Chapter 2072 2080 [The Importance of Disguise]

Jiang Xia saw Conan's gloomy eyes. Then he remembered that he got on the car in a hurry and didn't have time to introduce the two sides.

The seats on this Shinkansen were opposite each other. Jiang Xia and three of his classmates were in one group, and the other four were in another group. Fortunately, the space was wide and there were not many people in the carriage, so it was convenient for chatting.

Jiang Xia then added the introductions, and he said to Mrs. Xun and Xun Zhengwan who were sitting in the back seat: "These two are my classmates, and this one..." He patted Conan's head and thought for a moment, "This is my former schoolmate."

We all went to Teitan Elementary School.

Conan: “…”

Jiang Xia then introduced them to several classmates: "These two are my clients, and the taciturn Ms. Shirai next to them is the lawyer they hired. Ms. Shirai only looks introverted, but she is actually a very cheerful person and very talkative. You can talk to her more when you have time. There is not much difference in age between us, so we should be able to chat together."

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan didn't mind having an extra companion. Shopping and visiting attractions would be more fun with more people: "Okay."

Curacao: “…” What’s so good about that? Don’t listen to his nonsense and don’t come to chat with me!

Hashimoto Maya: “…” So in Jiang Xia’s eyes, Curacao is a talkative and cheerful person?

"No wonder we occasionally saw them talking together before. This woman actually has two faces. I don't know what conspiracy she is up to. I should remind Jiang Xia to be careful of her..."

Hashimoto Maya was halfway through her thought when she suddenly felt something was wrong: "Jiang Xia could even detect Uzo's existence, so how could Curacao hide it from him? Maybe this detective is just trying to test her by maintaining a friendly facade, just like stabbing me in the back from time to time."

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Jiang Xia say, "And Mr. Hashimoto, you must have met him several times, so I won't introduce him to you - he seems a little tired recently. It's rare for us to travel together, so we must invite him if there is anything fun."

Hashimoto Maya: “…”

Sure enough, he started backstabbing again!

...But what can I do? I can only keep smiling.

And from the facts, Jiang Xia's suspicion was actually correct. Not only was he an outlaw, but he was also an undercover agent specifically placed beside him.

As Hashimoto Maya thought about it, she sighed sadly.

He looked a little strange, but Conan had already known that he was a suspicious guy, so now, Conan's eyes fell on Curacao rather than Hashimoto Maya.

Conan: "..." I feel like I've seen her somewhere before. Where exactly...

Curacao looked out the car window, pretending not to notice the scrutinizing eyes around him.

She thought about the classmates she had met Jiang Xia, and she began to feel lucky that she would disguise herself every time she appeared. Although the extent of the change was not as great as a disguise, there was still a big difference between the two different styles of makeup. Without seeing her original appearance, it was hard to tell that this was actually the same person.

Curacao: "..." So how did Uzo always recognize her accurately? Is there really someone who is naturally so observant?

When Curacao thought about being forced to do tasks beside this man, his shoulders sank and he felt oppressed by tremendous pressure.

Different from what the members of the organization were thinking, Mrs. Xun's thinking was obviously closer to that of ordinary people. She eavesdropped on the conversation between Suzuki Sonoko and Jiang Xia, and she felt something was wrong - were they going to attend that wedding too?

Mrs. Xun is very happy to establish friendship with the rich, but...

Mrs. Xun: "If we go too, it will be too much of a bother."

Suzuki Sonoko waved her hands repeatedly: "More people is better! And it's safer too."

Mrs. Xun was startled, and felt that this was a bit strange: "Safe?"

Why would attending a family friend's wedding be associated with the word "safety"? Was there something extremely unsafe about that wedding?

"!" Suzuki Sonoko realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and covered her lips in embarrassment.

But then I thought: I've already let it slip, and it's not a very secret piece of information, a lot of people know about it, so I might as well just say it.

She then lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Actually, I heard that there seems to be another hidden story behind this wedding."

Jiang Xia was very interested in this kind of thing: "Tell me in detail."

With the help of the supporting actor, Suzuki Sonoko was even happier: "The one who is going to get married is Ohga Shinya, who is of the same generation as me. The Ohga family is now ruled by their old lady, and Shinya is her eldest grandson.

"I heard that the old lady was very unhappy with the person Shinya was going to marry, and the others couldn't accept it either, so until the wedding was set, their family had been arguing for a long time."

Xun Zhengwan was curious: "Why are you not satisfied? Is it because the fiancée is too ugly or has a bad temper?"

Suzuki Sonoko glanced at him and thought that this guy didn't speak well, but he was barely a good listener who could respond. She scratched her head and said, "I don't know, maybe they think that the fiancée is not a good match?"

As he was speaking, the carriage door opened and the conductor came over pushing a cart filled with snacks and groceries.

Conan wanted to drink something after hearing the story, so he stopped the cart and thought about what to drink. After thinking for a while, he said, "A can of oolong tea."

Almost at the same time, the person sitting across the aisle also said, "Give me a can of oolong tea."

Jiang Xia turned around and saw a handsome but tanned young man.

The flight attendant smiled and went to get the drinks, but was slightly startled when she saw the remaining drinks on the dining car. She turned to the young man awkwardly and said, "Sorry, sir, there is only one can of oolong tea left."

The dark-skinned man said tolerantly, "It's okay, just give it to that little brother."

Conan was quite righteous and said to the flight attendant: "No, give it to that uncle. He ordered the oolong tea first."

The man just now did speak a little earlier than him. The rigorous detective would not ignore any details.

While the two were being polite, Jiang Xia took advantage of the chaos to glance at the pile of bottles and cans, and then found with regret that there was no beer.

He then ordered a can of Coke at random, opened it and drank it slowly.

At this time, the dark-skinned man asked the flight attendant for a paper cup. He opened the can with a pop, divided the oolong tea in half, and handed it to Conan: "Here, half for each of you."

Conan was stunned and took the cup: This guy is quite nice.

…

After distributing the drinks, the attendant pushed her van away again.

There was no obstruction between the seats on both sides, and the two sides started chatting about what had just happened.

Dark-skinned man: "Are you guys traveling on the weekend too?"

Hashimoto Maya: “…” No, we come out to work overtime on the weekend.
