Chapter 189 New Ghost's Skills
However, although the new ghost fetus failed to provide the puppet that Jiang Xia wanted, it awakened some good skills:
——Fire prevention.
It can generate a circle of area on the main body that isolates from high temperatures.
And it can not only protect the body. If you work hard and consume the killing energy exponentially, you can also protect your clothes, hair... and other people who are very close.
Jiang Xia studied the new skill for a while and felt it was very good - the ghost fetuses were indeed treasures of the world, and it didn't matter if they had strange shapes.
…
After playing with ghosts for a while, I felt that the commotion outside had subsided.
Jiang Xia pushed open the door and walked out yawning - Chairman Nagato, who had actually taken sleeping pills, seemed to have woken up. In this case, it would be bad for him, a young man who pretended to take sleeping pills, to sleep too long.
Arriving in the living room, Jiang Xia quickly found three classmates.
Hattori Heiji glanced at Jiang Xia who had just woken up, and his mood was a bit complicated: Judging from what happened just now, Shimura Mitsuaki probably wanted to kill the chairman, but was afraid that Jiang Xia would see through his trick, so he drugged Jiang Xia insidiously and made him sleep and leave... Tsk, talking about this makes me angry, why did he only drug Jiang Xia? He, Hattori Heiji, is also a famous high school detective! This murderer actually discriminates...
However, since Shimura Mitsuaki had already slipped and fallen to his death, it was impossible for Hattori Heiji to bother with a dead person.
He sighed and drank his tea in silence.
…
Jiang Xia sat on the sofa and asked about the current situation.
Mao Lilan thought of the incident between Nagato Hideomi and Hinata Yuki. She didn't want to tell Jiang Xia about these tragedies, so she only picked out the details of the case and quickly changed the subject:
"Would you like to come with us to watch the festival? There will be a bonfire festival nearby tomorrow night, and there will be fireworks. The hot springs in the hotel are also very comfortable - perfect for relaxing!"
Conan spat out a mouthful of tea and choked and coughed.
Hattori Heiji held back his laughter and patted him on the back to ease his anger: Jiang Xia might feel relaxed, but Kudo might not...
Jiang Xia seemed not to notice the reactions of his two colleagues and readily agreed: "Okay."
Then he suddenly turned to Hattori Heiji and said, "You should still be on vacation, right? Let's go together?"
"Cough cough cough——" Hattori Heiji also choked.
…
A few hours later.
Jiang Xia packed his luggage and prepared to join two classmates on a hot spring trip. At the same time, he looked around for Hattori Heiji.
The old butler saw his actions and came forward: "Master Hattori has left. He said he had something else to do in Osaka, so he asked me to say goodbye to you on his behalf."
"Oh, I see." Jiang Xia sighed regretfully.
Conan sighed and whispered, "You run really fast."
…
The three of them went to the hot spring hotel together.
Yesterday's "slip and fall death incident" happened in the evening.
By the time we finished dealing with the follow-up, it was already early morning.
Arriving at the hot spring hotel, Jiang Xia checked into a room and prepared to catch up on some sleep.
He was holding the room key and carrying his luggage, and had just walked to the second floor of the hotel when he suddenly stopped.
There was a murderous smell in the next room, and there was more than one place.
Jiang Xia: “…” It’s worthy of being the magical inn where Kogoro Mouri and Conan stay at the same time.
I should be able to sleep well tonight.
He entered the room, tidied himself up briefly, and soon fell asleep, smelling the sweet scent of murderous intent.
…
Because I almost stayed up all night the day before.
The next day, the three of them didn't go downstairs until the afternoon.
When Kogoro Maori woke up, he found that his daughter brought back a male classmate. He stared at Jiang Xia lying on the sofa, looking left and right, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, after listening to Maori Ran's explanation, Maori Kogoro slowly turned his eyes away.
…
This is a hot spring hotel.
But Jiang Xia stared at the steam rising from the backyard and ultimately decided not to go and take a bath.
This shop is a mixed bathing place for men and women, and Mao Li Ran looks like she wants to take a hot spring bath. And judging from the looks that Mao Li Kogoro gives her from time to time, if Jiang Xia goes there as well, it will become much more difficult for him to take advantage of Mao Li Kogoro's cases in the future... Forget it.
Another thing is the Z-shaped mark on the heart.
Psychics are different from ghosts.
As long as the ghosts signed the contract and formed the tattoo, then as long as the contract was in place, their tattoos would appear outside at any time and would not disappear.
The marks on a psychic's body usually do not show up.
It only appears when the ghost is needed.
In other words, if Jiang Xia doesn't want to be seen with the same tattoo as Anonymous, then when he takes a hot spring bath, he must let all the ghosts shrink back into the tattoo space... But for a psychic, it would be a bit lonely without a few ghosts around him.
So in the end, only Mao Lilan went to take a bath.
Before leaving, she invited Conan.
If Conan was the only one there, he would have gone happily. But now, Jiang Xia, who knew his real age, was also there.
Conan didn't want to be regarded as a shameless old pervert by his classmates, so he struggled weakly for a few times, and then happily let Ran Mouri carry him away.
…
There are quite a few seats in the lobby of the hot spring hotel.
Kogoro Mouri and his classmates were sitting at a table and chatting.
Among this group of old classmates, there was a bald uncle who exuded a murderous aura.
After Maori Ran and Conan left, Jiang Xia originally wanted to sit at Maori Kogoro's table to be closer to the murderous aura.
But just as he stood up, he suddenly saw a familiar man with dark skin and blond hair walking into the hall holding a book.
——It turned out to be Toru Amuro.
Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why there was more than one murderous aura in this hotel - it turned out that there were not only Mouri Kogoro and Conan, but also another detective hidden here.
Jiang Xia's action of standing up and then stopping was a bit abrupt.
Toru Amuro immediately noticed the unusual movement here.
He glanced over calmly and recognized it was Jiang Xia, feeling a little surprised.
Soon, Toru Amuro turned around, walked towards Jiang Xia and sat down next to him.
This place is some distance away from where Kogoro Mori is, and also far away from other guests.
Jiang Xia touched the ghost next to him, and he suddenly remembered something - he had not yet told Amuro Toru that he had been promoted to a formal member.
“……”I don’t know if Toru Amuro has figured it out himself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia observed briefly.
Then I feel that the answer is no: Toru Amuro's attitude towards him now is no different from before.
"..." Come to think of it, Toru Amuro is not a member of the Personnel Department after all, so he cannot often access his information. The so-called "assigning people" in the past was just a greeting to the Personnel Department.
Now, Jiang Xia has been promoted to a full member, and his identity is more confidential than before. Of course, no one would deliberately inform Amuro Toru of this change, and even if Amuro Toru took the initiative to check, without a superior's task and without knowing the code name, he could only find out that Jiang Xia was a peripheral member before.
At this time, Jiang Xia glanced at Toru Amuro who was sitting next to him, thought for a moment, and hesitated to speak.
Finally decided not to tell.
“…”
The undercover agent Toru Amuro has a deep love for the country and is quite responsible for his job as a public security officer.
As far as Jiang Xia knows, the public security department of the island country has collected a lot of information about other people's undercover agents, entered them into computers, and did not keep a good lookout for them, which resulted in the information being easily stolen.
What if he told Toru Amuro about his promotion to a full member, and Toru Amuro put "Uzo" on the Public Security Bureau's undercover list, or on the list of subversion, and then the information was stolen by Shinshu...
