Chapter 26 Aren’t we good partners? Please give me a monthly ticket (ω＼)
Jiang Xia walked into the "haunted house".
There were dark clouds outside and the room was very dark. Without a flashlight, you could hardly see anything.
Jiang Xia borrowed the ghost fetus's night vision ability and walked silently along the dark corridor.
…
Soon, he found a piece of floor that had been lifted up at the end of the corridor.
This seemed to be the entrance to a secret passage. There was a flight of stairs leading down.
Jiang Xia moved closer with a little curiosity, observed for a moment, and vaguely smelled murderous intent from the passage.
"..." He nodded with satisfaction and walked in.
…
Follow the steps all the way down to the bottom.
At the end of the tunnel, there was a lighted basement.
Jiang Xia remembered that this was the place where the man who had killed his father and led his filial son to surrender but failed was imprisoned by his mother.
At this time, the basement door was open.
Conan's reasoning voice could be faintly heard from inside.
…
Jiang Xia walked quietly to the door and took a look inside.
In the middle of the room, a row of iron bars separated a cell.
The owner's son was sitting in the cell with dishevelled hair and a dirty face, with an old shikigami on his legs, which was probably his father in disguise.
Outside the railing, there were three people in total.
——Conan, his female classmate Yoshida Ayumi, and a white-haired, very thin woman.
…
Jiang Xia glanced around and his eyes quickly landed on the woman with her back to him: "..."
The waist-length silver hair made Jiang Xia's fingers move slightly, and he reflexively wanted to pull something.
But after a moment of concentration, he could see that the murderous aura on the woman was very bland. It could only be barely classified as "satisfying", and was not even as fresh as the murderous aura of the kidnapper last time.
The ghost baby looked at the white-haired woman in front of him, and after a moment of shock, he looked a little disappointed.
However, it was not as picky as Jiang Xia, and was satisfied with just the killing intent. So it still jumped down to the ground with great enthusiasm, ready to pick it up.
…
A few meters away, in the basement.
The white-haired woman was holding a knife and glaring at Conan and Ayumi who were cornered by her. She was extremely excited.
She had her back to the door and didn't notice Jiang Xia was there.
Conan saw it.
His voice of reasoning paused slightly, then quickly continued as if nothing had happened.
However, this fake elementary school student obviously couldn't control his emotions.
When he spoke, his breath was much stronger than before.
Fortunately, the white-haired old woman was in a bad mental state and did not notice Conan's abnormality.
Ayumi hid beside Conan, looking at Jiang Xia timidly, also without saying a word.
I don't know if he became more resourceful in the dangerous situation or was so scared that he couldn't make a sound.
Of course, it may also be an illusion that is common among those who love appearance - the big brother at the door does not look like a bad person.
…
Conan is obviously the kind of detective who, once he gets carried away with reasoning, will finish his reasoning before he dies, even at the cost of his life.
In fact, at the beginning, the white-haired old lady didn't want to kill anyone.
Yuanta and Mitsuhiko, who were lying in the yard, were just knocked unconscious by her.
Because she thought that even if these first-grade kids went to report the case, the police would not pay any attention.
But now, Conan is different.
——Conan not only saw the people in the dungeon, he even guessed that his son was the murderer.
“There is a homeless person hiding in the haunted house” and “There is a roving murderer hiding in the haunted house” are completely different.
If it is the latter, the police might come even if the person reporting the case is a child.
…
So at this moment, the white-haired woman listened to Conan's reasoning and felt some real murderous intent.
When Conan said, "The one who killed your husband was actually your son," the old woman finally exploded.
"Shut up!" She grabbed Conan's neck and raised the kitchen knife with a ferocious look on her face.
Ayumi screamed and covered her eyes in fear.
Conan was also confused: “…”…Wait a minute?
Why is the script different from what he expected?
——He clearly saw Jiang Xia just now!
Shouldn't the normal situation be: he deduced the truth, Jiang Xia simultaneously controlled the old woman, and finally the two of them smiled at each other tacitly, took out their phones and called the police without showing any respect for themselves?
...But now, where are the people of Jiangxia?
Conan struggled to look back, but the old woman blocked his entire view. The angry white-haired woman let out a roar and raised her knife suddenly. She chopped down hard.
When the tip of the knife was only a few inches away from Conan, someone finally grabbed her wrist from behind.
Jiang Xia took the kitchen knife from the white-haired woman's hand and pressed hard on her shoulder.
The woman screamed "Ah!" in pain, half of her body went numb, and she collapsed to the ground.
Along with her screams, there was the faint sound of sirens coming from outside the house.
——Jiang Xia called the police before coming in.
"..." Jiang Xia looked outside in the direction of the sound: He is so accurate in his positioning, he is worthy of being the policeman of this world.
He threw the kitchen knife into the corner, and suddenly found a mop at his feet, so he picked it up.
——Although the door of the tunnel is open, it will definitely take some time for the police to find the entrance.
Before the police arrive, we should seize the opportunity to eliminate the murderous aura.
——Conan's ability to attract hatred should not be underestimated. The more this fake kid reasoned, the more murderous the white-haired woman became... The amount of murderous intent now has far exceeded that when Jiang Xia first came in.
Jiang Xia looked at the man who was full of murderous intent and raised the pole expectantly.
At this time, the white-haired woman sitting on the ground covered her shoulders, turned her head, and looked at Jiang Xia with unwillingness on her face.
The two looked at each other.
The next second, the murderous aura surrounding the old lady fell to the ground consciously.
...Maybe she weighed the strength of both sides and quickly realized that she couldn't continue killing people. So she had to give up the idea of killing.
The ghost baby, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
It trotted over, rolled up the shed murderous aura into a fluffy ball like a cotton candy, and brought it back to show Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia half-knelt down, took out a cigarette box containing ghost mint, tore open the sealed package, and let the murderous aura seep in.
