Chapter 1882 1890 [My younger brother wants to come to me for help]
Miwako Sato: "And the Hokkaido police actually sent a superintendent to take over this threat case. I heard that it was because the signature on the threatening letter was quite special."
A superintendent, and a special signature that can send a superintendent out?
Jiang Xia was very excited: "Drive faster."
Miwako Sato paused for a moment as she gripped the steering wheel: "..." You actually think she drives slowly? It's obvious that Jiang Xia is racing late at night... It's time for those colleagues at the Ministry of Transportation to step up their night duty.
"Is that the hotel?"
Suzuki Sonoko was leaning between the seats of the car in front of her, and she saw the scene in the distance with her sharp eyes: "It's actually a green wall. The owner of this hotel has a unique aesthetic."
Jiang Xia looked in the direction she was pointing, along the wide street covered with white snow, and up the gentle slope in front. He saw a three-story Western-style building standing on the top of the slope.
Miwako Sato's driving speed was never inferior to others. Soon she drove them into the hotel yard and parked the car.
Jiang Xia felt that the ghosts were in a good mood before he opened the door. After opening the door and getting out of the car, he glanced upstairs and was slightly startled: Why is there the scent of iced black tea again?
...He follows me wherever I go. Is this new brother so impatient to join the company?
The psychic is very satisfied with this positive work attitude.
He turned his head to look in the direction where the smell of iced black tea was coming from, intending to raise his hand to say hello to his new brother, but Hashimoto Maya coughed violently, shut the window tightly, and drew the curtains, looking like she was refusing to communicate. More importantly, the murderous aura of the iced black tea smell seemed to have stopped, and it shrank without a trace.
Jiang Xia: “……?”
…
No matter what, meeting is fate.
Now that they are here, they can't run away. Although Jiang Xia is a little surprised that Hashimoto Maya would come to such a place on her own initiative, at this moment, his attention is more focused on the hotel lobby than on this tactless subordinate who has completely suppressed his murderous aura.
——There is a banquet hall right at the entrance, with bright lights.
In stark contrast to the population density of Hokkaido, the lobby was packed with people at this time. A group of guests dressed oddly gathered in twos and threes, happily chatting about something, while others were dragging their suitcases and checking in at the front desk.
"It's so beautiful! It feels like I've traveled back to England in the last century." Mao Lilan's heavy mood suddenly became clear again.
Although I have heard that there have been some minor incidents such as "threatening letters" that disturbed people's travels, I believe that with Officers Jiang Xia and Sato around, things will be resolved smoothly soon. They will definitely be able to find the guy who sent the threatening letter to the troupe.
Miwako Sato has classmates in the theater troupe and is quite familiar with the place.
Seeing Jiang Xia looking at those people wearing tuxedos, beards and wigs, Sato Miwako smiled and said, "You should have seen the performance information. The mystery play prepared by the Aphrodite Theater is called "The Murderer in the Mirror", and it will be performed for the first time today."
As a Sherlock Holmes fan, Conan immediately understood the strange phenomenon in the hall: "So these guests arrived early to solve the mystery before the play is broadcast tonight? How interesting..."
He pushed his glasses up, his fighting spirit burning: I will definitely be the first to solve the puzzle! ... I just need to keep an eye on Jiang Xia and tell him not to spoil the plot.
But speaking of this, Conan suddenly frowned, a little confused.
He turned his head and looked towards a corner of the hotel. His gaze passed through layers of walls and fell on a room in the distance.
Conan: "..." He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he got off the bus just now, he seemed to see someone he had seen several times.
It's just that the man closed the window too quickly and he didn't see clearly.
But it's not a big problem, we're all staying at the same hotel. After we officially check in, we'll find a chance to go over and take a look.
As a few people were talking, a young woman suddenly saw Sato Miwako and walked over quickly.
Miwako Sato sensed someone approaching, turned her head and greeted with a smile: "Hanae! Long time no see - this time not only did I come alone, but I also met a powerful helper..."
She pulled Jiang Xia over, pressed Jiang Xia's shoulders and pushed him forward, with a bit of inexplicable pride: "How is it, do you know him? With him here, he can definitely help you find the threat!"
The young woman was wearing a light-colored dress, with her long, smooth hair casually falling over her shoulders. It was obviously just the most ordinary outfit, but paired with that face, it was simply stunning.
She looked at Jiang Xia and was slightly startled: "It's the detective... Hello."
His attitude was not as enthusiastic as Officer Sato had imagined, but rather a little worried.
Miwako Sato looked at her, then at Jiang Xia: Strange, this is different from the scene when she introduced Jiang Xia to other female colleagues. Obviously, Jiang Xia is not much different from usual.
Wen Yue Hua Lian's attitude was calm, but someone became excited.
Mao Lilan looked at the rising star up close, her eyes lit up. She skillfully took out the autograph book from her pocket and shyly said, "I've seen your promotional pictures. Are you Miss Wen Yue Hua Lian?"
After saying that, Mao Lilan was slightly stunned, looked at Sato Miwako, and remembered something: If she heard correctly, Officer Sato called her "Hanae" just now?
The young woman seemed to see her confusion and smiled faintly: "Hanae is my real name, and 'Wenyue Hualian' is the stage name I use now."
As she spoke, she took the autograph book from Mao Lilan's hand, signed her name on it kindly, and handed it back to her.
Then, Wen Yue Hua Lian turned to the high school students and introduced herself, "I am Wen Yue Hua Lian, an actor of the Aphrodite Theater. I am sorry for the trouble caused by the threatening letter. Please enjoy the performance these days. You can come to me if you have any questions."
Suzuki Sonoko scratched her headband embarrassedly: "Of course, of course." In fact, they were not here specifically to deal with any threatening letters, they were just here to draw a lottery and watch the play.
But on second thought, since I have met Officer Sato, as long as I accept the commission to investigate the threatening letters, wouldn't I be able to sneak backstage and observe the stars' rehearsal performances up close?
Thinking of this, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up. She looked at Jiang Xia and blinked, hinting wildly.
Jiang Xia did not forget the important matter and asked Sato Miwako: "Where is the threatening letter? Can you show it to me?"
Officer Sato then remembered the important matter, touched the big bag she brought, and took out a greeting card from it.
This is a beautiful Christmas card with a red cover and a light gold inner page, which is in line with the color scheme of Christmas.
The card is folded in the middle, with a cute Santa Claus picture on the left and a few lines of printed words on the right:
[On this sacred night, those who defile my Alien House will be punished by death.
——Santa Claus with red beard]
