Chapter 126 The indifferent Huiyuan begs for monthly tickets 罽罒
Conan couldn't get through to Jiang Xia's phone, so he called Dr. Agasa's number instead.
Tequila was too close to the explosion point and was blown to pieces, so he could not be identified. Conan never thought that the "member of the terrible and mysterious organization" would be killed by an ordinary person.
Therefore, in Conan's mind, Tequila was not the one who was bombed, but the one who planted the bomb. It just so happens that the Black Organization also has a criminal record - Gin planted a bomb on the Shinkansen.
In short, at present, Conan’s imaginary enemy is still Tequila.
…
Unlike Jiang Xia, Dr. Agasa's call was connected very quickly.
Conan didn't have time to explain and asked directly: "Is Jiang Xia with you?"
"He's not here. What's wrong?" Dr. Agasa touched the back of his head in confusion, and then looked out the window at Jiang Xia's yard. "He doesn't seem to be home either. I didn't see his motorcycle."
…
Next to her, Huihara Ai was leaning on the sofa, looking through a nutritional menu.
At this moment, she found that the matter seemed to be related to Jiang Xia. She hesitated for a moment, put down the recipe as if nothing had happened, and moved closer to eavesdrop.
The volume of Dr. Agasa's phone call was high.
Huihara Ai successfully heard Conan's voice on the other side, and then heard Conan say solemnly: "I met someone who is suspected to be the Black Organization today."
He briefly stated what happened today and his reasoning.
…
At first, Huihara Ai looked solemn.
However, when she heard Conan say, "Jiang Xia might have discovered the suspiciousness of those men in black like I did at the time, secretly chased them to investigate, but ended up being met with...", she yawned and walked away without interest.
Jiang Xia was too lazy to check the organization's affairs, for example, a valuable former researcher of the organization lived next to him, but all he thought about was the menu.
"..." However, although Jiang Xia will not "investigate the organization", if there are indeed official members of the organization at the press conference... it is very likely that those people will cause trouble for Jiang Xia.
Huihara frowned and flipped through the two pages of the menu, unable to concentrate at all.
After thinking for a while, she took out her phone and sent a message to Jiang Xia tentatively: [What to eat tonight?]
Jiang Xia didn't reply.
Haibara Ai nodded calmly: This is normal, after all, not everyone is staring at their phones all the time, let’s check again later.
She threw her phone aside casually.
Half a minute later, Huiyuan Ai leaned forward expressionlessly, picked up her phone, turned on the screen and took a look, only to find that there was no reply. So she threw the phone away again.
Another half a minute passed, I opened it and saw still no reply.
…
After repeating this seven or eight times, Haibara Ai silently reached out and picked up the phone that had been thrown away N times, and placed it on her knees.
From this angle, even if she was looking at a recipe, she could immediately see the lit screen.
…
Five minutes passed and the screen finally lit up.
Huiyuan Ai picked up her phone and saw Jiang Xia skillfully ordering dishes: [Curry rice, sweet, don’t put too many vegetables]
Haibara Ai automatically ignored the last request, replied with a short "OK", and then put down the phone with peace of mind.
This reply letter, whether from the speaking habits or the content, is completely in Jiang Xia's tone.
It’s me.
…
When she finished replying to the message, Dr. Agasa went to Jiang Xia's house and found no one there, so he picked up his coat and planned to go out with Conan to look for someone.
Haibara Ai glanced at his back, hesitated for a moment, and did not tell him about her recent contact with Jiang Xia.
What happened today might indeed be related to the organization. No one knew what Jiang Xia was doing or what she was planning. If she suddenly revealed any extra information, it might disrupt Jiang Xia's plan.
Also... the content of the text message is not suitable for the doctor to see.
After all, in the doctor's eyes, Jiang Xia did not have the right to order dishes. Every time, Huibara Ai "cooked too much" and then she gave the extra part to Jiang Xia. The doctor also lamented that she and Jiang Xia had similar tastes.
If he saw the text message, helping Jiang Xia to hide his identity would undoubtedly cause trouble...
So after the doctor hurried out, Huihara Ai took out her cell phone, edited a message and sent it to Jiang Xia: [Your neighbor is looking for you].
…
Jiang Xia was indeed a bit busy in the afternoon, mainly because there was a problem when handing in the commission.
——The wife who commissioned him to check the mistress was just doing it on a whim, similar to a physical examination when she was healthy to make herself feel at ease. Who knew that after checking, she found out that her husband really had a mistress, and the mistress was her best friend. The client stared at the photo, shocked and burst into tears.
Although Jiang Xia did not open the crying companion service, he was too embarrassed to play with his phone in front of the client. He could only sit with her with a heavy face and listen to her sobbing as she recounted her love history.
The wife cried for a long time before she left clutching the photo. Jiang Xia politely saw her out.
…
As I walked to the street, I saw a familiar little Beetle parked opposite the store.
Immediately afterwards, two people, one fat and one small, got out of the car and rushed over quickly.
It's Dr. Agasa and Conan.
Jiang Xia was slightly startled when he saw their complicated expressions: "What's wrong?" He looked at the doctor's car and guessed, "Send me a cat?"
Judging from the commission list, there are indeed two pet cats still at large. I wonder if I have caught them. However, even if I caught them and sent them to the doctor's house, the doctor doesn't have to rush to send them here...
Conan glanced at Jiang Xia who was intact, and thought of the client whose eyes were red and looked like he had been crying for a long time. He realized belatedly that Jiang Xia "left in a hurry" perhaps just because the client had something urgent to find him.
Conan: “…” I was careless. I almost forgot that Jiang Xia has a part-time job. He is already a working person who needs to take care of clients. He cannot just focus on solving cases.
He thought back to the whole afternoon when he had been battling wits with the air, and sighed tiredly.
