Chapter 2650 2662 [Akai, are you hungry?] Ask for a monthly ticketヽ(〃〃)~

Hashimoto Maya: "..." Why are you asking me? How would I know why that female magician insisted on using white roses? Or, how would I know why Lord Usa wanted a bunch of white roses to appear here? ... Anyway, these flowers are not for me. Maybe they are used to add grace to the death of some unlucky person.

Thinking of this, he handed the unlucky white flowers to Conan without any reluctance: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Conan, who was trying to find a way to trick the flower over to take a look, said: "???"

He held the bouquet of flowers that he had easily obtained, feeling the coolness of the plants in his arms. For a moment, he had an absurd feeling as if he had just stepped into the maze and reached the end: "..." Wait, could it be that he had been wrong before, and this bouquet of flowers was not actually a trading item of Hashimoto Maya, but just an ordinary bouquet of fresh flowers?

"No, we can't underestimate these guys from the organization." Conan secretly reminded himself not to be careless. "Perhaps because Jiang Xia was next to him, Hashimoto Maya was afraid of this detective and worried that if he was too protective of the bouquet, Jiang Xia would find out. So he took the initiative to stuff the flowers into my hands, wanting to take a gamble that I wouldn't be able to find the problem... But in the final analysis, why did he agree to come along in the first place?"

The more Conan thought about it, the more he felt that the guy in front of him was full of mysteries.

"I don't know how the interrogation went after Inspector Megure arrested the man next to Hashimoto Maya." Conan sighed in his heart, "It seems that I have to find time to inquire about the situation over there. Perhaps combined with this, I can deduce the truth behind the matter."

As he thought about it, Conan pretended to be surprised and ran away with the bouquet of flowers in his arms.

"Anyway, since he said he gave it to me, I can't let him down. I have to check it carefully." Conan snorted in his heart, "If Hashimoto Maya really wants to retreat and get away with it, then he has made a wrong calculation."

…

At Mr. Zhengying's house, everyone is busy with their own things.

On the other side, an FBI put on his headphones, listening to the clanging sound of vegetables being cut, the sizzling sound of frying, and the humming sound of the oven, and sighed silently.

Akai Shuichi: "..." It was a mistake. I shouldn't have put the bug on Suzuki Sonoko. If I had known this, I should have tried to put it on the magician. Although there would be a risk of being discovered, it would be better than just being able to listen to a cooking live broadcast like now.

...Come to think of it, he hasn't had dinner yet.

The hunger in my stomach made the already boring eavesdropping even more torturous.

…

"The meal is ready."

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan didn't know that there was an eavesdropper with mixed feelings in the distance. They successfully turned two large bags of fresh ingredients into a steaming hot dinner and brought it to the table.

Jiang Xia was chatting with Hashimoto Maya. When he heard this, he looked around and asked, "Where is Conan?"

"That's the bedroom over there." Hashimoto Maya raised his hand and pointed. He was actually a little curious about what the insidious kid was quietly fiddling with, but he was worried that he would step into a trap if he went over to check - but now that Jiang Xia was with him, it wasn't a big problem!

Sure enough, when Jiang Xia heard this, he did not hesitate and went over very naturally.

The bedroom door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and Hashimoto Maya quietly poked her head out from behind Jiang Xia.

When he saw the scene in the room clearly, his heart skipped a beat: on the ground behind the door, the bouquet of flowers had been torn into pieces. Among the white petals, Conan was squatting beside the corpse of the white rose, fiddling with the wet floral mud.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Conan was startled. He turned around and explained awkwardly: "How did you get in? - Well, I heard that the flower petals are good for the skin. Uncle Hashimoto gave me this bouquet of flowers, so I wanted to pick them and try."

Hashimoto Maya: “…”

"Alright, alright, stop explaining. Everyone knows you're a pervert who learned from a big pervert." Hashimoto Maya muttered to herself, "What the book says is true. Perverts are born that way. If you start dismembering innocent flowers at such a young age, won't you dismember living people when you grow up?... Wait, come to think of it, I gave him these flowers. Could it be that this is what he wanted to do to me?!"

Maya Hashimoto has never hesitated to assume the worst of his colleagues. But when he looked at the flowers on the ground, he felt a chill on his back.

Suddenly, he remembered something and turned to look at Jiang Xia: With Jiang Xia's keenness, he must be able to detect the evil hidden in this kid's heart - quickly, find out these things, and then drive this mentally twisted kid away from you! In this way, Lord Wu Zuo might be disappointed in him, and then the fittest will survive... and this little scourge will be nipped in the bud.

However, perhaps that innocent and cute appearance was too deceptive, Jiang Xia nodded, as if she did not doubt Conan's explanation.

He simply said: "Go wash your hands, it's time to eat."

"Okay!" Conan said in a hoarse voice, cleaned up the scene, and trotted off to the bathroom.

After turning the corner and leaving the sight of the two people behind him, he sighed silently.

"There really is nothing in that bouquet of flowers." After repeated confirmation just now, Conan could only accept this reality helplessly:

"Could it be that my thinking was wrong from the beginning - the real key thing has been secretly handed over to someone else by Hashimoto Maya, and the conspicuous flowers in his hand are to attract other people's attention so as to help his hidden accomplice escape smoothly? ... Damn, I was careless! This guy is really cunning."

When primary school students and organizational cadres are fighting wits and courage with the air.

In the restaurant.

Mao Lilan set the plate, looked up, and felt something was missing: "Where are Mr. Iida and Miss Himemiya?"

Masakage's wife: "Iida should still be sleeping. He is too busy with work. Whenever he comes here, he likes to rest in the innermost room on the first floor. I'll go call him - Xinghe, go find where Zhanzi is."

Xinghe Tongwu stood up upon hearing this and laughed: "Do we even need to look for her? Zhanzi used to like staying in that room and never came out. She must be there now."

"'That room'?" Suzuki Sonoko repeated curiously, "Which one?"

Xinghe Tongwu explained: "It's my master's room - there are many photos of him winning awards, various magic materials, and some small props he made before..."

At this point, looking at the two high school girls' shining eyes, he understood and said, "This is a rare opportunity. Do you want to go up and take a look together?"

"!" Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were excited and nodded repeatedly. That was the secret base of a legendary magician. "Of course!"

Another person who was not in the room also experienced emotional fluctuations.

Shuichi Akai adjusted his headphones silently: "..." After listening to cooking for so long, I finally heard something useful.
