Conan’s Corpse Picker

The upright baseball player looked moved. He looked at Mrs. Su Fang and said, "It's so touching. I will do my best to help you organize the charity dinner next week!"

The photographer sighed: "Actually, my wife died in a car accident 20 years ago. It is fate to be able to attend this charity dinner. If my wife is alive in heaven, I will be very happy."

Mrs. Su Fang glanced at him, secretly tightened her grip on the cup, but then quickly smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you all."

…

After dinner, everyone went back to their guest rooms.

Jiang Xia had just packed her luggage when she heard a knock on the door.

He opened the door, and there was a smiling maid standing outside. Naoko Tormaru bowed and saluted: "Good evening, Mr. Jiang Xia. Mrs. Su Fang invites you to the living room on the third floor to discuss matters."

The door of the guest room next to it suddenly opened - Suzuki Sonoko had just packed her luggage and was about to go out to have some fun. When she walked to the door, she heard a movement.

She blinked her eyes and said decisively: "I'll go too!"

Toriyama Naoko's eyes twitched and she said warmly: "Sorry, Mrs. Su Fang only invited Mr. Jiang Xia."

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes suddenly became suspicious: "Is there anything we can't hear and we have to talk about it so late at night?"

Don't think she doesn't know, there are a lot of weird things in the entertainment industry! And that Mrs. Su Fang has been in the entertainment industry for most of her life. Who knows if she wants to take the opportunity to do something.

In the entrance hall of the guest room next to her, Maya Hashimoto stood behind the door, listening quietly, nodding while listening: "..." It was true that he suggested Jiang Xia to bring this rich man over, and as expected, the conspiracy from the rich grandma was immediately shattered.

However, the detective involved didn't seem to think anything was wrong.

Jiang Xia said to Suzuki Sonoko: "Maybe there is a commission for me. I'll go over and have a look."

Maya Hashimoto: "..." No! What if that person with a bright tongue lets you join her agency? Compared with Mrs. Su Fang, I was obviously the one who came first, so Holmes and Watson should spend more time together!

However, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't hear his inner cry. The female high school student was persuaded by Jiang Xia. She bulged her non-existent biceps: "That's right. Okay, if you call us if you have something, I'll take it with you right away." Xiaolan kills it!"

Maya Hashimoto: "..."

Could it be that he had to stop it in person?

That's right, he is Jiang Xia's assistant now. If there is really a commission, wouldn't it be very reasonable for his assistant to go with him?

Thinking this, Maya Hashimoto, who was gradually getting involved, opened the door and pretended to be alarmed by Suzuki Sonoko's voice: "What's wrong? Why are you gathering at the door so late?"

When Torimaru Naoko saw him going out, she kept a smile on her face, but her body tensed silently.

In an instant, the aroma of fried eggs filled the air around Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia couldn't help turning her head and glanced at the maid who was suddenly filled with murderous intent: "..."

Hashimoto Maya is really surprisingly useful. It can squeeze aloe vera when placed next to Curacao, make coffee next to Toru Amuro, and fry omelettes even when placed next to a close colleague... This Usa subordinate His new little brother is really unpopular.

There was a hint of sympathy in Jiang Xia's eyes, and she sent a little care to this despised subordinate, and answered Maya Hashimoto's question just now: "Mrs. Su Fang seems to have something to ask me for."

Maya Hashimoto forcibly resisted her instinct to "keep a low profile" and acted like a serious assistant: "Is it a commission? I'll go with you."

Seeing Jiang Xia actually want to nod, Torimaru Naoko repeated: "Mrs. Su Fang only invited Mr. Jiang Xia."

Maya Hashimoto glanced at her and realized that the previous induction was not an illusion: this woman really seemed to have a trace of hostility towards him that came from nowhere.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." Colleague?

There were too many members of Uzuo's subordinates around Jiang Xia. Maya Hashimoto now gradually calmed down. He said seriously: "It's okay. I'll go over and have a look first. If Mrs. Su Fang just wants to talk to Jiang Xia alone, I'll come back then." That’s it.”

Even if it couldn't stop Mrs. Su Fang and Jiang Xia from being alone, it could at least prevent the maid and Jiang Xia from being alone on the way back and forth - the two old employees, Suzuki Sonoko and Conan, were enough for him, and he didn't need a few more new employees to join in. .

As soon as the words fell, Maya Hashimoto and Naoko Toriyama looked at each other, and invisible electric sparks seemed to be stirring in the air.

Jiang Xia didn't care about the exchange of eyes, but she saw that the aroma of iced tea and fried eggs was getting stronger.

So he didn't rush and waited very patiently. However, this scenario could not last forever.

Torimaru Naoko quickly remembered her identity as a maid, and Hashimoto Maya had already mentioned this. Of course she couldn't make decisions for Mrs. Su Fang, her employer, so she had to bow her head obediently: " Okay, then I’ll take you two there.”

As soon as she turned around, her gentle and sweet eyes darkened: the cunning minions of Uzo were indeed difficult to deal with - she originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of being alone on the road to remind Jiang Xia that "Maya Hashimoto is an undercover agent sent by Uzo". Let Jiang Xia be careful about that guy with evil intentions.

However, Maya Hashimoto seemed to be on guard against her and insisted on following her... Oh, she would never give up!

…

Toriyama Naoko suppressed her murderous intention towards Maya Hashimoto and led the two of them up to the third floor and to Mrs. Su Fang's small living room.

This place was made into a living room that looked like a showroom - the surrounding cabinets were filled with various trophies and certificates, announcing Mrs. Su Fang's impressive achievements over the years.

As expected, Maya Hashimoto was sent out by Mrs. Su Fang. He and Naoko Tormaru stayed outside the door, and Jiang Xia entered the living room alone.

The heavy door closed.

Mrs. Su Fang obviously didn't know that there was someone outside who was unilaterally involved with her.

She spoke to Jiang Xia alone simply because she didn't want her request to be heard by more people.

After entering the room, Mrs. Su Fang was not in a hurry to talk. She opened a bottle of red wine, drank it slowly for a while, and chatted with Jiang Xia about other things.

When the relationship between the two parties seemed to be getting closer, she spoke carefully: "By the way, in addition to the charity dinner this time, I also want to entrust you to help me investigate something."

Jiang Xia watched the ghosts carrying their murderous aura back from the door one after another, and leaned against the sofa comfortably: "You tell me."

According to the normal procedure, most clients will ask detectives to investigate the collage threatening letter from the "Messenger of the Curse Mask".

However, Mrs. Su Fang may have received too many similar letters, but she did not take them to heart at all.

She was talking about another thing: "At dinner just now, Mr. Katagiri said that his wife had a car accident 20 years ago and died as a result - I hope you can help me investigate the details of the car accident."
