Chapter 1523 1531 [Short-term balance between Uzo and detective] Ask for monthly ticket (づど)
"Very...filthy?"
Yoko Kinoshita had originally planned to actively avoid conversations between detectives and clients, so as to prevent Jiang Xia's confidentiality of the client from being affected by her - if a private detective was rumored to have leaked information, his career would probably be affected.
However, at this moment, hearing these words, she couldn't help but hesitate again. She looked at Jiang Xia and sat down again.
“…”
The magician realized that he couldn't get her away and he belatedly realized what was happening.
He immediately changed the subject smoothly: "Alas, actually that's not the case - I'm just telling the truth. My commission involves some people in the entertainment industry. Jiang Xia and his friends don't have much contact with this circle, so it's okay for them to hear about it. But if we start talking about someone you know, I'm afraid it will be awkward if you're around."
"So that's how it is." Yoko Kinoshita breathed a sigh of relief. She was not that curious and not too suspicious. After hearing this new explanation, she felt relieved and followed the beautiful magic assistant away.
After they left, the magician kicked out everyone else in the group, leaving only Okiya Subaru.
Okiya Subaru: "......?" Why was he the only one left? Was this magician also an accomplice of some unknown conspiracy? He didn't want to listen to this person's request, not at all!
...But when he thought about how he could leave tomorrow if he could just hold it in until the performance was over, it would be a shame to offend the core of the group before that. Subaru Okiya took a deep breath and finally held it in.
But soon, he found out that he was wrong.
——The magician drove away the other members of the group and only let him stay. There really was a very necessary reason.
"Everyone, sit down." The magician gestured to the bench, and after Jiang Xia and the others were seated, he sat opposite Jiang Xia.
Then he sighed and made a sad expression: "Actually, I specially asked the detective to come here today because I found that there is someone in our group who wants to kill me. I want you to help me find that person."
At this moment, Subaru Okiya felt powerless no matter what he did: if he stayed away, he was worried that what happened last night would happen again; if he just ran away, he didn't want to give up the glimmer of hope that was about to come.
All kinds of thoughts were in a mess in his mind, so he simply stopped thinking about these bad things and gave up on running errands and fetching water.
Jiang Xia took the juice he handed over, looked up at him, and nodded secretly in his heart: "..." They have almost had enough fun, and Okiya Subaru should be mentally prepared enough. It's time to find an opportunity to let Usa come out and talk to this little brother who yearns for freedom about the beauty of Tokyo.
As he thought about it, he took a sip of the juice in the glass.
Then we were surprised to find that the juice here was freshly squeezed and specially flavored. It tasted good and even better than those sold in professional stores. The quality of life of this magic troupe seems to be quite guaranteed.
He simply tilted his head back and drank a few more sips.
Okiya Subaru came back to his senses, staring at the juice that had been drained into the cup, hesitating to speak: "..."
Based on his observations during this period, there is something inexplicably weird about the relationships between the members of the magic troupe.
You can eat and drink here without worrying about getting hurt accidentally... Is this the confidence of a famous detective?
Subaru Okiya: “…” Regarding this point, on the bright side, Jiang Xia is extremely talented in reasoning. When he encounters Uzo's script in the future, Uzo should not make a ridiculous script like "he was thirsty and wanted to drink a glass of water at the crime scene, but accidentally took poison and died suddenly", and send Jiang Xia, a rare detective who can see through his reasoning at a glance, to another world.
But thinking about the worst case scenario, if Jiang Xia discovers the existence of the organization one day and Wu Zuo wants to silence him, that doesn't seem to be that difficult.
It seems that after running away, I still have to remind Jiang Xia tactfully. Not only because I can't bear to see the detective who helped him die, but also because Wu Zuo has to do something to ignore the little brother's slight difference...
…
On the other side, the magician originally wanted to make the situation sound more serious so that Jiang Xia would realize the problem and help him avoid the danger that he didn't know whether it existed or not.
However, after he said this with a serious face, Jiang Xia did not respond, but was looking at the glass of juice with appreciation.
Magician: "..." Impolite young man. If this detective was not hired by Miss Yoko, he would definitely kick this guy out and let him taste the beating from Party A.
Unfortunately, assumptions are just assumptions.
The magician imagined it happily in his mind, but in the end he could only clear his throat forcefully and inadvertently to increase his presence.
Jiang Xia was startled by him and came back to his senses as he wished.
After spending a second to recall what the magician just said, Jiang Xia asked, "You are talking about the person who sent you the 'filthy threatening letter', right? Let me see the letter first. It often contains a lot of important information."
The magician shook his head:
"Didn't I just say that that was just an excuse? I didn't actually receive any threatening letters. I just didn't want Miss Yoko to hear our conversation."
Dr. Agasa was also drinking juice. Hearing this, he choked and said, "Then how do you know someone wants to kill you?"
The magician leaned back in his chair and said, “Although I haven’t received any explicit threatening letters, some dangerous accidents occurred during the last two rehearsals.
"The mechanical equipment on the ceiling actually fell down and hit me. If I hadn't been agile and good at observation and dodged in time, I might have been lying in the hospital or even dead now."
"If this happened only once, it could barely be considered an accident, but twice in a short period of time... humph, my luck can't be that bad! Someone must be targeting me."
After saying that, he stared at Jiang Xia seriously.
Jiang Xia handed the empty juice cup back to Okiya Subaru, motioning him to have another one, then he clasped his hands on his knees and put on the same serious expression as the magician: "When those accidents happened, was there anyone near the mechanical switch?"
The magician shook his head: "No matter how hard I look, I'm the only one at the scene."
Jiang Xia thought about it and asked according to procedure: "Who in the troupe has a grudge against you?"
The magician sighed, "Besides me, there are five other important members of our group. I have had little contact with the others, and I don't think they will make enemies with me. You just need to focus on investigating those five people."
Okiya Subaru, who was fiddling with the juicer with his back to them, said: “…?”
...Are you sure the others are innocent?
...I've just been in contact with you for less than half a day, and I already want to beat you up.
Dongcheng Huanyang did not notice the resentful aura coming from behind him.
Conan, on the other hand, looked around vigilantly, and finally his suspicious gaze passed over the back of the sofa and fell on Okiya Subaru.
