Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 363 Don't Want Jiang Xia, Change One (Chapter)

Conan's face was ugly, and he pressed his forehead that was still aching, and silently refreshed his understanding of this organization in his heart.

In addition, there is another thing that has to be paid attention to.

"...Kenzo Masuyama showed the purple commemorative handkerchief to the police?"

When inspecting the handkerchief yesterday, the Megure Police Department was looking for gin and vodka according to what Kudo Shinichi said, and did not stay in the interrogation room.Later, a fire broke out suddenly, and corpses appeared in the fire... a series of things were too busy, and the Megure Police Department temporarily had no time to pay attention to the details.

So when Conan asked about the condition of the handkerchief just now, he went to ask his subordinates first, and then called back.

Then came the news that "Kenzo Masuyama has a handkerchief", which shocked Conan's pupils slightly.

On the way to the Megure Police Department's inquiry, Conan saw the morning news, and there was a picture of Kenzo Masuyama pointing a gun at the chandelier.

...In other words, the commemorative handkerchief received by Kenzo Masuyama should have been sent flying out with the shooting, and it has not been taken back.But he was able to take out a handkerchief when being checked by the police.

...someone gave him his handkerchief? !
Six figures appeared in Conan's mind—there were seven people who were present at the time of the crime and were given purple commemorative handkerchiefs.In addition to Pisk, there are six other people. Among these people, there is likely to be another member of the organization.

Just as he was thinking, someone knocked twice on the door of the doctor's house, and then opened the door to enter.

It's Jiang Xia.

Conan turned his head to see him, and first nodded and greeted habitually.

Immediately after, a thought flashed through his mind, and he froze for a moment.

Jiang Xia walked in the door, but didn't see the cat. He saw Conan standing in the living room first. He didn't seem to have returned to the Maori Detective Agency.

Conan holds the phone in one hand and the bowknot voice changer in the other.After looking at each other, I don't know what the child thought of, so he turned unnaturally, and walked to another room as if nothing had happened.

It's useless for Jiang Xia to say more, Xiaobai has already consciously floated over, grabbed the receiver, and eavesdropped.

It didn't take long for the witty little ghost to send back the news that Conan was looking for the Mumu Police Department to ask about the purple commemorative handkerchief, and he asked very tangled: Did Jiang Xia have a handkerchief last night.

...the intuition is quite accurate.

Jiang Xia, who had a spare handkerchief, was right. He waved his hand to tell Xiaobai to continue listening. When he came back to tell him something, he stopped a cat that somehow escaped from the cage and was trying to slip quietly from under his feet to the door, and picked it up. rua a few times.

Then he played with someone else's cat, sat on the sofa and waited for dinner.

Hui Yuanai heard the movement and poked her head out of the kitchen to take a look.

After finding out that it was Jiang Xia, and a Jiang Xia who looked healthy and natural without even dark circles under her eyes, she was a little relieved and retreated to the kitchen again.

It seems that the task of assassinating Councilor Tunkou this time really has little to do with Jiang Xia—Pisque is dead, but Jiang Xia doesn't seem to be held accountable by the organization... But I still feel that something is unusual.I don't know if it's an illusion, but she always feels that the tasks and people Jiang Xia has come into contact with now, as well as the information he knows, are not like what a peripheral member should get.

Hui Yuanai felt the atmosphere of organization in the living room that she had gradually gotten used to, and thought of certain possibilities, it was inevitable that her back would get chills, but she peeked again at Jiang Xia who was nestling on the sofa and concentrating on petting the cat through the crack of the door, she His eyes softened unconsciously.

...Probably because I thought too much.How can the organization cadres have time to accept these cat-catching commissions every day.

And I heard from Dr. A Li that the person who invited Jiang Xia to the memory meeting of Director Jiumaki was a client who frequented Jiang Xia's office.That is to say, there was actually a valid reason for Jiang Xia to appear on that occasion.This is not unexpected, at most it is a bit of a coincidence.

As for the excess information, perhaps it was Jiang Xia's own deduction... He is indeed very talented in this area.

Hui Yuanai comforted himself, stopped his thoughts, and didn't want to speculate any more.

After all, after experiencing what happened yesterday, she realized even more deeply that with her current ability, even if she really found out some truth about Jiang Xia, she could do nothing but be anxious, and even give Jiang Xia the opposite. Add to the chaos.

...But fortunately, now, she is no longer the scientist who can only secretly study the antidote alone - she has now passed the assessment that Kudo failed to pass, and initially joined the anonymous organization.

Maybe she can slowly become stronger through this mysterious organization, and then do what she wants...

Thinking of this, Hui Yuan Ai couldn't help but think of Miss Anonymous's unrestrained appearance when beating someone.Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the kitchen, she clenched her fists heavily, and immediately felt that she was full of energy—Anonymous would definitely bring her the strength she wanted.

Not far away, Jiang Xia suddenly sneezed.

After the beating, he felt it carefully, and thought that he didn't have any signs of a cold, so he glanced at the long cat in his hand: "Are you moulting?"

The cat also glanced at him, bared its teeth and yawned, and was hugged by him sadly, as if it didn't want to talk to him and just wanted to go home and sleep.

Being so lazy and running away from home every day is not easy being a cat... Jiang Xia stretched out her hand and rubbed the cat's head sympathetically.

……

After Conan made the secret phone call to Mumu Police Department, when he looked at Jiang Xia again, his expression had returned to normal.

According to the information provided by the Mumu Police Department, Jiang Xia took out a purple commemorative handkerchief when he was questioned by the police.

In other words, he was not the one who provided Pisk with the handkerchief, and Jiang Xia was not Pisk's accomplice.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, not surprised by the answer in his heart.

He didn't know why he suddenly doubted Jiang Xia. Thinking about it now, it should be just a necessary step to eliminate the truth when encountering a problem--a detective should doubt everyone equally before finding the truth. people.

Conan nodded secretly, perfectly rounding up his intuitive guess that jumped out suddenly.

In addition, the Megure Police Department said that there were two people who lost their handkerchiefs at the time... Conan was eating without appetite, and at the same time began to quickly pass through the information of the two celebrities who lost their handkerchiefs, intending to find out a "cover" members of the organization who passed Pisk".Also, there appeared to be a few people who were the first to leave after getting the purple handkerchiefs, or maybe they gave the handkerchiefs to Pisk before they left.

……

Jiang Xia briefly observed Conan's expression, and found that there was no exaggerated acting skills, and he was not observing him, so he knew that Conan had indeed dispelled his doubts.

Hui Yuan Ai seemed to be distracted while cooking today, the dishes were very salty.

She obviously ate it herself. Halfway through the meal, she silently put down her chopsticks, made some tea, and brought it out to several people.

Just as Jiang Xia picked up a cup, before he could blow it off, he suddenly heard a commotion at the door.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps and twittering conversations got closer, and the door was pushed open—the young detective team came to the doctor's house.

The restaurant is some distance away from the gate.The three children of the Detective Boys did not find Jiang Xia.

Today is a working day, and they came to school with Conan, and more importantly, to remind Dr. Ali:
"Remember to invite us to watch Gomera's movie, it was agreed before!"

Dr. A Li was taken aback, and then touched the back of his head in embarrassment.

... He really forgot.

Seeing that Jiang Xia glanced in the direction of the gate, Huiyuan seemed interested in what the children were talking about, so he explained in a low voice:
"A while ago, the children helped the doctor solve the puzzle on the postcard and met his first love. The doctor promised to invite them to watch a movie as a thank you, but..."

"But at the time I forgot that there was still a school. I have a business trip to Kyushu this week, and I'm leaving in the afternoon..." Dr. A Li said guiltily, "How about next time?"

The three children were extremely disappointed, and pouted their mouths, ready to condemn the untrustworthy adults.

At this moment, a voice came from the side:
"Why don't I go with them, I just happen to be fine recently."

This familiar voice made the Boy Detective Team stiffen.

The next second, the three heads shook neatly, looked at the source of the sound, and saw that it was indeed Jiang Xia, and the faces of the three brats turned pale.

...With Jiang Xia, it's better not to watch it.

Although Conan and Huiyuan Ai have repeatedly said that Jiang Xia will not beat children, the three children are not stupid, and sometimes they are even very sharp-they can see that Conan and Huiyuan Ai's eyes flutter every time they say such things , the tone is not very sure, obviously I don't know whether Jiang Xia will beat the bear children like those bad guys... The children who have witnessed Jiang Xia's beatings countless times do not want to be with him.

But Dr. A Li apparently forgot about this. Hearing Jiang Xia's suggestion, his eyes lit up: "Okay, it happens that you two have a smaller age difference. Compared with being with me, you should have more common topics, hahaha."

The Detective Boys tremblingly raised their little hands, trying to make a weak protest, interrupting the topic: "No..."

"Is it bad? Why?" Jiang Xia got up and approached, and said in a joking tone, "If you hide from me, I will be very sad."

"..."

Seeing his approaching figure, the three children squeezed each other subconsciously, and quickly arranged a series of equations in their minds.

sad = bad mood =...

In their minds came the waving sticks, the librarian's tragic howl that resounded through several floors in the middle of the night, the psychiatrist with a gun who was kicked and rolled around in the street, and the pain in the old villa. The bandit who called Poyin would rather die than die...

Hey wait, the last one doesn't seem to be done by brother Jiang Xia.

...but that's beside the point.The point is that I am afraid of him anyway, and I always feel that if I reject Jiang Xia, maybe one day they will be beaten by Jiang Xia with sacks on the way out of school. After all, although they themselves have a clear conscience, judging from the evaluation of the adults, they seem to be nothing. Peace of mind, good boy...

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, who was the most polluted by adult society, took the lead in waving the white flag.

He squeezed out a smile, and said with mixed feelings: "Why, I like watching movies with Brother Jiang Xia the most. Haha, ha..."

Yoshida Ayumi and Kojima Motota nodded in agreement as if chickens were pecking at rice.

Jiang Xia showed a faint smile, reached out and touched the heads of the three children, and said gently: "Then it's settled, I'll pick you up after school."

Conan: "..."

For a moment, he didn't know whether to sympathize with Jiang Xia who was rejected by the brats, or sympathize with the brats who no longer wanted to play with Jiang Xia but could only nod in agreement.

Having said that, Jiang Xia seems to like children quite a bit, although the children don't like him very much... But after getting along for a long time, the Boys' Detective Team will one day believe that Jiang Xia is a good person who doesn't beat children... Well, he probably won't hit him, right? As long as they don't break the law... Conan thought uncertainly.

……

After bidding farewell to the happy Dr. A Li and the cute children who are listless, Jiang Xia routinely skipped class and went to the detective agency.

There was still no invitation to pick up ghosts that he wanted in the mailbox.

Afterwards, Jiang Xia spent another day distributing the cats, but failed to receive the commission from Ghosts to Pick Up.

It was a fruitless day...but Jiang Xia was very calm because the day was not over yet.

——Fortunately, he found the Boy Detective Team at Dr. Ali's house early in the morning. These children who often attract murder cases will definitely not let him down.

Soon it will be time for elementary school to dismiss.

Jiang Xia closed the door of the office, stepped on the motorcycle, and drove to Didan Primary School with anticipation.

He also carried a map with the locations of all nearby movie theaters.At that time, let the children who are very sensitive to the case inspiration choose at will.

By the way, before watching the movie, you can treat them to a meal. In my impression, there are a lot of murders in restaurants...

Not long after, Jiang Xia came to the gate of Didan Primary School.

He parked the car opposite the school gate, leaned on the car, and looked at the beautiful and magnificent teaching buildings in the school.

……

Class B of the first grade.

Conan, who was about to leave school as usual, just put his schoolbag on his back when he was pressed back onto the chair by three hands:
"Don't go! It's rare that we transferred the duty to today, and we agreed to let Brother Jiang Xia's pigeons go together!"

"..." Conan sometimes felt that he couldn't understand the child's thinking, "You are afraid that he will be angry and beat others. But won't pigeon-offing him only make him more angry?"

"The day of duty is force majeure. As long as we don't say that we have been transferred to the day of duty, Brother Jiang Xia will not know." Guangyan thinks it is ok, "And as long as you find an excuse to escape today, you can push the time to watch movies to Dr. A Li When you're free, then naturally you don't need Brother Jiang Xia to take us there!"

Hui Yuanai next to him looked at his watch and yawned: "Then you guys clean up, I have to go back first."

There is still an experiment that has not been finished, and I have no time to accompany the children to hide from Jiangxia... Why do you want to hide from Jiangxia?He's not a bad guy... Well, even if he did something bad, it must be because of the mission of the organization.
