Conan's Corpse Picker

Chapter 317 Fortunately, I Met My Mom

Soon someone called the police.

Not long after, the police arrived at Senyuan's home.

Jiang Xia glanced around and saw a few familiar policemen—I met them when dealing with the case of Shibata's family just now.

Judging from the time, the case over there probably hasn't been fully concluded yet, probably a few people were forced out of their busy schedule to help here.

Jiang Xia pretended not to see the complicated sights of the policemen.He stood in the corner with a low sense of presence, drinking the thirst-quenching tea that the servant poured for him, while watching other people busy in the room.

Although Senyuan Juren knelt down and cried like other prisoners, he confessed his motives.But he himself was also a little confused, not knowing why Butler Shigesong wanted to play tricks on him with the marriage contract.

So now, Conan and Hattori Heiji are busy collecting information, trying to unravel the truth behind the case.Although there is no way to solve the case, it can be regarded as experiencing the fun of solving the mystery anyway.

Jiang Xia stood aside like a supervisor without further involvement.

He feels that in terms of popularity alone, his current reputation is actually enough-although there is still a long way to go before everyone knows it, but now, as long as someone has the idea of ​​"finding a detective", it is easy You can find out Jiang Xia, and then send him an invitation to pick up... to solve the case.

Therefore, passive sabotage is more in line with his current needs, which can prevent some prisoners who are too cautious from inviting him.

The only problem is that I feel sorry for the model worker in the factory.

Jiang Xia remembered that Qin Jiu wanted him to increase his reputation and enter the upper class sooner.

... Well, let's set a small goal first: realize Gin's wish within two years.

As a minor, it is actually very reasonable to spend two years accumulating enough prestige to achieve this kind of requirement to sneak into the upper class, and it can even be called a talent.

One year is not enough, one year is too fast, and the purpose is too strong, even if you really touch it, it is easy to be targeted by the cunning FBI or police.

After setting the goal and finding a suitable excuse by the way, Jiang Xia's conscience was alive and kicking again, and he continued to lean against the corner, drinking tea in comfort.

Hattori Heiji and Conan were a little confused about Jiang Xia's spectator status, but they quickly thought, now that the murderer has been caught, the murder weapon was found on the tree outside, and the modus operandi... they can almost guess it.

In short, what is missing at present is only the cause and effect of the case.Maybe Jiang Xia is not interested in such short-sighted things, or doesn't want to peep into the cruel truth.

...In any case, this gave Hattori Heiji and Conan a rare experience of reasoning beside Jiang Xia.

It may be that this kind of happiness has increased the speed of reasoning. The two quickly found some clues and planned to use them to set up a set of Senyuan Chrysanthemum's words to see if they could ask for some other information.

A bunch of reporters who came to hear the news were blocked outside the door, it was very chaotic, and the police haven't taken Senyuan Juren away yet.

Hattori Heiji and Conan walked to the side of Morien Kikuto who was autistic.

When he spoke, Hattori Heiji's mood and expression were a bit complicated: "I probably guessed the reason why Butler Shigematsu wanted you to dissolve the marriage - he realized that Miss Katagiri didn't actually like you, but came to see Mr. Sakuraba, Tomorrow's wedding was a misunderstanding, so he wants to stop the wedding and don't want the next generation to repeat the same mistakes."

Jiang Xia saw that his classmates began to explain the truth to Senyuan Chrysanthemum, so he approached silently with a teacup, wanting to see if there was any murderous intent attached later.

However, perhaps Senyuan Chrysanthemum calmly realized that it was difficult for him to kill anyone now, so there was nothing that could be squeezed out of him.

Senyuan Juren listened with his head down, and sneered: "According to what you said, why didn't he go directly to my dad to cancel the wedding like he did when he was a matchmaker, but instead threatened me? You are not in his belly Ascaris, how do you know that is his real thought—maybe he is just trying to test how far I can be threatened, and the marriage is just incidental! Even if I cancel the engagement, I will continue to be threatened."

"..." Hattori Heiji and Conan had the misfortune of encountering a bully, and they couldn't sort out the chicken-and-egg question for a while.But they have to admit that the behavior of the butler is indeed a bit confusing.

Jiang Xia was listening beside him, feeling a little curious, he looked at Senyuan Juren:

"What have you done in the company? I'd rather kill someone or be blackmailed for the rest of my life than let Senyuan's housekeeper go to your father to sue... As the eldest son, as long as what you do is not too outrageous, Master Senyuan will not cancel your contract." Inheritance."

Senyuan Juren's complexion suddenly changed, he glanced at Jiang Xia viciously, bowed his head and stopped talking.

Jiang Xia even saw some murderous aura emerge from him for a moment.

However, it is a pity that since Senyuan Chrysanthemum subconsciously knew that he could not kill people in this state, those murderous auras were withdrawn as soon as they emerged.

Unfortunately, the mermaid who swam the fastest missed the air again.

She stared at Senyuan Chrysanthemum angrily, then swung her tail and slapped the bluffer, and then floated back to Jiang Xia angrily.

Jiang Xia felt that Senyuan Juren's reaction was a little strange.

But a person who is about to go to prison doesn't have many opportunities to directly create ghosts and murderous intent, Jiang Xia temporarily lacks the desire to go deeper.

Disclose it to Toru Amuro later, let him check it out.Or find an opportunity to ask Gin Jiu, and get some murderous energy from him by the way... After all, according to Jiang Xia's experience, as long as the affairs of this world have nothing to do with the organization, they are basically not considered major issues.

Even if something really happened, what does all this have to do with him as an innocent psychic who wanders on the fringes of society... Wait, speaking of this, let's not ask Gin for now, Gin seems to have said about killing big shots before Say hello first.

But strictly speaking, Senyuan Chrysanthemum was not killed.Strictly speaking, the involvement of Senyuan Juren in the murder case was not instigated by Jiang Xia, he just happened to pass by.

The problem is not big.

……

On the eve of the wedding, the groom was arrested for murder. Naturally, this high-profile wedding could not continue.

The next day, Hattori Shizuka's plan to attend the wedding was also cancelled, and she planned to return to Osaka in the afternoon.

Yuan Shan, Ye and Mao Lilan went shopping together yesterday, and somehow they really got to know each other, and they upgraded from one-sided plastic sisters to two real flowers.

The two of them didn't seem to have enough shopping, they met at the hotel where Yuan Shan and Ye were staying in the morning, and went shopping again.

Hattori Heiji stayed in the hotel under the pretext of making notes.In fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to lure Conan to the boat and go to Ogasawara to do the anonymous commission.

After packing his luggage, he poked his head out of the hotel door furtively, with one hand on his luggage and the other on Conan.At this time, he happened to see the opposite door open, and a familiar person came out.

Chapter 318 I'll Leave It to You Heiji

Hattori Heiji was startled at first, and then he was relieved when he realized that the "familiar person" was not Mori Ran or Toyama Kazuha, but his mother.

... If it was those two female high school students, he was really afraid of being hit by a set of fatal combos like "Where are you going?"

Hattori Shizuka looked at his son looking like a thief, raised his folding fan and knocked on his back helplessly: "Stand up straight."

As Hattori Heiji straightened, she looked at the luggage that Hattori Heiji was carrying in her hand, and the child in the other hand. After a moment of silence, she asked slightly suspiciously: "Are you...?"

"I'm going to do the entrustment. It's the one from Ogasawara that I mentioned before." Hattori Heiji knew that his mother just looked cold, but actually loved him very much, so he looked at his watch and said with confidence, "I'll go first , don’t tell He Ye or Maori about this, wait until after noon.”

Although Hattori Shizuka didn't understand why his son was avoiding the two girls, he still nodded.

The structure of their family, in a sense, can be regarded as a strict father and loving mother. Hattori Shizuka seldom interferes with Hattori Heiji's decisions.

Hattori Heiji obviously knew this too, he immediately took his bag and Conan and left with confidence.

As long as my mother didn't tell the truth, when Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye found out that something was wrong, the boat should have already left, and those three people would not be able to get on board.

That's right, three, because according to Hattori Heiji's intuition, once Mao Lilan or Toyama and Ye know his next plan, the two ghosts will definitely turn around and tell Jiang Xia.

As for Kudo... Although he is also an insider, the ghost is more passive.Hattori Heiji thought about it for a while, analyzed rationally, and felt that if Conan hadn't been caught on the phone, he probably wouldn't have betrayed himself in front of Jiang Xia.

Conan was carried by Hattori Heiji and ran all the way. When he was almost at the end of the corridor, he looked back at the direction of the hotel room: "Is there really no problem with your mother?"

"Of course, she is very trustworthy, but since she promised me not to tell, she won't tell Kazuha and the others." Hattori Heiji felt ok.

Conan nodded, but for some reason, he always had a bad premonition in his heart.

In addition, to be honest, although he wanted to solve the mystery and solve the case, he also wanted to go on a boat trip with Mao Lilan... After all, it's okay to bring Jiang Xia along.This is just a commission, not a murder case...

Conan sighed as he thought about it.

If there is a next time, I must secretly call Mao Lilan.

……

After Hattori Heiji took Conan away, Hattori Shizuka looked back at his son's back, feeling a little worried.

It wasn't that she doubted Hattori Heiji's ability to survive, but she found that, looking at this posture, her son planned to take the little boy with him to handle the case.

...My son doesn't know how to take care of others at all. If he loses sight of other people's children, it would be too sinful.

After hesitating for a moment, Hattori Shizuka unzipped her bag and began to rummage inside.

Last night, after the affairs of Shibata's family were over, Hattori Shizuka told Jiang Xia and the others about her true identity and the true purpose of entrusting her.

Later, although Jiang Xia had something to leave, the boss of Jiang Xia Detective Agency stayed with her and said a few words with her, and patiently answered some of her questions.

Because of this, Hattori Jinghua learned that Jiang Xia actually had a side that was good at taking care of children. I heard that he once took two first-grade children out alone, and took them to the destination smoothly, taking good care of them.

But now, Hattori Jinghua thought, since his son doesn't want to go out with two female classmates, and he can't take care of a six-year-old child himself, he might as well ask Jiang Xia if he is interested in that commission.

If Jiang Xia also finds it interesting, just let them board the boat together, which can not only exchange experience in solving crimes, but also prevent accidents.

Soon, Hattori Shizuka rummaged through the bag and found what he was looking for.

a business card.

On the way from the office to Shibata's house yesterday, Jiang Xia took the initiative to hand it to her. It contained the address of the office, the landline number of the office, and Jiang Xia's own mobile phone number.

Hattori Shizuka looked at this business card with a simple design, and nodded secretly: a very hardworking, rigorous, and dedicated young man.

These days, there are not many high school detectives who are willing to carry business cards with them. They all seem to think that it is too commercial and not compelling enough.Jiang Xia is very different.

The more Hattori Shizuka thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good boy, and he also felt that he understood the reason why Hattori Heiji avoided Jiang Xia—maybe it was Jiang Xia's formal style of doing things that put pressure on Heiji, an unruly detective.

In short, after this visit to Tokyo, Hattori Shizuka decided to support her husband between her son and her husband in matters related to Jiang Xia.

- Hattori Heizo is right, Jiang Xia does have a lot to learn from.

……

After a few minutes.

At the port thousands of meters away, Jiang Xia's cell phone vibrated.

He pulled up the scarf a little, pressed down on the brim of his hat, took out his phone and looked down.

The number displayed on the screen was very unfamiliar, and it was probably the first time the other party had sent him a text message.

However, the person who wrote the letter kindly stated his identity at the beginning - Shizuka Hattori who met yesterday.

After the simple greetings, there is a series of detailed information:

[A while ago, Heiji received an anonymous letter, the person who wrote the letter invited him to investigate the case in Ogasawara.

The letter did not write down the details of the entrustment, but contained ten old ten-thousand-yen banknotes. The person who wrote the letter said that as long as Heiji arrived at Tsumusu Port at noon and showed the banknotes to the crew, the crew would let him board and go to Ogasawara. boat.

Although I'm not worried about Heiji, it seems that he brought a young child with him when he went to the commission this time... I wonder if you are interested in this mysterious commission.If I'm free, I'd like to find you an entrustment to protect that child.Once Heiji is obsessed with solving crimes, he will not pay attention to the surrounding environment. I am very worried that the child will get lost

...]

Jiang Xia glanced at it and guessed the general situation.

He quickly replied, expressing his willingness to accept the commission, and by the way praised Hattori Shizuka's son.And hinted that if this kind of thing happens again in the future, please don't worry too much, just look for him.

After sending the text message and putting away the mobile phone, Jiang Xia took out the old version of the [-]-yen banknote that he had found before, and walked towards a long queue of boats.
