Chapter 2125 2133 [Undercover]
Jiang Xia opened the door and got out of the car. Just as he looked around the yard, he saw that someone had arrived earlier.
The man looked at the mansion in front of him with admiration on his face, took out his camera and started taking pictures.
Mao Lilan, who loves chasing stars, soon found that this person looked familiar. She looked at him carefully for a moment and said to her two classmates in surprise: "Isn't this the famous photographer? His name seems to be Katagiri Masaki - I heard that he traveled around the world and took pictures of many exotic landscapes. I didn't expect that he would return to his country now."
As he was speaking, as if a rally horn had been blown, another black car drove up the road and stopped in the yard.
When the people in the car got out, Mao Lilan's eyes lit up again, and she instinctively took out her autograph book: "This is Matsudaira Mamoru, known as the home run king. He will actually support this charity dinner. Mrs. Sufang has too many connections."
Perhaps the sight of a few people whispering together was too conspicuous, the photographer and baseball player looked towards them and were slightly startled.
The two looked at Jiang Xia and walked up to him to greet him: "Are you the one who is entangled in cases... er, are you the famous detective who solves cases quickly? I have heard of you for a long time, it is true that heroes emerge from young people."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” She changed her words quite quickly.
Jiang Xia seemed like he didn't hear anything. He took out his business card and changed it. He also asked for two autographs for Mao Lilan.
Mao Lilan was very happy, and soon something even happier happened to the star chasers - a taxi drove in outside the door, and a young lady in a long windbreaker got out. She rubbed her hands and exhaled a cloud of hot air, raised her head and looked at the mansion in front of her, her eyes revealing a depth that did not match her age.
Compared to the photographer and baseball player just now, the new lady was so much more beautiful that even Suzuki Sonoko was happy.
The two high school girls whispered to Jiang Xia, "This is Nagara Haruka, the tarot reader who has become very popular recently! Her predictions are very accurate. During the previous exam, we matched our clothes according to her suggestions, and our scores were much higher than before!"
"Me too!" A rough and shy voice interrupted from the side. The baseball player actually joined the discussion of the high school girls in a very harmonious way. "I watch her fortune-telling program every morning, and then choose the color of the glove I want to use that day based on her advice. Thanks to her, I can often hit home runs!"
Hashimoto Maya also looked intently at the fortune teller who was walking towards the courtyard, and was secretly alert.
"Although there are some strange characters like Izuka Saburo who have infiltrated Uzo's ranks, based on my experience, apart from this exception, Uzo usually picks good-looking people. Any one of his men is a handsome man or a beautiful woman. Even that annoying little kid with glasses has impeccable looks."
Hashimoto Maya quietly tried to figure out her boss's preference: "In short, young directors tend to choose people based on appearance. Although this woman looks fragile, I must be extra careful."
The fortune teller wore a windbreaker and a long scarf that reached the hem of the windbreaker. This lazy and mature outfit changed the look in Hashimoto Maya's eyes: whether it was hiding a knife, a gun, drugs, or a needle, this outfit was very convenient, and even the long scarf looked like a tool for committing a crime.
Thinking of this, he secretly confirmed the location of the knife he carried with him so that he could cut off the scarf or other dangerous weapons in time if his neck was suddenly strangled.
As they were on alert, they saw the fortune teller in front of them.
Then the beautiful lady glanced at everyone, her red lips slightly parted, and she spoke in a charlatan voice: "Don't you think something is wrong here?"
Mao Lilan, who was about to sign, was startled: "Huh?"
The fortune teller sighed softly and raised his hand to his chest: "There is an ominous atmosphere floating in this house. Disaster is not far away from here."
Mao Lilan: “!”
Baseball player: “!”
Although they didn't know what the fortune teller was referring to specifically, the two of them had already quietly begun to consider backing out.
Hashimoto Maya glanced at the fortune teller, and the woman's words just now automatically turned into "This house is filled with the breath of Uzo, and the drama is not far from the curtain."
Next to him, the photographer was somewhat disdainful of divination, but he politely didn't show it and simply changed the subject: "It's so cold outside, let's go inside first."
Jiang Xia nodded and turned to look at the mansion behind him. The size of this mansion was almost as big as their teaching building, and there was a tunnel-like hole in the middle of the mansion, connecting to the backyard. There was an archway symmetrically on both sides of the hole, making it difficult to know which way to enter the mansion.
Based on her experience from the last time she came here, Hashimoto Maya was about to go to the left, but at this moment, the two doors suddenly opened at the same time.
A pair of young and beautiful maids, wearing identical clothes and faces, walked out of the door at the same time. They both kept a mysterious and elegant smile and said, "Welcome."
Several guests who came for the first time were stunned. This mirror-like scene made them think that something supernatural had happened. It took them two seconds to realize that this seemed to be a pair of twins.
Jiang Xia also looked at the twins twice more. One of the maids froze slightly with a smile when he looked at her. She moved her feet uneasily, as if she wanted to quietly retreat into the door.
But she finally held back and imitated the fake sister opposite her, standing still like a statue.
Originally, "Shimokasa Honami" played by Masumi Takamori was supposed to speak first, but Torimaru Naoko waited and found that this disappointing sister did not move.
The corner of her eye twitched, so she had to say first: "Mr. Katagiri, Mr. Matsudaira, Ms. Nagara, please go in from the west entrance and rest."
Takamori Masumi came back to his senses and quickly replied, "Mr. Jiang Xia, please go in with your friends from the east entrance to rest."
While reciting the lines, she secretly complained in her heart: Why is she the one to receive Jiang Xia! The close contact with the detective is too heavy for a wanted criminal on the run... especially a terrible detective like Jiang Xia.
When Naoko Torimaru saw her expression, she vaguely guessed what she was thinking and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: letting her be with Jiang Xia was of course to protect her, so as to prevent this stupid teammate from getting into trouble and herself from being implicated.
Naoko Torimaru: "..." After all, judging from what happened in the park last time, Jiang Xia is not that kind of pedantic detective. He is even willing to cooperate with her and accept an undercover agent with a bad record.
"If he can accept someone like me, then he should be able to accept Takamori Masumi, the unlucky criminal who was used as a knife." Torimaru Naoko sighed in her heart and analyzed secretly, "Jiang Xia's friends don't seem to be bad people. The biggest problem on Masumi's side is Hashimoto Maya."
