Conan's Corpse Picker

……

Jiang Xia briefly recalled the cause and effect, but was not very interested in these.

His attention was quickly placed on the new ghost fetus.

The rooms are large and all are covered with tatami mats.

Jiang Xia dragged the bedding a little closer to the door, and lay down.

After the young monks had almost fallen asleep and Toru Amuro next to him stopped making any movement.

He was about to let a few pieces of shikigami fly into the corridor through the crack of the door to form puppets.

But before that, Jiang Xia suddenly felt something approaching outside the door.

This breath...is that new ghost fetus found?

"..." So active?

After a moment of doubt, Jiang Xia withdrew the shikigami.Pretend to go to the bathroom, get up and go into the hallway.

He closed the door behind his back, and when he lowered his head, he saw the new ghost running all the way along the corridor.

It looked quite anxious, as if it wanted to ask someone for help.

Jiang Xia looked around and found no one.

So he squatted down decisively, picked up the new ghost tire, and took it to a place where no one was around.

……

The new ghost obviously wants something from others.

It could be seen that when facing Jiang Xia, it was still flustered, but it no longer avoided him like it did during dinner.

As they got closer, Jiang Xia noticed that the extra bumps on the back of the new ghost tire were shaped like a pair of wings.

It took the ghost to the empty bathroom, and politely endured it for two seconds, but in the end it couldn't hold back, so it stretched out its hand under the trembling gaze of the new ghost, and pinched its wingtips.

With a little force, the wings were stretched by Jiang Xia.The new ghost jumped up in panic.

Jiang Xia let go of her hand.

The new ghost swished and hid behind the hand sanitizer, poignantly folded its wings and smoothed out the pinched feathers.

Jiang Xia watched from the side, feeling very magical.

The appearance of the ghost fetus is actually the product of the Q version of the real person.

But when this monk ghost died, it must have been in a normal human form, not with wings on its back—otherwise, the Wutiangou murder incident two years ago would not have been so well-known.

……

Many rules in this world are different from what Jiang Xia knew before.

He could only guess based on those messy theories that the sudden mutation of this new ghost was related to the legend of the Wutian dog killing people.

——That legend was widely popular in this area. It may be that these chanting influenced the form of the monk ghost.

I don't know if the wings are just a decoration, or they can really fly...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia tentatively poked the ghost in front of him, trying to make it fly.

The monk ghost instinctively dodged to the side.

But soon, it remembered that it had something to ask the psychic in front of it for help, so it stood stiffly in place, letting Jiang Xia poke around.

"..." Because the ghost was too calm, Jiang Xia couldn't detect it.

Chapter 74 It Has Nothing To Do With Me

But in short, whether you can fly or not.A mature psychic will never let go of a ghost at hand.

And this is the first adult male ghost that Jiang Xia met, and he will go out to rob houses in the future... Ah no, go to be a hero, so you don't have to put on the shell of children and Akemi Miyano every day.

"..." It's just that the pair of wings are a bit difficult to deal with.

When the puppet is generated, I don't know what it will look like.

……

Seeing that Jiang Xia was distracted, the monk couldn't help leaning half of his body out from behind the hand sanitizer, raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes.

Jiang Xia recovered and looked at it.

He knew what the ghost wanted to do.

——The youngest monk here, Xiu Nian, is actually the younger brother of this ghost.

Xiu Nian originally practiced in other monasteries.

After Zhongnian died, he didn't believe that his brother would commit suicide.So half a year ago, Xiu Nian went to this temple incognito, wanting to find out the truth.

For half a year, Xiu Nian worked hard to investigate, and finally got an idea of ​​the criminal method, but she couldn't find out who the murderer was.

However, tonight, the behavior of the old monk leaving in a huff was really abnormal.

Xiu Nian felt something was wrong, and planned to ask Master late at night.

The ghost has been following the old host.I saw my younger brother coming suddenly just now, and it didn't feel good—the old abbot was drunk tonight, and according to his habit of bragging after drinking, he might accidentally reveal the truth, causing his younger brother to kill impulsively.

The ghost then rushed to Jiang Xia's place, trying to ask for help.

Jiang Xia took away the bottle between a person and a ghost, stroked its head kindly, and tugged at its wings: "Come and sign a contract with me, I can help you."

……

The night is already very deep.

The old abbot lit a candlestick with style, poured himself a drink, and got drunk.

On the opposite side of the small table, Xiu Nian, who had successfully figured out the truth, was staring at him angrily.

Xiu Nian's mood at this time was very complicated.Anger, sadness, heartache, and a little bit of regret—if Master had asked such a question earlier when he was drunk, he wouldn't have had to investigate for half a year...

He didn't know what to say for a moment, and after a while he squeezed out a sentence:

"Please surrender yourself."

The old monk didn't know that Xiu Nian was the younger brother of the deceased, he held the wine cup and laughed loudly:

"There is no evidence, why did I send myself in. And since that incident, we have become a 'temple with foggy tengus', and we have become famous! It's a pity that it has declined a bit recently. If we can do it again ..."

When the old monk said this, he shook his head regretfully, and stretched out his hand to the jug.

Xiu Nian glared at him, and stretched out her hand to a piece of rope beside her.

He was about to rush forward and strangle the old host's neck.

But before they could make a move, the two were taken aback at the same time.

-

——There was a strange sound of "crash" in the courtyard.

Xiu Nian and the old host suddenly raised their heads, followed the sound to look at the door leading to the courtyard.Under the illumination of the courtyard lamp, a few broken shadows were projected on the door.

Outside the door, pieces of paper fluttered in a mess, and gradually gathered together, piling up into a tall figure, standing silently outside the door.

Just as a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, the figure was reflected more clearly.

The old monk stared at the shadow on the paper door, and Jiu Jin was half scared away—from the silhouette, that "person" actually had a pair of huge wings on his back!

...is this really a human? !

In the next second, a hand was inserted into the gap between the doors, and the door was slowly pushed open from the outside.

The strong wind rushed in, and the candlestick on the small table flickered.At this time, another bolt of lightning fell, and the dark wings behind the man outside the house suddenly spread, blocking the way to the courtyard like covering the sky and the sun.

The uninvited guest lowered his head, looked at the terrified old monk, and said softly: "It's actually very simple to get the income back to the peak—as long as there is one more victim of the 'foggy dog'."

In the erratic candlelight, the old monk vaguely saw the eyes of the "foggy dog" at the door.

The outline of those eyes resembled that of his apprentice.

——The apprentice who was hanged by him two years ago and planted on the "Mist Tiangou".

The moment the eyes crossed, the voice of "Wutiangou" was suddenly full of malice. It smiled coldly, and then said: "About the quota of the lucky victim... I think you are very suitable."

The old monk let out a breath of cold air to the top of his head.

He clutched his heart and froze for two or three seconds, then suddenly fell down without saying a word.

Jiang Xia: "...?"

This person fell too fast, could it be that he was pretending to be dead?He still has a complete set of lines and actions that haven't come out...

Xiu Nian next to him looked at Wu Tiangou and was also stunned.

It took him a few seconds to come back to his senses, grabbed the extinguished lampstand, and held it in front of him like a weapon, and asked tremblingly:

"Two years ago, you killed Zhong Nian?!"

Thinking about it carefully, this Wutian dog looks very similar to his brother.Although he is much handsomer than his brother, he still has hair.But I can still see some shadows, could it be...Could it be that Brother Zhong Nian was actually eaten by Wu Tiangou? !

Xiu Nian: "..." No, it seems wrong, just now the old monk clearly admitted that Zhong Nian was killed by him.Zhongnian's body was not lost either.

And two years ago, in the confinement room where Zhong Nian died, there was a big hole in the wall.

From the perspective of the murder method, it was washed away by the current.

And if it is explained in theology, it was knocked out by the Wutian dog.

But at present, it seems that the Wutiangou in front of him does not seem to have the habit of bumping into things. The paper partition is much easier to hit than the walls of the confinement room, but just now, Wutiangou still pushed the door in, unlike the legend. so savage...

I don't know that Wu Tiangou's IQ has evolved, and he knows that it is easier to walk through the door.

Or this is a relatively unique fog dog, regardless of tradition, good at being lazy.

Speaking of which... Xiu Nian suddenly thought: Wu Tiangou suddenly appeared here, is it because he was dissatisfied with the old monk who used its name to kill people, so he came to him?

Thinking of this, Xiu Nian subconsciously looked at the old monk who fell on the ground.

Under Wu Tiangou's gaze, the old monk's face turned pale, his chest stopped rising and falling, and he gradually lost his breath.

"!" Xiu Nian was shocked.
