Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 747 Cooked Cat

  Conan: "..." How did Jiang Xia's event physique suddenly become so strong? In his impression, there have never been too many murders around him before.

After thinking for a moment, an idea suddenly popped into Conan's mind-he remembered what older people like to say, "Those who have experienced a near-death state will open the door to 'that world' and be entangled by resentful spirits. " and so on.

   The cold hairs on his back instinctively stood up one by one. But soon, Conan silently knocked on his head.

  ...what do you think, you have to believe in science.

   And even if there is really a ghost... Jiang Xia's death was more than a year ago, but he suddenly became involved in a case, but it was after Kudo Shinichi was tragically brought down by the black organization a while ago.

   Thinking of this, Conan just got back on track, but he couldn't help but swerve. He remembered the nonsense reports of "Kudou Shinichi died unexpectedly, and the soul of his classmate was unwilling to be possessed" when Jiang Xia first became famous.

   "..." So, superstition is really bad. Isn't Kudo Shinichi still alive and well?

  Conan lowered his head, looked at himself in shock, and at the same time looked at Jiang Xia subconsciously.

   Then he was slightly startled, and found that Jiang Xia looked a little weird, as if he was surprised by something.

  "?" Conan was a little puzzled, and looked around carefully again.

   At this point, they were already close to the tree.

  Conan cocked his nose and sniffed. So close, there is indeed a faint smell of being close to the corpse, but it is very light, and it is a bit like an illusion.

  "..." In the current weather, whether it is meat or corpse, it will not rot too quickly, and the taste is mild and normal. Speaking of which, where is the thing that smells?

  …

   Jiang Xia raised his head and looked at the tree above him.

  Haihara Ai sensed his movement, followed Jiang Xia's line of sight and looked up.

   There are many branches on the top of the head, occasionally there are a few scattered dead leaves, and there is nothing resembling a "corpse". Hai Yuanai also sniffed, but it may be that the wind is a little stronger than before, and she didn't smell anything.

   was watching seriously, when suddenly the branches shook violently.

  Haihara was stunned for a moment, then looked away, and found that Jiang Xia suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the tree trunk that grew above him while no one else was around.

   tried shaking it and found that it was still sturdy. With a little force, Jiang Xia turned over and stepped on the sturdy tree trunk. Then climbed up a bit again.

   Soon he stopped, his eyes fell on a clump of branches, and his gaze stopped a little.

   A pale color appeared in front of him.

  ——There was a cat lying there.

  The cat's body did not rise and fall, it was no longer breathing, and 80% of it was dead.

   And judging from the words on the collar and the color of its coat, this seems to be a cooked cat... It's not the kind of "cooked" that has been boiled, but it seems to have been seen somewhere before.

   As I was thinking, something vaguely moved between the cat's chin and the rough tree trunk.

   It flashed from the corner of the eye, and Jiang Xia immediately noticed the clue.

   He found the thin gloves in his pocket and put them on, carefully holding the cat up a little.

  The translucent thing suddenly shrank sharply, swooped out from the side away from Jiang Xia, and jumped off the tree trunk.

  The mermaid was just floating over there to watch, and when she found something fell, she instinctively grabbed it and held it in her hand.

   looked at it curiously, and after seeing it clearly, the corner of the mermaid's eyes jumped and threw it aside in disgust.

  Fog Tengu caught the ball as if he was passing it, and also carried it, looking at it curiously.

   Soon, remembering that the psychic master seemed to be very interested in this ghostly thing, Wu Tiangou flapped his wings and flew closer to Jiangxia.

  …

   Jiang Xia quickly saw this strange new ghost.

   Judging from the nature of the feeling...it really looks like a ghost.

   A normal ghost child, usually the size of two slaps together. Xiaobai is smaller than the other ghosts.

   However, this time the ghost is even smaller than Xiaobai, and it looks like the size of a coin. And looking at the appearance, it turned out to be completely a cat.

   Jiang Xia: "...?"

   Animals can also become ghosts?

  ...It was the first time he saw him.

   The new cat ghost is very energetic. After being caught, he was stunned for a while, and then he began to struggle bravely.

Suddenly, the foggy dog ​​jumped on its back and grabbed it, and turned a little embarrassed in the air a few times. After dizzying the cat, he grabbed it again, and stretched his hand away to keep the dangerous cat away from his wings. .

After   , Wutiangou sighed while holding the cat, and looked at Jiang Xia, hoping that Jiang Xia would pick up the cat as soon as possible.

  Jiang Xia observed for a moment, then, relying on the trees below, he stretched out his hand to the foggy dog.

  The scratching of people by ghosts is actually not very harmful. If it wasn't for the psychic who is very sensitive in this aspect, an ordinary person might not be able to feel anything at all - in the past, a mermaid was so big, and biting him would only be a little itchy at most, but now this cat is not that big. hinder.

   Jiang Xia was ready to be scratched and stretched out his hand.

   However, as his hand approached, the cat froze for a moment, and withdrew its paws, looking up at him with its head raised. It was completely different from the attitude when facing the mermaid and the fog tengu just now.

   After a while, it seemed to smell something like the "boss's breath" or "meal ticket breath". It actually calmed down knowingly about the current affairs. When Jiang Xia's hand was close to it, he stretched out his head and rubbed it flatteringly.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

   This familiar dog-leg feeling... Sure enough, it was the Siamese from Masuo-san's house.

  ——In my impression, a while ago, Governor Masuo and his accomplices cooperated with each other and robbed his own branch.

Mrs. Masuo, who is nearly 20 years younger than President Masuo, found out that something was wrong and was going to the bank to identify her husband, but was silenced by President Masuo in advance - and before that, Mrs. Masuo was actually a frequent visitor to entrust Jiang Xia to find cats. . Her cat is a quirky Siamese.

   Masuo's family has no children. After the incident, Mrs. Masuo died, and Mr. Masuo was imprisoned. No one had the conditions to keep a cat. At that time, this Siamese didn't know whether it smelled lonely or widowed. When Huiyuan Ai suggested to Jiang Xia that "if you like cats, you might as well try to adopt them".

   But at that time, Jiang Xia didn't raise him. The cat then punched his leg, meowed angrily, and left.

   Later, the cat was taken up and adopted by the niece of Governor Masuo... and then, somehow, unfortunately died in this park.

  "..." I thought it was very human before, maybe it was because my IQ was too high, so I had a chance to become a ghost?

   Jiang Xia stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the cat's head.

   However, the cat ghost is too small. In the end he could only poke the whole thing regretfully.
