Chapter 1883 1891 [Don’t come over here! ]
"Santa Claus with a red beard?" Perhaps because the Q-shaped picture on the left was too cute, even the two high school girls did not show too much panic about the invitation.
Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin and suddenly said solemnly: "Something is wrong."
Sato Miwako was stunned: Shouldn't this be Jiang Xia's line? But Jiang Xia hasn't said anything yet, and it was Suzuki Sonoko who first noticed something was wrong. Could it be that after hanging out with Jiang Xia for too long, this high school girl who used to scream when she saw a corpse has unknowingly been trained to become a detective?
She was a little curious: "What did you find?"
"Huh? Didn't you see something so obvious?" Suzuki Sonoko raised her head proudly, and suddenly looked at the Christmas picture on the left, "Look! The signature is 'Santa Claus with a red beard', but in this picture, Santa's beard is white. It's so imprecise and doesn't match the habits of a murderer. Maybe this threatening letter is just a prop sent by the troupe to stir up the atmosphere."
Jiang Xia: “…” That makes sense.
If there weren't so many murderous auras floating around, he might have really believed it.
But of course we should encourage students who want to be detectives. Jiang Xia applauded: "The idea is very novel."
Suzuki Sonoko received the authoritative certification, her mood improved dramatically, and her chin was raised even higher.
At this moment, a cold voice floated over: "A high school detective who came all the way from Tokyo, is this how he solves cases?"
Several people were startled and turned to look, only to see a neatly dressed woman appear beside them at some point.
The man frowned and looked at them with disgust, his gaze finally fell on Sato Miwako: "Are you the police officer from Tokyo? Come if you want, why bring a detective with you?"
Conan was dissatisfied: "..." Why do you make the detective sound like a dish?
Sato Miwako extended her hand to the woman. "I am Sato Miwako from the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. I have heard of you for a long time. Are you the Fuwa Inspector of Hokkaido?"
She had heard of this Fuwa police inspector a long time ago. It was said that Fuwa Narumi was a strong woman. From her style to her appearance, she was as hard as a slate painting. So although she had never deliberately seen the photo, now that she met the real person, Sato Miwako quickly made a guess.
Fuwa Narumi nodded and acknowledged her identity. She said unceremoniously: "You are here for the threatening letter. Unfortunately, there is no place for you to perform here. This hotel is under the supervision of our Hokkaido police. Since you are here under the pretext of vacation, you'd better treat this as a vacation and have a good rest."
At the same time, she glanced at Jiang Xia and said, "And you, I don't care how many cases you solved in Tokyo. Now that you are in Hokkaido, you must follow the instructions of our police. If you hinder the search, we will not spare you any responsibility."
…
"He's just a police inspector, but you're so rude!"
The group carried their suitcases up to the third floor. After they were completely out of Fuwa Narumi's sight, Suzuki Sonoko said angrily, "We are not here to cause trouble. We are here to help."
Jiang Xia sighed: "There are not many detectives in Hokkaido. Maybe she is not used to it. If more people are willing to switch careers and become detectives, there shouldn't be such a problem."
In a room next to it.
Hashimoto Maya, Kurosawa Kazuma and others huddled together at the door and eavesdropped on what was happening in the corridor.
Hearing this, Hashimoto Maya's eyes twitched slightly: "..." Jiang Xia still likes to persuade people to become detectives. How much does he like this industry that he would keep recommending it like this...
I was muttering to myself when suddenly, the footsteps outside stopped.
The three eavesdroppers looked at each other, and soon, they heard Jiang Xia's footsteps turn back, getting closer and closer, and stopping at their door.
For some reason, Maya Hashimoto's heart began beating violently. He instinctively held his breath and huddled behind the door without moving, as if he had turned into a statue.
Then, Jiang Xia was heard mumbling to his companions outside the door in confusion: "Why is there a red light coming out of the crack in the door? Could it be on fire? It would be troublesome if this old-fashioned building caught fire. Should we kick it open and see?"
The three people behind the door were startled: "..." Wait, what do you want to do! !
Fortunately, someone stopped the terrible detective.
"Please wait a moment." Wen Yue Hua Lian accompanied Jiang Xia upstairs. When she heard Jiang Xia's words, she quickly turned back to stop him. "Room 315 is like this. The red light is because the light in the room is red, not because there is a fire."
When Izuka Saburo heard the voice, he instinctively took a deep breath - Hualien! There was no mistake, the person at the door was his lovely Miss Hualien!
Maya Hashimoto gave him a threatening look and signaled him to be quiet.
But it was too late.
Jiang Xia: "Is there anyone breathing in the room?"
An elementary school student's voice echoed, "Indeed. And since the lights are on, that means someone is staying here. By the way, why does the hotel use such strange colored lights?"
Hashimoto Maya, who was just one door away, said: "…" That's a good question. I'll have to ask that annoying Hokkaido police inspector and the riddle master who didn't give any clues the whole time.
While he was thinking wildly, he waited anxiously for the group of people at the door to go away.
However, this group of high school students was as sticky as taffy and could not be shaken off.
At this moment, the elementary school student outside the door suddenly raised his hand and knocked on the door, as if he was very curious about the residents living in this strange room.
"Hey, why are you knocking on other people's doors?" Jiang Xia stopped him.
However, it could be heard that this high school student was equally curious, so his actions to stop his companions seemed very perfunctory, and his attention was also turned to the room.
Jiang Xia chatted with his companions: "Speaking of which, when I got off the car just now, I happened to look over here, and I seemed to see Mr. Hashimoto standing by the window—that is, George, the one we first met on the plane. I didn't expect that he would also come to Hokkaido."
“…”
Saburo Izuka looked at Maya Hashimoto, angry but not daring to say anything, but what he wanted to say was written in his eyes: I told you to run to the window for no reason, and you were discovered by someone you know!
Hashimoto Maya glared back: "..." How could I have thought that a Tokyo detective would suddenly appear in Hokkaido! Speaking of this, the management of Teitan Junior High School is too chaotic. Can't the approval of students' leave be stricter?
When he returns to Tokyo, he will definitely write an anonymous letter to complain.
But now that things have come to this, it seems that they can no longer pretend not to hear it - according to the schedule, since they are here as "temporary workers", they must help the crew. If this continues, they will meet Jiang Xia sooner or later.
