Chapter 10701070 [Popular Detective]
Secretary Sawada passed by Jiang Xia and glanced at his watch.
Jiang Xia waved his hand, indicating that he would not participate.
Next to him, Toru Amuro also did not leave his watch.
Jiang Xia turned his head and took a look at his watch: Although this thing is not as comprehensive and terrifyingly functional as the black technology modified by Dr. Agasa, it must have many functions that ordinary watches do not have, and he will not hand it over easily.
…
Those who participated in the "Count to 30 Seconds" game gathered in front of the stage one after another, holding the small flag used to report the time.
Toru Amuro always felt that someone was watching him.
His vigilant eyes slowly swept across the crowd participating in the game, and finally fell on a cute little girl - the girl looked about six or seven years old, with a headband on her head. She looked familiar and was also an acquaintance of Jiang Xia.
When he looked over, Toru Amuro realized that the little girl was not looking at him, but was secretly looking at Jiang Xia next to him.
Jiang Xia obviously also noticed the gaze from someone.
He lowered his head to look over there, but before their eyes met, Ayumi suddenly turned her head back, retracted her gaze, and pretended that she had not been looking at that side at all.
That "shy" and avoiding look is really cute.
Amuro Toru couldn't help but laugh and whispered, "You are quite popular with little girls."
Jiang Xia looked at Yoshida Ayumi's back suspiciously: "..." No, he always felt that it was not the case...
…
Ayumi withdrew her gaze from when she almost met Jiang Xia's, covered her face with her hands, felt her heart pounding, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Her secret to “counting silently for 30 seconds” is actually to count her own heartbeats - twice per second, and exactly 60 times in 30 seconds.
But there is actually a skill to this.
Normally, her heart rate is not so accurate. Only when it speeds up a little will it be as accurate as a stopwatch. For example, when she was camping with her friends and playing the "count to 30 seconds game", Ayumi's heartbeat only speeded up slightly because she was sitting next to Conan in the car and she was excited.
And now, Conan is not participating in the competition and cannot be next to him.
Ayumi: “…” Fortunately, standing near Brother Jiang Xia, thinking about the scene when he beat people, and the hand that just rested on her shoulder, and then thinking about the naughty things she usually did secretly with the members of the Junior Detective League... it can also have the effect of "accelerating her heartbeat"!
…
Amid the "boom" and "boom" of Ayumi's heartbeat.
Chairman Tokiwa's voice rang out from the stage again.
She raised her hand and signaled her secretary, Chinami Sawada.
Chinami Sawada had finished sending and receiving watches. She handed the watch basket to other employees, took a stopwatch, stood in front of the stage, and watched the guests participating in the game with a smile.
"After Ms. Sawada says 'start,' everyone can start counting silently," said Tokiwa Mio. "When you count to 30 seconds, please raise the chess piece in your hand. We will use this to determine your estimated time."
Sawada Chinami held the stopwatch, and after everyone indicated they were ready, she pressed the button: "Start!"
The stage was instantly filled with the sound of silent counting.
Thirty seconds passed in a flash, and under the complicated gaze of Amuro Toru, Jiang Xia took the opportunity to exchange business cards with several ladies next to him who had been staring at him for a long time.
After a few whispered words, people in front of the stage raised flags one after another.
At a certain moment, Chinami Sawada clicked to stop the stopwatch.
With an obvious pause sound effect, Chairman Tokiwa quickly caught sight of two people raising the flags simultaneously:
"To the guest holding the blue flag over there, and to the guest holding the purple flag - congratulations!"
After saying this, Chairman Tokiwa was slightly stunned.
——The two lucky people who guessed correctly turned out to be Maori Kogoro and Yoshida Ayumi, who visited with Maori Kogoro a few days ago. This group of people is really lucky.
"Huh?? I won? I actually won!"
Kogoro Mori was very shocked.
He was counting halfway when the naughty kid next to him pulled his hair and he immediately forgot where he was counting.
Seeing that people around him started to raise flags one after another, Kogoro Mori immediately raised his flag as well as tried his luck, but he didn't expect it to be stuck at the 30-second mark.
Ayumi Yoshida also jumped up happily and high-fived the excited young detectives who gathered around her.
After the attack, Ayumi remembered something, turned her head and looked at Jiang Xia.
Ayumi: "..." Although I don't dare to go over, I should be grateful and repay the kindness...
Thinking of this, she ran to the heartbeat accelerator and said, "Brother Jiang Xia, thank you! Well, if you want to ride a bicycle, you can come to me anytime and I'll lend it to you." - Maybe because she didn't have a driver's license, she had already assumed that she wanted the mountain bike instead of the cool sports car.
Jiang Xia nodded with a complicated expression.
Toru Amuro was deceived by the child's cute appearance and failed to see the truth of why Ayumi won the game. Although he didn't know why the little girl suddenly came to Jiang Xia to thank her, Toru Amuro had seen many strange and naughty children like Xiaobai and Conan who loved injections. When he suddenly saw a normal and polite child, his eyes couldn't help but become a little gentler. This is the future that the motherland should have.
He sighed and whispered with emotion: "What a lovely child."
Jiang Xia replied perfunctorily: "...Yes." What a clever little guy who deserves a beating.
As he said that, he suddenly reached out his hand at lightning speed and touched Ayumi's head: "Okay, thank you in advance."
"!!"
Ayumi Yoshida shuddered, and after Jiang Xia let go, she jumped away like a rabbit.
…
Kogoro Mori and Ayumi Yoshida, each relying on luck and strength, guessed correctly in 30 seconds.
But next, there is a process of "using scissors, paper, and hammer to decide whether it is a sports car or a bicycle."
Although Ayumi didn't deliberately let him win in order to get the bicycle, she is a capable person after all, while Maori Kogoro is a European emperor who sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
Without cheating, playing something like scissors, paper, and hammer requires a certain amount of luck...
"Haha! Sports car, here I come!"
At the end of the mini-game, Kogoro Mouri laughed out loud - he was qualified to drive the sports car home.
"Please invite the two lucky stars to come on stage."
Chairman Tokiwa smiled and nodded to the audience. She didn't have too many thoughts about the outcome of the game. The sports car and the bicycle were going to be given away anyway. "If you want, you can express your thoughts."
As he was talking, a man dressed as a secretary came running over. He whispered a few words to Kisaragi Fengshui, Kazama Hidehiko and other "important officials" of the Tokiwa Group, and the group quickly left the crowd and walked behind the stage.
After organizing the "Guess the Question for 30 Seconds" warm-up activity and showing his face, Chairman Changpan quietly retreated to the backstage to prepare for the official start of the opening ceremony.
