Chapter 2095 2103 [Losing Face]
When the two members of the organization were confronting each other, Jiang Xia looked at Hashimoto Maya, then at Curacao, and suddenly seemed to understand something from their previous conversation, and his expression became strange: "Closet?"
He looked at the patterns on Hashimoto Maya's face and asked, "Did you sleep in the closet last night?"
Then he looked at Curacao: "You too?"
Curacao: “…”
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
...Oh no, it was all because of Curacao's sudden ridicule. He actually forgot that Jiang Xia was still next to him!
Just at this moment, several other guests came out of the room one after another, and a group of people happened to hear Jiang Xia's words.
Suzuki Sonoko was extremely surprised. She looked at Hashimoto Maya and her favorable impression of this mixed-race handsome guy dropped sharply. Then she couldn't help but lean over to Mao Lilan's ear and whispered:
"Forget about Ms. Shirai, but I didn't expect Mr. Hashimoto to be so timid. Next time someone says you're afraid of ghosts, use him as an example. A grown man would be scared by the 'cursed samurai' and run to sleep in the closet. It's reasonable for us high school girls to be a little timid!"
Hashimoto Maya: "..." If you want to whisper, just say it! At this volume, everyone in the corridor can hear it!
...The damn King of Papers No. 2, who never forgets to ruin the reputation of his colleagues.
And the King of Rolls No. 1 really didn't miss the opportunity. Conan looked at him with a suspicious look: "Whether it's the previous attack or what the old lady said, it can be seen that the 'Cursed Samurai' is targeting the Xun family. Uncle Hashimoto is not a member of Xun's family, why is he so scared?"
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
The dreaded multiple-choice question appeared.
Either admit that you are suspicious or admit that you are a coward.
The culprit for all this was obviously the woman next to him, Curacao - if she hadn't suddenly pointed out the patterns on her face, the situation would never have developed into what it is now!
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Wait, could it be that she also wants to win Usa’s favor, so she’s secretly doing it too?
In an instant, Hashimoto Maya felt that the whole world made him his enemy, and he was surrounded by hateful colleagues who were unwilling to see him have an easy life.
In this cold workplace, only the enthusiastic detective has a little warmth around him.
Jiang Xia: "Mr. Hashimoto has just started his career as a detective and is at his most motivated. Maybe he wanted to hide in the closet and catch the opponent off guard when the 'Cursed Samurai' attacks."
Hashimoto Maya: “…”Thank you for helping me out. It would be even better if you could find a more reasonable excuse.
Sure enough, when I looked to the side, I saw a group of people with complicated expressions that said "No need to explain, we all understand."
At this time, Jiang Xia looked at Curacao and said, "I didn't expect that Ms. Shirai would also be afraid of the ghosts of samurai. I thought lawyers would all be staunch materialists."
As soon as these words came out, Curacao immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
Bearing the reputation of "coward" that had never been associated with her, she gritted her teeth in shame: Is she afraid of the dead? It was clearly a late-night killer move by a shameless scriptwriter.
...Unfortunately, I couldn't say a word of this and could only swallow it silently.
Curacao: "...Actually, I dropped something in the closet, and asked Mr. Hashimoto to help me find it."
Hashimoto Maya came back to her senses, and the two men who were fighting with murderous intent reluctantly reached an agreement for the sake of their reputation: "Yes, yes, yes, I accidentally bumped into you and left a mark."
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand nonchalantly: "Isn't it just that you were so scared that you slept in the closet? Is it worth it to keep making excuses for such a small matter? Go eat quickly. I went to bed early yesterday and I'm hungry now."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Of course you think it’s a small matter, it’s not you who is embarrassed!
But since there were stairs to go down, he did not refuse and rolled down the stairs silently.
…
A group of people went to the dining room.
Although the children of the Xun family have worse tempers than each other, they have tutors after all, and their biological clocks are set, so they go to the restaurant early when it is time for dinner.
Each person had a small table to eat. When they were almost done, Jiang Xia glanced around and found that there was a table that had been empty.
Tatsumi Ryunosuke also saw it and said in dissatisfaction: "That fellow called Akanuma is still sleeping? He actually made the host wait for him. How uneducated! Speaking of which, when he came to visit yesterday, he even dressed up as 'Kuroko' and was so weird. Could it be that his face is too ugly to be seen in public?"
"Don't say that. After all, he was your father's friend." Mrs. Xun sighed, "I'll go and ask him to come over."
She walked out the door, closed the shoji and left.
After she left, Tatsumi Ryunosuke snorted, "It hasn't been long since dad died, and she brought another man home. She really can't wait."
Xun Zhengwan was stunned: "What do you mean!"
Tatsumi Ryunosuke sneered, "I mean, that Kuroko is not a 'friend of my father's when he was alive' at all. He was brought back by your mother. She planned to make that man your stepfather as soon as you succeeded to the throne, right?"
Xun Zhengwan was furious: "Shut up!"
He rushed over and knocked Xun Longzhi down with one punch, and the food on the small table was scattered all over the floor.
Xun Longzhisuke covered his face in shock.
This brother who was not related to him by blood, who had always been submissive in front of him, actually dared to hit him. After he was stunned, the next thing that came to his mind was rage.
Xun Longzhi jumped up, ran to the wall and took down the hunting rifle hanging there: "A burden with no blood relationship dares to show off in our Xun family!"
He pointed his gun at Xun Zhengwan across from him: "I will kill you!"
When Maya Hashimoto saw the gun, her hands holding the dining table tightened and she instinctively tried to lift it up to use as a shield, then rolled over and hid outside the house.
But in the end, he could only take a deep breath, stop the reaction that an ordinary citizen shouldn't have, and keep an eye on the movement of the shotgun to avoid accidental discharge and injuring himself.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something: How would other colleagues react?
With a quick glance, he saw that the high school students had no intention of avoiding him, and Curacao had moved behind Jiang Xia at some point.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” The cunning minion actually wanted to use the innocent detective as a scapegoat!
Jiang Xia didn't seem to mind it. He stood up and tried to break up the fight like a proper detective.
Just then, the shoji slid open and Mrs. Tatsumi, who had gone out to call for help, came back.
When Mrs. Tatsumi pushed the door open, she saw Tatsumi Ryunosuke holding a shotgun, pulling the trigger, and yelling at Tatsumi Seimaru: "Go to hell!"
Her pupils suddenly shrank, and she shouted sternly: "Stop! What do you want to do!"
Xun Ryunosuke and Xun Seimaru were both stunned.
Although Mrs. Xun was the wife of the previous owner, as the second wife, she was always mild-tempered and humble to the owner's children.
This was the first time that everyone saw her so furious.
