Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 186 The New Ghost's Request for a Monthly Pass ( ˉˉ )
After observing the situation, Jiang Xia tapped his fingers on his knee.

Xiaobai and the others received the order to let go of the surrounded new ghost and floated back.

The new ghost secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly moved a little further away.

……

Jiang Xia began to listen to Chairman Nagato's commission again.

"Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of her. We met in elementary school. At that time, cameras were not as common as they are now." Chairman Nagato said with a smile:

"It's strange to say that I don't even know what she looks like now, but I suddenly miss her very much—that's really a lovely girl. Haha, if my deceased wife hears these words, she will They might come rushing to hit me."

Chairman Nagato coughed a few times, and did not make things too difficult for the detective: "However, although there are no photos, I have found some information—Hinata."

He called to the female secretary next to him.

Hyuga Yuki was clearly prepared.

She flipped through the information in her hand and whispered softly: "The lady's name is Akagi Kotomi, she is from Kanagawa Prefecture, and she didn't get married until she was 29 years old. She and her husband only had one child. When the child was five years old, all three of them suddenly died. No news."

Conan and Mao Lilan: "..." I don't even have a photo, but I even know how old they are when they get married... This kind-faced old man is probably a new breed of stalker.

Jiang Xia looked very professional, her expression did not change, she nodded: "Okay, I will remember."

……

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and two people walked in one after the other.

——These are the two daughters of Chairman Nagato.

The youngest daughter, Nagato Kangjiang, has smooth black hair.She looked at the room with gentle eyes, glanced at everyone, and quickly smiled: "Dad, did you invite guests?"

Without waiting for Chairman Nagato to answer.

Next to her, Nagato Nobuko looked at the female secretary Hinata Yuki with unkind eyes, and said with a strange tone: "Not only are there guests, but a vixen has also sneaked in."

"Nobuko." Chairman Nagato stopped helplessly, "I lie here every day and can't move. If I don't ask Hinata to come over, how can I convey various news to the company. Do I count on you?"

"Huh? Old man, what do you mean! Am I not as good as this vixen?!" Nagato Nobuko was furious, wanting to rush over and slap Hinata Yuki hard.

But before she started, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and suddenly found a handsome young man in the room, and she didn't know where the old man found him.

"..."

Nagato Nobuko and Jiang Xia looked at each other for a moment, snorted coldly, and withdrew their hands as if nothing had happened.

She glanced at her sister next to her, and walked straight to the door: "Be careful too, Kang Jiang—get too close to this vixen, and be careful that she will take away your precious husband."

"Sister, Hinata is not this kind of person..." Nagato Yasuko shook his head, followed behind her, and the two sisters quickly left the bedroom.

……

Chairman Nagato looked at the bedroom door and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Hinata. Nobuko is just a little anxious because she is quite old and no one has come to propose marriage..."

Jiang Xia: "..." Is there a possibility that one of the reasons for her anxiety is that she has a father who speaks too frankly...

Hinata Yuki didn't take the insult just now to heart.

She looked down at her watch and still spoke softly: "It's time for me to go back to the company."

"Okay." Chairman Nagato sighed, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I plan to announce to everyone that you and Hideomi are engaged tonight—that, you still have a chance to go back on your word. If it's you because His disfigurement, and sympathy for him..."

"It's not sympathy." Hinata Yuki turned around with a smile, the smile was genuine, but the meaning in the smile was extremely complicated, "My parents passed away because of the fire, and after that, thanks to Hideomi who took care of and comforted me. He was also killed in the fire to save me. Burnt and disfigured... Our fate has long been firmly poured together by the raging fire, and we will never be separated."

"...never."

She stepped out of the door very lightly, and her figure disappeared through the door.

Jiang Xia looked away in disappointment.He couldn't see his own ghost for the time being—the new ghost left with Hyuga Yuki.

Chairman Nagato seems to be very lonely alone, and keeps pulling them to talk about his "first love".After talking for a while, the door clicked, and someone came again.

This time, it was a frail man with a knitted hat and a face covered with bandages, with only a pair of eyes exposed.The man pushed the bedroom door open a crack and looked in coldly.

"Who?!" Mao Lilan was taken aback by that ghostly appearance, and hid behind Jiang Xia, tremblingly grabbing Jiang Xia's shoulder.

Jiang Xia seemed to hear his own bones, and made a muffled "creak". The corner of his eye jumped, and he almost reached out to touch the swing stick, but he held it back forcibly.

Conan also noticed the movement.He glanced at Jiang Xia with envy and fear: From this point of view, Jiang Xia's body is really strong...

"Haha, don't be afraid." Chairman Nagato waved towards the door, "This is a dog——Hideomi Nagato."

"... Hidetomi?" Mao Lilan was taken aback, remembering the conversation between Chairman Nagato and Hinata Yuki just now.

After all, she is quite a smart person, and quickly sorted out the cause and effect: It sounds like Hinata Yuki encountered a fire when she was a child, and Nagato Hideomi rescued her from the fire, but unfortunately she was burned and disfigured.Afterwards, he also took care of Hyuga Yuki, the only survivor, and the two slowly came together.

Mao Lilan: "..." In this case, it makes sense that the face is covered with bandages and a hat is on the head-many people don't like to expose their scars to others.

She let go of Jiang Xia's hand, and looked at Nagato Hideomi: "Sorry, that, I was shocked when I saw someone at the door just now."... She tried her best to pretend that she wasn't frightened by that horrible outfit Come on, that hurts too much.

Nagato Hideomi was reticent and shook his head, not minding such things.

He was about to leave when a man with shiny hair came out from behind him.

The man put his hand on Nagato Hideomi's shoulder familiarly, looked into the room, and said frivolously: "Is there a guest?"

As if bitten by a poisonous snake, Nagato Hideomi slammed his hand away, turned and left.

Shimura Guangming, who was thrown away by him, was stunned: "...Why are you so angry, are you in a bad mood today?"

He quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Holding a gift box, he walked to Chairman Nagato's bedside: "Dad, happy birthday, little things are not respect."

"Thank you." Chairman Nagato smiled and reached out to pick it up.

Shimura Guangming held the box tightly and didn't let go.

He suddenly approached and said in a low voice: "As a reward for the gift, can you abdicate early and give me the chairman's throne?"

Aged chairman: "..."

He only has one son and two daughters, and none of the three can become successful, and none of them can support the Nagato Consortium.So a while ago, Shimura Guangming married, married Nagato Yasue, and became the son-in-law of the Nagato family. He changed his name to "Nagato Guangming" so that he could inherit the family business in the future.

Shimura Guangming knew Nagato Hideyoshi since he was a child, and he seemed to be a good boy at first, but recently, Chairman Nagato realized that he seemed to have misjudged him.

He sighed and was about to say something.Shimura Guangming had already let go of the gift box, straightened up, laughed and left: "Haha, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Shimura Guangming had a busy schedule during the day, so he came and went for a cutscene, and left soon.

And deep in the corridor, in the shadows he couldn't see.

A pair of eyes hidden behind the bandage stared at his back, "Nagato Hideomi" eyes were full of killing intent.

Nagato Hideomi and Shimura Guangming are indeed good friends, but "Nagato Hideomi" is not.

——The present Nagato Hideomi was pretended by Hinata Yuki.

Two days ago, she finally succeeded in proposing marriage to Nagato Hideomi, and she is about to marry the benefactor who rescued her from the fire and accompanied her all the way up.

A day ago, when she was delivering breakfast to Nagato Hideomi, she found the dead body of him who committed suicide by taking poison.

Next to the body, there was a suicide note, which stated the cruel fact-in fact, 20 years ago, the fire that burned Hinata Yuki's parents to death was caused by Shimura Guangming and Nagato Hideomi.

The two happened to be in high school at the time, and at first they just burned things for fun, but the fire suddenly got out of control.Later, Shimura Guangming escaped in a panic, while Nagato Hideomi rushed into the fire and rescued a little girl.

In the days after that, Nagato Hideomi has been living in guilt, fully accompanying Hinata Yuki who has become an orphan.Two days ago, after the two made a verbal engagement, Nagato Hideomi suddenly felt that his behavior of concealing the truth was very despicable, and he couldn't help but commit suicide.

Hyuga Yuki looked at the suicide note with cold hands and feet, feeling like the sky was falling.The horror of finding the real murderer, the sadness of the sudden death of a lover, the anger of being cheated for 20 years... all kinds of intense emotions mixed together, and finally precipitated into a full killing intent.

She decided to take advantage of this incident to formulate a complete method to kill Shimura Guangming—Hideomi is no longer there, and Shimura Guangming, a hypocritical accomplice, should also go down to accompany him!
The ding-dong sound that Chairman Nagato heard at night was Hinata Yuki practicing his murder technique.

in the corridor.

Hinata Yuki looked at Shimura Guangming's retreating back, and the already heavy murderous aura on his body slowly swelled up again.

At her feet, two sticky ghosts circled around her anxiously, but they couldn't appear in her field of vision at all.

"..."

The two ghosts looked at each other for a while, and suddenly they seemed to have made up their minds.

They dragged their not-so-flexible bodies like dancing tango, moving and drifting towards Jiang Xia's direction.

……

At this time, Jiang Xia had already finished talking about the entrustment.

But he didn't leave - in the evening, Chairman Nagato had a small birthday dinner, and the old man warmly invited them to stay here for one night.Go after the party.

Jiang Xia did not refuse.

Conan and Mori Ran didn't leave either—Moori Kogoro's class reunion was a three-day, two-night itinerary, with the focus on tomorrow night's fireworks celebration.Today is a day to rest and recuperate. If you don't go back to the hotel, you won't delay your trip.

Moreover, they still prefer to play with their peers compared to the Uncle Alumni Association on the other side: Jiang Xia and Hattori Heiji are here.If you are bored, you can play cards together.

……

It's still some time before night.

Therefore, the Nagato family arranged a guest room for them to rest.

Jiang Xia entered her guest room without closing the door.

After waiting for a while, in the crack of the door, one... two... a combined ghost, embracing each other, floated in through the crack of the door panting, and raised their hands to touch the hot sweat that didn't exist.

Jiang Xia closed the door and looked down at them.

The two ghosts stopped at the psychic master's feet, suppressed by the natural coercion, and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

But thinking about the young daughter, the ghosts gradually developed courage again, tugging on Jiang Xia's trousers, muttering and trying to communicate with the psychic: Can you save Xiaoxing?She still has a long life, and she shouldn't be wasting her youth in prison because of that bastard who set fire.

"Of course." Jiang Xia squatted down, got a little closer to them, and communicated kindly, "However, as expected, my own children still have to rely on their own protection—I will lend you the strength you need, as long as you are willing to sign a small contract. contract..."

……

It's night time soon.

The butler set up a small table on Chairman Nagato's bed, and put an exquisite birthday cake on it.

Chairman Nagato looked at the children surrounded by the bed, and happily blew out the candles.

"Bang——" "Bang——" There was a sound, and beautiful colored paper flowers were flying in the air.

Changmen Kangjiang smiled and said, "Dad, happy birthday!"

"This kind of small birthday party is much more comfortable than that kind of banquet, and it should have been done like this before." Chairman Nagato leaned on the bed with a smile, and suddenly said, "The Nagato family has always been sparsely populated and very lonely. Fortunately, today, we are about to add a member—"

He raised his hand to signal Hinata Yuki next to him, and said with a smile, "Hidetomi and Ms. Hinata are already engaged." As he spoke, he looked at the eldest daughter who always scolded Hinata Yuki as a "vixen", "That's why I let Xiaoxing come to our house Stay longer so that she can adapt to the lifestyle at home earlier."

Shimura Guangming followed his line of sight, saw Nagato Nobuko, and said with a smile: "In this way, Nobuko is the only one who is alone in the family. Haha, I didn't expect the disfigured Hideomi to start a family earlier than you .”

Nobuko Nagato's face was livid, she turned her head and left, and slammed the door with a loud bang.

Chairman Nagato was used to her temper, sighed, and shook his head: "By the way, where did Xiuchen go? Why didn't you come?"

"You must be shy, there are guests at home today." Shimura Guangming also walked outside, "I'll call him."

……

The few people left in the room shared the birthday cake.Hyuga Yuki's hands were skillful, and he evenly divided the cake into several pieces.

Chairman Nagato was already sleepy and fast asleep after taking a few bites.No one was surprised—he was, after all, an old man in poor health.

Jiang Xia also got a piece of cake.

While eating, he took a cup of tea from the side while taking advantage of the chaos, and drank a little of it with his head raised.

Just as he put down the glass, a phone rang next to him—the landline in the room rang.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over.

Seeing that Jiang Xia had a cake plate in one hand and a fork in the other, both hands were occupied, and he wanted to help answer the phone, so he subconsciously pressed the hands-free button with his knuckles.

The next second, Shimura Guangming's screams came from the loudspeaker.

"I'm in the room right below you right now! Someone suddenly turned off the lights just now and attacked me from behind..." He looked in pain and shouted, "Help——!!"
