Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 217 Kidd doesn't want to be robbed anymore

However, facing Jiang Xia's expectant and oppressive gaze, Wu Tiangou dared not speak.

It pondered nervously for a moment, hesitated to spread its wings, and took a deep breath.

... After a lot of hard work, Wutiangou has indeed grown a lot.

From a small pillow, it became a small pillow that expanded a little...

Looking at this subtle change, Jiang Xia sighed tiredly.

Forget it, let’s exchange the mermaid’s rations for body pillows when we regularly feed the ghosts...

This trip down, although troublesome, but the harvest is not small.

It was a surprise that the puppet was strengthened.

Of course, you can also get some basic benefits after signing up as a new ghost - the mermaid has unsurprisingly lit up her skills.

She can make a person breathe in water.

If the mermaid puppet is summoned and it appears within one meter of the target, the time limit for "breathing in water" can be extended until the murderous aura is not enough to maintain the puppet.

If you don't summon puppets and only use skills, it can last for about 5 minutes.

Although this fish is not easy to get along with and always covets his ghost mint, but his skills are quite practical, and he didn't do anything weird like Xiaobai or Wutiangou.

In addition to skills, getting a new ghost is also equivalent to getting a new puppet shape.

Jiang Xia looked at the conspicuous big tail of the Mermaid Ghost, feeling complicated—I'm afraid that this time, the vest still can't be used for walking on the street normally...

Unsurprisingly.

After throwing the mermaid ghost into the puppet clay, the puppet turned into a mermaid without delay.

Maybe it's because the gender of the monster is vague, the puppet shape is neutralized by Jiang Xia's soul, and it no longer looks so feminine. The original shell corset has also become a flat scale armor that covers the ribs.

This made Jiang Xia secretly relieved.If the puppet hasn't changed, it would be very strange to have him in a female vest that only wears shells...even if the vest only appears in water.

Now that he is like this, he can barely keep his lower limit of shame...

After Jiang Xia counted the harvest, she turned off the lights and went to sleep satisfied.

……

The next afternoon, the wind and waves at sea gradually subsided, and the police finally arrived by boat.

They checked the bodies of the two deceased and listened to the islanders' statements about the situation at the time. They also felt that although the two incidents were accidental, there seemed to be someone behind them.

After checking the belongings of the deceased, the police found a letter from "Saori" in Heijiang Nao's mobile phone.

As a result, Menli Shazhi became a major suspect, and her "disappearance" was also given a strong atmosphere of "at large".

Both Hattori Heiji and Conan felt that the matter was not that simple, and guessed in their hearts that Saori Kadori might have been killed as well.

But now the clues at their hands are very scarce, and it is difficult to make a complete reasoning.

In addition, the long vacation is coming to an end, and they have to go back to school...

The detectives could only book the boat ticket reluctantly.

……

At the same time, Junhui Shimabukuro also packed his luggage secretly, left a letter in the shrine, and prepared to board the ship leading to the outside world.

Before that, she stayed on the island all the time to follow her mother's last wish, so that Mermaid Island has always had a "mermaid" spokesperson, so that the island can continue to rely on tourism to sustain itself.

But Junhui Shimabukuro would do that before, because she thought that there were no real mermaids in the world, so she had to pretend to be "Mingyang", a virtual character used to indirectly confirm the existence of mermaids.

And now, since the mermaid really exists... maybe she should give the island to the mermaid.

...well, the above are all excuses.

The truth is, she doesn't want to stay on this island anymore.

——Before, when the police entered the mountain to carry out Heijiang Nao’s body, many islanders were watching.

Junhui Shimabukuro was also mixed with the onlookers in a complicated mood at the time, wanting to see her enemy for the last time.

It was dark at that time, and the eyes of several old people on the island were not very good. They didn't see Junhui Shimabukuro behind them, and they muttered in a low voice-Nao Heijiang probably "stared at Naoko's bones, and was revenged by the dead".

It was then that Shimabukuro Junhui suddenly realized that the neighbors on the island who lived together day and night were not as ignorant as they seemed.

——They knew the real body of "Fate" and the mermaid, and even vaguely guessed the cause and effect of the fire three years ago. It was just for the prosperity of the island, and no one was willing to tell the truth.

That night, Junhui Shimabukuro didn't know how she got home.

Facing the shrine, she thought about it all night, and finally decided to pack up and leave.

She doesn't want to guard the island anymore, and she doesn't want to guard the people on the island anymore.

The world is so big, and she is still young, she wants to see the outside world.

……

On the boat leaving Mermaid Island, the two groups of people met so suddenly.

——A group of high school students looked shocked when they saw the miko who was carrying big bags and looking like she was planning to move.

Hattori Heiji and Conan simultaneously thought of the two "accidents" that looked like accidents but had obvious traces of man-made, complex lights appeared in their eyes.

But they looked at Junhui Shimabukuro's relaxed and happy appearance, and felt that this was not at all like the state she would have been in when she had just killed someone-especially when there were three detectives sitting next to her.

And if I remember correctly, Jiang Xia accidentally looked at her just now, Shimabukuro Junhui also kindly asked him if he would like to eat a small cake... Unless he is a pervert who regards killing as natural as breathing, he probably can't do it like She does.

Sure enough, it was just a coincidence.

Moreover, Junhui Shimabukuro may not want to "move and escape", but he just brought a lot of things when he went out...

……

With the new ghost in her arms, Jiang Xia returned home with a fruitful harvest.

When he arrived at the detective agency the next day, the first thing he did was to check the mailbox.

However, there is still no invitation letter for the serial murder case.

Jiang Xia has gone from being lost at the beginning to getting used to it now.

He sighed in a very ordinary way, and cleaned up the mailbox filled with various advertisements.

Then he suddenly saw a piece of news in a certain newspaper that he was concerned about.

——Phantom Thief Kidd is about to act again.

This time, Kidd's goal is a sapphire.

Jiang Xia carefully wrote down the time and place on the notice letter, and planned to go to the appointment on time to pick up the energy core.

Since discovering the function of Kidd to produce energy cores, Jiang Xia has been very concerned about the news in this regard.

——Before this, he had already gone there twice in Wutiangu's vest and robbed two pieces of Kidd's target.

Although the energy inside is not too much, compared to ordinary robbers, it can be said to be rich in returns.

……

That night, Kidd adjusted his equipment, set off vigilantly, and headed to the stadium.

If the only opponents were Officer Nakamori and his subordinates, Kidd would regard the process of taking away the gems as an interesting game.

But ever since meeting Kiritengu on Suzuki's boat, everything has changed...

　All plots, details, etc. are subject to change
