Corpse collector in Conan

Chapter 204 Jiangxia is so terrifying 11

There are quite a few empty seats on the boat.

Jiang Xia sat by the window, and everyone else followed him.

Sitting next to them were two young women, one of whom had long, smooth black hair and the other had short brown hair and a pair of glasses. The two were talking in a low voice.

Hattori Heiji listened, frowning slightly, and couldn't help but look at his neighbor.

——It wasn’t that there was something wrong with the content of their conversation, but that he always felt that the voice of the short-haired woman among them was very familiar.

Hattori Heiji looked at the commission letter in his hand, remembered the phone call he made to the sender before, and suddenly had an idea.

He tentatively chatted: "Kadori Saori?"

The short-haired woman sitting next to her was startled, raised her head, and looked at them warily.

Hattori Heiji was also startled.

...I didn’t expect it to be this client. What a coincidence.

Speaking of which, this seat seems to have been chosen by Jiang Xia.

This idea flashed through Hattori Heiji's mind, and he quickly extinguished it before he could reach any conclusion - Jiang Xia is indeed quick-thinking and solves cases quickly, but it is impossible for everything to be planned by him. It must be him. Thinking too much...

Hattori Heiji and the woman sitting next to him looked at each other for a moment, suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, and decided to get down to business first.

He found the commission letter and money, walked over and gave it back to Kadori Saori.

After Hattori Heiji spoke up just now, Kadori Saori recognized him—this was the Osaka detective she had asked for help before.

Kadori Saori remembered what Hattori Heiji told her to see a doctor, her eyes twitched, and she didn't want to talk to this person.

But she was really afraid of being punished by the mermaid, and she discovered that there was another famous detective traveling with Hattori Heiji.

Kadori Saori had met Jiang Xia on a detective program and had seen reports about him.

Because of this, she always has the feeling that "Jiangxia is very expensive".

Previously, when she was anxious to ask a detective for help, Kadori Saori calculated her savings and chose a detective she felt she could afford.

She didn't know when the mermaid would bring relief, and she was worried that if she couldn't hire Jiangxia, it would be too late to hire a second person, so she spent all her savings on Hattori Heiji.

Unexpectedly, this move attracted Jiang Xia.

Kadori Saori breathed a sigh of relief instantly, feeling that the god of luck was on her side.

Therefore, when Hattori Heiji asked her for details, Kadori Saori suppressed her anger at the detective who asked her to "check her brain" and told her about the trouble she encountered. The people at the two tables naturally merged into one table.

——On the Mermaid Island, there is a 130-year-old "destiny". It is said that she ate mermaid meat and was given magical powers by the mermaid.

During the Mermaid Festival every year, the fortune-teller will randomly send out three "dugong arrows". The dugong arrows are tied with her hair. Those who possess these magical arrows can live forever.

But if the holder loses the arrow or the arrow is damaged, the mermaid will bring disaster.

Last year, Kadori Saori drew a dugong arrow, but a few days ago, she lost her arrow. She believed that she would be punished by the mermaid, so she panicked and looked for help.

When Kadori Saori mentioned the mermaid, she trembled unconsciously. It was a kind of awe and fear from the bottom of her heart.

A group of high school students looked at her in confusion - how could she be so superstitious at such a young age?

The long-haired woman sitting next to Kadori Saori is her childhood friend, Shimabukuro Kimie.

Jiang Xia's eyes mostly stopped on this person - the murderous aura that smelled like sweet and sour fish was emanating from her.

Shimabukuro Kimie is a shrine maiden at the Mermaid Island Shrine. She is also the great-granddaughter of the immortal "Ming Xiang". During the festival, she will help Ming Xiang distribute dugong arrows.

Shimabukuro Kimie also knew that Kadori Saori's reaction was too great. She cleared her throat in embarrassment and explained in a low voice for her companion:

"Well, this is actually my fault - there is no curse on the dugong arrows, and there is no divine power. I was worried that the people who got the arrows would come back to us to settle accounts due to quality issues, so I made up the 'If you doubt the power of the dugong arrows, or make There is a saying that if you lose it, the mermaid will bring disaster, but in fact there is no such thing..."

Kadori Saori interrupted her excitedly: "How could it not be?! Haven't you seen those mermaid bones that were burned in the warehouse three years ago! ... That is the evidence of the existence of mermaids!"

Shimabukuro Kime's face turned slightly stiff.

After a moment, she shook her head helplessly: "You actually believe what the media is adding to the topic..."

Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at her.

——As Kadori Saori mentioned what happened three years ago, the smell of sweet and sour fish on Shimashiro Kimie became stronger, and the scope of the murderous aura suddenly expanded, almost completely covering him in it.

Jiangxia is surrounded by murderous aura and is a little hungry. Unfortunately, the murderous aura cannot be suppressed for the time being...

The ghosts floating next to Jiang Xia also began to secretly wipe the corners of their mouths.

Jiang Xia silently pulled one over and hugged him. The hungry man and the ghost comforted each other, but the effect was not obvious.

Jiang Xia then took out another stick of ghost mint with high-grade murderous aura from the cigarette case and held it in his mouth, suppressing the smell of sweet and sour fish.

At the same time, he also suppressed the desire to immediately take Shimabukuro Kime out and beat him up, so as to sip a few traces of murderous aura to satisfy his greed.

...I made a mistake. I shouldn't have sat so close just now.

I didn’t expect that her murderous aura could be so fluffy. Is she truly a magical witch?

Toyama Kazuha, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko saw Jiang Xia taking a cigarette and turned this way at the same time. Even Conan looked over, and the points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of "The Dangers of Teenage Smoking" came to mind.

But seeing that Jiang Xia was just biting and not ordering, after hesitating for a moment, they still didn't say anything.

Maybe this is some unique way to relieve stress...

Jiang Xia's eyes were filled with fragrant murderous aura, and he didn't notice that his classmates were staring at his ghost mint with eager eyes.

While fighting the desire to kill, he sorted out the things on Mermaid Island in his mind.
