Chapter 235: Jiang Xia took my arrow! More to the leader [Cold and brave Xuan Xiaohua]
Next to him, when Minoru Nishina heard Jiang Xia's answer, he stood up in disbelief, ran to the dining table, grabbed the wine bottle and checked.
He found out that Nana Koyama had not lied to him, and the wine was really just cheap Ponzo Windmill Wine: "How, how is this possible?!"
Sawaki Kouhei, who had been watching from the side, chuckled and explained simply, "If you use grapes that have been ripened for a long time to make wine, it can indeed emit a premium aroma."
…
Peter Ford wasn't very interested in the types of wine, but when he saw Nana Koyama drinking glass after glass, he became greedy and said, "Give me a glass, too."
The others felt thirsty when they heard this.
Mao Lilan looked around and found the passage leading to the back kitchen: "I'll go get some drinks for everyone."
The other few people didn't wait either. Since they had nothing to do, they just walked over and tried to find some drinks they liked to quench their thirst.
Although Asahi Katsuyoshi has not shown up yet, according to what Inspector Megure said, the previous victims were not dead, but only slightly injured. So although the group of people were a little nervous, on the other hand, they couldn't help but think in their hearts: It's just that.
Jiang Xia walked into the kitchen, picked for a while, and picked up a bottle of mineral water.
After returning to the table and sitting down.
Not long after, Conan walked up to him holding a bottle of orange juice and whispered, "I just saw Sawaki Kouhei secretly licking chili powder in the kitchen - it's strange that a wine taster would eat such spicy food..."
Jiang Xia: “…” You are quite amazing. How come you happen to witness everything?
…
A group of people gathered around the table, drinking drinks in a fairly harmonious atmosphere.
The topic unknowingly turned to the topic of "Why did Xu Shengyi invite them?"
After recovering from the blow of the "failed wine tasting", Nishina Minoru said modestly, "He said he had read my collection of reports and admired me very much. He wanted to invite me over to have a chat and get to know me."
Shishido Nagaaki fiddled with his camera, frowned, and nodded: "The statement I received is similar, except that 'reporting' was replaced with 'photography'."
Nishina Minoru: “…?” Was it a bunch of compliments?! He even boasted about it to the people around him for a long time…
"Me too." Nana Koyama said proudly, "But there is one thing that makes me different from you - I received an extra gift."
As she spoke, she took out a bottle of very high-end nail polish from her bag, shook it at the few people, and showed off her beautiful nails: "Look! French goods - Mr. Xu is quite good at choosing gifts. I happen to have a set of clothes that can match this color of nail polish."
"Why paint your nails purple? I heard that this color affects your appetite." Peter Ford muttered in confusion while drinking his wine.
A vein popped out on Nana Koyama's forehead, and she was just about to teach him what aesthetics was.
But at this moment, Peter Ford was suddenly startled, as if he kicked something at his foot.
He bent down in confusion and saw a folded A4 paper at his feet.
I picked up the paper and unfolded it, and saw that it was a letter printed in lead type, with the address at the beginning reading "Sawaki Kouhei".
Peter Ford was very gentlemanly and did not read the letter. He handed the letter to Sawaki Kouhei and said, "It's for you."
"Hmm?" Sawaki Kouhei took the letter in surprise and read it out subconsciously:
"Sawaki Kouhei:
I might be late. So I put your favorite wine on shelf M18 in the wine cellar. Please help me take it out and share it with everyone, just as an apology for my lateness - I left the key to the wine cellar on the counter. "
The signature is "Xu Shengyi".
After reading it, Sawaki Gongping stood up expectantly: "As expected of Mr. Asahi, you are so generous. I will go to the wine cellar first..."
"I'll go with you." Jiang Xia pushed the chair away and stood up, looking righteous. "You are the attacker's next target. It's dangerous to walk alone."
Sawaki Gongping glanced at the clingy detective. If he remembered correctly, on the way here just now, Jiang Xia sat in his passenger seat very familiarly: "..."
"That makes sense." Inspector Megure suddenly realized what Jiang Xia said, "Then I'll go too!"
"Hmm? Take me with you. I also want to visit the rich man's wine cellar."
A group of people stood up one after another, and finally all followed Sawaki Kohei, like a group of tourists following a tour guide.
…
When I opened the door of the wine cellar, a cool breeze hit me in the face.
"It's so cold." Mao Lilan wrapped her coat around herself.
Sawaki Kouhei turned his head and glanced at the thermometer in the room, frowning: "The most suitable temperature for storing these wines is actually 10°C to 14°C..."
Jiang Xia also looked at the thermometer and found that the temperature showed "17°C". Xu Shengyi was obviously not a professional collector, but he was very rich and liked to get some wine to display.
At this moment, a figure nearby happily jumped into the wine cellar.
The tasteful Inspector Shiratori's eyes sparkled slightly as he looked at the wine cabinet and selected the bottles one by one like a treasure: "Roma-Conti, Speckled, Cote Lotti, Roquefortini..."
"Oh? You seem to know a lot about it." The others subconsciously moved closer to him and listened to his detailed explanation.
Sawaki Kouhei, a serious wine taster, certainly wouldn't listen to other people talking about wine. He took the letter left by Asahi Shengyi and walked towards the M18 wine cabinet according to what was written on it.
I had just taken two steps when I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.
When I turned around, I saw two people following me - one was the kid with glasses, and the other was Jiang Xia.
