Chapter 1929 1937 [Grand Event Shakes People]

Not long after, Jiang Xia received an invitation letter and a phone call.

——Unlike the letter from a suspicious person that Jiang Xia had been expecting, the ones who came to him this time were actually the Metropolitan Police Department and Inspector Megure: the inspector came to him to talk about the police's routine safety briefings.

"No one listens to dry preaching, and it makes our work seem rigid and increases people's resistance to the police."

Inspector Megure explained the cause and effect of the incident to him: "So we plan to hold a food event at the same time as the lecture, and the two will be held together. Isn't the event location in the square? At that time, we will invite various restaurants to drive their food trucks to the square on that day and set up stalls in the square.

"Then our Metropolitan Police Department will organize a band, and citizens who come to participate in the Rice Flower Food Festival can listen to music and attend lectures while visiting food stalls. It will be a joyous occasion and create the effect of a temple fair. The publicity effect will definitely be very good!"

Jiang Xia agreed: "It does sound good...so why did you look for me?"

Inspector Megure sighed and complained, "The original plan was for me to be the speaker on the day of the event, but the Metropolitan Police Department didn't make the schedule right, so the event happened to fall on a weekday.

"The publicity department now says the publicity effect is too poor. Few restaurants agree to send their vehicles, and not many people are interested in participating in the leaflets distributed to citizens. If this continues, the event will not be able to be held.

"So those guys asked me to come and ask you if you are free that day. If you are free, why not let you give the speech... Well, of course, we also need to use your reputation to promote it."

Jiang Xia looked through his schedule and found that although the invitation came at a moment's notice, he didn't have any commissions or plans to go out with his classmates that day.

So I agreed decisively: "Okay, I will go when the time comes."

The food festival sounds very lively, and I'm sure you'll meet a lot of interesting people.

...If there really aren't any, then bring some interesting people with you.

With this in mind, Jiang Xia cooperated with the police to the point of moving them to tears. He recorded the promotional video, took photos for the flyers, and then quietly waited for the festival to begin.

…

After all, he is a detective from Beika-cho, and Jiang Xia's reputation is particularly useful in Tokyo, especially in Beika-cho and Haido-cho.

Therefore, although the promotion period was short, the final effect was still so good that the Metropolitan Police Department was moved to tears. They re-planned the stalls. They were originally worried about how to arrange the scattered food trucks to create a magnificent effect. Now they are worried about how to arrange the food trucks in an orderly manner so that traffic will not be blocked.

That night, Inspector Megure, as a former speaker, looked at the latest developments of the campaign and sighed with a complicated feeling.

He took a puff of his pipe and said with emotion: "After all, it has become a world dominated by young people."

Mrs. Megure happened to pass by and asked: "What are you talking about? Were you very popular when you were young? Like Jiang Xia?"

It seems like he is complaining, but also like he is testing.

Inspector Megure: “…” No matter what the situation is, based on his experience, he can only have one answer in the end.

His desire to survive exploded, and he said seriously, "No, I kept my virginity when I was young, just waiting to meet you in the future."

Mrs. Megure smiled happily: "Sweet talk."

But at the same time, she did not forget to clear the name of the cute little detective in her eyes: "Remember to change your words next time. It seems like Jiang Xia is a playboy. It's really ungrateful and ruining his reputation."

Mumu Police Department: "..."

I almost forgot that my wife seemed to have made a collection of clippings about Jiangxia.

"Ah." Inspector Megure waited for her to leave and sighed again, "As expected of Brother Jiang Xia, he has gained so many fans without even realizing it."

…

Not long after the promotion was released, Jiang Xia received another unexpected surprise.

——He received an anonymous letter, which was placed in the mailbox of Amuro Detective Agency at some point.

"The sender is very attentive." Jiang Xia praised the ghosts a few times, "Not only did he choose a rare color for the envelope so that I could notice it at a glance when I picked it up, but he also chose the time when I go there most often - this way, when I open the cabinet door, I can see the letter from this person first."

As he spoke, he opened the envelope and saw a printed letter inside.

The letter expressed a subtle condemnation of Jiang Xia in the tone of a helpless little girl, but did not clearly state the specific reason - as if Jiang Xia was the butterfly flapping its wings in the butterfly effect, and the sender suffered heavy losses because of the hurricane he caused.

At the end of the letter, she said that she hoped to find time to talk to Jiang Xia, but did not specify the time and place.

"If this letter, which is full of contradictions and anomalies, were sent to Conan, he would have been filled with curiosity and would have been eagerly waiting for this person to come to him."

Jiang Xia figured out the mental journey that a serious detective might have, and followed his example, also looking forward to that person's arrival.

But this letter reminded him.

——Speaking of anticipation, it would be too boring to go to such a lively food festival alone.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia flipped through his address book, intending to randomly pick some lucky friends and reunite with them in the square of the food festival.

The people pinned at the top are, of course, his good classmates who love traveling and joining in the fun.

"Unfortunately, that day was a weekday, and Xiaolan and Sonoko were in class. They have been absent from classes too many times recently, and this kind of food party held at their doorstep may not be attractive enough for them to miss another day."

Jiang Xia sighed. As a considerate detective, he couldn't pester his classmates to skip classes because of this. That would be too deliberate.

Without the two female high school students taking the lead in skipping classes, Conan, an elementary school student, would of course have no choice but to go to school at Teitan Elementary School obediently.

but……

"The elementary school finishes school very early, so Conan might be able to make it here in time... Anyway, send him an invitation first."

Jiang Xia sent an email to Conan.

After thinking for a moment, he thought of the Junior Detective Team again - after all, the power of an individual is not as good as that of a team, and he hasn't seen those kids for a long time, so he missed them a lot when he mentioned them.

It's a pity that those kids seemed to have a little prejudice against him. If he really sent an invitation, those kids would not come... Fortunately, the food court was not far from their route home from school. Hopefully, when those kids saw the excitement, they would come over and join in.

…

Speaking of the schedule, Jiang Xia thought of another person.

"Hashimoto Maya has also returned to Tokyo. If you stay in hiding all day, you'll probably get sick. Let's ask him to come out and relax."

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia opened the address book and found Hashimoto Maya's name.
