Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 143 Difficult Choices (Character Star Value Plus 1)

   Jiang Xia arrived home earlier than his neighbors, slept earlier than his neighbors, and because the puppet was bumped, he sipped a ghost mint in order to replenish his lost energy. In short, the next day, Jiang Xia became the most energetic one.

   He brought the invitation letter for the trip to Sherlock Holmes that he had drawn. Originally, he wanted to go to the Maori Detective Agency to find Conan, but when he passed by the Doctor's house, Jiang Xia remembered what happened yesterday, turned in and took a look, and saw that Conan was indeed here.

   Compared with Jiang Xia, the three who came home in the early morning looked a little haggard, as if they could fall asleep at any time.

   Miyano Akemi stuck her head out from behind Jiang Xia, glanced at the living room, and skillfully floated on Haibara Ai's head, happily touching her sister's soft top of hair.

   Before Jiang Xia came, Conan and the others were still discussing what happened last night, but when Jiang Xia arrived, all three shut up.

  Haihara Ai, in order to help Jiang Xia hold the organization's vest, will not discuss the organization with Jiang Xia when other people are present.

   In addition, in today's situation, even if Conan and the Doctor were not around, she wouldn't take the initiative to bring up what happened last night - after all, she aimed at the organization's information yesterday. And Jiang Xia is still a member of the organization. In front of Jiang Xia, he is always a little guilty when he mentions "stealing organization information".

  Conan and Dr. A Li certainly wouldn't say that, in their opinion, Jiang Xia should receive some bright and cheerful messages rather than something as bad as the Black Organization.

   Therefore, although Conan wanted to drag Jiang Xia to the scene of Bai Cangyang's death yesterday, so that Jiang Xia could see what was wrong, but in the end, he held back.

  ——Bai Cangyang died too coincidentally, it is likely that he was silenced by the organization. If Jiang Xia really went to the scene and found clues, maybe he would become the next target of silence, or lead to another child of unknown origin in the doctor's family.

   Neighbors don't mention those things, and Jiang Xia certainly doesn't.

   However, the abnormality of these three people is too obvious, Jiang Xia had to ask "what happened?" and then considerately cooperate with them to change the topic - after this process, he can finally speak the truth.

   Jiang Xia took out the invitation letter for the Sherlock Holmes trip, and tried to abduct this fake child who was very attractive to the case to go with him.

  Conan saw his invitation, and his spirits lifted: "You also won the lottery?"

  Conan was happy for a second because he "can travel with friends", followed by a sudden slump.

  The ultimate reward "Research in Scarlet" first edition collection book, there is only one, that is to say, only one person can get the reward.

   Now Jiangxia is going too...

  Conan seems to have seen the tragic scene of Aishu waving his handkerchief at him, and then running towards Jiang Xia's arms.

   However, after a while, Conan gradually became more supportive - the test of Sherlock Holmes's journey is not to solve the case, but to answer the question. And most importantly, there is no "whoever turns in first wins" rule.

   And as long as there is no time limit, he may not lose to Jiang Xia.

   Also, even if he loses... Jiang Xia's house is so close to him, when he goes to Jiang Xia's house for a visit, he will be able to see his precious book. And as the saying goes, there are people outside the sky, and other contestants are also very strong opponents. Compared with letting "Scarlet Research" fall into the hands of others, of course, Jiang Xia is better to hold it...

   Jiang Xia looked at Conan's happy and sad face, and suspected that classmate Kudo had made himself stupid by staying up too long.

  Conan regained his senses under the strange gazes of the other three. With a slightly embarrassed voice, he looked at Jiang Xia and said, "Well, I didn't expect you to like Sherlock Holmes, no wonder the case was solved so quickly."

   Jiang Xia: "..." Although I don't understand what Holmes has to do with solving the case. But he remembered that Conan just said "also".

   It seems that Conan really won the invitation.

   Jiang Xia felt relieved.

  Dr. A Li listened to their conversation, and saw the date on the invitation letter. He looked at Conan tangled: "But this day... Didn't I make a reservation to go to my uncle's villa for treasure hunting with the children?"

  The Detective Boys are familiar with each other. After they got acquainted with Conan, they often followed Conan to play with Dr. A Li. Dr. Li also liked these energetic children very much. Seeing that they were discussing all day long about wanting to do something big, the doctor bought some toys with his own money, hid the toys in his uncle's old villa, and wriggled them. I tried my best to arrange some secret codes and planned to hold a "treasure hunt" game.

  Conan froze slightly when he remembered that there was such a thing.

   He struggled between "friendship" and "Sherlock Holmes" for 0.1 seconds, and decisively released a dove of peace: "Would you like to change the time, or let Huiyuan go together?"

  Conan is not interested in the treasures and puzzles of Dr. Aga, and he is now full of Sherlock Holmes books.

  The villa is some distance from here. Dr. Agasa has no other vacant schedules in the near future, so he can only accept Conan's last proposal and look at Haibara Ai.

Dr.    brought Conan over because he wanted to use Conan as the last insurance—if the children couldn’t find his gift, they couldn’t really let the children go home empty-handed, and an inner ghost had to take them to solve the puzzle.

   Now that Conan doesn't go, Haibara Ai has become the doctor's hope.

  Haihara Ai felt the sight of the old man asking for help, sighed, and closed the book in his hand: "Okay."

   Jiang Xia looked at Conan and then at Haibara Ai, lost in thought.

  ... He didn't expect the division of troops.

   Usually had to choose between ghosts and murderous aura, it was already heavy enough, and now he was even asked to do such additional questions.

  The treasure hunt in the villa that Dr. A Li said, Jiang Xia actually had an impression - he remembered that a craftsman died of illness in the attic of the villa, and has not been found so far.

   At the same time, because the craftsman has a set of fake banknote templates, there is a gun-wielding villain who has been wandering around the villa.

  Whether the craftsman will be a ghost, Jiang Xia doesn't know. But he knew that there must be murder in the gun-wielding villain.

   And for the doctor and the juvenile detective team, gunmen are a bit dangerous. If you are not careful, the case detectors who go to treasure hunt may be gone.

   On the other hand, in the Sherlock Holmes journey, there will be serial murders...

   Jiang Xia is at war between heaven and man.

   However, when Haibara Ai asked about the location of Dr. Holmes' villa, Jiang Xia overheard and suddenly found that Dr. A Li's villa was not too far from the venue of Sherlock Holmes' trip.

   In other words, this turned out to be a rare multiple-choice question - as long as you make good use of double-opening and operate properly, he can ask for all of them.

After    came to this conclusion, Jiang Xia went home at ease.

  …

   On the day of the Sherlock Holmes tour, Jiang Xia arrived at the meeting point given by the organizer on time, and then got into the van provided by the organizer.
