Conan's Corpse Picker

—Chopsticks.There must be body parts hidden in the tree.

...The method of dismembering a dead body and hanging it on a tree is really cruel. It's not just a crime, it's a psychopath.According to experience, it is very difficult for this kind of perverted murderer to stop with just one case. It seems that they have been involved in a major case.

Hui Yuanai's expression became serious, a small face full of seriousness.His eyes followed Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia squatted down, as if she wanted to put the "broken corpse" on the ground.

As the height lowered, Hui Yuanai regained his firmness with slightly evasive eyes, and landed on his hand.At the same time, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, ready to see a terrible scene.

However, upon closer inspection, Jiang Xia's hands were not bloody bones or chunks of meat, but a fluffy mass.

"...?"

What was expected collided with reality.Hui Yuanai was momentarily stunned.

……cat?

as if dead...

She blinked slowly.After a while, Nana let go of her hand.

Although a dead cat is cruel to a child.But Ayumi is a person who has seen many corpses after all, she is different from ordinary children...

Speaking of which, this cat...

Hui Yuanai walked to Jiang Xia, squatted down, and looked at the cat on the ground.

The cat's fur was blown by the passing wind, revealing a section of the nameplate hanging around its neck.Engraved with the owner's name and contact information.

Hui Yuanai stretched out his hand, gently straightened the nameplate, and saw the words on it clearly: "Masuo..."

This surname is not common.

She recalled for a moment, and quickly remembered the previous case in the bank.They had seen this cat before... No wonder Jiang Xia might have recognized it after staying in the tree for so long just now.

Huiyuan sighed, and there was a hint of anger hidden in his calm voice: "It's too cruel."

Seeing the blood on the cat's face, the Detective Boys were also very angry: "Who did it? We need to find him!"

The cat nestled in Wutiangou's arms, followed by "meow!", flicked its tail, and seemed to be agreeing with satisfaction.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He glanced at the cat speechlessly.

The communication between ghosts is actually more like telepathy, and they usually can only make monosyllabic sounds.

And this cat ghost is very convenient, it meows during life, and can continue to meow after death...

Just as he was thinking, a small voice suddenly came from beside him.

——After the three children got angry, they seemed to think of something, and whispered together:

"Could it be that person?"

"I think so too! With that outfit, he looks like a bad guy."

"But, the teacher said that you shouldn't judge people by their appearance..."

A fourth voice suddenly interjected: "Who is 'that person'?"

Three children: "!!!"

Jiang Xia somehow got involved in their conversation.

Beside, Conan and Haibara also pricked up their ears, listening carefully.

"..." The three children instinctively shrank away from Jiang Xia.But after thinking about it, although neither Conan nor Xiao Ai was sure that "Jiang Xia doesn't beat children", they both said "Jiang Xia doesn't beat good children"... Now, the three of them should be very good.

After a moment of silence, Ayumi Yoshida whispered, obediently acting as an information provider:

"It was a man with a tight mask. We saw it when we were catching fish. We couldn't see it clearly through the bushes. We only remembered that man was wearing a hood, a big mask and scary sunglasses. We were a little scared , after accidentally looking at him, I quickly turned my head back. When I looked back, that person had already left..."

"There are so many things covering the face, it's really suspicious." Conan carefully stretched out his hand and probed the cat, "But it shouldn't be that person, even if it was, it wasn't at the time when you saw him— — the cat has been dead for some time.”

Hood, sunglasses, plus a mask...

These few key words reminded Jiang Xia of the car he met on the road not long ago when he followed Murderous Qi to find it.

The driver in the car happened to be dressed in the same style.

Judging from the time and the driving direction at that time, the two should be the same person.

Chapter 749 Suspicious Okiya Subaru

Jiang Xia thought of the murderous aura lingering on that driver, the high-end murderous aura smelling of perfume.

"..." In theory, if you want to kill a cat, you shouldn't have that kind of murderous intent.Otherwise, psychics would find a slaughterhouse to stay in, and they would have a better future than black organizations and the like.

Speaking of which, this was somewhat similar to a murder case against humans that he had seen.

In my impression, many murderers can't help but return to the scene of the crime to check after committing the crime.If it was last night or even earlier, a murderer killed a person nearby, and then the murderer was covered tightly just now, and returned to the scene to check and mop up, and during the mop up process, the murderer was witnessed by the brats who caught fish... something It just makes sense.

As for why there was an unlucky dead cat in this matter... Maybe it was when the murderer saw a cat passing by nearby and was glanced at by the cat again, he couldn't help feeling guilty and beat the cat to death .Or she was simply excited or panicked after the murder, so she wanted to relieve the pressure by beating the innocent Lumao...

Just as he was thinking, his neck was suddenly patted.

——Matsuda Jinpei swayed around somewhere, and then floated back to his shoulder.

After catching Jiang Xia's attention, the policeman raised his hand and pointed at a park bench from afar.

Between the bench and where they now stand, there is a row of trimmed shrubs for separation.With the children's height, the line of sight was just blocked, and they couldn't see there.

Jiang Xia could see it, but since there was a constant distance from the bench, he could only see an outline.

However, although he couldn't see the details clearly, he had a ghost to broadcast live.

[There is a wiping-like blood stain near the bench, and a thin layer of soil of the same color as the ground has been sprinkled to cover it.Also, there is a thick branch covered in cat hair hidden in the bushes.Judging from the amount of blood, the puddle of blood on the ground does not seem like a cat can bleed out.Maybe someone killed someone with Ruiqi over there, and then in a panic, picked up a branch and beat the cat... There is no corpse nearby, it should have been moved]

While listening, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glanced at Matsuda Zhenping: "..." These days, even ghosts have detective attributes.

With a calm expression, he didn't let others or other ghosts see his mental activities, and nodded slightly.

Then he took out his phone casually and glanced at it.

Just now, when the suspicious person who was tightly covered just passed him by in the car, Jiang Xia threw a transmitter into the car.

At this time, the location of the signal point has reached the urban area, and it has stopped and will not move.It is not known whether the finder was found and discarded, or the car was stopped.

...But anyway, it should be difficult to notice the slight abnormality on the roof until the owner gets out of the car.So until the car owner stops for the first time, the detected route has value.

Jiang Xia saved the route of the red dot movement.

Then he remembered something, and he clicked on the inbox to check, and found that it was empty——as "Uzo", he sent a mission to his new subordinate, Subaru Okiya, and he still hasn't received a reply from him.

Jiang Xia: "..." The arc was quite long, and it became more and more suspicious.

However, on second thought, if the core of the current "Okiya Subaru" is really Shuichi Akai, then maybe this situation will not happen.After all, as the "silver bullet" certified by the organization, Akai Shuichi has always wanted to destroy the organization.And this kind of capable person will definitely not resist the contact from the new boss, and will reply within the normal time.

"..." So now, I have been arced for so long, maybe because "Okiya Subaru" really doesn't have time to look at his phone, he may be doing other tasks, or busy with other things-most of the peripheral members have " Organization member", and Okiya Subaru is a graduate student of engineering.Postgraduate study in island countries is not considered the mainstream, and there are not many graduate students. It is hard to catch a strong man of the gender, and the tutor will not let it go. It is easy to disappear when you are busy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia fell into deep thought: I don’t know why in the original world line, Akai Hideo’s version of “Okiya Subaru” is so idle, every day stewing potatoes next to Dr. Ali’s house... Maybe this guy just got the identity of Okiya Subaru , so he secretly expelled the graduate student, anyway, he really didn't look like a good student who obeyed the rules.

Jiang Xia Weidai speculated curiously about the composition of the new subordinate, and put the phone away again.

He lowered his head, looked at the cat in Wutiangou's arms, and then at the cat's corpse on the ground. He didn't quite know what the cat's last wish was... But since it can become a ghost, it shows that it has a certain ability to think.Why don't you cheat...serve them the way you treat normal ghosts first.

Jiang Xia: "I still don't know where the person who beat the cat is. Since the suspect has just arrived, he may not come again in a short time. Since there is a nameplate, go and return the cat's body to its owner first." .”

...After the cat's body is dealt with, follow the clues of the transmitter and find an excuse to see the suspicious face-covering person.

If it was really the murderer who beat the cat to silence the murder, he would solve the case and throw him in prison... In this way, the cat should be almost abducted home.

The children have no objection to this approach.

Conan also nodded.Although he always likes to think too much, but at present, he only saw a cat with fibers in its paws. Conan has not fast-forwarded to the point where "the cat witnessed a murder and was killed by the murderer". , I think someone abused the cat.

Jiang Xia called the phone number displayed on the nameplate on the cat's neck.

But no one picked up.

"The address seems to be written here." Yoshida Ayumi squatted next to the cat's body, and carefully pointed to the nameplate. It was indeed engraved with a string of address information in sesame-sized characters.

Jiang Xia took a closer look and found that this family was not too far from the driver's route sent back by the transmitter.

He pondered for a moment: "If you're idle, you're idle. Why don't you send it to her... There's a gift shop over there. I'll find a box of about the same size."

……

He came back soon with a box.

Although it is a gift box, Jiang Xia deliberately chose a darker color, which looks like a small coffin, and gives preferential treatment to the available labor who has not yet signed.

It's a pity that cats don't seem to understand human funeral culture.After seeing the box, it didn't show relief like other ghosts who were about to be abducted. Instead, it was very interested and wanted to poke its head inside and snatch the box from its own body.

"..." Wu Tiangou held down the cat that jumped out suddenly, carefully caught it back, and silently prayed that the master could trick the new ghost as soon as possible.After signing the contract, even if the cat runs around, you can recall the tattoo space with one click, so you don't have to worry about losing the cat like now...

Chapter 750 The Right Way to Encounter

A group of people quickly rushed back to the urban area, searched for the address engraved on the cat card, and found "Masuo"'s home.

But no one at home, it seems to go out.

Jiang Xia put the cat box next to the mailbox.After thinking about it, he left a business card for the owner to contact him.Lest Masuo think that this is a warning left by some psycho killers like "your cat is dead, you are next".

... In addition, I can take this opportunity to develop some clients. Maybe the original owner of the cat will introduce some serial murder cases to him.

……

On the way here, Jiang Xia asked the children to take the tram and came back by himself on a motorcycle.

Taking this opportunity to be alone, he successfully reached an agreement with the smart cat that was newly delivered to his door, agreeing to sign the contract when he catches the real murderer.

During the communication, the cat looked at his ghost mint pocket, nodded repeatedly, and was very active, which made Jiang Xia faintly feel that he was thinking too much... Maybe he just took out the ghost mint and lit one, needless to say, this one The cat ran right after him...

However, finding the real culprit was easy.After all, the real murderer often has a ghost or murderous aura on him.

So after fooling around with the newly caught cat, Jiang Xia didn't give up looking for someone because it was easy to deceive. He carefully compared the map of the city and the location of the transmitter attached to the car, and recorded the route in his mind. middle.

After delivering the cat corpse, Jiang Xia remembered those road sections and looked at his watch:

"By the way, the boss asked me to go to the sculpture shop to pick up a finished product for him. I'll go there first, and then start to investigate the suspicious person. It shouldn't take too long."

The eyes of the three children from the Boy Detective Team lit up: "Okay! Let's go then."
