran into a few of your classmates, and found something wrong together..."

He briefly talked about the strange receipt, and then said:

"We are going to investigate near the Utopia Rice Flower Park and try to prevent possible injuries. If you are free, why don't you come and pick up the ingredients?"

Hui Yuanai breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll be there soon."

Sure enough, those children encountered an incident again.

At times like this, of course it is safer to have Jiang Xia around...

The pain in Haibara's conscience subtly eased a little.

……

Near Utopia Mihua Park.

The two groups soon converged near an intersection.

Hui Yuanai took the cold shopping bag from Jiang Xia's hand, her eyes fluttered slightly.She glanced at Conan, who was looking between her and Jiang Xia, thoughtful, and then showed an expression of "that's how it is", and the three opposite Conan, who were focusing on the receipt, completely unaware that they were being betrayed. The kid who died... her fragile conscience began to ache again.

Hui Yuanai tidied up the little coat on her body discreetly.

Then he looked at the three children, his gaze and tone softened a lot: "When you're done with work, do you want to go to my place to try some dessert? I just baked some cookies."

The eyes of the three hungry children lit up when they heard the delicious snacks.

But before he could nod his head excitedly, several consecutive crisp sounds of "Ding-Ding--" were suddenly heard a few meters away.

It was as if a small metallic object had fallen to the ground.

Jiang Xia turned her head to look at the source of the sound, then raised her head casually, and looked diagonally upwards.

—A nine-story apartment building stands next to it.

While the other children were focusing on finding the source of the sound, Jiang Xia put the ghosts who wanted to rush out to gather their murderous aura back into his pockets, and followed him to the place where the metal sound came from.

Just now, a group of them happened to be standing near the intersection.

And turn around that intersection, and walk less than five meters forward, you can see a faint reflection on the ground.

A closer look reveals a metal "S"-shaped hook lying there.

Kojima Motota's eyes fell on it, his eyes lit up, and he planned to pick it up.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he suddenly intuitively felt something was wrong.

Taking a closer look, I saw that Ayumi and Mitsuhiko next to them were not as happy as before when they encountered clues.Instead, she was staring at him, blinking wildly.

"..."

Kojima Motota was stunned, and looked down at his feet.

There was a figure cast on him from behind by the setting sun.

The elementary school student with a long reflex arc shuddered slowly.

In the next second, he withdrew his hand reaching for the hook, stood up straight, and silently moved to the side to make way, pretending that nothing happened just now.

Chapter 466 Hui Yuan Ai's Domain

Jiang Xia found out the gloves and put them on, walked to the "S"-shaped hook that fell from the sky, picked it up and looked at it.

Almost at the same time, Hui Yuan Ai also squatted beside him.

When she stood up again, she had an extra "S"-shaped hook of the same style in her hand.In addition, on the hook of hers, she also wore a finger-thick metal ring.

"...It's a ring." Hui Yuanai pinched it with a handkerchief, brought it close to her eyes, and looked it over, "M_to_A is written on the inside—this should be someone whose name starts with M, and is given to someone whose name starts with A." people's wedding rings."

"Ring?" The other children were taken aback.

Even if it is a bad wedding ring, it will not be regarded as a falling object and thrown away casually.And now, since it was thrown down, there should be some compelling reason.

Speaking of it, two "S" hooks and a ○ ring worn together can just spell "SOS"-a typical distress signal.

Hui Yuanai walked to Jiang Xia's side, raised her hand on tiptoe, and put on the two hooks with wedding rings.

Then she looked at the "SoS" written vertically, and frowned slightly: "Could this be related to the person you are looking for?"

"It's possible." Jiang Xia looked up at the apartment next to him.

This apartment building has a total of nine floors, and there is a row of windows on the building facing this side.

But now, all the windows are closed, and it is impossible to tell from which one the hook came out.

Jiang Xia's gaze swept from bottom to top, and his eyes stopped slightly on a certain floor.There is a vague sense of murderous intent inside.

It's a pity that when the hook landed, they were not standing in this direction, but on the other side of the intersection.Can't see the windows over there.And when he looked up at the window just now, Conan had already observed it in advance.Otherwise, you can use the excuse that you saw the person by the window and rush up directly...

Fortunately, this is not a problem at all - as long as you enter the apartment and go around, when you get to the murderous floor, knock on the door politely under the pretext that something is wrong, and then pick up the room. The gangster's killing intent can be knocked away.
