Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 26 Are we not good partners? Ask for a monthly pass (ω＼)

  Jiang Xia walked into the haunted house, and soon, at the end of the corridor, he found a floor that had been lifted, and a flight of steps appeared below the floor.

   Follow the steps behind the floor, all the way down to the end, and there is a lighted dungeon in front of you.

   This is where the dutiful son is locked up by his mother.

   The door was open, and there was a faint voice of Conan's reasoning.

   Jiang Xia walked to the door and looked inside.

   A row of iron railings crossed the center of the room, dividing a prison cell.

  The son was sitting in the prison unkempt, with a shikigami on his lap.

   And outside the railing, there are three people in total - Conan, Ayumi, and a woman with white hair and very thin.

   The silver-white waist-length hair made Jiang Xia's fingers move slightly, and the conditioned reflex wanted to grab something.

   But with a little concentration, you can find that the murderous aura on a woman is very weak.

   can only be classified into the level of "satisfying hunger", which is not even as fresh as the murderousness of the kidnapper last time.

  Gui Ying looked at the woman in front of him, and was slightly disappointed after a start.

   However, it is not as picky as Jiangxia, and it is very satisfying to eat it with murderous aura. So still very energetic jumped to the ground, ready to pick up.

   The white-haired woman held a knife and stared at Conan and Ayumi who were huddled in the corner, feeling extremely excited.

   She turned her back to the door, not realizing there was another person over there.

  Conan saw it, his reasoning voice paused for a while, and quickly resumed it as if nothing had happened.

   But, he obviously didn't control his emotions.

   When he spoke, his qi was much stronger than before.

   Fortunately, the old woman's mental state was not good, and she didn't notice Conan's abnormality.

  Ayumi looked at Jiang Xia timidly, but also did not make a sound.

   I don't know if I became witty in a dangerous situation, or I was too scared to make a sound.

   Of course, there may also be an illusion that Yan Gou often has - the big brother at the door doesn't look like a bad person.

  …

  Conan is obviously the kind of detective who will finish his reasoning before he dies, even if he loses his life.

   Actually, in the beginning, the white-haired old lady didn't want to kill anyone.

   Yuanta and Mitsuhiko, who were lying in the yard, were only fainted by her.

   She thought, even if there is a child to report the crime, the police will not take care of it

   But Conan is different.

  ——Conan not only saw his son in the dungeon, he even guessed that his son was the murderer back then.

   "There are homeless people in the haunted house", and "there are murderers in the haunted house" are completely different.

  If it is the latter, the police may really come.

   So at this time, the white-haired woman listened to Conan's reasoning, and there was some real murderous aura on her body.

   When Conan said "the one who killed your husband was actually your son", the old woman finally broke out.

   "Shut up!" She grabbed Conan's neck and raised the kitchen knife with a grim expression.

  Ayumi let out an exclamation and covered her eyes.

  Conan was also stunned.

……Wait a moment.

  How come the script is different from what he thought.

   He clearly saw Jiang Xia just now.

   Shouldn't the normal situation be: he deduced the truth by himself, Jiang Xia controlled the old woman at the same time, and finally the two smiled at each other tacitly, and took out the phone to call the police, hiding their merits and fame.

Why……

  Conan dizzy before being pinched.

   He couldn't help but begin to doubt himself, struggling to look at the door again to find out if Jiang Xia was here.

   But the old woman blocked his view.

  ——The angry mother let out a roar, closed her eyes tightly, and slashed with the knife. With her eyes open, she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted.

   However, before the blade could pierce the human body, her palm was suddenly empty.

   The raised kitchen knife was pulled from behind.

   Almost at the same time, someone pressed her shoulder.

   When the white-haired woman came to her senses, half of her body was numb and she slumped on the ground.

   There was a faint sound of sirens outside the house.

  Jiang Xia glanced at the door, thinking that it was accurate to step on it, as expected of a policeman in this world.

   He threw the captured knife into the corner, and suddenly found a mop beside his feet, so he picked it up.

  Although the door to the tunnel is open, it will definitely take some time for the police to find the entrance.

   Before the police arrive, quickly knock down the murderous aura.

   Just now, seeing Conan being pinched, Jiang Xia wanted to come over and grab the sword.

   However, seeing Conan chatter more, the more murderous aura on the white-haired woman... Jiang Xia couldn't help but waited curiously, wanting to see how much murderous aura could rise.

   The results are surprising.

   Conan is really talented in pulling hatred.

   The white-haired woman sitting on the ground covered her shoulders, turned her head, and looked at Jiang Xia who was carrying a mop with a face full of unwillingness.

   The two looked at each other.

   After a while, the murderous aura wrapped around the old lady began to loosen consciously.

  ...Maybe she measured the strength of both sides, and then quickly realized that she couldn't continue to kill. So I can only give up the idea of ​​killing.

   The ghost baby, who had been waiting for a long time, trotted over, rolled the fallen murderous aura into a fluffy ball like a marshmallow, and brought it back to Jiang Xia to see.

  Jiang Xia squatted down, took out the cigarette case containing the ghost mint, tore open the sealed package, and let the murderous aura in.
