Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 482 Food Chain in Ghosts

   The skill of Matsuda Jinping's lighting is to fine-tune the explosion time point, so that the explosion time point can be moved forward or backward, within about 3 seconds.

   Compared with the fancy skills of other ghosts, this skill will give people a sense of simplicity at first glance.

   But in a place where potassium cyanide is more common than Jianweixiaoshi tablets, and bombs are more common than fireworks, this new skill is barely practical.

  ...at least it's better than the one-button suicide of the foggy tengu.

   In the distance, the foggy dog ​​is still conscientiously clinging on the arsonist, acting as a locator, not knowing that he has been innocently cued again.

   And the arsonist had also left the car at this time. He was standing by the canal at this time, holding the hostage in his hand, and confronted a group of approaching police.

  ——Just now, although Sato Mikako lost the arsonist, she provided a long tracking route. Based on this information, the Mumu Police Department quickly found someone to call out the surveillance, look for the images left by the arsonist when he drove away, and set up roadblocks where he might pass to stop people.

   In the end, the checkpoint worked, and the arsonist failed to break through the police siege.

  The car could not drive past, so he simply abandoned the car and ran wildly, fleeing indiscriminately.

   Seeing that the policeman behind him could not escape, the escaped arsonist had an idea, and when he turned a corner, he grabbed a person who passed by in front of him, compared the hostage with a knife, and yelled at the policeman:

   "Don't come here!"

  …

When    Jiang Xia came to the scene, what he saw was this scene of confrontation between the two sides.

   Behind the prisoner is a wide canal, and in front of him is a hostage.

   Further out, there is a half circle of policemen, and the people around the police are melon eaters.

   Jiang Xia squirmed from the crowd of melon eaters to the police pile, and then from the police pile to the front row.

   The fog tengu hanging on the arsonist saw him, he was relieved, and quickly flapped his wings and flew back.

   It originally wanted to land on Jiang Xia's shoulder as usual, but after a closer look, he found that there was an unfamiliar ghost there.

   Wu Tiangu's movements were a little stiff, and finally he had to land on Jiang Xia's body on the spot, grabbed it in a random place, then raised his head, and looked at Matsuda Jinping curiously.

   Matsuda Jinhei was looking at the arsonist on the Ferris wheel just now, and he saw the arsonist's car, but he didn't see a ghost hidden in the car.

   At this time, it is also observing the fog tengu.

   Matsuda Jinping first glanced at the wings of the foggy tengu, then turned his head and glanced at the tail of the mermaid next to him. Then he briefly showed the expression of a broken world view, as if wondering that there are monsters in the world... As a policeman who attaches great importance to physical evidence, it was difficult for him to accept it for a while.

   But soon, Matsuda Jinping glanced at himself silently, and swallowed the question again.

   As a ghost, it doesn't seem to be qualified to ask "why are there monsters in the world"...

  …

   Jiang Xia did not notice the strange mental journey of the ghosts.

  ——After moving from the crowd of melon eaters to the police, Jiang Xia's actions were much smoother than before. The density on the police side is much smaller. Most of the police officers who show up here know him, and it is not difficult to get to the front row.

   Soon, Jiang Xia looked over the shoulders of the policeman in the front row and saw the arsonist and the hostage in his hands.

  Unexpectedly, the hostage was a young guy with long hair reaching to his waist and a terrified face.

  ...The arsonist may have rushed across the corner in a panic, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a long-haired figure passing by, thinking it was a weak and easy-to-control woman, so he took him as a hostage. As a result, a man was accidentally caught.

   However, although that long hair is very conspicuous. But at this time, Jiang Xia didn't have time to read more.

  ——His eyes stopped on the hostage, and then he looked at the hostage's legs in surprise.

   This hostage has a lot of murderous aura.

   In addition, there are two shikigami tightly on his legs. The shikigami looks different in years, but they don't seem to be fresh and have been generated for a while.

   Jiang Xia carefully looked at the long-haired hostage, and then glanced at the travel bag he was holding.

After   , his eyes swept around among the melon-eating crowd, and paused for a moment on a woman who was surrounded by murderous aura, and suddenly remembered the identity of the hostage.

  ——In Jiang Xia's "Case Impression Library", there was a stalker named "Nagai Tatsuya".

  Nagai Tatsuya has recently been eyeing a woman named Saitani Saori. Nishiya Saori quickly discovered his behavior. After hesitating for a while, he chose to resign and move in fear, and fled all the way from Yokohama to Tokyo.

  However, the peaceful life did not last long, and Nagai Tatsuya soon followed him - his family was well-off, he could live well without work, and it was no problem to chase people to move.

   Nishiya Saori was harassed for a long time, almost collapsed, and finally chose to call the police.

After being reminded by the police, Tatsuya Nagai became furious. He prepared a bag of tools and planned to sneak into Saitani's house and kill the woman.

   At the same time, Saitani Saori also sensed the killing intent from the stalker—she was riding the subway a few days ago, and was suddenly pushed from behind when she went downstairs. She rolled to the bottom, raised her head with difficulty, and saw Tatsuya Nagai standing on the stairs with terrifying eyes.

   Since the previous alarm was useless, it made Nagai Tatsuya even worse. Nishiya Saori finally did as the locals do, gritted his teeth and thought of another way - to kill this terrifying man.

   Thinking of this, Jiang Xia glanced at the long-haired hostage by the river again. Let the ghost get into the bag the hostage is carrying, and take a look at what is inside.

  Fog Tengu flew over and flew back, and soon brought the answer.

  ——The hostage's bag contains some lockpicking tools, in addition to gloves, knives, hemp ropes and other common tools for crime.

   Jiang Xia nodded secretly. It seems that it's really the "Nagai Tatsuya"... I'm so lucky, it just happened that I just burned a lot of murderous energy today, and I need to replenish it urgently.

   It's a pity that there are more policemen and people around here. However, as long as Nagai Tatsuya doesn't commit suicide or leak his mouth, it will not be difficult for him to leave the police as soon as possible after he is rescued.

By the time……

   Jiang Xia was thinking a little expectantly.

   At this moment, the murderous aura by the river suddenly swelled, causing him to narrow his eyes.

   Jiang Xia came back to his senses and looked at the riverside doubtfully. It took him a second to distinguish the arsonist and the hostage Nagai Tatsuya who were sticking together, and finally determined that the source of the sudden expansion of murderousness was the arsonist in the rear.

  ——The arsonist glanced quickly at the canal behind him.

   Then he held the hostage with a knife in one hand, and reached into the wide satchel with the other hand, holding a lead bomb, his eyes flashing.

  “…”

   Jiang Xia looked at the arsonist's subtle movements, and his sudden murderous aura, and suddenly had a guess about what this person wanted to do.
