Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 735 Why is it Valentine's Day again?

   However, Haibara Ai looked at the past vigilantly and found that it was different from what she imagined.

  The person at the gate of the courtyard was not a suspicious man in black, but a young girl in a beige trench coat. Hearing the sound of the iron mailbox, she was also startled. Before Jiang Xia could speak, she jumped out and fled the scene.

   When Jiang Xia and Hai Yuanai walked to the gate of the courtyard, the figure had fled far away and quickly disappeared around the corner.

   "...?" Jiang Xia looked at the back that was not murderous and had no ghosts hanging on his calf. He was puzzled for a while, and then he remembered it. He has always had a good memory. "It's a colleague I met when I was working in Hamburger House... The employee registration form there needs to fill in the address. She is the senior who brought us to fill out the form, and it should be the address that she remembered at that time."

Haibara Ai:"……"

   She took out the handkerchief and secretly wiped off the cold sweat she had frightened just now. At the same time, she gave Jiang Xia a disapproving look: Jiang Xia works in an organization, her identity is inherently sensitive, and she is a public figure, so it is safer to fill in a fake address. Or at least fill in the work address, like that detective agency. Otherwise, in case of bad people...

  Wait, Jiang Xia's organization seems to be all bad guys. He probably isn't afraid of this...

   As she thought about it, Haibara Ai looked at the mailbox next to her with a slightly speechless gaze. When the girl was wandering outside the door just now, Haibara Ai vaguely saw her fiddling with it, as if she had dropped something.

  …

   Soon, Haibara Ai walked out of the yard, squatted down, and picked up a gift box from the ground.

   The box is two palm-sized, light pink packaging, and golden ribbons are crisscrossed. The girl just now seemed to want to put it in the letterbox, but the letterbox was full, and there was no place for the top of the letterbox. In the end, the flat gift box could only fall to the ground.

   Combine today's day and think about what happened just now.

  Haihara Ai suddenly understood: "Today is Valentine's Day... I wanted to make chocolate in the morning, but something happened last night and I forgot to do it."

   Jiang Xia: "...?"

   He took out his phone and turned it on, glanced at the date, and realized that it was Valentine's Day again. It's really time like water. What about the various other festivals in between? That should be the peak period of cases...

   Jiang Xia sighed sadly and looked at the pile of chocolates at the door.

   These were secretly released after 0:00. The gift-givers were probably a group of girls or women who were not murderous. They stayed at the door and left. I didn't enter the house, so the ghosts didn't notice it, maybe they found it, but I didn't think it was necessary to say it.

If things go on like this, on the next Valentine's Day, you have to put up a sign at the door of your house in advance, stating that you don't accept chocolate here. Grab a coolie who helps move chocolate bricks.

  …

  Chocolate can’t always be piled up at the door and in the letterbox.

  Haihara Ai helped Jiang Xia to move the chocolates in front of the house into the house. In addition, considering that it was only early in the morning, Valentine's Day had not fully begun. Together with Jiang Xia, she made a small sign indicating where to store the chocolate, taped it on the door, and glued it firmly.

   Instinctively helping to finish the work, Haibara Aicai remembered the previous business again.

   She wanted to inquire about the situation of the man in black last night.

   However, just after opening his mouth, there was movement at the gate.

   - This time, it was not the sound of the letterbox lid opening and closing, but the doorbell being rang.

   It was an acquaintance.

   While ringing the doorbell, he stepped on the door and tried the door. Finding that the door was unlocked, he consciously pushed the door and entered.

  Ai Haibara silently looked at Conan who was approaching: "..."

  Conan glanced at her suspiciously, and then at Jiang Xia. For some reason, he felt that he had come at the wrong time.

   He looked at Hai Yuanai's children's clothes in surprise, thinking that she was here to show Jiang Xia her new clothes, so he politely praised: "You look good today."

  “…”

   One second later.

   For some reason, Haibara Ai pressed the fluffy skirt, and her eyes became more fierce.

  Conan: "...?"

   He touched the back of his head suspiciously, feeling that the woman's mind was very hard to guess. So just don't guess.

  Conan looked at Jiang Xia, with a hint of embarrassment in his solemn expression: "Well, are you free today?"

   "Yes." Jiang Xia nodded quickly.

  Conan glanced at him with a slightly moved look: Jiang Xia is obviously about to go out in this outfit now. But it should be that he found out that he needed help with something, so he immediately said that he was free... Jiang Xia is really interesting to his friends.

Haibara Ai, who was next to him, also secretly pricked up his ears: Conan still has some serious business occasionally, and his incident physique is also very strong, and he always encounters things related to the organization... Now he suddenly finds it, could it be the same as last night? about the men in black?

Haibara Ai pinched her chin and fell into contemplation: If the man in black knew that Haibara Ai = Shirley, then after mastering the extremely important information that "adults can become smaller", he would like to speculate that "Kudou Shinichi = Conan" "In fact, it's not difficult, it just depends on whether he usually pays attention to those high school detectives.

   Under the gaze of Jiang Xia and Haibara Ai.

  Conan's expression was tangled, he stopped talking for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "That's it-Last night, Xiaolan was in the kitchen and made some handmade chocolates."

The keyword    "last night" immediately aroused Ai Haibara's vigilance.

She nodded, ready to continue listening - could it be that Maurilan ran out of materials while making chocolate, so she went to the 24-hour convenience store with Conan to buy it, and just happened to meet the mysterious black-clothed man with a sense of organization. man?

  …but, wait. In Conan's eyes, Jiang Xia seems to have nothing to do with the Black Organization. Hai Yuanai frowned, feeling that she had guessed where things were going, but at the same time she felt something was wrong.

   Then she heard Conan lowered his voice and said solemnly:

"To make chocolates on Valentine's Eve, she must be planning to give them away, but when I asked, she actually said that it wasn't for 'Kudou Shinichi'. So I, ahem, used a little technology again..." Conan guiltily He fiddled with the voice changer bow in his pocket, "Go to Sonoko to inquire about the situation - and then learned that they are going to attend a sorority held by someone else on Valentine's Day. Chocolate is for that."

Haibara Ai:"……?"

……That's it?

  "..." She remembered her speculation just now, and felt that things shouldn't be so simple, because Conan's face looked really serious.

  Haihara Ai reluctantly confirmed: "Then what?"
