Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 224 Number Sequence Take Me With You

   Jiang Xia thought for a moment and decided to try it first.

   As long as you are lucky enough and operate properly, you may not be able to accomplish what you want to do.

   Jiang Xia remembered that in the original world line, the intersection of Xu Shengyi and Maori Kogoro was that Maori Kogoro helped Xu Shengyi find the lost cat.

   He turned off the computer, went to Amuro Toru's detective office, and looked through the cat diary and the appointment book hanging at the door.

   However, in the client column, Xu Shengyi's name did not appear, and there was no other person surnamed Xu, such as Xu Shengyi's wife.

  …I don’t know if the cat is not lost,

   has actually been lost, but Xu Shengyi didn't go to him to check, but was influenced by the stubborn world line and went to Maori Kogoro.

   After all, although the murders of Kogoro Mori are now taken away by young people who don’t talk about martial arts, the Mori Detective Agency is still famous for finding various things.

  I was idle anyway, so Jiang Xia simply found a few new items that Yoko Kinoshita had given him, and used them as an excuse to go to the Maori detective office to find out the news.

   Maori Kogoro is sloppy on weekdays, and orders are piled on the table. Jiang Xia glanced at it, and really saw Xu Shengyi's request to find a cat in it.

   The photo is of a **** cat with a heart-shaped white coat on the side. The coat color and characteristics are very unique.

   Jiang Xia looked at the photo and felt that he had found the entry point for the case of Kogoro Mori.

  —Judging from the completion of the remarks on the order, Kogoro Mouri has not been able to find the cat.

   When it comes to looking for cats, Jiang Xia happens to have a group of younger brothers who are very talented in this area.

If he can pick up the cat first and send the cat to Kogoro Maori, when Kogoro Maori meets Xu Shengyi with "nine" in his name in the future, he might be able to think of Jiang Xia by the way, and learn from "Jiang Xia". "Include a "two" or something like that.

   In this way, Jiang Xia can participate logically.

  Thinking of this, Jiang Xia picked up the cat photo while Mouri Kogoro happily dismantled Yoko Kinoshita's not-for-sale items.

   He hesitated: "This cat... I seem to have seen it somewhere."

  Mori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, and temporarily put down his surroundings. He was still more concerned about the client's entrustment: "Do you remember the specific location?"

   Jiang Xia thought for a while: "It seems to be next to the Metropolitan Police Department."

   This is a lie.

   Jiang Xia has only seen the beautiful photo of this cat, and he saw it on Maori Kogoro's table a few seconds ago. He has never seen its real cat at all.

   Jiang Xia would say this, just to pave the way for catching a cat in the future - I have seen a cat, I have paid attention to this commission, and then suddenly catch a cat and give it to Kogoro Maori, this will be more reasonable.

  If you can't find a cat in the future, then of course it's nothing. A cat, a creature that runs around the world as soon as it goes out, has seen it once and can't catch it, which is very reasonable.

   But if he was caught, he would have brought a cat to Kogoro Mouri for no reason, and then a few days later, the cat's owner was suddenly murdered... I always felt that something was wrong when I thought about it.

   Jiang Xia assessed himself objectively and felt that he was not a law-abiding citizen without flaws.

   So some suspicious coincidences can be avoided, and it is best to avoid them as much as possible. Although there is no problem with two together, this kind of thing is like toxins accumulated in the body. If there is too much accumulation, one day it will be on the verge of falling.

   loses the vest of a good citizen, as long as there is no evidence, it is impossible to enter the game. But that will be guarded by the good people in the red side, and it will not be easy to pick up ghosts in cases like now...

  Mori Kogoro didn't think much, wrote down what Jiang Xia said, and prepared to look for it later.

  …

   Jiang Xia finished punching in the card at Mouri Kogoro's office, got the information he wanted, and left soon.

   After leaving the Maori Detective Agency, Jiang Xia sent a group message to the younger brothers, asking them to pay more attention to the cat on the side.

At the same time, he stopped by Dr. A Li's house, intending to see if any fresh cats were brought over. In case any of the younger brothers is gifted and sees a cat that doesn't look like a stray cat, he just grabs it back. .

   Unfortunately, Dr. A Li's house does not have the cat Jiang Xia was looking for.

   But there are dishes he wants to eat.

   Jiang Xia rubbed a meal in Huiyuan Ai, and continued to urge his younger brother to find a cat.

   He himself temporarily returned to the detective office to deal with the fragmentary commissions squeezed during the trip to Mermaid Island. When I got home, I had to check other cases that might happen in the near future—on the list sent by Jinjiu, there was another name that Jiang Xia felt familiar.

  …

   Just two days later, when Jiang Xia was looking at the documents at home, he suddenly received a message from the yellow-haired brother.

  —Huang Mao said that he saw the cat Jiang Xia was looking for on the balcony of an apartment building.

   Jiang Xia quickly arrived at the place he said, looking up.

  This apartment has a total of six floors. The target cat is lying on the balcony railing of a certain family on the fourth floor, sleeping very comfortably.

   I don’t know if it was picked up by someone or if it climbed up on its own.

   However, most people should not put cats on semi-open balconies. Jiang Xia felt that the latter was more likely.

  The location on the fourth floor is too high to go down. It is not easy for humans to get a cat.

   Jiang Xia looked around and found that it was quite quiet and no one was there.

   So he wanted to send his younger brother away, just squeezed a large bird out of clay and grabbed the cat.

   However, the younger brother had just left, and when Jiang Xia was about to hide and squeeze the puppet, the ghosts suddenly reacted.

  —There is murder in that house.

   is not strong, but it does exist.

   Jiang Xia was startled.

   After thinking for a moment, he put away the puppet clay and walked into the apartment building.

   This apartment has no unit door.

   Jiang Xia glanced at the mailbox on the first floor, and compared with the room number he saw just now, he found that the resident of the house where the target cat was located was named Naoki Uemura.

The name    gave Jiang Xia a sense of familiarity.

   In the impression, Naoki Uemura is a little famous football player. Not long ago, during a training session, his calf was accidentally kicked by his friend Akagi Hero and fractured.

  Uemura Naoki firmly believes that Akagi Hero deliberately kicked off his right leg because he was worried about being overtaken by him.

So Uemura Naoki used his relationship with Akagi Hero to bring Akagi Hero's younger brother back to his home to play in an important game, and forged the illusion that his younger brother was kidnapped, and anonymously sent a threatening letter to Akagi Hero, asking Akagi Hiro played match-fixing and lost the game on purpose.

   Thinking of this, Jiang Xia let the ghost float upstairs to check the situation.

  In room 402, there are two people, one big and one small.

  The child was concentrating on playing games, while the adult had a plaster cast on his right leg. He sat beside him and watched the football game on TV gloomily.
