Chapter 16251633 [Hongmen Banquet]
"These cases are most likely... no, they are definitely related to Uzo."
Ireland checked the information of several other famous detectives:
"Sure enough, the chances of other people encountering peripheral members of the organization are not as high as Jiang Xia's... Although this is also related to the fact that Jiang Xia is based in Tokyo and there are more peripheral members in Tokyo, when facing Uzo, any abnormality cannot be overlooked - this time my intuition must be correct, this detective must have some very important clues."
This discovery, and the clear clues that were about to be grasped, finally made Ireland's heart, which had been hanging in the air, feel more at ease.
"Let's find a place to rest first, and then we'll go meet that bastard tomorrow."
Although Ireland was not worried about the plane crash and felt that Uzo would not kill directly, he still did not dare to relax, because Uzo's actions could not be without conspiracy: "I don't know what kind of tricks that guy arranged on the plane."
…
That night.
Unlike Ireland, which tried hard to fall asleep but failed repeatedly.
On the other side, Jiang Xia had a good sleep.
The next morning, the fake detective opened his eyes on time - ever since Kudo-san became a small person, the world has always been full of surprises, and every day is full of expectations.
After packing their luggage, the group arrived at the airport early to avoid missing their flight.
After discussion last night, Jiang Xia changed his flight to the crew's flight, planning to go to Hokkaido first, attend their celebration party and then return to Tokyo.
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran hesitated for a moment in front of his seemingly free and easy but actually reluctant farewell look, and finally decided to go with him.
"It's too late to review now anyway, so one more day won't make any difference."
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand and said, "Traveling is more fun when you are together as a group. It's impossible to go our separate ways just before returning home. Let's go together. It happens that I haven't been to Hokkaido for a long time."
Mao Lilan nodded and was not too worried about the exam either.
Although she has pretty good grades and studies very hard, Mao Lilan has always had a little secret of her own - she seems to have a higher accuracy rate when rolling the dice than when answering questions seriously.
...But taking an exam like this always gives her a strange feeling of shame, as if she's cheating, so Mao Lilan rarely uses this skill easily.
But this time, if I really don’t have time to review…
Ran Mao Li looked at the sunset in the distance, clasped her hands together in her heart, and secretly apologized to the god of exams.
Then decide to buy a four-sided pencil with sharp edges before going to school.
…
It was almost noon at the London airport.
The high school students and the crew members met smoothly and prepared to board the same plane.
Mu Shuli saw Jiang Xia approaching from afar, raised his hand to push up his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and did not take the initiative to go over.
Unlike the theater building that was heavily guarded last night, this place is a public place and not a good time to flirt or develop a relationship.
Unexpectedly, she did nothing, but Jiang Xia was more sensible than yesterday. When she found that Maki Juri was also in the crew, the detective took the initiative to come over and greet her with a very friendly attitude.
Mu Shuli raised an eyebrow, thinking that this young man actually likes the aloof type. But before the thought could fully form, Jiang Xia turned around and walked away again, starting to chat with people around him randomly, even the temporary workers in the crew were not spared.
“…”
Makishuri watched this scene in silence, and then discovered with great displeasure that this detective was not playing hard to get.
——Compared to her, Jiang Xia was actually more interested in the ordinary people around him who were like ants.
The assistant stood beside him professionally. She had followed Maki Shuli for quite some time and was very familiar with the actor's every expression. She also saw that Maki Shuli was in a bad mood at the moment.
Although this famous actress intends to develop Jiang Xia into her lover, the progress is zero after all. Even if Maki Juri is in a bad mood, she cannot scold Jiang Xia, and in the end, it is the staff members like her who suffer.
In order to avoid being scolded during the rest of the trip, the assistant whispered, "I heard that Jiang Xia is very dedicated to his work. Even when he is on vacation or traveling, he never forgets to expand his clientele.
"And you are his client now. It is precisely because he takes your..." commission "to heart that he has no time for small talk and immediately gets down to work."
"Also, when Kidd committed crimes in the past, one of his most common methods seemed to be to disguise himself as someone around the target. Jiang Xia chatted with those people not to ignore you, but to find Kidd among them as soon as possible to prevent him from harming you and the gem in your hand."
These words touched people's hearts. Makishuri hummed without comment and lowered her head to admire the beautiful gem ring on her finger. Although the performance was over, perhaps the sponsor felt that the gem was very suitable for her and was not in a hurry to take it back, so Makishuri kept wearing it.
"Gemstones still need people to complement them." Mu Shuli looked at the shining stone with some nostalgia, "It's a pity that I have to return it soon."
…
Jiang Xia walked around the crowd, making sure that everyone present had received his business card and remembered "If you have any cases, find Jiang Xia", then he finished his daily business and returned to his classmates.
Suzuki Sonoko was flipping through her phone, checking the weather forecast. She sighed as she read, "There will be thunderstorms in Hakodate, Hokkaido tonight... I was planning to take a trip to Hokkaido, but I ran into this kind of weather."
Jiang Xia didn't think it was a big problem: "Thunderstorms usually come and go quickly. It should be late at night when we arrive. When we get to daybreak, the rain will have stopped."
Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up and she pounded her palm with her fist: "That's right!"
Mao Lilan reminded her quietly, dragging her back to reality: "But we have exams soon, now is not the time to continue traveling."
"..." Suzuki Sonoko wilted visibly. She patted Mao Lilan's shoulder weakly, "Xiaolan, try to bring up such sad topics later in the future."
…
On the other side, in the ordinary waiting hall.
Subaru Okiya pushed up his glasses on his nose and looked at the screen of his mobile phone through the deliberately stained lenses.
——He was also checking the weather forecast.
Of course, unlike Suzuki Sonoko, Okiya Subaru not only looked at the weather conditions at the landing point, he also observed the air currents along the route and the general terrain, with a serious expression as if he was welcoming a natural disaster.
There was a couple looking very affectionate next to him, and they seemed to be on the same flight as him.
The woman leaned in the man's arms and said coquettishly, "There is a thunderstorm in Hokkaido. It's so scary. What if we are struck by lightning when we fly there?"
The man hugged her and laughed: "You underestimate the current aviation technology."
Halfway through his words, he saw his girlfriend pouting her lips, and belatedly understood the context, and immediately changed his words: "Even if the thunder really hits, my broad back will help you block it!"
