"Very...filthy?"

Kinoshita Yoko had originally planned to actively avoid the conversation between the detective and the client, lest Jiang Xia's confidentiality of the commission would be affected by her - if there were rumors of leaks, the private detective's career might be affected.

However, at this time, after hearing this sentence, she couldn't help but hesitate a little, looked at Jiang Xia, and sat down again.

"..."

Seeing that he couldn't get her away like this, the magician realized it belatedly.

He immediately changed his words smoothly: "Oh, actually that's not the case - I'm telling the truth. My commission involves some people in the entertainment industry. Jiangxia and the others don't have much contact with this circle, so it's okay to hear it. But if Let’s talk about people you know for a while, and I’m afraid it might be a little awkward if you’re around.”

"So that's it." Kinoshita Yoko breathed a sigh of relief. Her curiosity was not that strong, and her suspicion was not too heavy. After hearing this new explanation, she felt relieved to follow the beautiful magic assistant and leave.

After they left, the magician kicked out all the others in the group, leaving only Okiya Subaru.

Okiya Subaru: "...?" Why is he the only one left? Is this magician also an accomplice of some secret? He doesn't want to listen to this person's commission, not at all!

...But when I think about enduring it until the performance is over, I can leave tomorrow. Before that, I don’t want to offend the core of this group. Okiya Subaru took a silent breath and finally endured it.

But soon, he discovered that he was wrong.

——The magician drove away the rest of the group and only let him stay. There was really a very necessary reason.

"Sit down." The magician motioned to the bench, and after Jiang Xia and the others took their seats, he sat opposite Jiang Xia.

Then he sighed and made a sad expression: "Actually, I specially invited the detective here today because I found that among our team members, there is someone who wants to kill me - I want you to help me find it. Get out of that person.”

Subaru Okiya felt powerless to do anything at this moment: hide away, fearing that what happened last night would happen again; just run away, but he didn't want to give up the glimmer of the coming dawn.

All kinds of thoughts were cluttered in his mind. He simply stopped thinking about these bad things and just ran errands and fetched water.

Jiang Xia took the juice he handed him, looked up at him, and nodded secretly: "..." It's almost enough, and Okiya Subaru should be mentally prepared enough. It's time to find an opportunity to let Wu Come out and talk about the beauty of Tokyo with this little brother who yearns for freedom.

While thinking about it, he took a sip of the juice in the glass.

Then I was surprised to find that the juice here was actually freshly squeezed and specially flavored. It tasted good and tasted better than those sold in professional stores. The quality of life in this magic group seemed to be quite guaranteed.

He simply raised his head and drank a few more sips.

Okiya Subaru came back to his senses, stared at a large amount of juice that had fallen into the cup, and hesitated to speak: "..."

According to his observations during this period, the relationship between the members of the magic troupe was a bit inexplicable and strange.

You can eat and drink here without fear of being accidentally injured... Is this the confidence of a famous detective?

Okiya Subaru: "..." Regarding this point, if you think about it on the bright side, Jiang Xia is extremely talented in reasoning. When he encounters Uzo's script in the future, Uzo should not let "I'm thirsty at the crime scene and want a drink." Water, accidentally ingested poison, and died suddenly. This comical script sent Jiang Xia, a detective who could rarely see through his line of reasoning at a glance, to another world.

But thinking about the worst, if one day Jiang Xia detects traces of the organization's existence and Wu Zuo wants to silence them, it doesn't seem to be difficult.

It seems that after running away, Jiang Xia still needs to be reminded tactfully. Not only because he couldn't bear to see the detective who had helped him die, but also because Uzo had to have something to do in order to ignore the subtle differences in his little brother...

…

On the opposite side, the magician originally wanted to make the situation more serious so that Jiang Xia would realize the problem and try his best to help him avoid the unknown danger.

However, after speaking solemnly, Jiang Xia did not respond, but looked at the glass of juice with admiration.

Magician: "..." Impolite young man. If this detective hadn't been invited by Miss Yoko, he would definitely kick this guy out and let him taste the beating from Party A.

Unfortunately, assumptions are just assumptions.

The magician imagined it freely in his mind, but in the end he could only inadvertently clear his throat forcefully to increase his sense of presence.

Jiang Xia was startled by him and came back to his senses as he wished.

After taking a second to recall what the magician had just said, Jiang Xia asked: "Are you talking about the person who sent you the 'dirty threatening letter'? Show me the letter first. There is often something written on it." With a lot of great information.”

The magician shook his head:

"Didn't I just say that it was just an excuse? I actually didn't receive the threatening letter. I just didn't want Miss Yoko to hear the conversation between us."

Dr. A Li was also drinking juice. When he heard this, he choked: "Then how do you know someone is going to kill you?"

The magician leaned back in his chair: "Although I didn't receive a clear threatening letter, there were some dangerous accidents during the last two rehearsals.

"The mechanical equipment on the ceiling actually fell down and hit where I was. If I hadn't been agile, good at observing, and avoiding in time, I might have been lying in the hospital or even dead."

"This kind of thing, only once, can barely be regarded as an accident, but twice in a short period of time... Huh, my luck can't be that bad! Someone must be targeting me."

After speaking, he stared at Jiang Xia seriously.

Jiang Xia handed the empty juice cup back to Okiya Subaru and motioned for him to have another cup. Then he clasped his hands on his knees and put on a serious expression like a magician: "When those accidents happened, the mechanical switch was nearby. anyone there."

The magician shook his head: "No matter how I look for it, I am the only one there."

Jiang Xia thought for a while and then asked according to the procedure: "Who in the troupe has a problem with you?"

The magician sighed: "Besides me, there are five more important members of our group - the others have no contact with me, and they don't think they will enmity with me. Just focus on investigating those five people."

Okiya Subaru, who was tinkering with the juicer with his back to them, said: "...?"

…Are you sure the others are innocent?

...I have only been in contact with you for less than half a day, and I already want to beat you.

Winter City Huanyang didn't notice the resentful aura coming from behind.

Conan, on the other hand, looked around cautiously, and finally his suspicious eyes crossed the back of the sofa and landed on Okiya Subaru.
