Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 419 Jiangxia is a good employee

  Conan also heard a strange movement in the carton.

   He came over curiously and looked into the small cardboard box with Ai Haibara.

   I saw a small pile of soil sprinkled in the corner of the box, and a leaf was carefully placed on the soil... Of course, this is not the gift itself, just an accessory.

  ——The real "gift" should be next to the soil, an oval arthropod with a rounded and smooth back and composed of several ring-shaped nail plates.

   seems to have discovered the change of light. Under the gaze of four bright big eyes, the dumb worm in the box stopped scratching the carton, and slowly shook the short tentacles on the top of its head, as if exploring the surroundings.

   After a while, not knowing what it found, it silently curled itself into a ball and turned into a black ball with a cold, hard luster.

  “…”

  Conan silently reached in and poked, and gently moved the mini "chocolate ball" from one end of the carton to the other: "Watermelon bug? What are you doing with it when you have nothing to do..."

"Before it scratched on the edge of my shoe, it looked like it wanted to follow me. I took a closer look and found that it has a neat carapace and a very standard arc when compared with its peers. Destiny."

   Said, Jiang Xia opened the handmade gift box that Hui Yuanai sent, and glanced at the dark chocolate that also had a black luster inside, the more he looked at it, the more it looked like.

   So he raised his hand and touched Hai Yuanai's head: "Now I feel that you are also very related to him, and it just so happens that I don't really know how to keep pets..."

Haibara Ai:"……"

   Her delicate fingers trembled slightly, she was about to speak, she stopped, and she finally sorted out the language and reluctantly said, "Look carefully, it's really cute..."

  ...Go back and find a flower pot and throw it in.

Fortunately, Jiang Xia only caught one, so don't worry about it overbreeding... Speaking of which, although the life force of insects is generally relatively tenacious, they are small in size. Matters...hope to find relevant information.

Conan stood beside him, staring silently at the timid watermelon worm that didn't dare to move. He felt that he had thought too much before - the organization should not have taken the opportunity to attack Jiang Xia, otherwise Jiang Xia would have time to arrest innocent children. animal……

   But Conan remembered that Jiang Xia went out this time because he received a letter of entrustment from Moon Shadow Island.

   And judging from yesterday's news, an explosion just happened on Moon Shadow Island.

  ... When it comes to explosions, it is inevitable to think of the gin that almost destroyed the Shinkansen - Conan always felt that the simple and crude method of killing "explodes" has a very strong gin flavor. Especially in his impression, a few days ago, Gin really took the train to Tottori Prefecture.

Thinking of this, Conan withdrew his gaze from the watermelon worm, made a word, and looked at Jiang Xia, wanting to pretend to be interested in the cases that Jiang Xia encountered along the way, but in fact, he inquired side by side, after leaving the Big Dipper train, did Jiang Xia have any relationship with Jiang Xia? Suspicious men in black like Gin have been in contact.

   But before he could speak, a beeping horn suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

  ——Dr. A Li also found out that Jiang Xia was back.

   At this time, he was driving his little Beetle to the door, and beckoned to Jiang Xia from the car window: "Let's go, go get the cat!"

  Since Jiang Xia got a part-time job at the Amuro Detective Agency, the younger brothers he gathered have started a new business - helping clients find pets.

  In the early days of this business, Jiang Xia used the excuse of "being forced by bad boys to have no boss dare to ask for it, so he had to come to this office near the Metropolitan Police Department to try his luck" when he came to apply for a job. Therefore, in order to prevent innocent younger brothers from coming to the office to send cats to the office, they were mistaken by Amuro for smashing the shop, and then they were collectively sent to the squatting bureau or the juvenile management center... Jiang Xia turned Dr. A Li's house into a cat Temporary storage for dogs.

   Later, although Amuro Toru discovered the truth, he felt that Jiang Xia would try his best to come to him to apply for a job because this talented young man wanted to get a part-time job as a detective within the scope of the organization's permission.

In addition, when An Shitou was too busy, Jiang Xia did a lot of work for him—Jiang Xia was able to start any type of work quickly, and he was very popular with the bosses, and he kept many important part-time jobs for An Shitou. He is really a hard-working and handy employee... So An Shitou finally opened up and did not turn over the old accounts.

   It is precisely because he did not talk to Jiang Xia about this matter, Jiang Xia's cat storage location has not changed, it is still with Dr. A Li.

  Although Dr. A Li lives at home, he also occasionally goes out.

   Usually, if the doctor goes out, the cats will be sent to the Mouri Detective Agency under the disgusting gaze of Kogoro Mouri and the surprise gaze of Mourilan.

   But this time, the Maori family happened to be out too.

  Dr. A Li then put the cat he received into a friend's house for foster care.

  The Detective Boys and Dr. A Li arrived at home last night.

After returning home, the doctor originally wanted to fetch the cat, but he had a new inspiration temporarily. Spent an extra day at a friend's house.

   Now that Jiang Xia is home, we just went to get it together.

   Jiang Xia heard that Dr. A Li said that he had received a lot of cats in the past few days, so he also planned to pick up the cats first.

   He touched the heads of the two children, pressed back the question they were about to blurt out, then re-locked the door that he had just opened, walked out of the yard, and got into Dr. A Li's car.

   Just now, Amuroto sent an email asking him if he was back. If he does, he should go to the detective office.

   - It's better to take the cat with you before you go. After dealing with Amuroto, I will send cats to customers on the spot. It's very efficient.

  …

  The little Beetle drove out a few blocks and stopped in front of an upscale-looking detached house.

   Jiang Xia got out of the car and glanced at the watch at the door.

   was just a habitual glance.

  However, after a few tenths of a second, he turned his gaze back abruptly, and re-examined the wooden door plate carefully.

  On the house number of a single house, usually only the surname is written, but there are also a small number of people who use the full name of the head of the family as the house number.

   The family that keeps cats is the latter.

  ——The name "Dashan Jiang" is engraved on the elegant wooden sign.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

   is a bit familiar.

   Dr. Li is ringing the doorbell.

   Suddenly heard next to him, Jiang Xia asked casually, "Is this Mr. Dashan your friend? Did you know him from school?"

"Yeah, he is a doctor of medicine from Dongdu University. He has ordered a lot of medical products from me, and he is familiar with it." Dr. A Li's eyes briefly changed into the shape of "$", and then changed back again, " He happened to like cats very much, so I entrusted the cat to him."
