Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 594 Karasuma Renye asks monthly pass ()

   White Horse Detective was battered by the eagle that failed to take off, and his wings were covered with hair.

   After a start, he hurriedly hugged Watson, who had failed to take off and was thrashing about trying to find a foothold.

   Then he looked at the eagle in surprise, and then followed the eagle's line of sight to Jiang Xia, frowning in confusion: Why is Watson so excited today? Was it because he heard "Kid" in his words, Watson thought it was some kind of attack command, so he rushed towards Kidd?

  ... However, White Horse thought, when he arrested Kidd, he seldom took Watson with him. I've never done this kind of training. It was impossible for Watson to have awakened his skills against phantom thieves.

  ... Or is that black-clothed youth hiding something else that attracts eagles, such as the unique smell of blood?

  …

   Jiang Xia's gaze swept flatly towards the thrashing eagle, but withdrew his gaze indifferently.

   And then sneaked a glance at the misty tengu that was quietly clinging to his hand and living like a fluffy glove.

   and looked at the lively mermaid who was swimming left and right after finding that the eagle was tied.

  "..." What are you doing to bully others, a fluffy eagle, very cute. If he is bald by the mermaid, he will not find a chance to be bald in the future...

   The eagle on the opposite side suddenly shuddered.

  The white horse touched it and smoothed it.

   At the same time, he looked at Watson's head spinning around, and found that it was no longer only staring at Kurosawa, but occasionally looked elsewhere, with its eyes wandering.

  "?" After a moment of doubt, White Horse Detective began to think about other reasons.

——For example, Watson's abnormality today has nothing to do with Heisawa, just because he got sick and his mental state became strange, or... In this annex, there are some things that will make the eagle excited. thing?

   When White Horse was busy with eagles.

   Others are also thinking about the host just now.

  ——With Kidd's usual behavior, it is indeed difficult to imagine that he would do such a thing today.

  Although the "Phantom Son Abandoned by God" on the invitation letter can indeed be related to "Kid", but now it seems that it is probably someone who pretended to be this popular phantom thief and sent an invitation letter in order to gather detectives.

   Therefore, compared to the treasure, everyone is more curious about the host who hides his head and shows his tail - this person not only used a "dummy" to replace himself at the dinner party, but also never had contact with the maid, and attached great importance to hiding his identity.

  ... As soon as I thought of the maid, the door of the restaurant was knocked twice by the client.

   The maid gently opened the door, then returned to the dining cart that she had pushed, and began to serve the guests.

  …

   Jiang Xia looked at the fragrant food in front of him and sniffed quietly, but couldn't smell it. Although puppets look and feel the same as humans, their inner structures are different. Drinking water will be kept intact in the shell. In other words, eating is not only tasteless, but when the puppet disappears, it is easy to leave traces.

   "..." Facing a table of sumptuous meals, Jiang Xia sighed in his heart.

   Then he silently moved the soup closer to himself.

  Although I can explain my hunger strike with "I have no appetite at the haunted house". But in this case, if you don't eat anything, it will look very strange, and it is easy to be targeted as the mastermind behind the scenes for the first time... Just pretend to drink some soup, the soup bowl can be put close to your mouth, pretend to drink, I didn't actually drink it, and the food didn't have such a perfunctory effect.

Beside   , Amuro Toru looked at his hands playing with the soup bowl and questioned very directly:

   "Just now the host said it was the 'Last Supper'... Saying this at the beginning of the game always feels very unlucky. There is no poison in the food."

Opposite   , the fat food detective laughed:

   "What are you afraid of? These meals are all made by me, and of course the ingredients have been carefully cleaned."

  White Horse looked at the eagle looking into the air with one hand holding the probe, and the other hand took off the eagle feathers on his face, looking a little bit in a hurry.

   However, he still has the temperament of the eldest young master, and he is also listening carefully to other people's words: "Even if the food is prepared by your own hands, the tableware is placed here in advance. It is better to wipe each one before eating, it is more secure."

   Qianjian's mother-in-law doesn't seem to care much about these things, and the whole person has a Buddhist aura that can live for as long as possible.

She turned her head to the side, glanced at Jiang Xia's slow movement of the soup bowl, and pushed her own bowl over, inexplicably having a sense of compassion for the dying person: "If you don't have an appetite for other meals, I will do this. I'll give you the bowl too."

   Jiang Xia: "..." No. Do not increase the weight of the puppet any more.

   But he still nodded his head first, took it politely, and put it aside... Anyway, no one saw whether he really finished drinking.

  …

   Golems don't get hungry, but the humans next to them don't.

   They ran all the way, and by this time, they were all hungry.

   Considering that they have the strength to reason when they are full, and since the host wants them to hunt for treasures, they should not poison people as soon as they come up. A group of people wiped the tableware and began to eat.

  …

   A meal is eaten quickly.

   Until the end, no one was poisoned and fell to the ground. The crowd gradually calmed down.

   After a while, Qianjian, who was the slowest eater, also finished her meal and wiped her mouth.

   At this time, the host's gloomy voice sounded again:

   "Are you still satisfied with the dinner? Then, let's get down to business - you must be wondering why I used this expensive annex as a stage for the game.

   "On this point... First of all, please take a closer look at the cutlery you have at hand."

   Jiang Xia put down the soup bowl that was barely touched, and picked up the knife beside him.

   You can see a circular family crest printed on the handle of the knife. Above is a stupid crow with a large head and belly and a distorted body. It looks a little gloomy in addition to being funny.

  “…”

   If I remember correctly, this should be the family emblem of the boss family.

   It's so tasteless, but the long-standing thing like the family emblem should be designed by the ancestors of the Karasuma family. I hope the current boss's aesthetics can improve...

   Thinking about it, Jiang Xia glanced at Amuro. I don't know if the police found out that the boss is from the Karasuma family...

  Amuro Toru didn't look abnormal, and he didn't have any murderous aura. He was holding the teacup beside him, looking at the bottom—the clan emblem was the largest and clearest engraved there.

   Suddenly aware of the gaze next to him, he put down the cup and looked back in confusion.

  Jiang Xia calmly retracted his gaze: It seems that there is no…

  …

   The smooth-headed plastic "host" paused for a moment, giving the guests time to look at the family crest.

   Later, he said, "This is the family crest of the Karasuma family. You must have heard of Karasuma Renye, the rich man who died mysteriously half a century ago."
