Chapter 2129 2137 [Canary's Shura Field]
The honest baseball player seemed moved. He looked at Mrs. Su Fang and said, "That's very touching. I will do my best to help you organize the charity dinner next week!"
The photographer sighed: "In fact, my wife died in a car accident 20 years ago. It is fate that I can attend this charity dinner. If my wife is still alive, she will definitely be very pleased."
Mrs. Sufang glanced at him, and secretly tightened her grip on the cup, but quickly smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, everyone."
…
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms.
Jiang Xia had just packed his luggage when he heard a knock on the door.
He opened the door and saw a smiling maid standing outside. Naoko Torimaru bowed and said, "Good evening, Mr. Jiang Xia. Mrs. Sufang invites you to the living room on the third floor to discuss matters."
The door of the guest room next door suddenly opened - Suzuki Sonoko had just packed her luggage and was about to go out to have some fun. When she walked to the door, she heard the noise.
She blinked and said decisively: "I'll go too!"
Torimaru Naoko's eyes twitched, and she said softly, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Sufang only invited Mr. Jiang Xia."
Suzuki Sonoko's eyes suddenly became suspicious: "Is there something we can't listen to, and why do we have to talk about it so late at night?"
Don't think she doesn't know, there are many strange things in the entertainment industry! And Mrs. Su Fang has been in the entertainment industry for most of her life, who knows if she wants to take advantage of the opportunity to do something.
At the entrance of the guest room next door, Hashimoto Maya was leaning against the door, listening quietly and nodding as he listened: "..." It was in vain that he suggested Jiang Xia to bring the daughter of the consortium over, and indeed, the conspiracy from the rich lady was immediately shattered.
However, the detective in question didn't seem to think anything of it.
Jiang Xia said to Suzuki Sonoko: "Maybe you have a commission for me. I'll go over and take a look."
Hashimoto Maya: "..." No! What if that person is so sweet-talking that you join her agency? Compared with Mrs. Sufang, I was here first, so we Sherlock Holmes and Watson should spend more time together!
However, Suzuki Sonoko could not hear his inner cry. The high school girl was persuaded by Jiang Xia. She plucked her non-existent biceps and said, "That's right. All right, call us if anything happens. I'll take Xiaolan with me and kill them right away!"
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
Is it just him who has to go and stop it himself?
That’s right. He is Jiang Xia’s assistant now. If there is really a commission, wouldn’t it be very reasonable for him, the assistant, to go with him?
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya, who had gradually become absorbed in the situation, pushed open the door and pretended to be startled by Suzuki Sonoko's voice just now: "What's wrong? What are you doing gathered at the door so late?"
When Naoko Torimaru saw him leaving, she kept smiling but her body tensed up silently.
In an instant, the aroma of fried eggs filled the air around Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia couldn't help but turn his head to look at the maid who suddenly looked murderous: "..."
Maya Hashimoto is unexpectedly useful. She can squeeze aloe vera when placed next to Curacao, make coffee when placed next to Amuro Toru, and even fry eggs when placed next to a close colleague... This new little brother under Uzo is really unpopular.
There was a trace of sympathy in Jiang Xia's eyes, and he showed some concern to this despised subordinate, and answered Hashimoto Maya's question just now: "Mrs. Sufang seems to have something to ask me."
Hashimoto Maya resisted her instinct to keep a low profile and acted like a serious assistant: "Is it a commission? I'll go with you."
Seeing that Jiang Xia was about to nod, Torimaru Naoko repeated, "Mrs. Sufang only invited Mr. Jiang Xia."
Hashimoto Maya glanced at her and found that his previous feeling was not an illusion: this woman seemed to have a hint of hostility towards him from nowhere.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Colleague?
There were too many members around Jiang Xia who were suspected to be Uzo's subordinates. Hashimoto Maya had gradually calmed down. He said seriously, "It's okay. I'll go over and take a look. If Madam Sufang only wants to talk to Jiang Xia alone, I'll come back then."
Even if he couldn't stop Mrs. Sufang and Jiang Xia from being alone, at least he could stop the maid and Jiang Xia from being alone on the way there and back - the two old employees, Suzuki Sonoko and Conan, were enough for him to deal with, and he didn't need a few more new employees to get involved.
As soon as the words fell, Hashimoto Maya and Torimaru Naoko looked at each other, and invisible sparks seemed to be stirring in the air.
Jiang Xia didn't care about the eye contact, but he saw the aroma of iced tea and fried eggs becoming stronger and stronger.
He then did not rush and waited patiently. However, this scene could not last forever.
Torimaru Naoko quickly remembered her identity as a maid. Since Hashimoto Maya had said so much, she certainly couldn't make decisions on behalf of her employer, Mrs. Sofang, so she could only lower her head in a docile manner and said, "Okay, I'll take you two there."
As soon as she turned around, her gentle and sweet eyes darkened: the cunning minions of Usa were indeed not easy to deal with - she originally wanted to use the opportunity of being alone on the road to remind Jiang Xia that "Hashimoto Maya is an undercover sent by Usa" and let Jiang Xia be careful of the guy with bad intentions.
However, Hashimoto Maya seemed to be on guard against her and insisted on sticking to her... Haha, she would never give up!
…
Naoko Torimaru suppressed her murderous intent towards Maya Hashimoto and took the two of them up to the third floor and to Mrs. Sufang's small living room.
This reception room was made to look like a showroom - the cabinets around it were filled with various trophies and certificates, proclaiming Mrs. Sufang's impressive achievements over the years.
As expected, Maya Hashimoto was sent out by Mrs. Sufang. He and Naoko Torimaru stayed outside the door, while Jiang Xia went into the reception room alone.
The heavy door closed.
Mrs. Sufang obviously didn't know that there was someone outside who was having an affair with her unilaterally.
She spoke to Jiang Xia alone simply because she didn't want more people to hear her commission.
After entering the house, Mrs. Su Fang was not in a hurry to talk about business. She first opened a bottle of red wine, held the glass and drank slowly for a while, and chatted with Jiang Xia about other things.
When the relationship between the two sides seemed to be getting closer, she spoke carefully: "By the way, in addition to the charity dinner, I would like to entrust you to help me investigate something."
Jiang Xia watched the ghosts carrying their murderous aura back and forth from the door, and leaned back on the sofa comfortably: "You say."
According to normal procedures, most clients would ask detectives to investigate the collage threatening letter from the "messenger of the cursed mask".
However, Mrs. Sufang may have received too many similar letters and did not take them seriously at all.
She was talking about something else: "Just now at dinner, Mr. Katagiri said that his wife had a car accident 20 years ago and died as a result - I hope you can help me investigate the details of that car accident."
