Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 21 Let go, ask for a monthly ticket ()

Borrowing the ghost's vision is equivalent to having night vision.

Jiang Xia stepped into the dark exhibition hall, walked through a group of strange sculptures, and walked to the deepest part.

The smell of blood is getting heavier.

At the end of the room, look to the left and there is a huge oil painting hanging on the wall. In the painting, a demon is nailed to death on a cliff by a knight with a sword.

Looking to the right, there is a fat middle-aged man hanging on the wall. He was nailed to the wall in a "devil-like posture". Blood was splashed all over the wall. The blood flowed down the wall, and the base of the wall had already gathered There was a pool of blood.

Jiang Xia glanced at the middle-aged man's body, and quickly settled on his calf.

There is a fresh soul picking up there. Palm-sized, like a shikigami cut out of a piece of white paper.

Jiang Xia just saw a similar one in the morning, but he didn't expect to go out for a walk in the afternoon, and then saw another one.

...

In the classification of psychics, some souls will dissipate immediately after death, while some with extraordinary talents can become ghost fetuses.

There is another one, somewhere in between.

——This kind of paper shikigami-like thing.

Ghost fetuses usually have relatively strong self-awareness, and they also remember some of the things they did before they were alive. They are the most difficult to abduct, but they are also the most useful.

And this kind of shikigami in front of him... doesn't have much consciousness, only obsession is particularly heavy.

Most of them are acting on instinct.

After being generated, some will grab their own corpse nearby, while others will float towards the murderer and grab the murderer's leg.

Although the ghost baby's eyesight has been borrowed, other senses are still there.

It sensed the aura of Paipaoshishishen, couldn't hold back, and stretched out its small hand, trying to pull it off and bring it to Jiang Xia.

...

After a few steps, Jiang Xia waited and watched.

I saw Paleg Shikigami, although trembling because of the ghost baby's approach, he still hugged him tightly.

As soon as Guiying exerted force, he accidentally tore a little wrinkled.

It stayed there, let go of its hand, and secretly ironed the wrinkled place.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Xia sighed inwardly.

...Sure enough, it can't be torn off violently.

Still have to go through the process, send the murderer away first, let the soul get rid of its obsession, and fall off the murderer's lap by itself.

...

As a "prophet", Jiang Xia certainly remembered this case in the exhibition hall.

——The reason was that the owner of the exhibition hall went bankrupt, so he packaged and sold the exhibition hall to the owner Zhenzhong.

And the real boss is the unlucky uncle nailed to the wall in front of Jiang Xia.

——He died after buying the exhibition hall, thinking that art is scrap metal, and wanted to convert the exhibition hall into a restaurant.

The curator Ochiai, who is in charge of managing this pavilion, has worked here for decades. After he learned of the situation, he was very angry and became murderous towards his new boss.

So this afternoon, curator Ochiai wore a faceless knight armor and waited in this hell exhibition hall.

He invited Zhenzhong's boss over, and then nailed him to the wall.

...

While recalling the past, Jiang Xia looked at the bloodstains all over the hall, feeling that this case is not difficult to solve.

Of course, the first step is to call the police first.

Jiang Xia took out her mobile phone and was about to dial 110.

But suddenly heard some movement in the corridor.

——A few people walked towards this exhibition hall while chatting.

Jiang Xia listened carefully, and found that the voice was quite familiar—it turned out to be two of his classmates, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.

"..." Jiang Xia paused for a moment as she pressed the phone, silently glanced at the horrible corpse next to her, and the sword on the corpse.

Then realized that if you don't want to hear the screaming duet, you'd better not let them in...

...

the other side.

In the hallway outside the hall of hell.

Mao Lilan stopped hesitantly.

She looked at the passage leading to the "Hell Exhibition Hall", and tilted her head in doubt: "I remember just now, there was a 'No Entry' sign here?"

Suzuki Sonoko leaned over to her, and thought for a moment: "Maybe there was an exhibit being repaired just now, and it's repaired now?"

The two looked curiously at the dark exhibition hall, looked at each other, and remembered the purpose of coming here today.

Recently, there was a terrible rumor in the neighborhood.

——In the middle of the night, the knight armor in this "Mihua Medieval Exhibition Hall" will come alive and walk around along the exhibition hall.

So the two of them came here with the idea of ​​"visiting a haunted house".

I also brought a Conan by the way to strengthen my courage.

...

However, after shopping all afternoon, I never encountered a "ghost knight".

Now, they have visited the whole museum, only this "Hell Exhibition Hall", they have not entered yet.

At this time, seeing that the "No Entry" sign disappeared, Suzuki Sonoko was suddenly moved:

"It's all here, let's go in and have a look. Maybe that mysterious armor is hidden in this exhibition hall!"

At their feet, Conan was wearing a pair of dead fish eyes, and said tiredly: "Forget it, it's been shopping for a long time, aren't you tired?"

His feeble protests were completely ignored.

The two girls looked at each other, nodded to each other, took courage, and dragged him into the exhibition hall.

Conan sighed vicissitudes of life, struggling to stand up straight.

However, at this moment, the force holding him suddenly disappeared.

——Maolilan and Suzuki Sonoko stopped at their feet. Not only did they not move forward, but they even took a step back, tending to huddle together and tremble.

Conan was taken aback, raised his head vigilantly, and looked forward.

In the dim exhibition hall, there was a gloomy figure walking out of the darkness step by step.

Conan was surprised: "!"

...But soon, he discovered that the so-called "gloomy" was just an illusion caused by dim light.

In fact, the person who came out of the exhibition hall walked well, and his posture and pace were normal, even a little familiar.

Conan: "..." Huh?

……look familiar?

...

Jiang Xia walked out of the exhibition hall from the darkness, leaned against the door, looked at Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko who were trembling and hugging each other, and was a little puzzled: "...are you cold?"

"No, no." When Mao Lilan saw Jiang Xia, she was disappointed and relieved.

Disappointed not to encounter a ghost.

Fortunately... well, I didn't meet any ghosts.

Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko's mental journey was completely different from hers.

"Jiang Xia?" She skipped the stage of disappointment, doubled her joy, and greeted the handsome guy in front of her enthusiastically, "Are you going to see that moving armor too?"

As she spoke, she pointed to the darkness behind Jiang Xia: "Is it in this exhibition hall?"

Although, Suzuki Sonoko has basically determined that Jiang Xia's strategy is sss level after various attempts before, and it is extremely difficult to get it.

But this does not prevent her from liking to look at faces.

For a senior dog, as long as Jiang Xia appeared in front of her, Suzuki Sonoko's mood would soar like a steroid.

And if you look at it a few more times, you can still maintain your high-sightedness when you are flirting, which is very practical...

While talking, Suzuki Sonoko wanted to take a look at the development hall of Mao Lilan.

With Jiang Xia right there, the effect of emboldening his courage must be much better than that of Conan.

...

However, the two girls only took a step, but they were blocked by Conan in front of their legs.

The two lowered their heads in doubt, and found that the child's eyes were somewhat complicated.

Conan looked at Jiang Xia with a solemn expression: "...Why is there blood on your shoes?"

The others were startled, and all looked down at Jiang Xia's shoes.

Including Jiang Xia herself.

Jiang Xia is wearing a pair of black sneakers today. The uppers are clean, with only a little dust on the edges.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, suspecting that this was a prank by the bear kid.

However, at this time, seeing the opposite, Jiang Xia lowered his head and glanced at the ground, suddenly, as if remembering something, he took a half step back.

As soon as he took his foot away, there was a bloody shoe print on the place he stepped on just now.

"Ah." Jiang Xia was a little embarrassed, he simply took another step back, returned to the carpet-covered exhibition hall, and said slightly apologetically, "I didn't pay attention, I stepped on it."

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and squatted down, as if he wanted to wipe off the bloodstains on the ground.

Conan: "..."

He swished over to stop Jiang Xia, and stopped what looked like "destruction of evidence":

"Where did this blood come from?!"

Conan is observant and short.

As soon as Jiang Xia approached just now, he found that the carpet Jiang Xia stepped on had a subtle difference in color.

After confirming that it was blood, because he had seen similar things before, at first, Conan suspected that the neighbor was hiding and cutting himself again.

However, after a closer look, he found that Jiang Xia looked good and moved normally, and there were no strange wet marks on the black wristband on his left hand.

...

However, judging from the fact that Jiang Xia walked all the way on the carpet, there was still a little blood on the shoes...

The amount of blood he stepped on just now is definitely quite a lot... It is very likely that someone has died here!

...

Unlike Conan, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko are not so observant, and they are a blessing in disguise, but they are not nervous.

They just thought that Jiang Xia accidentally stepped on the red paint left by the staff - after all, this exhibition hall had a "No Entry" sign before, and it was suspected to be under repair.

At this time, seeing Jiang Xia rubbing the "paint", he was stopped by Xiongzi.

They also took out their handkerchiefs and approached, intending to wipe off Jiang Xia's footprints.

When I got closer, I realized that the color of the footprints really looked like blood.

The two nodded their heads inwardly: Well, as expected of the Hell Exhibition Hall, the paint used is so unique...

Sonoko Suzuki asked curiously while rubbing: "What did you step on? Paint? Pigment?"

Jiang Xia apologized, "Pool of blood."

"Oh, blood..." Suzuki Sonoko paused, and suddenly raised his voice, "A pool of blood?!!"

She looked up in shock.

I saw Jiang Xia squatting on the edge of the scarlet carpet, while watching her wipe the floor, she raised her hand and pointed into the exhibition hall: "Someone died and was nailed to the wall, you..."

Jiang Xia just wanted to say "you better not go in, it's a bit scary".

Before he finished speaking, Conan rushed into the exhibition hall from beside him.

At the same time, Conan pressed on his wrist and turned on the flashlight attached to the universal watch.

——The first batch of equipment the doctor made for him has arrived.
