Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 484 Irresponsible Psychic Medium

As for now...

Jiang Xia looked down at the hand that snapped her fingers just now.

The bomb was assembled by an arsonist.

The fuze was pulled by the arsonist.

And he just happened to pass by, and happened to try a new skill nearby.

...If the arsonist hadn't pulled the fuse, he would have snapped his fingers until his hands were worn out, and the explosion just now would not have occurred... In short, what does all this have to do with a passing psychic.

——Jiang Xia expertly anesthetized her conscience.

Then he looked at the two scorched corpses by the river, to see if the shikigami had the same idea as him.

Monsters really don't appear that easily.

The body of the arsonist remained motionless—no ghosts emerged, no shikigami emerged, and it looked exactly like suicide.

As for Nagai Tatsuya, who was taken hostage, a fresh shikigami gradually emerged.

Shikigami stood in a daze for a moment, then slowly floated towards the corpse of the arsonist, and picked it up on the corpse's calf.

After pawing for a few seconds, it seemed that it felt that the touch was not right. It slowly raised a corner and looked up.

After a while, it was found that the arsonist's vital signs had completely disappeared, and Shikigami's obsession with revenge also dissipated.It loosened its strength and drifted away with the wind like a piece of paper.

It's a pity that before he floated to the distance of freedom, he was blocked by a mermaid ghost and hugged him.

The mermaid caught more than one shikigami.

She caught four of them.

——In addition to the shikigami transformed into by the hostage itself, there are two old shikigami hanging on the hostage's leg, and there is also one on the arsonist's leg.When they die, the shikigami are gone.

And the murderous aura from the hostages and the arsonist also fell off and drifted away with the death of the master.

The mermaid hugged the ghost, unable to free her hands to grab more things, she tried to raise her tail, but failed to catch the murderous spirit flying by.

Miss Spider behind her folded her sleeves and looked around, then spread out her eight sharp legs from behind, and precisely poked at the passing Murderous Qi.

Then she hung a murderous look on one side, like two light black veils, and gracefully floated back to Jiang Xia's side.

Unlike the appearance of the ghosts harvesting, the crowd of onlookers was very panicked at this time.

The explosion that happened at close range caused the melon-eaters to rush and flee in a panic.

In the chaotic flow of people, Saori Nishitani stared blankly at the place where the flames were rising, replaying the scene of the stalker being engulfed by the explosion in her mind, only feeling that a huge pie had hit her head, and her expression was blank.

After staying there for two or three seconds, her expression suddenly twisted, showing that she didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and there were big tears brewing in her eyes.But before the suppressed emotions erupted, the chaotic fleeing person bumped into her unintentionally, Xigu Saori let out a soft cry, and stumbled backwards.

However, before the stampede took shape, a hand stretched out from the side and held her firmly.

Saki Nishitani subconsciously held the arm of the kind-hearted man, and staggered to stand still.

She raised her head in shock, and saw that the person supporting her was a strange young man.

The well-meaning man appeared to be in his early twenties, wearing a black casual suit with no tie and open neckline.His hair seems to be a little naturally curly, slightly fluffy, but not messy, and there is a pair of light-colored sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

Looking at each other, the handsome man in black nodded slightly to her, and at the same time raised a hand naturally, and touched her side lightly.It looks like it's dusting off, or it looks like it's picking off something that's stuck on its clothes.

Before Saori Nishitani came back to her senses, the other party had already finished the action.

Then he withdrew his hand and asked politely, "Can you stand still?"

During the time delay, many people have already run far away from this dangerous explosion area.Saki Nishitani is now standing firmly, this is obviously a well-informed question.

However, the intention of the man in black asking this sentence is not difficult to understand.

——Saki Nishitani came back to her senses, and let go of the hand that was holding on to the opponent's arm to stabilize her figure: "I'm sorry...that, thank you just now."

Jiang Xia glanced at the fresh murderous aura she had just picked up from her body, and nodded to her friendlyly.

Then leave with the crowd and walk towards the guard hut where you came.

——The guard didn't return to his hut, probably out of fear, he reflexively ran towards the sunset with most of the people.

Jiang Xia then drove the new puppet, pushed the door skillfully and entered, and returned to the cabinet.Exiting here is the least likely to be seen by people with normal three views.

The moment the puppets were disbanded, the door of the guard room was pushed open with a bang.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice sounded from the door, with a hint of uncertainty and disbelief in the voice: "Matsuda?!"

...It was the voice of Police Officer Sato.

After reaching this conclusion, Jiang Xia silently tripled the speed of disbanding the puppets.

The puppet quickly collapsed into a large piece of shikigami and dissipated silently.

……

Matsuda Jinping used to be a bomb disposal expert in the mobile unit of the security department.

Seven years ago, after the death of his friend Hagiwara Kenji, Matsuda Jinpei insisted on transferring to find the culprit.

But the superiors also knew what he was thinking and were worried that he would be impulsive.It wasn't until three years ago that Matsuda Jinpei was transferred to the Serious Crime Unit of the First Investigation Section.After that, Matsuda Jinpei, as a "moe new", was taken by Miwako Sato for 7 days.

In the first six days of working together, the young police officer Sato was so angry with this unorganized and undisciplined colleague.

On the seventh day, the mysterious bomber made a sudden move—he sent a fax to the Metropolitan Police Department, marking the location of "No. 72, the Ferris Wheel of the Kudocho shopping mall" with a code.

Matsuda Jinping came here on invitation, and in order to get more clues about the criminals, he rushed forward in seconds.He was good at dismantling since he was a child, and since then he has accumulated a lot of experience in dismantling bombs. Dealing with this bomb mounted on a Ferris wheel is a piece of cake.

However, the prisoners don't talk about martial arts, and the competition is not about bomb disposal skills. The No. 72 Ferris wheel with Matsuda Jinpei was forced to stop in mid-air, and after the mercury rod was activated, the display screen of the bomb in the car showed the prisoner's advance plan. The message left, he wants to "play a game with the brave policeman".

——Three seconds before the explosion of the Ferris wheel bomb, a string of text will be displayed on the screen.

The bomber had installed a heavy bomb in a crowded place in advance.The screen of the bomb in the ferris wheel shows the location of the huge bomb.

In this case, if Matsuda Jinhei continued to dismantle the bomb and cut off the power supply, the display would lose its function, and the police would have no way of knowing where the other bomb was hidden.In this way, countless citizens may die.

But if he wanted to see the text on the screen, Matsuda Jinhei had no choice but to give up dismantling the bomb and wait to be killed.

——The bomber wanted to read the script of "the police disregarded the safety of the public in order to protect themselves", and then publicized it to retaliate against the police.
