Conan’s Corpse Picker

Conan, who was watching silently, said: "..." The reason for panic is probably because he saw you. Children are more likely to be afraid of violence, and Jiang Xia's aura was indeed a bit scary when he "acted bravely for justice" in the past.

Although Haiyuan Ai felt that there was no need for children to be afraid of Jiang Xia, the same thought secretly flashed through his heart.

"That..." Yoshida Ayumi was looking at Jiang Xia and hesitated to speak.

Perhaps among the three of them, she had been rescued more times by Jiang Xia. Although she was scared, she actually had a little more trust in the "handsome but vicious big brother" in front of her.

Yoshida Ayumi struggled for a while, but finally said hesitantly: "We were catching fish in the park nearby, and when we were preparing for a picnic, we suddenly smelled a strange smell..."

"weird smell?"

"Yeah." Yoshida Ayumi nodded, thought for a moment, and raised her hand to gesture, "It's just... I've smelled it once before, in the library, that kind of corpse that had been left for a while..."

"Corpse odor?!" Conan was startled, turned his attention away from the chocolate in his hand, and said more seriously, "Are you sure?"

Jiang Xia touched his chin and looked at the three real children in front of him. At such a young age, they can even remember the smell of corpses... They really have a lot of experience in "encountering murders".

The three children heard Conan's question and nodded at the same time. And subconsciously looked at Jiang Xia, the recently very famous detective, wanting to hear the opinions of professionals.

When he looked up, he found that for some reason, Jiang Xia looked at them with a hint of envy.

"..."

The three of them shuddered and moved back unconsciously. Maintain due fear of strange emotions.

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya wiped off the cold sweat and tried to escape with his friends: "After we smelled the smell, we searched nearby, but we couldn't find any place where the body could be hidden.

"Originally, we wanted to ask Conan and Xiao Ai to come over and help. But Conan didn't reply to the message... Anyway, now, thinking about it carefully, maybe we heard it wrong. That, it was probably just a false alarm, so we left first..."

——He didn't want to be regarded as a "lying bad boy" by Jiang Xia. He decided to fool this detective who had too much justice first, and then work with the young detective team to find possible cases.

However, although they wanted to say goodbye like Toshihide Wakamatsu just now, the running speed of the children was far less than that of the muscular man.

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima dropped the words "I heard it wrong" and planned to run away. However, he tried hard to run for a few steps, only to realize that he had become airborne and could not run out at all.

Jiang Xia picked up the young detective team that came to his door one by one, and said kindly: "To be on the safe side, let's go over and have a look - children are often very observant, and your opinions should not be ignored."

Ayumi Yoshida was surprised when she heard that Jiang Xia believed in them. She was a little touched for a moment and nodded her head excitedly.

The other two hanging little boys stared at her silently: "..." Please wake up! What if this is for fishing law enforcement?

…

This area is close to the suburbs and the sites are not densely populated.

There were two or three streets between the station where they were and the place where the Junior Detective Group caught fish.

The next three people followed the children towards the park.

As they walked and approached the park, Jiang Xia noticed that the ghosts seemed to be confused. They looked very much like when they were at Minagawa's house just now, they gathered together to discuss whether the perfume smelled murderous or not.

Jiang Xia observed for a while, and then used the action of patting his clothes to pick up the two ghosts with more sensitive senses and put them on his shoulders, thereby transferring the place of their discussion to his ears.

Then I heard it clearly.

——The ghosts seem to feel that there is a vague aura of ghost fetuses ahead.

But the aura was very strange, and judging from the sensing distance, the possible new ghost was obviously not far away from them, but the ghosts' induction of it was not obvious.

"..." Jiang Xia also became confused.

According to the current "distance" given by the ghosts, at this distance, he should be able to vaguely feel the so-called "breath of the ghost fetus".

But it doesn't.

... Could it be that it was a very weak ghost?

Or are there other strange interferences that cause the ghosts to sense wrong things?

"..." In any case, it is rare to detect the aura of a new ghost fetus. Even if it's just a suspicion, you should go over and take a look.

As Jiang Xia thought, he lowered his head and glanced at the children leading the way. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that they looked like three cute boys giving money. His eyes became calm again.

…

When she reached the entrance of the park, Ayumi raised her hand and pointed to the center of the park from a distance.

There was a landscape tree with overgrown branches: "That's where I smelled it, under that tree - we had spread the tablecloth there before."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya hurriedly followed her words to pave the way: "But the smell is very light, it may be the smell of garbage left by other tourists..."

The smell is very light... Conan thought about it - according to his understanding of these three curious children, after detecting the abnormal smell, they will definitely look for it nearby. At present, it seems that except for the so-called "very light corpse smell" under the tree, they have not found a stronger smell elsewhere. If there really is a source of the smell, it must be near that tree.

but……

Conan raised his head and looked around the tree carefully.

I found that the terrain there was flat, with no cover for hiding, and the land was a single piece with no trace of being disturbed. Although there are more branches on the tree, in the current season, the branches and leaves are sparse. At first glance, it is impossible to hide the body.

"..." Conan finished his simple observation, and his interest in this matter dropped slightly.

——Maybe it was just an unscrupulous person who came to have a BBQ nearby and left some raw meat used as ingredients nearby.

Recalling that he had just thought that there were really corpses hidden in the park based on just a few words from the children, Conan sighed quietly: Children are always surprised, and his thinking has been led astray by them. .

If you think about it carefully, there are not so many murder cases here - they just encountered one just now.

In Conan's impression, unless it was a serial murder case, he would rarely encounter two murder cases in a day.

……Um? No, wait.

"Very few" does not actually mean "none".

Speaking of which, in his past life, Conan remembered that he had actually encountered "more than one incident in a row in a day."

And those few times, if you count them carefully...Jiang Xia was present every time.
