Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 37 Let's play with him more, ask for a monthly ticket (〃)

After finishing the notes, I finished getting Kyosuke Fudo. Jiang Xia plans to go home.

On the way back, when passing by the commercial street, Xiaobai stared at the TV in the window on the street, startled for a moment.

It tugged at Jiang Xia's ears.

Jiang Xia was startled, thinking that there would be another harvest.

Unexpectedly, he stopped and turned his head to look expectantly, only to find that this time, it was not the murderous intent that attracted Xiao Bai.

It's a variety show on TV.

— On the screen, Yoko Kinoshita is promoting her new album.

Xiaobai looked at the screen eagerly, and showed longing eyes towards the album.

Jiang Xia: "..."

After picking up the ghost baby, he has already bought a lot of magazines and albums related to Yoko Kinoshita, which is the same as preparing small toys when raising a cat.

However, this latest album usually has to be queued up to buy...

Jiang Xia glanced at the replay time displayed on the TV, and agreed with the ghost in advance: "You can go and see, but it may not be available."

...

The rain stopped for a while and then began to fall again.

Holding an umbrella, Jiang Xia found a place where she could buy albums.

When I saw the messy ground at the entrance of the video store, I felt bad.

I went in and took a look, and sure enough, the new album had already been sold out.

"..." Only at this time can Jiang Xia intuitively feel that "Yoko Kinoshita is really popular".

Xiaobai looked at the empty shelves, pressed the corners of his eyes, and groaned.

Jiang Xia: "..." Raising ghosts is really troublesome.

He went to look at several other stores, meaning to try harder.

As expected, other stores were out of stock.

After seeing the last store, Jiang Xia finished perfunctory, breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, someone behind him called him hesitantly: "Jiang Xia?"

Jiang Xia Xunsheng turned around.

There was no one behind him, just a row of bookshelves.

Taking a closer look, a pair of eyes appeared from the gap in the bookshelf, staring straight at him.

Jiang Xia was taken aback, and the key word immediately flashed in his mind, "the incident of the corpse hidden on the bookshelf".

... search failed.

"..." There seems to be no such case...

Just as he was wondering, he saw the eyes between the bookcases and blinked slightly.

The bulingbuling ones look not only alive, but a bit over the top.

"..." Jiang Xia immediately recognized it.

——Suzuki Sonoko?

...

Opposite the bookshelf.

Seeing Jiang Xia turning her head, Suzuki Sonoko said to the side in surprise, "Look, I just said he looks like him!", and then disappeared.

After a second. Jiang Xia looked at Suzuki Sonoko who moved in front of her with a teleport-like speed, and took half a step back calmly, startled by her speed.

"I didn't expect you to chase stars too." Suzuki Sonoko didn't notice Jiang Xia's subtle panic, but was simply happy to discover the "common interest" of the two of them.

After finishing speaking, she thought of something, lowered her voice, and invited mysteriously: "By the way, Xiaolan and I are going to attend Tatsuya's band celebration party the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go and see it together?"

The Suzuki chaebol invests everywhere and has a strong influence in the entertainment industry. Suzuki Sonoko has access to many celebrities, and it is very convenient to catch up with them.

Jiang Xia: "... Tatsuya?" This name sounds a little strange.

But soon, he turned his eyes slightly and saw a poster in the store.

——On the poster, there is a man holding a microphone and singing passionately. The male star's hair is very sharp, and the roots stand up, looking like a hedgehog.

In the corner of the poster is the singer's signature, "Tatsuya Kimura".

Unique hair, plus the name...

Jiang Xia quickly remembered something, and her heart fluttered.

He and Suzuki had a friendly chat on the topic of "Tatsuya Kimura".

During the chat, Suzuki Sonoko faintly felt that Jiang Xia was a fake fan, but she didn't care.

False or not is not important.

The most important thing is to have a K-song dinner with Jiang Xia, plus Tatsuya Kimura, double the happiness!

...

A minute later, Suzuki Sonoko, with illusory flowers floating all over her body, waved her hands with a smile, and watched Jiang Xia walk out of the store.

After a while, she gradually recovered.

"...Wait, did you just make an appointment?" Suzuki Sonoko touched his chin suspiciously, then turned around and grabbed Mao Lilan, "Did I hear you right? He did agree, right?"

Mao Lilan also nodded in a daze.

Jiang Xia never bullies his classmates, and he doesn't look indifferent, but there is always a strong sense of distance between him and his classmates.

...Of course, there must be a large part of the reason, which is that Jiang Xia cut too many classes and didn't leave time for everyone to get close.

But this is also related to Jiang Xia's usual behavior style - he never participates in small private gatherings, nor does he like to hang out with his classmates.

...

Just now, when Sonoko Suzuki invited, he actually did not expect to be able to invite someone. She just wanted to take the opportunity of the conversation to take a closer look at the handsome guy and go back to have dinner, so as to make up for the regret of not buying the album...

However, I didn't expect that after a few words of chatting, the person was abducted directly.

"..." Suzuki Sonoko held his face in his hands for a while, and suddenly had a guess, "Did he encounter something happy?"

... If you can figure out what that incident is, wouldn't it be possible to ask people out for dinner anytime and anywhere as long as you repeat the good things and make Jiang Xia happy?

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were flooded, and he felt that he had firmly grasped the code of the handsome guy.

...

Conan stood quietly beside their legs, and also felt that Jiang Xia was a little abnormal.

——Just now, Conan was playing with the children in the park. But while playing, it suddenly started to rain again, and the four of them had to go back to their respective homes.

On the way home, Conan saw Mao Lilan in the bustling crowd at a glance.

So he relied on that he was a child, and sneaked into the girls' shopping team as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Conan looked at Suzuki Sonoko's eyes gradually bent into the shape of a peach heart, and felt that she wanted to be crooked.

So he quickly killed the strange idea of ​​the classmate at the budding stage: "Actually, this morning, when we went to the police station together, we happened to see brother Jiang Xia's doctor killing people in the street, and the doctor was arrested on the spot, so..."

Suzuki Sonoko: "..."

This, this copying difficulty seems a bit high?

"..." Seeing her weird expression, Conan felt that the brain circuit between himself and this nympho classmate still didn't match up——Jiang Xia agreed to the invitation, definitely not because "the doctor was arrested and he was in a good mood."

Because Conan felt that the doctor-patient relationship between Jiang Xia and Dr. Futo seemed to be pretty good.

After all, when Jiang Xia usually fights, no one can stop him. But today, the beaten doctor just yelled, and as soon as Jiang Xia recognized him, he immediately stopped.

In addition, although Jiang Xia seldom goes to the hospital. But thinking about it the other way around, a person who hates the hospital so much took the initiative to do the checkup... Although he still didn't finish it and left halfway, it already explained the problem.

...In short, Conan has already made a more scientific explanation about why Suzuki Sonoko was able to ask people away smoothly.

...

Conan raised his head and saw that Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were looking at him. They were very concerned about the case he just mentioned. Ask to elaborate.

Conan simply talked about the situation just now.

Then, facing the two audiences, he couldn't resist turning on the reasoning mode, using the half-baked amateur psychology he learned in Hawaii:

"Before the doctor was taken away, he clearly expressed his dislike for Jiang Xia."

Conan refers to the voice that Dr. Futo yelled in despair when he was kicked so hard that he couldn't get up:

"If Jiang Xia had already established a relatively stable relationship with the doctor during the previous treatment, then he might be hit by it.

"Everyone has the instinct of self-protection. Now that the connection between Jiang Xia and the doctor is forced to be severed, his subconscious may try to establish new connections with other people in order to save himself, so as to hold himself back—just as you sent him Invite him, and he has been invited a lot in the past, he may have sensed your kindness..."

In the middle of Conan's speech, he suddenly felt that there were many flaws in his words.

Not only did he forget to add "brother" when referring to Jiang Xia, but he also accidentally mentioned some of Suzuki Sonoko's past behaviors... Well, this won't reveal his identity as "Kudo Shinichi"!

Thinking of this, Conan broke out in a cold sweat, feeling a little regretful.

Unexpectedly, when he raised his head carefully, he did not meet Mao Lilan's scrutinizing gaze.

Instead, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko saw tears in their eyes, and the two even took out a handkerchief to wipe their tears.

Conan: "...?"
