Chapter 1149 1157 [Arrogantly plotting in front of Uzo]
"Haha, that's right."
Hearing Mrs. Morokaku say this, Soga Misao smiled like a charlatan: "The entrance to the house represents the entrance to good fortune. Placing round-mouthed pottery ornaments here is very beneficial from the perspective of feng shui."
As he spoke, he glanced calmly at the three young men who were eavesdropping at the gate, then walked decisively into Mrs. Zhujiao's house and said to the housewife who was alone at home, "Let's go inside and talk."
With that, he ruthlessly clicked the door shut, locking the three detectives out.
“… Turns out he’s a Feng Shui master.”
Hattori Heiji was not interested in the charlatan. He looked at the two teammates next to him and said, "Mrs. Morokaku said she doesn't want to entrust us anymore. Should we wait a little longer or go back directly..."
"What are you doing blocking my sister's door?"
Suddenly, a female voice came from behind.
Hattori Heiji was startled and turned his head to look, only to see a woman with long flowing hair and heavy makeup coming into the courtyard gate.
If you look closely, you can see that she looks somewhat similar to Mrs. Zhujiao.
Jiang Xia turned around and looked at her, answering enthusiastically: "We are here to do a commission - Mrs. Zhujiao said that she has been feeling poor sleep quality lately, and feels that there are suspicious people walking around... Do you have any clues?"
"...Haha, how could I possibly have any clues? I'm not suspicious." Gondo Keiko smiled unhappily, "Okay, don't block me here and delay my work."
As she spoke, she pushed aside the people at the door and walked towards her sister's house.
"..." The detectives were very insightful. Looking at her back, they always felt that this woman was very guilty.
Just as I was eavesdropping, I heard Mrs. Zhujiao's roar again. Her attitude was similar to that of the antique shop manager just now: "Didn't I tell you not to come?!"
"Oh, don't be angry." Gondo Keiko gave her sister a flattering smile, "My luck is not very good this month, and I lost all my money. Can you lend me 100,000... No, 50,000! I have seen the crystal ball, and I will definitely win a lot next time!"
"Get out!" Mrs. Zhujiao pushed her out of the door.
Gondo Keiko stumbled a few steps before she could stand firm. She looked at the door that had closed again, took a deep breath, and walked away angrily.
…
Considering that there are too many suspicious people appearing, and Mrs. Zhujiao's temper is too bad.
The three detectives decided to wait nearby and see what was going on.
"A Feng Shui master who sells pottery jars, a fortune teller who loves to look at crystal balls... this family is quite superstitious." Hattori Heiji laughed as he recalled what happened just now. "If we add a psychic, we'll have all the suspicious people."
"Cough cough..." Jiang Xia was drinking juice when he suddenly choked.
"..." However, if you think about it carefully, what does a "psychic" have to do with a detective like him.
And it is obvious that the "medium" that Hattori Heiji refers to is the kind of psychic in the island country who can see spirits and exorcise ghosts, which is completely different from him.
——When Jiang Xia first came to this world and tried to find murderous aura and ghosts, he also went to the vicinity of some famous "island psychics".
...I don't want to see other people's ghosts. I just want to confirm whether there are still ghosts and murderous auras in this world.
However, after a round of visits, the psychics had neither murderous intent nor ghosts. However, one guy had a serious expression when he saw Jiang Xia, saying that he was haunted by a fierce ghost... Unfortunately, the fact proved that this blessing was completely fabricated.
…
Hattori Heiji and Conan heard Jiang Xia's movement, but obviously didn't think much about it.
Conan seemed to want to pat Jiang Xia on the back, but when he raised his hand, he suddenly found that he could not reach him at all, so he had to put it down as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Xia also picked up the drink can and continued drinking as if nothing had happened.
After drinking, he looked at his watch and felt that nothing would happen to Mrs. Zhujiao for the time being.
So he quickly found a stone block to sit on, put his chin in his hand and pretended to think, but in fact he shifted his vision to Mist Tengu, letting the fastest flying ghost follow this gradually familiar neighborhood, and go straight to Okiya Subaru's house to visit him.
…
Originally, when Jiang Xia floated out, he was thinking that it was such a nice day, what if Okiya Subaru didn't want to waste time at home and ran out to play.
But it turned out that he was overthinking it.
After driving the Ghost to the apartment building I had visited the day before, passing through the glass, and squeezing into Okiya Subaru's house.
Jiang Xia not only saw Okiya Subaru, he was also slightly surprised to find that there was a large amount of emergency food stored in the house, and even frozen fruits and vegetables... It looked like they were planning to stay in the house until the end of time.
Jiang Xia: “…” Living at home like this is such an unhealthy life.
It seems that I have to let Subaru Okiya go out to complete more missions in the future, otherwise what will happen if he dies young - he doesn't look like the kind of person with deep obsessions, so if he dies, he may only be able to transform into a shikigami.
…
The person who was being cared for by his boss was typing away on the computer, but suddenly he sneezed.
Okiya Subaru turned his head, frowned, looked out the window, and then looked at the door.
But there was nothing to be seen, not even the cat that often came to visit.
He heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head secretly, as if he was a little sad about his own vicissitudes of life. In the past, although there were often deaths around Okiya Subaru, there were always some signs before those people died, such as quarreling with someone, or doing something bad, or when they met an emotional guy, they would keep their mouths shut and act like a riddle...
In short, this made Subaru Okiya feel that "I can avoid it."
But now, since being dragged to serve as Uzo's subordinate...
Okiya Subaru: "..." Alas, what has life done to such a cautious student like him.
...The only consolation is that the escape date has been set and freedom is just around the corner.
Subaru Okiya looked at the news on the webpage and his mood quickly calmed down.
…
In a level that Subaru Okiya cannot see.
Jiang Xia focused his eyes on Mist Tengu, flapped his wings and flew closer, then landed arrogantly on his subordinate's shoulder.
From this good reading angle, the image displayed on the screen is very clear.
At first glance, it was all densely packed with English - Okiya Subaru seemed to be browsing the homepages of various American universities, occasionally clicking on relevant information about professors and laboratories. He looked quite serious and was still comparing and thinking, as if he was about to transfer there at any minute.
Jiang Xia: “……?”
He touched his chin, like a class teacher standing at the back door, saying nothing and watching in silence.
After watching quietly for a while, another thing happened that surprised Jiang Xia.
——After looking up information about American universities, Subaru Okiya actually started searching for information about London’s climate, environment, and customs.
