Chapter 36 Don't be afraid, kids

Without Jiang Xia's obstruction, Fenghu Kyosuke finally performed the "standing on both legs" action with difficulty.

He was so excited that he almost wanted to wipe away tears, but before he could raise his hands, he suddenly felt a huge force on his back - plainclothes officers hurried over, pinned him to the ground, and then skillfully handcuffed him, searched him, and pulled off his hat and mask.

Kyosuke Fudo struggled for a moment.

Then it slowly stopped moving.

He had thought before that if his deeds were exposed and he was arrested, he would fight to the last second.

However, at this moment, when Kyosuke Fudo found that the plainclothes officers only controlled him and did not beat anyone, he suddenly burst into tears and felt that the police comrades had become friendly.

…

Next to him, Jiang Xia was slightly startled when he saw the murderous aura emanating from Kyosuke Fudo.

"..." He originally thought that a patient and paranoid man like Fudo Kyosuke might have to wait until he went to the police station or even the court before giving up on killing and obediently handing over his murderous intent to the psychic.

...but I didn't expect him to be so weak.

It was obvious that I didn't hit him hard at all.

Of course, it is also possible that as a respectable man, Kyosuke Fudo was kicked around in the street and suffered a severe mental blow... So there is such a way to pick up ghosts?

Jiang Xia nodded thoughtfully, looking at Kyosuke Fuuto who was carried into the car by plainclothes officers with a peaceful look on his face, and felt that he had discovered a new way to catch ghosts.

…

The ambulance arrived quickly and took away the victim who had fallen in the phone booth.

Jiang Xia has lost interest in this case and is counting the ghosts and murderous aura he has snatched from Fenghu Kyosuke.

At this moment, the light around him dimmed and two men in plain clothes walked towards him.

…

Just now, when the plainclothes officers were chasing someone, they all heard Fudo Kyosuke's heart-wrenching cry, "Jiang Xia!"

They immediately realized that the young man who passed by and beat up the murderer might be a person of interest in the case.

Of course, the two did not think of Jiang Xia as a bad guy or an accomplice of Fenghu Kyosuke.

One reason is that what Jiang Xia did just now...may seem like a crime at first glance, but it should obviously be seen as an act of bravery.

In addition, there are four children next to Jiang Xia.

When the plainclothes officers were chasing the man, they saw it clearly - when the gunman ran over here, the children quickly hid behind Jiang Xia and seemed to trust him very much.

Someone who is liked and trusted by so many children doesn't seem like a bad person.

…

Thinking of this, the plainclothes officers looked at the unlucky child who was involved in the incident.

After finding that they were huddled together like quails, not daring to speak, the plainclothes officers showed sympathy - poor children, they must have been frightened by the murderer who shot in the street.

Plainclothes officer A reached out and touched the children's heads, trying to give them some comfort.

Plainclothes officer B looked at Jiang Xia and asked, "Do you know that person?"

Jiang Xia was silent for a while before whispering, "The voice sounds familiar, a lot like my attending physician."

The two plainclothes officers looked at each other and nodded secretly. Yes, Fudo Kyousuke was indeed a doctor.

It seems that these two people do know each other.

…

When the plainclothes officers arrested Fenghu Kyosuke, they drove a van with a fairly spacious space. But it was not good to let ordinary citizens squeeze in with a gunman.

Fortunately, this place was not far from the police station, so the plainclothes men left one person behind to accompany Jiang Xia and several children and walked to the police station.

Along the way, Conan was in deep thought, and hesitated to speak:

Jiang Xia’s attending physician turned out to be a murderer... He had not expected this.

Conan: "..." No matter what the disease is, as long as the treatment period is long enough, the doctor will gradually establish a bond and trust with the patient, especially in a department like the psychotherapy department... Could it be that Jiang Xia gradually discovered something was wrong during that process, so he didn't want to go to the hospital?

However, judging from the fact that Jiang Xia stopped immediately after the doctor's shout, it seems that Jiang Xia doesn't hate him that much... Otherwise, let alone stopping, he should have kicked him a few more times while the chaos was going on.

…

Conan's father is, after all, a mystery writer. Conan himself is also well-read and has a big imagination.

As he was thinking, his thoughts wandered a little, and he recalled the cases in novels and movies where psychiatrists first deceived their patients' precious trust and then induced them to commit crimes.

Could it be that...

Conan immediately became alert, feeling that the situation was serious. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know exactly how to say it.

Finally, he looked at Jiang Xia and sighed.

——Both his parents are dead, his mental state is worrying, and he encounters murders all the time... Even when he goes for an ordinary check-up, he can encounter such a doctor with no medical ethics.

We all grew up on the same street.

Why is it that Jiang Xia is the only one who always encounters scumbags?

…

Next to him, Conan was worried silently.

Jiang Xia was in a very good mood.

——I went out today and brought back a leg-eating shikigami, as well as the rare and murderous mushroom soup base that he had coveted for a long time.

When leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, Jiang Xia looked at the children next to him and almost wanted to give the Junior Detective Team a banner that read "Case Magnet, Friends of Psychics."

The three children were startled by his stare. After they came to their senses, they whispered that they wanted to go to the park to play and promised to be good and not bump into passers-by.

Jiang Xia didn't understand why he had to report to him about "wanting to go out for fun". But he didn't bother to ask further and nodded quickly.

The three children pulled Conan along and ran away. Their backs looked like three birds leaving a cage and flying into the sky.

...Well, in the middle there was also an old man pretending to be young, looking back every three steps but failing to resist.
