Corpse collector in Conan

In the restaurant, a group of people were eating desserts while queuing up to take a bath.

After a while, "Uncle Foster" came back steaming with a towel on his shoulders.

Jiang Xia's eyes fell on him - on the short and strong legs of the fake wife, there was a shikigami that was also fresh and hot.

After the bathroom was vacated, other people went to take a bath one after another.

At around ten o'clock, Jiang Xia walked into the steamy bathroom. As soon as I entered the door, I stepped on a complete mass of murderous aura under my feet.

He subconsciously looked around and saw no one else, so he picked up the murderous aura and put it in his arms as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Xia was not surprised by this result. At least he had already thought of the current development when he saw the ghost on the leg of the fake wife.

In the impression, the step-in-law who had attended the wedding banquet planned to kill the "sister-in-law" while he was taking a bath. However, the fake wife is not a helpless old man, but a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master. Suddenly being stabbed in the back, he subconsciously fought back.

After one move, the stepmother was stabbed in the chest with the kitchen knife in her own hand, and unfortunately suffered a bloody blow.

The fake righteous man looked at the corpse for a while and realized that this situation could be regarded as self-defense and he should not go to jail.

But again, once this matter is discovered, he is bound to go to the police station. And once he leaves, the Brazilian boy, the son of Zhennai Yifang, will have to stay alone at Zhennai Yifang's house tomorrow, otherwise he will not get the inheritance.

Before this, they actually received two threatening letters, each from different people. In other words, besides this dead step-sister, there is another person who will be detrimental to them. He couldn't leave the Brazilian guy to go to the police station.

So the pretended wife hesitated for a moment, dragged her step-brother to the well in the courtyard, tied her with a well rope, and threw her body into the well. He also plans to wait until the will is announced tomorrow morning before revealing his identity as the "murderer" and taking notes.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia decided to let the body appear in public view as soon as possible.

At present, it seems that the hidden "Murderer No. 2" is relatively timid. With a little manipulation, it is not difficult to get the murderous aura from her body.

If we resolve this matter tonight, we can catch an early train back to Tokyo the next day to take advantage of the possible cases that Asami Endo may cause.

Although Jiang Xia has not yet thought of any cases related to the "real person reasoning game", it is easy to get into trouble as soon as he hears about this kind of activity. For example, when someone simulates a murder scene, someone fakes it and stabs out a corpse with a knife... Well, and a Just a ghost.

…

Jiang Xia dispersed her thoughts for a while, then put away her murderous intent and looked at the tub filled with hot water next to her.

Theoretically, he should take a shower first and then soak in the barrel.

But when he thought about the fact that at least three uncles had just been soaked in this tank of water, he didn't want to go in, even though the water looked clear and clean...

Jiang Xia stood next to the barrel and observed for a moment, then slowly turned his head and looked at the foggy dog ​​floating next to him.

Then he ignored the opponent's slightly exploded feathers and whispered: "Go take a dip and test the water temperature."

As people from the same island country, I guess they don't mind the custom of soaking in the same tank. The aunties just now actually soaked in the same tank.

In the absence of murderous aura, ghosts and real objects have very limited influence on each other.

But in the end, some feedback can still be received. For example, when ghosts pass through walls or pass through fixed objects, the resistance they receive will be slightly greater than floating in the air. This is why mermaids can happily bathe in various liquids.

In the same way, ghosts can also sense airflow or temperature and can help measure the water temperature... As soon as Jiang Xia thought of this, she saw the mermaid next to her jump into the water, holding the murderous aura she had been playing with for a long time as a swimming board. She was happy The earth is swimming in the water.

Jiang Xia: "..."

Next to it, the foggy dog ​​actually doesn’t like water very much.

Although the mermaid was fighting for its life, remembering what Jiang Xia had just said, it still did not dare to use any excuses to slow down its work. Instead, it slowly fell down, flapping its wings and hovering on the water, then slowly extended one leg and dipped it with its translucent toes. Get wet.

As an increasingly clever ghost, Wutian Dog keenly discovered that the focus of the owner's command just now was to "test the water temperature" rather than "take a dip."

So this should be fine...

Jiang Xia looked at the way Wutian Dog was cautious and didn't want to get his body wet, and then looked at the way the mermaid dived into the bucket and didn't want to get out. He sighed, and then handed over the task of measuring the water temperature to the mermaid, letting Wutian Dog do whatever he wanted. .

The foggy dog ​​flew out of the water with a swish, returned to the air, and secretly shook its feet.

Jiang Xia pulled a small stool from the side and sat down. After a while, when the mermaid told him that the water temperature was getting colder, Jiang Xia took a shower with some hot water on the side, letting some hot steam come out from the top of her head, pretending that she had taken a serious bath just now.

Soon, he returned to the restaurant as steamy as the others who had taken a shower before.

When the host politely asked how he felt, he responded truthfully: "The water is a bit cold."

On the way back just now, Jiang Xia piled up a puppet outside the side door of the nearby courtyard, and made the puppet appear to be half-covered by the door frame and peeking into the courtyard furtively - yes, that's right. The look that Kudo Yusaku had maintained before.

After hearing Jiang Xia say that the water was cold, Hiromi got up in the spirit of a host and prepared to run to the bathroom and heat it up again.

While Jiang Xia wiped the water from her hair, she passed by her and entered the house.

Just as she was about to sit down, Hiromi Hiromi's frightened screams suddenly came from the courtyard - she found a "suspicious person" peeping at the small door on the side.

Due to the energy cores accumulated previously and the energy drawn from the mermaid, the ghosts can already control the puppets alone to perform some very simple movements.

The moment he heard Hiromi Hiromi's scream, the puppet dodged to the side and was blocked by the door, completely disappearing from Hiromi Hinai's sight.

Jiang Xia thought slightly and dismissed the puppets.

Then he turned around and ran with the others to follow the sound, and found Hiromi Hinuchi who was sitting in the corridor and staring at the side door with a look of horror.

In the original world line, similar things happened. At that time, the "suspicious person" who scared Hiromi Niuchi and attracted everyone was the sneaky Kudo Yusaku.

But now, for some reason, Kudo Yusaku is still sleeping in the warehouse.

So Jiang Xia can only work part-time again, only in this way can it be natural...

He followed Hiromi Hiromi's direction and looked at the empty side door.

Then he quickly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the well not far away where a person had died, wondering: "Why is the bucket tied up there?"
