Chapter 1569-1577 [The Yellow Bird Behind Ireland]
After saying that, Jiang Xia thought about it seriously, and suddenly realized that he would always feel uneasy if it was just him and Suzuki Sonoko.
So he lowered his hands again and put his hands on Conan and Huihara Ai's young shoulders: "Of course, there are also these two children. They don't have to take the exam, and they can play outside for a while longer."
Huiyuan Ai: "..." Although she is not very interested in traveling, since Jiang Xia wants her to stay, and then look at Suzuki Sonoko who looks like a stone sculpture...
Feeling a little sympathetic towards this high school girl who wanted to play with her friends, Haibara Ai nodded silently.
Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, then followed suit: "Actually, whether I review before the exam or not, the final score is almost the same, so I might as well stay and play for a few more days!"
Compared to the two girls who stayed because of Suzuki Sonoko, Conan nodded for a more heartfelt reason: he would never get tired of visiting Sherlock Holmes' former residence no matter how many times he visited it, and he would even be happy to live there for a year.
Conan: "..." As for those first grade elementary school courses, whoever likes them can take them - if school-age children staying at home instead of going to school would not arouse suspicion from all parties, he would have dropped out of school long ago and concentrated on his work.
"Really?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at her two classmates and Haibara Ai in surprise.
After a moment, when she turned her gaze to Conan, her eyes gradually became a little suspicious: "It's just that I always feel that bringing this naughty child who likes to run around will delay our trip..."
Conan: “……?”
I haven't disliked you yet!
…
Although everyone quickly reached a consensus, Suzuki Sonoko sighed after being happy.
"Oh, forget it." She patted Mao Lilan's shoulder. "I'm here to give you a surprise, not to mess up your schedule. You should really act according to your plan. Anyway, you can come to the UK anytime. Let's go together next time. If there are a lot of people, we can borrow my dad's plane."
As she was speaking, her stomach suddenly growled a few times.
Suzuki Sonoko froze, withdrew her hand from Mouri Ran's shoulder, and quietly moved a few steps in a direction where Jiang Xia could not hear.
Then she raised her hand and touched her stomach, sighing, "I'm so hungry. Today's airplane meal wasn't very tasty."
…This is a lie.
In fact, the dishes on the menu were very much to her taste, but unfortunately, there was a handsome flight attendant on the plane.
In front of the flight attendant, Suzuki Sonoko, who was burdened with a lot of things, didn't feel comfortable ordering too much. In the end, she just ate a little bit of food elegantly, which was not enough to satisfy her hunger.
She had been sitting on the plane just now and didn't feel anything, but now that she was running a little, Suzuki Sonoko immediately felt like she was as hungry as a piece of paper.
Jiang Xia heard her complaining about being hungry and looked down at his watch. "The food in the airport restaurant seems to be pretty average. If you want to eat... Oh, I saw a famous old restaurant on the way here. It's not far from here. I can go there for a meal and come back in time."
Suzuki Sonoko didn't expect that she would have to fly back just after landing, and she felt a little depressed.
Suzuki Sonoko: "..." But the more this happens, the more I need to eat. Only when I am full can I have the energy to be sad!
And Jiang Xia was so gentle and considerate today... Of course, it wasn't that he was not good normally, but today Jiang Xia seemed to want to treat her to a meal. In order to comfort her injured little heart, he was considerate to the extreme. Just for this, today was not in vain.
The optimistic high school girl comforted herself in this way and soon regained her energy.
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand and said, "Let's go! I want to eat three meals a day, so I don't have to eat airplane food on the way back."
…
Mao Lilan actually had some impression of the restaurant that Jiang Xia mentioned.
She looked at her watch and felt that time was a little tight. If she was not careful, she might miss the plane.
But thinking of Sonoko who had come all the way to join them, only to be told that the journey was over...
Mao Lilan's conscience would not allow her to sit idly by and watch her unfortunate friend go hungry and not have any delicious food to eat.
"It's not mealtime now, there shouldn't be a line at that store." Mao Lilan thought to herself, "As long as I manage my meal times, I'll be able to get back in time."
...It didn't matter if she was a little late, she could carry her two slower companions on her back and sprint back - although this didn't look very elegant, fortunately she was in a foreign country and no one knew her.
The group went their own way, stored their luggage nearby, and then left the airport.
…
After they left.
In the chaotic crowd.
A burly man pushed up his sunglasses on his nose, his eyes fixed on Jiang Xia.
When these young men were about to disappear from sight, Ireland took a step and followed them silently.
…
After Ireland left.
Deeper in the chaotic crowd.
A graduate student from Tokyo, who had painted an ordinary face, pushed up his non-existent glasses and fixed his gaze on Ireland.
Just as Ireland was about to disappear from sight, Okiya Subaru took a step forward...
Then he quietly shrank back to his original position.
Subaru Okiya: “…” Although he had no idea who the tall man who had followed him last night was, the fact that he had survived in Usa’s hands until now and was given the title of “old friend” by Usa showed that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
It is very likely that he is another code-named cadre with a notorious reputation and countless blood on his hands.
Subaru Okiya: “…” Uzo didn’t order him to follow Ireland, but he did clearly say that he wanted to get close to Jiang Xia.
However, now, Jiang Xia was followed by another dangerous cadre. If he wanted to follow Jiang Xia, he must not be discovered by that person. In other words, he had to follow and keep an eye on that person's movements.
On one side was Uzo's order.
On the other side, there is an unknown and terrifying cadre of the organization.
Carefully put the two sides on the scale. As soon as they were stable, Ireland was thrown far away by the rapidly falling other end.
The picture that automatically popped up in his mind gave Subaru Okiya an immediate conclusion.
and!
…No matter how terrifying something is, it is not even one ten-thousandth as terrible as Uzo.
At worst, I could just stay as far away from that tall guy as possible. Even if I lost him in the end, I would have done my best. It was better than pretending not to see him and then being held accountable by Uzo afterwards.
Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru took a breath silently, then he showed the low presence he tried his best to maintain at various crime scenes and in front of Usa, and followed quietly and timidly.
At the same time, just to be on the safe side, Okiya Subaru did not forget to type an email and send it to his boss - since he couldn't escape, he would try to treat Usa as one of those professors he respected, and report anything in advance.
Although this may make you seem indecisive, it is better than just doing nothing and then being blamed and held responsible all of a sudden.
