Chapter 1619 1627 [Remember Ireland's Face]
The actors were in the lobby, waiting for the driver to bring the chartered car over.
Seeing Jiang Xia and the others, the male lead actor who played "Napoleon" came over to chat in a friendly manner: "I heard that you are also planning to return to Japan tomorrow?"
Jiang Xia came back to his senses and nodded: "I booked a ticket back to Tokyo."
The male lead laughed and said, "You may have to change your flight then. We are going to Hokkaido next. Kidd hasn't started working on the gems yet. If you want to continue the commission, you may have to go with us."
When two people were chatting casually.
A little further away.
Mu Shuli leaned against the pillar and watched the scene silently. Thinking of how she had asked her assistant to invite Jiang Xia over, but the young man ignored her, she couldn't help but frown.
The assistant saw her expression and quickly guessed what this bad-tempered famous actor was thinking.
To prevent him from getting angry, she whispered, "It's not that Jiang Xia doesn't want to follow your instructions, it's just that a child is missing and we have to find him first. When I went to ask him just now, I found that they were all anxious to find the child, so they didn't pay attention to the commission for a while."
She said the second half of the sentence with a guilty conscience, because in the assistant's opinion, although Jiang Xia was indeed looking for the child at that time, he did not seem to be in a hurry, and his companions were the same - probably because the child ran away every day, and the group of people were used to it. For example, now, there was no sign of the child.
Although Maki Shuli could read some micro-expressions, she was not interested in trying to figure out the feelings of these little people. After hearing the assistant's explanation, she didn't think much about it. She just raised her hand to smooth the soft hair that fell on her chest and hummed, "That's true."
Having said that, she had long been accustomed to being the center of men's attention. Suddenly, a guy who didn't put her first appeared, and she always felt uncomfortable.
"He is still too young and doesn't know how to behave." Maki Shuli raised her chin with the confidence of a queen. "But it doesn't matter. He will bow his head and apologize someday."
Just at this moment, Jiang Xia chatted with the male lead for a few words, and seemed to finally remember something and looked around.
Maki Shuli caught a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye, and the slight resentment in her heart was diluted by the quality of this ideal little lover.
She chuckled: "You only remembered to look for me now, what were you doing before?"
While complaining to her assistant in a low voice, she silently turned her body, changed her posture, and turned the most beautiful angle to the direction of the target - capturing the lens is an essential skill for a good actor, they must understand how to present themselves when viewed from a certain angle.
In this regard, Maki Juri is undoubtedly an expert.
Standing in front of the window, staring at the moonlight shining through the gap in the blinds for a moment, Mu Shuli heard a series of footsteps approaching.
She smiled in her heart with success, but did not turn around, and did not intend to take the initiative to talk to Jiang Xia: when she first met this detective, she had already shown enough friendliness and enthusiasm. According to Maki Shuli's experience, the effect is best to be close yet distant.
Now it was time to give this young detective some time to herself. Jiang Xia had just left her to do something else, ignoring her, a fragile client who was "afraid of the thief." If she wanted the young detective to start following her wishes little by little, she had to first make him realize that it was wrong to leave her behind.
This method seems to be effective.
The person standing behind Mu Shuli was a little confused when he saw that she ignored him for a long time. After a few seconds, the person said helplessly: "Why are you angry again?"
...It wasn’t Jiang Xia’s voice.
Maki Shuri: “???”
She turned around and found that the person walking over was not the target she wanted to fish for, but an old lover who had been in the fish pond for a long time.
Mu Shu's expression, which was mixed with a hint of resentment, a hint of coquettishness and a variety of amorous feelings, suddenly turned cold.
She said indifferently: "What's the matter?"
As she spoke, she raised her head slightly, her eyes passed over her old lover beside her, and swept lightly across the hall.
Then his eyes twitched slightly and he noticed that Jiang Xia was no longer in the hall. He didn't know where he had gone.
The ex-lover is also a skilled actor and quickly senses the subtle changes in Makiri’s attitude.
His eyes changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and laughed, "Why do you always pay attention to that guy? He's just a brat."
Maki Shuli snorted, "How many times have I told you not to talk to me in public? Even though this is London, there might be nasty paparazzi hiding somewhere, ready to take gossip about us in exchange for those filthy wages."
The old lover sighed sadly, "You didn't say that before. You said that this kind of affair that can be put in photos is more challenging and exciting... Are you planning to forget the old one now that you have a new one? At your rate of getting tired of the old and liking the new, even if you really get that little detective, you'll probably get tired of it soon. Why don't you try to develop a stable relationship?"
"He and I are just a client and a detective." Maki Shuli perfunctorily answered him. Thinking that this old lover also had some leverage over her, she reluctantly swallowed the second half of her sentence: The past is the past. Don't you see how old you are now? If there is no private "love", where is the excitement?
However, if you have already got a lover, even if you don't like him/her anymore, you should make full use of him/her, otherwise it would be a waste.
Mu Shuli remembered something and hooked his finger at him: "That's right, there's something I need you to do."
She whispered a few words.
…
The lobby of the theater building now looks like a meeting place for casual chatting.
The security room on the other side has a different style.
"Fake security guard?" Conan repeated the security captain's words in surprise.
"Yeah." The security captain burped as he drank the hangover soup. "That guy isn't from our company, nor from the company next door. He probably sneaked into the equipment room and stole a set of equipment. Humph, he almost got away with it! Fortunately, I was with Bud at the time and figured out that he didn't belong to any security company. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble would have happened."
"It's actually fake..."
The tall security guard sneaked into the theater building temporarily, which means that the security company does not have any substantial information about him, not even a deliberately forged fake identity.
This made Conan extremely disappointed, and the only useful information was that this tall security guard was becoming more and more suspicious, maybe he was really the "unlucky passerby" who was repeatedly hit. In this case, at least he knew what he looked like.
Conan was feeling a little regretful, but suddenly realized something and asked, "Since you found out he was a fake, you must have dealt with him. Did you send him to the police station or take other measures? Where is he now?"
