Chapter 750 New Puppet
Madonna’s original plan was indeed the same as Jiang Xia’s “guess” before.
——In the incubator in the corridor, there was a solid "n"-shaped ice block to reduce friction. In addition, she also brought a hemp rope, intending to knock the store manager unconscious, take him to the tree in the yard and hang him, so that he would "hang himself."
This job requires a lot of physical strength, but although Madonna looks frail, she was an excellent wrestler in the past, so this is not difficult for her.
"They are all really different from the characters' personalities." Huiyuan Ai yawned, with a pair of not-so-obvious dark circles under her eyes, and couldn't help muttering, "Did the person in charge of selecting the actors deliberately let them play roles that are completely opposite to their own personalities, so as to hone themselves?"
"From another perspective, being able to put together such a team is also a talent." Jiang Xia just drove a vest and found Madonna's car by following the previous signal point. While there was no one around, he took out the transmitter he had put there before. The adhesive material of the transmitter happened to be the same color as the car body, and Madonna ignored it in a panic.
At this moment, Jiang Xia came back to his senses and looked at his watch: "Let's go, it's time to go back and rest."
Jiang Xia had insisted on being the store manager's stand-in before, simply because he wanted to get close to the source of murderous aura and find an opportunity to see if he could extract more murderous aura.
And now it seems that Conan has lived up to everyone's expectations. The moment he said the sarcastic "How strange" just now, the murderous aura of the perfume expanded again.
...Now that the murderous intent has arrived, Jiang Xia is not as enthusiastic about what happens next.
Miwako Sato is very busy now - not only has she caught the murderer, but she also has to arrange her subordinates to find the vehicle that transported the body and the remaining clues in the park.
Jiang Xia made an appointment with her to complete the record and left quickly.
…
When he got home, Jiang Xia turned on the organization's dedicated mobile phone and found a new email.
Judging from the sender's address, the email was from Subaru Okiya - this new subordinate, who was either busy or feeling guilty, finally replied after more than a day of pestering his boss.
I opened the email and saw a long, densely packed text. I even turned the page.
Jiang Xia was stunned at first, thinking that Okiya Subaru was preparing a long and eloquent resignation letter.
However, after a closer look, I realized that after removing the fixed greetings at the beginning and the end, and removing the simple self-introduction, apology, and explanation of why I replied late... the meaning of this email is very brief.
It can be summed up in two words – “received”.
Jiang Xia: “…”
The email contained too much etiquette, and his fingertips trembled slightly, and he almost replied politely... But reason made him turn his fingers away at the last moment, delete the email, turn off the screen, and throw the phone into his pocket.
...A serious organizational boss certainly doesn't need to reply with nonsense like "Okay, thank you for your hard work" after his subordinates reply "got it".
Jiang Xia recalled the previous tasks that were specifically given to new subordinates, and determined the location where Okiya Subaru would appear next. Then he put the matter aside and stopped thinking about it.
Although Okiya Subaru's story is also worth pondering.
But right now, there are obviously higher priorities...
…
Jiang Xia entered the bedroom, closed the door, and drew the curtains.
Then he found the newly found cat ghost and put it on the table, looking a little expectant.
Following the procedure of collecting ghosts, Jiang Xia inserted a needle into the mark on his heart as usual.
However, when he stretched out the needle stained with blood and prepared to drip the blood onto the ghost, he hesitated.
"..."This cat ghost is too small. Perhaps the amount of blood dripped on it should be reduced?
He was just about to pick out half of the blood and drip half on it to try.
However, at this moment, the cat seemed to sense his hesitation, and it pricked up its ears alertly, jumped up on the spot, and hit the drop of blood accurately.
Jiang Xia: “…”
...so enthusiastic.
Is this really a cat? I feel like I'm facing a dog that was accidentally reincarnated as a cat, and it recognized its master in seconds...
The drop of blood landed on the cat, just like it fell on the other ghost fetuses, making a frying-like crackling sound while quickly moving along its body surface.
Jiang Xia pulled the stool next to him and sat down, holding his chin and observing the cat on the table.
Just like when I contracted other ghosts, the noise sounded scary, but the ghosts didn't feel uncomfortable. The only problem was... compared to a mini ghost cat, the blood volume was a little too much, and the blood beads moving around looked like the effect was hard to describe.
…
The cat was also startled by the crackling sound at first, but after observing it for a moment, it found that there seemed to be no big problem, so it slowly lay back in its original position, quickly shifted its attention, and meowed flatteringly at the new meal ticket in front of it.
“…”
Jiang Xia stared at it for one second, two seconds...
He reached for the cigarette box next to him and lit a ghost mint.
It's not that I felt the sincerity of the cat... but Mist Tengu had been watching the cat all day and was quite tired. Plus, I found a new ghost, so it was reasonable to open a ghost mint to celebrate.
…
A group of ghosts were lying on the table, sucking ghost mint together.
The bloodstains flowing on the cat's body gradually slowed down, and finally condensed between the two ears, shrinking into a "z" mark that was neither too big nor too small.
After everything was settled, Jiang Xia pinched the cat between two fingers, looked at it for a moment, and felt mixed emotions - fortunately, the mark did not turn into a huge "Z" across the entire cat, which would have been too funny.
However, this Siamese cat seems to maintain its summer fur color no matter what season you see it.
The fur at the location of the tattoo happens to be light-colored.
...If after condensing into a puppet, a cat with an anonymous "Z" on its head wanders around in Tokyo, which is full of dangers...those people and organizations interested in anonymous people will not shamelessly catch the cats when they pass by, or throw transmitters at them.
Speaking of which, speaking of puppets...
Jiang Xia looked at the cat ghost, then at the other ghosts around him, and fell into deep thought for a short while.
When condensing a puppet, the appearance of the puppet is usually based on the ghosts' appearance when they were alive, but at the same time, it will also be affected by Jiang Xia's soul.
But no matter what, the ghosts I encountered before all had some human form.
And now, "man + man" has become "man + cat"...
Jiang Xia subconsciously glanced at the mermaid - the ghost that looked the least human among all the ghosts.
Then he looked at the cat again, and the image of a person and a cat slowly emerged in his mind. The two slowly approached each other and overlapped...
The image of a "cat-faced old lady" with a cat's head and a human body suddenly appeared in front of him.
"..." After a pause, Jiang Xia shook his head to shake off the bad guess.
