Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 64 The Daily Life of Neighbor Kidnapping

   Due to the high concentration of chicken soup, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan were successfully persuaded by Jiang Xia, and they were even a little moved, thinking that Jiang Xia was comforting themselves.

  Suzuki Sonoko gritted his teeth and secretly decided that he would continue his appointments in the future. At the same time, she glanced at Mao Lilan and hugged her best friend’s arm.

  —Xiao Lan’s luck has always been very good, and there must be a time when bad luck will run out. This time, it must be the last time she encounters a corpse.

   I will definitely be able to relax in the future!

  …

  The trip to the villa ended, and the group returned to Tokyo.

  Takahashi Ryoichi’s technique was only used for a small part, but his idea of ​​hiding his head was very clear. After his arrest, the case, unsurprisingly, made the newspapers.

   So Jiang Xia’s collection of newspaper clippings added another case of hiding a head. In addition, he also made a wave of fame in a small area in Kyoto.

   Jiang Xia sorted out the newspaper clippings at the detective office, checked the time, and prepared to go home to find the bad guys to pick up the cat.

   On the way back to the office with the cat, Jiang Xia received a call.

   He picked up the phone, and the caller ID turned out to be Yoko Kinoshita.

   The two of them don’t really have much interaction. After the stalker incident, they only had the contact of sending and receiving albums. But this time, Yoko Kinoshita called him directly… Could it be that there was a murder case?

   It is true that the incident physique of “Miss Yoko” is not very obvious, but it also has some meaning…

   Jiang Xia pressed the answer expectantly.

   Unfortunately, Yoko Kinoshita did not make a request.

   She came to ask Jiang Xia if she was interested in participating in a variety show.

  —Once, Yoko Kinoshita accidentally saw Jiang Xia in a newspaper ordered by a colleague. Since then, she has ordered several more newspapers.

   Every time there is a report of Jiangxia solving a case, Yoko Kinoshita will cut the case for collection. First, when I saw this, I remembered how Jiang Xia threw someone at her house, and felt that it could ward off evil spirits. Second, there is a kind of gratification to watch “the stray teenagers who have been led on the right path by themselves” gradually grow up, commonly known as the pleasure of cloud cultivation.

   After reading more relevant reports, Yoko Kinoshita keenly discovered that Jiang Xia had never avoided interviews, and he did not seem to mind this kind of publicity.

   In this world of detectives, many programs are also related to detectives.

   Kinoshita Yoko asked her agent to help keep an eye on similar activities.

   Although the agent has complicated feelings for Jiang Xia, he did not reject the request of her baby artist, and really found a suitable program.

   Jiang Xia was a little disappointed to hear that it was not a commission.

   But as soon as he heard the name of the show, he thought he could go.

   This variety show is called “Perspective Detective Agency” and will be broadcast live once a week.

  In the past, the show invited some well-known old detectives.

  Jiang Xia wanted to go, but he was still a little short of the heat—although he had encountered many strange cases, the overall number of cases solved was too small, incomparable with the hundreds of cases of other detectives.

   However, where there are people, there is py. Yoko Kinoshita negotiated with the producer that if the producer invited Jiang Xia as a guest, she would be a cameo assistant in the current program.

   The producer just wanted to add some beauty elements to the show to increase the ratings and transform the show. Both sides hit it off.

  Jiangxia does not reject interviews and programs. In his impression, if he wants to participate in some cases, he needs enough popularity.

   And he asked the names of the producers and hosts, and after learning that one was named Suwa Michihiko and the other was Matsuo Takashi, Jiang Xia immediately agreed.

   So the three of them hit it off.

  After the matter was settled, Jiang Xia hung up the phone, thinking that Miss Yoko was indeed a lucky star. The first ghost child came from her, and now, she took the initiative to send him the opportunity to increase his popularity and the case he wanted.

  …

   After deciding to go, Jiang Xia found the video of the previous program of “Perspective Detective Agency” in advance, and figured out the general process and possible problems.

   After more than a month, it’s finally time for the show to air. The live broadcast was selected in the afternoon, so I had to arrive a little earlier.

   On the day of the show, it happened to be winter, and Jiang Xia was forced to throw the clothes that had already been set up in the closet and re-select clothes suitable for winter.

   When choosing a scarf, Xiaobai was lying on the balcony and made a sound that it was not too big to watch the fun.

   Jiang Xia approached curiously, opened the curtain a little, and looked out.

   On the street a few dozen meters away, Conan was wearing a thin home pajamas, facing the cold wind and heavy snow, sticking his head out from the street corner, and was sneaking around here.

  Conan looked at Dr. A Li’s house for a while, and at the number of Jiang Xia’s house for a while, as if hesitating.

   At this moment, Jiang Xia saw a chubby woman approaching from behind Conan.

  The fat woman was dressed in black, with funny short hair, oddly-shaped glasses on the bridge of her nose, and the words “I am a suspicious villain” were written in bold all over her body.

   What she did was also very villainous – the woman took out a handkerchief stained with anesthesia, put it on Conan’s face from the back, turned the person neatly, and then picked him up and left.

  Jiangxia: “…”

   Miyano Akemi’s Q version of the soul let out a thud, and grabbed Jiang Xia’s finger on the windowsill, a little anxious – a child was kidnapped so close to them, and that child seemed to have helped her before.

  Xiaobai was calm, but he looked at the walking posture of the woman in black, and felt vaguely familiar, so he also pulled Jiang Xia’s finger on the other side, trying to confirm with him.

   “It’s fine.” Jiang Xia closed the curtains, went back to the closet, and continued her scarf selection business, ignoring the neighbors who had just been taken away.

   That’s just a little fun inside the neighbor’s house…

  If I remember correctly, the person who captured Conan just now was not a suspicious villain, but Conan’s mother, Yukiko Kudo.
