Chapter 1505 1513 [Okiya Subaru: Avoid the Death Team]
When Mrs. Nanjo said this, her tone was a little weak. After all, Nanjo Hayato's attitude just now was really bad.
Fortunately, the high school student sitting opposite her seemed to have a good temper.
Jiang Xia not only didn't say anything like "Since he looks down on us, let's just leave!", but turned around and comforted her in a gentle voice:
"Anyone would be nervous if they suddenly received a threatening letter like that, and when they are nervous, they are likely to have a bad attitude. I understand that. And I received the commission from you. No matter what Mr. Nanjo's attitude is, as long as you feel it is necessary to continue, I will not leave."
Mrs. Nanjo couldn't help but look touched.
Yoko Kinoshita watched from the side and nodded secretly with satisfaction:
She knew that a righteous detective like Jiang Xia would not ignore the threatening letter. On the contrary, Jiang Xia would stay in the place where the case might occur until the last moment - this is the persistence of a detective.
Yoko Kinoshita: “…” When I make a collection of clippings later, I will include this growth point in it.
Hmm? No, no, it's just a threatening letter, nothing will happen. Or to put it the other way around, she should hope nothing will happen...
Yoko Kinoshita stopped her thoughts and tapped her head secretly to get rid of the strange thoughts.
Fortunately, Mrs. Nanjo had no idea what was going on in the mind of this popular idol who had been through a lot.
Seeing that Jiang Xia agreed to continue the commission, Mrs. Nanjo also focused her energy on catching the person who wrote the threatening letter.
She analyzed: "Fortunately, this is the UK. There aren't that many people who can write threatening letters in Japanese, and there aren't many people who have a grudge against my husband."
Haibara Ai listened silently at the side and couldn't help but mutter in her heart: Are there many people in the country who have a grudge against Nanjo Hayato?
...That's right. Judging from the way Mr. Nanjo spoke just now, he must have made many enemies. It's a miracle that he's still alive. No wonder the number of suspects can be described as "extraordinarily large" even if the scope is limited to "people nearby who can speak Japanese".
Beside her, Mrs. Nanjo looked around and lowered her voice: "In fact, I suspect that the person who sent the letter is a member of the crew, otherwise how could he recognize my husband's suitcase. It just so happens that you look..."
She looked at the group, which was led by an underage male high school student and consisted of the elderly, children, and female high school students, and said tactfully:
"Fortunately, you don't look like you're here to arrest anyone, so the person who sent the letter can relax his vigilance. How about this? I'll take you around in the name of sightseeing. I hope you can successfully find the person who sent the threatening letter."
"visit?"
Although Mao Lilan was a little worried about the famous actor who received the threatening letter, she couldn't help but feel happy when she heard these words.
——A crew can’t have only one or two celebrities. It looks like she will be able to collect many celebrities’ signatures in the next few hours... It’s so fun to go out with Jiang Xia! Except that the cases she encountered were a little more...
…
Several people, with different thoughts in mind, started to tour the building.
Although Mrs. Nanjo and Yoko Kinoshita provided convenience, the entire crew had so many people, and even some fans and reporters who followed them, it was difficult to find out the real situation in a short period of time.
Speaking of suspects...
Walking down the stairwell to the next floor, Jiang Xia glanced at the tea room at the end of the corridor: "..."
...What is Okiya Subaru doing hiding there? It's been so long, aren't my feet numb? I always feel like he's hiding from us like we're the plague.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia followed the pattern and spoke to Mist Tengu from a distance, asking it to continue following closely and not lose him.
Kiri Tengu was sitting next to Okiya Subaru. When he received the message, he nodded quickly.
Then he moved a little closer and solemnly hugged the target's trouser leg.
…
Even after it got dark, the crew still hadn't finished checking. After all, each of them had their own jobs, some were even working overtime, and they were always on the move, making it difficult to capture them.
Seeing them walking around the same floor three or four times, a middle-aged man wearing glasses couldn't help but walk over and said, "Are you still investigating the case?"
When Mao Lilan saw someone approaching, she instinctively handed over the autograph book.
After handing it in, I realized that I didn't seem to know this person.
Yoko Kinoshita noticed it and introduced him considerately: "This is Tadao Ohno, the director of the crew."
Director Ohno nodded at them. He had obviously heard that Mrs. Nanjo wanted to hire a detective to investigate. "Any results?"
Jiang Xia looked at him and shook his head: "I haven't found anyone particularly suspicious for the time being." ...Except for the little brother who has been squatting at the foot of the wall, trying his best to reduce his presence.
The director had an expression of "as expected" and patted his shoulder teasingly: "Just check it out, no need to try too hard - the so-called 'Death God Jinnai' mentioned in the threatening letter won't appear anyway."
Dr. Agasa followed them up and down and was now exhausted.
Hearing this, he was stunned: "What do you mean? Are we doing useless work?"
Director Ohno spread his hands and said, "In my opinion, this is just a gimmick that Nanjo Hayato directed and acted in to promote his new drama."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the reporters who were nearby and came to talk to the crew: "Nanjo's costume was not ready today, so there was no shot of him. He spent all his free time bragging to those reporters, saying that even if the 'Death God Jinnai' really came, he was just a fake, and he, the real one, was fearless. Those words were enough to fill a whole page - he was still so talkative even after being threatened. What else could it be but directing and acting himself?
Mrs. Nanjo said angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Her angry look and sharp voice were very different from her usual elegant image.
Mao Lilan didn't expect that the two sides would suddenly start arguing, and she shrank in fright.
Awakened by her movements, Mrs. Nanjo remembered that there was someone next to her.
She glanced at the guests and detectives, took a deep breath, tried to maintain her elegance, and smiled: "It's past nine o'clock, you must be hungry - I remember there is a convenience store nearby, you can go buy some snacks to fill your stomach first, the director has booked a hotel nearby, and when the work is finished later, we will go to have dinner together."
Jiang Xia nodded, realizing that she still had something to say to the director.
In addition, they were really hungry, so they followed Mrs. Nanjo's directions and planned to go to the convenience store to have a look.
Kinoshita Yoko seemed to have something else to deal with, so she didn't go with them. She just said to Jiang Xia, "Please bring me a hamburger."
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and silently changed his words: "Well, let's have a sandwich with vegetables." Damn it, I have to stay in shape...
