Conan's Corpse Picker

……what happened?

Hui Yuanai couldn't care less about closing the safe, and trotted over to support her: "Are you alright?"

"It's okay." Unknown looked down at her, took the medicine box in her hand and put it away, and then patted her on the head, "The hair quality is good. Don't stay up late."

After that, she politely opened the door and left.

"...?"

Hui Yuanai raised his hand in a daze, touched his fluffy hair that had just been washed, and touched the spot that was photographed by Anonymous just now with special care... It was still hairy to the touch, and there was no sign of premature baldness.

...So, why did Miss Anonymous suddenly say that?

Could it be that her hair doesn't look as thick as when she saw Miss Anonymous last time?

Thinking of this, Hui Yuanai couldn't help but see the figure of Dr. Ali in his mind, especially his bald head.

Think about yourself again.

The two pictures gradually overlap...

The underage scientist shivered suddenly.

After a while, Hui Yuanai came back to his senses from that terrible future.She trotted out of the basement, but at this time, the corridor was empty—Anonymous left as silently as before.

...It must be very busy. It is so late, and I ran to find her, maybe the leader asked me to work overtime again... The hateful boss of the anonymous organization.

Also, for some reason, Miss Anonymous today seems to be very similar to her sister...

A trace of unstoppable nostalgia flashed in Hui Yuanai's eyes.

She turned her head and glanced at the landline in the basement, hesitated for a moment, walked back to the laboratory, and gently closed the door.

……

Jiang Xia drove the puppet, skillfully climbed over the window and over the wall, took the temporary antidote away, and returned to her home.

That's right, now it's him who drives the puppet again.

——Although Koizumi Hongzi has eaten a lot of energy cores, his ghosts have also increased a lot. On average, the improvement is limited.

Now it seems that the puppets can only maintain a few minutes of independent action time, and this is still without any violent movements... If you really want to use the puppets to do something, the time the ghost fetuses can last will only be shorter.

When he got home and scattered the puppets, Jiang Xia picked up Miyano Akemi, who was exhausted and collapsed into a ghost cake, and shook the circle, and temporarily put it back in the tattoo space to let her rest.

Although the duration was shorter, compared with the previous situation where the puppet could barely move its arms, it has now made a leap forward.

And now, Jiang Xia has also found a new way to collect energy cores.

... I don't know how long it will take Koizumi Hongzi to recover.I have to visit her in a few days.

In addition, since there is magic in this world, Hongzi Koizumi should not be the only magician, and I don't know where the rest of the magicians are.

Also, how did Kidd find out where he and Hongzi Koizumi were?That scene should have been separated by Koizumi Koko's magic.

...When Kidd next time haunts, I have to ask him if he has any magic cheats at home.

If so, then urge Kidd to study hard and become a qualified magical boy...

The night is already very deep.

Jiang Xia played with the puppets for a while, and after initially figuring out their evolutionary state, lay down to rest.

……

The next day, Jiang Xia drove the puppet to the high school where Kidd was, and made a brief inquiry.

Then I found that although Kidd went to school, Koizumi Hongzi's place was vacant-she asked for leave.

... I don't know if I'm hiding from people, or if my magic power hasn't recovered, my body is too weak, or I feel ashamed, and I don't want to see people for the time being.

Unable to meet the witch whom he had been thinking about day and night, Jiang Xia had no choice but to temporarily return to a peaceful detective life.

Two days later.

Jiang Xia flipped through the register while waiting for the client to pick up the cat at the office.

Then I realized later that I was let go by a client yesterday.

——This guest named Kayo Shibata originally made an appointment to pick up Siam from her home yesterday afternoon, but until now, the lively black-faced cat is still stranded in the office.

Chapter 443 Jiang Xia Should Be a Good Bodyguard

Jiang Xia's eyes paused on the register, and she wanted to call to ask when this Miss Shibata was free, so that she could set a new time to pick up the cat.

But before he could touch the receiver, the phone rang, and someone happened to dial the number first.

Jiang Xia's hand on the receiver paused slightly, looked at the string of numbers on the caller ID, compared it with the one in memory, and recognized that it was the "Shibata Kayo" who had pigeonholed him.

He picks up the phone.

A slightly tense female voice came from the opposite side, and there seemed to be a little excitement in the tension.

Shibata Kayo spoke quickly: "I'm sorry, I had something to do yesterday, so I couldn't go there on time. That... are you free this afternoon? I would like to trouble you to help deliver the cat to my house. In addition, there are some things I want to show you... ..."

"...?" Have something to show him?

Jiang Xia savored the tense voice on the other side, and intuitively felt that something might have happened.

And if something happens, it means that there may be murderous intent and shikigami...

Jiang Xia quickly reviewed the arrangements for the afternoon.

Then it turned out that there was no arrangement.

So I responded decisively: "I am free throughout the afternoon and evening, when is it convenient for you?"

"Great, I'm relieved that you can come." Shibata Kayo obviously breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, see you at [-]:[-], and I'll send the address to your email right away."

"it is good."

After the other party hung up the phone, Jiang Xia put down the receiver and carefully searched for the person "Shibata Kayo" in the spoiler library in his mind.

However, no case could be found about her.

However, detectives are considered a service industry after all. When guests come here to register, no one will ask the guests to show their IDs. The name, address, age, etc. when filling out the form are all based on self-consciousness.

And according to Jiang Xia's unintentional observation, he found that some wives did leave fake names when filling out the registration form.

——Most people here will take their husband's surname after marriage, so when some wives come to him, they like to use their old surname before marriage, maybe this will make them feel young again.There are also some who simply changed their names, perhaps because they wanted to create a game-like atmosphere for themselves.

...In short, although the search failed, he was fine in the afternoon anyway.

Take a look over in time to see exactly what's going on.

……

After Masuo Kayo hung up the phone call to Jiang Xia, he breathed a sigh of relief.

She is in her late twenties and has no children at home. She usually lives with her husband in his 50s.

And now, her husband Masuo Katsura had left early in the morning, and Masuo Kayo was able to be alone quietly.

She put away her phone and sat back in her chair.

Then he opened the photo album on the desk and looked at one of the photos.

——This is a group photo.Apart from her husband Zengwei Katsura, there were a dozen or so other people on it, some familiar and some unfamiliar.

Masuo Kayo frowned and looked at it for a while, reached out to pick up the pen next to him, and with a light flick of his fingertips, he circled a few of them.

Her husband is the store manager of the Kubato branch of Toto Bank.

Three days ago, when Masuo Kayo went to the bank, he happened to encounter a robbery.The robbers took her as a hostage at that time. When she resisted angrily, she accidentally pulled the robber's hood to one side and saw a little bit of the robber's face.

At that time, Masuo Kayo felt that the robbers looked familiar.

After she came back, she gradually got the impression that these seemed to be some friends of her husband.

Combined with the various anomalies of her husband before, Masuo Kayo realized excitedly that this was likely to be a robbery planned by her husband himself-the store manager was guarding himself and stealing, no wonder the robbers took away 2 million yen so smoothly.

After discovering this situation, Masuo Kayo was actually a little tangled at first.

After all, once the robbery is revealed, the newly obtained stolen money will also be confiscated, and she can't use it to squander it.

But now, Masuo Kayo has spent a long time as a rich man, and he is not so eager for money at present.

And she thinks that she is not yet thirty, facing an ugly old husband in his 50s every day, life is really boring.What's more, as far as Masuo Kayo knew, the family actually had a lot of savings, and after her husband went to jail, she could get a lot of it when she divorced.

In the end, after much consideration, Masuo Kayo decided to kill her relatives righteously and send her husband in.

After making the decision, Masuo Kayo remained calm and maintained his previous life.

Behind the scenes, he has secretly made an appointment with the police to go to the police station to explain the situation this afternoon with the photo album of suspicious people in the circle.

In addition, she was worried that her husband, the chief planner of the robbers, would be suspicious of her and find someone nearby to watch her. If so, she might not be safe on the way to the police station to report.

So Masuo Kadai thought hard for a while, and couldn't help but think of the young detective who called not long ago and told her to pick up the cat.

——Jiang Xia, a ready-made bodyguard.

Masuo Kayo is a housewife who doesn't work very much, and her usual contacts are all linked to her husband.She was really worried that if she went to find a bodyguard by herself, the "bodyguard" she found in the end would become a murderer instead.

...so it's better to go to the righteous high school student detective.

At least Jiang Xia has a correct stance and won't collude with her husband.

As for force...Jiang Xia doesn't look like the kind of muscular man who can fight well, but he is a young man after all, if something happens to him, he will definitely be more reliable than her alone.

Moreover, in fact, Jiang Xia only needs to accompany her to the car.Afterwards, they can drive to the police station. Her car has been modified and has a high level of security. They will definitely be able to reach the police station smoothly.

In addition, in addition to considering safety, Masuo Kayo actually has other small calculations in his heart.

——On the way to the police station with Jiang Xia, the two will jointly guard against possible dangerous robbers... That heart-pounding environment will definitely promote emotional exchanges.

After all, she and Jiang Xia are not much older... at least less than her and her husband.In the best case, after this trip, even divorce and engagement can be settled in one go.

Masuo Kayo thought about it, blushing a little, and paced back and forth in the room.

After turning around twice, she still couldn't calm down.

So he simply walked to the fitness equipment in the corner of the room, planning to step on the exercise bike for a while.

——In order to be healthy and maintain a good figure, Kayo Masuo usually pays attention to exercise, and he starts exercising at this time. Now he has formed a stable and healthy biological clock.
