Chapter 1973 1981 [Night visit from Secretary Uzo]
Hashimoto Maya lowered her head and looked at Conan. At this moment, he really hoped that a heroic parent would drop from the sky, pick up this kid and spank him hard... Unfortunately, Mouri Kogoro was drunk nearby, and Conan was not annoyed by him, so the middle-aged man pretended not to see it, yawned, and passed by leisurely.
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
He had to extricate himself from the dilemma and explain why he switched jobs from Edward: "Didn't I say it before? After the plane accident, Mr. Edward and I always think of that bad experience when we see each other, so we haven't been in touch for a long time."
Conan knew about this and always felt it was an excuse: "We are also passengers on the plane. Do you think it's okay just because you look at Jiang Xia every day?"
Hashimoto Maya took a deep breath and said, "If Mr. Edward hadn't accidentally touched the valve switch that balanced the oil volume, causing all the oil to leak out, we would have experienced fewer emergencies. Although it's not nice to say this, in my heart, he was actually part of the disaster at that time - but Jiang Xia was different. Jiang Xia was the one who saved the entire plane. When I saw him, it was like seeing the dawn of hope."
...I'm sorry, Mr. Ireland. It was Uzo's minions who forced me to do this! All the words I said were for work purposes and had nothing to do with my true feelings. You are not a disaster star, but my former good boss!
Conan pondered the words suspiciously, and had to admit that there was some truth to them. Asking too many questions might expose his abnormality, so this aggressive pseudo-child decided to quit while he was ahead.
He nodded: "So that's how it is. It seems I misunderstood you."
I tried to use the innocent voice of a child to make Maya Hashimoto let down her guard so that this guy would reveal more solid flaws next time.
…
Although Hashimoto Maya seemed eager to take up the post immediately, his excessive eagerness made him appear overly suspicious.
So in the end, the new employee suppressed his ambition, said goodbye to Jiang Xia politely, and left with a calm expression but actually very happy.
Jiang Xia looked at his back from afar: "..." Does this guy want to get off work or not?
But forget it, what does it matter whether you want to or not? You still have to come and check in.
The unscrupulous boss withdrew his gaze and started on his way home.
…
"Hashimoto Maya should be going to the detective agency soon." Jiang Xia remembered something. "After all, she's a new employee, and she has to meet with Boss Amuro. It would be too ordinary for her to start work without any special features. I have to help her dress up and leave a deep enough impression on the real boss of the agency."
Thinking of this, he quickly thought of a nice set of decorations - sunglasses and a knitted hat.
"It's not because knitted hats are a standard feature of Akai Shuichi, and Hashimoto Maya's resemblance to him would increase significantly if she wore this. It's because the new kid has become a detective, and in order to prevent him from accidentally dropping his hair at the scene when examining a corpse and causing trouble, I, as his superior, need to give him a hat to remind him to always wear it and protect his innocence."
The more Jiang Xia thought about it, the more he felt that this arrangement was a good one.
Soon, the lights in Jiang Xia's house dimmed, and the owner seemed to have fallen into a regular sleep. But not long after, another figure climbed out of his window and fell to the ground silently.
Jiang Xia drove Miss Spider's puppet, adjusted her skirt after landing, and turned to walk out of the yard.
——For such a small matter as delivering gifts, it would seem a bit of an overreaction if Jinpei Matsuda, the "Usa", were to come in person.
In this case, let this temporary external secretary come on stage. Anyway, she had already met Ireland in London, so it was normal for her to meet this former confidant of Ireland again.
…
Early morning.
Maya Hashimoto was resting in her new residence. Suddenly, in her light sleep, she vaguely heard the sound of a window sliding open.
He was startled, and before he fully woke up, he had already grabbed the gun hidden beside his pillow, rolled over to the inside of the bed, and then leaned his back against the wall, quietly sticking his head out as if he was hiding in a trench.
—— Normally he wouldn’t be so alert, but now that he had just moved to a new residence and had a scary new boss, Hashimoto Maya couldn’t sleep even if he wanted to.
I thought this kind of shallow sleep would only reduce my efficiency, but I didn't expect an accident to happen on the first night after changing my residence.
He looked towards the window with great vigilance, and then, in the moonlight, he saw a figure in the room.
It was a strange woman, wearing a slightly fluffy black long dress, with her shoulders exposed, casting white moonlight. She wore a black gauze hair ornament diagonally on her head, which was not wide and only lightly covered half of her forehead.
She broke into someone else's room and was discovered by the owner, but she was not panicked at all. She just stretched out a white hand, pulled out the stool next to the desk, and sat down very gracefully.
Then his eyes fell to the bedside: "What are you doing there? You're welcome, please sit down."
Hashimoto Maya: “?”
...Am I the owner of the house or are you the owner?
By the way, who is this person?
Maya Hashimoto's eyes fell on her, staring at the black dress and hair accessories, and suddenly remembered something.
While in London, Mr. Ireland revealed some of his experiences, including information about a woman in black - she was said to be a minion of Uzo.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Uzo has too many minions. He is already so scary, why does he need to develop more subordinates?
However, thinking of Uzo's extremely high murder efficiency and his seemingly high status in the organization, he felt that everything made sense.
Hashimoto Maya looked at the woman in black and saw that she didn't have a gun or anything in her hand, so she spoke cautiously, "Are you the one sent by that master?"
He felt uncomfortable after being called that. The word "that adult" sounded too flattering.
...But before he had thoroughly figured out the other party's identity, he didn't dare reveal Uzo's code name. If he didn't call him that, he couldn't say "that guy", "that thing", "that person" - no matter which one sounded disrespectful.
Rather than being bullied by your boss, just be a bit flattering.
After her conscience, Maya Hashimoto desperately abandoned her moral integrity.
Fortunately, the woman in black opposite him didn't seem to have any objection to his address. She nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Wu Zuo is quite satisfied with your performance today. Let me give you a job gift on his behalf."
Hashimoto Maya had almost stood up, but when she heard about the induction ceremony, she almost shrank back: Uzo would give gifts to people? Was it a murder case or a serial murder case? Did he do something wrong today, and this woman came to silence him? !
Just as he was thinking in a cold sweat, the woman in black reached out and took out a pure black bag with silver patterns on it from behind her - it turned out to be a gift bag, and it was a very expensive brand name bag, and it was obvious that it was bought recently.
Hashimoto Maya: “?”
