Conan's Corpse Picker

As soon as he returned to the main body, sleepiness surged up immediately.

Fortunately, after signing the contract just now, Jiang Xia moved the main body back into the quilt first, and now he can sleep with his eyes closed.

Jiang Xia yawned, thinking that if he suffers from insomnia in the future, he can call out this puppet, carry a heavy object and fly around a few times, and guarantee that he will sleep soundly when he returns.

He conveniently discovered the new function of the puppet, and fell asleep in comfort.

Chapter 76

The next day, Toru Amuro woke up very early.

The bedding was a bit hard, and I was not used to sleeping.

More importantly, yesterday's weird incident still had an impact on him.

—he dreamed of a giant rat hiding in his car and eating his tires.In the dream, Toru Amuro was surprised and captured this weird mutant mouse and sent it to the national research institute, but the research institute discovered a new type of zombie virus in the mouse... Then Toru Amuro beat zombies all night in his dream , and finally woke up suddenly when surrounded by a large number of zombies.

……

At this time, it was just dawn.

Although it was already the time for the monks to wake up, it was still very early for the guests.

Toru Amuro tried to sleep back into the cage, but failed - as soon as he closed his eyes, the bloody mouths of mutated mice and mutated zombies swayed back and forth in front of his eyes, making him sleepless.

In the end, Toru Amuro had no choice but to sit up again with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

He glanced enviously at Jiang Xia, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and stood up, intending to see if the car he called had arrived.

Unexpectedly, when passing by the dining room, I suddenly heard a vague scream.

……

Amuro Toru was taken aback, and quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

On the way, he met two other young monks.

The three came to the door of the confinement room.

Seeing that the senior brother's legs and feet were weak, he fell and sat by the door.

Seeing other people approaching, the elder brother trembled and pointed upwards: "I, I saw that the door of the confinement room was open, so I went in to have a look, and it turned out..."

Amuro walked in the door, looked up, his eyes fixed.

——Above the confinement room, a roof nearly ten meters high.The old abbot was hung from the beams of the house.

His death-defying head drooped weakly, facing the door, and was gently shaken by the wind, like a piece of dried bacon.

……

5 minute later.

Amuro finished calling the police and waited for the police to arrive.

He was worried that the monks in the monastery would stop him from calling the police, or secretly cut the phone line.

However, neither happened.

This reassured Toru Amuro a little - since he was able to contact the outside world smoothly, it meant that this time, it shouldn't be a serial murder case.

——could have been the old monk's suicide, or it could have been just plain murder.

And if it's the latter...

Amuro thought, that means: among the four seemingly simple and honest young monks in the temple, there is a murderer hiding.

……

Therefore, before asking about the situation, Toru Amuro went to the guest room first, planning to wake Jiang Xia up.In case I worked so hard to find out the truth, but the murderer turned around and took his teammates as hostages...

It's really not that Toru Amuro thinks too much - he has experienced this kind of thing too many times, whether he is partnering with the police or with members of the organization.

The difference is that he tried his best to save his colleagues from the police, while his accomplices...

"..." Well, this is probably one of the reasons why few people in the organization are willing to partner with him.

"Jiang Xia." Amuro Toru pushed open the door of the guest room, "Wake up, someone is dead."

After shouting, he planned to go back and reason.

However, after walking two steps, she didn't hear Jiang Xia getting up.

"...?"

Toru Amuro retreated to the door of the guest room.

Seeing that Jiang Xia in the quilt was motionless, she didn't intend to get up at all.

Amuro was taken aback.

Although it's still early, it's already dawn. Most people, when they're in a light sleep, hear someone call their name, coupled with keywords like "dead"...would they sleep so deeply?

What's more, Jiang Xia is not an ordinary person.His alertness should be much higher than normal people.

After a moment of silence, Toru Amuro suddenly had a bad guess.

Could it be, not "sleeping as if dead", but really dead...

Someone could kill someone next to him in the middle of the night without alarming him! ?

Toru Amuro thought of the inexplicably broken tire yesterday, and his heart sank.

He ran a few steps to the side of the bedding, shouted "Jiang Xia!", and pushed the person aside.

I thought I would see a stubble on Jiang Xia's neck that was exactly the same as the tire...but it didn't.

Touch it again and find that the person is warm and has a pulse.

"..." Anshi Toru's eyes twitched twice, a faint vein appeared on his forehead, he grabbed the person and shook him, "Wake up."

After shaking for several seconds, Jiang Xia finally opened his eyes.

An Shitou looked at him, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind - Jiang Xia looked so tired, maybe it was because he did something bad secretly last night, such as hanging the old monk up...

But soon, Toru Amuro vetoed this conjecture.

He is very confident in his level of vigilance. Jiang Xia did go out last night, but he came back not long after. That time is definitely not enough for him to kill and hang people.He has been in the room since then.

——In short, Jiang Xia has no time to commit the crime, let alone a motive.

After reaching this conclusion, Toru Amuro sighed: Why am I always suspicious today...

He let go of his hand, stood up, and said to Jiang Xia: "Go to the hall first, there was a murder case in the temple."

Chapter 77

Jiang Xia responded perfunctorily.

I drove the puppet for too long last night, and it consumed a lot of energy.

However, a psychic is different from a ghost.

The consumption of ghost tires can only be recovered by eating ghost peppermint.However, as a living person, a psychic can use "sleep" and other methods to replenish energy in addition to ghost mint.

Now, Jiang Xia has more and more ghosts to raise, so he thinks: Anyway, he doesn't need to drive on the road, so it's better to recover in a less murderous way first.

--sleep.

Jiang Xia entered the hall, found a corner and sat down, hugged the ghosts on the left and right, and continued to doze off.

The original Wutiangou case was a classic case of gaining prestige because of its complicated operation and the combination of metaphysics and science.

But now, the old monk died suddenly by himself, and Jiang Xia is not going to expose his hanging behavior, so there is really no room for reasoning.

Instead of getting involved and not being able to say anything, it is better to leave the battlefield from the beginning and leave the matter to the police.

No matter how bad it is, isn't there a detective next to him?

——Boss, come on!

……

This temple is also within the scope of Tokyo, and it is still the Megure Police Department.

The Mumu Police Department strode into the house, and when they saw Jiang Xia in the corner of the hall, they paused: ...I didn't expect to meet brother Jiang Xia in such a remote area that was almost out of Tokyo. It seems that this case is another It's a murder.

The Mumu Police Department arranged for his men to investigate the scene, and came to find Jiang Xia by himself.

Seeing that Jiang Xia seemed to be sleepy, the Mumu Police Department casually made a joke, trying to cheer him up: "It seems that the temple can't hold back Brother Kudo's wronged soul—why you find a shrine to exorcise evil spirits?"

However, before Jiang Xia could speak, someone suddenly said: "There are no wronged souls in the world, and the police shouldn't believe in such things. Even if there are, it's because your efficiency in solving crimes is too low to bring the murderer to justice—" If you have time to find temples and shrines, why not improve your investigative skills.”

Looking at the police department in a daze, he suddenly had a sense of being criticized by his boss.

He turned around and saw a young man with a serious face.

The man had blond hair, dark skin, facial features and hair color that looked like a foreigner.

Although the other party was younger than him, the Mumu Police Department felt inexplicably suppressed by the aura, and he hesitated: "You are..."

Jiang Xia rubbed his eyes, and briefly introduced: "It's the boss of the detective agency I work for."

As he spoke, he glanced at Toru Amuro.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the boss's reaction is a bit extreme-the speech of "no wronged souls" seems to be not only said to the Mumu Police Department, but also has something in it.

Jiang Xia looked at his ghosts with a guilty conscience, hesitated for a moment, and ordered them to walk around Toru Amuro.

A few ghosts lined up and floated obediently, even hitting their faces.

Amuro Toru never looked sideways, completely unaware of the existence of ghosts.

Jiang Xia was immediately relieved.

Thinking about it, how could Amuro Toru, such a scientific red boss, think that there will be wronged souls in the world.

……

The police quickly found the young monks for questioning.

Jiang Xia glanced at it, and closed her eyes not too concerned.

He wasn't worried that Xiu Nian would expose the existence of "Wu Tiangou" - no one would believe it, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to find Wu Tiangou.
