Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 131 Don't follow me

  Ikemura Gongjiang began to look for a suitable detective after he had murderous intentions towards her husband.

Her plan was to put her husband down with sleeping pills and let him doze off in the back-locked study, and then she would bring a group of detectives into the house, and when the detectives had just entered the door, when the detectives were looking at the environment, she would wake up Chimura-hoon As a cover up, he secretly used poison needles to stab people to death.

   And before that, Ikemura Gongjiang left a series of fake clues in advance, so that the whole case looked like a murder in a secret room, pretending that her husband died before they entered the door.

  In this way, Gongjiang Chicun seems to have no time to commit crimes. She can not only frame things on her father-in-law, but also protect herself, the best of both worlds.

   But the premise for this trick to work is that the detective with her must have a certain reasoning ability, at least to deduce the "secret room murder" on the second floor.

   So Ikemura Gongjiang started to contact detectives privately under the pretext of investigating his daughter-in-law.

   During this period, she heard a friend recommend Jiang Xia, so she went to the detective office where Jiang Xia worked to check the situation.

   Originally, seeing that Jiang Xia was so young and had little qualifications as a detective, Gongjiang Ikemura was very optimistic about him.

   However, when his girlfriends were consulting, Gongjiang Ikemura sat next to him and flipped through Jiangxia's case clippings, and the more he read, the more shocked he became.

   Judging from the reports, Jiang Xia solved the case very quickly, and he was often able to get to the point as soon as he opened his mouth. This shows that his observational skills must not be weak, and he has the ability to look at the whole scene in just a few seconds and find and remember all the details.

  Chicun Gongjiang took a look at the criminals who had been planted for no apparent reason in the newspaper clippings, and his back was cold. She was really afraid that as soon as she stabbed the poisonous needle into her husband's neck with her front foot, Jiang Xia would lean over to her and ask "what are you doing"... Then it was all over.

   So, to be on the safe side, Ikemura Gongjiang changed a tool man-Mori Kogoro.

  This detective is also very good at investigation and should have certain reasoning ability, and I heard that when he encounters a murder case, he likes to hurriedly point out a very obvious murderer. So Ikemura Gongjiang decisively gave up Jiangxia and found Maori Kogoro.

  But now...why is Jiang Xia here?

  Ikemura Gongjiang regretted that he had promised so quickly.

   She tidied up her sunglasses. She wanted to find an excuse to refuse Jiang Xia and the others to follow, and only bring Maori Kogoro.

   But before she could speak, Jiang Xia suddenly walked up to her and asked politely, "Can I go together?"

   As soon as he approached, Gongjiang Chicun subconsciously changed his head to nod, not wanting to refuse his request.

   Jiang Xia got permission and withdrew with satisfaction.

  Chicun Gongjiang took a few beats before he regained his senses, and his face suddenly turned blue. But changing his words at this time is too blunt, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the detective. She even made up the doubts that others had put towards her after the incident - "If you have no problem, why insist that Jiang Xia not go with you."

  ...Forget it, take someone over to take a look first, and observe the situation before assassinating the big deal. If Jiang Xia notices her, she will stop the plan.

   Thinking so, Ikemura Gongjiang barely maintained his noble and glamorous attitude and walked towards the door.

   Jiangxia followed.

As soon as   Ikecun Gongjiang appeared, more than half of his organizational assessment task was almost completed.

   The four protagonists gathered together, and the effect was really outstanding. Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glanced at Hattori Heiji with admiration.

   Speaking of which, Hattori Heiji actually has some unique features: he often leads to serial murders, and one death is three or four. It's a pity that this person usually lives in Osaka, which is a bit far away.

   Hattori Heiji successfully got the task, and he also pulled Jiang Xia, and he was in a good mood. Although an ordinary commission is different from a murder case, the process of verification and analysis can more or less reveal a person's crime-solving habits.

   He showed a smile that was about to see through everything, turned to Jiang Xia, but found that Jiang Xia happened to be looking at him.

   Looking at each other for a moment, Jiang Xia suddenly said: "Have you considered transferring to Tokyo? There are many famous detectives here, and there are many cases. It is very convenient for you to compare with anyone."

   Hattori Heiji: "..." Ah?

   Jiangxia’s words have just been spoken, but after thinking about it, it feels inappropriate – some cases actually have specific locations, and even if Hattori Heiji is placed in Tokyo, they cannot be taken away…

   Thinking of this, Jiang Xia sighed: "It's nothing, I just said it casually."

   Then he got into Gongjiang's car in Ikecun a little lost.

   Hattori Heiji looked at his back: "...?"

  ...Is it his illusion? He always felt that Jiang Xia was not hostile at all to this challenger who appeared out of thin air, but was rather friendly?

  ...what kind of way is this.

   Hattori Heiji followed the car suspiciously.

  Conan stared at a pair of half-moon eyes and slipped into the car - Hattori Heiji kept shouting to find Kudo Shinichi, he always felt uneasy.

   And in Conan's view, Hattori Heiji is a person who is too blunt, straight to the point of being a bit beaten.

If he keeps asking Jiang Xia the questions that Jiang Xia doesn't want to answer, and exhausts Jiang Xia's patience, then someone will have to be responsible for pulling Jiang Xia away from the stick... After all, Hattori Heiji is not a criminal, and he may be held responsible if he breaks it. .

   As soon as Conan got in the car, Mao Lilan was also worried about keeping up. The car suddenly became a little crowded.

   Mori Kogoro looked at the back seat speechlessly: "There are too many of you, go down two."

  Ikecun Gongjiang said: "It's fine, it's less likely to cause suspicion." The more people there are, the better she will feel at ease.

   And she suddenly found out that Jiang Xia seems to be very interested in that Osaka person, so it's better...

  …

  Maurilan deliberately sat in the middle of Jiangxia and Hattori Heiji to separate the two.

   She just found out that although Hattori Heiji's target is Kudo Shinichi, he is not very friendly to Jiang Xia either.

   Originally thought that Hattori Heiji would continue to pick things up, and she was already prepared to throw people out as soon as Hattori Heiji stalked him...but she didn't.

   Hattori Heiji was very quiet, seemingly lost in thought.

   He was still thinking about the meaning of Jiang Xia's phrase "Come to Tokyo".

   If it was Toru Amuro who said the same thing to him, Hattori Heiji would definitely suspect that the other party was mocking the quality of teaching in Osaka, or that Osaka didn’t have many famous detectives, but now it’s Jiang Xia…

   Hattori Heiji's sincere eyes flashed across Jiang Xia's mind, and he couldn't make similar doubts. He even had the illusion that once he nodded just now, Jiang Xia would immediately take the moving company straight to his house and carry him to Tokyo overnight.

   So why did you suddenly invite him? Fancy his ability to solve cases? Hattori Heiji was puzzled.

  …

  Chicun Gongjiang quickly drove his car to his destination.

  The Chicun house occupies a large area and is very stylish. A group of people entered from the door, and along the way they met the housekeeper of the Chicun family, the son and daughter-in-law of Gongjiang Chicun, and the father-in-law of Gongjiang Chicun... and finally came to the door of the study on the second floor.
