Chapter 447: Toru Amuro’s Horse Racing Progress

 The Siamese in Mrs. Masuo's house seems to be a quite clever cat.

—At this time, it changed its aloof demeanor of refusing to be touched before. When Jiang Xia stretched out his hand, he took the initiative to lean on his hand and let out a "meow~" sound.

 Jiangxia: “…”

Haihara Ai walked to the side at some point.

She bent down and propped up her knees to look at this cat, which was not very pure but quite beautiful. She suggested thoughtfully: "If its owner hadn't contacted the adopter in advance, it might have been given to those cats." An institution with a lot of dogs... If you like it, why not try to adopt it?"

Siam's pointed ears twitched, as if he understood. His tail also rolled over and wrapped around Jiang Xia's wrist very intimately.

Jiang Xia stared at the cat hesitantly for a while, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, I don't have time to raise it." Moreover, the cat's face was too dark, and it felt like it would **** away his European spirit...

Siam rubbed Jiang Xia's tail for a moment, then suddenly stood up and hit him on the leg with a set of meow punches.

 Then he swung his tail and walked away.

Haibara Ai:"…"

This cat has become a spirit?

 It’s quite spiritual…

 Speaking of which, although Jiang Xia doesn’t have time to take care of her, she does have time. The cat doesn't need to wander around, she happens to be at home often...

Haihara Ai picked up the cat that had run away, reached out and touched the furry cat's head, feeling a little moved.

She likes small animals very much. If Jiang Xia also likes small animals, then after having a cat, Jiang Xia can come to her and pet the cat, without having to contact those weird cat-raising ladies...

However, in the end, Huihara Ai still failed to take the cat home.

When the niece of the store manager Masuo heard the news, she came over to help with the matter and took the cat with her.

Haiyuan Ai looked at the back of his niece holding the cat and leaving, and sighed regretfully.

 …

Jiang Xia looked away at the lively cat who played a lot, and quickly looked away.

 He sat down on the chair, shifted his vision to the ghost, and let the ghost float to the archives to see what was going on.

Police Officer Sato just said that the case files related to him have been retrieved and reviewed.

The only person who would be bored enough to do such a thing, apart from the undercover agents sent by the organization to the police, is probably Toru Amuro...

From a time perspective, Jiang Xia thinks it is more likely to be the latter.

From this point of view, Toru Amuro's intuition seems to be quite good. As expected, all of these red players are very good at cheating...

Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.

Since Toru Amuro asked people to re-examine the "cases Jiang Xia was involved in", it means that he may have vaguely smelled a bit of "Uzo" from the frequent murder cases encountered by his employees, so he wanted to check those cases. , are there any traces of the existence of organizational members?

Thus…

 There is nothing to worry about.

 …After all, "Uzo" is not a ruthless behind-the-scenes killer, but just an innocent psychic who follows the red and black parties and works hard to solve the case.

Unless the truth is that Conan has been hiding behind the scenes and planning murders, the cases Jiang Xia has participated in are really just ordinary murders no matter how they are investigated.

 …The only unusual thing is that Jiang Xia did have interactions with some of the deceased or the murderers.

 But most of them have only met a few times.

If it weren't for Gin, who had clearly sent many assassination missions to "Uzo", and then the assassination target was indeed murdered within the deadline, otherwise no one would be able to draw the conclusion based on just those sporadic contacts. Jiang Xia was the driving force behind the murder."

In short, these few contacts may make Amuro suspicious and conduct some testing.

 But it will never make him firmly believe that "Jiangxia = Wuzuo". After all, no matter which way you look at it, the busy high school student detective has nothing to do with the members of the insidious organization hiding in the darkness.

 …

 After leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, Jiang Xia’s life returned to peace.

　　Although Toru Amuro is checking him, it is impossible to get results immediately.

While Jiang Xia continued to pick up cats and give them away, thinking about the invitation letters sent by the reserve prisoners.

On the other side, there are also people who are still thinking about him.

 …

 A few days later.

 Outskirts of Tokyo, in a gloomy castle.

 “Aunt Hongnai.”

Koizumi Hongzi looked haggard and nestled on the crimson bed, holding a hot water bottle in her arms. There was a cup of steaming potion on the bedside table next to her.

Holding her cell phone, she asked the person on the other side of the phone hesitantly: "Is it true that there are no records about monsters in the family's ancient books?"

 “No, there are no monsters in the world. At least there has never been a record of a monster appearing.”

A lazy and soft female voice came from the receiver, with a slightly protracted ending. It was accompanied by the sound of stirring an iron pot, giving people a somewhat mysterious impression.

After Minamoto Kurenai answered Koizumi Anko’s question, she paused for a moment and let out a meaningful chuckle: “If there is one, it will be a perfect specimen that shocks the entire magic world.”

"Specimen..." Koizumi Hongzi frowned, and her hand holding the quilt tightened slightly, causing a few wrinkles in the silk fabric.

She thought of the foggy dog ​​and the feel of his wings that night, and then turned to look at the sturdy cage that the servant had ordered overnight and placed in the corner of her room, and secretly retorted in her heart - she still wanted to live more.

Without waiting for a tactful explanation, another voice came from the other side of the phone—

“I have booked the nearest flight ticket and will arrive at one o’clock in the afternoon.”

Minamoto Kurenai’s voice was soft, but there was a hint of toughness in her tone that was irresistible: “Remember to ask that ugly thing to pick me up at the airport—I’ll try to use you as a medium to divine the whereabouts of that monster first.”

 “Ah? Are you coming over?” Koizumi Hongzi was startled, “But…”

　　Du—Du—

 The phone was hung up.

Minamoto Hongnai was obviously not discussing the itinerary with her, but just giving a notice.

　　Koizumi Hongzi frowned at the phone. To be honest, she just wanted to get her aunt's knowledge for free and then deal with the scary but wanting monster herself. Unexpectedly, I directly attracted my aunt...

However, after all, he is a senior wizard who deserves respect...

Koizumi Hongzi remembered what Minamoto Kurenai said just now, turned to the low servant, and casually told: "Aunt Kurenai will be at the airport at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Remember to pick her up."

Minamoto Kurenai, formerly known as Koizumi Kurenai, is the heir of witchcraft among the previous generation of the Koizumi family. After she got married, she changed her surname and lived abroad all year round.

Magicians can usually accumulate a large amount of magic power, but correspondingly, after using it up, the recovery will become extremely slow.

Koizumi Hongzi is now too weak to even use the magic mirror, but she is worried that the foggy dog ​​will run away if she delays for too long, so she decides to ask her aunt for help.

I just didn’t expect that my aunt would be so interested in monsters.

Koizumi Hongzi sighed, threw her cell phone on the quilt unhappily, then pinched the corner of the quilt and slowly slid into the quilt.
