Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 236 How Can a Detective Hit Someone? Ask for a Monthly Pass (〃)
Sawaki was slightly taken aback, then nodded to them, giving up his position a bit.

When he turned his head, he showed a sneer at an angle that Jiang Xia and Conan couldn't see, and it was fleeting.

"A lot of wine." Conan followed Jiang Xia and Sawaki Fairy, walked past countless fully loaded wine cabinets, and couldn't help muttering, "When will this drink?"

Jiang Xia thought of the huge bookcase in Kudo's house: "There are so many books in your house, haven't you read them all?"

Conan: "..." To be honest, he hasn't finished watching it yet...

Of course, it's hard to admit this kind of thing, but fortunately, there is a Sawaki fair next to him.Conan took the opportunity to reveal the tone of a child, and said the lines that a child should say: "Haha, there are so many books, I am a primary school student, I can't read them all...Huh?"

As soon as the words fell, the smirk on Conan's face suddenly froze, and he looked forward.

——He suddenly felt a silvery slick pass by in his vision.Looking carefully, an extremely thin steel wire is actually being pulled horizontally at the height of the adult's calf in front of him.

"……"what's this?
While doubts appeared in his mind, Conan suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and he blurted out: "Stop!"

"What?" Fairy Sawaki didn't seem to be able to react, and turned to look at Conan as he walked, and hit the length of the steel wire.

The steel wire is pulled and turned through countless organs.A tense bowstring sound suddenly sounded, especially piercing in the closed wine storehouse.

——There is a crossbow mechanism behind him!

Conan thought of Jiang Xia behind the two of them, and was startled: "Be careful!"

The sharp crossbow arrow struck instantly, and Conan couldn't see its shadow at all, only heard a burst of piercing sound.

At this moment, Jiang Xia raised his hand at a speed that he couldn't see clearly.The ferocious crossbow arrow was like a piece of flying cotton wool, and he just casually grabbed it in his hand.

Under the shocked gaze of the two people behind him, Jiang Xia looked down at the murder weapon.

Then he looked in the direction it was flying from, and said calmly: "There is no one there... It seems that this is a trigger mechanism that has been arranged in advance. From this point of view, the person who left the letter has a big problem."

Conan, who is already reviewing the method of hemostasis: "..."

Although he doesn't know why, he always forgets the setting "Jiang Xia is actually very good at fighting".But this time... if you read correctly, the arrow was shot from behind Jiang Xia.

... Can this also be caught?

Conan looked at the unscathed Jiang Xia, and then at the arrow in his hand, admiring him, but also a little envious.

If he had such a skill back then, he might not have had to suffer from the sap of gin when he was near the amusement park, and he would not have to be reduced as he is now.

Conan: "..." Why didn't he follow this group to learn fighting skills before?

I regret it now, very much.

……

"what happened?!"

The movement of the crossbow firing, as well as Conan and Sawaki's fair exclamation, quickly attracted the others.

The Mumu police department saw the arrow in Jiang Xia's hand clearly, and was suddenly startled: "This is the same as the one shot in my stomach by the attacker before! I heard that Dr. A Li was also attacked by it."

Jiang Xia handed the metal arrow to the Mumu Police Department, and he came to the end of the corridor.

He looked at the crossbow hidden inside, and the "eight of spades" placed next to the crossbow, thoughtfully: "It should be the same attacker."

Police and detectives discussed the attack in whispers.Sawaki Fairy stood beside him with an ugly expression on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Mumu Police Department patted him comfortingly: "It seems that this is a trap aimed at you. Fortunately, you are lucky, and you happened to be walking with Jiang Xia."

Shido Yongming looked at Jiang Xia in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be quite powerful. I read those reports about you, and thought you were a purely mental detective who couldn't fight."

"I really don't know how to fight." Jiang Xia said seriously, "It's just luck, I grabbed it just now, but I didn't expect to catch it by chance."

...he didn't want to reveal that.

——The cases that Jiang Xia came across were often sudden, and there were very few media present in advance.

And since the police discovered that the prisoners taken over from Jiang Xia were more or less inhumane, out of consideration for the protection of minors and the reputation of detectives, some police officers rarely put reporters on the scene immediately. .

And the result of this is that there are very few media who know that Jiang Xia likes to knock people, and is good at knocking people.

I heard that there was once a tabloid, which got the inside story from somewhere, and tried to criticize this kind of abuse of prisoners and lack of humane care.

However, after the report was released, it failed to arouse the society's thinking about the detective's morality as expected. Instead, only protest letters and unsubscribe notices poured in like snowflakes.

The innocent tabloid was scolded for fabricating things out of nothing, sloppy wording, and deliberately distorting and misleading the truth-how could a high school student detective who hates evil beat someone for no reason?
Even if they fought, it must be because the prisoner was too cruel, and Jiang Xia had no choice but to defend himself legitimately.

Otherwise, what else can I do, do I want to be beaten by the prisoner obediently?
……

So in the future, few reporters mentioned these things again, and when they wrote about Jiang Xia, they only concentrated on restoring those tricky cases.

After all, the audience of this world detective newspaper cares more about the quality of the case.As long as the technique is novel enough and the narrative is compelling enough, it doesn't really matter whether the detective who solves the case is a ruthless gopher-knocking machine in private, or a nice guy who is used to having long talks with prisoners.

Fortunately, this is the case.Jiang Xia thought to himself: Otherwise, if the prisoners turned their heads and ran away when they saw him, how could he stay at the scene happily to gather murderous aura.
