Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 96 Picked up a bottle of sherry. Please vote for me (〃)

Toru Amuro had just finished a business trip and had a lot of work piled up.

He came to the office, gave Jiang Xia a few part-time jobs, and left soon after.

Those part-time jobs start tomorrow.

Today, Jiang Xia's schedule is still empty.

…

Jiang Xia was sitting on the sofa in the office. Next to him, Miyano Akemi looked a little restless - the "Shirley" the organization was looking for was her sister.

Jiang Xia raised her hand and rubbed Miyano Akemi's head, which felt good. Remembering that this was a ghost that she had sent to her door, she decided to be more conscientious and help the ghost take care of her family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia asked the main body to sit on the sofa and hang up.

The shikigami flew through the wall and flew outside the house, where they piled up into human shapes in the alley next to the office.

…

Currently, Jiang Xia has a total of three ghost fetuses that can only be used to support puppets.

Among them, the foggy dog's wings are too big, and there is no comic exhibition nearby. If you drive it around, it will easily be watched by the crowd.

Miyano Akemi's puppet has been photographed by many people on the Shinkansen and has been registered with the police station and the organization. Now the organization is looking for Shirley everywhere. Driving "Anonymous Miss" out at this juncture can easily cause trouble.

So in the end, Jiang Xia chose Xiaobai's puppet, the little boy.

Although this puppet had been in contact with Gin before, Jiang Xia had covered its face at that time - when he stuffed Xiaobai into the bag, he deliberately pressed his head down, so the puppet's posture was so distortion. And Gin did pay attention to the puppet's broken neck, and did not turn Xiaobai's head over to see his face.

In addition, Gin seems to have said that he does not remember the people who died at his hands.

The little white puppet was shot twice by Gin and was thrown into the incinerator with his own hands... Rounding it off, it should be considered a homicide. I hope Gin will be more honest and respect the settings he has given to himself.

…

The puppet's initial clothing is fixed and will be generated by itself according to the puppet's preferences.

However, as the number of shikigami increases, Jiang Xia is also able to make some changes to his clothing.

He drove Xiaobai's puppet and added a scarf to himself that could cover the "Z" mark on his neck.

Afterwards, Jiang Xia wrapped herself in a scarf and walked to the end of the alley.

He found a loose brick on the wall, removed it, and took out the money he had hidden inside to pay for the puppet's travel expenses.

…

After Shirley heard about Miyano Akemi's death, she immediately interrupted her research in protest.

The organization therefore locked her in a room and waited for retribution.

Shirley was disheartened and felt that she had no choice but to die, so she ate the APTX4869 hidden in her body.

She had intended to commit suicide using the drug. But after taking the medicine, like Kudo Shinichi, he luckily became a child.

…

In Jiang Xia's impression, after Shirley turned into a child, she quickly broke away from the handcuffs and escaped along the garbage chute.

And where she was at that time...

Jiang Xia thought for a moment, then drove the puppet onto the bus and soon arrived near a pharmaceutical building.

——This is one of the strongholds of the organization and where Shirley used to work.

…

After getting off the car, Jiang Xia walked around the area in secret.

I quickly found a few small footprints, and they were left by bare feet.

This must have been what Shirley stepped on - after she became smaller, her shoes and clothes no longer fit. I can barely put on my clothes, but I can't wear my shoes anymore.

Apart from her, it was hard to imagine any other child running around in a place like this on a rainy day with bare feet.

Jiang Xia stared at the footprints, thought for a moment, and released Miyano Akemi's soul.

Although Gui Fei is not good at finding living people, after all, they are sisters and may have the same mind.

In Jiang Xia's imagination, Miyano Akemi should come close to the footprints at this time, stretch out her little hand to touch the footprints, smell the breath, then think seriously for a moment, and quickly lead him to Shirley's side.

However, things deviated from Jiang Xia's script.

——After being placed next to the footprints by him, Miyano Akemi looked down at the muddy ground beneath her, turned around and crawled back onto Jiang Xia's clean shoes, and skillfully hugged his legs.

Jiang Xia: "..."

Well, it seems that there is something wrong with the telepathy between these sisters, maybe the signal between humans and ghosts is not good. Judging from Miyano Akemi's reaction, let alone "looking for breath", she didn't even recognize the footprints as being left by her sister.

"..." Thinking about it, now, Miyano Akemi probably only knows that her sister escaped from the clutches of the organization, but she doesn't know that Shirley has become smaller...

Jiang Xia sighed silently.

He wiped off the footprints smoothly, identified the surrounding scenery, and then walked towards his home.

——The footprints are facing that way.

Originally, Jiang Xia thought that Shirley would be wary of him as an "organization member" and would not dare to go there.

Unexpectedly, this new-born tomboy instinctively ran towards Yoneka Town.

…

Jiang Xia started from the location of the mud footprints and walked towards his home, looking for a convenient hiding place one by one.

After walking nearly a kilometer or two, he vaguely noticed something. His eyes moved and fell on a pile of building materials in the corner.

——A corner of white was vaguely revealed between the gaps in the building materials.

The space there is small, not enough for an adult to hide, but...just enough to hide a homeless "child".

"..."

…

Jiang Xia looked around and found no suspicious colleagues in black clothes - the organization members had already searched the area and were leaving now.

He then went around behind the building materials, pulled on the wet tarp covering it, and lifted up a corner.

Looking inside, I met a pair of frightened eyes.

Jiang Xia: "..." Sure enough, it's here.

He looked at the cute tomboy hugging his knees and huddled under the tarp, and waved to her friendly: "Come out."

…

At first, Shirley was trembling all over - she suddenly smelled the breath of an organization member just now, and that breath was getting closer and closer.

But at this moment, with the thought of "I'm going to die", she looked up and was shocked to find that it was a little boy.

After being startled for a moment, Shirley breathed a sigh of relief and slowly calmed down.

"..." I could actually feel the aura of the organization from a child... He must be too nervous.

She looked again at the neatly dressed, young and handsome little boy in front of her.

After hesitating for a moment, he touched the pocket of his white coat and successfully found a coffee candy.

Shirley pushed the candy into Jiang Xia's hand and said tiredly: "Be good, go play somewhere else."

Then he raised his hand, pulled the corner of the raincloth that Jiang Xia was holding, and slowly wrapped himself up again.
