Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 272 Boss, you can recharge so fast

   Kidd didn't delay, and immediately handed over the club.

  Misttengu lowered his head and looked at it, took the cue, and wiped it with a cloth very carefully, and then he was quite satisfied.

   Kidd made a secret observation and found that the pair of teeth that symbolized "I want to eat people" had been retracted, and I was relieved.

  Krypton Gold is still useful. In order for Aoko and other innocent people to not be eaten by monsters, he and Grandpa Terai sacrificed too much...

   Kidd sighed, and while the foggy tengu was busy dealing with the club, he turned to look outside.

   The police officers who poured into the billiard hall just now were not for Kidd the phantom thief, but officers from the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department. The comatose boss and the black-clothed brothers have been put into the car one after another at this time.

  Lian Luo, an old subordinate of the boss, was also among those who were taken away. Grandpa Terai also chased out, and the two old rivals looked at each other sympathetically.

  No one noticed this.

   Kidd withdrew his gaze, walked back to Wutengu, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "By the way, after a while... I may go to your hometown."

   Jiang Xia: "...?"

   He wondered for a moment, and suddenly had a brain circuit with Kidd-"Hometown" should be referring to the mountain where Shanni Temple is located.

The legend of   Fog Tengu is most prevalent in that area. So at that time, the old monk would use the legend to kill Zhongnian.

   Otherwise, this "hometown" cannot always refer to Jiangxia's own home...

After    figured this out, Jiang Xia's eyes at Kidd became strange - just go and tell him what to do, he was addicted to being robbed?

   In addition, what treasures can be found in the deep mountains... Jiang Xia began to search for relevant cases in his memory bank.

   Kidd noticed the slight doubts of Wutiangu, and he worded it and continued: "I'm not here to steal treasures this time, I just want to go over and inquire about something. So let me tell you in advance."

  ——The main reason is that the foggy tengu discovered his whereabouts like today, and followed him secretly, taking it for granted that there was a treasure. Then, when he arrived at the place, he found that there was none at all, so he beat him up in anger, or eaten people to satisfy his greed... that was too wrong.

   This time, Jiang Xia couldn't keep up with Kidd's vast brain circuits.

   But there was one thing he managed to grasp—there might be a case.

   Jiangxia put down his club temporarily and asked Kidd when he entered the mountain and where he was going.

After    Kidd answered, he curiously remembered a question-how do monsters usually time time, and also use a calendar?

  ... However, after all, it is a monster living in modern times. Since Wutengu can follow the notice in the newspaper every time and come to rob him, the mere date is of course no problem. Shouldn't be worried.

  Wait, speaking of following the notice in the newspaper...

   Kidd hesitated, but in the end he couldn't suppress his curiosity

  . Seeing Wutiangu holding a club, he seemed in a good mood. He took the opportunity to ask, "How did you find me today? The boss probably didn't put my notice in the newspaper."

   Jiang Xia said in a perfunctory way: "Meeting by chance."

   "That's it..." Kidd was relieved, Wutiangou should be disdainful of lying, it seems that usually, Brother Yokai does not follow him secretly, mainly relying on newspapers to find the location of his crime, and then squatting.

   But when it comes to newspapers, a monster who usually lives in the deep mountains should not be able to order that kind of thing. Did he steal... rob... take someone else's newspaper?

   After all, newspapers are usually inserted in the letterbox, and the location is very good...  

  …

   Jiang Xia took the last bit of energy core, looked at the comfortable ghosts around him, and handed the club to Kidd.

Then I saw Kidd silent for a moment, and suddenly whispered his experience: "Don't just grab a newspaper and take it from one family. It doesn't matter if you lose this cheap thing once or twice, but if you lose it every time, the owner may call the police, or even go to the door of the house. Install a camera."

   Jiang Xia: "...?"

   Kidd finished speaking and walked away with a club. At the same time, there was a burst of guilt in his heart, feeling that he had taught the monsters badly.

   Jiang Xia watched him run away inexplicably.

After    Kidd's back disappeared, Jiang Xia still didn't understand the source of the sentence just now, so he didn't bother to continue to speculate.

   He dealt with the things on the vest, disbanded the puppet, and returned to the body.

  …

   The next day, Jiang Xia routinely went to the detective office to check the mailbox.

The    letterbox contained a lot of things, he took them all out, and as he walked into the house, he picked out the advertisements and threw them into the trash.

   After throwing it away, the stack of paper in his hand suddenly lost half of its thickness.

   The rest is nothing more than a pile of newspapers and the client's reservation form.

   Jiang Xia was about to classify the orders, but at this moment, an envelope suddenly fell out of the newspaper and fell to the ground.

   Jiang Xia was startled, and Weishui picked up the letter in surprise.

   turned over and looked, Jiang Xia: "..."

  ——The location of the sender, three big characters are written: Nakamura.

   With a glimmer of hope, he took it apart and looked at it. The contents inside were a shocking hope that Jiang Xia would go to her grandfather's villa and help solve the puzzle.

   The watch case that was just solved.

  ... It seems that after the letter was sent, the Jiangxia people arrived first.

The letter of entrustment    received for the first time turned out to be an old case. Jiang Xia sighed faintly, shredded the phone number and names on the letter, and threw the letter and the advertisement into the trash can.

   The client feinted a shot, and Jiang Xia's mood plummeted.

   But in the evening, he suddenly received a call from Amuro - inviting him to work.

  …

   Early the next morning, Jiang Xia came to a wedding company according to the address given by An Shitou.

   Then at the gate, I was surprised to see Toru Amuro.

   The accident was because, in the past, Amuro Toru also sent him part-time job errands, but he was on top of the shift a few times.

   But today, looking at the situation... Amuro Toru actually wants to do this part-time job together.

  ...The boss has recharged so quickly?

   Jiang Xia approached suspiciously again, opened the door, and sat in the co-pilot.

  Today, Amuro did not drive his beloved Mazda, but drove the advertising car of the wedding company-he took the odd job here to help prepare a wedding.

   The main selling point of this wedding company is "personalization" - the customer is God. As long as the customer makes a request, no matter how outrageous, the company will try its best to undertake it.

   In order to respond to the various requirements of customers, it is inevitable to go to various places to purchase various items and order various props. Today, Amuro Toru and he are in charge of coordinating those odds and ends.

   On the way to pick up the custom props, Toru Amuro turned on his anti-eavesdropping device and took a turn in the car.

   Then turned off the instrument and looked at Jiang Xia: "Have you heard of Matsumoto Kiyosaka?"
