Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1436 1436【Let me see a doctor】Ask for a monthly ticket (づど)

  Conan changed the subject: "You also got a lottery ticket?" After a pause, he suddenly felt wrong, "Wait, uncle got the prize for buying beer... You went to buy beer too?"

Kogoro Mori knocked him on the head: "How is it possible? Jiang Xia is so famous, everyone knows he is a 'high school student' detective when he goes out for a while. Knowing the age of the other party, he even sells cigarettes and alcohol to people under the age of 20." …Heh, unless the store owner doesn’t want to do it anymore.”

  Jiang Xia: "..." Shouldn't the focus of high school detectives be "detectives", why do you focus on "high school students"?

  However, he still agrees with the conclusion drawn from this, and nodded: "That's right, of course I haven't bought beer. How could I do something that violates the rules."

While speaking, he naturally moved to the table where Mori Kogoro and Conan were, and successfully blended into the team of real detectives: "Actually, I received a commission, and the client asked to meet in this store to discuss it in detail. , so I came over to take a look."

   Conan was startled, his eyes lit up: "Consignment?"

  Moori Kogoro: "..." Maybe there will be a case again, I said it must be Jiang Xia's problem.

   Just as he was talking, the wind chimes rang outside the store, and someone came again.

  The person who came in this time was a brown-haired young man wearing glasses, who looked gentle and gentle, like a good person.

  Jiang Xia's seat right now is facing the door.

  The man glanced at him, his eyes fell on his face, and he quickly approached slightly excitedly: "Well, I am Kanda who sent the commission letter before. I didn't expect to invite such a famous detective as you..."

   In the middle of speaking, his face changed slightly, he turned his head and coughed.

  Mouri Kogoro vaguely understood something, and pinched the cigarette from his hand.

  Dr. Kanda smiled at him apologetically: "Sorry, I'm a little sensitive to the smell of smoke."

  Jiang Xia moved in to make room for this client.

  The waiter came quickly and presented the menu.

   But Dr. Kanda obviously didn't have any intention of eating, so he just ordered a cup of hot coffee and settled down.

   Then he looked at Mori Kogoro and Conan with slight surprise: "These two are..."

  He didn't expect that Jiang Xia would bring someone else with him when he came to pick up the job, and there was a first-grade child among them.

   "It's my neighbor, I met by chance when I came to the store." Jiang Xia briefly explained, but it didn't seem like he meant to drive the two irrelevant people away, or leave with Dr. Kanda, and open another table alone.

Seeing this scene, Conan recalled the meaning he had expressed just now of "wanting to follow Jiang Xia's entrustment", and was a little moved: Jiang Xia is such a dedicated person, but because he wanted to participate in the entrustment, he actually kept him in front of the client's eyes. Got it down... so much fun.

   Fortunately, Dr. Kanda seems to be a very talkative person, and he doesn't seem to care about these things.

  He looked at his watch, and said simply as if in a hurry: "As I said before, the person who was threatened by an unknown person is my colleague at the Capital Medical University—Dr. Yoshimura.

"Recently, the harassment from those people has intensified. He had to ask for leave these days and stay behind closed doors every day. But even so, there were still some threatening phone calls, threatening letters and the like. Occasionally when he went out, He always felt that someone was following him, and he said he was going crazy.

"I have known Yoshimura for a long time, and the relationship has always been good. Seeing him getting more and more emaciated like this day by day, I feel very uncomfortable, so I want to ask you to help find those who threatened him. With a clear goal, I will Good to know how to deal with these things next.”

  …

  Moori Kogoro generally does not interfere with the work of his peers. However, Jiang Xia happened to be his daughter's classmate, rounding it up, he watched him grow up, and he occasionally forgot that Jiang Xia was actually a "peer".

  Plus now, Jiang Xia not only doesn't seem to mind his meddling in the commission, but also seems to welcome it.

  Mori Kogoro no longer had so many scruples.

After listening to the client, he said casually: "From what you said, that Mr. Yoshimura seems to be a doctor. How is his medical skill? - A doctor usually comes into contact with a lot of patients, and often encounters life-and-death events. Maybe it's a treatment failure. Afterwards, the patients or family members he was responsible for held a grudge against him."

"Patients..." Kanda Joji lowered his eyes in thought, as if he had been inspired, "So, although his medical skills are good, in contrast, the patients he sees are often quite special, especially some of them His mental state is not very good, and he will inevitably do some things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand."

  Jiang Xia was thoughtful: "In this case, let's ask him about the situation first. Only he knows his own patients best."

  Paused, remembering that Dr. Kanda said that Dr. Yoshimura was afraid to go out, he added considerately: "If it is not convenient for him to come out, we can take the initiative to come."

  Moori Kogoro saw that they had discussed the follow-up after seeing them in a few words, and was slightly startled as if planning to get up immediately to find the person being threatened.

  Then he waved his hand and said decisively: "I won't compete with the younger generation for business, you go - come to me if you have any problems that cannot be solved."

  The food ordered just now was served, and it was steaming hot, which made people move their index fingers. At present, this commission is only in the visit stage, and it sounds like there is no danger that requires him to act. He just wants to eat quietly now...

  Dr. Kanda nodded, looked at Jiang Xia, and took out his mobile phone: "In this case, wait a moment, I will tell him first—if he thinks we are some kind of gangster who came to the door and attacked behind the door, things will be troublesome."

   As he spoke, he stood up and made a phone call at a place with few people nearby without disturbing the nearby diners.

   Soon, Kanda Joji returned to the table: "Okay, let's go. He happens to be at home now."

  Jiang Xia stood up, and Conan immediately jumped up to keep up.

  Moori Kogoro glanced at him in surprise: "Stop eating?"

   "..." Conan looked at the steaming plate of pork chop rice on the table, his stomach was rumbling, but he said calmly, "I'm not hungry."

  —Compared with the case, of course I choose the case. This is the awareness that all high school detectives should have! Just like Jiang Xia...

   Just thinking about it, when he looked up, he found that Jiang Xia had a bag of assorted meat rolls in his hand at some point, and he was chewing while walking.

   "...?" Conan followed him out of the store and couldn't help asking, "Where did you get it?"

  Jiang Xia glanced at him with a look of "you know what to ask again": "Of course I ordered it just now."

   A gust of evening wind blows, and the fragrance in the bag wafts out leisurely.

  Conan: "...cough, is it delicious?"
