Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 31 It's the doctor's problem Ask for a monthly ticket ()

Mao Lilan climbed the bridge, and landed on 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 next to the murderer who was still alive. He looked at the child behind the tree with a calm expression, but he always felt unhappy.

Mao Lilan thought of the child who quickly hid behind the tree, and guessed that Jiang Xia was stabbed in the heart by the bear's evasive behavior.

... The kid is too good.

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

After a while, I couldn't help but add: "Well... in the future, when you act bravely, don't be so harsh. Just subdue them and let the law punish them."

Jiang Xia: "..."

He recalled all kinds of images of Mao Lilan smashing the telephone pole with his fist, cracking the wall with his kick, and a Lushan Shenglongba making criminals spin into the sky...

... Doesn't your conscience ache?

Jiang Xia turned her head and looked at Mao Lilan's angelic face.

He looked at her seemingly slender fist again.

Silently swallowed what he wanted to say, nodded: "I know."

...

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

There happens to be a police station near here.

When the three arrived, the police had already arrived.

The Ogino father on the ground failed to be redeemed. Seeing his plan fail, he growled unwillingly.

Doctor Ogawa hugged his son tightly, watching Ogino being escorted into the police car with complicated emotions. After he decided to settle down with his son, he immediately went to the bank to transfer 25 million to Ogino, not wanting to touch the money for his life.

...

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

Supplementary notes.

By the way, let's see if Papa Ogino's murderous spirit has gone.

When you're done, leave the police station.

Jiang Xia looked at his watch and found that it was just after noon and it was still early.

There is no exam today, no class.

The raw materials of ghost mint have just been planted, and the new ones haven't grown yet, so don't worry about going home.

...

Jiang Xia habitually turned to Amuro Detective Agency.

Although at present, there are not many murder cases found on the head of the firm.

But fame needs to be accumulated. Maybe one day, there will be customers with murderous looks, and the old customers who are looking for cats will come over.

And in the office, in addition to the murder case, there is a certain chance of squatting at the randomly refreshed Toru Amuro—the undercover agent sent by the police to organize.

——Jiang Xia was still thinking about Dr. Futo's murderous smell of hot pot.

The target of Fudo Kyosuke's murder was the police after all, and Toru Amuro might intervene.

If the police take the initiative to arrest him, then Jiang Xia only needs to take a walk around the police station after Dr. Fenghu is arrested, and Xiao Bai will be able to take out the murderous aura.

In a society ruled by law, especially in this world, murderous aura does not seem to be difficult to suppress.

...

Jiang Xia came to the door of the office and took out the door key.

However, when he got closer, he found that the door was unlocked—someone was inside.

Jiang Xia walked through the entrance suspiciously, and went into the room to have a look.

I saw Toru Amuro, who rarely appeared in Amuro Detective Agency.

And he also brought a client. At this time, he was sitting opposite the client, listening attentively, as if preparing to accept the commission.

Jiang Xia: "..."

... There are tricks.

——Amuro Toru personally received it, which means that the opposite person is likely to be a person with a story, which will lead to some cases full of ghosts and murderous intentions...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia approached lightly, wanting to hear the content of the commission.

However, Amuro saw it sharply and stopped him: "You wait outside first."

"..." Jiang Xia nodded, "Okay."

He withdrew to the outer room and closed the door graciously.

The doors and walls here have been sound-proofed, and when the door is closed, the conversation inside cannot be heard.

...However, just a little sound insulation material, and you want to stop a ghostly psychic?

...

Jiang Xia sat on the waiting bench and summoned the baby ghost.

Xiao Bai consciously climbed onto Jiang Xia's shoulder and pressed it against his ear.

Jiang Xia's hearing ability instantly shifted to the ghost's body.

After that, Xiaobai rushed towards the soundproof door very consciously, and walked in with a murmur.

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

...

Jiang Xia drove a ghost, eavesdropped for a while, and gradually understood the situation.

——A few days ago, the client’s home was stolen, and none of the money and jewelry was lost, except for a precious pottery.

Thought he was a tasteful thief who only stole works of art.

Unexpectedly, the client found the pottery fragments that had been deliberately broken near his home the next day.

"..." Not for money, nor for art, but also violently smashed the newly acquired pottery, as if venting anger... This kind of behavior with unknown purpose made the client feel hairy.

He called the police, but they found nothing.

Later, when the client was in a coffee shop, he was complaining about the matter to his friends.

A passing waiter suggested that he try to find a detective.

So they came to Amuro Detective Agency - the enthusiastic waiter, of course, was Toru Amuro who "coincidentally" worked in a coffee shop.

...

While eavesdropping on the case, Jiang Xia recalled the plots she had seen, but did not remember similar cases happening.

There are a few pieces related to pottery, but the details are not right.

Jiang Xia: "..." Maybe it has nothing to do with the case, but just the task of the organization. Of course, it may also be the police.

...

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

Jiang Xia took back the baby ghost, and also took back her hearing. She got up to help Amuro Tou see off the guests, and looked for opportunities to talk to her.

After Anshi Tou finished sending people off, he turned around and found that there was another person behind him, and suddenly remembered that Jiang Xia asked for leave to go to the hospital yesterday.

So he casually expressed condolences: "How is it? Are you all right?"

Jiang Xia hesitated to speak.

Amuro was taken aback.

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

But now, why does the employee have such an expression...

Toru Amuro felt that something was hidden, and he concentrated a little: "What happened?"

Could it be that the medical examination revealed a terminal illness...

Jiang Xia shook his head: "It's fine. It's just that the doctor who consulted... always felt that he had killed someone before."

Toru Amuro: "?"

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

Toru Amuro: "..."

He subconsciously rolled up his sleeves, his eyes became sharper.

——In short, there are currently two possibilities.

One is that Jiang Xia is a genius at observing words and expressions: from a short conversation, he can see that the doctor is a dangerous serial killer.

And the other is that Jiang Xia is not as normal as he looks, but is lurking with persecution paranoia or something like that.

Toru Amuro: "..." No matter which one is, it is worthy of vigilance and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

The former one deals with doctors. The latter is to send employees to the hospital, and let the organization reimburse the treatment expenses by the way.

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, she always felt that Toru Amuro's expression was a little weird.

He took a step back cautiously, and added more: "And that doctor has a gun in his bag, I can't be wrong."

... The gun was actually seen by Xiaobai. Ghosts have a unique advantage in searching—they can walk through luggage and check unopened bags.

Toru Amuro: "Really..."

Toru Amuro finally responded to the specific message of "gun", and gradually became more inclined to "the doctor has a problem".

In the process of psychological diagnosis and treatment, even if the doctor intends to control it, it is difficult to completely hide some of his habits and mentality.

I've heard that some people are extremely sensitive about this. And Jiang Xia is not an ordinary depressed patient—on the contrary, he is related to the organization, and he has come into contact with many murderers.

Toru Amuro: "..." In my impression, the Department of Psychology of Mihua Pharmacist Field Hospital is very famous.

As far as he knew, many policemen would also go there to register. As long as the doctor wanted to, it would not be difficult for him to extract some information from the police, and even influence those police in reverse.

Such a doctor, if there is really a problem...

Toru Amuro gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.

...

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

— After all, he is not a policeman now, he is the Bourbon of the organization. He should be happy when the police are unlucky.

"You think too much." Toru Amuro put down his rolled up cuffs again, and said as if he didn't care too much, "However, since that doctor made you think like this, it means that he is not suitable for you. A hospital."

Jiang Xia nodded and said nothing more.

Going on, the intention is too obvious. In that case, in order to hide their identities, the undercover comrades would definitely not touch Dr. Fenghu, and Jiang Xia would have to do it himself.

...

Amuro Toru is still very busy today, and after chatting with Jiang Xia for a few words, there is another task added to the heavy work list.

He didn't stay any longer and left quickly.

On the way, Toru Amuro sent Dr. Futo's information to his subordinates, who asked them to investigate.

Of course, he emphasized the need to act stealthily. Even if the problem is really found out, Fudo Kyosuke himself should be "accidentally" exposed, and it is important not to let others know that this is a purposeful investigation.

Otherwise, if Jiang Xia said there was something wrong with that person on the front foot, the person on the back foot would be arrested by the police... According to Jiang Xia's keenness, he might find the problem.

...

detective agency.

Jiang Xia was about to lock the door and leave, but at this moment, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the magazine rack in the entrance, and was slightly taken aback.

——On the shelf, there is a familiar book.

Jiang Xia walked over, pulled it out to have a look, and found that it was the detective manual borrowed from the library.

This is what he brought with him when he applied for the job.

Later, he really sneaked into the office, and Jiang Xia also forgot to take the book away.

The borrowing period of Mihua Library is relatively short, and ordinary citizens can only borrow books for 14 days.

Jiang Xia looked at the date and found that it hadn't happened yet. The next time I want to be randomly assigned to these 14 days, I don’t know how long I will have to wait, so why not return it now...

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

So he got on his motorcycle and went straight to the library.

...

Jiang Xia raced all the way to the library.

At this time, there was still more than half an hour before the end of get off work.

But when he got closer, the door was locked. It's already off work.

Jiang Xia was startled, and went to the notice board by the door to look, and found that today was a holiday, and the library closed two hours early.

"..."

Jiang Xia held the book waiting to be returned in her hand, looking at the darkness inside the door, a little disappointed.

He was about to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, Xiao Bai suddenly became energetic, raised his hand to poke Jiang Xia, and murmured to report.

—There is something in the library.

Not only has a murderous look, but also seems to have a newly dead shikigami.

Jiang Xia: "!"

...

This library does not have anti-theft windows installed.

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

He stopped by the window and raised his hand.

A few pieces of shikigami flew out lightly, passed through the window, landed on the floor of the library, and gradually condensed into white puppets like Nendoroids.

The puppet climbed onto the window awkwardly, stretched out its short hand, and unscrewed the locked window with a click.

Jiang Xia put on her gloves, opened the window with a clatter, and jumped into the hall.

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