Conan’s Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia pushed the door open, walked to the counter like every customer who came to order, and ordered a drink.

While looking for a seat, he passed by the Maori table.

Then he was stopped unexpectedly.

Mao Lilan waved to him happily: "What a coincidence! Are you also coming to see Miss Yoko's concert?" She remembered that Jiang Xia often lent her father some hard-to-find albums, and she was probably a fan of Miss Yoko.

Jiang Xia nodded and took this as an opportunity to successfully join the professional ghost picking team - the others were responsible for luring and producing, and he was responsible for picking up.

He walked over to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

…

Across the table, Mouri Kogoro looked disheveled and hesitated to speak to Jiang Xia.

Mouri Kogoro is a fan of Kinoshita Yoko.

Of course he also bought a ticket for tonight's concert, but when he touched his pocket just now, he found a hole on the inside of the pocket - the ticket fell somewhere.

While he was in a hurry, he was lucky enough to meet Jiang Xia - Maori Kogoro remembered that Jiang Xia had a good relationship with Kinoshita Yoko, so he wanted to rely on Jiang Xia in a low-key way to win the ticket.

However, it always feels a bit embarrassing to ask a junior to take him through the back door...

Mouri Kogoro was embarrassed to speak, and was tangled in what he said in his mind.

…

Opposite him, Jiang Xia didn't seem to notice his thoughts. She was concentrating on holding the paper cup and silently drinking juice with her head down.

In normal times, Jiang Xia would have sneaked into the venue with Mouri Kogoro without saying a word - even if the door was closed, he would have cut through the wall to send the neighbors in, and then happily listen to the concert with them, and watch the concert by the way See if there are any lost ghosts.

But today...Uncle Maori could take another route.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia's eyes turned slightly and landed on the short-haired woman next to the public phone.

The woman wears a wide-brimmed black headband on her forehead - this is the peripheral product included in the Yoko Kinoshita commemorative album, which was just released yesterday.

The short-haired woman, Qingdao Quandai, called several times before the call was finally answered.

Qingdao Quandai showed a happy expression.

However, as soon as she heard this sentence, she realized that she had been cheated.

He immediately became furious: "You can't come with a cold?! What's the point of resting from such a minor illness! You don't think it's easy to get concert tickets, do you? I don't care, you come to pick me and my sister up right away!"

What she responded to was the "beep——" "beep——" sound of the other party picking up the phone.

Qingdao Quandai's face was extremely ugly, and she slammed the receiver back onto the phone.

There are not many customers in this store, and the store is not big. The sound spreads easily.

Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up when he heard Aoshima Zendai's conversation just now. The two keywords "concert tickets" and "can't come" were keenly captured.

——He immediately realized that he had the ticket.

Mouri Kogoro stood up and walked to Qingdao Quandai, wanting to buy the extra ticket.

Qingdao Quandai held his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "No need to buy it, you can just use the ticket. It's a waste if I keep it anyway. However, you have to do me a favor..."

…

The "help" offered by Qingdao Quandai was to ask Mouri Kogoro to take her to her sister's place, and then drive the two sisters back to the concert.

Mouri Kogoro readily agreed, feeling that he had earned it.

After getting in the car, he started the car and glanced at the rearview mirror out of habit, and suddenly found that there was an extra person in the back seat.

Mouri Kogoro turned around and looked at Jiang Xia doubtfully: "Why are you following me? Did you lose your ticket too?"

Jiang Xia held the straw in his mouth and came up with an excuse in a perfunctory manner - Mouri Kogoro was easy to fool in his normal state, so he just said anything.

But before he could speak, Mao Lilan suddenly raised her hand and pressed her father's face, pushing Mao Li Kogoro's turned head straight: "Isn't this better? There are more people and it's lively."

...Jiang Xia must have suddenly realized the beauty of being with her friends after meeting them. She didn't want to go to the concert alone anymore, so she followed them, but what her father meant was to let Jiang Xia Getting out of the car...it's too much!

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan snorted, crossed her arms and said non-negotiably: "The space in the back seat is quite enough - Conan doesn't take up any space. When the Qingdao lady gets in the car, if the seat is really not big enough, I can still hold him Hold him."

Jiang Xia caught a glimpse of Conan stiffening out of the corner of his eye.

Then he saw the misbehaving primary school student blushing silently. At the same time, Conan turned his face and secretly gave Jiang Xia a grateful look of "Well done!"

Jiang Xia: "..." You have lsp eyes, so you look like an lsp to everyone.

…

Qingdao Quandai was sitting in the passenger seat.

On the way, she chatted with several people very talkatively.

"My sister Mina and I are both die-hard fans of Ms. Yoko. Mina is about to get married recently and is a little anxious. So I specially got tickets for this concert and wanted to invite Mina and her future brother-in-law to the concert."

Qingdao Quandai said this and sighed: "It's just tonight that my brother-in-law suddenly said that he had a cold and couldn't come to pick us up. Meicai never showed up and didn't answer the phone... It must be because the guy was angry because he missed the appointment. .”

Mouri Kogoro is not interested in these parents.

He glanced at Qingdao Quandai's headband and said curiously, "I've always wanted to ask, is that thing on your head..."

"It's a gift from the album released yesterday. In addition to this, I also got a keychain of the same style." Qingdao Quandai pointed to the headband with "yoko-" printed on it.

After saying that, she was a little surprised: "None of you have any?" Since you can get Miss Yoko's concert tickets, you should also be able to buy yesterday's album.

Mouri Kogoro sighed, his expression a bit sad and angry: "I almost bought it! But I met a talkative client on the way, which delayed the time. That kid would never buy it-"

As he said that, he pointed to Jiang Xia in the back row: "He helped Miss Yoko solve a case before, and he also went to the 'Perspective Detective Agency' with Miss Yoko, and they have a good relationship. So his albums are all sent directly by Yoko. No giveaways.”

In these words of Mouri Kogoro, there is a bit of pride and showoff hidden in "My acquaintance knows Miss Yoko!"

He originally thought that Aoshima Zendai, as a fan of Kinoshita Yoko, would look envious and even scream in surprise when he heard this.

In fact, Qingdao Quandai's reaction was even more exaggerated than he expected.

——She froze in place, and the peripheral key ring in her hand clattered onto the armrest box, sliding along the box lid to the ground in the back row.

"..." These people... are actually detectives? !
