Chapter 1998 2006 [Drivers are all traitors]
Jiang Xia looked at the sign of the agency.
At the same time, Mist Tengu had already flown over, and soon it sent back a message: a large ball of fluffy murderous aura with the smell of iced black tea had fallen on the ground next to the front desk of the agency, and no one knew who had thrown it.
Jiang Xia: “…”
The new little brother can really drop murderous aura, and you don’t even have to pull it down hard. The only drawback is that the drop location is somewhat random.
But no matter what, if the psychic saw it, it was the psychic's. As soon as his eyes moved, the ghosts immediately understood and rushed forward to carry the murderous aura back.
Because of this pleasant little episode, Jiang Xia was in a good mood even though he didn't encounter any other murders while shopping.
After shopping and buying the book Conan wanted and the bag Haibara Ai liked, the three of them went out for dinner.
Afterwards, they carried their respective gains and went to the station in a good mood, ready to go home.
At this time, there were few people in the station and it seemed a bit empty.
Jiang Xia thought that his peaceful day would end here, but after passing the ticket gate, he looked up and saw a familiar hat on the platform.
——Aka...Maya Hashimoto!
"Why is it him again?" Conan also recognized him, and after being surprised, he became alert.
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said, "The movie theater is in this area. He might have something to do nearby after the case was over."
As he said that, he walked over and greeted him in a friendly manner: "Mr. Hashimoto? What a coincidence, I meet you again."
Hashimoto Maya was leaning against a pillar and yawning. Hearing these words out of the blue, he almost jumped up with a startle: "......?!"
Why is it you again!
Hashimoto Maya recognized Jiang Xia's voice and turned around with mixed feelings.
When his eyes fell on the two fake children next to Jiang Xia, he seemed to suddenly understand something and sighed tiredly in his heart.
——It’s time to get off work, and the office workers are all lying down at home, why are you two still curled up?
But since his two elementary school colleagues were so diligent, he, as an adult, couldn't show any weakness.
Hashimoto Maya could only try to raise his enthusiastic smile: "Jiang Xia! What a coincidence."
Jiang Xia nodded, but before he could say anything, Conan spoke innocently, "Hashimoto-san, I remember you have a car! Why don't you drive? Are you waiting for Jiang Xia-san here on purpose? You two have such a good relationship!"
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Damn it, it's fine if there's no volume, but there's also the infighting that continues all the time. What kind of devilish subordinates did Uzo choose? Why did he let an innocent ordinary person like him get mixed up with these guys? Can he really survive a year smoothly and live until Uzo starts the last elimination?
And I don't know why, but I always feel that from Conan to Toru Amuro to that pointed-faced kid, all the old employees are targeting him... Is this a necessary ordeal for newcomers, or has he been implicated by Mr. Ireland and been framed by Uzo?
Maya Hashimoto was feeling miserable.
But no matter what, things have come to this point and we can only make do with what we have for now.
He explained the challenge raised by his colleagues: "I just happened to be here. The road near my home is very narrow, so if there is nothing urgent, I generally don't like to drive out - and after becoming a detective, I found that I lack insight. Taking public transportation can help me meet more people. In the long run, I will definitely become a better detective."
While explaining, he also flattered him by trying to please him.
——If I remember correctly, Jiang Xia likes to recruit people to be detectives the most.
Sure enough, hearing that he was trying so hard to become a detective, even though his motives might not be pure, Jiang Xia still seemed to be in a very good mood.
He even took the initiative to invite: "Detective skills do need to be honed. If there are commissions or cases in the future, I will try to take you with me."
Hashimoto Maya smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Then after Jiang Xia looked away, he glanced at Conan and Haibara Ai out of the corner of his eye: Haha, as long as he opens the book seriously, no one can be his opponent!
Huiyuan Ai was puzzled: "?"
Conan: "..."Provocation?
…
Although he was very annoyed by being dragged into this, Maya Hashimoto still didn't want to get serious with two little kids who were less than half his age in total.
After staring at the two kids, he couldn't help but start to get distracted: Did he not want to drive? Of course not!
In fact, it was Uzo who asked him to take public transportation more often, and said that people should have a sense of ritual. If he really needed a car, he should try to ask Izuka Saburo to be the driver, and they could move together.
If it were the day before, Hashimoto Maya might have dared to secretly drive out in disobedience, but look at now: the agent wanted to rip him off, and the next moment he died; Jiang Xia said that the cinema could be converted into a haunted house, and the next moment Uzo gave him a task.
This level of information...
Maya Hashimoto decisively chose to take the train.
As for looking for Saburo Izuka... humph, even if he ran all over Tokyo on foot, he would not find an undercover agent with deep scheming and acting skills to be his driver.
I was cursing all my colleagues in my heart, when the ticket machine behind me made a sound, as if other passengers had entered the station.
Jiang Xia heard the noise, turned around and looked over there, and saw three young people - two women and one man, who seemed to have just finished overtime.
One of the older guys complained, "It's such an exhausting day today."
The young woman quickly apologized: "I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for getting the information wrong."
The older woman sighed, "You are always so clumsy - look at Qingmei, she only came here a year earlier than you, but now she is a completely skilled worker."
The young woman bowed repeatedly, looking apologetic.
The man next to them heard them talking about Qingmei and changed the subject: "Come to think of it, why did Qingmei leave in such a hurry after work? Did something happen to her family?"
The female senior waved her hand nonchalantly: "She must be on a date. Qingmei just got a new boyfriend and must be having a sweet time with him right now. Oh~ I also wanted to get off work early, but unfortunately someone messed up the information and I have to work overtime until now."
The young woman smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I will try harder next time!"
The atmosphere between the three people was not harmonious, but they were not confrontational either. They walked to the platform while chatting and stood near Jiang Xia and the others waiting for the train.
Maya Hashimoto glanced over here and felt that these three people looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere.
The three people noticed the gazes coming from this side and looked at him as well. The two women didn't react and quickly looked away. At that time, the man's face changed slightly, and he glared at Hashimoto Maya before looking away.
Hashimoto Maya: “?” Why? Why are even passers-by targeting me?
But after he said that, he suddenly remembered.
Hashimoto Maya: “…”Isn’t this an employee of that annoying agency!
