Corpse collector in Conan

During the stage of the reasoning game, Jiang Xia secretly lowered her speed in solving crimes.

During a short break and when there was no camera pointed at him, Jiang Xia looked at Hijikata Kozaburo from time to time and quickly looked away before the other party looked back. It seems that he is worried about being found out.

After the recording ended, Jiang Xia looked at Hijikata, who came over to talk to him and left his business card, and showed a smile that seemed very guilty at first, but actually came from the bottom of his heart.

…

According to regulations, mobile phones are not allowed when recording this program.

After Jiang Xia finished recording the program and received the ghost-picking invitation letter from Hijikata Kozaburo himself, he left the studio and took his mobile phone from the staff.

When he walked out of the building, he put away his business card and turned on his phone screen.

I saw a lot of missed calls on my phone.

Mainly from Mori Ran, Mori Kogoro and Conan.

...Why are you so anxious to find him all of a sudden? That digital murderer finally started causing trouble?

Jiang Xia was about to call back and ask about the situation.

However, as soon as he reached the corner of the street, a police car rushed towards him.

The car screeched to a halt on the side of the road. Two policemen who looked familiar and had seen them at some murder scenes before ran out of the car. They yelled "Found it!" into the phone while striding closer.

Jiang Xia: "...?"

...for what?

Why do you look like you are searching and arresting people?

... Was he caught speeding on a motorcycle in the middle of the night?

…

A little further in time.

In the short interval of half a day, the Memu Police Department, Fei Yingli, and Dr. Ali were attacked one after another.

The three people were not seriously injured, but their social circles overlapped significantly. In addition, each time, the attacker dropped a paper prop at the scene.

Therefore, this is considered to be a series of related attacks.

Conan quickly found out what the three incidents had in common——

The first one to be attacked was the Memu Police Department. His full name is Megure Shisan. After the murderer attacked him, he dropped a short dagger made of cardboard. In the picture of the playing card with the King of Spades, which is the 13 of spades, the king also holds such a dagger.

The second person to be sent to the hospital was Fei Yingli. Her name "Fei" can be associated with the Queen in playing cards. The poisoned food sent to her by the murderer had a paper flower attached to it. In the picture of the playing card Q, the queen is holding a similar flower in her hand.

The third person to be attacked was Dr. Ali, Shi Neng was broken into "Eleven". After the murderer attacked him, what he threw into the yard was the fried dough stick-shaped sword held by the Knight of Spades J.

This reasoning is well-founded, so Mouri Kogoro and the police believe that the person who will be attacked next is the person with "ten" in his name, and that person must have an intersection with Moori Kogoro like the previous three people.

Based on this information, the Megure Police Department, who went into battle injured, speculated that the murderer may be Murakami's father who was recently released from prison. Ten years ago, Murakami's father had a grudge against Kogoro Mori, who was a policeman at the time.

Mouri Kogoro suddenly became the center of the case.

On the one hand, the Megure Police Department immediately arranged a search for Murakami's father-in-law, and on the other hand, they urged Mouri Kogoro to quickly think about who around him could be connected to "Ten".

Mouri Kogoro racked his brains for a long time and found a possible candidate - the proprietress of a club he frequented was called "Towako".

Mao Lilan thought of another person.

She stood up nervously: "Jiang Xia's name also has '十' in it! 'Tongzhi' can be separated from the 'Zhi', not to mention 'Tong', there is '十' next to the word "木". In addition, Turn the content in the 'Same' box sideways - it's the Arabic numeral '10'!"

Maori Kogoro:"!"

Memu Police Department: "!"

The police quickly contacted two people who may be related to "Ten".

Towako quickly answered the phone. She is still in her high-end club. There are many security guards here and she has not seen anyone suspicious.

No one answered Jiang Xia's call.

The more Conan looked at the police dialing, the more solemn his expression became - according to Mao Lilan, Jiang Xia's name can contain three "tens", and it has both Chinese characters and Arabic numerals, which is really in line with the law of numerical murder. , there is simply a feeling of abandoning others.

Moreover, Jiangxia is a detective, in the same profession as Mouri Kogoro. Whether it's due to the natural antagonism between criminals and detectives, or his hatred for Kogoro Mouri, Jiang Xia's situation is very dangerous.

What's more, he didn't answer the phone.

Could it be that he has been killed...

Conan shook his head and tried not to make such speculations - thinking on the bright side, Jiang Xia's skills are much more flexible than those of the Megure Police Department and Dr. Agasa... Maybe Jiang Xia didn't answer the phone because he was attacked by Murakami just now. He dodged the attack and held down the criminal with his backhand. At this time, he was busy stepping on Murakami and beating him.

Conan remembered that the last time Jiang Xia was obsessed with knocking out bombers, he never answered the phone.

However, the latter optimistic speculation became dim as the phone calls continued to be unreachable.

——The time of not answering the phone is too long.

The iron man may not be able to keep Jiang Xia for such a long time.

Since Jiang Xia didn't answer the phone, it wasn't because he was hitting the attacker. Then...did the attacker really succeed in the sneak attack?

The expression on Mu Mu's police department gradually became ugly. He sent many people to find Jiang Xia, hoping to make it in time.

…

Jiang Xia was taken directly from the door of the TV station building to the police station.

Several paparazzi standing guard in front of the TV station heard the siren of the police car and looked over excitedly. At the same time, they clicked the shutter repeatedly - if a celebrity is pulled away by the police as soon as he goes out, he will definitely be able to buy it at a good price.

However, after taking the photos and seeing who was pulled into the car, the paparazzi's mood changed from excitement to calmness, and finally put down the camera without any interest.

If you have time to take a picture of a famous detective being pulled by the police to help solve a case, why not take a picture of a little sparrow on the roadside. Waste of film...

…

Jiang Xia never expected that after working hard for a long time to pick up the cat, he would not use it at all in the end.

——There is no need to wait for Xu Shengyi's "Nine", "Ten" has already involved him.

Although Jiangxia's current full name is "Jiangxia Tongzhi", the name "Tongzhi" is rarely used.

The pronunciation of the names of islanders usually includes phonetic pronunciation, training pronunciation, and messy pronunciation...

Unfortunately, the phonetic pronunciation of the name "Tongzhi" is similar to the language Jiang Xia is accustomed to, which makes him feel very out of touch.

So Jiang Xia used excuses such as "Just call me by my last name, it feels like I am carrying my parents' names before going forward" as a reason to let people around me who are familiar with him only call him by his last name.

As for people you don’t know well...what do you call them by their first name? Of course, just call them by their last name.

For Jiang Xia, the surname is the full name, which is very comfortable to use.

So picking up bodies that others don’t want is also a technical job...
