Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 386 Gin is actually a scum asking for a monthly ticket (^^)
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia said calmly:

"It doesn't count as acquaintances, but I feel that he reacts quickly and is very enthusiastic. In the scene just now, if another person suddenly opened the door, he might only be frightened by the passing gun... No, if you are afraid of trouble, you should hear someone falling outside the box. Many passengers were afraid to open the door because of the smashing, but that gentleman was able to stop Gayerez from getting the gun, which is considered a big help to me.”

Conan: "..."

It sounds like Jiang Xia's first impression of gin was not only good, it was simply very good.

...Things really went in the direction he least wanted to see.

Conan looked at Jiang Xia with complicated eyes, and wanted to ask: What about your keen insight that immediately recognizes the murderer at a glance at the crime scene?
But after thinking about it, I realized that this is actually normal.

——After all, human beings are different from physical evidence. The latter has no thoughts, while the former is very cunning.

Jiang Xia is not good at distinguishing scumbags, perhaps it is because those scumbags want to use Jiang Xia, so they always behave kindly to him.And even if there is a purpose, this kind of friendliness is indeed real.

So Jiang Xia only discerned this kind of "sincere" attitude, and unfortunately confused the scumbags' sinister sincerity with another kind of pure sincerity, so things became like this.

... Fortunately, I discovered the clue in time.

Conan pushed his glasses, feeling a sense of accomplishment in successfully pulling Jiang Xia up to the shore before Jiang Xia slipped into the abyss.

At the same time, my conscience, which was pricked because I wanted to slander others behind my back, became less painful.

"Well, speaking of it, I have actually seen him before..." Conan took a deep breath, took out all the acting skills he had honed so far, and whispered to Jiang Xia, "By the way, what I told you today, You must never tell anyone."

Conan deliberately added the latter sentence, so as not to spread the matter to the ears of insiders, and Jiang Xia would find out that it was fake, which would arouse Jiang Xia's desire to explore the black organization.

Although saying to other people "I tell you a secret, you must not tell others" is equivalent to opening a world broadcast.

But Conan felt that he knew Jiang Xia quite well—Jiang Xia promised not to tell others, so he really would not confide a word.That should be safe enough.

Hearing this, Jiang Xia glanced down at Conan.

Seeing the serious and uneasy expression of this fake kid, he guessed that Kudo-san was going to tell him that "there is actually a mysterious and vicious organization in black in the world".

At this time, the train had started running again, and the movement of the wheels running over the track, the sound of the wind outside, and the noise from the vehicle body gradually became louder, making it difficult for people outside to hear the noise inside.

Jiang Xia asked the ghost to go around again, and found that no one was eavesdropping, so he nodded and signaled Conan to elaborate, while thinking about what kind of expression he should show when he heard about the black organization.

Well, there must be a little bit of surprise, there must be some disbelief, and a little bit of "I have always thought it was wrong but there is no evidence" suddenly realizes...

Jiang Xia quickly got ready to listen to the "secret".

However, what he didn't expect was that when Conan approached, the mysterious words that he said were:

"Actually, that person came to Uncle Maoli to make a few commissions before. The content was to follow the enemies in life so that he could catch the opponent, to investigate the situation of the cheating partner's original partner, and to feel that the cat in the neighbor's house was too noisy. Things like finding a suitable and non-illegal location in the yard to poison cats..."

Jiang Xia: "...?"

Although the object of the slander was the bloody villain Gin Jiu, when Conan said these words at the beginning, he still had to press his conscience hard.

However, after opening his head, he immediately felt a lot smoother.

Conan looked at Jiang Xia's shocked expression, and gradually found the feeling.

He then cleared his throat and continued to describe in detail.

……

Ten minutes later, Jiang Xia, who had been gossip-filled, sat on the bed in a daze and rubbed her ears.

His ears are not clean...

Also, is Conan crazy?
no, not quite like...

Combined with that kind of jerky acting skills, I always feel that this fake kid actually has another purpose, um... According to the kind of gin described by Conan who is scumbag in terms of life, public morality, feelings, and morals... Could it be that he is here to provoke alienated?
After all, such a scumbag, normal people will walk around when they meet.

Moreover, the "gin" in Conan's words has been jumping on the bottom line of morality and the edge of law, so even a detective with a strong sense of justice would not want to deal with such a person...

After nearly a minute, Jiang Xia recovered from the astonishing gossip and vaguely understood Conan's purpose.

Then lost in thought.

... Kudo-san is really talented.

Jiang Xia found that this was inconsistent with his two previous predictions - Conan told him about the organization, he approached the black organization under the pretext of getting information;

... In the future, in public places, as expected, try to avoid the members of the organization as much as possible.

I really can’t avoid it, and if I’m seen acting with Gin again, I can only find reasons to expose Conan’s lies today, such as “It’s hard to imagine that there are such scumbags in the world, so I observed it secretly and found out that I told you different", and went to investigate accordingly.

Of course, this is the hole card that can only be used at the last moment.

Because, if he said that, the smaller detective would feel dead because of it, and would avoid him from now on, and stop making cases for him. It's so difficult, he obviously just wants to gather some murderous spirits, pick up some ghosts, and live a peaceful life of becoming stronger...

……

Not long after the police boarded the train, the vehicle continued to move, but there was still some time before the arrival station.

Since the murderer who shot Boss Izumo was caught on the spot, and the police had already figured out the murderer's method and motive, they didn't pay much attention to the other passengers.

Not only Jiang Xia, but everyone else also returned to the box one after another, either to catch up on sleep, or to pack their luggage.

Jiang Xia didn't sleep all night, but picked up a lot of murderous intent.

He thought of tomorrow... no, it's already early morning... he remembered that he would arrive in Tottori Prefecture today, and the case of the spider mansion in Tottori Prefecture was waiting for him, so he went to the smoking area and ordered a ghost mint—— The murderous spirit of Yuelize is present, and a little bit of apple flavor is added to enhance the taste, which is very fresh.

It's just that when it is sucked up, a greedy mermaid will hang on the hand, which is a bit heavy.

Although I couldn't eat a whole stick, but this time the ghost mint has added high-end murderous aura after all.With energy replenished, Jiang Xia's exhaustion all night was swept away. He disposed of the cigarette butts and returned to his box.

As soon as his thoughts became clear, Jiang Xia immediately remembered that something seemed to be missing this time.

Thinking about it carefully, in this case in the original plot line, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo also came back from the United States-Yusaku Kudo saw the report about the robbery of Keitaro Izumo’s jewelry store, and he remembered that he had been robbed a long time ago. The lost manuscript of the novel felt that the situation was wrong, so he returned to Japan with Yukiko Kudo to see if there would be a case.

...But now, the two of them didn't show up.Maybe it's because Yusaku Kudo has been busy recently and didn't pay attention to the case reports here.

It's a good thing they didn't come, mainly because Yusaku Kudo didn't come - although the big Kudo's strength is worrying, but his brain is very easy to use, the combination of father and son is really not as easy to fool as having only one son.

Anyway, good luck.

……

The murder took a lot of time.At noon, the train carrying the two bodies arrived in Tottori Prefecture late.

Jiang Xia finished his notes in the car, left his contact information for the police in Tottori Prefecture, got off the car and left.

At this time, the gin and vodka had already gone to pick up the car-the organization also has a branch in Tottori Prefecture, and they prepared the car for gin in advance.

Conan dawdled for a while, and found that the gin and vodka left first, and after a while, Jiang Xia got out of the car.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, feeling that the plan to prevent the two parties from contacting had succeeded—Gin Jiu really forgot to threaten the innocent detective because of business... Thinking of this, Conan waved goodbye to Jiang Xia in a good mood, and followed Mori Kogoro and Mao Lilan took a taxi to attend the class reunion.

Jiang Xia looked at the backs of the three people, and felt an urge to follow them for a moment—these three people walked side by side, no matter how they looked, they looked like something was going to happen around them, which was extremely attractive.

But after thinking about it, he actually didn't have much impression of "Moori Kogoro's wedding banquet".

In other words, the probability of an accident over there is not high.

In comparison, it really is the goal of the organization - the spider mansion is more worth visiting.

"Spider Mansion" is actually a nickname, referring to the Takeda family who lived on Puppet Peak.

Puppet Peak is the name of a mountain.Near it, the legend of the monster "Spider-sama" once spread, and related temples were built.

A few years ago, the current head of the Takeda family, Takeda Shinichi, expanded the site, demolished the spider temple, and built his own warehouse.

Later, people hanged themselves in that warehouse one after another. The body of the deceased was found too late, and his body was covered with spider webs. People nearby said that the Takeda family was cursed by Lord Spider.

In addition, the Takeda family is famous for making puppets, and the puppets need to be manipulated with thin wires, so their family has an additional name of "Spider Mansion".

And Takeda Shinichi, the patriarch of the Takeda family, is actually a member of the drug trafficking line that will be cleaned up this time.

Of course, for Jiang Xia, the more important thing is that Takeda Shinichi is actually one of the protagonists in a murder case...

Now, although Conan went to the wedding banquet, it doesn't matter, there is Hattori Heiji here - as far as Jiang Xia knows, Hattori classmates in Kansai also have the ability to attract murders, especially good at attracting serial murders.

As for whether Hattori Heiji will come today, Jiang Xia thinks it is not a big problem.

—— Hattori Shizuka, that is, Hattori Heiji's mother, after she returned to Osaka from Tokyo last time, she somehow heard about Jiang Xia's perfect score.Although Hattori Heiji's results are also very good, compared with Jiang Xia, it seems that there is a lot of room for improvement.

Hattori Jinghua felt that Jiang Xia's state of combining study and solving cases was very good, and would communicate with him every now and then.

Jiang Xia was also able to hear a lot of information from the enthusiastic aunt. For example, Hattori Heiji recently received a commission letter with money in it. In order to pay back the money, he had to go to the Spider Mansion in Tottori Prefecture to handle the case today. coming.

...Thinking of this, at the station, Jiang Xia struggled to look away from the backs of her two classmates and her father, packed her luggage, and prepared to leave the station.

Before leaving the station, he looked at the floor plan.

Then send a message to Gin:
[See you at Exit 5]
Exit No. 5 is the farthest from the taxi point, and Mori Kogoro would not pass by that direction to find his classmates. It is the least likely place for righteous detectives to see "Jiang Xia is in private contact with members of the mysterious organization."

If the problem cannot be solved by choosing a site, and you are so unlucky that you are witnessed on the spot, then you can only blame the leader: He said that he happened to meet enthusiastic Gin Jiu when he left the station, and he insisted on inviting him for a ride. Such enthusiasm must have another purpose. To find out, he ventured into the car, just like Kudo Shinichi took the risk of following gin and vodka in order to find out...

Reasonable, in short, very reasonable.

While thinking about it boredly, Jiang Xia followed the flow of people to Exit No. 5.

As soon as he went out, he saw an ordinary-looking Honda parked on the side of the street, with a relatively rare deep black sun film on the window to block his sight.

Jiang Xia secretly looked around, but she didn't see any strange elementary school students, nor any suspicious taxis passing by.

So he quickly stepped forward and opened the door, and sat in the back seat, which was the least visible.

In the front row is the familiar driver vodka and his big brother gin.

After confirming that he got on the wrong bus, Jiang Xia leaned back in the chair with confidence and waited for the stop to pick up ghosts.

The car leaves soon.

After walking for a while, Jiang Xia gradually sat up straight.

He looked at the strange scenery outside the window, his eyes slightly puzzled:
"This doesn't seem to be the way to the Spider Mansion."

Gin raised his phone: "The eyeliner here caught two mice, let's go and deal with them on the way first."

Jiang Xia was startled.

He glanced at the location information displayed on Gin's phone, calculated the distance again, and suggested: "Let's go separately, I have to go to the Spider Mansion first, and I made an appointment with someone earlier."

... have an appointment with someone?

Gin gave him a silent look.

Shouldn't the mission itinerary be planned by him? Could it be that Wu Zuo has tampered with it in advance?

Seeing this, Jiang Xia opened the backpack, reached in and touched it, and quickly found two folded letter papers.

He took out one of them and handed it to Gin:

"Actually, a while ago, I received a commission."

For Jiang Xia, the anonymous letter from the murderer sent from Moon Shadow Island a week ago seemed to be the beginning of good luck.

——The day before the business trip, Jiang Xia found another entrustment letter from the mailbox of the office.

It was sent by Shinichi Takeda, the owner of the Spider Mansion, who also carried 50 yen in cash in the letter.

Takeda Shinichi did not write the specific content of the entrustment in the letter. He only said that he was invited to conduct a secret investigation on important matters.
