Corpse collector in Conan

Jiang Xia eavesdropped for a while and found that it seemed to be just an ordinary commission.

——The client's home was robbed, no money or jewelry was lost, only a piece of pottery was lost.

Then, the next day, he saw a pile of familiar broken pottery pieces near his home.

In other words, the thief struggled to steal a clay pot and then broke it.

This malicious and unpredictable behavior sent chills down the client's back.

He called the police, but the police were unable to find out.

After the client got off work, he complained about this matter to his friends at an izakaya.

On the way, the part-time worker in the izakaya asked him if he wanted to find a detective... This part-time worker was, of course, Toru Amuro.

So the client was deceived.

Jiang Xia thought for a while and couldn't remember a similar case in the original work.

There are a few pieces related to pottery, but the details are obviously not right.

...It's probably just the organization's mission, um, it could also be the police's.

…

Not long after, Toru Amuro left the client's contact information and sent him out.

Jiang Xia took back the ghost baby, and also took back his hearing, and got up to see off the guests.

If two people give it together, it looks better than if it is given by one person.

And this way, it will be easier to find suitable opportunities to talk.

Sure enough, after Amuro Toru saw the person off, he turned around and found someone else following him. He suddenly remembered that Jiang Xia had asked him for leave yesterday.

It seemed like he was going to the hospital.

So he casually asked, "How is it?"

Jiang Xia looked like he was hesitating to speak.

Toru Amuro originally just asked casually. He felt that Jiang Xia looked very normal, and the so-called visit to the hospital was probably just a routine check-up.

But now, why is he looking like this...

Feeling that there was something hidden, Toru Amuro asked, "What happened?"

...Isn’t it because I kept putting off going to the hospital that I developed a terminal illness? There seems to be this kind of plot in the story often.

But of course things were different than he thought.

Jiang Xia pondered: "That doctor... I always feel that he has killed people before."

Toru Amuro: "?"

Jiang Xia continued: "And my intuition tells me that everything is not over yet, and similar things may happen in the future."

Toru Amuro: "..." He subconsciously rolled up his sleeves and his eyes became sharp.

He suspected that Jiang Xia's current mental state was not normal.

I heard that when treating diseases, there is a kind of therapy that accelerates the progression of the disease and then uses the body’s self-healing mechanism to treat the disease...

Is it possible that mental problems can also be solved in this way?

Or maybe Jiang Xia went to the hospital and was reminded of bad memories, so her illness that was suppressed suddenly became serious?

...To be on the safe side, it’s best to take someone over for another check.

Jiang Xia felt that Toru Amuro's expression was a little strange.

He took a step back and added more emphasis: "And he has a gun in his bag. I can't be mistaken."

In fact, it was Xiaobai who saw the gun.

However, it was his ghost anyway, rounding it off was what he saw.

"Yeah……"

Toru Amuro finally reacted to the information about "gun" and began to think about another possibility.

Psychological communication usually means back and forth. During this process, even if the doctor intends to control it, it is difficult to completely hide his thoughts and mentality.

I heard that some people are very sensitive in this aspect, and Jiang Xia is not an ordinary patient with depression. On the contrary, he is related to the organization and has really come into contact with many murderers.

Amuro Toru slowly realized the seriousness of the problem.

The cardiology department of Mihua Yakushino Hospital is very famous. As far as he knew, many police officers would also go there to register.

If the doctor really has a problem...

However, no matter what you think in your heart, you can't say it on your face.

"You're thinking too much." Toru Amuro put down the rolled up sleeves again.

He decided to check on the doctor first.

Anyway, Jiang Xia is in Tokyo and can't run away. If the doctor has no problem by then, he can go back to deal with the medical treatment.

Toru Amuro added: "However, since he makes you have such thoughts, it means that the doctor is not suitable for you. Please choose another hospital next time."

Jiang Xia nodded and said no more.

If you continue talking, the intention will be too obvious and it will easily make Toru Amuro alert.

In that case, in order to hide his identity, the undercover comrade would definitely not touch Dr. Fengdo, and Jiang Xia would not be able to enjoy the benefits.

…

Toru Amuro is still very busy today, and after chatting with Jiang Xia for a few words, another task has been added to the heavy work list.

He didn't stay any longer and left quickly.

Jiang Xia was about to lock the door, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of the magazine rack in the entrance hall and was immediately stunned.

On the shelf, there is a familiar book.

Jiang Xia walked over, took out the book and looked at it, and found that it was a detective manual borrowed from the library.

This was what he brought with him when he applied for the job.

Later, he really became an apprentice, and Jiang Xia forgot to take the book away again.

The borrowing period of Mihua Library is relatively short, and ordinary citizens can only borrow books for 14 days.

Jiang Xia looked at the date and found that it had not yet expired. Next time I want to randomly go to these 14 days, I don’t know how long I have to wait, so why not take advantage of it and pay it back quickly...

Thinking like this, Jiang Xia looked at her watch and found that it wasn't time to get off work yet.

So I got on my motorcycle and headed straight to the library.

…

Of course Toru Amuro didn't come forward himself.

As usual, he sent information about Futo Kyosuke to his subordinates and asked them to investigate.

Of course, he emphasized the need for stealth. Even if the problem is really found, Fuudo Kyosuke himself must be "accidentally" exposed, and he must not let others know that this is a purposeful investigation.

Otherwise, if Jiang Xia in the front says there is something wrong with that person, the person in the back will be arrested...Jiang Xia is not stupid.

…

Jiang Xia drove all the way and when she arrived at the library, she looked at her watch and found that there was still more than half an hour before she got off work.

He took off his helmet and hung it on the handlebars, then walked towards the library door with his books.

However, upon closer inspection, the door was locked. It's already off work.

Jiang Xia was startled, then walked to the notice board next to the door and looked at it. She found that today was a holiday and the library got off work two hours early...

Jiang Xia held the book in her hand and looked at the darkness inside the door, feeling a little disappointed.

He was about to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, Xiaobai suddenly became energetic.

The distance was a bit far, and Jiang Xia didn't sense much.

However, Xiaobai was obviously looking inside the library.

So the ghost, or murderous aura it sensed, should also be inside.

This library does not have security windows installed.

Jiang Xia walked half a circle around the outside of the library, walked to a remote corner of the building, and found a locked window.

He stopped at the window and raised his hand.

Several pieces of shikigami flew out lightly, slipped through the cracks in the window, and landed on the floor of the library, gradually condensing into puppets like clay figures.

Jiang Xia hesitated between "throw the ghost baby in, let it generate a suitable puppet, and drive the puppet to check the situation" and "go in by myself".

But soon, Jiang Xia thought that the size of the puppets generated by the ghost fetus had a lot to do with the ghost fetus itself.

In other words, if Xiaobai is thrown into a clay puppet, a child with greater strength will be generated at most.

If there is a real emergency in the library, this will delay a lot of things.

Jiang Xia finally chose the latter and went in by himself.

He manipulated the clay man-like puppet to open the locked window.

Afterwards, Jiang Xia climbed into the library through the window.

The moment he landed, the puppet collapsed into a paper shikigami again and disappeared into the mark on his heart.
