Chapter 2078 2086 [Alert]
Jiang Xia didn't drink much, but he tried a little of everything. He woke up the next day feeling refreshed. He washed up and left the room, planning to go eat.
After walking only a few steps, I met several other companions who were also leaving the house.
Jiang Xia glanced over and was slightly stunned when his eyes fell on Hashimoto Maya and Curacao.
It seems that everything is subject to the law of conservation, including dark circles.
——After a night, Curacao's spirit returned to normal and the dark circles under his eyes faded a little.
But on the other hand, the bruises around Hashimoto Maya's eyes were very deep, as if she had been punched in the face with two symmetrical punches.
"..." Jiang Xia couldn't pretend he didn't see it, "Are you okay?"
He just asked his younger brother to run an errand and buy some wine. If you didn't know, you would think he had someone go digging in a mine all night.
Hashimoto Maya shuddered: "It's okay!"
Conan looked up and saw his appearance, and was equally shocked: "...You don't look like you're okay."
Did this guy do anything else besides buying alcohol?
Did he send wine to Jiang Xia specifically to make the detective next door fall asleep so that he could do some sneaky actions in the middle of the night?
This thought flashed through Conan's mind, and he suddenly realized it. At the same time, he felt a little annoyed: he had drunk too much and slept soundly last night, and failed to notice Hashimoto Maya's movements, giving this guy time to act secretly at night.
In fact, Maya Hashimoto didn't go anywhere at night. He was just thinking about various issues related to his former boss.
Noticing that everyone was looking at his dark circles, he quietly took out his sunglasses and put them on, laughing: "Maybe I'm in a new place and I'm a little uncomfortable with the climate. I didn't sleep all night last night... Don't worry, I'll come back and catch up on some sleep later."
When Curacao heard this, he turned and looked at him, with a slight alertness in his eyes.
For a moment, her thoughts subtly synchronized with those of Hashimoto Maya in the past - what was this guy doing last night? Was he secretly arranging something for Uzo's stage?
...After being busy all night, the scene must be quite big. It seems that I have to be more cautious recently.
Jiang Xia also considerately did not ask any more questions, and greeted everyone, "Let's go eat first."
…
After breakfast, Suzuki Sonoko was bored and suddenly thought of something. She snapped her fingers and said, "Let's go to the bridal preparation room!"
In most weddings, the bride would have various relatives and friends visiting, but this time, Katori Akane only brought herself with her and no one else.
"It must be very lively over at the groom's place." Suzuki Sonoko recalled the scuffle at the dinner party yesterday and decisively decided to avoid it. She said to Jiang Xia, "Let's go and show support to the bride. It just so happens that you brought so many people with you, it would be a waste if we don't use them."
Xunzhengwan: "?"
I am the employer! I should be the one to command this detective. How can you say that he is useless to us?
He wanted to refute loudly like this, but when he thought of the Suzuki Group behind the high school girl, he shut up and said: Forget it, I won’t bother with the high school girl.
…
The group soon arrived at the bridal preparation room.
As expected, this place was empty. In the huge room, there were only Akane Katori and an assistant.
The wedding look was complete, and Akane Katori was wearing a beautiful wedding dress, sitting in front of the dressing mirror. Her veil was pinned with a circle of white flowers, and the shoulder straps were decorated with green leaves and translucent floral yarn, which looked like a lively flower fairy theme.
“So beautiful!”
The two high school girls came over confidently and quickly started chatting with the bride.
After just a few words, the two young men walked along the corridor and towards the preparation room.
Jiang Xia was standing at the door. He looked up and saw the groom from the Daha family and the dark-skinned glass craftsman they met on the Shinkansen.
Conan saw them from a distance and couldn't help but mutter, "How did these two get together?"
Jiang Xia: "Ohga Shinya's whole family is against his marriage. Now he may be more able to talk to outsiders than his family."
Conan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "But don't you think the atmosphere between Mr. Takahashi and the bride is a bit strange?"
Jiang Xia: "You mean when we first arrived here yesterday and met for the first time, the bride stared at him in shock."
"You've noticed it, too." Conan scratched his head. He looked at the two people getting closer and closer, and lowered his voice even lower. "In fact, there is another thing - at the fireworks display last night, when I went to buy drinks, I saw the bride and Mr. Takahashi talking alone! And it wasn't the kind of conversation between strangers, it was more like they were arguing about something."
The first-year detective seemed to want to engage in reasoning and hypothesising with him about the matter.
But Jiang Xia didn't want to do that at all. After all, he was not a serious detective who loved solving mysteries.
The two young men were tall and long-legged, and they walked very fast. Seeing them getting closer and closer to the door, Jiang Xia raised his hand and pressed it on Conan's head, muting him manually.
He lowered his voice in a serious manner: "Shh, they are coming."
This mysterious way of speaking was indeed very intimidating, Conan immediately shut up and took the initiative to change the subject. He pretended to be innocent like a child and talked to Jiang Xia about something else: "The bride is so beautiful!"
As Ohga Shinya approached, he heard this and laughed, "Thank you! What a cute kid."
As he said this, he touched Conan's head. Because he was about to see the bride, he was too excited and didn't control his strength well, so he pressed Conan's head against the door.
Conan: “…”
...I didn't praise you, why are you thanking me!
He rubbed the back of his head silently, and suddenly he could understand the elders of the Daha family.
As they were talking, the two of them walked in one after another.
Ohga Shinya: "The wedding will start soon! Xiaoqian, how are your preparations going?"
The dark-skinned handsome guy blurted out: "Xiao Qian, you are so dazzling today."
Jiang Xia: “…”
Conan: “…”
The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at the groom curiously.
The groom had no reaction to this sentence at all - he was staring at the bride in front of the dressing table with his eyes wide open.
Suzuki Sonoko also heard what was said. She smiled and ran over to smooth things over, asking the groom, "What do you think of the bride's outfit? Does it look good?"
The fiancés looked at each other, and Katori Akane lowered her head shyly.
The groom obviously wanted to say something, but the words in his mind went around in circles, and in the end, he only said: "You are beautiful!"
After a pause, I felt it was a bit concise, and quickly searched my brain to expand: "You are really beautiful today!"
Conan: “…”
...You might as well learn from the girl next to you and praise her for being dazzling.
The Tokyo melon-eating squad looked at each other with mixed feelings.
At this moment, a cold snort came from the door.
Da He's sister walked in wearing high heels: "It's really embarrassing to be so obsessed with your fiancée - before the wedding starts, you should honestly go back to your lounge and wait, don't embarrass yourself outside."
