Corpse collector in Conan
Chapter 159 There is no conflict between materialism and prayer
Suzuki Sonoko failed to leave with her friends - the landline phone in the Yotsui family villa didn't work at all and seemed to be just a decoration.
And just now, when they came to call, they found that the lights in a section of the corridor of Si Jing's house were broken.
This made Suzuki Sonoko deep in thought, and even a little sympathetic - from this point of view, it is not easy for the Yotsui family. The birthday party invited so many people and was held in such splendor, but secretly it was too poor to pay the phone bill...
Unable to get through the phone call, they had no choice but to return to the living room. Anyway, Chairman Si Jing will send a car to pick him up by the next morning at the latest.
Jiang Xia walked downstairs with the other three people.
In the hall downstairs, Reika Yotsui and her suitors were sitting at the table, playing cards.
Jiang Xia looked over one by one and gradually identified this group of people with obvious characteristics. The names of the suitors are also very distinctive, Ichige Takashi, Nikaido Yuji, Mifune Takuya, Gojo Osamu, Rokuta Shoji - just looking at these huge numbers, more than one person will die tonight.
Shijing Reika held a handful of cards. Seeing Jiang Xia and the others approaching, she casually invited: "Do you want to play?"
Jiang Xia thinks it's OK. He just needs to get some background information from this group of people so that he can reasonably spoil it later.
The table was large and the figures sat in a circle, with space around each person.
Jiang Xia moved a stool aside and sat down next to Yi Zhilong, who was full of murderous aura. The environment here was very comfortable for a psychic.
Suzuki Sonoko doesn't want to play with Yotsui Reika and her harem.
But seeing that Jiang Xia had quickly integrated into it, she silently swallowed her rejection and went to drag the stool.
Both of them had already joined, and of course Mao Lilan followed. Not to mention Conan, he had no choice, he didn't even touch the cards, and was regarded as an accessory of Mao Lilan.
The scene turned into a group of people playing cards together.
During the game, when the round was over, Reika Yotsui felt that the dress she was wearing was not convenient, so she went back home to change into regular clothes.
Others were sitting at the table, chatting and waiting for her.
While chatting, a lot of information came out - this group of people, including Reika Yotsui, used to be members of the yacht club and often went out for diving and fishing together.
The word "before" is used a bit delicately, as if everyone has withdrawn now.
Suzuki Sonoko nodded indifferently: "I understand, I understand. It should be that the Yotsui family is in financial difficulty and cannot afford to repair the yacht. Of course, the club cannot maintain it."
Conan always felt that there was something else hidden.
He was about to ask, but at this moment, a man with a ponytail took the initiative to plant flags: "Yes, it was a really wonderful time... It's a pity that such a tragedy happened two years ago."
The others were startled and hurriedly stopped talking. They agreed not to mention this incident again.
Conan's expression changed slightly. He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart - he didn't know if it was a coincidence or something. Every time Jiang Xia was present, he would just mention "the tragedy x years ago" or something like that. Topics can lead to bad things happening.
But... the world is scientific, no matter how coincidental it seems, this is just a pure coincidence, and it has nothing to do with Jiang Xia's presence or not. Yes, that must be the case.
Conan recited the theory of materialism several times in his mind, but still felt a little weak.
In the end, I had to pray secretly, hoping that tonight would be a Christmas Eve.
…
The digital harem refused to disclose the details, so Jiang Xia did not ask further questions. He would have asked them sooner or later anyway.
And he wasn't curious either. With spoilers in hand, Jiang Xia knows what the mysterious "tragedy" is.
——Two years ago, the members of the yacht club encountered an unexpected storm and were separated from Reika Yotsui. At that time, a girl named Nanao Yaeko went to save Reika Yotsui alone, but was robbed of her life jacket by Reika Yotsui and Nikaido and died tragically in the sea.
Ichiji Takashi liked Nanao Yaeko. He guessed the situation at that time and decided to avenge his love.
At the same time, because Nikaido and Yosui Reika experienced this disgraceful past together, Nikaido privately threatened Yosui Reika to choose him as her husband.
…
Under the obstruction of others, the pony-tailed man finally did not speak out about this "tragedy".
But the old members of the yacht club knew it well. After experiencing this episode, the atmosphere in the living room inevitably became dull.
The digital harem had no intention of playing cards, and only then realized that one person was missing.
They looked at their watches: "Why hasn't the eldest lady come down yet?" Does it take so long to change clothes?
The maid, Granny Mi, stood up and said, "I'll go up and take a look."
five minutes later.
The old woman came back in confusion: "...the eldest lady is not in the room."
"...Oh!" A young talent suddenly had a whim, guessing that this situation occurred because Reika Yotsui felt that she had been left out, so she took the initiative to hide and wait for them to find it - this was a brush A great opportunity to have high favorability, marry Yotsui Reika, take over the Yotsui Group, and reach the pinnacle of life...
He jumped up: "I'll go look for it!"
The others were stunned and quickly reacted, shouting "I'll go too!" "Wait for me!" and chased out in a chaotic manner.
Jiang Xia looked at their backs, hesitated, and did not get up.
He is not here to choose a son-in-law today, and he is not familiar with Reika Yotsui, so it would seem a bit abnormal to follow her now.
And...those people will have to come back here later anyway.
——If I remember correctly, although Reika Yotsui is still in the villa, she has been knocked unconscious and hidden to be slaughtered, making it difficult to find easily.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, the digital harem came back in a chaotic manner.
This time, their expressions finally became more serious - after searching for a while, they could not find Reika Yotsui.
