Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 40 Hardworking and Good Employees

   Jiang Xia was on his way to Marudenjiro’s house when the phone suddenly rang.

   Judging from the ringtone, it was the organization-specific machine.

   Jiang Xia found a place to stop his motorcycle and answered the phone.

  The voice of gin came from the receiver: “Go to the enjyu city hotel in Cupido-cho immediately. There may be 1 billion in cash deposited at the front desk. Bring that money out and wait for me at the clock tower in the west district.”

   After throwing the task, he hung up the phone.

   Jiang Xia: “…”

   He stared at the phone for a few seconds speechlessly, turned the car around, and went to the hotel that Gin said.

   When he was at the intersection just now, Xiaobai suddenly wiped the corner of his mouth and said with joy that he felt the smell of gin.

  Jiang Xia moved his fingers, and wanted to shove up a little habitually, but after checking the road conditions, he gave up again—it was a little far away, and Jinjiu was sitting in the car.

   Thinking about it now, maybe just now, Gin also saw him, so he found a tool person nearby. Just like some teachers will grab passing classmates to help move things.

   On the way to the hotel, Jiang Xia remembered the keyword “billion in cash” and probably understood the current situation.

   In his memory, the only incident that could be related to the organization, the hotel, and one billion yuan at the same time was the robbery of Miyano Akemi.

  ——After Miyano Akemi grabbed one billion yuan, she planned to use the money to exchange her sister with the organization.

   But she was worried that the organization would go back on its word. When she went to the transaction location, she did not bring the money, but kept the money in the hotel where she stayed.

  Gin may have anticipated Miyano Akemi’s choice, or maybe she was on the way to monitor Miyano Akemi and found that she didn’t bring so much cash, so she made a guess that the cash was still in the hotel.

  …

   Stealing a suitcase from a hotel does not seem to be difficult.

   But Jiang Xia remembered that Miyano Akimi used Conan’s power to retrieve the billion yen swept away by her accomplices.

   With Conan mixed in, the ordinary “stealing money” mission has become a time-limited nightmare-level mission of “stealing money before the police arrive and not exposing yourself throughout the process”.

  Once you are caught by the police or expose your crime, you may be silenced by gin.

  If you die in the hands of Gin… then you can only take away Gin’s body.

   But compared to gin, Jiang Xia still prefers a young body that is closer to his age. And Gin is too busy, and a bunch of work is on his shoulders. If you replace it with yourself…I feel worried when I think about it.

   But fortunately, although the hotel has installed a lot of surveillance cameras, stealing money and not exposing himself is not too difficult for a psychic.

   Jiang Xia quickly arrived at the enjyu city hotel.

   But instead of going in, he went into a nearby cafe, ordered a coke, and picked a seat close to the bathroom.

   After confirming that there was no one in the bathroom, a few pieces of Shikigami flew out from under Jiang Xia’s feet and slipped in along the crack of the door.

  Xiaobai also squirmed through the door, piled up with the shikigami, and gathered into a little boy puppet in the bathroom.

   Outside, Jiang Xia opened a magazine and put it in front of him, putting his body in a posture of looking down at the book.

   Then consciousness moved into the puppet.

  The clothes on the puppet are generated according to the preferences of the filling ghost.

  Jiangxia can make some adjustments to the clothes, and the specific adjustment range is linked to the number of paper gods.

   Jiang Xia extended the puppet’s collar, raised it to cover his neck, and messed up the original hairstyle.

   After erasing the more obvious features, he pushed open the window, followed the bathroom window, and climbed outside the house.

   This body is very small.

   But Jiang Xia moved the power of his body. At this time, his strength far surpassed that of ordinary children.

   Jiang Xia ran to the place where he parked his motorcycle, and took out a few things from under the seat—put what could fit in his pocket, put it in his pocket, and if he couldn’t, lift up his clothes, hid the things in front of his stomach, and put them in his pockets.

After   , he ran to the cargo aisle at the back of the hotel and bumped into a cargo truck that had unloaded and was about to leave.

  The driver looked at the child lying in front of the car, his face turned pale, and ran down to check the situation.

   Jiang Xia took the opportunity to knock people unconscious, drag them away and hide them.

After    grabbed the car used to carry the cash, Jiang Xia slipped into the hotel lobby and placed bombs and detonated them in several places that had been observed in advance.

   In the evening, there are many guests dining in the hotel lobby. There was a sudden explosion, and the hall was in chaos.

   The clerk at the front desk hurriedly locked the cash cabinet, evacuated people and ran for their lives, and the back of the counter suddenly came out empty.

   Jiang Xia pressed the brim of his hat, sneaked into the counter, and looked up at the huge luggage locker.

   There are not many luggage stored here, and most of the guests prefer to leave their luggage in the guest room instead of the counter.

   Jiang Xia glanced and quickly found three suitcases of the same style.

   He pulled one down with force, opened a slit, glanced in through the slit, and found that it was full of money.

After confirming that it was correct, Jiang Xia took some effort and moved the three suitcases taller than him to a trolley.

Before    pushed the car away, Jiang Xia thought for a moment, then picked up a large handbag next to him.

   He emptied the contents to the ground, threw the empty bag on the trolley, pushed the trolley, and left in a low-key manner.

   The freight truck that we grabbed just now is still parked in place.

  Jiang Xia threw the money and bag on it, climbed into the car himself, and caught fire.

  This puppet is too short to drive.

   Jiang Xia took the road with few people and drove the car on a rampage to a nearby place where no one was around.

   Parked the car, he kept the puppet, and his consciousness quickly returned to the body.

   The main body stood up and left the cafe after paying the bill.

  Jiang Xia ran down the alley for a while, wearing a hat, mask and gloves along the way. He rushed to the parking spot and took over the car and money that the puppet had just stolen.

   After getting into the car, Jiang Xia grabbed the puppet on the co-pilot, stuffed it into the large handbag he had just passed along, then zipped up the zipper, turned the bag over the seat, and threw it to the back row.

   After everything was done, Jiang Xia drove the car to the place Jinjiu said.

   At the same time, he ordered a ghost mint to replenish his energy – it was very tiring to run around with a puppet.

  Spoilers ahead: The whole book does not change the main body.
