Chapter 1026 1034 [You also want to go to the building opposite]
Jiang Xia looked at Huihara Ai's back as she crawled into the cave for a while.
After she disappeared, he glanced at the courtyard wall again: "..."
Judging from the frequency with which this wall is bombed, it would be better to just chisel a door in it… But on second thought, the location of the hole is different each time, and if we really insist on making the best of it, the whole wall will probably become full of holes.
"..." Forget it, let Dr. Agasa work harder and repair the wall diligently - maybe when repairing the wall and chatting, the doctor will talk about some interesting old friends, and then take him to visit...
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at the hole in the wall again and suddenly found it much more pleasing to the eye.
He looked forward to the future of visiting relatives and friends, then came to his senses, found his motorcycle, and prepared to go to the detective agency.
…
However, before arriving at the place.
When passing by the street near the Maori Detective Agency, Jiang Xia's eyes paused.
——There is an acquaintance at the street corner ahead.
Suzuki Sonoko had just gotten out of the subway and was waiting for the red light.
Hearing the sound of the engine, she turned around and saw Jiang Xia. She immediately waved happily and ran over: "Good morning!"
"Good morning." Jiang Xia lifted the hood of his helmet and responded. For a moment he couldn't tell whether Suzuki Sonoko was really saying hello or if her thoughts and words didn't match.
However, he soon discovered that it should be the former.
——Suzuki Sonoko has apparently had a phone call with Mao Li Ran and has some understanding of the effect of the "User Confidentiality Clause".
She was not a person who would take things too seriously, so she didn't make any messy attempts. She quickly pulled Jiang Xia and headed straight for the Maori Detective Agency diagonally in front of her.
…
Jiang Xia remembered the client he had an appointment with and originally wanted to refuse.
But he looked up at the three-story building where Conan, Kogoro Mori, Ran Mori, and Sonoko Suzuki were, was silent for a moment, and finally joined the team quietly.
Jiang Xia: “…” If you think about it carefully, when a normal person encounters such a deadly “game”, it is normal for them to put their work aside and discuss the situation.
As for the customers...
There are actually quite a few other detectives on that street. Although their bosses are unreliable and often absent, there are still some dedicated people.
Jiang Xia sent a message to Qingtian Yumei, asking her to help with the reception.
Then he dropped his cell phone and followed Suzuki Sonoko upstairs, occasionally glancing behind him to see if there was any murderous client coming to Kogoro Mouri to place a commission.
…
The second floor of the office.
Kogoro Mouri was dozing off in the room, Conan had disappeared and Ran Mouri was the only one in the living room.
She was standing by the phone, whispering something.
Hearing someone coming into the room, Mao Lilan hung up the phone and turned around. Seeing Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko, she sighed: "Shinichi too..."
She didn't say the rest, just shook her head.
The two classmates quickly understood what she meant: Kudo Shinichi was also unable to say anything related to the "game" - the anonymous "hypnosis technique" seemed to be terrifyingly advanced. It did not affect their memory, but it actually interfered with their expression.
…
The three of them sat sadly on the sofa, drinking tea and eating snacks, trying to break through the restrictions of the "User Confidentiality Clause" by using methods such as "inadvertent blurting out" and "hinting".
But after trying for a while, there was no effect.
At this moment, the door opened gently.
Jiang Xia looked towards the door and saw Conan sneaking in.
Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko followed Jiang Xia's gaze and saw Conan come in. They were stunned for a moment and then stopped talking.
——In the "game" last night, Conan used the appearance of "Kudo Shinichi". Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan didn't know that this "child" in front of them had been involved in the game. So they didn't continue to try related topics.
They were worried that if they really succeeded in telling Conan about things related to the "game", Conan would be dragged into it for "knowing too much"... It's better not to let children come into contact with such a scary script.
…
The three of them then turned to talk about other things.
Suzuki Sonoko remembered something and smiled as she moved closer to Mao Lilan: "Ran, do you know Kamimori Michi?"
When Jiang Xia heard them suddenly talking about someone else, he unconsciously turned a little towards them and listened attentively.
"Michi Uemori? She's the chef who specializes in French cuisine, right?" Mao Lilan knew this person. She was the one who cooked for the family. She was very interested in cooking and included "famous chefs" in her fan following. "I even bought her new cooking book."
When Suzuki Sonoko heard Mao Lilan's yearning tone, she immediately smiled and secretly calculated:
"A while ago, Michi Kamimori opened a cooking training class, and I signed up. The next class is the day after tomorrow evening, but I happen to be busy that day... Why don't you go to the class for me, and then come back and teach me what you learned that day?"
——It’s true that I have something to do the day after tomorrow night, and it’s also true that I don’t want to go to class.
Suzuki Sonoko thought of Michio Kamimori's violent temper and sighed sadly in her heart.
Next to her, Mao Lilan's eyes lit up. She didn't expect to have such a chance to get close to a famous chef.
Seeing that she was excited, Suzuki Sonoko elaborated, "The class time is from 6:30 to 9:30 in the evening. The location is not far from the Nishitama Twin Towers that I went to yesterday - it's in the tall building opposite it. You can also enjoy the scenery during the break. The night view is great."
After saying this, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help feeling a little guilty as she watched Ran Mouri becoming more and more yearning.
She cleared her throat and added hesitantly:
"However, there is one thing that is not so good about it - Kamimori-sensei's actual personality is different from the kind appearance she usually shows in public. Her temper... is... well..."
A voice floated over and summed it up for her: "Very fierce?"
"Not fierce." Suzuki Sonoko put a finger on her chin, thinking about her words, "She's very strict, a little sarcastic, and likes to find fault... But Xiaolan is good at cooking, and this is the first time we meet, so she shouldn't be difficult."
After saying this, Suzuki Sonoko was slightly stunned.
——She suddenly realized that the person who answered the question just now was not Mao Li Ran, but Jiang Xia.
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly looked at Jiang Xia, a little surprised: Jiang Xia is also interested in French cuisine?
"..."By the way, Jiang Xia lives alone and probably has to cook for himself usually... Hey, I have to find a chance to have a meal and try Jiang Xia's cooking skills...A gleam of anticipation flashed in Suzuki Sonoko's eyes.
Just as I was thinking secretly, a discordant voice interrupted me from the side.
"In Nishitama City, classes don't end until 9:30 at night?"
Kogoro Mori woke up at some point.
He pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on the conversation of the young people for a while. Seeing that Mao Lilan looked like she really wanted to go, he interrupted and said, "No! It's too late, and it's too far. It's not safe!"
