Chapter 232 Jiang Xia is not such a casual person
The group of people briefly admired the sea view, and then followed Sawaki Kohei who was leading the way, and prepared to go into the building to take the cable car to the underwater restaurant.
But before he could enter the house, four luxury cars suddenly drove up nearby. The shiny doors opened and four celebrities stepped out.
"Supermodel Nana Koyamauchi, essayist Minoru Nishina, photographer Nagaaki Shishido, and foreign boss Peter Ford..." Officer Shiratori counted them one by one and whispered in surprise, "Were these people also invited by Asahi Katsuyoshi? This boss has a wide network of contacts."
Jiang Xia happened to be standing next to him. Hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at him: "..." This second-generation rich police officer looked serious, but in fact, his star-chasing skills seemed to be no weaker than Mao Lilan...
He also whispered, "Nana Koyama's name, 'Nana', sounds the same as 'seven', plus Shishido Nagaaki's six, Maori Kogoro's five, Peter Ford's four, your full name Shiratori Jinsaburo, and Nishina Minoru, we're almost complete."
"What a coincidence?" Inspector Shiratori suddenly became alert, "How about I go and call for some help? Murakami-jo is not planning to get a machine gun and start firing when everyone arrives."
Jiang Xia: "...I don't think so." Not everyone is Gin...
…
The four celebrities who just got off the car did not hear the mutterings of Jiang Xia and Inspector Shiratori.
They obviously knew each other and were quite outgoing, so the two groups quickly started chatting together.
"You were also invited by Mr. Xu?"
"Yes, he asked me to meet him at 3 o'clock."
"…I also have an appointment at 3 o'clock."
"Me too."
“…”
After checking the time, several people looked at each other in surprise - Boss Xu Shengyi didn't look very particular, but he actually made an appointment with all of them at the same time.
This made the celebrities feel subtly unhappy.
"Thinking about it, maybe it's some multi-person collaboration project." Shishido Nagaaki fiddled with his camera and sighed, "Let's go, it's almost time, let's go take a look first - after all, they paid for it."
“……”That makes sense.
The arrogance of celebrities briefly succumbed to the offensive of money.
The group entered the small building and planned to take the cable car to the underwater restaurant where they had an appointment with Xu Shengyi.
…
Inspector Megure originally wanted to introduce the case to them.
But I heard Maori Kogoro muttering: "I don't know these people..."
"Then let's talk about it after we get to the restaurant." Inspector Megure hesitated, "It just so happens that Asahi Katsuyoshi is there too, so we don't have to say it twice."
When going upstairs to look for the cable car, Conan looked at the group of people in front of him and felt more and more that something was wrong.
He held Jiang Xia and whispered, "You've also discovered it - except for 'three' or 'one', the people here just happen to have collected all the remaining numbers."
Jiang Xia was a little confused: "'Or'?"
...Even if Conan didn't know that Inspector Shiratori's full name was "Shiratori Rensaburo", he shouldn't have used such a strange word "or".
It's as if someone can just split it into various numbers and fill in the gaps where needed...
Conan nodded seriously: "Your horizontal line in '夏' can be split into three, or... three drops of water can also be split into '三'? In addition, '江' can be split into '一' or '二', and the vertical one can be the Arabic numeral '1'!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
To be honest, who doesn't have a horizontal or vertical line in their name? Aren't you also called "Edogawa Conan" now?
He tactfully denied: "'Three' may refer to Inspector Shiratori. When I went to the police station before, I saw his full name on the duty list, 'Shiratori Renzaburo'. As for 'One'..."
Jiang Xia approached Conan, who was randomly changing other people's names, and whispered darkly, "Aren't you here to keep a date - Kudo Shinichi?"
Conan was pondering the significance of Asahi Shengyi's appointment of so many digital people, but Jiang Xia suddenly called out his real name.
He was startled, and felt a chill on his back for no apparent reason. Thinking carefully, he was terrified: "But how did Murakami-jo know that I was here? ... Speaking of this, I always felt that as a person who had just been released from prison, he had too much information -
"When the attacker gave Auntie Yingli poisoned chocolate, he actually chose her favorite brand. And the time was right when the uncle had just angered her, so it was a perfect time to give her chocolate to apologize..."
