Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 31 is the doctor’s question

  Mao Lilan climbed the bridge and fell to the ground.

   However, when he arrived at the scene, Jiang Xia had already stopped.

   At this time, in Mao Lilan’s perspective, Jiang Xia was standing at the corpse… ah no, standing next to the murderer who was still alive.

   He looked at the child behind the tree, his expression was calm, but he felt a little depressed.

  Mao Lilan thought of the little boy who quickly hid behind the tree, guessing that Jiang Xia was stabbed by the bear child’s actions and hurt his fragile heart.

  …Children are too much.

  Mao Lilan walked to Jiang Xia and thanked the child: “Thank you for saving that child.”

   After a while, he couldn’t help but add: “That… When you are brave in the future, don’t be so serious, just subdue them and let the law punish them.”

  Jiangxia: “…”

   He recalled all kinds of pictures of Mao Lilan smashing the telephone pole with one punch, kicking the wall with one kick, and a Lushan Shenglongba making criminals spin to the sky…

  …Are you worthy of saying that?

   Jiang Xia turned his head and looked at Mao Lilan’s angel-like face.

   looked at her fist, which seemed to be very thin.

   ate the slot back and nodded, “I know.”

  …

   The other three did not climb the bridge, but ran down the road honestly.

   There is a police station nearby. When they arrived, so did the police.

   is the police of Maorilan.

   Her hands were too fast. When Jiang Xia recovered, Mao Lilan was already reporting the address to the police.

   The Ogino father on the ground failed to be redeemed. Seeing that his plan failed, he let out an unwilling roar.

   Dr. Ogawa hugged his son tightly, watching Ogino being escorted into the police car with mixed feelings, and decided to go to the bank to transfer money to Ogino immediately, fearing that he would be targeted again with this life-saving money.

  …

   The next day, Jiang Xia went to the police station again.

   Supplementary records.

   By the way, after Ogino was arrested, did you regret it? If you do, you might be able to pick up some murderous aura along the way.

When    left the police station, Jiang Xia looked at his watch and found that it was just past noon and it was still early.

   There is no exam today, no class.

  The raw materials of ghost mint have just been planted, and new ones have not grown yet, so there is no need to rush home.

   Jiang Xia habitually turned to the office.

  Although at present, there are not many murder cases found on the head of the office, but fame needs to be accumulated.

   Maybe one day, there will be guests with ghosts, and Amway, an old customer who has come to look for cats, will come over.

   And in the office, in addition to the murder case, there is a certain chance to squat to the randomly refreshed Amuro Toru.

   Jiang Xia also remembered the murderous hot pot smell of Doctor Kazuto.

   And the target of Kazuto Kyosuke’s killing was the police after all, and Amuro Toru might be in charge.

  If the police took the initiative to arrest the person, then Jiang Xia only needed to go to the police station for a walk after Dr. Fengto was arrested, and then Xiaobai would be able to take out the murderous aura.

  In a legal society, especially in this world, murderous intent is easy to find.

  …

When    turned into the office street, Jiang Xia took out the door key.

   But, when he got closer, he saw that the door was open—there was someone inside.

  Jiang Xia crossed the entrance doubtfully and entered the room to take a look.

   Amuro Toru appeared in the office rarely.

   And he also brought a client, at this time, he was serving tea to the client.

  …There are tricks.

   Jiang Xia looked at the client. There was no ghost or murderous intent on this person.

   Jiang Xia was a little puzzled. He was about to listen to the content of the commission, but was stopped by An Shitou: “You wait outside first.”

   “…” Jiang Xia nodded, “Okay.”

   He retreated to the outside and closed the door thoughtfully.

  The doors and walls here have good sound insulation.

  …However, with just a little soundproofing material, you want to stop a ghostly medium?

   Jiang Xia felt that there should be a disdainful snort here.

   But there must be a lot of eavesdroppers wherever Amuro Toru passed by.

   So Jiang Xia maintained the surface courtesy.

   He sat on the waiting bench and summoned the ghost baby.

  The ghost baby consciously climbed onto Jiang Xia’s shoulder and put a stick on his ear.

   Jiang Xia’s hearing moved to the ghost.

After   , Xiaobai consciously rushed to the door, and went in with a grunt against the door.

   In Jiang Xia’s ears, the voice in the room suddenly became clear.

  …

   Jiang Xia overheard for a while and found that it seemed to be an ordinary commission.

  —The client’s home was stolen, and the money and jewelry were not lost, except for a pottery. The next day, the client found shards of broken pottery nearby.

   This kind of stealing with unknown purpose makes the client feel cold behind his back.

   He called the police, but the police could not find out.

   After the client got off work, he complained to his friends about it at an izakaya.

   On the way, the part-time worker in the izakaya asked him if he wanted to find a detective—this part-time worker was, of course, Toru Amuro.

   So the client was fooled.

   Jiang Xia thought for a while, but did not remember that there was a similar case in the original work.

   There are a few pieces related to pottery, but the details obviously do not match the number.

  …It’s probably just an organization’s task, um, maybe it’s the police.

  …

   Not long after, Amuro left the client’s contact information and sent him out.

   Jiang Xia retrieved the ghost baby, along with the hearing, got up to help him see off the guests, and by the way looked for a chance to talk.

  Amuro finished sending the people off, and when he turned around, he found that there was another one behind him. He suddenly remembered Jiang Xia’s request for leave yesterday.

   seems to mean going to the hospital.

   So Amuro asked casually: “How is it?”

   Jiang Xia hesitated.

   Amuro was startled.

   He originally just asked casually, because he felt that Jiang Xia looked normal. Going to the hospital should only be a routine checkup.

   But now, why does Jiang Xia look like this…

   Amuro Toru felt a secret: “What happened?”

  … It’s not like he didn’t go to the hospital for a long time, and he developed a terminal illness.

   However, things were different from what he thought.

   Jiang Xia pondered: “That doctor… I always feel that he has killed people before.”

   Amuro Toru: “?”

   Jiang Xia continued: “And my intuition tells me that everything is not over yet, and maybe similar things will happen in the future.”

   Amuro Toru: “…” He rolled up his sleeves subconsciously, his eyes sharpened.

   He suspected that Jiang Xia’s current mental state was not very normal.

   Could it be that he went to the hospital and was reminded of bad memories, so the disease that has been suppressed suddenly became severe, and there was an extra persecution paranoia?

  …Just to be on the safe side, it’s best to bring someone over to check it out.

   Jiang Xia felt that Amuro’s expression was a bit strange.

   He took a step back and added the code again: “And he has a gun in his bag, I can’t read it wrong.”

   Actually, Xiaobai saw the gun.

   However, it’s his ghost anyway, and the rounding is what he sees.

“Yes…”

  Amuro Toru finally reacted to the “gun” message and began to think about another possibility.

   Psychological communication usually means back and forth. During this process, even if the doctor intentionally controls it, it is difficult to completely hide his thoughts and mentality.

   I heard that some people are very sensitive in this regard, and Jiang Xia is not an ordinary depression patient. On the contrary, he is related to the organization and has really come into contact with many murderers who have killed people.

  Amuro Toru slowly realized the seriousness of the problem.

  The Cardiology Department of Rice Flower Yakushiye Hospital is very famous. As far as he knows, many police officers will also go there to register.

   If the doctor really has a problem…

   However, no matter what you think in your heart, you can’t say it on your face.

   “You think too much.” Toru Amuro put down the rolled up cuffs again.

  He decided to check the doctor first.

   Anyway, Jiang Xia is in Tokyo and can’t run. If you find that there is nothing wrong with the doctor, you can go back and deal with the doctor.

   Amuro Toru added: “However, since he will make you have such thoughts, it means that the doctor is not suitable for you, so please change to another hospital next time.”

   Jiang Xia nodded and said nothing more.

   Going further, the intention is too obvious.

  In that case, in order to hide his identity, the undercover comrade would definitely not go to Dr. Futo, and Jiang Xia had to do it himself.

  …

  Amuroto was still very busy today, and after a few chats with Jiang Xia, there was one more job on the heavy work list.

   He didn’t stay any longer and left soon.

   Jiang Xia was about to lock the door, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the magazine rack in the porch, and immediately stopped.

   On the shelf, there is a familiar book.

   Jiang Xia walked over, took it out, and found that it was a detective booklet borrowed from the library.

   This was brought over when he applied for a job.

   Later, he really turned into an apprentice, and Jiang Xia forgot to take the book away.

  The period for borrowing books in Rice Flower Library is relatively short, and ordinary citizens can only borrow books for 14 days.

   Jiang Xia looked at the date and found that it just hasn’t passed. Next time I want to randomly come to these 14 days, I don’t know how long I have to wait, why don’t I take advantage of now, and hurry up…

   Thinking so, Jiang Xia looked at his watch and found that it was not yet time to get off work.

   So I got on my motorcycle and went straight to the library.

  …

   Amuro Toru did not come forward by himself.

   He routinely sent the information of Kazuto Kyosuke to his subordinates, and asked them to investigate.

   Of course, he emphasized the need to act in secrecy. Even if the problem is really found, Kyusuke Kazuto must be “accidentally” exposed, and others must not know that this is a purposeful investigation.

  Otherwise, Jiang Xia on the front foot said there was something wrong with that person, and the person on the back foot would be arrested… Jiang Xia was not stupid.

  …

   Jiang Xia was racing all the way. When he arrived at the library, he glanced at his watch and found that it was more than half an hour before he got off work.

   He took off his helmet, hung it on the handlebar, and walked to the library door with the book.

   However, when he got closer, the door was locked. It was already off work.

   Jiang Xia was stunned, walked over to the notice board by the door and looked at it, and found that today was a holiday, and the library left work two hours earlier.

   Jiang Xia held the book in his hand and looked at the darkness inside the door, a little disappointed.

   He was about to turn and leave. But at this moment, Xiaobai suddenly became energetic – it found something to eat.

   The distance is a bit far, Jiang Xia couldn’t sense it.

   However, Xiaobai was obviously looking inside the library.

   So the ghost it senses, or murderous aura, should also be inside.

  This library does not have anti-theft windows.

  Jiang Xia circled the library for half a circle, walked to a remote corner of the building, and found a locked window.

   He stopped at the window and raised his hand.

   A few pieces of Shikigami flew out lightly, slipped through the window, and landed on the floor of the library, gradually condensing into a Nendoroid-like puppet.

   Jiang Xia hesitated between “throw the ghost baby in, let it generate a suitable puppet, and open the puppet to check the situation” and “go in by myself”.

   But soon, Jiang Xia realized that the size of the puppets generated by the ghost fetus has a lot to do with the ghost fetus itself.

   In other words, throwing Xiaobai into the Nendoroid puppet will generate at most a stronger child.

  If there is an emergency in the library, it will delay a lot of things.

   Jiang Xia finally chose the latter and went in by himself.

   He manipulated the Nendoroid-like puppet and opened the locked window.

After   , Jiang Xia turned into the library from the window.

   The moment he landed, the puppet collapsed into a paper shikigami again, and disappeared into the tattoo on his heart.
