Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 272 Boss, You Charge Your Energy So Quickly
Kidd didn't delay much, and immediately handed over the club.

Wu Tiangou looked down for a while, took the cue, and wiped it with a cloth very carefully, and then began to nibble in satisfaction.

Kidd observed secretly and found that Wutiangou's pair of teeth that symbolized "I want to eat people" had retracted, so he was relieved.

Kryptonite is still useful.In order for Qingzi and other innocent people not to be gnawed by monsters, he and Grandpa Terai really sacrificed too much...

Kidd sighed, taking advantage of the fog that Tengu was busy dealing with the club, and turned to look outside.

The policemen who poured into the billiard hall just now did not come for Kaitou Kidd, but the police officers of the Organized Crime Countermeasure Department.The unconscious boss and the black-clothed boys had already been put into the car one after another.

As the old subordinate of the boss, Lian Luo was among those who were taken away.Grandpa Terai chased after him, and the two old rivals looked at each other with sympathy.

Nobody noticed this.

Kidd withdrew his gaze, walked back to Wutiangou, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "By the way, after a while... I might go to your hometown."

Jiang Xia: "...?"

He was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly matched his brain circuit with Kidd - "hometown" should refer to the mountain where the Shanni Temple is located.

The legend of Wutiangou is most prevalent in that area.That's why at that time, the old monk would borrow the legend to kill Zhong Nian.

Otherwise, this "hometown" cannot refer to Jiang Xia's own home...

After figuring this out, Jiang Xia looked at Kidd in a strange way - just go, tell him what to do, be addicted to being robbed?
In addition, what treasures can be found in the deep mountains... Jiang Xia began to search for related cases in his memory.

Kidd noticed Wu Tiangou's slight doubts, he chose his words, and continued: "I'm not going to steal treasures this time, I just want to go there and find out something. So I'll let you know in advance."

——The main reason is that Wuwu Tiangou discovered his whereabouts like today, followed him secretly, and took it for granted that there was a treasure.Then when I got to the place, I found that there was no one at all, so I beat him up angrily, or ate people to satisfy my greed... That would be too wronged.

This time, Jiang Xia failed to keep up with Kidd's vast brain circuit.

But there was one thing he managed to grasp—maybe there would be a case.

Jiang Xia temporarily put down the cue and asked Kidd when he entered the mountain and the specific location.

After Kidd finished answering, he curiously remembered a question—how do monsters usually keep time, and also use a calendar?

...However, after all, he is a monster living in modern times. Since Wutiangou can always follow the notice in the newspaper and come to rob him, the date is of course not a problem.It should be nothing to worry about.

Wait, speaking of following the notice in the newspaper...

Kidd hesitated to speak, but in the end he couldn't suppress his curiosity

.Seeing Wu Tiangou holding the cue, he seemed to be in a good mood. He took the opportunity to ask, "How did you find me today? That boss probably didn't publish my notice letter in the newspaper."

Jiang Xia said perfunctorily, "Meet by chance."

"That's it..." Kidd was relieved, Wu Tiangou should disdain to lie, it seems that Brother Yaokai didn't follow him secretly, mainly relying on newspapers to find out where he committed the crime, and then guarded.

But when it comes to newspapers, a monster who usually lives in the mountains shouldn’t be able to order that kind of thing. Did he steal… rob… someone else’s newspaper?

After all, newspapers are usually inserted in letter boxes, and the location is easy to find...

……

Jiang Xia absorbed the last bit of energy core, looked at the comfortable ghosts around him, and handed the club to Kidd casually.

Then I saw Kidd was silent for a moment, and suddenly passed on his experience in a low voice: "Don't just grab the newspaper, it doesn't matter if you throw this cheap thing once or twice, but if you lose it every time, the owner may call the police, or even go to the door of the house." Install a camera."

Jiang Xia: "...?"

After Kidd finished speaking, he took the club and left quickly.At the same time, he felt guilty for a while, feeling that he had taught the monster badly.

Jiang Xia watched him run away inexplicably.

After Kidd's back disappeared, Jiang Xia still didn't want to understand the source of the sentence just now, so he didn't bother to continue to figure it out.

He dealt with the things on the vest, disbanded the puppet, and returned to the body.

……

The next day, Jiang Xia routinely went to the detective agency to check the mailbox.

There were a lot of things in the mailbox, and he took them all out, and as he walked into the house, he picked out the advertisements and threw them into the trash can.

After throwing it away, the thickness of the stack of papers in his hand was reduced by half.

What was left was nothing more than a pile of newspapers and the appointment form of the client.

Jiang Xia was planning to classify the orders, but at this moment, an envelope suddenly fell out of the newspaper and fell to the ground with a thud.

Jiang Xia was startled, and picked up the letter with slight surprise.

Turning it over, Jiang Xia: "..."

——The location of the sender is impressively written in three large characters: Nakamura Cao.

With a glimmer of hope, she opened it and looked at the contents. She clearly hoped that Jiang Xia could go to her grandfather's villa and help solve the puzzle.

The clock case that was just solved.

...It seems that after the letter was sent, the Jiangxia people arrived before the letter arrived.

The commission letter I received for the first time turned out to be an old case.Jiang Xia sighed faintly, tore up the phone number and name on the letter, and threw the letter and advertisement into the trash can.

Jiang Xia's mood plummeted after being feinted by the client.

But in the evening, he suddenly received a call from Toru Amuro—inviting him to work part-time.

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Xia came to a wedding company at the address given by Toru Amuro.

Then at the gate, I was surprised to see Toru Amuro.

The accident was because, in the past, Toru Amuro had often sent him part-time job errands, but those few times he was always asked to take over.

But today, looking at this posture... Amuro Toru actually wants to do this part-time job together.

...Boss has recharged his energy so quickly?

Jiang Xia approached suspiciously and expectantly, opened the car door, and got into the co-pilot.

Today, Toru Amuro didn't drive his beloved Mazda, but drove the advertising car of the wedding company - he took a part-time job here to help prepare a wedding.

The main selling point of this wedding company is "personalization" - the customer is God.As long as the customer makes a request, no matter how outrageous, the company will try its best to undertake it.

In order to cope with the various requests of customers, it is inevitable to go to various places to purchase various items and order various props.Today, Amuro Toru and he are in charge of coordinating those odds and ends.

On the way to pick up the customized props, Toru Amuro first turned on his anti-eavesdropping device and took a turn in the car.

Then he turned off the instrument and looked at Jiang Xia: "Have you heard of Matsumoto Kiyonaga?"
