Chapter 2077-2085 [Minions Fight]
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
That waitress was no simple person. It turned out that she was also Wuzo's lackey. No wonder I was so wary of her just now.
And this order from Uzo...
"Is this a demonstration? Is he trying to show the detective who has already noticed his whereabouts how well-informed he is? After all, if he can have his men deliver food to Jiang Xia tonight, he can poison the food and kill the detective tomorrow night without anyone noticing."
A drop of cold sweat slid down Hashimoto Maya's forehead: "Or does Wu Zuo want me to take a photo of the scene of delivering the wine so that he can prove that Jiang Xia violated the rules and drank alcohol?... No, if he didn't say it, then there is no such thing! Even if he really wants to take a photo as evidence, this part should be the responsibility of others, such as the waiter just now. I just need to buy the wine honestly."
With this in mind, he could only put the Irish matter behind him for the time being and concentrate on this task - otherwise he would be late and his boss would change his mind, which would increase his workload.
…
Not long after, a figure sneaked up the stairs, sneakily put a pack of six bottles of different cocktails at Jiang Xia's door, and then sneaked back to the room.
After the door was closed, Maya Hashimoto breathed a sigh of relief and slid down against the door: Great, mission accomplished.
I don’t know who will come to take pictures and leave evidence of Jiang Xia stealing wine.
I thought it would be the waiter again, but at this moment, a door in the corridor clicked open, but it was not Jiang Xia's door, but another one.
Maya Hashimoto was startled, and then became alert: Here it comes!
It's not the waiter. Judging from the direction of the sound... this seems to be the room of the first grader.
He is indeed a child labourer of Uzo!
…
In the corridor.
Conan went to the bathroom just now, and when he approached the entrance, he accidentally heard the sound of a door opening and closing outside.
He jumped onto a stool vigilantly and peeked through the peephole, and saw Hashimoto Maya walking back fully armed with a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, carrying a bag, as if she was planning to do something bad.
...There is something wrong with this guy! He must have another purpose for being Jiang Xia's assistant.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Hashimoto Maya run straight to Jiangxia's door, put down the package stealthily, and then went back to the room.
The alarm in Conan's head began to buzz: What is that? A bomb? Evidence for slander? ... In short, it must be something bad!
After waiting for a while, Conan, relying on the fact that he was a little kid, tiptoed to open the door and walked out.
——He planned to go to the entrance of Jiangxia to see what the package was, and then make noises like "How strange!" to wake up everyone in the corridor.
Next, when everyone was looking at the bag at the door in confusion, he could say in the innocent tone of a child, "When I was playing with the peephole just now, I saw Brother Hashimoto come over and put it here. Why did Brother Hashimoto dress up so tightly to go out in the middle of the night? Why did he put these at the door of Brother Jiang Xia's room?" and so on, violently breaking up this conspiracy against his old classmates.
However, just as he approached and was about to sink his Qi into his Dantian, Jiang Xia's door was suddenly opened from the inside. A hand reached out, picked up the package, and took it back into the room at lightning speed, and then the door slammed shut again.
It wasn't until the dust settled that the elementary school student came to his senses.
Conan: “???”
Jiang Xia, what are you doing?!
…
Conan stroked his chin, and a series of deductions quickly formed in his mind.
The hand that was stretched out to take something just now was obviously Jiang Xia's. The first-year detective who was good at observation would never make a mistake.
So here comes the question.
——When a normal person sees a box of unidentified objects tightly packed at his door, would he carry the objects back into the house without hesitation like that?
So Jiang Xia should know what that is.
Conan: "..." So what is that?
As soon as my curiosity arose, I felt as if I was being scratched by a cat.
After hesitating for a moment, Conan trotted over and rang the doorbell.
Jiang Xia, who was unpacking in the room: "..."
...Why is the little brat not sleeping at night and coming to visit?
But thinking about Conan's fighting ability, Jiang Xia felt relieved and walked over to open the door.
Then, before Conan could react, he carried the person into the house just like he had carried the plastic bag just now, to prevent this guy from running to find help, such as Mao Li Ran or something.
…
The door opened and closed, and the elementary school student disappeared into the house.
Maya Hashimoto heard Jiang Xia's door open and close twice, and quickly figured out the cause and effect: the first time must have been because Uzo did something again, such as sending an email in someone else's name, telling Jiang Xia that there was wine at the door, so Jiang Xia took the things in.
The second time was probably when Conan found an excuse to follow in, and relying on the fact that he was a child and therefore not likely to be suspected, he wandered around Jiang Xia's room and secretly took pictures of evidence of Jiang Xia drinking.
...Cunning, so cunning!
But since someone else has taken over the job, it seems that Jiang Xia will have no use for me at all tonight.
Maya Hashimoto breathed a sigh of relief. She stopped sitting at the entrance and went back to her room to start thinking seriously about tomorrow's affairs.
Do you want to meet Ireland?
If I meet him, should I tell him that I have changed jobs?
If he knew that he was going to hunt me down in the future, how could he escape being silenced?
If he doesn't know, how can I avoid letting him know?
A host of questions tangled up in her mind, and Maya Hashimoto wailed in her heart, regretting not buying herself two bottles of wine just now - escaping is shameful but useful, and she really wanted to get drunk to forget her worries.
…
On the other side, Conan entered Jiang Xia's house and looked at the bag seriously.
Then I discovered that inside were boxes of individually packaged freshly mixed cocktails, sealed in exquisite glass cups. They were fancy and pretty.
Conan: “…”
Jiang Xia picked a glass that didn't look very tasty and placed it in front of him: "Here, this is for you. If you drink this glass of wine, you will be an accomplice. Don't go out and talk nonsense tomorrow."
Conan took it and smelled it, and couldn't help but take a sip out of curiosity.
After a moment, he realized something was wrong: "This was placed at your door by Hashimoto Maya. What if it's poisonous?"
Jiang Xia shook his phone and said, "Who would poison someone with their real name? He just sent me an email saying that he saw some good wine in the bar, so he brought me some. After all, it was a good intention, so it's okay to try it."
Conan suddenly remembered that when he met Hashimoto Maya not long ago, that person helped them buy beer from the convenience store: "..." What a cunning guy, so this is his way of getting close to Jiang Xia?
It's quite practical.
Is there no other conspiracy tonight, and it is just a pure action to please the detective boss?
Conan couldn't help but take another sip and fell into deep thought: This wine is quite delicious, not too spicy, and tastes more like juice. No wonder Jiang Xia couldn't resist the temptation of the sugar-coated bullet.
...No, no matter how good the wine is, Hashimoto Maya's starting point is definitely not good, so we can't take it lightly!
