Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 257 Is Poisoning Your Traditional Artistic Skill (Updated)

Hui Yuanai hesitated for a moment, and followed Jiang Xia.

Although leaving the room, you may meet other members of the organization, but Jiang Xia said that there is no problem with that person.

And at times like this, if you stay in the room alone, you will feel a little nervous. It is better to find someone to be with you...

Facts have proved that holding a reliable thigh is useful.

——Not long after, Hui Yuanai was standing in front of the food stall near the hotel, chewing a bunch of meatballs, when she suddenly heard a commotion from the pool.

Running over with Jiang Xia, I saw Conan floating in the water, soaked, swimming tenaciously to the edge of the pool.

According to the comments of the people around him, Conan fell from the balcony in the corridor on the third floor.

Fortunately, there is water below, the child is relatively light, and Conan's head is iron. In short, Conan has no other symptoms except shivering from the cold.

Jiang Xia reached out to fish the man out of the swimming pool.

As soon as Conan landed, he quickly rushed to the third floor.Jiang Xia and Hui Yuanai also followed.

However, when they arrived, there was only an empty corridor on the third floor.

Conan looked around, but couldn't find the trace he was looking for.

Only then did I have time to explain to the other two people: "I was pushed down just now."

Huiyuan Ai was taken aback, thinking of the member of the organization wandering nearby, she didn't dare to eat the meatballs, took out a small handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and vigilantly pulled up her mask again.

Seeing her movements, Conan lowered his voice uncertainly and said, "The one who pushed me was the host who was dressed as the 'Night Baron'. I don't think he's a member of the organization..."

Jiang Xia listened quietly by the side.

In the original world line, similar things actually happened.It was the murderer who pushed Conan down the stairs. That person wanted to scare away the famous detective who strayed into the game and might expose his tricks in this way—if a child has this kind of encounter, even if he is not injured, he will usually cry loudly , resolutely refused to stay in such a scary place, so that the detective who brought the child could only leave together.

But this time, Jiang Xia remembered the way the would-be murderer Kamijou Satoshi occasionally looked at him in the hall... thinking that the murderer would start from his side.I didn't expect that no matter who he changed to, Conan's hatred would still be so steady.

Jiang Xia touched Conan's head sympathetically.

Hui Yuanai watched this scene silently, and when Jiang Xia finished touching, he immediately found a handkerchief and handed it to him: water in one hand, wipe it quickly.

Jiang Xia took the two children to the room.

On the way, he pretended to analyze: "Dr. Li did say that the host will pretend to be the 'Night Baron' in these three days to create some incidents, but..."

"But it's too much to push an innocent child into the water." The innocent victim Conan was wrapped in wet clothes, trembling and struggling to answer:

"I always feel that this is more like a threat than an 'incident'. A group of programmers get together to solve puzzles, and a detective suddenly sneaks in... On the bright side, it is the host who feels that we have broken the rules of the game. Often Bad idea..."

——Who would hate a detective and try to drive him away through extreme means?

Conan always has a bad feeling when he thinks of the murders he encountered when he went out with Jiang Xia.

I hope he thinks too much...

……

Back at the door of the suite, Jiang Xia opened the door.

Conan walked quickly back to the room to change clothes.

Huiyuan Ai took off his mask, ate the remaining meatballs in a few bites, and then went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Jiang Xia walked to the small coffee table in the living room, trying to boil some water with a kettle.

However, just as he stretched out his hand, the mermaid who was left by him to watch the house swam towards Jiang Xia's hand full of resentment, and made a buzzing sound against Jiang Xia's hand.

Jiang Xia: "..." Huh?

...Acted by Akimi Miyano?

Can you learn something better.

Jiang Xia ignored her and continued to take the kettle.

The kettle was full. Jiang Xia didn't intend to drink water when she put her luggage in just now, but she still boiled a kettle first, trying to scald the bacteria and viruses that might exist in it in this way, so that it would be convenient to boil water for hot drinks in the future.

Now, the water in the pot has already boiled and warmed up, Jiang Xia intends to throw it away and re-boil the pot.

But the mermaid seems to have misunderstood what he meant, thinking that Jiang Xia wants to drink the water inside.

She swam to Jiang Xia and complained: The water is not clean.

Jiang Xia glanced at her somewhat unexpectedly, but not too unexpectedly, and motioned for it to elaborate.

The mermaid was a little angry and aggrieved, and pointed to the pot: just now it became smaller and was soaking in hot springs in the pot. A man in a black cloak and a white smiling face mask opened the door with a master key, and threw a few grains into the water. pill.

Jiang Xia: "...Wait, let you take care of the house, you use the water I drink to take a bath?"

The mermaid froze slightly.Then, using air as water, she appeared to be confident on the surface, but in reality she swam around 360° in front of Jiang Xia with a guilty conscience, showing herself—she was super clean, without any dirt, not even dust.

In Jiang Xiamo's feelings, he threw the fish aside with his tail in his arms: "In the future, I will put it in my cup again, and the murderous spirit will be less once I enter it-by the way, the pot will not work either."

The mermaid that was thrown away swung its tail, swam back angrily, and bit him angrily.

Then, with the little will-o'-the-wisp floating all over his body, he swam faintly into the bathroom, looking for other water.

Jiang Xia held the kettle in a daze for two seconds, suddenly thought of something, her expression changed, she put down the kettle and quickly followed in.

Hui Yuanai, who was washing his face by the pool, was taken aback.

Jiang Xia pressed down the kid who was jumping up, and stretched out the other hand to the bathtub: "It's okay, you wash yours, I'll put some water."

As he spoke, he observed the mermaid secretly.

Then he was relieved to find that the fish did not go straight to the stagnant water in the toilet as he thought...

She probably just thought that there was water in the bathroom, but she hadn't thought about where to soak it.

The mermaid didn't know what Jiang Xia was thinking, seeing Jiang Xia offered to help her put water in the bathtub, she became happy again.

Unlike other ghost fetuses, her size can be scaled freely, up to the size of a human.If it is the smallest, it can be the same size as Xiaobai.

Usually, the mermaid is used to maintaining the size of an ordinary ghost fetus. Just now, in order to soak in the hot spring in the pot, she shrank herself even smaller.

Now that there is a wide fish tank, the mermaid has comfortably returned to the size of an ordinary ghost.

Following the air, she swam to a place close to the water surface, took out half of her hidden murderous spirit, patted the fluff, and threw it into the water.

Then, with the soft murderous look on his pillow as a swimming lap, he patted his tail and moved, his eyes narrowed into dotted lines happily.

Jiang Xia put a shallow layer of water and returned to the living room.

He looked at the teapot, hesitated for a moment, lifted the lid and smelled the water inside.

It was fine, no fishy smell.

... No, it does not have the legendary bitter almond flavor.This means that it was not the deadly poison potassium cyanide that was thrown into the teapot.

The host who wanted to force him to disconnect probably just put some sleeping pills or something.
