Conan’s Corpse Picker

Conan also heard a strange movement in the carton.

He came over curiously and looked into the small paper box with Haihara Ai.

I saw a small pile of soil scattered in the corner of the box, and a leaf was thoughtfully placed on the soil... Of course, this is not the gift itself, but just an accessory.

——The real "gift" should be the oval-shaped arthropod with a round and smooth back composed of several ring-shaped armor plates next to the soil.

It seemed that it had noticed the change in light. Under the gaze of four big bright eyes, the dull bug in the box stopped scratching the carton and slowly shook the short tentacles on its head, as if exploring its surroundings.

After a while, I didn't know what I found. It silently curled up into a ball and turned into a black ball with a cold and hard luster.

"..."

Conan wordlessly reached in and poked the mini "chocolate ball" from one end of the carton to the other: "Watermelon worm? Why are you catching it..."

"It grabbed the edge of my shoe before and looked like it wanted to follow me. I took a closer look and found that compared to similar animals, its carapace was neat and the curvature of the ball was very standard. It felt like it was following me. Destined."

With that said, Jiang Xia opened the handmade gift box given by Haiyuan Ai and took a look at the dark chocolate with the same black luster inside. The more they looked, the more they looked like each other.

So he raised his hand and touched Haiyuan Ai's head: "Now I feel that you are also very close to it. It just so happens that I am not really good at raising pets..."

Haibara Ai:"……"

Her delicate fingers trembled slightly, and she hesitated and hesitated to speak. Finally, she gathered her words and managed to say: "Look carefully, it's really cute..."

...Go back and find a flower pot, throw it in and raise it.

Fortunately, Jiangxia only caught one, so there is no need to worry about it over-reproducing... Speaking of which, although bugs are generally tenacious, they are small in size after all. If you don't pay more attention, they may easily die. You have to check the breeding precautions when you go back. Matter... I hope to find relevant information.

Conan stood nearby, silently staring at the timid watermelon insect that was too big to move. He felt that he had thought too much before - the organization probably did not take the opportunity to attack Jiang Xia, otherwise how could Jiang Xia have time to arrest innocent children? animal……

But Conan remembered that Jiang Xia went out this time because he received a letter of commission from Yueying Island.

Judging from yesterday's news, an explosion just occurred on Yueying Island.

...When it comes to explosions, it is inevitable to think of the gin that almost blew up the Shinkansen. Conan always feels that "explosion", a simple and crude method of killing, has a very strong smell of gin. Especially in his impression, Gin did take the train to Tottori Prefecture a few days ago.

Thinking of this, Conan retracted his gaze from the watermelon bug, chose his words, and looked at Jiang Xia, trying to pretend to be interested in the cases Jiang Xia encountered along the way, but in fact, he was inquiring about whether Jiang Xia had anything to do with him after leaving the Beidou Star train. I have had contact with suspicious men in black such as Gin.

But before he could speak, a beeping horn suddenly sounded outside the courtyard gate.

——Dr. Ali also discovered that Jiang Xia was back.

At this time, he was driving his little Beetle parked at the door, waving to Jiang Xia from the car window: "Let's go and get the cat!"

Ever since Jiang Xia got a part-time job at Amuro Detective Agency, the boys he recruited have started a new business - helping clients find pets.

In the early days of starting this business, when Jiang Xia came to apply for a job, she used the excuse that "she was forced by the bad boys to the point that no boss dared to ask for her, so she had to try her luck in this firm near the Metropolitan Police Department." So in order to prevent the innocent boys from being mistaken by Toru Amuro when they came to the office to deliver cats, and then being sent to the police station or juvenile detention center collectively... Jiang Xia turned Dr. Agasa's house into cats. Temporary storage for dogs.

Later, although Toru Amuro discovered the truth, he felt that Jiang Xia would try his best to apply for a job with him because this talented young man wanted to get a part-time job as a detective that he liked within the scope of the organization's permission.

In addition, when Toru Amuro was too busy, Jiangxia did a lot of work for him - Jiangxia could quickly pick up any type of work, and he was also very popular with his bosses. He had retained many important part-time jobs for Toru Amuro. He is really a hard-working and good-natured employee... So Toru Amuro finally tolerated it and did not settle old scores.

Precisely because he didn't talk to Jiang Xia about this matter, Jiang Xia's cat storage location has never changed and is still at Dr. Ali's place.

Although Dr. Ali lives at home, he occasionally goes out.

Normally, if the doctor goes out, the cats will be sent to the Mori Detective Agency under the disgusted gaze of Kogoro Mori and the surprise gaze of Maori Lan.

But this time, the Maori family also happened to be out.

Dr. Ali then placed the cat he received at a friend's house for foster care.

The Young Detective Team and Dr. Ari arrived at home last night.

After returning home, the doctor originally wanted to get the cat, but he suddenly had new inspiration, worked on the experiment all night, and accidentally crashed through the fence of Jiang Xia's house with his newly developed moonlight-powered car... So the cat... I stayed at a friend's house for an extra day.

Now that Jiang Xia is home, we just go there to get it together.

Jiang Xia heard Dr. A Li say that he had collected a lot of cats in the past few days, so he planned to pick up the cats first.

He touched the heads of the two children and pushed back the questions they were about to ask. Then he relocked the newly opened door, walked out of the yard, and got into Dr. A Li's car.

Just now, Toru Amuro sent an email asking him if he was back. If he was back, he would go to the detective agency.

——It’s better to take the cat with you before going. After finishing Amuro Toru's matter, I will distribute cats to customers on the spot. It's very efficient.

…

The Beetle drove a few blocks and stopped in front of a high-end-looking detached house.

Jiang Xia got out of the car and glanced at the letter at the door.

It was just a habitual glance.

However, after a few tenths of a second, he quickly turned his gaze back and carefully examined the wooden door plate again.

The house number of a single-family house usually only has the last name written on it, but there are also a small number of people who use the full name of the head of the family as the house number.

The family that kept the cat was the latter.

——The name "Da Shan Jiang" is engraved on the wooden sign with elegant texture.

Jiang Xia: "..."

It looks familiar.

Dr. Agasa is ringing the doorbell.

Suddenly he heard Jiang Xia ask casually from beside him: "Is this Mr. Dashan your friend? Did you also know him from the academy?"

"Yes, he is a doctor of medicine from Toto University. He has ordered a lot of medical products from me, and he is familiar with it after two visits." Dr. A Li's eyes briefly turned into the shape of "$", and then changed back again, " He happened to like cats very much, so I entrusted the cats to his care.”
