Conan's Corpse Picker
Page 85
If possible, Jiang Xia still wants to stay with the case attractors.
The case was solved, and the melon-eating crowd surrounding the store's entrance dispersed one after another, revealing Mao Lilan's figure.
Mao Lilan was carrying a box of cakes, and there was another person standing beside her. Jiang Xia found out that this was an acquaintance - Suzuki Sonoko.
Suzuki Sonoko dressed up very beautifully today, when she saw Jiang Xia coming out of the store, her eyes lit up, and she waved happily to say hello.
Suzuki Sonoko heard a little about the past from Mori Lana.
She originally wanted to comfort Jiang Xia who had met with a murder case again, but before she could walk over, a person suddenly rushed in front of her.
The playboy posed for a pose, brushed his hair, and looked at Suzuki Sonoko affectionately: "Sorry for keeping you waiting, something happened just now."
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
...Oh yes, she seems to have an appointment with this person today.
When I saw Jiang Xia just now, I almost forgot about it.
——A while ago, Sonoko Suzuki ran into this playboy on his way out for a trip.Brother Hua took out the professional eighth-level seductive skills he had experienced in Ten Thousand Flowers, and beat her out.Suzuki Sonoko had never seen such a posture before, and agreed to a date in a daze.
But now...
Suzuki Sonoko rubbed her chin in embarrassment, lost in thought.
——Putting this "charming playboy" next to Jiang Xia, for some reason, the mature aura that attracted her at the beginning suddenly disappeared more than half.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at Playboy, focused on the strange water stains on his body, and retreated in his heart.But she felt that it was not kind to go back and forth, and she couldn't say something like "cancel the appointment".
She looked at Jiang Xia hesitantly, and suddenly looked forward to the wonderful scene where two people competed for her - as long as Jiang Xia said a little bit, she could decline the date with Playboy on the grounds of "I'm sorry I have an appointment with a friend".
After all, she made an appointment with Brother Hua an hour ago, and now, because of the sudden case, the appointment time has passed. Strictly speaking, she can't be regarded as canceling the appointment without authorization.
——Suzuki Sonoko did some psychological construction for himself in this way, and continued to look at Jiang Xia expectantly.
Then I was shocked to find that instead of trying to stop Jiang Xia, she had "Take me with you" written all over her face.Moreover, he grabbed Conan who was passing by, and pushed Conan towards her as if he was selling a product, and he seemed to want to take Conan with him.
Sonoko Suzuki's eyes twitched.
After a while, she suddenly felt ashamed again.She thought that Jiang Xia might have mistaken her "date" with the playboy as a pure "date" at the elementary school level of "hanging out with a few friends"...
Hey wait.
In this case, why not follow Jiang Xia's idea and change this date into an ordinary gathering of friends.In this way, he would not offend others, and he could also logically reject Playboy's possible association request.
The more Suzuki Sonoko thought about it, the more she felt ok, and began to speak.
Conan was inexplicably held back by Jiang Xia, he raised his head and looked around in doubt, and his eyes fell on the playboy who was staring at Suzuki Sonoko affectionately.
Seeing him, Conan narrowed his eyes.
——Just now, he mistakenly thought that Playboy was Mao Lilan's date, so he had a very bad first impression of this person, and focused on observing him, so he overheard a lot of things.
Conan was holding back his anger because he didn't have the opportunity to reason. At this moment, he looked at the playboy, and suddenly said in a strange way:
"Brother, I don't quite understand what you said just now. Why do you think women are difficult because you didn't find the right way to push her away first, and she will definitely be devoted to you after one night"? Why do you push others down, That person is not angry, but still likes you? Huh? Why? Why is this? "
Chapter 103 What Bad Ideas Can Haibara Ai Have?
Playboy: "...!!!" What he was chatting with his friend on the phone was actually overheard by this brat!
You can say this to your friends, but never to your prey.The corners of Playboy's eyes twitched when he was asked, he rushed towards Conan with a guilty conscience, wanting to shut up the mouth of this nagging child first, and then explain to Suzuki Sonoko slowly.
However, before meeting anyone, Conan suddenly took off on the spot——Jiang Xia picked up Conan's collar from behind and moved the person to the other side.
Playboy flung himself to nothing, and wanted to chase after him, but he accidentally saw Jiang Xia's eyes at this time, and he froze all over his body, and stayed where he was.
Almost at the same time, a slap hit his face.
Suzuki Sonoko has never seen a pig run but has eaten pork—she understood the meaning of the sentence that Conan repeated, and she almost flew into a rage—what a mature and charming adult...shameless, tui!Anyone who progresses beyond holding hands on the first date is a hooligan!This is nothing like her ideal romantic encounter!
Suzuki Sonoko felt ashamed to trust such a scumbag after beating the playboy. She couldn't care about the sweet date for a while, and turned her head away angrily.
Playboy was slapped on the face under the eyes of everyone, and his expression was fierce for a moment.
However, he had just stared at Suzuki Sonoko's back, before he had time to do anything, suddenly his back felt cold again.
Playboy was stunned, and after a while, he turned his head secretly, and saw that when he was staring at Suzuki Sonoko, Jiang Xia was also staring at him silently.Jiang Xia's eyes couldn't be described as dangerous, but at the same time, there seemed to be a little bit of implied expectation. His eyes with complicated meanings swept over him carefully, as if he was looking for something.
The playboy was stared at with hairs on his back, his face turned pale, he forced a cold snort, and walked away quickly.
Jiang Xia watched him walk away a little disappointed.After searching for a long time, he couldn't find any trace of murderous intent from this Brother Hua.It seems that sometimes people are too timid, which is not an advantage...
Jiang Xia regretfully let go of the hand that was secretly holding the stick, and left in a dull manner.
……
Today's part-time job was canceled because of a sudden murder in the store.Jiang Xia went back to work in the office.
At times like this in the past, Miyano Akemi would usually find a place to spread herself out.
But today, she has been floating around, looking like an anxious person pacing left and right.
The ghost tires are released a long distance away.However, as the distance increases and time increases, the energy consumed will increase accordingly.
If Miyano Akemi was left next to Shirley, who is now Haibara Ai, the ghosts would probably be hungry in the future.
In the case of insufficient survival materials, it is better not to engage in those bells and whistles... And as the saying goes, the rare is the most expensive, compared to staring at my sister every day, the surprise brought by seeing my sister every other day may be better. More, but also sustainable development.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia felt a lot more at ease.
He turned around, picked a direction where Miyano Akemi could not be seen, and continued to squat clients with peace of mind.
When it was time to get off work, Jiang Xia returned home.Decided to take Miyano Akemi to the doctor's house to see the situation, and by the way, find an opportunity to gently remind Haibara Ai not to tear his vest.
But of course not directly.
Usually, Dr. Ali came to him with an invention, or dragged him to see the new invention at home. Jiang Xia rarely took the initiative to run to the doctor.
If Hui Yuan Ai had just arrived, I would have looked for it for no reason... I always felt that this kind of behavior would lay the groundwork for the revelation that "Jiang Xia knew the members of the black organization and knew that she was now at the doctor's house" in the future.
Although this kind of behavior can never be used as evidence, and it is difficult for normal people to associate these two things together, it is undeniable that this is indeed a "clue".
The doctor must not be aware of it, but there is Conan who is good at picking horses near the doctor.Now that Conan can't get a reasoning opportunity, it will be even more troublesome if he changes his career to specialize in vest-picking.
So Jiang Xia thought about it, went to the basement and randomly picked a lucky electric soldering iron, fiddled with it, and created a suitable reason for himself.
Before going out, Jiang Xia casually grabbed a box of hardcover instant noodles from the cardboard box next to the coffee table as a door-to-door gift, and took them straight to the doctor's house.
As a well-known tech nerd, Dr. A Li is indeed at home. At this time, he is discussing his new invention with Hui Yuan Ai.
Hui Yuanai was a little absent-minded, she had just narrowly escaped death yesterday, and she hasn't recovered yet today, lacking in energy.
Now she will patiently accompany the doctor to see the invention, one is because the doctor takes great care of her.
The second reason is that when she just woke up yesterday, she was a little frightened by the memory before she fainted, so when she opened her eyes and saw the doctor push the door in, she threw an ornament at the doctor in fear.
She couldn't throw it correctly, the doctor was fine, but the ornaments fell apart.The old man covered his face and groaned, squatting down in distress, picking up the pieces of the machine bit by bit with tears in his eyes.
Shirley was still watching vigilantly with her teeth gritted, but after watching for a while, her conscience suddenly ached.
She hugged the pillow in front of her, and carefully recalled the words Xiaobai threatened her before she fainted. What Xiaobai said at that time seemed to be "When you wake up, don't mention me to anyone" and "If you run away, you will die." Kill everyone who touches you."
When these words are released alone, the threat is very obvious.However, at this time, the little white man was not in front of him, and Xueli couldn't feel his aura. When she thought of Xiao Bai's appearance, her nervousness subconsciously dissipated a little.
But thanks to this, Shirley was able to avoid fear and think normally.
——Judging from Xiaobai's words, since he doesn't want to be mentioned, it means that the old man picking up machine parts in front of him is not an anonymous accomplice.
So...why hand yourself over to this old man?Could it be that besides his low tear point and his strange taste in choosing decorations, does he have other special features?
During Shirley's investigation, Dr. A Li collected all the fragments of the mechanical ornaments, and planned to rescue them when he was free in the future.
He stood up and briefly asked about Shirley's situation.Afterwards, he handed the piece of coffee candy to Shirley, and did not forget to help Xiaobai pass the message: "That kid asked me to remind you, don't forget what you said before."
From the Doctor's point of view, it's just an adorable interaction between two kids... well, a kid and a fake kid.He didn't think much of it.
Shirley carefully observed the doctor's expression, and found that he really only regarded Xiao Bai as an ordinary child.
After hesitating for a moment, Shirley reached out her hand and took the coffee candy with a complicated expression.She put the candy in the palm of her hand, poked the package, and found that the candy inside had broken.
Shirley stared at Tang, lost in thought.
Xiaobai asked the doctor to send a message to remind her not to run away, which was barely thoughtful.But a piece of candy was specially sent, or a piece of broken candy... It's a bit hard to guess.
...Could it be that Xiaobai wants to imitate the "if there is any violation of the order, it will look like this" plot in those cartoons, warning her that if she dares to disobey, she will be smashed to pieces like this candy?
emmm... Is it because Xiaobai won't even let a piece of candy go, or is it because he thinks that using sugar can threaten people.
It's like nothing makes me nervous.
Even if he was used by that mysterious anonymous organization, even if he secretly gave her an anesthesia injection, even if he spoke harshly to her... But from this point of view, Xiaobai is still a child who unfortunately suffered from the second illness...
Shirley sighed, and secretly scolded the anonymous organization in her heart.
It just so happened that she hadn't eaten for a long time and was very hungry now.After scolding, she looked at the candy in her hand, tore open the package, poured the crushed candy into her mouth, chewed and swallowed.
... very fragrant.
But still hungry.
The doctor watched her actions, quickly reacted, and quickly left the room: "You rest first, I'll get you something to eat."
Shirley nodded behind him, slumped back on the bed, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Forget it, here we come.She had nowhere else to go anyway.
Although the purpose of the Anonymous organization is temporarily unclear, at least the environment here is much better than the organization's gas chamber.
Chapter 104
Shirley has never been a person with fighting spirit, or even the complete opposite-when encountering a fatal crisis, her mentality will become very depressed and lack the desire to survive.
Now, being suddenly thrown into a strange place, coupled with the threat of the unknown organization behind Xiaobai, Shirley didn't try to escape, and never even showed any similar intentions.
After waking up, she had a meal in peace, gave herself a new name "Hui Yuan Ai", and looked at his invention at the doctor's invitation...
Just as Hui Yuanai was staring at those strange props, thinking how to give a less hurtful impression, there was a knock on the door of the doctor's house, and someone walked in.
Hui Yuanai turned his head to glance, and suddenly froze.
...Jiang Xia? !
She hid behind the doctor secretly, pulled up the hood that came with her clothes, and covered the top of her head.
