Chapter 15871595 [Okiya Subaru: I’m being watched, please do not disturb me]
"Okay, that's what I thought too!"
Suzuki Sonoko immediately abandoned her previous thoughts and nodded in agreement: "The scenery remains unchanged, but the blind box may open a variety of things. Let's go and see what new performances there will be!"
Although the murder case was indeed somewhat horrific, wasn't Jiang Xia there? Detectives were naturally restrained when it came to this kind of thing, so it wasn't a big problem, not a big problem.
The other people could go anywhere anyway, so they quickly reached a consensus and decided to go to the airport to pick up their luggage, store it back at their residence, and then take a taxi to the venue.
After the taxi took the group away.
A man looked up from a street-side cafe, wrote down the license plate number, and walked out.
Subaru Okiya hadn't had lunch yet and didn't have time to eat at this moment, so he had to buy a pizza, rolled it up like a pie, put it in a bag, and chewed it in his hand.
He looked thoughtfully at the direction where the people left: "..." It was just a guess before, but after observing it now, he found that Conan was indeed trying to control the actions of this group of people.
As a child, Conan has a natural advantage in this regard. After all, children are very imaginative and can go anywhere without appearing suspicious. And he can also use his ultimate move when necessary - making trouble for no reason.
Jiang Xia was easy-going most of the time, so after being teased like that, he naturally followed along in a good temper.
"Uzo... Ahem, Lord Uzo is really clever in choosing his subordinates. If I hadn't gotten the off-field intelligence, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed that Conan was the chess piece that hid the most."
Subaru Okiya witnessed Conan's entire experience of manipulating the itinerary, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart - this is just a child, and besides this, Usa doesn't know how many minions he has. This really makes people feel desperate just thinking about it, and the only thing to be thankful for is...
That is, he has surrendered and is now a member of that group of minions.
“…”
Subaru Okiya lowered his head and silently took a bite of pizza, then silently suppressed his beating conscience.
…
It was a bit boring on the way to pick up and put down the luggage.
Jiang Xia rested his chin on his hand and looked at the gloomy scenery along the way for a while, but soon lost interest. So he turned his eyes away and his sight fell on the mini neighbor beside him.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia approached Conan and lowered his voice as if discussing a secret: "Why do you suddenly want to go to the magic hall? Do you think there is another hidden story behind that murder case?"
Conan came back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts and looked up at him: "..." No wonder Jiang Xia spoke for him just now, it seems that "liking blind boxes" was just a cover-up, Jiang Xia had actually discovered his abnormality.
Conan's heart moved slightly, and for a moment he wanted to tell everything about the organization, and then see if Jiang Xia, a detective with quick reasoning, could find any important clues.
But thoughts are just thoughts. Thinking rationally about the risks behind this behavior and the mysterious cadre who seemed to be watching everything at all times, Conan did not dare to act rashly.
He could only answer vaguely, "There's nothing hidden. I just can't figure out some things, so I want to go there to find some inspiration."
Jiang Xia seemed to understand something: "It's about Mr. Okiya. He went abroad with a fake identity, disguised himself, and then appeared everywhere. It's a bit strange."
After a pause, he said worriedly, "However, if Mr. Okiya is really an agent with an important mission, won't we disturb him if we go there like this?"
Conan: "..." Now it’s not a question of whether he is an agent or not. The most important thing is that hateful organization and the terrible cadres within it!
Conan's tons of topics about the Black Organization once again came to his mind.
But when he thought about the fact that his every word and action might be seen by that mysterious cadre...he didn't want to involve innocent high school students who shouldn't be involved in this world, so he had to put the subject back again.
Conan was a little choked up, pounding his chest in frustration, while trying to talk only about the "agent": "It may indeed disturb him, but it is also possible that he really needs our help - what if we can help? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
Jiang Xia nodded, seeming to be convinced.
Conan glanced at him and felt that Jiang Xia was not someone who was so easy to persuade.
But after thinking about it carefully, he understood - deep down, Jiang Xia probably wanted to get involved in the so-called "agent" business. So once he found a reason that could convince himself, he immediately followed his heart and decided to help Okiya Subaru to find justice and excitement.
Conan: "..." Jiang Xia is such a middle school student... cough, such a righteous person, if he knew about the organization, he might use more radical methods than himself and have in-depth contact with those dangerous men in black.
Although Jiang Xia's fighting ability is indeed more reliable than his, as two high school students who don't even have guns, facing that huge organization, they have no chance of winning by relying solely on brainpower.
...Thinking about it this way, it was indeed the right choice to secretly collect information about the organization without telling Jiang Xia before a sufficiently reliable organization intervened.
…
After they packed up their luggage, they took a taxi to the magic venue they had visited the night before.
When they arrived at the place, Conan jumped out of the car, looked up and saw the scene in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.
Just now, although it was said that no one would avoid this venue because of feudal superstition, Conan actually didn't think that it would be put back into use the day after the case occurred - he originally thought that he could sneak into this venue today and investigate freely.
But now, seeing the appearance of the venue, Conan realized that the plan had failed.
The venue had actually efficiently replaced its advertising posters and colored lights, and its decoration style had changed from dark magic to a complex and gorgeous European court style. Staff members kept coming and going from various exits, and it looked even more lively than last night.
——There are actually people who don’t believe in superstition and do not shy away from the fact that a murder occurred here. They even plan to continue using this venue to hold events.
Jiang Xia seemed to be equally surprised.
But soon, the observant detective discovered the reason.
He poked Conan's shoulder, then pointed to the side of the gate, motioning him to look. There was a gorgeous promotional poster posted there.
"It's a theater troupe, and all the leading actors have Japanese names."
Jiang Xia carefully identified the actors and their names printed on the poster, and quickly came to a conclusion: "They are all relatively famous actors. This is probably a team from Tokyo... In this case, things do make sense. The entertainment industry does have frequent cases and is not peaceful. They should be used to it."
Conan: “…”
