Conan's Corpse Picker

Dr. A Li was pleasantly surprised, as if he could smell the sweet aroma of the food: "Xiao Ai, you haven't slept yet."

The fake kid murmured, "I got up late today and couldn't sleep."

Kudo Yusaku glanced at the coffee in her hand: "..." The inability to fall asleep is probably not a problem of getting up late...

Haibara Ai is quite sensitive to sight.

She quickly looked away from Dr. Ali, looked at Yusaku Kudo, and while Yusaku Kudo looked at her cup, she sized him up slightly.

Dr. Ali patted Yusaku Kudo on the shoulder, and introduced to her cheerfully: "It seems that this is the first time you have met—this is Yusaku Kudo, a famous mystery novelist. He is also Shinichi's father."

Haibara Ai poured the coffee cup from his left hand to his right, freed his hand, and shook hands with Yusaku Kudo politely.

Then she glanced at the suitcases of Dr. Ali and Yusaku Kudo, and the doctor's hungry eyes, and sighed: "I'll make you some supper."

...It happened that the lights were on at Jiang Xia's side, so I had an excuse to give him a copy, and remind him to go to bed early.

Hui Yuanai put down the coffee cup, turned and went to the kitchen.

"Haha, I'll trouble you then." Dr. A Li was in a good mood, and at the same time secretly fought for his own welfare, "We have a guest, put more meat!"

……

Dr. A Li put down his luggage happily.

Then, while waiting for supper, I walked around the lab bench.

Just wanted to introduce my new invention to an old friend.

Turning around, Yusaku Kudo was not behind him - he didn't even follow.

Dr. Ali looked around suspiciously: "...?" Where is the person?

...After thinking about it, this is also Yusaku Kudo's old residence, he probably went out to wander around.

Dr. A Li then ignored this old friend.

He quickly turned his attention to his invention, picked up the tools next to him, and started to repair it.

……

At the same time, Dr. Ali is next door.

Jiang Xia's house.

Jiang Xia is pruning potted plants and harvesting the latest ghost mint.

Suddenly, the door was knocked twice.

Xiaobai poked his head out to take a look, and found that the person who came was Yusaku Kudo, who lived in the United States for a long time and rarely showed up.

Jiang Xia was taken aback when he heard its real-time broadcast.

It is not surprising that Yusaku Kudo appeared in Japan at this time.

——At tomorrow's game conference, among the game "Cocoon" to be announced, there is a detective-themed copy.Yuu Kudo as it provided some design ideas.So tomorrow night, he will also give a speech at the game conference.

"..." But the strange thing is, the big Kudou didn't even see his son, why did he suddenly come to him?

Jiang Xia fell into deep thought for a short while: Could it be that Kudo Yukiko got lost again, and the large Kudo has learned from the past, and wants to come directly to him to find someone?

……

Jiang Xia opened the door suspiciously, wondering if she should say "Auntie Youxizi is not with me".

But soon, he discovered that Yusaku Kudo didn't come for this matter.

Uncle Kudo stood at the door in a windbreaker.

Seeing the door open, he naturally handed out what he had in his hand: "I went to Dr. Ali's for a midnight snack, and found that your place was still on, so I came over to have a look—I brought you some desserts, this is Your share. The new donuts are all the rage in New York lately, and I hear kids love them."

While speaking, Kudo Yusaku glanced into the room from the corner of his eye, and all kinds of details came into his eyes instantly.

No trace of other people was found, only a black cat with white paws lying on Jiang Xia's feet.

Seeing the stranger coming to the door, the cat didn't scare away, and looked up calmly, as if looking at him slightly curiously.

The cat was really cute, and looked up at him friendly all the time, looking very petty.

Yusaku Kudo just wanted to create a more relaxed atmosphere, so he bent down and stretched out his hand in a very homely way.

Before it touched the cat's head, the black cloud treading snow cat suddenly lowered its body, slipped through the gap at Kudo Yusaku's feet, and ran outside.

"!" Yusaku Kudo was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, but he couldn't stop it—the cat dodged his hand as nimbly as liquid, slipped out through the crack of the door, jumped into the grass in the yard, and disappeared in the blink of an eye .

Yusaku Kudo who lost his neighbor's cat: "..."

"It's okay, don't chase after it." Jiang Xia showed a considerable degree of friendliness to the big Kudou, "It's not a house cat, but it likes to wander around this area, and every family will go in to have a look - run away if you have a chance Will be back."

"...Is that so." Kudo Yusaku paused and stopped trying to catch the cat.

Seeing Jiang Xia step aside to open the door, she seemed willing to invite him in.

Yusaku Kudo then walked in.

……

The house is quite tidy, and there are no cat fur in some dark places, and there is indeed no trace of long-term cat keeping.

There are only Jiang Xia's own shoes in the hallway, and there are no other potential shoe prints or footprints on the floor. Only one cup on the table is in use, the others are turned upside down, and there is no water stain on it... It seems that Jiang Xia is indeed the only one living alone. Traces, no one has been here recently.

Yusaku Kudo glanced across the room, and quickly looked away.

He put the dessert gift box he brought on the table, took out his phone and looked at it.

No strange signal sources, or monitoring devices were found.

Kudo Yusaku turned to look at Jiang Xia, and asked naturally: "Are you busy with 'work' now? I heard that you rarely go to class."

"It's okay, it's almost the same as before, except that there are more part-time jobs as detectives." Jiang Xia looked at Yusaku Kudo, a little puzzled.He always felt that there was something in the neighbor's uncle's words, as if he was alluding to something.

Chapter 914 I Can Only Help Here

Before Jiang Xia figured out what the large Kudo was thinking.

He heard Yusaku Kudo chatting and saying: "During this time, Shinichi's personality has changed a lot. It's really strange that he still bowed his head to me before... But think about it carefully, you are all just children. When you encounter something that is difficult to persist or you are not sure about, giving up is actually a choice.”

"...Is that so." Jiang Xia followed his words and perfunctory.

Before he understood Kudo Yusaku's hint, he didn't intend to speak rashly.

——Although I don't have much contact with Kudo Yusaku, judging from the situation of Kudo's brain hole, the large Kudo may not show much in this regard.If you talk too much, who knows what they will make up without authorization.

When dealing with the Riddler, you still have to focus on listening. .

……

Unfortunately, although Jiang Xia wanted to hear it, Yusaku Kudo did not continue.

The two sat opposite each other in silence for a while.

After a while, Yusaku Kudo looked at the portrait at the end of the corridor and sighed.Then he stood up, said goodbye and left.

"..." Jiang Xia glanced back at the portrait, looking at his back thoughtfully.

……

Kudo Yusaku returned to the next door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Dr. A Li hastily put on his coat and was walking out.

Seeing Yusaku Kudo, the doctor sighed: "You eat first—there seems to be a bug in that part of the character program, I have to debug it."

"Let me go too. I just live nearby, and I will go directly to the venue tomorrow without worrying about traffic jams." Kudo Yusaku didn't take off his coat at first, so he picked up his luggage by the door and followed.

After the two left.

In the kitchen, Hui Yuanai held a spatula and poked her head out in doubt: "...?"

Are you going?

...the dishes are all cut.

...a fickle grown-up.

She walked to the window and tiptoed to look out the window.It was found that in Jiang Xia's house, the lights were still on and people were still there.

So Hui Yuanai returned to the kitchen with peace of mind.

If there are still people to eat, then she will continue to do it.

……

next door.

Jiang Xia curiously poked the snack box left by Kudo Yusaku, and asked Xiaobai to go in and have a look.Then I found out that there were just ordinary desserts inside, nothing else.

He unwrapped it again, took out a piece and sniffed it from a distance... well, certainly not the deadly bitter almond smell.

However, I don't know if there is something like a tasteless narcotic... If you meet vodka tomorrow, you can ask him to taste a piece.

……

While Jiang Xia was thinking, she recalled Miyano Akemi, who was visiting next door, to the tattoo space.

Then it was released again, allowing her to return to her side with one click.

Jiang Xia and Dr. Ali's house are not far away, and this ghost will sneak to the next door to see his sister when he is free. Just now, Miyano Akemi was also at Haibara's side.

"Did the large Kudo behave strangely?" Jiang Xia asked her, "I saw him go to Dr. Ali's house just now."

Miyano Akemi thought about it carefully, then shook her head: Apart from staring at Xiao Ai's coffee cup for a while, Yusaku Kudo did not have any abnormalities.But he left as soon as he entered the house, both times.

"……"gone?

Jiang Xia went up to the second floor and looked around the courtyard of Dr. Ali's house.

I saw the little Beetle that was parked outside the yard before, and drove away at some point.

Jiang Xia: "..."

... more suspicious.

Kudo Yusaku couldn't have rushed to give him special products in a race against time.

Or, Big Kudou is also like Little Kudou: I heard about the vodka incident tonight from Conan, and then I didn't want to tell Jiang Xia about the situation of the black organization, but I wanted to make sure it was safe, so I made an excuse to come here for a walk?
