Chapter 738 A strange ghost fetus appears
Conan, who was watching silently, said: "…" He was panicking because he saw you. Children are more likely to be afraid of violence, and when Jiang Xia acted bravely before, his momentum was indeed a bit scary.
Although Haibara Ai felt that there was no need for children to be afraid of Jiang Xia, the same thought actually flashed through her mind.
"That..." Yoshida Ayumi was looked at by Jiang Xia and was hesitant to speak.
Maybe it was because among the three people, she had been saved by Jiang Xia more times. Besides being afraid, she actually had more trust in this "handsome but ferocious big brother" in front of her.
Yoshida Ayumi hesitated for a moment, and finally said hesitantly: "We were fishing in the park nearby. When we were preparing for a picnic, we suddenly smelled a strange smell..."
“Strange taste?”
"Yeah." Yoshida Ayumi nodded, thought for a moment, raised her hand and gestured, "That's it... I smelled it once before, when I was in the library, the kind of corpse that had been left for a while..."
"Corpse stench?!" Conan was startled, and shifted his attention away from the chocolate in his hand, and said seriously, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Xia stroked his chin and looked at the three real kids in front of him. At such a young age, they could even remember the smell of a corpse... In terms of "encountering murders", they really had a lot of experience.
The three children nodded at the same time when they heard Conan's question. They subconsciously looked at Jiang Xia, a very famous detective recently, and wanted to hear the opinions of professionals.
But when he looked up, he found that for some reason, there was a hint of envy in Jiang Xia's eyes when he looked at them.
“…”
The three of them shuddered in unison and unconsciously moved back a little, maintaining a proper fear of the strange emotions.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya wiped off his sweat and tried to run away with his friends: "After we smelled the smell, we searched nearby, but we couldn't find a place to hide the body.
"Originally, we wanted to ask Conan and Ai to come over to help. But Conan didn't reply... Anyway, now that I think about it, maybe we smelled it wrong. Well, it should be just a false alarm. We'll take our leave first..."
——He didn't want to be regarded as a "bad boy who lies" by Jiang Xia. He decided to fool this overly righteous detective first, and then work with the Junior Detective Team to find possible cases.
However, although they wanted to say goodbye like Wakamatsu Toshihide just now, the running speed of the children was far inferior to that of the muscular man.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima said, "I must have smelled it wrong," and planned to run away. However, they ran for a few steps and realized that they were in the air and could not run away at all.
Jiang Xia picked up the young detectives who were delivered to his door, one in each hand, and said in a friendly manner: "To be on the safe side, let's go over and take a look - children are often very observant, and your opinions should not be ignored."
When Yoshida Ayumi heard that Jiang Xia actually believed them, she was surprised and a little moved for a moment, and nodded her head excitedly.
The other two little boys stared at her silently: "..." Wake up! What if this is a trap?
…
This area is close to the suburbs and there are not many stations.
The station where they were staying was two or three blocks away from where the Junior Detective Team was fishing.
The three people who came later followed the children towards the park.
As they walked, when they were almost at the park, Jiang Xia discovered that the ghosts seemed confused, and their expressions were very similar to what they had done at Jiechuan's house just now, when they gathered together to discuss the existence of the murderous aura of the perfume.
Jiang Xia observed for a while, then, by patting his clothes, he picked up two ghosts with more sensitive senses and put them on his shoulders, thereby shifting the place of their discussion to his ears.
Then I heard it clearly.
——The ghosts seemed to feel that there was a faint scent of a ghost fetus ahead.
But the aura was very strange, and judging from the distance from which it was sensed, the possible new ghost was clearly not far away from them, but the ghosts' sense of it was not obvious.
"..." Jiang Xia also became confused.
According to the "distance between them" given by the ghosts at present, at this distance, he should be able to vaguely feel the so-called "breath of the ghost fetus."
But in fact it is not.
...Is that a very weak ghost?
Or is there some other strange interference that causes the ghosts to sense things incorrectly?
"..." No matter what, it's rare to detect the breath of a new ghost fetus. Even if it's just a suspicion, I should go over and take a look.
As Jiang Xia thought about it, he lowered his head and glanced at the children leading the way. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that they looked like three cute boys delivering money. His eyes became peaceful again.
…
When they reached the park entrance, Ayumi raised her hand and pointed towards the center of the park in the distance.
There was a tree with sprawling branches: "That's where I smelled it, under that tree - we used to put the tablecloth there."
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya quickly followed her words to pave the way: "But the smell is very faint, it may be the smell of garbage left by other tourists..."
The smell was very faint... Conan thought about it - according to his understanding of these three curious children, after noticing the abnormal smell, they would definitely look for it nearby. And so far, apart from the so-called "very faint corpse odor" under the tree, they have not found a stronger smell anywhere else. If there is a source of the smell, it must be near the tree.
but……
Conan raised his head and looked around the tree carefully.
They found that the terrain was flat, there was no cover to hide, and the ground was a solid piece with no signs of being disturbed. Although there were more branches on the tree, the leaves were sparse at this time of year, and it was impossible to hide a body at a glance.
"..." After a brief observation, Conan's interest in the matter slightly decreased.
——Maybe it was just some unethical person who came here to have a BBQ and left some raw meat to be used as ingredients nearby.
Thinking about how he had just concluded that there was a dead body hidden in the park based on just a few words from the children, Conan sighed: naughty children are always jumpy and his own thinking has been led astray by them.
If you think about it, there aren't that many murders here—they just encountered one.
In Conan's impression, unless it was a serial murder case, he rarely encountered two murders in a day.
...Hmm? No, wait.
“Very little” does not actually mean “none”.
Speaking of which, in his past life, Conan remembered that he had actually encountered a situation where "he encountered more than one incident in a row in one day."
And if you count those times carefully... Jiang Xia was present every time.
