Corpse collector in Conan

Chapter 2266 2270 [Weaknesses of minions]

After saying that, Jiang Xia looked at Maya Hashimoto, who was being held by several children, and said with a smile: "Just kidding - you seem to be very busy recently? Why haven't you come to work for so long?"

When Maya Hashimoto heard this, she felt excited for some reason, and instinctively explained: "Suddenly there are some things that I can't get rid of. I will come back as soon as they are dealt with."

Jiang Xia seemed startled, and then said considerately: "If something happens, of course you have to deal with your own affairs first. I'm actually not that short of manpower here, so there's no need to be so formal."

Maya Hashimoto came back to her senses: "..." It must be because Wu Zuo is always lingering around Jiang Xia. As a result, now that I see Jiang Xia, I think of Wu Zuo, and then experience a terrible sense of oppression... This must be Wu Zuo. Don’t be fooled by Zuo’s alienation plan! Although my people can no longer escape, my thoughts must be free!

Jiang Xia looked at his slightly changed expression and the sudden weakening of murderous aura in his body, and was silent for a moment: "..." Why is it different from the changes he imagined?

The younger brother's thoughts were elusive, so Jiang Xia simply stopped paying attention and looked at Conan: "What happened to you?"

Conan: "One..."

He originally wanted to say "a small commission", but looking at Maya Hashimoto and Jiang Xia who came after receiving an anonymous email, Conan fell into deep thought for a moment: Could it be that he had misunderstood? This was not a simple oolong incident, but Is there really something hidden behind it?

No matter what, it’s here, and it’s necessary to check it out.

Conan returned to the store and planned to go to the room with the "no entry" sign to check the situation.

However, when I turned around, I saw the young detective team who had been very active just huddled together, whispering: "Why don't you go home first? I haven't finished my homework for today."

Conan: "..." There is no homework at all today. You just don't dare to investigate the case in a naughty way under Jiang Xia's nose.

He shook his head, thinking that it would be a good idea for these little brats to go back, as this would prevent them from being involved in danger.

However, Conan soon discovered that he had overestimated the courage of the naughty children: the three children pushed me and I pushed you. In the end, no one dared to say to Jiang Xia, "Haha, we are leaving." They just stayed at the scene silently.

Only Rintaro Mori, who has not had much contact with detectives, welcomed this great detective who fell from the sky very much: "I will take you to Uncle Kamekura right now!"

He ran back to the restaurant with a group of people and knocked on the door that was extremely mysterious to him.

With a creak, the door slowly opened a crack.

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks leaned forward and glanced outside the door.

Jiangxia and Hashimoto Maya stood far away, so Kamekura Yuuji's eyes fell on a few children first. He saw his little boss at a glance: "Rintaro? What's the matter?"

Rintaro Mori: "Uh..."

He didn't think about how to ask. He couldn't ask "Do you have a conspiracy?" face to face.

Conan looked at this real elementary school student and had no choice but to step forward silently. He pretended to be innocent as a child, looked at Kamekura Yuuji with admiration and said:

"That's right, we heard that since you came here, uncle, the business of the restaurant has been getting better and better day by day. You are like the reincarnation of a koi! - Can you let me see your palm?"

"Palmistry?" Kamekura Yuuji glanced at the superstitious child, thought for a moment, then he smiled and stretched out his hand, "Let's see."

As soon as he spread his hands, Conan's expression suddenly changed.

When Kamekura Yuuji retreated to his secret room, Conan pushed the others away and whispered: "His hands are full of calluses."

...Is it possible that that man is really digging tunnels with a shovel every day?

"It may also be the traces left by the chef who weighs pots and cooks every day." Jiang Xia said, "From your description, this is very similar to the case of the Red-haired Society. In this case, let's go to the neighborhood to confirm first and see if there are any There is no 'treasury' worth a thief spending two or three months digging through."

Theoretically, if there is such an important case, the first thing to do should be to call the police.

Maya Hashimoto thought of this and suddenly realized: It seems that Jiang Xia didn't think that someone was digging a tunnel secretly, but maybe it was to not rule out every possibility, or maybe it was to teach the young detectives, this high school student detective didn't make any mistakes. These, instead, patiently accompany the children to explore the case.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." What a good detective, but Jiang Xia may not know yet that these good prospects he is eyeing have been quietly tainted by a terrible guy.

As he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance at Conan: This little devil is really guilty.

Several people followed their normal thinking and walked around the street.

The three children from the Youth Detective Team did not dare to run away. They found that Jiang Xia looked relatively kind at the moment. The three of them understood. They all put on a well-behaved look, imitating the detective assistants who occasionally appeared on TV.

"There is a bank!...Well, the notice says it has been closed for a week. It must be going bankrupt, so its vault must be very empty."

"There is also a gem shop here, and the gem shop is open!"

With the dedicated work of several small intelligence agents, store intelligence was quickly gathered.

Jiang Xia glanced at the gem store and walked in.

"Detective?" The owner of the gem shop is a middle-aged man wearing a suit and very Western-style clothing, with a slightly curly mustache.

He laughed loudly after hearing the purpose of this group of detectives:

"There may be thieves on this street? Don't worry, our store has the most complete and tightest security. No one can steal jewelry from us - this is also thanks to the lessons learned by the previous store owner."

Jiang Xia looked at the jewelry store manager with his flag raised high, and while handing him his business card, he quickly extracted the key words: "The lessons learned from the previous store owner?"

"That's right." The shop owner stroked his beard and sighed, "This store lost a batch of jewelry worth three hundred million yen, and the gangster has not been caught and brought to justice until now."

"If it hadn't been like this, I wouldn't have been able to kick out the previous store owner... Well, I mean, if it hadn't been like this, we wouldn't have adopted the latest anti-theft system to protect this store impregnably."

Jiang Xia: "When did that theft occur?"

"Let me think about it..." the shop owner thought, "almost five years ago."

Conan was originally doubting something, but when he heard this age, he gave up his thoughts:

"I thought the jewelry thief had hidden the gems nearby and planned to sneak back to retrieve them after the prosecution period... But the civil prosecution period for gem theft is a full twenty years. Since the theft occurred five years ago, Now, it seems I guessed wrong."

At this moment, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya suddenly said excitedly: "I understand, I understand everything!"

Conan: "...?"
