Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 224 Number Sequence Takes Me

In addition, when talking about Xu Shengyi, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered something.

——He remembers the intersection of "Xu Shengyi" and "Maori Kogoro", and it was Mouri Kogoro who helped Xu Shengyi find his lost cat.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia turned off the computer, went to Toru Amuro's detective agency, and looked through the cat diary and the appointment book hanging at the door.

However, Xu Shengyi's name did not appear in the column of the client, nor did there be other people with the surname Xu, such as Xu Shengyi's wife.

... I don't know if the cat has not been lost, or has already been lost, but Xu Shengyi didn't go to him to check, but was influenced by the stubborn world line, and went to Mouri Kogoro.

After all, although Mori Kogoro's murder cases are now taken away by young people who don't speak martial arts, the Mori Detective Agency is still famous for finding all kinds of things.

Anyway, being idle is idle, Jiang Xia simply found a few new accessories that Yoko Kinoshita gave him, and took them as an excuse to go to the Maori Detective Agency to inquire about news.

Mori Kogoro is usually unkempt, and orders are piled up on the table.Jiang Xia glanced at it, and really saw Xu Shengyi's cat-finding commission in it.

The photo shows a ginger-yellow cat with a heart-shaped white fur on its side. The color and characteristics of the cat are very unique.

Looking at the photo, Jiang Xia felt that she had found the entry point for the case of Kogoro Mori.

——Judging from the completion of the remarks on the order form, Mori Kogoro has not been able to find the cat yet.

When it comes to finding cats, Jiang Xia happens to have a group of younger brothers who are exceptionally talented in this area.

If he can pick up this cat first and send the cat to Kogoro Mouri, when Kogoro Moori meets Xu Shengyi with the "nine" in his name in the future, he might be able to think of Jiang Xia by the way and learn from "Jiang" Remove a "two" and the like from ".

In this way, Jiang Xia can naturally participate in it.

……

Thinking of this, when Mori Kogoro was happily dismantling Yoko Kinoshita's not-for-sale items, Jiang Xia picked up the cat photo.

He hesitated, "This cat... I seem to have seen it somewhere."

Mori Kogoro was taken aback, and temporarily put aside his surroundings. He was more concerned about the client's entrustment: "Do you remember the exact location?"

Jiang Xia thought for a while: "It seems to be next to the Metropolitan Police Department."

This is a lie.

Jiang Xia has only seen a beautiful photo of this cat, which was on Kogoro Mouri's table a few seconds ago, and has never seen its real cat at all.

Jiang Xia would say this because she just wanted to pave the way for catching a cat in the future—it would be more reasonable to have seen a cat, paid attention to this commission, and then suddenly caught a cat and gave it to Mori Kogoro.

If you can't find the cat in the future, then of course it's okay. A cat like a creature that wanders around the world as soon as it goes out, it's very reasonable to see it once but not be able to catch it.

And if he catches it, without preparation, he gets a cat for no reason and sends it to Mori Kogoro, and then a few days later, the cat's owner is suddenly brutally murdered... I always feel that something is not right after thinking about it.

Jiang Xia evaluated himself objectively, and felt that he was not a flawless law-abiding citizen.

Therefore, some suspicious coincidences can be avoided, and it is best to avoid them as much as possible.Although there is nothing wrong with one or two incidents, this kind of thing is like a toxin accumulated in the body. If it accumulates too much, one day it will be on the verge of losing the horse.

Lost the vest of a good citizen, as long as there is no evidence, you can't get into the game.But that will be guarded against by the good people in the red side, and it will not be easy to pick up ghosts as easily as now...

Kogoro Moori didn't think too much, he wrote down the place Jiang Xia said, and planned to look for it later.

……

Jiang Xia punched out the card at Mori Kogoro's office, got the information she wanted, and left quickly.

After leaving the Maori Detective Agency, Jiang Xia sent a group message to his younger brothers, asking them to pay more attention to the cat with the flanks.

At the same time, he stopped by Dr. A Li's house, intending to see if any fresh cats were sent over—in case a younger brother with extraordinary talents saw a cat that didn't look like a stray cat, he would catch it back Woolen cloth.

Unfortunately, Dr. A Li's house does not have the cat Jiang Xia was looking for.

But there is something he wants to eat.

Jiang Xia spent a meal at Hui Yuanai's place, and continued to urge the younger brother to find a cat.

He himself temporarily returned to the detective agency to deal with the fragmentary commissions squeezed during the trip to Mermaid Island.When I got home, I had to look up other cases that might happen in the near future—on the list sent by Qin Jiu, there was another name that Jiang Xia thought was familiar.

……

Just two days later, when Jiang Xia was looking at the materials at home, he suddenly received a message from Huang Mao.

——Huang Mao said that he saw the cat Jiang Xia was looking for on the balcony of an apartment building.

Jiang Xia quickly arrived at the place he said, and looked up.

This apartment has six floors in total, and the target beautiful cat is lying on the balcony railing of a certain family on the fourth floor, sleeping comfortably.

I don't know whether it was picked up by someone or it climbed up by itself.

However, most people should not put cats on semi-open balconies at will.Jiang Xia thinks it's more likely to be the latter.

The position on the fourth floor is not up or down, and it is not easy for humans to get a cat.

Jiang Xia looked around and found that it was quite quiet and there was no one there.

So he wanted to send his younger brother away, and he just made a large bird out of clay and caught the cat.

However, the younger brother had just left, and when Jiang Xia was about to hide aside and pinch the puppet, the ghosts suddenly reacted.

——There was murder in that house.

It's not strong, but it does exist.

Jiang Xia was startled.

After thinking for a while, he put away the puppet clay and walked into the apartment building.

This condo does not have unit doors.

Jiang Xia glanced at the mailbox on the first floor, compared with the room number he saw just now, and found that the resident of the house where the target cat was located was Naoki Uemura.

This name gave Jiang Xia a sense of familiarity.

In my impression, Uemura Naoki is a little famous football player.Not long ago, during a training session, his calf was accidentally kicked by his friend Hideo Akagi and fractured.

Uemura Naoki firmly believed that Akagi hero deliberately kicked and broke his right leg because he was worried about being overtaken by him.

So Uemura Naoki took advantage of his relationship with Akagi Hero to bring Akagi Hero’s younger brother back to his home to play during an important game, and faked the illusion that his brother was kidnapped, and anonymously sent a threatening letter to Akagi Hero, demanding Hero Akagi played match-fixing and deliberately lost the game.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia let the ghost float upstairs to check the situation.

In room 402, there were two people, one big and one small.

The child was concentrating on playing games, while the adult had a plaster cast on his right leg. He sat beside him, watching the football game on TV with a gloomy expression.
