Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 164 Flooded Xiaobai (anti-theft plus more)

The search area where    Jiangxia was assigned did not include the bathtub with Lihua Yotsui hidden in it.

   He then paddled with confidence, and by the way borrowed the ghost's night vision ability in advance.

   Not long after, the room suddenly went dark, and the villa lost power.

  Suzuki Sonoko let out a shriek mixed with surprise, closed his eyes and fluttered to the side≧≦.

   She remembered that Jiang Xia was in that direction before the power outage.

  Suzuki Sonoko hugged the person smoothly, she pressed it and rubbed her face: "Why did the power suddenly go out, it's so dark..." Hmm?

  ...Wait a minute, why can she rub against each other's face?

  According to the height, if not the shoulders, at least it should be the neck...

  Suzuki Sonoko was wondering, the next second, she heard the person in her arms helplessly say, "Sonoko..."

   is Mao Lilan's voice.

  Suzuki Sonoko: "...!"

  QAQ

……never mind. Xiaolan's face is also very good, this wave is not a loss, not a loss...

  Suzuki Sonoko let go of her hands tearfully and heard Jiang Xia's voice not far from the side.

   Jiang Xia's tone was always calm: "I remember that the electric switch is in the corridor to the west, not far from here, go check it out."

  Conan responded, turned on the flashlight on his watch, and a few people followed the weak light to the switch.

When    was about to reach the place, he suddenly heard the sound of the window opening with a "creak", and immediately after that, the villa was lit up again - there was an incoming call.

   Jiang Xia looked at the electric switch and found that there were four people gathered there, plus the four of them, all the eight people who went to search the villa just now gathered.

   A group of people briefly exchanged the situation. Soon, under the guidance of an inner ghost, the young talents came to the conclusion that the murderer escaped into the forest while taking advantage of the chaos, and hadn't run far.

  The irritable Ponytail rolled up his sleeves, turned over the window and rushed into the forest: "Bastard, don't try to run!"

   Jiang Xia also chased after him: "Wait, it doesn't have to be..." He ran farther and farther, so his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally Jiang Xia disappeared into the woods together with his voice.

  Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko stayed for a while and hurried to catch up. Conan also tried to chase after them. Not to mention the other young talents, the group all burrowed into the woods in an instant.

  The surrounding trees are still dense, and it was very dark at night, and a group of people quickly dispersed into several small groups.

   Jiang Xia ran for a while, but there was no one around.

  He found a random place, hung up while standing, and his consciousness was cut into Xiaobai's puppet.

   As the eight of them left just now, only Granny Mi and Xiaobai were left in the restaurant. Later, when Granny Mi saw them running into the woods, she was afraid that some young people would get lost, so she chased after them.

   So now, there is only one ghost, Xiaobai, in the restaurant.

   Jiang Xia possessed Xiaobai's puppet and opened his eyes on the sofa.

   was looking around when he suddenly heard a series of rapid footsteps.

   In order not to disturb the person who came, Jiang Xia closed his eyes again.

   It was Ichiro that ran over.

   Ichiji Takashi looked at the sleeping child on the sofa, a little confused.

   is so small, can you clearly express the situation of "being drowned by someone pressing his head into the water"? He needs this kind of testimony.

And if you look closely, the kid is not as big as the sink in Sijing's house. If the bear kid wakes up and says something like "Someone pushed me to swim in the pool", the famous detective in Jiang Xia thought of "" Sijing Lihua was also soaked in water" and other details, then it's over...

   But now, even Granny Mi has run away, and there are no other witnesses to fiddle with, so Iljilong has no choice at all.

He picked Xiao Bai up from the sofa and took him to the kitchen. While pouring water into the sink, he shook Jiang Xia, trying to wake him up—sleeping pills were meant to prevent the drowning people from resisting, not to make them completely unconscious. , otherwise he would not be able to provide the testimony he wanted.

   Jiang Xia also thought of this, so he made a special call to come back, ready to flutter politely later, and take the opportunity to spit out the coffee in the puppet's body.

   The puppet does not have a digestive function. If you leave it alone, when the puppet is lifted later, coffee will be spilled on the ground, which does not satisfy Jiang Xia's demand for the puppet to "come without a trace".

   However, when Jiang Xia "recovered consciousness" according to Yizhilong's script, when he opened his eyes, he looked at Yizhilong's calf and was suddenly startled.

   Just now, there was only one shikigami on the killer's leg.

   But now, another one came out of nowhere.

  This shikigami seems to be a newcomer. At this time, he has just touched Yizhilong's ankle and is climbing up.

   Jiang Xia fell into contemplation.

  ... Whose shikigami is this?

  Did Ichiji Takashi was followed too closely in the woods just now, and he killed one of them because of annoyance, or did Yotsui Reika die prematurely due to some accident?

   Jiang Xia pokes the foggy dog ​​next to him.

  Misttengu understood, and flapped his wings and flew to the bathtub where Reika Yotsui was hidden.

   Soon, Jiang Xia sensed the news from Wutiangou,——Yijing Lihua was out of breath.

   The cause of death seems to be that Ichiro was afraid that she would cry out when she woke up, so when she blocked her mouth and nose, she blocked her very tightly. Sijing Lihua's body was also tightly imprisoned, her breathing was blocked, and in the end, before the water drowned her face, she suffocated to death.

  The unexpected situation made Jiang Xia slightly surprised. In the original story, that didn't happen.

  ...I don't know if it's just an accidental technical error, or Ichiji Takashi was too nervous and wrapped the tape over his mouth too tightly.

  If it's the latter... Jiang Xia thought, could it be because the deterrent force of his "criminal genius" is too strong, making Yizhilong feel threatened?

   It’s not good to go on like this. If I remember correctly, there will be many people who will come to find the murderer entrusted by the detective with ideas such as "challenging the detective" and "flicking the detective as an eyewitness".

  ...Tsk, it seems that when I come into contact with these people in the future, I have to behave a little more kindly. Or release some weaknesses that do not exist, so that there must be daring prisoners willing to come to him and take risks.

   However, that is something to be considered later.

   The most important thing right now is to get the two shikigami in front of you.

  …

   Yizhilong quickly filled a pool of water.

   He grabbed Jiang Xia to the side of the pool and pressed his head down——

  ... Couldn't press.

   The child who was still in a daze just now pushed Yizhilong's hand away with ease.

   Then Jiang Xia sat on the sink in the kitchen, picked up the rolling pin beside him, and turned his face faintly.

   Ichiji Takashi met the child's hidden excited gaze, and the ground froze behind him, and the desire to survive in his head kept buzzing.
