Conan's Corpse Picker

……

Jiang Xia drove a ghost, eavesdropped for a while, and gradually understood the situation.

——A few days ago, the client’s home was stolen, and none of the money and jewelry was lost, except for a precious pottery.

Thought he was a tasteful thief who only stole works of art.

Unexpectedly, the client found the pottery fragments that had been deliberately broken near his home the next day.

"..." Not for money, nor for art, but also violently smashed the newly acquired pottery, as if venting anger... This kind of behavior with unknown purpose made the client feel hairy.

He called the police, but they found nothing.

Later, when the client was in a coffee shop, he was complaining about the matter to his friends.

A passing waiter suggested that he try to find a detective.

So they came to Hint Detective Agency - the enthusiastic waiter, of course, was Toru Amuro who "coincidentally" worked in the coffee shop.

……

While eavesdropping on the case, Jiang Xia recalled the plots she had seen, but did not remember similar cases happening.

There are a few pieces related to pottery, but the details are not right.

Jiang Xia: "..." Maybe it has nothing to do with the case, but just the task of the organization.Of course, it may also be the police.

……

Not long after, Toru Amuro left the client's contact information and sent him out.

Jiang Xia took back the baby ghost, and also took back her hearing. She got up to help Amuro Tou see off the guests, and looked for opportunities to talk to her.

After Anshi Tou finished sending people off, he turned around and found that there was another person behind him, and suddenly remembered that Jiang Xia asked for leave to go to the hospital yesterday.

So he casually expressed condolences: "How is it? Are you all right?"

Jiang Xia hesitated to speak.

Amuro was taken aback.

He was just asking casually, because he felt that Jiang Xia looked normal.Going to the hospital should be just a routine checkup.

But now, why does the employee have such an expression...

Toru Amuro felt that something was hidden, and he concentrated a little: "What happened?"

Could it be that the medical examination revealed a terminal illness...

Jiang Xia shook his head: "It's fine. It's just that the doctor who consulted... always felt that he had killed someone before."

Toru Amuro: "?"

Jiang Xia continued: "And my intuition tells me that everything is not over yet—in the future, maybe similar things will happen."

Toru Amuro: "..."

He subconsciously rolled up his sleeves, his eyes became sharper.

——In short, there are currently two possibilities.

One is that Jiang Xia is a genius at observing words and expressions: from a short conversation, he can see that the doctor is a dangerous serial killer.

And the other is that Jiang Xia is not as normal as he looks, but is lurking with persecution paranoia or something like that.

Toru Amuro: "..." No matter which one is, it is worthy of vigilance and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

The former one deals with doctors.The latter is to send employees to the hospital, and let the organization reimburse the treatment expenses by the way.

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, she always felt that Toru Amuro's expression was a little weird.

He took a step back cautiously, and added more: "And that doctor has a gun in his bag, I can't be wrong."

... The gun was actually seen by Xiaobai.Ghosts have a unique advantage in searching—they can walk through luggage and check unopened bags.

Toru Amuro: "Really..."

Toru Amuro finally responded to the specific message of "gun", and gradually became more inclined to "the doctor has a problem".

In the process of psychological diagnosis and treatment, even if the doctor intends to control it, it is difficult to completely hide some of his habits and mentality.

I've heard that some people are extremely sensitive about this.And Jiang Xia is not an ordinary depressed patient—on the contrary, he is related to the organization, and he has come into contact with many murderers.

Toru Amuro: "..." In my impression, the Department of Psychology of Mihua Pharmacist Field Hospital is very famous.

As far as he knew, many policemen would also go there to register.As long as the doctor wanted to, it would not be difficult for him to extract some information from the police, and even influence those police in reverse.

Such a doctor, if there is really a problem...

Toru Amuro gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.

……

However, no matter what you think in your heart, you can't say it on your face.

— After all, he is not a policeman now, he is the Bourbon of the organization.He should be happy when the police are unlucky.

"You think too much." Toru Amuro put down the rolled up cuffs again, and said as if he didn't care too much, "However, since that doctor made you think like this, it means that he is not suitable for you. A hospital."

Jiang Xia nodded and said nothing more.

Going on, the intention is too obvious.In that case, in order to hide their identities, the undercover comrades would definitely not touch Dr. Fenghu, and Jiang Xia would have to do it himself.

……

Amuro Toru is still very busy today, and after chatting with Jiang Xia for a few words, there is another task added to the heavy work list.

He didn't stay any longer and left quickly.

On the way, Toru Amuro sent Dr. Futo's information to his subordinates, who asked them to investigate.

Of course, he emphasized the need to act stealthily.Even if the problem is really found out, Fudo Kyosuke himself should be "accidentally" exposed, and it is important not to let others know that this is a purposeful investigation.

Otherwise, if Jiang Xia said there was something wrong with that person on the front foot, the person on the back foot would be arrested by the police... According to Jiang Xia's keenness, he might find the problem.

……

detective agency.

Jiang Xia was about to lock the door and leave, but at this moment, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the magazine rack in the entrance, and was slightly taken aback.

——On the shelf, there is a familiar book.

Jiang Xia walked over, pulled it out to have a look, and found that it was the detective manual borrowed from the library.

This is what he brought with him when he applied for the job.

Later, he really sneaked into the office, and Jiang Xia also forgot to take the book away.

The borrowing period of Mihua Library is relatively short, and ordinary citizens can only borrow books for 14 days.

Jiang Xia looked at the date and found that it hadn't happened yet.The next time I want to be randomly assigned to these 14 days, I don’t know how long I will have to wait, so why not return it now...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at his watch and found that it was not time to get off work.

So he got on his motorcycle and went straight to the library.

……

Jiang Xia raced all the way to the library.

At this time, there was still more than half an hour before the end of get off work.

But when he got closer, the door was locked.It's already off work.

Jiang Xia was startled, and went to the notice board by the door to look, and found that today was a holiday, and the library closed two hours early.

"..."

Jiang Xia held the book waiting to be returned in her hand, looking at the darkness inside the door, a little disappointed.

He was about to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, Xiao Bai suddenly became energetic, raised his hand to poke Jiang Xia, and murmured to report.

—There is something in the library.

Not only has a murderous look, but also seems to have a newly dead shikigami.

Jiang Xia: "!"

……

This library does not have anti-theft windows installed.

Jiang Xia circled the library half a circle, and found a locked window in a remote corner of the building.

He stopped by the window and raised his hand.

A few pieces of shikigami flew out lightly, passed through the window, landed on the floor of the library, and gradually condensed into white puppets like Nendoroids.

The puppet climbed onto the window awkwardly, stretched out its short hand, and unscrewed the locked window with a click.

Jiang Xia put on her gloves, opened the window with a clatter, and jumped into the hall.

The moment he landed, the puppet collapsed into a paper shikigami again, disappearing into the tattoo on his heart.

Chapter 32 Why the elevator is overweight

The library at night is pitch black and there is no sound of people.

Jiang Xia routinely borrowed the ghost baby's night vision ability.

After seeing the environment clearly, he identified the direction and walked straight to the elevator.

……

In Jiang Xia's memory, there was only one case that happened in the library.

——The curator sells drugs and was discovered by one of his employees.The curator then killed the employee and hid the body on top of the elevator.

Originally, the body was well hidden.

Unexpectedly, this afternoon, Conan happened to come to the library to do homework with a few of his classmates.

Although Conan didn't know where the corpse was, he was keenly aware of the breath of the corpse.
