Conan's Corpse Picker

——No matter why Jiang Xia left, she still hasn't come back so late, maybe it's because of some accident.

Amuro Toru's face was particularly ugly.

Looking out of the dark window, he couldn't help thinking of the weird tooth marks on his tires and the inexplicable blowout.

If the flat tire was not an accident at all, but was affected by something else, such as a demon...

Toru Amuro: "..."

What are you thinking!The world is scientific.

He shook his head quickly, shaking the unreliable thoughts out of his mind.

Then he focused his attention on "finding the missing Jiang Xia".

Ma Gongman also summoned the servants at home to help find him.

……

at the same time.

In the gloomy secret passage, there is another person, desperately trying to find Jiang Xia out.

Xi Chuan Suimi, the maid who had plastic surgery to look like a fake old lady, was walking silently in the long passage with a wooden stick.

She usually pretends to be a demented old man, but in fact, she has been paying close attention to things at home.

Today, as soon as a few guests came, Xi Chuan Suimei immediately noticed.

She leaned over pretending to be crazy and foolishly, and chatted with the guest.

When she found out that there were actually two detectives among the guests, she was shocked.

One is to worry that these people covet her treasure;

The second is that she has killed so many people before, so she naturally feels guilty when facing people like police and detectives.

……

Xichuan Suimi originally planned to find an excuse to drive the guests away later.

But before that, she suddenly heard that the young famous detective had disappeared.

"..." Others couldn't figure out why a living person disappeared out of thin air.

But Xi Chuan Sui Mei was very clear in her heart.

——she knew there was a secret passage in the castle.

Moreover, after several years of boring exploration, she knows the distribution of secret passages like the back of her hand.

In Xi Chuan Suimi's impression, there happened to be an entrance to a secret passage near where Jiang Xia and the others were observing the chessboard.

Xi Chuan Suimei: "..." That detective must have discovered the secret passage and walked in.

Chapter 90 How to Distribute Bento Safely

Realizing that "there are detectives in the secret passage", Xi Chuan Suimi panicked.

If I remember correctly, Mrs. Zhen Tai's body is very close to the place where Jiang Xia entered.

If that body is seen...

Xi Chuan Suimei thought about it, and gradually became murderous.

So just now, she used the excuse that she wanted to rest and locked herself in the room.

Then, carrying a wooden stick, he sneaked into the secret passage from another entrance, intending to use his "familiarity with the secret passage" to sneak attack Jiang Xia and kill the detective who knew too much.

However, Xi Chuan Suimei wandered around the secret road for a long time, but she couldn't find Jiang Xia.

"..." Where did the person go...

She nervously gripped the stick in her hand.

……

As soon as Xi Chuan Sui Mei entered the secret path, Jiang Xia immediately locked her position.

——Although the soul burned to death by Xi Chuan Suimei died in a daze, and never floated to pick her up.But Xichuan Suimi also killed the real Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai knew very well who the murderer was, so the Shikigami she transformed into after her death was now firmly on Xi Chuan Suimi's lap, becoming Jiang Xia's locator.

……

When Xi Chuan Sui Mei entered the secret path, Jiang Xia had already collected the shikigami.

He told the truth about the castle fire to those shikigami who died in vain in the paper bag.

Just about to eliminate obsessions in batches and sign a contract... Nishikawa Suimi delivered it to her door herself.

……

In the dark secret passage.

After Xi Chuan Sui Mei passed by.

Jiang Xia walked behind her silently, just about to take the stick she brought from behind, and knock her down.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something and made a move.

"..." Xichuan Suimi killed so many people at once in order to seize the treasure.Just by beating her up, the shikigami may not fall off.

Shikigami with the same cause of death gather together, interfere with each other, and superimpose each other.Will give birth to a stronger obsession.

The seppuku killer at the seaside of Izu last time only had four shikigami on his body, but after he was beaten like that, none of the shikigami loosened at all.It was after he "suicide" by jumping off a cliff that Akemi Miyano managed to tear off his soul.

But now, more people died in vain...

……

When Xi Chuan Suimi walked a little further, Jiang Xia opened the paper bag, lowered her head and counted carefully.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... A total of eighteen souls.

Count again, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... still eighteen.

When Jiang Xia was counting, Xiaobai and Miyano Akemi looked up and saw his movements, and were slightly taken aback.

After a while, the two ghosts climbed up Jiang Xia's legs proficiently, and moved to the side of the paper bag, wanting to go to the end of the line and help Jiang Xia make up the numbers.

Tengu Ghost had never experienced this kind of "soldier counting" scene. It flapped its wings and flew up, observed the situation in a daze, and tentatively lined up behind Miyano Akemi.

Jiang Xia tapped the three ghosts with his fingertips. After tapping, he almost wanted to release the other shikigami in his heart... But in the end, he realized that this is not the time to count these, so he had to stop regretfully and get down to business first.

……

In short, with so many innocent souls gathered together and just a normal beating, the matter may not be able to end.

Even an ordinary death may not be able to clear up the obsession of shikigami.

... Even so, Jiang Xia didn't intend to kill people.

For ordinary people, death is the end.But for psychics, death may just be the beginning of trouble.

After most people die, they cannot generate a strong soul.

However, the aura of the psychic master himself is quite special. There are many precedents in history that died at the hands of the psychic master, became too black, and landed as the soul of the big boss.

For Jiang Xia, the situation of "being killed by a blackened soul after killing" is roughly equivalent to "randomly shaking the number from 1-100000, and if the number is shaken to '64541', he will die suddenly on the spot."

——This is actually an extremely low-probability event.But as long as there is a probability, it means that that situation is likely to happen.

According to experience, the best way to avoid it is not to shake it at all.

……

While Jiang Xia was thinking.

Xi Chuan Sui Mei went all over the tunnel, but couldn't find Jiang Xia.

She gradually frowned, worried that Jiang Xia had already left the secret passage.So she didn't stay any longer, and left quickly, planning to go outside first, using the identity of "old lady" to find out about the situation.

……

In the secret passage, more than ten meters away.

Jiang Xia looked at the exit where Xi Chuan Suimei disappeared, recalled the layout of the tunnel, and turned around to the other side.

Chapter 91 How to Pretend You Are a Hostage

When we got outside, the fake old lady looked at her watch and sat back in her wheelchair.

She went out to inquire about the situation, and was relieved to learn that Jiang Xia was still missing.

——Since Jiang Xia hasn't brought the news of "the real Mrs. Tai is dead" out of the secret passage.For her, everything would be saved.

However, judging from the location where Jiang Xia entered the secret passage and the location of Mrs. Tai's body.Xi Chuan Suimei thought, Jiang Xia must have found the body.Maybe this cunning young detective wanted to hide in the tunnel, wait for the phone to be repaired, and then come out directly to call the police.

Xi Chuan Sui Mei: "..." You can't keep following the opponent's rhythm.

We must quickly find a way to find out Jiang Xia and silence him.

……

At this time, several other guests happened to pass by from the other end of the corridor.

Xi Chuan Suimi looked at them and suddenly had a flash of inspiration:

It's better to tie a hostage by yourself, take the hostage into the secret passage, and force Jiang Xia out - the high school student detective must be very upright, if his partner's life is threatened, he will not stand by.

After Xi Chuan Suimi had an idea, she chose among the remaining four guests, and without much hesitation, she set her target on Conan.

——Children are relatively simple and easy to deceive, and after being deceived, they are also easy to carry.And if it was the other three people, dragging them around in the secret passage to find Jiang Xia would be too exhausting.

I have to find an opportunity to lure that child out alone...

Thinking of this, Xi Chuan Suimei put on a piece of clothing and re-entered the secret passage.

……

A group of people searched all over the castle, but they couldn't find Jiang Xia at all.

Conan was concerned about the "treasure" puzzle in the courtyard, but also had to think about where Jiang Xia was, and his whole body was a little overloaded.
