Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 236 How can a detective beat someone? Ask for a monthly ticket (〃)

  Sawaki Fairly withdrew his gaze from observing Jiang Xia and Conan, looked forward again, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

   He remembered what Conan saw when he was tasting the seasoning in the kitchen just now.

  If I remember correctly, not long after that, he found that Conan was whispering something to Jiang Xia - this child seems to be Jiang Xia's eyeliner.

   However, Sawagi is fairly certain. Earlier, Jiang Xia had been eyeing him since he came out of his house, so Jiang Xia had to follow him wherever he went... He must have planned to subdue him as soon as he found out that he had changed.

In this case……

  Sawagi Fairy sneered silently as he remembered the crossbow he set up.

   He adjusted his position calmly.

  Jiang Xia followed him, and when Sawagi changed his position, Jiang Xia moved slightly and was exposed to the range of the crossbow.

  Sawaki Fairy looked at this scene out of the corner of his eye, thinking about what would happen soon, and felt much more at ease.

   Even if you can't kill people, this wave is not a loss - the crossbow mechanism is just the beginning, and there are still many bombs waiting to be detonated.

   As long as Jiang Xia can be injured a little now, he will move slowly, and it will be difficult to escape later.

  In the end, Jiang Xia could only be buried in this undersea restaurant together with Nana Oyama, Katsuyoshi Asahi, and Ren Kemin.

   perfect script

  …

  The three of them went to the place where the red wine was stored together with their own thoughts.

   Conan was curiously looking at the wine on the cabinets on both sides, when he suddenly felt a line of silver smooth across his vision - in front, at the height of the adult's calf, was actually pulling a very thin wire.

  Conan looked at it, and suddenly a sense of crisis surged in his heart. He vigilantly shouted to Sawagi fair: "Hurry up!"

   Sawagi's fair response was half a beat too slow. He was in a hurry and "accidentally" broke the wire.

   Almost at the same time, a taut bow sounded, especially in a closed wine storehouse.

The    sound came from behind him.

  Conan remembered Jiang Xia who was following behind them. He was shocked and turned around anxiously: "Be careful!"

  The sharp crossbow arrow struck instantly, Conan couldn't see its shadow at all, and only heard a burst of air in despair.

   At this moment, Jiang Xia raised his hand at a speed he couldn't see clearly. The ferocious crossbow arrow turned out to be like a piece of fluttering cotton wool, and he was casually grabbing it in his hand.

   Jiang Xia looked down at the murder weapon under the shocked gaze of the two behind him.

   Then looked at the direction it flew from, and said calmly: "No one... This should be a trigger mechanism arranged by the attackers in advance. It seems that the person who left the letter has a big problem."

   Conan, who is already reviewing the hemostasis method: "..."

  Although he doesn't know why, he always forgets the setting "Jiang Xia is actually very good at fighting". But this time... if I read correctly, the arrow was shot from behind Jiang Xia.

  … Can this be caught too?

  Conan looked at Jiang Xia who was unscathed, and then looked at the arrow in his hand. In addition to admiration, he was also a little envious.

  If he had such a hand back then, when he was near the amusement park, he might not have to suffer the sap of gin, and he would not have to suffer as much as he is now.

  ...Why didn't he follow this group to learn fighting skills before?

  I regret it now, very regretful.

  …

   Just now, the movement of the crossbow firing, and the exclamations of Conan and Sawagi fair, quickly attracted the others.

  The Mumu Police Department looked at the arrow in Jiang Xia's hand and felt very familiar: "This is the same as the one the attacker shot in my stomach before! I heard that Dr. Li was also attacked by it."

  Jiang Xia handed the metal arrow to the Mumu police department, while he came to the cabinet at the end of the corridor.

   He looked at the crossbow hidden inside, and the "Eight of Spades" beside the crossbow: "It should be the same attacker."

   As a group of police officers and detectives whispered about the new attack, Sawagi Fairy stood by, looking very ugly.

   When several other people saw him like this, they didn't have any doubts, but thought it was normal. Judging from the playing cards next to the murder weapon, the attacker's target was Sawagi Fairy, and it was understandable that he was frightened.

   However, one person didn't think so.

  ——As a "prophet" with the perspective of God, Jiang Xia knew in his heart that the real reason for Sawagi's unsightly face was that he didn't expect a detective who seemed to prefer to solve problems with his head, and his force value was not too weak.

   Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but thank the police and the media.

   The cases that Jiang Xia came across are often sudden, and few media are present in advance.

And since the police found out that the prisoners who were taken from Jiang Xia looked a little lost in human form, some police officers, out of the consideration of protecting minors and protecting the reputation of detectives, seldom put reporters in the first place. put on site.

   As a result, there are not many people who know how Jiang Xia treats prisoners.

   I heard that there was a tabloid newspaper, and I got inside information from somewhere, trying to criticize this kind of abuse of prisoners and lack of humanistic care.

   However, after the report was released, it failed to trigger the society's thinking about detective ethics, but only protest letters and unsubscribe notices came pouring in like snowflakes.

  Innocent tabloids were scolded for being out of thin air, rhetoric, deliberately distorting and misleading the truth-how could a high school detective who hates evil beating people for no reason?

   Even if they were beaten, the prisoner must be too cruel, Jiang Xia had no choice but to defend himself.

  Otherwise, what else can be done, do you want to be beaten by the prisoners obediently?

   So later, few reporters mentioned this matter, and only concentrated on restoring those fancy cases.

   In the end, the audience of this world detective newspaper is more concerned with the quality of the case. As long as the techniques are novel enough and the narrative compelling enough, it doesn't really matter whether the detective who solves the case is a ruthless gopher-knocking machine in private, or a nice guy who is used to having long conversations with prisoners.

   Now it seems that Sawagi Fairy, like some other criminals, was misled by the kind of reports that never mentioned Jiang Xia's hands-on ability.

Jiang Xia secretly rejoiced, but fortunately this was the case—otherwise, in case Sawagi was too afraid of him before, he strongly refused to take him with excuses such as "Isn't today a working day, why don't high school students go to school", and suggested that the police take him. Students who skip class are sent back to school...that's a very bad thing.

  …

  In the wine storehouse, the Mumu Police Department and the others are still discussing the next countermeasures in a low voice.

   Jiang Xia secretly observed the fairness of Sawagi, and found that the murderous aura on this man flickered several times like a light bulb.
