Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 5: I'm so envious. No, it's too much.

Chapter 5 I’m so envious... No, it’s too much

 Jiangxia: “…”

 He froze for a second, then he reached out his hand across the boundary and poked the ghost.

 …The stinging pain hit me instantly, and my fingertips seemed to have rolled around in a pile of needles.

Jiang Xia's eyes twitched and she quickly retracted her hand.

 …more powerful than he thought.

 Plan A: Take it away by force first, then take it home and slowly transform it. You can put an "X" at the end.

“…” I just chose to leave Kinoshita Yoko’s contact information, and it turned out to be the right thing to do…

 Kinoshita Yoko was also startled.

 She couldn't see the ghost fetus, so in her eyes, Jiang Xia's actions were... somewhat offensive.

  Normally, it is not possible to shake hands and hold someone else's wrist.

However, as an actor who is good at figuring out expressions, she also saw Jiang Xia's expression of resistance when he retracted his hands - he didn't seem to like it either.

“…” Yoko Kinoshita has been reading too many literary scripts recently, and after being stunned, she came up with a bunch of strange mental journeys in her mind.

For example: In order to be a "bad boy", he deliberately teases a good idol, but at the same time he dislikes this kind of behavior, so he quickly withdraws his hand in disgust...

 In short, he is a lost teenager who repeatedly jumps on the edge of depravity.

Seeing that Jiang Xia was about to leave at this time, Kinoshita Yoko didn't have time to think too much. He stretched out his hand and pulled the person back.

 In order to successfully catch the person, Kinoshita Yoko stretched his hand very far out.

Jiang Xia was pulled around by her, and the ghost baby that had not crawled far happened to cover the back of his hand.

 …It feels like a pot of boiling water has been poured on it. Jiang Xia's ears buzzed with pain, and he suppressed his expression.

 Fortunately, the ghost baby didn't like this kind of contact either, so he quickly crawled away cursing.

 The pain suddenly subsides.

 Kinoshita Yoko knew nothing about what was happening in front of him.

 She fumbled from the armrest box, grabbed a handful of colorful crystal candies, and put them into Jiang Xia's palm.

Then she patted him on the arm as if coaxing a younger brother, poured a bowl of chicken soup, and said warmly: "Go, don't force yourself to be a bad boy anymore - detective is a good job, and you will definitely succeed."

 Jiang Xia: “…?”

He was confused for a while, not understanding why Miss Yoko said this.

 In the end, I had to pretend it didn't happen, hold the candy and retract my hand, leave the "evidence" disc, and say goodbye.

 …

 Wait until Jiang Xia leaves.

The agent returned to the car, locked the door again, and turned to look at Kinoshita Yoko in the back seat.

Yoko Kinoshita smiled at her with a relaxed expression and handed the CD over: "He just found an excuse to come to the car out of desperation - this CD contains the study materials he carved."

The manager's forehead jumped, his blood pressure soared, and he almost crushed the CD.

But...I found an excuse.

 It means that Yoko has never had an abortion.

The agent breathed a sigh of relief.

 As long as there is no black material.

She inserted the car keys, turned on the ignition and left. At the same time, she complained tiredly to Kinoshita Yoko about Jiang Xia: "This kid really loves to cause trouble for others, but the gangsters he has provoked want to involve us."

"People's desire to survive is very strong." Yoko Kinoshita's calm voice came from the back seat, "Just like some people say, 'When you are kidnapped, you should smash the things of passers-by, so that passers-by who have suffered financial losses will not "You're going to stand by and do nothing - you're doing things that harm the interests of innocent people, but you're just trying to survive, so it's hard to blame."

“…We’ve only known each other for a few minutes, and you’re already excusing him.” The agent’s temples were beating again and he was mumbling.

 Kinoshita Yoko listened carefully for a while and vaguely heard the agent angrily cursing "fox".

She couldn't help but laugh, didn't say anything anymore, and picked up the half-read novel that was lying next to her.

 The novel was given to her by the old director: "Youth Never Returned", a passionate and passionate novel about literary youth.

 When I first read it, I felt that this book was rather silly.

 After seeing it too much, I was assimilated by it, but I also felt that it was a masterpiece.

At this moment, Yoko Kinoshita was thinking with emotion: Seventeen or eighteen years old is a good age to dare to do anything and it is never too late to do anything. It only happens once in a lifetime.

If Jiang Xia really takes the right path in the future, then she can be regarded as a witness of this miraculous transformation.

 …

the other side.

Jiang Xia got off the car and walked into an alley.

Not long after, there was a series of footsteps behind me - someone was following.

Jiang Xia walked to the hiding place and turned around.

He saw that the person following him was the golden-haired gangster who had "chased" him before.

Golden Retriever was carrying a baseball bat and approaching menacingly.

 Then he hugged Jiang Xia enthusiastically: "How are you doing, boss. Is it time to sign?"

—Yoko Kinoshita, as a top idol, is suitable for both men and women, young and old. It is particularly popular among the male-dominated delinquent circles.

Therefore, a few days ago, Jiang Xia proposed to "make up a reason to ask Ms. Yoko for an autograph" and immediately received an enthusiastic response. So a group of people followed Jiang Xia's instructions and dressed up as the gangsters who were chasing him.

Although they don’t know exactly what the connection is between “hunting down the boss” and “asking Ms. Yoko for an autograph”...but what the boss said is absolutely right! Just stick to the plan.

Sure enough, not long after, they saw Jiang Xia getting into Kinoshita Yoko's car.

 …I can only say that he is worthy of being the boss!

After Jin Mao asked for his signature, before Jiang Xia could speak, he looked around furtively and couldn't help but share his happy time with the boss in a low voice:

“When I passed by you just now, I took a look through the crack of the window. Haha, Ms. Yoko is even more beautiful in person than on the poster... huh?”

Halfway through his words, he accidentally lowered his eyes and saw a ferocious green color on the back of Jiang Xia's right hand, and was suddenly startled.

  After a moment, a strange light of envy filled the golden retriever's eyes: "...Miss Yoko hit you? Did she do it herself?"

 Jiangxia: “…”

 Two seconds later, Golden Retriever came to his senses under his faint gaze. He cleared his throat guiltily: "I mean, that... is too much! Even if you don't give me an autograph, you actually hit someone!"

 The other "people hired by the rival paparazzi" had been far behind Kinoshita Yoko's car just now. Now that Jiang Xia got off the car, they came to join him one after another.

At this time, hearing the howl of the golden retriever in the distance, a group of people gathered around excitedly, looking ready to make a move.

—The boss was beaten up by two beautiful women in a car?

 Can this be tolerated?

cannot!

 They must also be allowed to…

 Ahem, no.

 It is necessary to seek justice for the boss!

Jiang Xia faced their scorching gazes and felt that something was wrong with these young men.

He sighed tiredly: "No one hit me. I was hit a few days ago." He raised his hand and shook it, revealing the traces of being touched by ghost fetuses, "How could it be this that was hit just now? color."

Jiang Xia really didn’t want to see strange reports the next day, such as “Shocked! Delinquents went to the performing arts company to attack the tower in large numbers.”

The younger brothers were quite disappointed when they heard his explanation: "Oh, that's right."

 Their memories are generally not very good, and they are not in the habit of staring at other people's hands. They couldn't remember what Jiang Xia's hands looked like a few days ago, and they were fooled.

 …The crisis is resolved.

The younger brothers returned to the topic happily: "Miss Yoko is so cute! ... By the way, boss, what kind of fake materials did you use to get into the car?" ... They also want to learn from it.

Jiang Xia said casually: "I printed out a copy of her 0-point transcript and threatened that if she didn't sign it for me, she would expose her mental retardation. Then she called me into the car and told me to be honest along the way."

As she spoke, Jiang Xia reached into her pocket, touched it, and took out the candy given by Yoko Kinoshita: "The real person is so cute. I was just looking at her and forgot to ask for an autograph. She gave me some candy before getting off the car. You guys can share it." .”

 “Oh!” The bad boys were very happy. For them, formulaic signatures and sweet sugar, of course, sugar is more memorable.

 A handful of sugar was gone in an instant.

 Only Jiang Xia has one left in his pocket.

But he didn’t plan to eat it. This candy has the scent of Yoko Kinoshita. You can keep it as a souvenir and use it to coax the ghost fetus in the future. The principle is probably similar to preparing some cat toys before raising a cat.

 …

Jiang Xia originally went to the ghost fetus today.

But judging from the previous contact, the little ghost baby has a deep obsession and cannot be easily picked up.

However, it is not without gain.

At the moment of touching, Jiang Xia discovered that the ghost baby’s obsession was quite innocent: it wanted to see its biological father and biological mother live in harmony.

 …Maybe it’s because I have been following Yoko Kinoshita and read too many Shabaitian scripts.

Jiang Xia doesn't know Kinoshita Yoko's ex-boyfriend, but he has no intention of being a moonlighter.

If you want to pick up such ghost fetuses, you must make their obsession no longer so deep.

In addition to helping them realize their wishes, this can actually be achieved in another way - letting the ghost fetus accept a severe beating from reality and realize that what it expects is impossible to achieve.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia activated his false "precognition ability", recalled the plot, and soon had a rough plan.

 …However, I can’t go right away, I have to make some preparations first.

 …

The next day, when Jiang Xia was washing herself in the mirror, she found that the entire back of her hand was blue, but fortunately it was not swollen.

This kind of little ghost fetus cannot harm his spirit, but it can torture his body... Mainly because this body has never been in contact with a real ghost fetus, so it is a little allergic to it at first touch.

 However, the damage that the ghost fetus can cause to Jiang Xia is at best to this extent.

 Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to poke it before.

Jiang Xia shook her wrist twice and found that it didn't hurt or affect her movements, so she didn't care anymore and packed up to go to school.

 …

Jiang Xia usually only attends work when there are quizzes and takes sick leave at other times.

However, thanks to his excellent memory and comprehension skills, he did well.

Although there is Kudo Shinichi in the class, many details are different from those in the anime. Jiang Xia is not sure whether Kudo Shinichi will become Conan, and he doesn't know whether one year will be longer than twenty in the future... So taking the exam is actually part of his life plan.

  Anyway, he didn’t study hard and remembered it at a glance.

If the time is not stretched, it will definitely be more comfortable to get into a good university and join the organization's research laboratory in the future than to be a peripheral member who fights and kills.
