Chapter 1360 1368 [Don't Knock] Ask for a monthly ticket ヽ(〃〃)~
In the end, the old deacon could only sigh and acquiesce to the matter.
but……
An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he looked at Jiang Xia: "Do you want to come with us?"
Jiang Xia was startled and nodded: "Of course."
The old deacon breathed a sigh of relief: detectives are good at solving puzzles. They should also be good at finding treasures - it is better to find the "egg of memories" quickly and then determine its ownership, rather than never finding it and letting the castle be targeted by thieves.
Moreover, the old deacon had been bored these years, and he loved to read the newspaper when he had nothing to do. He had also paid attention to several cases in the castle, and was very familiar with Jiang Xia - this kid seemed to be a person who hated evil, and going to the castle with such a person was a kind of protection. In addition, Jiang Xia was so familiar with the police, so if there was really a problem, it would be convenient for him to call the police.
…
The old deacon was not the only one who was wary.
Next to him, Conan was also alert.
He looked around for a moment and whispered to Jiang Xia, "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel like these people are too obsessed with the 'Egg of Memory'. It's like they can do anything for it."
Jiang Xia: "...maybe it's not an illusion." At least not for Pu Siqinglan - the killer's murderous aura almost hit him through Suzuki Sonoko. Human potential is indeed unlimited...
Conan felt something was wrong after hearing his affirmation: "Come to think of it, Kidd actually fell from mid-air last night. This itself is very unusual - could it be that an insider tampered with his hang glider, or someone sniped him from a distance?"
Jiang Xia: "..." As expected of you. Kidd was indeed sniped, and someone did something to his glider...
As he was thinking, he pulled the Mist Tengu's furry wings.
Kiri Tengu shuddered: "......?"
Although it seems that it is not its fault, but when I think about it carefully, it seems that the thing that smashed Kidd's hang glider last night was indeed its wings... Mist Tengu lowered his head, revealing a look of reflection.
"..." Jinpei Matsuda and Xiaobai couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at it.
Then the two ghosts quietly moved to a place away from Jiang Xia's field of vision to avoid being caught and blamed for no reason.
…
After looking at the Egg of Memories and discussing going to the castle to find the second "Gem Version of Memories Egg".
The group of people returned to their respective rooms to rest and pack their belongings.
Jiang Xia found his room, flipped through the novels on the bookshelf, and looked at the door with boredom: When will Pu Siqinglan come to find him to silence him? Why hasn't she come yet? The yacht is so big, she couldn't have gotten lost.
But calmly thinking, they have just boarded the ship. When entering an unfamiliar environment, a normal killer would probably first survey the terrain and the patterns of the crew's activities before taking action.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.
"!" Jiang Xia was startled, stood up in surprise, and walked a few steps, but suddenly felt something was wrong - there was no special fragrance at the door, it was clean. And the murderous aura on Pu Siqinglan's body was getting more and more fluffy, and it couldn't be blocked by a mere door.
...Forget it, I’m already up.
Jiang Xia simply took a few more steps and opened the door without much enthusiasm.
A camera came head-on.
"..." Jiang Xia looked at the camera, then at Hanchuan Long behind the camera, and couldn't help but be silent for a moment: This photographer is really bold. You know, in such a crowded place, it is easy to see a death notice if you open the door randomly. The degree of its ferocity was so great that even Mao Lilan almost fell victim to it.
And the photographer in front of him has such a low combat power, but is so brave in action... Such a person has a good personality, and I think he will be a good friend of the psychic.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia asked in a friendly manner: "What's the matter?"
…
In contrast to him, the person on the other side was not so friendly.
Before Hanchuan Long knocked on the door, he obviously didn't know who the tenant who would open the door would be - he was too lazy to remember which room each person was in.
At this time, he found that a man was knocked out, and this man was not scared. The photographer immediately said with a lack of interest: "What a bad reaction, taking pictures of you is a waste of my memory - learn from the cute little girl opposite, her fright reaction is so funny, hahahaha."
He laughed a few times, picked up the camera, and went to take pictures of other people.
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze from his back and turned to look at the room opposite.
The door of the room was open, and its tenants, Mao Lilan and Conan, were knocked out and stood at the door. They were the last victims of the photographer's random knocking.
Conan stared at Ryu Kankawa's receding back and was very dissatisfied with this rude guy.
When Mao Lilan heard that she was used as an example, and saw Jiang Xia standing opposite her, she explained very embarrassedly: "He is exaggerating. I was not 'frightened' at all. I was just a little surprised - I just opened the door and there was a camera facing my face. I instinctively wanted to hide, but there was nothing I could do."
Jiang Xia agreed considerately: "Indeed, this is the basic reaction to danger. Those who don't hide at all are more likely to be eliminated by evolution."
Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief.
"What elimination?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side.
When they turned around, they saw Suzuki Sonoko running over as well.
Not only did she come alone, she also brought along Natsumi Kosaka from next door.
Meeting the gazes of the three classmates, Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand and said happily: "It's really boring on the boat, and there's nothing to see at this time - why don't we play cards!"
She and Kosaka Natsumi were close together, and their hair colors were very similar. Although there was a big age difference, Kosaka Natsumi was simple-minded and did not look out of place among them.
They were about to go into Mao Lilan's room together.
Before leaving, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered something. He stopped at the door and said, "Playing cards is more fun with more people. I'm afraid Miss Pu Siqinglan doesn't have much in common with the others. Why not find her to join us?"
“…”
Suzuki Sonoko fell into deep thought: All the young people were gathered together, and it seemed unreasonable not to bring Pu Siqinglan. Especially since this was their own boat, her attitude was that of the host, how could this be a way of entertaining guests?
So Suzuki Sonoko tried to convince herself: "..." Although she always felt that Pu Siqinglan was weird, as if she had other intentions towards Jiang Xia. But with so many people present, even if she really abandoned her morals and tried to rape her on the spot, Xiaolan could hold her down... It's not a big problem!
After thinking carefully, Suzuki Sonoko nodded: "Then let's go find her."
…
Several people asked Secretary Nishino about the room where Pu Siqinglan was.
After knocking a few times, someone soon answered.
