Conan's Corpse Picker

Moreover, the puppet followed the appearance of Jiang Xia's soul, not this body.That is to say, even if Xiu Nian saw the puppet's face clearly, he still couldn't connect Wu Tiangou with him.

……

Fortunately, it turned out that Xiu Nian was quite calm, and when questioned by the police officer, she didn't reveal any flaws.

With few leads, the police investigation stalled.

Amuro Toru heard about the old case two years ago from the monk, and he vaguely guessed the method used by the murderer in the "Mist Tengu Murder" case.

But today's case, whether it is the cause of death or the situation at the scene, is very different from two years ago, so it cannot be applied.

The Mumu Police Department looked at Jiang Xia in distress, and found that the new brother was lying on the table to catch up on sleep, and he didn't have the slightest intention of getting up to reason. The boss of the new brother also remained silent.

The Mumu Police Department could only sigh, thinking that this case might not be a murder case at all, so it didn't match the business scope of Jiang Xia and his boss.

……

However, when the police planned to close the team, things suddenly took a strange development.

Residents who live at the foot of the mountain sent two photos.

——When they were driving home last night, they passed by here and accidentally saw a strangely shaped bird in the sky, so they took a photo.

After sorting out the photo papers this morning, they discovered that the "strange bird" looked like a man with wings, and that man seemed to be holding another person in his hand.

Because of the dark sky and the distance, the photo is very blurry.

But it is precisely because of this that people are given enough room for imagination.

……

The police officers looked at the blurred human figure in the photo, and suddenly remembered the strange wing prints they observed on the beam on the top of the confinement room during the investigation just now.

Combined with the terrifying legend of "foggy dog" nearby, several timid police officers have begun to worship Buddha secretly.

Then they were reprimanded by the Mumu Police Department, using what Toru Amuro said to him just now: There are no wronged souls in the world, and by analogy, there are no Wutiangu.

……

In the end, the Mumu Police Department could not figure out what happened to the case, so they had to close the team temporarily.

When the police left, the car called by Amuro Toru also arrived.

Jiang Xia followed him into the new car.

Taking a closer look, a new tire was placed in the trunk and back seat of the car.Jiang Xia was even behind and saw a few mousetraps.

He carefully memorized the position of the mousetrap, then turned around and continued to doze off with the ghost in his arms, while the vehicle continued on its way to Izu.

Although Toru Amuro regrets not being able to solve the case, he still has tasks to do.

And at present, the case lacks clues, so it is useless for him to stay.

In addition, the more you stay in that temple, the more something is wrong, people don't want to stay for a long time... The magnetic field must be a problem with the magnetic field.

…………

When he arrived at the place, Jiang Xia was awakened by Amuro Toki again.

Although the temporary boss didn't say it clearly, Jiang Xia always felt that his face was full of "have you been possessed by something", "should I really go to a shrine", "you can't go on like this". Class lines.

But in the end, Toru Amuro stuck to his materialist stance without saying a word.

……

There are many high-end hotels on the seaside of Izu.

But Toru Amuro didn't choose those stores, but chose a homestay near the pottery classroom and stayed on the highest floor.

From here, with a telescope, you can barely see a corner of the courtyard of the potters.

——The target pottery classroom is a model of a store in front and a home in the back. The store is connected to the yard of Kikuemon.

After Amuro entered the hotel room, he drew the curtains, set up the binoculars, and observed secretly for a while, but found nothing wrong.

So he decided to wait until after dark, go in and investigate, and get a general idea of ​​the situation.

The next day, I used the experience coupon to sneak into the pottery classroom, and inquired about the news more targetedly.

……

Unlike Toru Amuro, Jiang Xia doesn't have much enthusiasm for work.

He knew that the "eavesdropping pottery" that Toru Amuro wanted to investigate was actually an oolong—it was just a practice prop for a reserve murderer, not someone targeting the organization.

Even if it targets the organization, it has nothing to do with Jiang Xia, after all, he is just an innocent peripheral member...

Jiang Xia originally planned to continue to catch up on sleep.

But just as he lay down, there was a knock on the door.

——Tosser Amuro gave him a book, "Introduction to Ceramic Art", and I don't know when and where I got it.

"They open pottery classrooms, and they also have the intention of selecting pottery successors-if you show more talent, maybe you will have more opportunities to get in touch."

After Amuro finished speaking, he went back to follow up.

In the room, Jiang Xia held the book in silence for a moment, thinking that Toru Amuro is really a talent who increases the workload of employees.

But, fortunately, although Jiang Xia has never played pottery, she made a lot of things before.

——In those days when there were no ghosts, only shikigami, if you want to pile up a puppet that looks a little like a human, you have to do it yourself.Jiang Xia grasped the skills in this area by pinching and pinching.

Although there are many differences between clay and puppet materials in terms of feel and other aspects, the core is definitely not much different.

Jiang Xia thoughtfully flipped through the "Introduction to Ceramic Art", threw the book aside, locked the door and continued to catch up on sleep.

Chapter 78 Sudden Encounter

Jiang Xia had lunch at Shanni Temple.

When it was time for dinner, he woke up on time in the homestay.

Not long after, Toru Amuro put away the binoculars and ended his preliminary investigation.

When he came to Jiang Xia's room, he found that Jiang Xia was holding the "Introduction to Ceramic Art" in his hand-judging from the opened pages, Jiang Xia had already read more than half of it.

Toru Amuro couldn't help but nodded secretly: he is very hardworking and has a strong learning ability. This young man is very promising...

……

The homestay where the two stayed is also a catering business.

Dinner time, when going down the stairs to the hall.

Jiang Xia glanced around, and saw three familiar faces in the restaurant of the hotel.

——A mushroom head dyed brown with a headband, a black long straight with a slight bulge on the top of the head, and an off-style hairstyle with a few dull hairs on the back of the head.

Suzuki Sonoko, Mori Ran, and Conan.

Jiang Xia paused, and her first reaction was: there is going to be a murder.

Immediately afterwards, I suddenly felt that something was wrong—last time, these students seemed to agree, and they would definitely call him when they came out to play...

Jiang Xia: "..."

……

Due to the different orientations of the seats of the protagonists, and one of them has his own "handsome guy capture radar".

The first person to see Jiang Xia was Suzuki Sonoko.

Looking at each other, with keen intuition, Suzuki Sonoko instantly read the hesitation and a little bit of condemnation in Jiang Xia's eyes.

Suzuki Sonoko thumped in his heart.

She sat up straight, and greeted Jiang Xia with a guilty conscience: "Okay, what a coincidence, hahaha!"

……

Suzuki Sonoko didn't look for Jiang Xia when he was traveling to relax, not because he was frightened by the murder case.

But this time, she has other priorities.

——She wanted to verify a certain conjecture of her own, and see if it was her appearance and temperament that caused the sad result of "no handsome guy approached her", or because the place where she lived in the past was too high-end and stopped a large number of Civilian handsome guy.

Suzuki Sonoko had a flash of inspiration and re-enacted the "Civilian Tourism Strategy".And can't wait to try it out.

——That's why she appeared in this homestay in Izu tonight.

It's not called Jiang Xia, because it always feels weird to bring Jiang Xia to tease Han.

And if the handsome civilians dare not come over after seeing Jiang Xia, it will affect the test results.

However, Suzuki Sonoko never expected that she would meet Jiang Xia before meeting the wild handsome guy when she went out this time.

……

As soon as Suzuki Sonoko made a sound, Mao Lilan and Conan followed her gaze and saw Jiang Xia.

Mao Lilan also suddenly felt guilty. There was an embarrassment that three people made an appointment to have a blackout together, but two of them ran away alone, and then met the third person unexpectedly in the canyon.

"..." This... From Jiang Xia's point of view, would it be of the same nature as Doctor Fenghu who stabbed him in the back!

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other, stood up quickly, and tried to make amends.

But soon, they found that Jiang Xia did not "look over sadly, then turn away in a self-contained manner"... On the contrary, Jiang Xia walked over, and then lingered next to the empty stool.

Conan looked at Jiang Xia, then at Mao Lilan, and pushed an empty stool out.

Suzuki Sonoko finally came back to his senses, pulled the back of the chair, and said enthusiastically, "Sit down!"

Jiang Xia sat down reservedly.

Then he admired the three people in front of him.

Basically, wherever these classmates are, he can pick up ghosts there. Jiang Xia feels very good when he sees them now.

After looking around, Jiang Xia suddenly felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

At this time, with a click, another stool fell down beside the round table.

Toru Amuro sat down naturally: "Hello, I am the boss of Jiang Xia's office."

...Jiang Xia seemed to say before that bringing a high school student to that pottery classroom can make people relax?
