Chapter 131 Don't follow me, please give me a monthly ticket ()
After Kimie Ikemura decided to kill her husband, she began looking for a suitable detective.
She planned to drug her husband unconscious in the study, disguise the study as a "secret room", then bring a detective into the room and secretly stab her husband to death with a poison needle.
By then, the detectives would definitely not think that she dared to kill someone in front of them, and would think that this was a closed-room murder case and eliminate her as a suspect.
…
So a while ago, Ikemura Kimie began to contact the detective privately under the pretext of "investigating his daughter-in-law."
During this period, she heard Jiang Xia recommended by a friend, so she went to the detective agency where Jiang Xia worked to take a look at the situation.
Originally, seeing that Jiang Xia was so young and had little experience as a detective, Ikemura Kimie was very optimistic about him.
However, while her best friend was consulting, Ikemura Kimie sat next to her and flipped through the collection of clippings about Jiang Xia's case. The more he read, the more frightened he became.
According to reports, Jiang Xia solved cases very quickly, often getting to the point as soon as he opened his mouth. This shows that his observation skills must be strong, and he has the ability to take in the whole scene and discover all the details in just a few seconds.
Ikemura Kimie put herself in the shoes of the criminals who were caught for no apparent reason in the clippings, and felt a chill down her spine. She was really afraid that right after she stabbed the poison needle into her husband's neck, Jiang Xia would come up to her and ask, "What are you doing?" Then everything would be over.
So, to be on the safe side, Ikemura Kimie replaced his tool with a new one - Mori Kogoro.
But now...why is Jiang Xia here? !
Ikemura Kimie regretted agreeing to go with them.
But if you change your words abruptly, it will easily arouse suspicion.
Ikemura Gongjiang: "..." Forget it, take someone over to take a look first. At worst, we can observe the situation before the assassination. If Jiang Xia notices her, we can abort the plan.
…
Thinking of this, Ikemura Gongjiang barely maintained his noble and cold demeanor, turned and walked towards the door.
Jiang Xia quickly followed.
Next to him, Hattori Heiji successfully completed the mission and found an opportunity to observe Jiang Xia. He was in a good mood.
He showed a smile as if he was about to see through everything, turned to Jiang Xia, and was about to declare a challenge, but found that Jiang Xia was also looking at him.
After staring at each other for a moment, Jiang Xia suddenly said in a friendly manner: "Have you ever considered transferring to Tokyo? There are many famous detectives here, and there are many cases. It's very convenient for you to find anyone you want to compete with."
Hattori Heiji: “…”Ah?
On the other hand, Jiang Xia just said this, but then he thought it was not very realistic: Hattori Heiji's family is in Osaka, Ome is also in Osaka, it is impossible for him to come.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia sighed softly.
Then, feeling a little disappointed, he got into Ikemura Kimie's car.
Hattori Heiji looked at his back: "......?"
...Is it his illusion? He always feels that Jiang Xia not only has no hostility towards him, a challenger who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but is quite friendly?
Hattori Heiji got into the car suspiciously.
…
Next to him, Conan also sneaked into the car.
——Hattori Heiji kept pestering Jiang Xia, shouting that he wanted to find Kudo Shinichi. He was worried.
And in Conan's opinion, Hattori Heiji is a person who is too straightforward, so straightforward that he seems to deserve a beating.
If he kept asking Jiang Xia questions that Jiang Xia didn't want to answer and exhausted Jiang Xia's patience, then someone would have to be responsible for pulling Jiang Xia away who was swinging the baton... Hattori Heiji was not a criminal after all, so he might be held responsible if he hurt someone.
As soon as Conan got on the bus, Mao Lilan followed him anxiously. The bus suddenly became a little crowded.
Maori Kogoro looked at the back seat speechlessly: "There are too many of you, two of you get off!"
However, Ikemura Kimie said, "It's okay. This way it will be less likely to arouse suspicion from reporters." The more people there are, the better. The more chaotic it is, the more at ease she will feel.
And she suddenly discovered that Jiang Xia seemed to be very interested in the Osaka man. It was good that someone distracted him...
…
Mao Lilan deliberately sat between Jiang Xia and Hattori Heiji to separate the two.
She just discovered that although Hattori Heiji's target was Kudo Shinichi, he was not very friendly to Jiang Xia.
She originally thought that Hattori Heiji would continue to cause trouble, and she was ready to throw him away the moment he continued to pester her... but he didn't.
Hattori Heiji was very quiet and seemed to be lost in thought.
…
——He was still thinking about the intention of Jiang Xia’s words “Come to Tokyo”.
If it was Toru Amuro who said the same thing to him, Hattori Heiji would definitely suspect that the other party was mocking the teaching quality in Osaka, or mocking that Osaka did not have many famous detectives.
But now it’s Jiang Xia…
Hattori Heiji's mind flashed with Jiang Xia's sincere eyes, and he couldn't really make any such doubts. He even had the illusion that if he nodded just now, Jiang Xia would immediately bring the moving company to his house and carry him to Tokyo overnight.
So why did they suddenly invite him? Were they impressed by his ability to solve cases and wanted to compete with him?
…
Kimie Ikemura quickly drove the car to the destination.
The Ikemura family's house was quite large and very impressive. A group of people entered from the door, and along the way they met the Ikemura family's housekeeper, Ikemura Kimie's son and daughter-in-law, Ikemura Kimie's father-in-law, and finally arrived at the door of the study on the second floor.
