Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 186 New Ghost's Request for a Monthly Pass (ˉˉ)

   Fortunately, this little regret is not enough to offset the joy of encountering a new ghost - such a rare thing as a ghost, it is already very lucky to be able to pick up one.

   After observing the situation, Jiang Xia tapped his fingers on his knees.

  Xiaobai and the others received instructions, let go of the new ghost who was surrounded by circles, and floated back again.

   Xin Gui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly moved away a little.

  …

   Jiangxia began to listen to the commission again.

  The chairman mentioned the change in the house last night - it was actually the murderer practicing the killing technique, but the chairman didn't know the inside story and said he wanted to ask detectives to help catch the thief.

When    was speaking, the female secretary, Hinata was fortunate enough to leave.

   Several other people from the Nagato family came over one after another and showed their faces.

   Chairman Nagato was introducing his two daughters to Jiang Xia and the others when a creaking sound came from the bedroom door.

   Jiang Xia turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a man wearing a knitted hat and bandages all over his face, with only one pair of eyes showing. The man ripped open the bedroom door and looked in furtively.

  Mao Lilan looked at the terrifyingly bandaged man, a little nervous, and leaned beside Jiang Xia, at the same time clenching his fists vigilantly.

  The second daughter of the elders' family saw this and introduced it a little embarrassedly: "This is my brother - Nagato Hideomi."

   This dress and behavior doesn't quite match his name "Nagato Hideomi" - it's not delicate at all, but it looks like a cos perverted murderer.

   Nagato Hideomi was taciturn, did not enter the door, only bowed and left quickly.

   After he left, the daughter of Nagato continued in a low voice: "Twenty years ago, my brother rushed into the fire and saved a little girl - unfortunately, he was disfigured by the fire, so he would cover his face with a bandage."

   "So that's how it is..." Mao Lilan loosened his fists and his eyes became somewhat admirable.

   Jiang Xia did not make a sound. He knew that the "Nagato Hideomi" just now was actually a counterfeit - this is the female secretary who just left, Hyuga Yukie pretending to be.

   And the real Hideomi Nagato committed suicide yesterday. It's already cold now...

  …

   Twenty years ago, the fire that turned Hideomi Nagato into a hero was actually caused by himself and his friends.

   Nagato Hideomi realized that he was in trouble, rushed into the fire and rescued a little girl. The girl's parents died in the fire.

   The girl who was rescued was the current secretary of Chairman Nagato, Yukio Hinata.

  Hinata Yukio can't remember who set the fire, but she is very grateful to the "beneficiary" who has always encouraged her, and she is also engaged to the benefactor.

   Until yesterday morning, Nagato Hideomi committed suicide. It happened that Hinata was the first to discover his body, and only then did he understand everything through the suicide note he left behind.

   In addition to Nagato Hideomi, another person who set the fire is called Nakajima Guangming.

   This person is now the son-in-law of the Nagato family.

  In anger, Hinata decided to kill Nakajima Guangming, who had changed his surname, to avenge his parents.

  …

  Jiang Xia remembered these past events, and once again thought of the ghost child beside the female secretary's leg.

   They should be Hinata Yuki's parents - the couple who were burned to death in the fire.

   After listening to the request, he left the bedroom.

   Jiang Xia went to an unoccupied place on the pretext of checking the traces of the thief.

   Based on experience, he felt that the pair of ghosts would come to him and ask him to help save his daughter.

   As a result, after waiting for a long time, the new ghost fetus did not show up at all.

   Jiang Xia waited for another ten minutes calmly.

   Then he lost his patience, snapped his fingers, and asked Wutengu to bring the new ghost over to talk.

   But before the foggy dog ​​took off, Jiang Xia suddenly felt something.

   He looked down at the door.

   I saw the pair of new ghosts who were hugging each other struggling to squirm over.

Jiang Xia and the three ghosts watched the new ghost walking and understood why it was so slow: walking with two ghosts together is really not easy, and they can only walk sideways, which is even more difficult than two people with three legs. .

  ...It should be easy to turn around after so much effort to find him.

  …

   Shin Oni did not refuse the contract.

   But a corresponding request was also made.

  ——They sensed their daughter's killing intent, and wanted to stop Hinata Yukio from killing her, so that she could let go of her past affairs and live her own peaceful life.

   Jiang Xia thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. This is not too difficult, there are many solutions.

  …

  Tonight, Jiang Xia stayed at Nagato's house, ostensibly to help catch the thief.

  Maurilan and Conan also stayed behind - Mori Kogoro's alumni reunion, a three-day and two-night itinerary, focusing on the fireworks festival tomorrow night. Today is a day for rest, and I won't delay my trip if I don't go back to the hotel.

  The two high school students felt that being with their classmates was more comfortable than being with their uncles and aunts, and they could also help Jiang Xia.

  …

  Tonight is the birthday of Chairman Nagato.

  The chairman was sick in bed and could not move, so he only held a small birthday party in the bedroom.

   Jiang Xia and the others were considered guests and were also invited.

During the    period, Nagato Hideomi never showed up.

  The son-in-law Guangming said he was going to go out to find him and left the room.

   After a while, the phone in the bedroom rang suddenly.

   Jiang Xia happened to be standing beside him.

   Hearing the ringing of the bell, he acted as if he had just recovered, and "instinctively" pressed the speakerphone.

   A scream came from the loudspeaker.

   Nakajima Guangming shouted: "I'm in the room directly below you now! Someone suddenly turned off the lights and attacked me from behind... Help!!"
