Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 1968 1968【Exposed】

Although the task of "waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Jiang Xia" is anxious, it is a long-term task after all and can be done at any time. Apart from this, there seem to be other more pressing matters to deal with at present.

"Buy the theater on that island, as well as the old site of the Crystal Restaurant."

After Hashimoto Maya left the bar, he immediately started investigating these two places.

While checking, I grumbled bitterly in my heart: "The theater on the island, huh, what a bad memory. I thought I could at least stay away from the disputes between Uzo and Mr. I took it to Uzo's favorite theater. I was actually targeted by Uzo, let me see which unlucky island this is... Suzuki Ayako?"

This seems to be Suzuki Sonoko's older sister, the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family.

"..."

The moment he found out the name of the island owner, Maya Hashimoto fell silent for a moment.

... The guy who brought money into the group was really not easy.

Maybe that place was suggested by Sonoko Suzuki to Uzuo. Heh, a female high school student who helps the evildoers.

While condemning his colleagues in his heart, he checked the relevant agent and sent an email to express his intention to purchase.

Then check the second place.

"The water crystal restaurant explosion, oh, I remembered, isn't this the story of the crazy newspaper bartender who lost his sense of taste, according to the order of the playing cards, killing people with thirteen in their names all the way to one." Qiao Ben Moye looked at the huge amount of case information that appeared on the screen, "Jiang Xia went to the bottom of the sea, and then the restaurant under the sea exploded. The detectives swam out from the bottom of the sea... Why did Wu Zuo choose the location here? Could it be used as a dangerous A wonderful memory after killing Jiang Xia?"

It's hard to guess the sinister intentions of the boss. Anyway, what happened before has nothing to do with him, so Hashimoto Maya didn't think about it. He also sent an email to the agent here, and then quietly waited for the result.

...No, you can't wait quietly.

The rule of "resign from Wuzuo if the performance is not up to standard within one year" was like a sharp knife hanging over his head, Maya Hashimoto couldn't sit still, and stood up: "I'd better plan how to get close to Jiang Xia first. "

...

On the other hand, as a boss who thinks he is considerate, Jiang Xia also admires his new subordinates quite a lot, thinking about where he should meet Hashimoto Maya by chance, so as to give him a suitable conversation.

Unexpectedly, Maya Hashimoto didn't meet him for the time being, but when he passed by a restaurant, he ran into Kogoro Mori's family sitting inside.

"..."

Jiang Xia stopped in front of the restaurant window, hesitated for 0.1 second, found out her mobile phone and sent a message to Hui Yuanai:

[I don’t need to keep my portion today, I’ll eat out. ]

Then he approached the restaurant: "What a coincidence, you guys are eating out too."

"Jiang Xia?" Mori Kogoro has a good impression of this neighbor, not because Jiang Xia often sends him first-hand goods from Yoko Kinoshita, but because this kid is a detective, but he is humble, respectful and respectful to his seniors, not like Shin Kudo at all. That kid deserves a beating as well.

However, when he met him while eating, Kogoro Mori felt his heart skip a beat. The next moment, he said to the waiter who was helping to order at the table: "Swap the udon noodles I ordered for a sandwich."

Conan didn't react at first.

After the waiter left, he looked at Jiang Xia who was sitting next to him belatedly, and said in a low voice, "Why are you here? There won't be another client of yours nearby, right? There is still a case?"... Should he also learn from Uncle Maori and change to a food that can be carried at any time?

Jiang Xia took a sip of the ice water on the table, and then said innocently: "What are you talking about, it seems that if you meet me, you will definitely encounter a case. I just passed by here and saw you, and it's time for dinner again , so come to try the dishes here too—this restaurant is newly opened, it’s my first time here.”

Conan was suspicious: "I understand the truth, so why do you order fried shrimp rolls?"

Jiang Xia said confidently: "Because I'm busy, what if a VIP customer finds me urgently in the middle of the meal."

Conan: "...?" When did your business upgrade to VIP?

...

Although Jiang Xia was prepared to be called away by the case in the middle of the meal, unexpectedly, until the end of the meal, nothing happened nearby.

He wiped his mouth and sighed inwardly, a little disappointed. However, considering that I lived close to Mao Lilan and Conan after all, and had many chances to meet each other, I couldn’t understand why there were cases every time, so my mentality quickly returned to peace—this restaurant tastes good, it’s considered It's a surprise, I can come here often in the future.

I thought that the peaceful day would end like this, but I didn't expect that just as I left the restaurant, a fat middle-aged man suddenly passed by the restaurant door.

When he turned around and saw Mori Kogoro, the fat man pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in surprise, "Maori?"

"Huh?" Mori Kogoro followed the prestige and said in surprise, "Omura? Long time no see!"

Jiang Xia looked over, his eyes swept across the face of the middle-aged man, and found that he had seen this man before—this seemed to be Jun Omura, a classmate of Mori Kogoro University's judo club.

The two old classmates exchanged some pleasantries, and Jun Omura suddenly remembered something and sighed: "By the way, I happen to have something I want to ask you for help."

"Looking for my help?" Mori Kogoro yawned, "You lost your pet, or do you want to investigate an affair?"

"No, it's another commission." Atsushi Omura sighed, "Recently, every night, in the apartment where I live, I can always hear some strange noises."

Jiang Xia also came over, looking very interested.

When Omura Jun saw that there was another detective here, he immediately felt relieved, and he said in detail: "It's that kind of sound like a hard object hitting a wall, and there is a sudden 'dong' sound."

Mori Kogoro scratched his head: "Hard object hitting the wall? Is it a prank by the children nearby? Don't underestimate those brats, they will do everything when they get mixed up."

As he spoke, he knocked on the head of Conan next to him.

Conan, who was also listening attentively to the commission: "???"

It's none of my business to play a prank on a bear kid!

On the opposite side, Omura Jun shook his head with a worried look: "I thought so too at first, so every time the sound rang, I rushed to the window to check. But the sound has been going on for a week, Until now, I haven't managed to catch anyone once."

"The only time it was different was last night." When Omura Jun said this, he couldn't help but frowned, with a serious expression on his face:

"I heard the noise last night, rushed to the window to look, and saw a black cat sitting quietly under the street lamp in the distance, and the cat was staring intently at the downstairs of my house.

"I followed its gaze, and vaguely saw two tall figures in black—that head is definitely not a child, it might be two outlaw lunatics who are planning to commit a crime!"
