Conan’s Corpse Picker

The mermaid noticed Jiang Xia's gaze, thought about the energy core that Kidd had contributed, snorted, and reluctantly decided to turn things around tonight.

She pushed herself against the side of the boat and fell back into the water. In fact, she prefers floating in the river to going on a boat.

The mermaid's tail came in handy at this time. She swam much faster than a rowing boat. The boat was pushed by her, breaking through the waves, and quickly returned to the shore.

When he arrived at the place, Jiang Xia raised his head and found an anxious-looking old man on the bank.

Terai Huangnosuke received the person and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he was suddenly startled and looked at Kidd who was covered in water: "Master, why are you so wet?"

... Just now he was holding a telescope and looking anxiously at the sky. He vaguely saw a person and a monster landing on the boat smoothly, and then he ran to the shore to pick them up with confidence.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Kidd turned into a miserable drowned rat, while the monster next to him was still very dry.

Operation steps such as "wash before cutting into strips and air drying" flashed through Terai Huang's mind for a moment, and his hair stood on end.

Kidd: "..."

He really didn't want to mention such an embarrassing thing.

Thinking of what he had just experienced in the water, he sneezed and silently moved to the other side of the foggy dog, away from the river bank. I'm afraid that because Grandpa Terai mentioned this, the mermaid will get angry again and suddenly reach out and drag him down... The mermaid is beautiful, but the fish tail is also really scary.

After thinking about it, Kidd couldn't help but take a look into the river.

Just in time, he saw a head float up there silently. The mermaid was floating in the water, staring at him quietly, the crystal-like scales on his cheeks shimmering.

"..." Kidd shuddered silently and got into the car driven by Terai Huangnosuke, "Let's go quickly, the police are coming."

After sitting firmly, he suddenly remembered something: By the way, the Egg of Memory!

Kidd turned his head and looked out the window, and saw the foggy dog ​​holding the dim egg. It seemed that he knew what he was missing. The monster showed rare enthusiasm: "I will return it later."

Kidd: "No, this time I plan to..."

Wow——

The mermaid broke out of the water and sat on the shore. While combing her hair that hung down to her waist, she looked here and seemed to be listening to their conversation.

Kidd: "!"

He was so startled that he paused for a moment. During this pause, the foggy dog ​​had already flapped its wings and flew away.

Kidd sighed silently. Although he still had something to say, Kiriten Dog was not here, and he didn't want to stay by the river. He whispered to Terai Huangnosuke: "Let's go!"

Terai Huangnosuke's eyes were so dim that he couldn't see the fish tail clearly, and he was still wondering why there was a woman in the river.

Originally, he wanted to ask the young lady if she wanted to ride the car, but when he heard that Kidd sounded anxious, Terai Kinosuke didn't think much and instinctively stepped on the accelerator, and the car jumped out.

Kidd looked at the merman disappearing in the rearview mirror and breathed a sigh of relief.

... This night, I was being spied on, photographed, and forced into the river to rinse myself off. It was really scary. Have you been unlucky lately? You should really visit a shrine before taking action.

…

There was no real-time pursuit by detectives, and the police actually hadn't noticed the unusual movement in Osaka Bay yet, so they arrived very slowly.

Jiang Xia drove away calmly with the foggy dog's vest, returned to the main body, and put down the "Resurrection Egg".

Jiang Xia: "..." Kidd didn't seem to intend to put the "Resurrection Egg" back to the Suzuki Museum of Art, but wanted to give it to another person.

But if he really did that, the news would be too hidden. Once Shi Kaobing loses the whereabouts of the Memory Egg, he may not continue to be with them, and the next trip will lose too much fun.

As expected, this heavy golden egg still has to be returned to the Suzuki family.

Jiang Xia quickly dispersed various puppets. The ghost fetus and the shikigami that made up the clay of the puppet instantly returned to the mark on his heart.

He opened his eyes in the abandoned building, stood up, looked down at himself, and found that his clothes were inevitably stained by the dust in the building and were a little dirty.

"..." He was so dirty that Jiang Xia simply scratched a few more holes and looked like he had chased Kidd heroically.

Afterwards, he rode a black panther back to the art gallery and walked over with the "Egg of Memory".

…

Conan and Hattori Heiji were standing in the courtyard. When the two were chasing Kidd, their tires were slashed by someone behind the scenes. They were unable to continue the pursuit. They didn't know where to go, so they had to come back and wait for news from the police.

Instead of waiting for the police, we waited for Jiangxia first.

The two of them were startled and came forward. The first thing they saw was the Egg of Memory in Jiang Xia's hand. They were shocked and said, "You have caught up with Kidd?!"

Jiang Xia handed them the heavy golden egg and shook his tired hand: "No, this egg was placed next to the river bank. I picked it up when I saw it."

As they got closer, the two detectives saw the rare dust on Jiang Xia's body and were startled again: "What's going on with you?"

Jiang Xia looked down at his clothes: "When I was chasing Kidd just now, I saw him flying over the river bend, and then suddenly fell down, like a hang glider malfunctioning... I didn't expect him to make such a mistake. , I was a little surprised, I looked at it a few more times and didn’t pay attention to my steps.”

When the two detectives heard this sentence, their attention was quickly diverted.

——Kidd has always been able to come and go freely in the sky, but today he made such a low-level mistake?

I always feel like there's something else going on.

in addition……

Conan looked at Jiang Xia in confusion: "Why are you suddenly interested in 'catching Kidd' today?"

Jiang Xia sighed: "After all, it belongs to the Sonoko family. Even Hattori is helping to chase, so I can't just sit and watch all the time. I just wanted to go out for a walk, but unexpectedly I bumped into Kidd's escape. The route. The road conditions were very complicated at that time, so I challenged myself to pursue it on a bicycle - this kind of ground-to-air pursuit was quite interesting."

Conan: "..." It turns out that I didn't suppress my racing nature while paddling. That makes sense...

Looking at Jiang Xia's clothes with holes in them, he reminded: "Speed ​​racing is dangerous."

"..." Jiang Xia looked down at his skateboard.

Conan followed his line of sight, a little embarrassed, and hid the skateboard behind his back: "Well, of course, extraordinary times require extraordinary actions... Anyway, now that the Memory Egg has been recovered, we have to talk to the police first. Say something!"

…

They quickly contacted the police.

Through the phone, Jiang Xia seemed to be able to see the furious Zhongsen Police Department opposite.

Nakamori Police Department has woken up at this time, and he sounds very energetic: "Are you sure it was Kidd you saw near Osaka Bay? He did fall?!"

"Well, that's right." Jiang Xia responded. After thinking for a moment, he reminded, "But according to his ability, if he is still alive, he must have run away."
