Chapter 1738 1746 [The murderous intention of the councillor] Asking for monthly votes (〃〃)
No matter how famous the high school student detective was, he was just a private detective who had just made his mark, far from their status. In addition, the media loved to exaggerate the facts, so Councillor Takada and his secretary had only heard about Jiang Xia's experience and had never really studied it carefully.
Unexpectedly, now, the detective not only encountered a case during the warm-up live broadcast of the commendation meeting, but also happened to encounter a case related to them, and even inadvertently caused trouble for them.
Congressman Takada stared at the screen intently, his mind constantly flashing with the murderer's twisted and happy face, as well as keywords such as apartment, hotel, and scandal: "..." It was just before the election, and he was giving speeches, trying to build relationships, and even lowering his status to give an award to that young boy. If a scandal broke out at this critical moment...
Councillor Takata choked on his breath, covered his chest, and plopped down on the sofa.
The secretary and his wife were both shocked. The secretary quickly looked for emergency medicine and called for a doctor.
His wife also ran over and shook the congressman's hand, and said worriedly: "Why are you so angry? Is that reporter hinting at you? Don't worry, everyone has a few fabricated scandals. It must be your old opponents..."
As she was talking, she suddenly felt something was wrong and her eyes became suspicious: "Wait, there's a hotel and an apartment, what kind of scandal is this? Why are you reacting so strongly? Could it be true?"
Representative Takada: “…”
In fact, he didn't feel that bad at first, but now he had to pretend.
Congressman Takata took a deep breath, suddenly closed his eyes, and fell straight onto the sofa.
"Masao?!" The wife had never seen such a scene before and was frightened.
The secretary came hurriedly, followed by several medical staff: "The stretcher is at the door."
A group of people carried Congressman Takata into the car.
After leaving the house and out of his wife's sight, Councillor Takata breathed a sigh of relief.
The secretary was stunned for a moment when she saw his face return to normal. Then she leaned in and whispered, "Don't worry, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible. That tactless high school detective will also pay the price."
Even if they couldn't attack Jiang Xia directly, it would be easy to embarrass him and ruin his reputation at the commendation meeting for such a young student with little experience.
…
"I don't know who the big shot that Hashizume Akira has a handle on is." Jiang Xia sighed, as if he remembered something, and quietly asked Amuro Toru, "Boss, do you have any ideas?"
Amuro Toru guessed it.
But for a high school detective, it seems that these dirty news should not be deeply touched. So he lowered his face and showed a mysterious smile that belonged to Bourbon: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, so that you can live longer."
"Okay." Jiang Xia wasn't originally curious about this. He plucked a few strands of murderous coffee from the bourbon state and used this topic to start something else. "Will you still come to the live broadcast later? Let's have dinner together tonight and discuss it. I have to thank you for getting me out of the warehouse today."
Toru Amuro: “…” To thank him, you invite him to dinner together in the evening?
A word suddenly popped up in his mind - repaying kindness with enmity.
“…”
After a moment of silence, Amuro Toru tried to shake off the strange thoughts and maintained a cold expression: "You have delayed my schedule a lot, and I have other things to do. Besides, I only have one day with the program team, and I am already overloaded with work. Don't recommend me to the program team anymore."
"Oh." Jiang Xia felt a little regretful. He was rejected as the host, but he did not forget another thing, "Then dinner..."
"When I say 'other things', I also mean using your dinner time to discuss matters related to the show." Toru Amuro ruthlessly refused again.
Just at this moment he finally walked to the car. Amuro Toru breathed a sigh of relief silently, opened the car door, got in, and drove away, quickly leaving the scene.
Jiang Xia looked at the back of the car going away and sighed: Although I can puncture the boss's tire, this place is different from the last time. There are bus stops and subway stations nearby. And looking at Amuro Toru's determination at this time, even if there is no room on the bus and he has to sit on the roof, he will definitely leave.
"Rather than using physical means, it seems that I should try to correct the boss's attitude towards me." Jiang Xia fell into deep thought, "Why doesn't he like going out with me? The boss himself is a detective, but he has no interest in solving cases. It's really strange..."
…
The program crew suddenly came across big news. Although they only touched on a small part of it, they still got busy and began to review the case they encountered today on the show and on the official website.
In addition, it is almost time to go home from school, so even if he goes to school now, he cannot film the daily life of the famous detective. Therefore, today's live broadcast will be temporarily ended, and the director decided to go to Jiangxia's school tomorrow to continue the broadcast.
Because he failed to catch Toru Amuro, Jiang Xia went to Yoko Kinoshita's house for a free meal.
This time he brought Conan with him.
Unfortunately, perhaps because there had been a case today, or perhaps because Conan was always distracted, everything was calm and nothing happened during the meal.
Kinoshita Yoko used a small fork to pick at her salad. Thinking of her schedule over the past few days, she couldn't help but smile and looked at Jiang Xia: "Although you went to school nominally to film 'The Daily Life of a High School Detective', the people in the program and some viewers may not know that what you filmed over the past two days is your real daily life."
Conan: “…” It’s true.
By the way, Jiang Xia skipped classes every day and no one stopped him. Although he was always late for classes because of cases and transcripts, he only missed a few classes a week at most, and had to stay in school most of the time, while Jiang Xia could run around freely... Damn, when I thought about it, I was actually a little envious.
Jiang Xia really didn't want to stay in school: "I think it's best to keep filming in Beika Town. After all, there's not much to watch in school. Most of the audience have experienced school days and know what it's like to go to school."
Conan laughed and said, "You are wrong. I remember that the school festival is coming soon, and each class will have to prepare a program. Everyone should be busy preparing for this in the past two days."
Of course, there are definitely people reviewing for exams, but this isn’t a big exam, so reviewing is boring. Compared to reviewing, everyone’s attention is definitely on the campus festival, which was the case last year.
Yoko Kinoshita was a little surprised and looked at this first-grader: "Do you know so much about high school?" ... He actually knows more about it than Jiang Xia, a genuine high school student!
"..." Conan scooped a spoonful of children's meal obediently and said, "It was Xiaolan who told me. She is also busy preparing for the show recently."
