Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 104 Anonymous Resignation

  Shirley has never been a combative person, or even the exact opposite – when she encounters a fatal crisis, her mentality will become very depressed and she lacks the desire to survive.

   Now, suddenly being thrown into an unfamiliar place, coupled with the threat of the anonymous organization behind Xiaobai, Shirley did not try to escape, and never even showed similar intentions.

   After she woke up, she had a peaceful meal, calmly gave herself a new name “Haihara Ai”, and calmly looked at his invention at the invitation of the doctor…

   Just as Haibara Ai was staring at the strange-shaped props, thinking about how to give a less hurtful look, the door of the doctor’s house was knocked and someone walked in.

   Haibara Ai turned her head and froze suddenly.

  …Jiangxia? !

   She secretly hid behind the doctor, pulled up the hood that came with her clothes, and covered the top of her head.

  Why did Jiangxia come? Did the organization send him to search for him?

  … must not be recognized. Otherwise, everyone here will die, including Jiang Xia who discovered the side effects of APTX4869.

  Fortunately, Shirley took a closer look and found that the situation seemed to be fine.

   As soon as Jiang Xia entered the door, he walked towards the doctor with a clear goal. This means that he may have only found traces of “Shirley”, but not that she has turned into a child.

   Thinking so, Haibara Ai sneaked away while Jiang Xia was talking to Dr. A Li, trying to hide first.

   However, just after taking a few steps, footsteps approached behind her, and the surrounding light suddenly dimmed.

  ——Jiang Xia walked behind her.

   Haibara Ai stared at the shadow on the ground, her whole body froze. She gritted her teeth, raised her hand slowly, and clenched her hood in a dying struggle.

   Jiang Xia walked around in front of her, looked down at her for a while, and reached out to her.

   Haibara closed his eyes mournfully, and had foreseen a tragic future where he would be picked up by the neck and questioned.

   In the next second, she suddenly flew into the air.

  …but the neck doesn’t hurt.

   Haibara Ai was startled, slowly opened his eyes, and was surprised to find that he was being held under his arm.

   Jiang Xia looked at her with interest for a while, then suddenly tossed her up.

  Haihara Ai let out a short exclamation, grabbed Jiang Xia’s wrist subconsciously, and was caught by him again. Jiang Xia carried her and weighed it a few times as if playing with a toy.

   Haibara Ai gradually went from panic to numbness: “…?” What are you doing?

  … Could it be that Jiang Xia actually vaguely associated her with “Xue Li”, but he couldn’t accept this situation that violated the law of conservation of matter, so he suddenly held her to see how much she weighed?

   Jiang Xia pressed a few more times. After realizing that Haibara Ai was no longer so startled, he put the person down indifferently.

   The shrunken version of Shirley is quite cute, and the reaction just now is much more interesting than Conan. It’s just a bit short-lived.

   Jiang Xia patted Hui Yuanai’s head regretfully.

  Haihara shuddered as if he was overwhelmed by an electric shock, and wrote “Want to run” all over his body, but in the end he still stood stiffly and didn’t move, trying to pretend to be an ordinary child.

   Soon, Haiyuan Ai discovered that she seemed to have successfully concealed it—Jiang Xia did not suddenly lean down and whispered something like “I found you”.

   He just put his hand down and looked at the doctor: “Who is this child?”

   “She…” Dr. A Li originally wanted to tell Jiang Xia the truth, because according to Conan, Jiang Xia had already observed “Conan = Kudo Shinichi” and was considered an insider.

   However, before speaking, the doctor thought for a second and felt that it was not very good – Jiang Xia didn’t seem to know about the Black Organization, and if he introduced Huiyuan Ai to Jiang Xia, it would be difficult to avoid that mysterious organization.

  If Jiang Xia knew about the existence of the black-clothed organization, he went to investigate without authorization, then he would undoubtedly be very dangerous. Even the fact of “knowing that there are black-clothed organizations in the world” can easily lead to silence.

  Thinking of this, the doctor rationally predicted the result of “his lying ability vs Jiang Xia’s insight”, silently retracted what he was about to say, and changed his words: “She is my friend’s child.”

   As for whether or not to tell Jiang Xia the true identity of Hai Yuanai, and how to tell Jiang Xia, I’ll discuss it with Conan later…

   Haibara Ai kept her ears pricked up, nervously eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

   Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was inevitably a little worried—the turning point of the doctor’s words was too blunt, once Jiang Xia asked…

   Fortunately, Jiang Xia didn’t ask any further questions.

   He didn’t seem to care about this and left soon.

  Haihara Ai looked at the closed door: “…”

  Aren’t things… a little too smooth?

   Also, it doesn’t seem to be her illusion – Dr. A Li looks like she is very familiar with Jiang Xia…

   After realizing this blind spot, Haibara Ai recalled what happened before, and suddenly realized that Jiang Xia went straight to Dr. A Li after entering the door. He didn’t want to ask the adults in the family, but he came to see the doctor at all!

   Thinking of this, Haibara Ai suddenly realized something.

   She hurried to the door and looked out.

When    looked at the neighbor’s house across the street, Haibara Ai stayed where she was as if struck by lightning.

  …that’s Jiang Xia’s home.

   Although neither she nor her courier have ever been able to enter Jiang Xia’s house. But a while ago, when Shirley was investigating Kudo Shinichi, she had passed by this block, and she was very impressed by this exquisitely designed single-family house. Wait, so to speak…

   Haibara Ai turned her head and looked to the other side.

   Into the eye is a more familiar house that she has sneaked into twice – Kudo Shinichi’s home.

Haibara Ai:”……”

   She looked left, looked right, and became confused as never before.

  … Anonymous put her in such a delicate place, what is the conspiracy?

  …

   Jiang Xia didn’t stay at the doctor’s place for too long.

   He played Shirley for a while, satisfied his curiosity, left Akimi Miyano and went back to his home.

   Jiang Xia sat on the sofa and rolled up a few boxes of ghost mint.

   After a while, Miyano Akemi, who had had enough of her sister, floated back contentedly.
