Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 391 The Man in Black on Remote Standby × 2 Asking for a Monthly Pass ()
Misa Takeda was getting depressed day by day, until she picked up the cheerful Rob, who was physically disabled and strong, and her soul had a new sustenance.

Unexpectedly, after Rob recovered from his injury and left, he suddenly left her a note asking her to "die".

Takeda Misa was heartbroken, but thinking of all the previous relationships, he felt that Rob was not such a heartless person.

She was depressed for a few days, and suddenly remembered that when Rob first came, her father treated him very badly. It was not until Rob said that he would pay the family that Takeda Shinichi's attitude improved... Could it be that his father treated Rob? Unsatisfied with the remuneration, he clashed with Rob, and even directly blackmailed Rob, causing Rob to think that the "Mesa" who took care of him was also a part of the blackmail?
This kind of "misunderstanding" is better than going bad for no reason.Meisha grasped a glimmer of hope, and ran to ask in a daze. Because she hoped too much for a definite answer, her tone was sharper than usual, and finally she couldn't help but turned into a question.

And Takeda Shinichi had just finished taking the drug that day, and he was already very emotional. He was suddenly questioned by the "criminal evidence" that Mrs. Takeda Misa had fooled him, and he got angry for a while.When he came back to his senses, he had already strangled him to death.

After Takeda Shinichi woke up, he hung Takeda Misa into the puppet warehouse late at night.

At that time, the puppet warehouse had not been abandoned, so he found an excuse to go on a business trip and sent everyone else away.After several days, Takeda Yuzo, who was sent by him, went to pick up things from the puppet warehouse, only to find the terrible corpse hanging from the beam.At this time, the body was almost rotten, and Misa Takeda had experienced depression before. In the end, this incident was closed as a "suicide".

A few days later, Mrs. Juan Dai felt that she was also responsible for her daughter's "suicide", so she hanged herself in the warehouse.

...sounds horrible.

Jiang Xia calculated with her fingers, and felt that from Takeda Misa's point of view, besides herself, the blame for death could mainly be pinned on Rob and Takeda Nobuichi.

If Meisha's request is to kill Takeda Shinichi, this situation is easy to deal with. After all, Takeda Shinichi is indeed about to be brought to the dog...

And if it's Rob, then you have to change the wording and change "kill him" to "make him accept a certain punishment". After all, Rob has already killed a person, and he is indeed about to enter the game.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at the new ghost, and asked in a bewitching tone like a villain: "Who do you want to punish?"

Hearing this, Xingui raised her translucent Q-shaped little hand, silently fiddled with the bamboo hat hanging down from the top of her head, and lowered her eyes as if she was thinking.

She really hated Shinichi Takeda in her heart, but when she thought about Shinichi Takeda again, she suddenly found out that her child was born by her partner to someone else... Although she thought she was innocent, she felt that Shinichi Takeda's anger was also It's not groundless.

So although Takeda Misa wanted revenge, but her obsession was not that deep. After thinking about it, she really cared more about Rob's sentence "Go to death" - apart from the motivation exerted by hatred, this was even more curious, curious about a character Cheerful and always friendly to her, why did she suddenly say such exaggerated words.

The new ghost pondered for a moment, helped the bamboo hat on the top of her head, and solemnly asked Jiang Xia to sell her body.

—she wants to know why Rob wants her to "die".

That night, although Takeda Misa suspected that it was Takeda Shinichi who made a hindrance.But after asking at the cost of her life, she found that from Takeda Shinichi's reaction, the greedy father did not find an excuse to blackmail Rob as she thought.

So for Takeda Misa, Rob's transformation is still a mystery that makes her scratch her heart.

After Jiang Xia listened silently, she didn't expect the condition to be so simple.

But thinking about it carefully, for him, these conditions are actually not too different - except for "killing Rob", the others are equivalent to friendship gifts from Hattori classmates.

So he nodded, stretched out his finger, and touched the Q version of the small palm raised by the new ghost.

A faint stream of light flashed where they touched, which meant that the agreement was reached.After fulfilling her wish, Jiang Xia will be able to sign a contract with her and take the ghost back to her home.

After that, Jiang Xia rua took a look at this new ghost who had to be dismissed, and was a little curious about the purpose and follow-up of her request:
"What if at the end of the investigation, it is found that there is no reason for Rob's transformation, and he just wanted to play with you?"

The new ghost froze.

It seemed to follow this possibility into it, and soon, its whole ghost trembled slightly.In an instant, the eyes that should have been colorless turned bright red, and quickly condensed into several eye-like blood spots. The clothes on her back also wriggled and cracked, and eight spider legs with sharp gleams popped out.

The slender and sharp spider legs waved in the air, and Miss Spider let out a hoarse and angry roar, and then those spider legs suddenly went down, clasped the edge of the sink, and assumed a bouncing posture before jumping, which looked like I want to kill Rob right away, grab him and ask him for an explanation.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He raised his hand quickly in response, and the moment the spider ghost flew away, Paji patted it back and held it down.

Then he silently looked at the angry spider legs clasping his wrists and scratching his wrists, and the humanoid body that didn't change much from the new ghost, and fell into thought.

...how should I put it.A little surprised, but better than he thought.

At least a human figure with a few spider legs looks more impressive than a simple spider.

...and it also explains why she moves gracefully and slowly, but flees so fast that both a mermaid and a misty tengu would take a long time to catch.

Jiang Xia pinched one of the spider legs and shook it like a handshake: "Don't get excited, put your claws away first—I just said 'if'."

After nearly a minute, the spider ghost's legs let go of his hand, and slowly retracted from behind.

In a blink of an eye, the alien creature with eight legs on its back changed back into an elegant appearance in a kimono and a white gauze hat.

Now that the temporary contract has been signed, even if the spider ghost runs away again, it will be easy to catch next time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia let go of her hand and stopped pressing it.

Miss Spider didn't run anymore, she got up silently and turned 180° silently.

Then with his back to Jiang Xia, he raised his hand, as if secretly wiping tears.

...It does look like a ghost that is often depressed, occasionally a little manic, and autistic, not easy to raise.

However, in any case, it is better than the big spider.

……

After solving the matter of finding the ghost, Jiang Xia touched the head of the new ghost, turned and went back to the restaurant.

Although the spider ghost wanted to find out the truth, he already knew it.

But this ghost has stayed in Takeda's house for so long. After learning the truth, it will inevitably become emotional. It may keep beeping, or maintain the appearance of an angry spider with many legs.

But at present, the incident of Takeda Shinichi is not over yet, Jiang Xia can't leave immediately.He decided to wait for everything to be resolved, and when he was about to leave Puppet Peak, he would tell the ghost the truth, and then leave this sad place right away.This is good for the ghost and good for him...

……

When Jiang Xia returned to the restaurant, Takeda Shinichi raised his head from the table and glanced at him.

Takeda Shinichi felt that the detective had been away for a long time, so he guiltyly suspected that Jiang Xia had discovered something, and just now he made an excuse to leave and ran to confirm it alone.

but……

Takeda Shinichi touched the phone cord he had hidden there through his pocket.

——There is only one phone and one car at home, so communication and access are limited.Even if Jiang Xia finds out, it is impossible for him to report to the police.

Thinking of this, Takeda Shinichi was relieved again.

He nodded towards Jiang Xia, showed a hypocritical and polite smile, lowered his head and continued to eat.

……

After eating for a while, Takeda Shinichi left the table first.

"It's getting late, and I still have a puppet to hand over to work, so I have to go to work first." Then, he looked at Jiang Xia again, "I'll trouble you for the investigation."

Jiang Xia nodded.Watching Takeda Shinichi go out with Ms. Spider sitting on his small table.

Rob has also eaten his fill without knowing what to eat.

He deliberately didn't look at Takeda Shinichi who was leaving, but turned to Takeda Yuzo who was drinking happily:

"Can I borrow the car keys? I want to pay respects to Meisha at the tomb."

The Takeda family only had one car, and Rob came here by taxi, so he didn't have his own car.

"Okay." Takeda Yusan took out the key generously and handed it to him, and immediately remembered the current weather, "But it's getting late now, if you don't rush to leave, why don't you go tomorrow?"

Rob shook his head, and raised his camera naturally. He is a photographer: "The sky here is clear, the moon and stars are beautiful, and this time is just right."

"The moon and the stars?"

After Yuan Shan and Ye Lai came here, they couldn't connect to the Internet or play with their mobile phones.Feeling bored right now.

Hearing this, she immediately cheered up: "Can I go together?"

Rob can't wait for her to prove his absence: "Of course."

Jiang Xia glanced at the two, then turned to look at Hattori Heiji: "You go too."

Hattori Heiji was immediately alert.

Jiang Xia solved the case so much faster than him, and now he has to dismiss him and stay alone to investigate the case... Could it be that there is some important secret hidden here that Jiang Xia can't solve for a while, so it takes time?
What is the secret?This is too tempting...

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji's eyes brightened slightly, and he firmly refused: "I don't."

"..."

Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, stood up, patted the clothes, and caught up with Luo Bo and Yuan Shanhe who were about to go out:
"Wait, I'm going too."

...Now the murderer's psychological quality is getting worse and worse, just now he felt that Rob was a little wary of him.Although it is unlikely, Jiang Xia is really worried that if Rob leaves like this, he will take the two shikigami on his legs and abscond in fear of crime, and never come back.

Although Yuan Shan and Ye practiced aikido well, she didn't have much defense against Rob, and Rob was wearing an electric shock device. If he really wanted to run away, he would make a surprise attack. Yuan Shan and Ye People are not easy to stop.

Originally, I thought that if Hattori Heiji would also go, I would be able to watch people.But since he won't go... then forget it.

Jiang Xia remembered that according to Rob's plan, the moment they drove the truck out was the time when Shinichi Takeda died.

Next, those who stay will help clean up the dining table, be in a daze, find the dead body, break open the sealed door, look for clues, and so on.

Since Hattori Heiji wants to take the initiative to take over these troublesome things, let him do it.

And solving the case can also let Hattori Heiji come.

Jiang Xia finally received a long-awaited invitation letter from afar. He always felt that if he came to the door and the sender died suddenly, and this incident was reported, the impact would not be very good, and it would be easy to dispel some superstitious people. The motivation to send letters.

Although the case this time is fancy and exciting, and has greatly increased his popularity, but now, he really doesn't need too much fame.

……

Hattori Heiji sat at the dining table, staring at the backs of the three people disappearing outside the door one by one, slightly taken aback.

...I always feel that something is not right.And Jiang Xia left too decisively.

After thinking for a while, Hattori Heiji felt that he understood.

——According to what Yoko Takeda said at the table just now, the fish for dinner today is bought according to the number of people.

But there were only two fish missing, and today three people suddenly visited: him, He Ye, and Rob Taylor.

The quantity does not match.

This means that today, the Takeda family actually has another scheduled guest.

Although there is no way to be sure that person is Rob, but with such a calculation, Rob is indeed suspicious... If this is the case, it would be dangerous for He Ye to go to the stars with Rob alone, no wonder Jiang Xia feels that someone needs to go with Ye .

Having said that, look at the stars...

What's so nice about the stars.

Hattori Heiji poked the rice in the bowl unhappily, and then began to think about the case of the Takeda family from the beginning, hoping to sort out some ideas.

It is rare that Jiang Xia is not around, he must find the murderer who killed Akio Negishi and solve the case before Jiang Xia returns from seeing the stars.

Hattori Heiji sorted out the clues he discovered just now in his mind, full of energy.

……

Yuan Shan and Ye Wen asked where they were looking at the stars, and learned that it was nearly an hour's drive away, so they ran to the bathroom first.

When she left, Jiang Xia stood under the eaves, looking up at the starry sky at a 45° angle, pretending to appreciate the scenery of the mountains.

Seeing this, Rob secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked quickly to the side of the truck, pretending to be proficient in this car, but actually sorted out his killing equipment.

——A few days ago, Rob hung Akio Negishi to death in the storage room, and after taking away a puppet containing drugs, he set up a motorized hanging device on the second floor of the puppet warehouse.

Just now Takeda Nobuichi left first, in fact, because Rob had called him anonymously in advance, using the stolen drug puppet, and asked to meet in the warehouse on the second floor tonight.

Rob stood beside the truck, looking up in the direction of the warehouse through the dim light in the yard.

Takeda Shinichi was inside right now.

In addition, a strong fishing line, thin and invisible in the night, extended from the window of the second-floor warehouse and was attached to the truck.

Everything is ready, just a kick of the gas pedal.

Rob took a deep breath, and when Jiang Xia and Yuan Shanhe Ye walked towards the car, he took out the hidden air gun through the truck, and fired a few BB rounds at the warehouse window.
