Chapter 115 These people are very suitable to be witnesses
Jiang Xia pushed the door open, walked to the counter like every customer who came to order food, and ordered a drink.
While looking for a seat, he passed by Maori's table.
Then, as expected, I was called.
Mao Lilan waved at him happily: "What a coincidence! Are you here to see Miss Yoko's concert too?" She remembered that Jiang Xia often lent her father some hard-to-buy albums, probably because she was also a fan of Miss Yoko.
Jiang Xia nodded, and took this opportunity to successfully join the professional ghost picking team - the others were responsible for luring and production, and he was responsible for picking.
He walked over to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
…
Across the table, Kogoro Mori looked pale and seemed to be hesitant to speak to Jiang Xia.
Kogoro Mori is a fan of Yoko Kinoshita.
Of course he also bought tickets for tonight's concert, but when he touched his pocket just now, he found a hole on the inside of his pocket - the ticket had fallen somewhere.
Just when he was getting anxious, he luckily met Jiang Xia - Kogoro Mori remembered that Jiang Xia had a good relationship with Kinoshita Yoko, so he wanted to keep a low profile and rely on Jiang Xia's connections to get a ticket.
However, asking a junior to help him through the back door always feels a bit embarrassing...
Kogoro Mori was too embarrassed to speak and struggled with his words in his mind.
…
Opposite him, Jiang Xia didn't seem to notice his thoughts. He was concentrating on holding the paper cup and drinking juice silently with his head down.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Xia would have sneaked into the venue with Maori Kogoro without saying a word - even if the door was closed, he would have chiseled through the wall to send the neighbors in, and then happily listen to the concert with them, and by the way, check to see if there were any lost ghosts.
But today…Uncle Maori could take other paths.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia shifted his gaze slightly and fell on the short-haired woman next to the public phone.
The woman wore a wide black headband on her forehead - this was a bonus accessory included with Yoko Kinoshita's commemorative edition album, which was just released yesterday.
The short-haired woman, Qingdao Quandai, called several times before the other end finally answered.
The entire Qingdao team showed a delighted expression.
However, after just hearing one sentence, she realized that she had been stood up.
Suddenly, he flew into a rage: "You can't come because you have a cold?! Why should you rest for such a minor illness! You don't think it's easy to get concert tickets? I don't care, you come and pick me and my sister up right now!"
She was responded with the sound of "beep" and "beep" as the other party hung up the phone.
Qingdao Quandai's face looked extremely ugly, and she slammed the receiver back onto the phone.
There weren't many customers in the store, and the store wasn't very big. The sound spread easily.
Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up when he heard the conversation between Qingdao Zendai and him. He keenly caught the two key words "concert tickets" and "can't come".
——He immediately realized that he had the ticket.
Kogoro Maori stood up and walked to Qingdao Quandai, wanting to buy the extra ticket.
Qingdao Quandai pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "No need to buy it, just use the ticket. It would be a waste for me to keep it anyway. But you have to do me a favor..."
…
The "help" proposed by Qingdao Quandai was to ask Maori Kogoro to take her to her sister's place, and then drive the two sisters back to attend the concert.
Kogoro Mori readily agreed and felt that he had made a good deal.
After getting in the car, he started the engine and habitually glanced at the rearview mirror, and suddenly found that there was an extra person in the back seat.
Maori Kogoro turned around and looked at Jiang Xia in confusion: "Why are you following me? Did you lose your ticket too?"
Jiang Xia held the straw in his mouth and made up an excuse perfunctorily - Kogoro Mouri was easy to fool in his normal state, so he could just say something casually.
But before he could say anything, Mao Lilan suddenly raised her hand and pressed it on her father's face, pushing Mao Li Kogoro's head straight: "Isn't it better this way? It's more lively with more people."
...After meeting them, Jiang Xia must have suddenly realized the beauty of being with friends and didn't want to go to the concert alone, so he followed them. But what his father said actually meant that Jiang Xia should get off the car... This is too much!
Thinking of this, Mao Lilan snorted, crossed her arms and said without room for negotiation: "There is enough space in the back seat - Conan doesn't take up any room. When Miss Qingdao gets on the bus, if there are not enough seats, I can hold him."
Jiang Xia caught a glimpse of Conan stiffening out of the corner of his eye.
Then he saw this naughty elementary school student blushing silently. At the same time, Conan turned his head and secretly gave Jiang Xia a grateful look of "Well done!"
Jiang Xia: “…” You have lsp eyes so everyone you see is an lsp.
…
Qingdao Quandai sat in the passenger seat.
On the way, she chatted with several people very talkatively.
"My sister, Mina, and I are both big fans of Ms. Yoko. Mina is getting married soon and is a little anxious. So I specially got tickets for this concert and wanted to invite Mina and her future brother-in-law to the concert."
Qingdao Quandai said this and sighed, "It's just that tonight, my brother-in-law suddenly said that he had a cold and couldn't come to pick us up. Meicai also didn't show up and didn't answer the phone... He must be angry because that guy broke the appointment."
Kogoro Mori is not interested in these family matters.
He took a look at Qingdao Quandai's headband and asked curiously, "I've always wanted to ask, is that thing on your head..."
"It's a gift from the album released yesterday. In addition to this, there's also a keychain of the same style." Qingdao Quandai pointed to the headband with "yoko-" printed on it.
After saying that, she was a little surprised: "You don't have any?" Since I can get tickets for Miss Yoko's concert, I should be able to buy yesterday's album.
Maori Kogoro sighed, his expression a little sad and angry: "I almost bought it! But I met a talkative client on the way, which delayed me. That guy will definitely not buy it--"
As he spoke, he pointed to Jiang Xia in the back row and said, "He helped Miss Yoko solve a case before, and he also appeared on the 'Perspective Detective Agency' with Miss Yoko, so they have a good relationship. So his albums were all sent directly by Yoko, and there were no gifts in them."
There was a hint of pride and boasting in Kogoro Mori's words, as if he knew Miss Yoko!
He originally thought that as a fan of Yoko Kinoshita, Qingdao Zendai would show envy or even scream when hearing this.
In fact, the reaction of the entire Qingdao generation was even more exaggerated than he expected.
——She froze in place, and the key ring in her hand fell onto the armrest box with a click, then slid down the lid to the ground in the back seat.
"..."These people...are actually detectives?!
