Chapter 17701777 [Don’t compete with me for the detective]
After that, in order to prevent President Ishimoto from suddenly having a guilty conscience and giving the person to him, Curacao added: "Since you came here first, then of course the person belongs to you. Your vision... is very unique."
It turned out that she wanted to hire a detective but failed. This was consistent with her extremely complicated and even slightly distorted expression just now.
Others didn't think much of it.
However, President Ishimoto felt that the waitress's words were a little strange, as if there was something else behind her words.
But after all, the other party was just a waitress, and a young and beautiful woman. He was too lazy to care about it and didn't say anything.
The female secretary looked at the police and said, "Then I will take the president to the hospital first. If you have any questions, please contact me first and don't always disturb the president's rest."
"Okay." Since the other party refused, Inspector Megure didn't have to protect them. He just felt a little sorry: Jiang Xia was actually taken away by these two people. How can they solve the case quickly now?
Inspector Megure could only tell Jiang Xia what he had just found out before he left, hoping that brother Jiang Xia would have an idea soon and find the answer: "We checked the guest list one by one, and there was no information about the tall and thin man with sunglasses on it. We don't know how he got into the venue. But we have set up a dragnet nearby. If that guy comes back, he will be caught on the spot."
After that, perhaps knowing that there aren't many criminals this daring, he added, "Chiba and the others are screening criminals with previous criminal records. Unfortunately, that man was wearing gloves and seemed to have used hairspray, so there were very few traces left. If I have any news, I'll let you know right away."
President Ishimoto and his secretary had no idea what they had been through, and they seemed to have a very bad impression of the police.
Seeing Inspector Megure dilly-dallying, President Ishimoto became a little impatient: "That's enough, can't you police solve the case yourselves?" Why are you competing with the citizens for detectives.
Jiang Xia seemed to have some professional ethics. He said goodbye to Inspector Megure and said, "I will contact you as soon as I have an idea."
Inspector Megure sighed and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you then." That was all he could do.
…
Jiang Xia left with President Ishimoto and his secretary.
Curacao was silent for a moment. She exchanged a few polite words with the police, left her contact information, and walked to the other side.
Before leaving, she saw a short figure slithering out of the venue and chasing Jiang Xia out.
Curacao: “…” This young little brother is quite loyal. He follows me so eagerly. Isn’t he afraid of Uzo at all?
However, the control method of children is different from that of adults. Wu Zuo may have revealed another side of him, such as the false image of a "friend of children" - anyway, judging from Jiang Xia's sunny and cheerful appearance as a famous detective, this guy is young, but his acting skills are not bad. I don't know if he has received the true teachings of Vermouth.
Anyway, as someone who "just met Jiang Xia", Curacao didn't go to the hospital. She continued on her way and disappeared quickly.
…
Late at night, President Ishimoto's luxury car drove all the way from the venue to the hospital.
He seemed to visit this hospital frequently and was familiar with the medical staff. As soon as he arrived, a nurse took him to see a doctor to check his wound. The female secretary took Jiang Xia to a room upstairs.
Although it is a hospital ward, this room looks no different from a luxury hotel suite. The bedroom is equipped with a comfortable double bed, sofa, murals, and even green leafy plants to purify the air.
Inside the suite was a bedroom, and outside was a living room-like room. There was a tea set on the table, a refrigerator in the corner, and a bed on one side of the room.
"President Ishimoto is resting in his bedroom tonight." The female secretary gently closed the bedroom door and motioned Jiang Xia to come to the living room. "Please take care of the outer room. There is only one exit between the two rooms. If anyone wants to enter the president's bedroom, they have to pass by you. So this job may be dangerous."
"It's okay." Jiang Xia didn't think it was a big problem. But he still had to say some polite words. Jiang Xia looked at the secretary and said, "You've been very thoughtful."
The female secretary smiled modestly: "Our company's major affairs are all managed by the president. If he falls, the company will be finished."
Conan looked around and asked the secretary: "But there is only one bed here, where do you sleep at night?"
The secretary was shocked: When did a child appear in the room? !
Fortunately, he was just an elementary school student who looked harmless, not some elusive ghost.
The female secretary calmed down again, bent down and touched his head: "I feel relieved to have Jiang Xia here, and I, an untrained woman, can't help much. Staying here will only get in the way, so I will go home and rest tonight."
"Is that so?" Conan remembered her strange behavior before and was secretly alert: this means there is no alibi, and no one knows where the secretary will be and what she will be doing tonight.
As they were talking, the door to the living room was pushed open and President Ishimoto strode in.
The doctor re-examined his wound and confirmed that it was not serious. He seemed to be in a much better mood than before.
President Ishimoto looked at Jiang Xia and said, "How is it? This room is nice, it must be more comfortable than that police hospital. I'm going to trouble you tonight, don't let those suspicious people pose a threat to me."
Jiang Xia nodded professionally: "Okay."
The female secretary was rude to the police, but was quite respectful to the president: "Is your shoulder okay?"
"It's nothing serious, just a few scratches." President Ishimoto waved his hand nonchalantly, "By the way, you should handle Councillor Takata's matter."
The secretary said seriously: "Don't worry, I will make sure it's properly arranged."
President Ishimoto nodded. The incident was the dinner party, and it was actually getting late. He yawned, went into the bedroom, closed the door, and planned to rest.
Conan withdrew his gaze from the bedroom door and looked at the female secretary curiously: "What's the matter with Councillor Takada? Does your president have a personal relationship with him?"
The female secretary sighed, "It's about the funeral and the funeral expenses. After all, the murderer came for our president but killed him by mistake. They didn't know each other before this."
Conan: "So this is it..."
"Conan!" A voice suddenly came from the door of the ward.
As Conan's expression suddenly changed, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko rushed over to catch the child who was running around late at night: "Don't cause trouble for Jiang Xia anymore, look at the time now, go back to bed!"
"?" Jiang Xia originally wanted to secretly leave Conan in the hospital, but when he saw this scene, he was stunned, "How did you find this place?"
