Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 25 The Mature Psychic

——One of the most common commissions received by detective agencies is "finding lost followers".

These cats were all captured after receiving the commission.

After Jiang Xia came, there were indeed more customers from Amuro Detective Agency than before.

But the job he received was still looking for cats and dogs, and keeping an eye on the mistress.

...

Jiang Xia did not hand over the case as Toru Amuro had explained.

He wants to save his reputation and connections.

Therefore, the entrustment of finding a pet was handed over by Jiang Xia to his group of cronies.

Bad boys seem cool and busy at first glance. But in reality, they often get bored.

It’s easy to get tired of racing and playing video games every day, so many of their group activities are actually a group of people gathering together, looking fierce for a while, and going out of form.

When the time is up, go back to each house.

But at this time, with the novel task of finding cats and dogs, the boring walks in the streets suddenly become exciting

Not to mention the high salary.

No one will struggle with money, and bad people also have to live.

——The motorcycle needs to be repaired when it breaks down, the hairstyle needs to be permed if it is messed up, and the boss of the game hall can't let them go whoring for nothing... In short, they are very active.

...

However, Jiang Xia did not set the delivery location of the pet at the detective agency.

Because he still remembers the background he made out of nonsense when he came to Toru Amuro to apply for a job.

What kind of bastard would go to the shop where he works and smash...

If one day, innocent villains come to give cats, but are misunderstood by Toru Amuro as wanting to smash the store...it will be very bad.

...

So the retrieved cats and dogs will be sent directly to Jiang Xia's home, and Jiang Xia will bring them to the office.

The entrustment of pets is easy to solve.

But for the case of Xiaosan, Jiang Xia did not outsource it because it involved the privacy of the client, so he had to do it himself.

Fortunately, he has been very free recently.

And if you go around a few times outside, maybe you will run into a murder case.

...

Jiang Xia carried the cat into the office and called the client to pick it up.

After sending the cats away, Jiang Xia waited for the guests to bring ghosts to the door.

However, it is a pity that the requests received are still some requests for finding pets.

Jiang Xia stared at the newly received stack of beautiful photos of cats and dogs, and sighed: It may be that the bad guys are too efficient in finding pets, word of mouth spread among customers, and their reputation began to spread...

...

Unable to receive a valid case, Jiang Xia flipped through the commission form, planning to go out in the afternoon to secretly photograph the mistress.

However, before going out, Toru Amuro suddenly sent a message.

Jiang Xia clicked on it, and found that the working emperor was temporarily busy, so Jiang Xia was asked to take on his part-time job today—delivering couriers.

The job given by the boss still needs to be accepted.

Only by coming and going can a harmonious and stable tool-man relationship be established.

...

Jiang Xia got up and went out.

When closing the door of the office, he hung an appointment book on the door, looking at it expectantly:

"You are already a mature book, you have to learn to attract murderous guests by yourself."

A gust of wind blew through, and the book opened a little with a clatter, and then closed again.

Jiang Xiaquan thought it was nodding.

...

Following the address given by Toru Amuro, Jiang Xia found the logistics company and received a map, a manifest, and a car.

With a cart of goods, it took several hours to deliver.

This part-time job is not difficult.

But during the part-time job, Jiang Xia's mood continued to decline.

——Every customer who came to sign for it was very ordinary: no murderous intent, no ghosts, and no threat to their lives.

In the evening, Jiang Xia returned to the car listlessly after delivering the last courier.

I am preparing to go back to the company for a business trip.

But at this moment, the drowsy ghost baby on his shoulder suddenly woke up and poked him excitedly.

Jiang Xia was startled.

He listened carefully to the ghost baby's muttering, then got out of the car, followed the ghost baby's direction, and turned a few turns.

Passing through a gloomy alley, when stopping, a gloomy bungalow appeared on the right.

The bungalow has several floors and the yard is huge.

However, it has not been taken care of properly. The whole house is gloomy, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and the walls are covered with depressing and crazy creepers.

Combined with today's gloomy weather, at first glance, there is only one word that can describe it aptly.

- haunted house.

…………

Jiang Xia walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked in through the rusty iron fence.

Then I was a little surprised to find that there were two people lying in the messy grass in the yard.

They were two children, about six or seven years old. Their eyes were closed, but their chests rose and fell slightly. They should not be dead, but passed out.

These two children have strange shapes: one is as fat as a triangular rice ball, and the other is as thin as a hemp stick.

This gave Jiang Xia a strong sense of sight. He quickly thought of two people - Conan's classmate, Kojima Genta, and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko.

These two people, together with the little girl Yoshida Ayumi, and the think tank Conan, formed the "Youth Detective Team" of Didan Elementary School.

Jiang Xia: "..." Since Yuantai and Mitsuhiko are lying here, today is probably the first group activity of the Detective Boys:

Haunted house adventure.

...

Jiang Xia looked away from the two children and looked up at the overcast bungalow.

This "haunted house" has been vacant for several years.

It is said that there was a brutal murder case here, and since then, the sound of roaring wild animals has often been heard in the room, which is very famous in the surrounding area.

...

But in fact, Jiang Xia's false "foreseeing ability" told him: There are actually no ghosts here, but a mother and child hiding here.

——Five years ago, the male owner of this bungalow scolded his son angrily, but was shot to death by his son.

After the mother found out, she disguised the murder scene as "burglary and murder", and then took her son to hide in the underground secret room, intending to survive the prosecution period and return to society.

Later, the son gradually couldn't stand this kind of mouse-like life and wanted to surrender, but the mother disagreed. She put the son in a dungeon and insisted on waiting for the prosecution period to end.

What the people nearby heard "like the howling wind" was actually the sad roar of the son of the underground.

...

But today, four first-grade elementary school students from the "Youth Detective Team" broke in without knowing the inside story, preparing to start a "haunted house adventure".

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at the two children in the courtyard through the gate.

At present, it seems that this expedition of the Boy Detective Group is coming to an end.

——Genta and Mitsuhiko were brutally k.o, knocked out and thrown into the yard.

And Conan and Ayumi are probably still in the haunted house, trying to survive.

Jiang Xia thought for a while, took out her mobile phone, and called the police skillfully.

Then he flipped over the railing lightly, fell into the yard, and quickly walked around to the side door of the bungalow.

...

Jiang Xia remembered that the Boy Detective Team sneaked into the haunted house from here.

However, at this moment, he stretched out his hand and twisted it, but the door was locked.

"..." It seems that the hostess took some defensive measures and locked the gap after throwing out the naughty boy x 2 who had trespassed in the haunted house.

As a member of the organization, Jiang Xia felt that he should take out the tool at this time, click a few times, and pry open the lock neatly.

Picking locks, however, was not his forte.

And a psychic must look like a psychic...

Jiang Xia withdrew her hand and stepped back half a step.

Two pieces of paper shikigami flew out of nowhere from under his feet, and slipped into the room silently along the crack of the door.

...

Soon, behind the door, the two shikigami overlapped and gradually swelled, forming a puppet like a "white clay figure".

This puppet has no thinking. Fully controlled by psychics.

If a ghost embryo is thrown into a puppet, it can be shaped into a delicate puppet with a shape close to that of a human.

But at present, it is just to open a door, there is no need to make it so detailed.

Jiang Xia felt the position of the clay puppet through the door.

After a while, "Xiaobai" in the room slowly stood up straight, gropingly put his hand behind the door, clicked, and unlocked the door.

After completing the task, the little puppet collapsed silently, changing from clay to a paper shikigami invisible to ordinary people.

The paper shikigami instantly returned to the print space on Jiang Xia's heart.

Jiang Xia stretched out her hand again.

This time, he successfully opened the door.
