Chapter 24 Young man, you are possessed

　　When Jiang Xia left the police station.

The ghost baby dragged a leg-striking shikigami that was about the same size as itself and ran to Jiang Xia's side.

—The curator was arrested, and the resentment of the leg-picking **** dissipated a lot, and he was able to pull it completely from the leg.

Jiang Xia walked out of the police station and turned into a small street.

While there was no one around, he bent down and picked up the ghost baby and the shikigami.

 As the curator entered the situation, Shikigami's obsession dissipated.

Now, it is just a paper **** with no emotions.

  Collecting shikigami doesn’t have to be as troublesome as collecting ghost fetuses.

Jiang Xia pricked her fingertip and pressed the blood droplet on it.

A trace of blood was printed on Shikigami's body. The blood red quickly turned to black, and finally rotated and solidified into a floral Z logo.

Jiang Xia picked up the newly acquired ghost, looked at it for a while, and then put it into the tattoo space in his heart.

The ghost fetus is there, the murderous intention is there, and the shikigami is there.

Although they are very few. But coming from nothing is a qualitative change and a breakthrough.

Jiang Xia let out a breath of mist, raised the collar of his windbreaker, and walked expressionlessly on the cold streets, feeling that the future was bright.

—After being in this world for so long, I finally look like a psychic.

 …

Jiang Xia originally thought that it would take a while for another leg-scratching shikigami, which lacked evidence, to have results.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up the next day, he was struggling with whether he should go to class or work in the office.

The Metropolitan Police called him and told him that the murder case he received from the detective next door had come to a conclusion - the police had found evidence.

After listening to this, Jiang Xia put down the phone happily.

 Boss Amuro is really easy to use.

 …

With this matter, Jiang Xia no longer has to worry about today’s itinerary.

 He went straight to the police station to deal with the follow-up of the case.

At the Metropolitan Police Department, Jiang Xia released the ghost baby as usual and let it wander around to see if there was any extra murderous aura or shikigami.

 He himself found a bench to sit down on and looked to the side.

There was an acquaintance sitting there.

 —The detective next door who provided clues about the murder also came.

 …

 The two of them finished writing the notes.

While the police officers were sorting out the signature materials, the detective next door looked at Jiang Xia and shook the newspaper in his hand at him.

 Then he laughed amidst the clattering paper and said, "It seems that I will soon have a famous detective neighbor."

Jiang Xia: "Famous detective?"

He turned around and saw a huge photo in the newspaper - the person on it was himself.

 The background is yesterday’s medieval pavilion.

 Last night, when Jiang Xia was blocked by reporters at the entrance of the exhibition hall, he didn’t say much because he was not proficient in business.

 But the curator next to him was very talkative. The police did not stop the old curator: In this world, there is no confidentiality in cases.

The curator looked at the camera at that time, thought for a moment, and then praised Jiang Xia fiercely.

 Perhaps he suddenly realized that the stronger his opponent, the less embarrassing he would lose.

 …

 In addition, in addition to the curator, the little girl in the kidnapping case happened to be playing nearby with her father last night. After the father and daughter encountered this incident by chance, they joined in the fun and told the touching story of Jiang Xia's rescue of the hostages. They were immediately swarmed by many reporters, asking for details.

 Coupled with the fact that some well-informed media found out that Jiang Xia was a classmate of Kudo Shinichi.

 Just as it happens, recently, there has been no news about Kudo Shinichi, who has been in the newspapers frequently, and there are even rumors that he has been killed.

So there are gimmicks.

—Two high school detectives appeared one after another, and they happened to be in the same class.

This kind of coincidence is enough for the media to cover several pages out of thin air.

 Jiangxia: “…”

He took the newspaper from the enthusiastic detective next door and read it with a little speechlessness. He felt that the media in this world were really imaginative.

However, although it was arranged by the media. But if you want to increase your reputation in a short period of time, receive more commissions, and then come into contact with more people who may become ghosts after death... you need a certain degree of topicality.

Jiang Xia is different from other high school detectives.

 He does not have the qualifications to pile up hundreds of cases.

And gimmicks like "Kudo Shinichi is possessed by the dead soul" can be like the detective who "will suddenly fall asleep at the crime scene and start reasoning". Because of its uniqueness, Jiang Xia quickly became a household name.

  “…” In short, it is complicated and the mood is complicated.

Jiang Xia finished reading and silently returned the newspaper.

Then he pretended to straighten his trousers and leaned over to pick up the ghost baby that ran over and the leg-scratching shikigami it brought back.

 …

After finishing the transcript, before leaving, the police officer brought two envelopes and gave them a special bonus.

It is said that in the case received by the detective next door, the deceased was dumped in a ceremony and the body was burned in public. There were many witnesses and the impact was huge. Therefore, it is worthy of commendation if it is successfully cracked.

Jiang Xia was silent for a moment after hearing this reason.

　　When he took the envelope, he touched the rough brown paper and always felt that the money smelled like a salary thief.

 …

A week later, as expected, the case of corpse burning at the ceremony also appeared in the newspapers.

Jiang Xia looked at her picture in the newspaper, thought about it, bought a few newspapers and a brochure.

 After returning home, he cut out all the deeds with his name and pasted them one by one in the book.

I heard that in this world, many celebrities have the habit of dragging famous detectives along and asking to hear stories about solving crimes.

 So Jiang Xia plans to make such a collection first.

If someone asks in the future, just hand it over and let them look at it themselves.

In addition, this group of reporters have good photography skills and the photos they took are pretty good-looking.

 …

 The next day, Jiang Xia got up and checked the school schedule.

 There is no exam today.

So Jiangxia Shutan’s pigeon dropped out of class.

 He ​​carried a kettle and gardening shears and took care of the potted plants at home and the plants grown in the yard—these are all raw materials that can be used in ghost mint.

During the pruning process, Jiang Xia picked off the ripe fruits and leaves, cut them into pieces of suitable size, and spread them out in the basement to dry in the shade.

 Those that have been dried before are taken to the living room, rolled into homemade cigarettes, and then packed in sealed boxes. This is a very skilled process.

After finishing it, Jiang Xia looked at the time and found that it was not yet noon.

So he picked up a cage of cats and planned to go to the detective office to sit and wait for the guests to come.
