Chapter 1711:1719 [Grayfield Ai's Conspiracy]
Jiang Xia: “…”
He put down the cup and quietly pushed it away, expressing his refusal with his actions.
Then he took a cookie to suppress the bitterness in his mouth, and at the same time glanced at Miyano Akemi who was floating next to him.
Miyano Akemi understood what she meant, and floated closer with a menacing look on her face. She rubbed her sister's face vigorously, and used her power for personal gain to avenge her master, the psychic.
Haibara Ai had no idea what was happening to her face. Seeing that Jiang Xia was determined not to drink it, she had to put the cup away regretfully, rummaged in the lunch box again, and took out a cup of coffee with a lid and put it down.
This time Jiang Xia picked it up and drank it.
While eating breakfast, Huiyuan Ai observed from the side again, and then found that Jiang Xia was still distracted. Fortunately, this was not his usual idle mode, but he was concentrating on thinking about something, and it seemed that Jiang Xia was looking forward to it.
Huihara Ai was relieved.
But I wasn't completely relieved.
——The more a case excites a detective, the more it indicates that there is a danger behind it. And the plane accident had just ended, and she actually always suspected that there was something else behind the accident. Otherwise, this was too coincidental. There was such a strong smell of organization on the plane at that time, it couldn't really be just an accident caused by the murder case.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Jiang Xia had already stood up and said, "Okay, I'm leaving first."
Before Haibara Ai could formulate the words to her many questions, when she looked up, the person was gone.
Huibara Ai: “…” Oh, forget it.
After all, Jiang Xia is also a member of the organization. Even if he really saw something by accident, there is no need for other members to risk being exposed and silence a celebrity who can barely be considered one of their own.
Moreover, Jiang Xia seemed to know other cadres in the organization and had a good relationship with them, such as the dangerous curly-haired man who passed by her door before. With this inside information, Jiang Xia would definitely not follow the footsteps of Kudo Shinichi and be silenced by being hit on the back of the head.
So Haibara Ai packed her lunch box and went back.
When she arrived in the yard, she suddenly saw a few children peeking out of the door - they were the Young Detectives who came to find her to go to school together.
Huiyuan Ai glanced at the three small figures and was stunned for a moment - Kudo was not there? Could he have wandered off to Jiang Xia again?
…
Jiang Xia didn't see many children who ventured past his house.
By this time he had gone to the other side of the street, successfully found a car as described in the email, and got in.
Yoko Kinoshita was in the car, but Toru Amuro made the excuse that he had something to do and did not come over.
Jiang Xia: “…” Although the boss is usually busy, but considering his behavior last night, it seems like he doesn’t want to act with me.
...How can there be such a weird boss in the world? None of his employees hate being with him, but the boss avoids him instead. Is this fair?
Jiang Xia's mood became average.
But soon, the famous detective's smile became sunny again: when he arrived at the place he wanted to investigate and just got off the car, a first-grade student with a skateboard waved at him - Conan skipped class and followed him stealthily.
Jiang Xia looked at the approaching figure and smiled: "You always say that I skip classes, but you also skip classes every day."
Conan's eyes drifted: "How can they be the same? I have taken the elementary school classes once, but you have never taken the second and third year high school classes."
Jiang Xia was not really condemning Conan for skipping classes. Instead, he strongly supported this efficient behavior that did not waste life.
…
They didn't have a live broadcast today. Yoko Kinoshita brought a camera with her own. After filming, she will edit this segment into the next program depending on the situation.
The live broadcast was originally intended to build momentum for the upcoming show, and the show was in turn building momentum for the commendation ceremony. Although the live broadcast was interrupted due to an accident, the popularity has already risen, no slower than a 24-hour broadcast. There are even residents along the river who have taken the initiative to help keep an eye out for bodies in the river, but none have been found yet.
After getting off the car, Jiang Xia turned around and looked at Yoko Kinoshita, who was holding a small camera and filming him.
Jiang Xia suddenly had an idea: "It would be nice if I had a reliable assistant."
Not only can he help take photos for evidence and attract customers, but he can also help stop the boss's car when necessary: if there is a living person standing in front of the car, Toru Amuro will never run over it directly, unless that person is Shuichi Akai.
Jiang Xia: “…” So when will Hashimoto Maya’s money arrive?
Forget about Rum. It has been nearly 24 hours since he tactfully raised his request in the car, and the efficiency on the boss' side is surprisingly low... Could it be that the cadre confidant is actually an important position that cannot be transferred casually?
As he thought about it, he sighed: Forget it, let's wait a little longer. Right now, I have other things to do. After the commendation meeting for the congressman is over, if the new younger brother hasn't come yet, I will try to urge him, or transfer Okiya Subaru over.
Yoko Kinoshita didn't know the many stories behind this sigh, and thought Jiang Xia was worried that she was too tired from filming.
She smiled, patted her arms, and showed Jiang Xia her biceps, which were completely invisible but theoretically did exist: "This camera is not heavy for me at all. Actually, my assistant wants to help with the filming, but this is your personal commission after all. It would be bad if someone unrelated leaked the information."
In addition, she herself found it very interesting to be an assistant to a famous detective - she happened to have taken on a drama with a similar role, so she could rehearse it in advance.
…
Although he wanted to find the kidnappers, Katsuhiko Takei refused to cooperate, so Jiang Xia did not start with his business competitors.
The three of them went to the river together to check the gap in the railing that was knocked open by the kidnappers' car.
Just as I found the place, I saw a man standing in the gap of the railing, facing the river with his head down.
Jiang Xia paused for a moment.
Kinoshita Yoko recognized the figure and poked her head out from behind the camera: "Ms. Hanai?"
——This is the secretary of the hostage’s father whom I met yesterday.
Secretary Hanai was still distracted like yesterday, and Kinoshita Yoko called her twice but she didn't respond. Jiang Xia walked over and patted her shoulder. Secretary Hanai was startled and almost fell into the river.
Jiang Xia grabbed her arm in time and pulled her back.
Only then did Hanai Akiko come to her senses and stood up again in fear.
Conan wanted to help her, but his arms and legs were too short to reach her, so he could only look at her worriedly: "Sister Hanai, are you okay? Why didn't you respond when I called you just now?"
Secretary Hua Jing shook her head helplessly: "Sorry, I didn't hear you talking. My ears have been uncomfortable these days. Maybe I'm too anxious."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pinched her nose. Then she quickly calmed down and looked at Jiang Xia: "Why did you come here? Aren't you looking for the kidnappers?"
