Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 194 The Self-cultivation of Emperor Ou

   Jiang Xia rejected the proposal. He found the travel agency's phone number on Mao Lilan's ticket and took out his mobile phone: "I'll book another set of tickets."

  Suzuki Sonoko's family is relatively harmonious, with fewer people. If you go by their boat, you will probably arrive safely along the way, without incident.

On the other hand, if you take a special tourist boat, and the boats are mixed, you may be able to meet some people who have long held grudges and are only waiting to take revenge on the journey... That way, Jiang Xia can pick up some ghosts by the way, or knock some murderous intentions, by the way. Find out the murderer as soon as possible and be a good citizen who maintains law and order.

   Judging from the specifications of the Cornflower Department Store and the poster at the lottery counter in front of you, this itinerary is not cheap.

But now, it has been difficult for Jiang Xia to label himself as "lack of money": Yoko Kinoshita gives him a show from time to time, more and more rich wives come to the office to find cats, and every time he completes the "assassination" mission All of them have a lot of bonuses - Jinjiu will deduct the bonuses of those who fail to complete the task on time to him, Jiang Xia is equivalent to taking several salaries by himself.

In addition, every time Anshito asked him to take a part-time job, he would ask the boss to settle the salary on the same day, so Jiang Xia often worked part-time for one day and took two to three months of money. Money is bothering me" and so on; even Dr. A Li would occasionally put "Thanks for Inventing Explosion First Aid" in his mailbox...

   In short, since Jiang Xia exuded a little "I want to make money" breath, it seems that everyone is changing tricks to give him money. After so many days, Jiang Xia's 700 million in the maple leaf gold coin case is not less, and it has increased.

   Although Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko didn't know all of Jiang Xia's sources of funds, but just by looking at the firm's current reputation and the number of times Jiang Xia appeared on detective programs, they could guess that Jiang Xia was not short of these extras, so they didn't stop him from booking tickets.

   However, Jiang Xia still failed to get a ticket.

  —The festival of Mermaid Island is quite famous. Jiang Xia wanted to go, unless he changed to another boat and looked for a hotel on his own.

   Jiang Xia sighed and hung up the phone unwillingly.

  Suzuki Sonoko keenly found that Jiangxia's mood value has dropped.

   She approached secretly and planned to propose to take her own boat again—if Jiang Xia was too embarrassed to take the boat for fear of her spending money, then she could temporarily buy a civilian-class boat...

   But at this time, she found that Jiang Xia turned to look at the lottery table.

   After watching for a while, an illusory light bulb of inspiration seemed to appear above Jiang Xia's head.

   Then he walked towards the prize cabinet.

   There was a middle-aged aunt at the counter. She didn't care about Jiang Xia's fishing during work hours. She treated the temporary security guard as an ordinary guest and said hello with a smile.

   Jiang Xia looked at the prize announcement column and found that the highest prize was the special prize, and the first prize that Mao Lilan drew actually had two places.

   Jiang Xia asked: "Is the remaining first prize still there?"

"Yes." The waiter was a little surprised, she instantly understood Jiang Xia's intention, and whispered to discourage, "The probability of winning the lottery is really low, and we have set up several lottery booths, and the other first prize may not be in this prize box, it may take time. Even if you don't get it, you can't get it... In fact, it's better to book other tickets directly than a lottery."

   "It doesn't matter, I'll try it." Jiang Xia took two cups at random, settled the bill, and got a lottery.

  Suzuki Sonoko originally wanted to dissuade him.

   But looking at Jiang Xia's efforts to travel on the same boat with her (we), Suzuki Sonoko held her cheeks, her eyes filled with peach heart, and she forgot what she wanted to say for a while.

   After two or three seconds, Suzuki Sonoko calmed down.

   She turned around and sneaked out her mobile phone, trying to find someone to contact the travel agency secretly and throw money to get them to add a spot on the boat. It really doesn't work, just change to a big ship, and the position will definitely increase accordingly.

   However, before she finished editing the text message, she suddenly heard a surprised voice from the waiter behind her.

  Suzuki Sonoko turned around and saw that Jiang Xia had already drawn all the prizes.

   The waiter looked at the lottery ticket in Jiang Xia's hand in shock. She had seen the same thing in Mao Lilan's hand just now: "First, first prize!"

  Suzuki Sonoko: "…"

  Conan: "…"

  …There are people in the world who think what they want?

  Mao Lilan was not too surprised. She looked like she was used to it. She looked at the ticket just printed by the waiter, and said in surprise, "The seats are next to each other!"

  Jiang Xia received the ticket in a happy mood, and took the cup by the way, ready to give it to his colleagues.

   After deciding the itinerary to Mermaid Island, Jiang Xia continued to work, while Ma Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were going home.

  Conan stayed alone, waiting to meet the members of the Detective Boys. Today, there is a live performance of Masked Superman in the Cornflower Department Store, and the Detective Boys insisted to take him to watch it. Conan couldn't beat the boys, so he had to come.

  …

   Jiangxia’s shifts are morning and evening. He originally thought that today's harvest was to get a ticket to Mermaid Island.

   But when he came over in the evening, Jiang Xia suddenly caught a glimpse of the young detective team.

  … Could there be other cases?

   Jiang Xia left a ghost next to the child - in the same building, even if the ghost follows the juvenile detective team, it will not leave Jiang Xia too far, and the consumption of the ghost is not so great.

   Jiang Xia is going to rush over as soon as he encounters a murder case.

   However, until the department store was about to close, there was no movement from the Detective Boys.

   On the contrary, the atmosphere of the security room is a bit strange.

  …

   Jiang Xia sat in the security room on the negative second floor, looked at the smiling elevator lady in front of him, and looked down at the hot drinks on the table.

The older sister named Nakamura Mio in front of    is not yet 30 years old. It is said that she just came to apply for a job a few days ago. She has a generous and cheerful personality, and often brings a little something to share with her colleagues, so today, her act of distributing refreshing drinks to the security guards is not abrupt.

but…

   Jiang Xia glanced at the ghost beside him.

  —Xiaobai told him that Mio Nakamura secretly threw an unknown drug into the drink just now.

   Nakamura Mio couldn't stay in front of Jiang Xia for too long, and there were many people on the night shift. After she saw Jiang Xia pick up the cup, she stepped aside and poured tea for the others.

   Jiang Xia took advantage of no one to notice him, picked up the teacup and splashed it under the table.

At the same time as the    drink fell, a rough pufferfish-shaped clay puppet condensed in front of his legs.

   "Fugu" swallowed all the drink in his stomach, closed his mouth, and then landed silently under Jiang Xia's control, rolling with the drink to a dead corner deep in the table where no one could see, and gradually dissipating.
