Chapter 1839-1847 [Detective Fangirl]
The waiter next to him was equally confused: "I don't know who put it here, but we didn't dare to throw it away because the packaging was very beautiful."
The vice president didn't have so many concerns. He snorted, "I want to see what this is."
As he said that, he walked forward and opened the gift box.
Jiang Xia and his friends happened to pass by and took a look. They found a pure white dress inside, which looked like a wedding dress.
It makes perfect sense for a wedding dress to appear on the catwalk of a bridal show.
But what was strange was that the gift box used to store the wedding dress was wrapped with a black ribbon, and the atmosphere was more like a funeral than a wedding.
The vice president cursed: "What the hell."
Nearby, Naoko Torimaru also noticed the movement here. She picked up the wedding dress and looked at it carefully: "This is not our work, could it be from Rokujo?"
As she was speaking, there was a sudden jingle sound, and a silver coin fell out from the folds of the wedding dress and landed on the ground.
The coin just rolled down to Jiang Xia's feet, and he picked it up. Suzuki Sonoko took a closer look with curiosity: "It looks like a French coin."
The assistant who was passing by was startled, and suddenly remembered something, blurting out: "Could it be the 'Funeral Silver Coin'?"
Mao Lilan felt something was wrong when she heard the name, and got goose bumps all over her body, but she was also curious: "What does it mean?"
After all, the assistant worked at a wedding dress design company, so she had some knowledge of these customs. "It seems that some scholars believe that this kind of silver coin was closely related to 'death' and 'wedding' in ancient Europe. I heard that in some more traditional villages, there is still a custom of burying the dead in a pure white wedding dress. When the dead are buried in this way, this kind of funeral silver coin will be placed on their chest."
Jiang Xia looked at the wedding dress and thought, "So when you were seriously preparing for the fashion show, someone sent you a shroud to ruin the atmosphere? That's too much."
After saying that, she glanced at everyone quietly. Unfortunately, perhaps because the wedding dress was not clear enough, most people looked unmoved, but no murderous intent flashed in their eyes.
The vice president looked gloomy, threw away the silk ribbon in his hand, and pointed at Torimaru Naoko next to him: "Hurry up and get rid of this thing!"
The group of people were a little busy because of this little episode.
On the other side, the main banquet hall was empty.
The door creaked open a crack, Takamori Masumi stood at the door, looked inside, clenched his fists, and walked in resolutely.
——She never thought that after she had finally solved a threat on her own, it would lead to a second threat.
This time, the threat maker didn't even show up, so even if she wanted to die with him, she had no chance.
The man's devilish words echoed in Takamori Masumi's mind: "As long as you listen to me, I won't tell anyone that you have killed anyone. Don't worry, what you need to do is very simple - there is a capsule in the envelope, you just need to pour the medicine in the capsule into Torimaru Naoko's wine glass. Of course, if you don't do it on time..."
While thinking, Takamori Masumi had already arrived at the seat where Torimaru Naoko was sitting. At the banquet, the seats of these company executives had been fixed in advance, and there were corresponding nameplates on the seats, so it was not difficult to locate them.
Takamori Masumi took a deep breath, unscrewed the capsule with trembling hands, and poured the tiny amount of liquid inside into an empty goblet.
"That should be enough." Takamori Masumi was horrified but calm, and he quietly sorted out the steps of the murder in his mind, "The next step is to deal with this water-soluble capsule shell..."
"Classmate Gao Sen?"
A voice suddenly came from behind.
"!!" Takamori Masumi's hands trembled. She hid the capsule shell and turned around. When she looked up, she saw a nightmare face, "Jiang Xia?!"
Jiang Xia was rarely stared at like this, except for Vodka. He looked at the model classmate in front of him with some curiosity.
Being stared at by him, Takamori Masumi instantly broke out in a cold sweat. She immediately realized that her reaction was really weird.
After thinking about it, Takamori Masumi could only jump back a few steps like a girl, using all her acting skills to show a shy expression. She bit the bullet and said, "Actually, I, I'm your fan! Don't get so close to me suddenly, my heart will jump out of my chest!"
Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran were already frightened by her scream, and were frightened again when they heard these words.
When they were chasing stars, they did see some girls screaming in fear at the stars, and their conditions were not much different from when they were in the haunted house... I didn't expect that Masumi Takamori's personality was so different when she was a child and now.
However, classmates like this look more like people of the same age.
Suzuki Sonoko comforted her happily: "Don't be afraid, Jiang Xia is a very nice person. You just met him so you don't know. You will know after you go out together a few times."
"Yes, is that so?" Takamori Masumi's face almost froze with laughter. "That's great, I'm really looking forward to it!"
Jiang Xia's gaze paused on her for a moment, and he smiled: "I'm looking forward to it too."
Takamori Masumi: "..."Don't! !
The high school students seemed to be having a pleasant conversation and enjoying themselves.
Only one dedicated primary school student still remembered the business.
Conan recalled the scene where Takamori Masumi was standing alone at the table. "Sister Masumi, what are you doing standing here alone? The party hasn't started yet."
Takamori Masumi's heart, which had just calmed down, started beating again: "I, I'm suddenly very hungry, and I want to find something to fill my stomach."
"Yeah, I'm thirsty too." Jiang Xia said, reaching out to take the wine glass on the table. Just as he touched the rim of the glass, it was snatched away by Takamori Masumi.
Maybe because of her anxiety, the murderous aura on the high school girl suddenly puffed up.
Jiang Xia put down his hand with satisfaction. Although it wasn't much, he mainly enjoyed the process of fertilizing.
Takamori Masumi tightly grasped the cup, and the hairs on her back stood up in fear. She tried to smile: "These are all cleaned and arranged by the waiter, so you can't just use them casually. There seem to be drinks in the cabinet over there, let's go check it out."
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan heard her and looked over where she pointed. They actually found a big box of juice: "Here!"
Jiang Xia walked over.
Conan originally wanted to stay and see what happened, but Mao Li Ran was afraid that he would run around and mess up the neatly arranged dining table, so she took him away as well.
After the four people left, Takamori Masumi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the fingerprints off the goblet vigorously: "..." It's too dangerous to be in a place with a detective. Damn, when will that detective go back?
