Chapter 143 A Difficult Decision (Character Star Value Plus 1)
Jiang Xia got home earlier than his neighbors, went to bed earlier than his neighbors, and because his puppet was hit, he took a ghost mint to replenish his energy. In short, the next day, Jiang Xia became the most energetic one.
He took the invitation to the "Sherlock Holmes Journey" that he had drawn and originally wanted to go to the Mouri Detective Agency to find Conan.
But when passing by the doctor's house, Jiang Xia remembered what happened yesterday, turned in and took a look, and saw Conan there as expected.
Compared with Jiang Xia, the three people who returned home in the early morning looked a little haggard, and looked like they could fall asleep at any time.
Miyano Akemi poked her head out from behind Jiang Xia, glanced at the living room, skillfully floated over Huibara Ai's head, and happily touched her sister's soft top of the head.
…
Before Jiang Xia came, Conan and the others were still discussing what happened last night.
As soon as Jiang Xia arrived, all three of them shut up.
In order to help Jiang Xia keep the organization's identity secret, Haibara Ai will not discuss the organization with Jiang Xia when other people are present.
Of course, Conan and Dr. Agasa would not say: In their opinion, Jiang Xia should receive some sunny and cheerful information compared to the Black Organization, which is a terrible thing.
So, even though Conan really wanted to take Jiang Xia to the scene of Shirakura Yang's death yesterday and let Jiang Xia see what went wrong, in the end, he still held back.
——Shirakura Yang's death was too coincidental, and he was probably silenced by the organization. If Jiang Xia really went to the scene and found clues, he might become the next target of silence, or cause another child of unknown origin to appear in Dr. Agasa's home.
…
Since the neighbors didn't mention those things, Jiang Xia certainly wouldn't say them on his own initiative.
He took out the invitation to the "Sherlock Holmes Journey" and tried to lure the pseudo-child with event-related physique to go with him.
Conan was excited when he saw the invitation letter: "You won the lottery too?"
He was happy at first because he had friends going with him.
But then he thought of something and suddenly became depressed again.
——The ultimate reward: the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet", only one copy.
That is, only one person can receive the reward.
And now, Jiang Xia is also going...
Conan seemed to have seen the tragic scene of Aishu waving a handkerchief at him and then running into Jiang Xia's arms.
However, after a while, Conan gradually regained his composure - the challenge of "The Journey of Sherlock Holmes" is not to solve the case, but to answer questions. He may not lose to Jiang Xia.
Also, even if he loses... Jiang Xia's house is so close to him, he can go to Jiang Xia's house and see his precious book. And the other contestants are also very strong opponents. Rather than letting "A Study in Scarlet" fall into the hands of others, it is better for Jiang Xia to have it...
…
Dr. Agasa discovered other problems.
He saw the date on the invitation and looked at Conan: "But this day...isn't it scheduled to go treasure hunting in my uncle's villa with the children?"
The Junior Detective Team often comes to Dr. Agasa's house to play. Dr. Agasa also likes these kids very much. Recently, the doctor bought some toys with his own money, hid them in his uncle's old villa, and racked his brains to arrange some secret codes, planning to hold a "treasure hunt game".
Conan froze slightly when he remembered that this was indeed the case.
He hesitated for 0.1 seconds between "friendship" and "Sherlock Holmes", and decisively released a dove of peace: "How about changing the time, or letting Huiyuan go with them?"
Dr. Agasa looked at Haibara Ai pitifully.
Huiyuan sighed and closed the book in his hand: "Okay."
…
Next to him, Jiang Xia looked at Conan, then at Haibara Ai, and fell into deep thought.
...He had not expected that the troops would be divided into two groups.
Normally, having to choose between ghosts and murderous intent was already heavy enough, but now he had to do this kind of additional question.
Jiang Xia was torn between his conscience and his desires.
At this time, Huiyuan Ai remembered something and looked at Dr. Agasa: "Where is the villa you mentioned? I will prepare the luggage I need in advance."
Dr. Agasa said happily: "It's on the gentle slope south of Jinqiao Mountain! The scenery over there is very beautiful. Don't worry about the luggage, I have prepared everything."
Jiang Xia, who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up, said: "!"
This place... doesn't seem to be far from the venue of "The Journey of Sherlock Holmes". It's just on the opposite side of a mountain.
This time, he can have them all?
…
Then came the day when Sherlock Holmes' journey began.
Jiang Xia arrived at the meeting place given by the organizer on time, and then got on the van provided by the organizer.
