Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 108

   Jiang Xia stayed up late at night, made a few simple control groups, and reluctantly came to some conclusions.

  ——Xiaobai and Wutiangou ate the "tribute", except that their expressions became very haggard, there was no other change. And the things burned with ordinary food and ghost mint have no effect on the three ghosts.

   In other words, at present, this method of replacing murderousness with meals is only suitable for feeding Miyano Akemi. And it seems that it must be the food that Haibara Ai cooks by herself.

   In addition, because the appearance and smell of the tribute are indescribable, Miyano Akimi ate a few mouthfuls with the power of love, and she was paralyzed into a pale ghost, and she couldn't continue to swallow it. So Jiang Xia improved the method of cooking ghost food by the way.

   He tried to stir the unkillable ghost mint into the dish, but it didn't work.

   After cooking, it still doesn't work.

   In the end, Jiang Xia tried countless methods with the leftovers, and finally found that he could make the ghost mint into a tea bag-like seasoning bag, and then cook it under high pressure with the food.

   Only a tiny bit of leftovers were left when I discovered this method.

   Miyano Akimi ate that pile of food that finally resembled normal food, and was moved to tears for the rest of her life.

   Jiang Xia kindly touched her head, and by the way, secretly pressed the falling teardrops back on her body to save energy. Then he left Akimi Miyano to continue eating, while he washed the lunch box and sent it back to the doctor's house.

After Dr.    was full, he fell asleep on the sofa. It was Ai Haibara who came to open the door.

  Haihara Ai actually hasn't figured out how to get along with Jiang Xia, mainly because Jiang Xia's actual situation is very different from what she thought before, and she hasn't gotten used to it yet.

  So when I was eating just now, Haiyuan Ai thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up thinking and decided to keep it simple - just as Jiang Xia said, pretending to be a stranger he met for the first time. Jiang Xia is expected to do the same.

  So now, after taking the lunch box, Hui Yuanai avoided Jiang Xia's sight, overcome her previous habit with difficulty, and swallowed the words she wanted to tell Jiang Xia.

   After that, she wanted to go back to the house, but before she turned around, she suddenly found Jiang Xia standing at the door and not leaving, looking like she had something to say.

  Haihara Ai hugged the lunch box and looked up at him suspiciously.

   "That..." Jiang Xia also felt that he had just set the rules of "pretend you don't know each other and draw a clear line", but he turned around and came to eat other people's meals, which was a shame.

But he remembered the ghost at home who was waiting to be fed, so he could only clear his throat and pretend that nothing happened just now: "When you cook in the future, can you make an extra serving like today? As a reward, if you have something you want, I'll try my best to get it for you."

  ... Take advantage of the fact that Haibara Ai is relatively poor, hurry up to get her long-term meal ticket.

   Jiang Xia remembers that Hui Yuanai likes brand bags very much. Now she has just escaped from the organization. She is poor and white, and she doesn't have a bag. She definitely won't mind exchanging rice for a bag. Anyway, cooking is done with half a pot and a pot, in fact, it doesn't make any difference. Haibara Ai had no reason to refuse this deal.

   Jiang Xia always felt that the little girl's eyes would light up in the next second, put down the lunch box, raised her hand and tried to show him the appearance of a bag.

   But not.

  ——Haihara Ai not only didn't order, but had tears in her eyes, and she almost took out a small handkerchief and dipped it in the corner of her eyes.

   Jiang Xia: "?"

   Haibara Ai's mood at this time is very complicated.

   Although the Jiang Xia she imagined was very different from the actual Jiang Xia, there was one thing in common—Jiang Xia didn’t seem to want to touch her.

   But Jiang Xia like this actually made this request to her to meet three times a day... Tsk, no one must have cooked for him before, he has been making do with it, so he couldn't resist this attraction.

Jiang Xia leaned against the door frame, always feeling that Hui Yuanai's reaction was different from what he expected... Could it be that he wanted a bag for a long time, but he was embarrassed to tell the doctor that there was a sudden opportunity at this time, so he couldn't help it. move?

   Haibara Ai was sad for a while alone, and gradually recovered.

   She shook her head: "No. Originally, I prefer to cook larger meals. And..."

   Haibara Ai turned her head and glanced at Dr. Aga on the sofa from a distance.

   After finding that he was still asleep, she turned around and looked at Jiang Xia, and said softly, "And you saved me. So if you have to calculate the reward, you have already paid in advance, so you don't need to give me anything else."

  "!" Jiang Xia's heart skipped a beat. He remembered not long ago, when he brought Xue Li back to the Doctor's house with his little white puppet, he suddenly felt guilty.

  Although I don’t know why Haibara Ai said this, but what shouldn’t be exposed must not be exposed, Jiang Xia made a puzzled look: “Have you saved you?”

   "Yeah." Haibara Ai lowered her head, "Although you didn't actually do anything. But objectively speaking, not reporting my existence to the organization is already saving me. So..."

She is not used to talking with others like this, but she feels that some things are better to make clear: "So if you need my help in the future, just tell me directly, and you don't have to think about what to exchange with me every time— -My life is very valuable, and you have already paid the full amount on this."

When    said these words, Haibara Ai kept her head down.

To be honest, just now, when Jiang Xia said, "What do you want?", a large number of new bags that she had been paying attention to for a long time involuntarily appeared in her mind. The line up in front of you is very tempting.

  ... As long as Jiang Xia was a little richer, she might have just slaughtered.

   But think rationally... A minor who is still in school and can only earn money by part-time work, even if he has some savings, he should use that money to make plans for his own future.

   If Jiang Xia's precious and limited money is made into her bag for a little personal hobby... Huiyuan Ai really can't do this.

   However, thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xia has already started to become famous... Although the murder cases he has encountered so far are all accidentally bumped into when he goes out, and he can't receive the commission fee. But soon someone will invite him to investigate the case with huge sums of money, and then...

Snapped--

   Haibara Ai patted his face expressionlessly. Take away the bags that flashed in your mind.

……calm down.

   If you say no, you can't.

  Fortunately, she had just finished speaking in a rush, completely cutting off the way for Jiang Xia to buy her a bag, otherwise she was really afraid that she would not be able to withstand the temptation.

   Jiang Xia looked at this strange child who was crying for a while, thinking for a while, and beat himself up for a while.

  ...Although he didn't know what happened, he still understood the key information about the success of the meal.

   Jiang Xia patted Haiyuan Ai's head, and used this action to grab Miyano Akemi, who was lying on top of her sister's head and rubbing her sister's head, and left.
