Conan's Corpse Picker

While thinking, Jiang Xia lowered her head and glanced at the children leading the way. The more she looked at them, the more she felt that they looked like three cute money-giving boys.His eyes became peaceful again.

……

When she reached the park gate, Ayumi raised her hand and pointed to the center of the park from a distance.

There's an overgrown landscape tree: "That's where it smells, under that tree—we've spread tablecloths there before."

Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko hurriedly followed her words to pave the way: "But the smell is very light, and it may be the smell of garbage left by other tourists..."

The smell is very faint... Conan thought about it—according to his understanding of these three curious children, after they noticed an abnormal smell, they would definitely look for it nearby.But so far, apart from the so-called "very faint corpse smell" under the tree, they have not found a stronger smell in other places.If there is a source of the smell, it must be near that tree.

but……

Conan raised his head and looked around the tree carefully.

It was found that the terrain was flat, there was no cover for hiding, and the land was a whole without any signs of being turned over.Although there are more branches on the tree, but in the current season, the branches and leaves on it are sparse, and it is impossible to hide the corpse at a glance.

"..." After Conan's simple observation, his interest in this matter dropped slightly.

——Maybe it's just someone who doesn't speak public morals, came to BBQ nearby, and then left some raw meat used as ingredients nearby.

Thinking of how he felt that there was really a corpse hidden in the park just based on the children’s words just now, Conan sighed faintly: The children are always surprised, and my thinking was also led astray by them .

Thinking about it carefully, how could there be so many murders here-they just met one.

In Conan's impression, unless it was a serial murder case, he rarely encountered two murder cases a day.

……Um?No, wait.

"Very little" doesn't mean "never".

Speaking of which, in his past life, Conan remembers that he really encountered the situation of "encountering more than one incident in a row in a day".

And those few times, counting carefully... every time Jiang Xia was present.

Chapter 747

Conan: "..." Why did Jiang Xia's event physique suddenly become so strong?In my impression, there were not many murders around him before.

After thinking for a moment, an idea suddenly popped up in Conan's mind - he remembered what the elderly people like to say, "People who have experienced a near-death state will open the door to 'that world' and be entangled by wraiths " and the like.

The hairs on his back instinctively stood up one by one.But soon, Conan knocked himself on the head speechlessly.

...What do you think, believe in science.

And even if there is a ghost... Jiang Xia's near-death happened more than a year ago, but he suddenly became involved in a case, after Kudo Shinichi was tragically brought down by the black organization a while ago.

Thinking of this incident, Conan's thoughts just got back on track, and he couldn't help turning his head, thinking of those nonsense reports about "Kudo Shinichi died unexpectedly, and the soul of the deceased was unwilling to possess a classmate" when Jiang Xia first became famous.

"..." So, superstition really isn't a thing.Isn't Kudo Shinichi still alive and well?

Conan lowered his head, looked at himself to suppress his shock, and at the same time subconsciously looked at Jiang Xia.

Then he was slightly taken aback, and found that Jiang Xia looked a little strange, as if he was surprised by something.

"?" Conan was a little puzzled, and looked around carefully again.

At this point, they were already close to the tree.

Conan sniffed and sniffed.Being so close, there is indeed a faint smell of approaching the corpse, but it is very light, and it comes and goes, a bit like an illusion.

"..." In the current weather, whether it's meat or corpses, it won't rot too quickly, and the smell is normal.Speaking of which, where is the smelling thing?

……

Jiang Xia raised her head and looked at the tree above her.

Hui Yuanai noticed his movements, followed Jiang Xia's line of sight, and looked up.

There are many branches above the head, occasionally a few scattered dead leaves hang, and there is nothing resembling a "corpse".Hui Yuanai also sniffed, but maybe because the wind is a little stronger than before, she didn't smell anything.

I was watching seriously when suddenly the branches shook violently.

Hui Yuanai was stunned for a moment, then moved his gaze to the side, and found that Jiang Xia suddenly raised his hand to grab the tree trunk growing above him while there was no one else around.

After trying to shake it, she found that it was still strong, so Jiang Xia turned over and stepped on the strong tree trunk with a little force.Then climbed up a little bit again.

Soon he stopped, his eyes fell to a clump of branches, and his eyes paused slightly.

A lighter color appeared in front of my eyes.

— There was a cat lying there.

The cat's body did not fluctuate, and it was no longer breathing. It was probably dead.

And judging from the words on the collar and the color of its coat, it seems that this is still a familiar cat...not the kind of "cooked" that has been boiled, but it seems to have been seen somewhere before.

Just as he was thinking, something moved between the cat's chin and the rough tree trunk.

It passed from the corner of the eye, and Jiang Xia immediately noticed the clue.

He found thin gloves in his pocket, put them on, and carefully lifted the cat a little.

The translucent thing shrank sharply suddenly, and then came out from the side far away from Jiang Xia and jumped off the tree trunk.

The mermaid happened to be floating over there to watch, and when she found something falling, she instinctively jumped on it and held it in her hand.

Looking at it curiously, after seeing it clearly, the corner of the mermaid's eyes twitched, and she threw it aside in disgust.

Wu Tiangou caught it as if catching a pass, and also carried it, looking at it curiously.

Soon, remembering that the master of the psychic seemed to be very interested in this ghostly aura, Wu Tiangou patted his wings and flew closer to Jiang Xia.

……

Jiang Xia quickly saw this strange new ghost.

Judging from the nature of the feeling...it really looks like a ghost.

A normal ghost fetus is usually as big as two palms put together.Xiaobai is smaller than other ghosts.

However, the ghost this time was even smaller than Xiaobai, and seemed to be the size of a coin.And looking at the appearance, it turned out to be a cat.

Jiang Xia: "...?"

Animals can also become ghosts?

...It was the first time he saw him.

The new cat ghost was very energetic. After being caught, he was stunned for a moment, and then began to struggle bravely.

Wutiangou was suddenly jumped on his back by it and scratched. He turned a few times in the air in a bit of embarrassment. After the cat was stunned, he grabbed it again and stretched his hand away to keep the dangerous cat away from his wings. .

After that, Wu Tiangou sighed while holding the cat, and looked at Jiang Xia eagerly, hoping that Jiang Xia would take the cat over soon.

Jiang Xia observed for a moment, and stretched out his hand to Wu Tiangou, relying on the cover of the branches below.

The scratching of ghosts on people is actually not very harmful.If the psychic is not very sensitive in this aspect, an ordinary person may not feel anything at all-in the past, when a mermaid was as big as a mermaid, biting him was only a little itchy at most, but now this cat is no big deal. hinder.

Prepared to be scratched, Jiang Xia stretched out her hand.

However, as his hand approached, the cat froze for a moment, retracted its paws, and looked up at him.It is completely different from the attitude when facing the mermaid and Wutiangu just now.

After a while, it seemed to smell something like "boss smell" or "meal ticket smell", and it calmed down in a timely manner, and when Jiang Xia's hand approached it, he stretched out his head and rubbed it flatteringly.

Jiang Xia: "..."

This familiar dog-leg feeling...it really is the Siamese of President Masuo's house.

——In my impression, a while ago, President Masuo and his accomplices cooperated with each other and robbed his own branch.

Mrs. Masuo, who was nearly 20 years younger than President Masuo, found out that something was wrong, and was about to go to the bank to identify her husband, but was silenced by President Masuo ahead of time.Her cat is an eccentric Siamese.

The Masuo family has no children.After the case happened, Mrs. Masuo died and President Masuo was imprisoned. No one had the conditions to keep a cat.At that time, this Siamese didn't know if it smelled the smell of loneliness. When Huiyuan Ai suggested to Jiang Xia, "If you like cats, you might as well try to adopt them", it started to show cuteness to Jiang Xia in a very doggy manner, and its expression was very similar to now.

But at that time, Jiang Xia didn't raise him.The cat then punched his leg, meowed angrily, and left.

Later, the cat was adopted by President Masuo's niece... and later, for some reason, it unfortunately died in this park.

"..." I thought it was quite human before, maybe because IQ is too high, so there is a chance to become a ghost?

Jiang Xia stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the cat's head.

However, the cat ghost is too small.He ended up poking the whole thing regretfully.

Chapter 748 The Cat Vest Arrived Although Late

Now, there are a group of children watching under the tree, and it is inconvenient to communicate with the cat.And I don't know if this cat can communicate, after all, it's just a cat...

Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, and asked Wu Tiangou to hold on to this rare cat ghost to prevent it from acting cute on the surface and secretly planning to escape.I'm going to wait until I find time later, and then follow the usual practice, coaxing and coaxing to sign.

It is indeed inconvenient for him to raise cats, but it is very convenient for him to raise ghosts.

Although this is the first time I have seen animal ghosts, ghosts that enter the field of vision, let alone cats, even cockroaches, have to be caught and raised.

The only problem is that the cat ghost is already so small, even if the cockroach really turns into a ghost, I'm afraid it won't be seen at all.But by then, he must have signed the cat, and maybe the cat...

The cat shuddered suddenly and intuitively.

It froze slightly when it rubbed against Jiang Xia, raised its paw suspiciously to catch Jiang Xia's finger, poked its head out from the side of the finger to look at him, and observed the psychic's expression.

However, no problem could be seen.

The cat was a little puzzled, and stayed in a daze for a while, then decided to mix up the meal ticket first, and continue to meow and act cute.

Jiang Xia has already looked away from it, looking at the cat's body on the tree.

……

Maybe it was because he stayed on the tree for a long time, the children below had already started to wonder, but three of them didn't dare to ask, and one was afraid of disturbing Jiang Xia's thinking.

In the end, Conan couldn't hold back, and shouted to the tree: "What's wrong? What did you find?"...and decided that if Jiang Xia didn't speak, he would climb up to see it himself.

Jiang Xia looked down at the cat's corpse.The body was rigid and had been dead for some time.It had blood from its nose and mouth, and its internal organs had ruptured.The cat's paws were still stained with a little pink and yellow clothing fibers.It looked like after being beaten by someone, he climbed up a tree to hide, but in the end he couldn't make it through. Unfortunately, the dog took it... ah no, meow took it.

... What a miserable cat.

Without further delay, Jiang Xia picked up the dead cat and returned to the tree.

Hui Yuanai raised his head, saw a branch move, followed by Jiang Xia and jumped down with something.

She was startled, some guesses flashed through her mind, and suddenly her whole body tensed up.The moment Jiang Xia landed, Haibara raised her hand and covered Yoshida Ayumi's eyes.

A series of "reasoning" quickly flashed through Hui Yuanai's mind - it seems that Jiang Xia really found something on the tree.Think about what the children said just now, "there is a dead body nearby", and think about the fact that no one can hide in the tree... Combining various factors, Hui Yuan Ai feels that she has glimpsed the truth.
