Corpse collector in Conan

Now, there are a group of children watching under the tree, making it inconvenient to communicate with the cat. And I don’t know if this cat can communicate. After all, it is just a cat...

Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment and asked Wutian Dog to hold on to this rare cat ghost to prevent it from acting cute on the surface and secretly planning to escape. I'm going to wait until I get some free time later, and then follow my usual practice of coaxing and coaxing me to sign it.

It is indeed inconvenient for him to raise a cat, but he is very convenient for raising a ghost.

Although this is the first time I have seen an animal ghost fetus, any ghost that comes into sight, let alone a cat, even a cockroach, must be caught and raised.

The only problem is that the cat ghost is already so small, even if the cockroach really turns into a ghost, I'm afraid he won't be able to see it at all. But by then, he must have signed the cat, and maybe he can let the cat...

The cat suddenly shuddered intuitively.

It froze slightly as it rubbed against Jiang Xia. It raised its paws to put Jiang Xia's fingers suspiciously, and stuck its head out from the side of the fingers to look at him and observe the expression of the psychic.

However, I couldn't see any problems.

The cat was a little confused and stayed confused for a while, then decided to get the meal ticket first and continue to meow cutely.

Jiang Xia had already looked away from it and looked at the cat's body in the tree.

…

Maybe he stayed in the tree for too long. Down below, the children had begun to wonder, but three of them didn't dare to ask, and one was afraid of disturbing Jiang Xia's thinking.

In the end, Conan couldn't hold it back and shouted to the tree: "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"... and decided that if Jiang Xia still didn't say anything, he would climb up and have a look.

Jiang Xia lowered his head and looked at the cat corpse. The body was rigor mortis and had been dead for some time. There was blood from its mouth and nose, and its internal organs were ruptured. The cat's paws were still stained with a little pink and yellow clothing fiber. It looked like he was beaten by someone and climbed up a tree to hide with all his strength. However, he couldn't survive in the end. Unfortunately, the dog took him... ah no, Meow took him.

...What a miserable cat.

Jiang Xia didn't waste any more time, picked up the dead cat and returned to the tree.

Hui Yuan Ai raised his head and saw the branch move, followed by Jiang Xia jumping down with something.

She was startled, some suspicions flashed through her mind, and her whole body suddenly became tense. The moment Jiang Xia landed, Haihara Ai raised his hand and covered Yoshida Ayumi's eyes.

A series of "reasonings" quickly flashed through Hui Yuan Ai's mind - it seemed that Jiang Xia had really discovered something on the tree. Thinking about what the children said just now, "There are corpses nearby," and then thinking about the fact that there is no way a person can be hidden in the tree... Combining various factors, Haihara Ai felt that he had glimpsed the truth.

——Broken corpses. There must be body parts hidden in the trees.

...The method of cutting a person's body into pieces and hanging them on a tree is really cruel. This is no longer just a crime, it is simply a psychopath. According to experience, it is difficult for this kind of perverted murderer to stop after just one case. It seems that they are involved in a major case.

Hui Yuan Ai's expression became solemn, and his small face was full of seriousness. His eyes followed Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia squatted down, as if to put the "broken corpse" on the ground.

As the height lowered, Hui Yuarai's slightly evasive eyes became firm again and fell on his hand. At the same time, he couldn't help but frown slightly, getting ready to see a terrifying sight.

However, upon closer inspection, Jiang Xia's hand was not filled with bloody bones or pieces of meat, but a ball of furry stuff.

"...?"

What was expected conflicted with reality. Hui Yuan Ai was momentarily confused.

……cat?

Seems to be dead...

She blinked slowly. After a moment, Nana let go of her hand.

Although a dead cat is a bit cruel to a child. But after all, Ayumi has seen a lot of corpses, so she is different from ordinary children...

Speaking of which, this cat...

Hui Yuan Ai walked to Jiang Xia's side, squatted down, and looked at the cat on the ground.

The cat's hair was blown by the passing wind, revealing a piece of the nameplate hanging around its neck. The owner's name and contact information are engraved on it.

Hui Yuan Ai stretched out her hand, gently straightened the nameplate, and read the words on it clearly: "Zengwei..."

This surname is not very common.

She recalled for a moment and quickly remembered the previous case at the bank. They had seen this cat before... No wonder Jiang Xia paused on the tree for so long just now, so she might have recognized it.

Haiyuan sighed, with a trace of anger hidden in his calm voice: "It's too cruel."

When the young detective team saw the blood on the cat's face, they were also very angry: "Who did it? We have to find him!"

The cat nestled in the foggy dog's arms, followed by "meow!" and flicked its tail, seeming to agree with satisfaction.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He gave the cat a slightly speechless look.

The communication between ghosts is actually more like telepathy. They usually can only make monosyllabic sounds.

And this cat ghost is very convenient. It meowed while alive and can continue to meow after death...

Just as he was thinking about it, a thin voice suddenly floated next to him.

——After the three children became angry, they seemed to have thought of something and whispered together:

"Could it be that person?"

"I think so too! That way he looks like a bad guy."

"But the teacher said you shouldn't judge people by their appearance..."

A fourth voice suddenly intervened: "Who is 'that person'?"

Three children: "!!!"

Jiang Xia didn't know when she got involved in their conversation.

Next to him, Conan and Haihara Ai also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"..." The three children instinctively shrank away from Jiang Xia. But then I thought about it, although Conan and Xiaoai were not sure that "Jiang Xia doesn't beat children", they both said "Jiang Xia doesn't beat good children"... Now, the three of them should be very good.

After a moment of silence, Yoshida Ayumi spoke in a low voice and acted as an information provider:

"It was a very tightly covered man. We saw it when we were catching fish. We couldn't see clearly through the grass. We just remembered that the man was wearing a hood, a big mask and scary sunglasses. We were a little scared. , after accidentally looking at him, I quickly turned my head. When I looked back again, that person was already gone..."

"It's really suspicious to have so many things covering your face." Conan carefully stretched out his hand and probed the cat, "But it shouldn't be that person, and even if it was, it wasn't during the time when you saw him— —The cat has been dead for quite some time.”

Hood, sunglasses, and a mask...

These keywords reminded Jiang Xia of the car he encountered on the road following his murderous aura not long ago.

The driver in the car happens to be dressed in the same style.

Judging from the time and driving direction at that time, the two should be the same person.
