Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 760 Entering the Room

  Jiang Xia: "..." The new cat vest, everything else is good, but it has too many legs and a tail hanging down, so I'm not used to walking...

   He quickly got up, shook his hair, and looked at the onlookers.

   After a while, he slowly turned his head again and glanced at the ghost mint placed beside the pillow.

  “…”

   thumped and laughed until the rolling mermaid noticed the direction of his gaze and froze slightly.

   Soon, she got up nonchalantly, swam to the side and played with the murderous scroll, pretending that she didn't do anything just now.

   The other ghosts immediately switched to serious expressions. Some of those with poor acting skills were caught by other clever ghosts and quickly fled the scene.

  “…”

   drove away the onlookers, and the surroundings finally became clean.

   Jiang Xia recalled how the cats usually walked, tried a few times, and gradually got used to it.

   Not long after, he successfully arrived at the place where the mirror was, jumped up and hooked the edge of the sink, and climbed up, moving fairly briskly.

  ...It's not difficult to drive a cat.

   Jiang Xia nodded secretly, satisfied with his learning ability.

  He raised his head, a black cat was reflected in the mirror, and its four white claws were lined by the same color wall, which was not very conspicuous, and looked like it was floating in the air.

   Jiang Xia looked at the mirror for a moment, raised her paw and pressed her ears. The pointy cat ears were bent down and snapped back quickly.

  "..." It feels good. Although essentially puppet clay. But there is a cat ghost bonus, at this time, no matter where you look, this is a normal handsome cat.

   Among all the current vests, this cat should be the most low-key one. Driving it on the street is definitely more low-key than opening Matsuda Jinping - after all, although neither of them can see the tattoo, Matsuda Jinping's puppet, after all, is a person, or a man in black who doesn't seem to get along well , it is easy to attract the attention of all parties.

  …

  Jiang Xia paced in front of the mirror and turned around a few times. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

   He turned around, jumped on the windowsill softly and silently, and jumped over from the second floor. Then go through the gap between the railings and go straight to Dr. Agasa's house.

   It's rare to find a new vest, and it won't reveal any secrets... Drive it out for others to see, and recognize your face by the way.

   It is already late at night, Dr. A Li, a middle-aged and elderly person, must have fallen asleep.

   But according to the usual practice, Haibara Ai should still rely on her youth and thick hair to experiment all night in the basement.

  …

  Dr. A Li's house, the windows on the second floor were not closed.

   Jiang Xia was possessed in the cat vest, took a little effort to climb up to the windowsill, and took a short rest.

   Then it pushed open the half-closed window, jumped into the house, and headed straight for the basement, one of the places where Haibara Ai stayed up all night.

  But when I reached the stairs, I looked down and saw that there was no light coming from the crack of the basement door, as if no one was there.

  "..." Went to the door and listened to the door for a while, Jiang Xia was sure - there was no sound of typing on the keyboard, let alone making coffee or yawning, there was really no one.

   After thinking for a moment, he turned upstairs and trotted all the way into the bedroom.

   jumped up and grabbed the edge of the bed, looking at the bed, in the darkness, Hui Yuanai was wrapped in a quilt, sleeping soundly.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

   Night owls don't stay up late, but today...

   But after thinking about it, during the day, Haibara Ai followed them outside for a day. And last night, because of a curly-haired black-clothed man who passed by her door, she almost didn't sleep all night... Today's work and rest suddenly became normal, and it seems not incomprehensible.

  "..." Apart from Haibara Ai, there are no other suitable and interesting people nearby - the Maori family is not too far away, but at this point, they must have already slept. The only ones who are still awake are probably Belmod, Gin, and Bourbon... So, the organization is all a group of night owls, but these people are erratic, and they are all busy for various reasons, not easy to catch.

   Various figures flashed in Jiang Xia's mind, and then he marked X again.

   Finally he raised his head and sighed faintly at the lonely night outside the window. Jinyi night walk, but so...

   Come back tomorrow morning.

   He reluctantly leaned on the edge of the bed and watched for a while, making sure that Haibara Ai was really asleep, not planning to take a nap and then wake up to stay up late, and regretfully drove away in the only new vest that could see the light.

  …

the next morning.

   Jiang Xia, who was also up late, opened his eyes slightly sleepy.

   But although the main body is sleepy, the puppet will not be sleepy. Yesterday's plan to open a cat and walk around can still be implemented.

   He quickly summoned some shikigami, made them pile up and condensed, and then touched the pillow with half-closed eyes, caught the smallest ghost with precision, and threw it into the clay.

   A black cat soon appeared beside the bed.

   Before going out. Jiang Xia thought about it for a while, but did not immediately put the body into the cat, but first pressed down the cat's vest, and printed a "Z" pattern on its front paw pads with a hard-to-fading pen.

  Haihara Ai is usually quiet and looks very well-behaved. But when I do something, I like to do something big. Moreover, she is an "anonymous member of the periphery of an anonymous organization" that she has casually admitted... In addition to the fake Wuzuo's anonymous identity, which can be covered for a while, other vests that conform to scientific laws can be recognized by her, so as to avoid information in critical moments failure to bring trouble.

  The structure of the cat's mouth is not suitable for human speech.

   Want to show the cat's identity, the most convenient, really is this unique "Z" mark.

After    finished painting carefully, Jiang Xia glanced at it with admiration.

After the handwriting    was completely dry, he threw his body on the bed and attached himself to the cat puppet. I got used to being a cat a little bit.

   Then he skillfully climbed out the window and trotted to the next door.

  …

   Dr. Ali's house.

  The elderly Dr. A Li got up first.

   He stretched out the door, and when he passed the living room, he suddenly felt something moved in the corner of his eye.

  “…?”

   Dr. A Li was startled, turned his head to look, and found a black cat lying on the sofa.

   Seeing him looking over, the tip of the black cat's tail was slightly raised, as if to say hello or to attract the attention of passersby.

   Looking at each other for two seconds, Dr. A Li couldn't help but walk over.

   Then he picked up the cat skillfully and walked all the way to the entrance—there were quite a few cat cages, and some of them were empty.

   He put the newly picked up cat into one of the vacant cages and muttered, "How did it escape..."

   Halfway through his words, he found that the black cat looked up at him with a complicated expression.

   "...Huh?" Dr. A Li touched the top of his half-bald head, suspecting that he had read it wrong: how can cats have such rich emotions.

  ...It should be just a coincidence, for example, this cat is born with a look of hesitating to speak.
