Conan’s Corpse Picker

Realizing that "there is a detective in the secret passage", Nishikawa Suimi suddenly panicked.

If I remember correctly, Mrs. Zhen Tai’s body was very close to where Jiang Xia entered.

If that body was seen...

Xi Chuan Suimei thought about it, and gradually became murderous.

So just now, she locked herself in the room on the pretext of wanting to rest.

Then he carried a wooden stick and sneaked into the secret passage from another entrance, planning to use his "familiarity with the secret passage" to sneak attack Jiang Xia and kill the detective who knew too much.

However, Xi Chuan Suimei wandered in the secret passage for a long time, but could not find Jiang Xia.

"..." Where did the person go...

She nervously grasped the stick in her hand.

…

As soon as Xi Chuan Suimei entered the secret passage, Jiang Xia immediately locked her position.

——Although the soul burned to death by Nishikawa Suimei died in a daze, it floated over and grabbed her. But Nishikawa Suimei also killed the real dowager.

Mrs. Tai knew very well who her murderer was, so the shikigami she transformed into after her death was firmly on Nishikawa Suimei's legs, becoming Jiang Xia's locator.

…

When Nishikawa Suimei entered the secret passage, Jiang Xia had already picked up all the shikigami.

He told the truth about the castle fire to the shikigami in the paper bag who died in vain.

Just when he was about to eliminate his obsessions and sign a contract in batches... Nishikawa Suimi came to his door.

…

In the dark secret passage.

After Nishikawa Suimei passed by.

Jiang Xia walked up behind her silently and was about to take the stick she brought with her from behind and knock the person down and give her a good beating.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something and made a move.

"..." Xichuan Suimei killed so many people at once in order to seize the treasure. Just give her a good beating and the shikigami may not fall off.

Shikigami with the same cause of death gather together, interfere with each other, and superimpose each other. It will give rise to stronger obsessions.

The disembowelment murderer at Izu Beach last time only had four shikigami on his body, but after he was beaten like that, none of the shikigami relaxed at all. It was only after he "committed suicide" by jumping off the cliff that Miyano Akemi successfully tore out his soul.

And now, more people are dying in vain...

…

When Nishikawa Suimei walked away, Jiang Xia opened the paper bag, lowered his head and counted carefully.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... a total of eighteen souls.

Count again, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven...still eighteen.

When Jiang Xia was counting, Xiaobai and Miyano Akemi looked up and saw his movements, and were slightly startled.

After a while, the two ghosts skillfully climbed up Jiang Xia's legs and came to the paper bag, trying to get to the back of the line and help Jiang Xia count.

The Tengu Ghost had never experienced this kind of "ordering troops" scene. It flapped its wings and flew up, confusedly observed the situation, and tentatively lined up behind Miyano Akemi.

Jiang Xia clicked on the three ghosts with his fingertips. After clicking, he almost wanted to release the other shikigami in his heart... But in the end, he realized that now was not the time to count these things, so he had to regretfully stop and do business first.

…

In short, with so many vengeful souls gathering together and just giving them a simple beating, it might be difficult for the matter to end.

Even ordinary death may not be able to eliminate the obsession of shikigami.

...Having said that, Jiang Xia did not intend to kill anyone.

For ordinary people, death is the end. But for psychics, death may be just the beginning of trouble.

After the death of most people, they cannot generate very strong souls.

However, the aura of a spiritual medium is rather special. There are many examples in history of people who died at the hands of spiritual mediums, became overly blackened, and became the souls of big bosses when they landed.

For Jiang Xia, the situation of "being killed by a blackened soul after killing someone" is roughly equivalent to "randomly rolling a number from 1-100,000, and if the number is '64541', you will die suddenly on the spot."

——This is actually an event with extremely low probability. But as long as there is a probability, it means that that situation is likely to happen.

According to experience, the best way to avoid it is not to shake it at all.

…

While Jiang Xia was thinking.

Xichuan Suimei searched the entire tunnel but could not find any trace of Jiang Xia.

She gradually frowned, worried that Jiang Xia had left the secret passage. So she didn't stay any longer and left quickly, planning to go outside first and use her identity as "old lady" to inquire about the situation.

…

In the secret passage, more than ten meters away.

Jiang Xia looked at the exit where Xichuan Suimei disappeared, recalled the layout of the tunnel, and turned around to the other side.
