The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 90: How to safely distribute bento
Nishikawa Suimei realized that Jiang Xia had entered the secret passage, and immediately panicked.
In those days, she didn't actually burn Mrs. Tai to death, but imprisoned people in the secret passage, so that she could have plastic surgery in the appearance of Mrs. Zhen Tai.
In other words, Mrs. Tai's body is still lying in the secret passage.
And the location of the corpse happened to be very close to where Jiang Xia entered. According to the detective's insight, Jiang Xia may have seen it...
Nishikawa Suimei thought about it, and gradually became murderous.
So she excused herself to rest and locked herself in the room. Then, carrying a wooden stick, she opened the entrance to the secret passage in the room. She planned to take advantage of her familiarity with secret passages to sneak attack on Jiang Xia and kill this one who knows too much. detective.
However, Nishikawa Suimei wandered around the secret passage for a long time, but she never found Jiang Xia. A few times, she felt as if someone was passing by her side, but when she looked at it sharply, she couldn't see anything.
...what's the matter?
Could it be that Jiang Xia has actually gone out? Or have been hiding in a corner without moving?
Nishikawa Suimei's heart was gradually shaken, and she clenched the wooden stick tightly.
…
As soon as Nishikawa Suimei entered the secret passage, Jiang Xia immediately locked her position.
——Although the souls burned to death by Nishikawa Suimei were very stunned, they didn't go to pick her up. But Nishikawa Suimei killed more than that, she also killed Mrs. Zhentai.
And Mrs. Tai knew very well who the murderer was, so the shikigami she transformed into after her death was firmly on Nishikawa Suimei's lap, becoming Jiang Xia's locator.
When Nishikawa Suimei entered the secret passage, Jiang Xia had already collected the shikigami. He was about to start eliminating obsessions in batches and signed a contract, and Nishikawa Suimei delivered it to the door himself.
After Jiang Xia saw her figure clearly, her expression softened a little - come on, come, and specially sent a wooden stick, how embarrassing.
However, no matter how caring and sensible Nishikawa Suimei is, Jiang Xia will not change her original plan. This woman is an important tool to help the ghosts eliminate their obsessions.
Jiang Xia stood in the dark, watching Nishikawa Suimei pass by in front of him, and then whispered the truth about the castle fire to the shikigami who died in vain in the paper bag.
The shikigami have a clear goal, so that they can know where their obsessions are, and it is more convenient to eliminate them in batches.
These souls don't have much thinking ability, but they are only very sensitive to their own causes of death and their killers. At this time, they were spoiled by Jiang Xia, and the originally messy and scattered obsessions gradually converged, and the goal was precisely aimed at the fake old woman in the secret passage.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Jiang Xia originally wanted to beat people in the past as a routine.
However, when Jiang Xia walked lightly behind Nishikawa Suimei and was about to take the stick in her hand, Jiang Xia thought of something and moved.
...... Nishikawa Suimei killed so many people at once in order to seize the treasure. If she just beat her up, the grievances of the shikigami may not be subsided.
Not only human beings, Shikigami also pays attention to the power of many souls. Souls with the same cause of death gather together, interfere with each other, and superimpose each other, which will give birth to more powerful obsessions.
Last time, the open-section murderer at the seaside of Izu had only four shikigami on his body, but after he was beaten like that, none of the shikigami loosened at all. After he fell off the cliff, Miyano Akemi managed to tear off the soul.
And now, more people die in vain...
After Nishikawa Suimei walked a little further, Jiang Xia opened the paper bag, lowered her head and counted carefully, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... a total of eighteen souls.
Count again, one two three four five six seven... or eighteen.
When Jiang Xia was counting, Xiaobai and Miyano Akemi looked up and saw his movements, and were slightly startled.
After a while, the two ghosts skillfully climbed up Jiang Xia's legs all the way, got close to the paper bag, and wanted to line up at the end of the line to help Jiang Xia make up the number.
The Tengu Ghost has never experienced this kind of "troop deployment" scene. It flew up swayingly, observed the situation in confusion, and tentatively lined up behind Miyano Akemi.
Jiang Xia tapped the three ghosts with his fingertips. After tapping, he almost wanted to release the other shikigami in his heart... But in the end, he realized that it was not the occasion to count these, so he had to stop regretfully. Do business first.
In short, now that so many grievances are gathered together, it is difficult to end the matter without handing the murderer a lunch.
Even an ordinary death may not clear the obsessions of the shikigami.
Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment and decided to do a small experiment first.
He picked up a stone, weighed it silently in his hand, and quickly caught up with Nishikawa Suimei who had been out for a while.
When Nishikawa Suimei passed a step, Jiang Xia raised her hand and threw it. The woman fell down, just stepping on the stone, her soles crooked, and she rolled down the stairs.
The steps here are relatively steep. After Nishikawa Suimei rolled to the bottom, she fainted for a while, and then she was sore all over and got up with a groan.
Jiang Xia looked down at the shikigami in the bag, and felt that their resentment was not lacking at all. On the contrary, there is a vague trend of strengthening, and there is quite a kind of emotion like "We died so miserably~IndoMTL.com~ When it came to her, she was here?".
Jiang Xia: "..."
A group of souls, there are quite a lot of things.
But...
Jiang Xia touched the paper bag, and his eyes quickly returned to kindness. Forget it, who made them so easy to pick up, there are more, and some requirements are not unsatisfactory.
Having said that, Jiang Xia did not intend to kill.
For ordinary people, death is the end. But for psychics, death may just be the beginning of trouble.
After most people die, they can't generate too strong souls. But the aura of the psychic itself is quite special. In history, there are many people who died at the hands of the psychic, and then went black, and landing is a precedent for a big boss.
For Jiang Xia, the situation of being killed by a blackened soul after killing someone is roughly equivalent to "randomly rolling a number from 1-100000, and if it reaches '64541', he will die on the spot" - this is a probability Very low event, but as long as there is a probability, it means that it is likely to happen. And the best way to avoid it is to not shake it at all.
...So, you definitely can't directly strangle someone to death.
Even if you have to give out a bento, you have to use euphemisms and twists to make the soul stunned for a while. First, you need to understand whether its death has anything to do with the psychic. In this way, if you really accidentally shake a boss-level blackened soul that dies at one touch, you can take appropriate life-saving measures before its obsession takes shape.
While Jiang Xia was thinking, Nishikawa Suimei grabbed her head and got up from the ground.
She stood up suddenly, threw herself to the wall, slapped the next trap, and fled the secret passage.
Jiang Xia looked at the place where she disappeared, recalled part of the tunnel layout that she had observed when picking up ghosts, and walked around to the other side.
