Chapter 1059 1067 [Hurry up and bring Akai Shuichi up]

Compared with a few ordinary suspects, Conan's focus quickly shifted to the matter of "Gin", and he began to think about what the opening ceremony of this time had to do with Gin.

Jiang Xia turned his gaze away from Conan and looked behind him.

——As an active elementary school student, Conan certainly didn’t come here alone.

Behind him, the Mori father and daughter, Suzuki Sonoko, Professor Agasa, and the members of the Junior Detective League also arrived.

"Sorry for the wait!" A figure ran over happily, stopped in front of Jiang Xia, and shook his head as if inadvertently.

Jiang Xia looked towards Suzuki Sonoko, his eyes fixed on her hair that had suddenly become curly: "......?"

He looked up and down at this "same hairstyle as Haibara Ai" and fell into deep thought.

——Didn’t I take some time out to find Suzuki Sonoko a few days ago and praise her for her beautiful straight hair?

Why now…

Jiang Xia thought about it and sighed tiredly: Girls of this age really only believe in their own aesthetics. To be honest, the same hairstyle as Huiyuan Ai does look good. The only problem is that it is easy to attract the attention of some sharks with bad eyesight...

…

Sato Miwako stopped beside the police car and looked at Suzuki Sonoko in surprise. It took her a few seconds to recognize her: "Your hair..."

"How about it? It looks good, doesn't it?" Suzuki Sonoko said with a firm tone, flicking her hair, as if introducing the origin of a work of art, and proudly said with her head held high, "It was that little girl who gave me the inspiration!"

At this point, she suddenly remembered something, stopped posing, and looked at the kids from the Junior Detective Team: "Hmm? Where's that quiet and aloof little girl?"

Conan stared at Suzuki Sonoko's hairstyle and was speechless for a moment.

Yoshida Ayumi glanced at Conan, not wanting to give him a chance to talk to the beautiful older sister, and answered jealously: "Ai said she has a cold and doesn't want to go out."

"I see..." Suzuki Sonoko recalled the quiet appearance of Huihara Ai, shook her head and sighed, "Children need more exercise. When she gets better, remember to take her out to play more often."

…

When Jiang Xia heard what Yoshida Ayumi said, he was secretly confused: Last night, Haibara Ai seemed to say that she was planning to come over and play?

...So where is she?

At this moment, Miyano Akemi on his shoulder suddenly moved and reached out to pat Jiang Xia's ears.

Jiang Xia was startled, his eyes slightly shifted, and he looked in the direction she pointed.

I saw a child's figure flash by in the corner of the building, and Huihara Ai took advantage of the guard's inattention and quietly slipped into the building.

Her hair was dyed black with Dr. Agasa's quick-acting dye, and she carried a small schoolbag on her back. She didn't go with her acquaintances, probably because she was worried that the "trial" would be exposed and implicate them.

…

Jiang Xia watched Huibara Ai sneak into the building.

Then he silently threw a ghost at her.

Miyano Akemi's invincibility skill can only be effective against the main body. Throwing her out is useless.

So Jiang Xia sent out the very fast flying Mist Tengu.

With the psychic card locator, Jiang Xia didn't look over there again.

He looked away and saw Suzuki Sonoko's expectant eyes. He praised her politely, "Very beautiful." Don't perm your hair anymore...

Suzuki Sonoko was satisfied, and walked happily into the building with Mao Li Ran on her arm.

Conan also followed, staring at Suzuki Sonoko's head all the way, looking quite worried about it.

Behind them, Ayumi Yoshida silently looked at Conan's back.

Seeing Conan staring at Suzuki Sonoko intently, she lowered her head sadly and crossed her fingers - it turned out that Conan didn't like Sister Xiaolan, he just liked the older sister.

And myself...

Ayumi Yoshida looked at her younger self and suddenly felt a longing for the adult world.

She hooked her fingers around the soft black hair beside her ears and thought secretly: How about getting a perm tomorrow?

Just as she was thinking about it, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder and patted her comfortingly.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xia's voice, with a hint of fatigue, came from above:

"You are beautiful like this, no need to change your hairstyle."

When Yoshida Ayumi recognized the owner of the voice, her whole body froze: "..." Brother Jiang Xia knows nothing about hairstyles - just like dad always says that watermelon heads look the best... Men's words are deceitful.

but……

Ayumi turned her head like a robot, and saw Jiang Xia's hand on her shoulder. She couldn't help but think of the time not long ago when this hand was also on the shoulders of a bunch of bears, and then she would pinch them, throw them over, and then step on them and beat them with a stick...

Yoshida Ayumi shivered: "I, I understand. Then I won't be hot anymore."

Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief: innocent and cute children are the least worrying.

…

Several people walked into the building one after another.

The opening ceremony was about to begin, the guests had already taken their seats, and the entrance became quiet again.

Inspector Megure looked at Jiang Xia's back as she disappeared into the twin towers of Nishitama City and sighed, "I hope tonight is Christmas Eve."

Miwako Sato: “…” Although there is no evidence, she always feels that it is unlikely.

…

The Nishitama City Twin Towers are two buildings of similar height, built side by side, connected by two bridges more than ten meters long in the middle.

The banquet hall where the opening ceremony was held is on the 75th floor of Building A.

It was not yet dark. Jiang Xia and others went up to the roof.

He entered the banquet hall and glanced across the hall illuminated by electric lights and dim sunlight, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

——Neither Akai Shuichi nor Okiya Subaru appeared here.

"..." But think about it: even if those two people come, they should be more sneaky - after all, theoretically, Okiya Subaru is just a tool responsible for installing the bomb. He doesn't need to come to the banquet today, he just needs to stay nearby as a bomb maintenance worker, and he doesn't need to show up.

...You have to be patient. Even if Akai Shuichi doesn't show up now, he will definitely show up later.

…

With the feast in front of him, Jiang Xia was in a calm state of mind.

Remembering that he hadn't had dinner yet and that he hadn't felt comfortable eating in front of a crying client at noon, he walked to the dining table and got some desserts.

While eating, he casually looked around the hall.

The banquet hall was quite large, with some food and drinks placed in the middle. On the western side was a large stage. On the right side of the stage was a low cylindrical display cabinet with a bright red sports car parked on it - Ford's latest convertible sports car, with a galloping horse as its logo.

Jiang Xia looked at the car that was used as a decoration, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the layout looked familiar.

...Also, the waiter who was walking leisurely by the car also looked familiar.

Just as I was thinking about it, the "waiter" stopped with a tray.

The man seemed to be extremely sensitive to sight and looked back at Jiang Xia in an instant.
