Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 184 Another Consortium

  Tanaka Jiro's aftermath was very rushed. It didn't take long for the police to find his crime tools and bloodstained clothing in a corner of the yard.

   After dealing with this temporary door-to-door case, Jiang Xia did not forget the previous case of planting.

  Forget it, I was busy with one afternoon and one night today, and I picked up two ghosts, which is quite rewarding.

  The murderer didn't need Jiang Xia to come forward to catch him. He gave the real murderer's idea of ​​committing the crime, and the rest was handed over to the busy police.

  …

   The next day, Jiang Xia came to the police station early, finished writing the transcript, and took two shikigami by the way.

   Dongshan, who was caught by mistake, has been released, and he successfully boarded the plane to attend his daughter's wedding.

  Dr. Ali's tropical rainbow was also successfully blasted, and he was not destroyed by Conan's righteousness like in the original world line.

   Jiang Xia checked the time after leaving the police station and found that it was still too late, so he went to watch the Doctor's colorful bombing operation. The effect of this bomb sounds a little tasteless, but it is really beautiful, and it looks like a firework from a distance.

   After picking up ghosts and watching the fireworks, Jiang Xia returned to the office in a good mood, continued to work on the case, and checked the mailbox N times a day.

   He felt that his popularity was not too low now, but for some reason, he just couldn't receive a commission from a distance, maybe the time had not come.

   However, after a few days, Jiang Xia received a call for entrustment.

   The client claimed to be the housekeeper of Nagato Mansion. He did not mention the specific contents of the entrustment, but only said that Jiang Xia would come to the house to discuss in detail.

   Among the island nations of this world, there is a family named "Nagato", which is said to be similar in status to the Suzuki Foundation.

   Jiang Xia did have some impressions of the Nagato Group. He remembered that there were ghosts to pick up here.

   So he decided to go and see the situation.

   This time, Jiang Xia wanted to bring a few murder collectors with him. But he went to visit the Maori Detective Agency, only to find that this perennial agency had closed down, and the three seemed to have gone out.

   Jiangxia can only turn back.

  Although I didn't catch Conan, but if I'm lucky, I might meet Hattori Heiji in this incident...

  …

   Jiang Xia was worried that things were unstable.

   Yet he seems to have underestimated his luck.

   Jiang Xia arrived, and just followed the map to the street where Nagato's house was, and suddenly saw two familiar figures in front of him - Ma Lilan and Conan walking towards him as if taking a walk.

   Jiang Xia looked at them, and his feet stopped suddenly.

   Almost at the same time, Mao Lilan also discovered him. She was a little surprised that she could meet her classmates in such a place.

   Soon, Mao Lilan trotted over and said happily, "Are you here to travel too?"

  The hot springs nearby are quite famous. Kogoro Mouri came here today to attend the class reunion, and he brought Mourilan and Conan along.

  It is not interesting to soak in hot springs in the daytime, and there are actually many famous scenic spots nearby, so Mao Lilan wanted to come out to see the scenery, but he didn't expect to walk and meet Jiangxia.

  Conan was very happy to meet acquaintances outside.

   At the same time, he also subconsciously touched his pocket.

The    earmuffs still lay securely in the pockets.

  —Ever since I found out that I can meet Jiang Xia when I go to Osaka, these earmuffs have become Conan’s personal props like the glasses bow.

   Jiang Xia glanced at Conan's hand touching the earmuff.

  Mao Lilan didn't notice Conan's little actions, she was still happily chatting with Jiang Xia.

  Acquaintances suddenly meet in other places. There are usually two situations. One is to say hello and chat a few words, then wave goodbye, each doing its own thing, and the other is a happy merging team.

  Mao Lilan originally planned to act in the first way, because Jiang Xia sounded serious.

   However, after chatting, when it was time to say goodbye, Jiang Xia suddenly sent an invitation: "Everyone is here, do you want to go see it together?"

   Although I took my children and classmates to accept the request, it looked a bit strange. But in the original plot line, when Maori Kogoro was entrusted, he also ran around with his children.

   If other detectives can do it, so should he.

  Mao Lilan was startled, she looked at the beautiful yard of Nagato's house like a scenic spot, and she was interested.

  Conan also secretly said: "Sister Xiaolan, let's go take a look too."

   In Conan's eyes, commissioning is much more interesting than seeing the scenery.

  …

   When Jiang Xia tried to abduct two classmates with incident physique, Nagato's house.

   Hattori Heizo and his son are checking around in the Nagato family's mansion.

  Last night, the chairman of Nagato Group heard some strange noises—the sound of running came from the corridor, and there were several strange sounds of objects colliding outside the house.

  Chairman Nagato always had some bad premonitions, so he asked his old friend - Hattori Hirato to help.

   I didn't lose anything last night, and there was no accident. It's difficult to file a case in this case. Hattori Heizang can only come to investigate in a private capacity.

   After he checked it, he suspected that the thief was stepping on the spot in advance. And if so, according to experience, the thief is likely to come again tonight and can wait for the rabbit.

   It’s just that Hattori Heizo has a high position and is very busy, so it’s impossible to stay here for a long time for a little thief.

   So he could only instruct the security guards here to be more vigilant, and by the way, he left his son at the town to help.

   In addition, Hattori Hizang associated his son with "case handling", so he couldn't help but think of Jiang Xia who went to Osaka last time.
