Conan’s Corpse Picker

In the days when Conan fell into chaos, trying to explain the "prophetic phenomenon" scientifically.

Jiang Xia drove the puppet to the black market and got her new passbook.

Gold coins have been dealt with. After deducting various commissions, there are more than 700 million left. The fee charged by the middleman is a bit shady, but it is the first time for Anonymous to appear on the black market, and there are no contacts and reputation points, so the price is still fair.

...

After getting the money, Jiang Xia remembered the energy core that was upgraded for the ghost, and took time to visit museums, jewelry stores, art galleries and other places.

But just like a year ago, I couldn't find what I wanted.

The huge sum of money in the passbook suddenly became dull.

In the end, Jiang Xia simply went to the green plant market and bought a few potted plants that were not cost-effective but very beautiful. They wanted to buy but didn't buy them before.

...

When the potted plants were raised until they bloomed, Sonoko Suzuki sent a message: [See you at the station tomorrow! ]

Jiang Xia was startled. station?

After thinking for a moment, he remembered. Last time, after the KTV turned into a murder scene, Suzuki Sonoko reluctantly offered another ghost picker...well, the place to play——the mountain villa her sister bought newly.

...

Suzuki Sonoko is the daughter of the chairman of the Suzuki Foundation.

The Suzuki consortium is synonymous with the "rich" in this world.

There are so many villas in their family. The most enviable thing is that almost every one of them has a homicide.

While Jiang Xia was looking forward to it, he had some doubts.

——There are too many villas in the Suzuki family, and he is not sure which one has the accident this time.

However, the unknown can sometimes be a surprise.

Specifically, you will know when you go.

...

Jiang Xia asked Amuro Toru for leave in advance.

At noon the next day, he packed his luggage and arrived at the Shinkansen station.

Soon, Jiang Xia found the three companions—Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko, and Conan, who was never absent.

...

Driving is kind of boring.

On the way, Suzuki Sonoko tried to have a long talk with Jiang Xia, but failed.

——It can be seen that Jiang Xia is trying to chat with her, but the two have not found a common topic, and the chatting process is very difficult. In the end, Suzuki Sonoko tearfully decided to accept it as soon as it was good, so as not to talk about Jiang Xia's psychological shadow. To be sustainable.

In the end, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan chatted about Conan - this kid who appeared out of thin air.

Conan doesn't mind being discussed about his life experience by his classmates, anyway, the life experience of "Conan Edogawa" is all made up.

But seeing that Jiang Xia was also listening in... Conan gradually became a little restless.

Last time, after leaving KTV, Conan felt that Jiang Xia had ripped off his vest.

He originally thought that Jiang Xia would ask him about becoming younger afterwards, but he didn't. Everything in Jiang Xia was as usual, as if she hadn't noticed anything.

Conan then comforted himself in his heart—even if "Edogawa Conan" and "Kudo Shinichi" looked exactly the same, Jiang Xia, as his neighbor, had seen him when he was young; even if Conan was around the time Kudo Shinichi disappeared. , suddenly appeared at the doctor's house; even if Conan is often inattentive and behaves like an all-rounder who knows a lot, even if he doesn't look like an ordinary elementary school student, even...

...

Conan: "..."

...you can't lie to yourself any longer.

——Jiang Xia must know that "Conan" is related to "Kudo Shinichi".

As for why he didn't come to ask... Maybe he felt that the two were unfamiliar and didn't want to pry into the neighbor's secrets.

It may also be that Jiang Xia, as a detective, still cannot accept the absurd thing that "adults become smaller" that violates the law of conservation of matter, so she is deliberately avoiding it.

...

But now, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan suddenly chatted about the life experience of "Conan Edogawa" full of loopholes...

Conan couldn't help worrying: If we continue to talk like this, if Jiang Xia really comes to ask about "becoming smaller", what should I say?

If the truth is told, then the topic will definitely involve that terrible organization, and then Jiang Xia will be involved, causing Jiang Xia to become the target of the black organization because she knows too much.

But if it's a lie... what kind of lie can fool Jiang Xia?

Conan thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea.

He jumped off his seat and planned to sneak to the bathroom—maybe the students wouldn't continue talking about "Conan" if they couldn't see him.

Evasion is shameless, but effective.

...

Walking along the corridor of the train for a while, and out of sight of the students, Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the car just stopped, and the two stepped onto the train one after the other.

Conan glanced inadvertently, saw the person getting into the car clearly, and was startled suddenly.

——They were two very familiar tall men in black.

Conan looked at the wide chin of one of them with sunglasses, and the long and straight silver of the other, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and cold sweat dripped down his cheeks.

... This is the culprit of those two who poured strange poison into him and made him smaller!
