Corpse collector in Conan

Jiang Xia opened her eyes in the ceramics classroom.

As soon as I woke up, I almost fell asleep again - driving Anonymous for such a long distance, and also using Tengu Ghost's death reappearance, consumed a lot of energy.

However, before falling asleep again, Jiang Xia's eyes stopped on someone in the ceramics classroom.

It was an old grandfather with an artistic Mediterranean hairstyle and a murderous aura wrapped around his body.

Jiang Xia looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and decided to indulge in a splurge of ghost mint to prevent excessive sleepiness from affecting her painful multiple-choice question of "murderous or ghost" later.

While others were chatting and making pottery, Jiang Xia opened the door and went out, sharing a piece of ghost mint with the monk ghost who had just used his skill.

He has to take back what he said before.

The reappearance of death is still somewhat useful, at least it can make some guilty people jump off the cliff.

It's just that it's very tiring to use - mainly because it consumes too much of the puppet. It dies every time you use it, and the energy lost is much more than normal.

Fortunately, Jiangxia had collected a lot of ghost mint before. When it comes to replenishing energy, this stuff works instantly. With one stick down, Jiang Xia quickly got out of the state where he could fall asleep at any time.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Xia didn't go back to the house immediately.

After the puppets are usually dispersed, the ghost fetus and the bound shikigami can directly return to the seal on Jiang Xia's heart.

But like this time, the new shikigami and murderous aura were not bound, so we had to ask Miyano Akemi to help transport them back.

Jiang Xia waited at the door. After a while, Miyano Akemi floated back out of breath, carrying the shikigami and murderous intent on her back.

A normal ghost fetus is as big as a pillow, while a shikigami is usually only about the size of a palm. The four shikigami that were originally clinging to the murderer were rolled up into a small package by Miyano Akemi's murderous aura and carried on her back.

Miyano Akemi floated to the door, placed the murderous aura and shikigami at Jiang Xia's feet, and then fell to the ground, flattened into a piece of ghost. Traveling back through mountains and rivers is very tiring.

Jiang Xia rubbed her head, rolled up a few sticks of ghost mint with the murderous aura she carried back, and lit one of them.

Miyano Akemi smelled the fragrance, raised her head and looked around, her eyes quickly fixed on Jiang Xia's hand. She squirmed over and hugged Jiang Xia's hand holding the cigarette, feeling happy.

Jiang Xia finished feeding the ghost and returned to the pottery classroom.

…

Previously, Toru Amuro planned to ask Jiang Xia to make up pottery lessons temporarily so as to gain the favor of the potters and get close to them easily.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Jiang Xia was in the same state of sleep and standby as yesterday.

Toru Amuro had never observed Jiang Xia for a long time before, and was not sure whether this was Jiang Xia's normal behavior or whether he was really possessed by something strange.

However, no matter what it is, the plan to let Jiang Xia, a "talented apprentice", to gain favor has gone bankrupt.

Fortunately, although Jiang Xia lost his temper, his two classmates were both very skillful and cute girls. They were greatly appreciated by the grandfather, and the atmosphere in the pottery classroom gradually became harmonious.

Jiang Xia returned to the classroom, got some information from the helper, and activated his "prophecy" ability.

The murderous Mediterranean old man named Mino Muneyuki is the manager of this pottery classroom and the younger brother of the national treasure pottery master "Kikuemon".

Mino Muneyuki had a daughter. A few years ago, Kikuemon's young apprentice became Mino Muneyuki's son-in-law, and the two families became closer and had a better relationship.

However, two years ago, Mino Munetsu's only daughter passed away in a car accident, and Mino Munetsu was devastated.

Jiang Xia looked at the murderous aura on Minou Zongzhi's body, and then at the young and beautiful female employees in the store, and vaguely guessed the source of his murderous aura.

Mino Muneyuki's son-in-law--that is, Kikuemon's young apprentice--cheated on a beautiful female employee in the store. The death of Mino Muneyuki's daughter in a car accident was not an accident, but a deliberate suicide after discovering that her husband had cheated on her.

So Mino Zongzhi decided to kill this cheating scumbag and put the blame on the female employees.

Jiang Xia originally didn't want to intervene. According to his experience, the murderous desire to avenge relatives, especially parents to avenge their children, is really difficult to dispel.

Originally, he wanted to expose the culprit easily, gain a reputation, and pick up the ghost at the same time.

However, after a while, the cheating son-in-law came back from outside.

When Jiang Xia saw her son-in-law, she was slightly startled. She realized that the actual situation was different from her "prophecy" - her son-in-law was actually also surrounded by murderous aura.

Jiang Xia looked at the murderous old Mediterranean man and then at his son-in-law, who also had murderous intent, and fell into deep thought.

Although it is not clear who the son-in-law wants to kill for the time being, judging from his calm reaction when he saw Mino Zong, the son-in-law's target is not the father-in-law who wants to kill him, but someone else.

Jiang Xia secretly thought: Maybe she could first pick up the shikigami caused by her son-in-law's murder. Later, if the son-in-law was not caught, he could also pick up the shikigami killed by his father-in-law... This would be better than letting his son-in-law die immediately. Much more cost-effective.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia stood up, glanced at Mino Muneyuki who was looking for an opportunity to kill, and rolled up his sleeves.

Today, let me show you what it means to be thirsty for knowledge.
