Chapter 252 The Terrible Threat from the Woman in Black (Anti-theft Extra)
As expected, Hijikata's house was next to the police station. After calling the police, the police arrived soon.
It wasn’t long before a more familiar-looking group of police officers arrived.
Miwako Sato looked at the fainted Hijikata Kozaburo and the footprints on his face, then looked at the paparazzi who were blocked outside by the police and rushed over after hearing the news, and whispered to Jiang Xia, "Didn't you say to be more careful next time?"
Jiang Xia: “…”
He silently glanced at Mao Lilan who was looking at the corpse sadly a few steps away.
Think about the case that this classmate generously helped him with, but in the end he said nothing.
...Forget it, I have already taken the blame for this. This one is not enough.
And Officer Sato only said it verbally, in her heart, she didn't seem to mind this behavior.
Jiang Xiayu listened to the advice and said, "I forgot when I was in a hurry. Next time, I will definitely do it next time."
Miwako Sato looked at him suspiciously for a while, and gradually became confused by the appearance. She gave up the topic doubtfully and concentrated on dealing with the situation.
…
The next day, Jiang Xia skillfully went to Dr. Agasa's house for a meal.
Dr. Agasa was sitting at his laboratory table, helping Conan repair his glasses.
While waiting, Conan sat on the sofa and read the newspaper. I don't know what he read, but his face looked a little strange.
Jiang Xia was just about to go over to see what was written on the newspaper when the sound of the range hood in the kitchen stopped and Huibara Ai took off her mini apron and walked out.
She put the full plate in her hand on the table and greeted Jiang Xia first.
Then he immediately noticed Conan's strange expression.
...The main thing is that Haibara Ai discovered that as soon as Conan finished reading the newspaper, he immediately looked at Jiang Xia with an attitude of wanting to say something but hesitated.
She immediately became interested and walked to the sofa, picked up the newspaper and took a look.
Then his expression also became strange, and he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia: “……?”
He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the case from yesterday that he had almost forgotten, and had a vague guess.
Jiang Xia walked to the two fake kids and glanced at the newspaper.
Then he found out that it was indeed Hijikata Yukisaburo who was dissing him.
Mao Lilan's shadowless kick has obviously reached perfection - no matter how badly the person is kicked when kicked, the person being kicked will not be seriously injured afterwards. It is truly magical.
Not long ago, although Hijikata Yukisaburo was thrown out and knocked the steel railings crooked, it was the same.
So yesterday, not long after the police arrived, Hijikata Yukisaburo woke up.
Then, perhaps with the idea of "Let's die together!", he wanted to bring Jiang Xia down with him, so he shouted to the paparazzi and reporters lurking around that Jiang Xia was a fake detective, who deceived the world and stole the reputation, and usually solved cases by stealing scripts.
Jiang Xia felt slightly relieved when he read the news about Hijikata in the newspaper.
However, looking further down, something seemed wrong.
The writer did not follow these words and question his ability to solve the case. Instead, he began to inexplicably praise his character - in order to save a stranger, he jumped from the sixth-floor balcony to the next door regardless of the danger. If he was not careful, he might have been smashed into a meat pie on the spot. This kind of courage and boldness is worthy of praise.
In the end, the author came to the conclusion that Jiang Xia, the high school detective, is not only quick at solving cases but also has good character. He is truly a model of contemporary high school detectives.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Shouldn't rare scandals like "the cheating detective" be hyped up more, with evidence being created even when there is none, and the fake becoming real... What's wrong with the media in this world?
When Huiyuan Ai saw the positive descriptions at the end, her expression softened again:
"It seems that most people are rational enough. But then again, the idea of 'stealing the script in advance' is too outrageous - with so many random murders, where can he find the script... He really dares to make it up."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Jiang Xia, and then keenly discovered that Jiang Xia's current mood did not seem as good as before.
Huihara Ai raised her hand and patted him in understanding: "Don't think about it. There are scumbags everywhere who talk without thinking. Don't waste your time on them. Come and eat. I made your favorite fried shrimp today."
Jiang Xia nodded and sighed in his heart.
On the bright side, at least this time, the media stopped praising his ability to solve cases and started praising his moral character instead...
Moreover, although the reporters used positive words, this act of jumping off a building to save someone seemed somewhat impulsive.
The characteristic of "being impulsive in order to save others" is actually a good point to be exploited - perhaps some potential murderers will take a fancy to his "impatience" and ask him to be a shark's tool.
In addition, everyone loves to take chances. Many prisoners in this world have a serious gambler mentality.
It doesn't matter how the media writes the story. After all, Hijikata Yukisaburo is a celebrity with labels such as "tough guy" and "rational". He said with certainty that Jiang Xia stole the script, so perhaps some potential criminals will silently believe it and then invite Jiang Xia to watch when they commit the crime.
All in all, the future is bright.
…
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" Dr. Agasa had just received a call. He returned to the dining table and saw Jiang Xia's expression. He touched his bald head and smiled mysteriously, "I have something that may interest you."
Jiang Xia was stunned.
Doraemon finally came to deliver the case?
Seeing that he had successfully attracted Jiang Xia's attention, the old man proudly kept it a secret: "Guess first."
Haibara Ai turned around to look at Jiang Xia who was indeed very interested in this, and then looked at the doctor who had a smirk on his face.
Then she silently reached out her hand and grabbed the small plate with a few fried shrimps in front of Dr. Agasa, and with her other hand she grabbed the plate of vegetable salad next to it - the kind without sauce, as if she was going to change them.
There was a hint of menace in the lightness of his movements.
Dr. Agasa: “…”
He recalled the horrible days in the past when he was dominated by Haibara Ai's overly healthy green diet and did not eat any meat.
Dr. Agasa secretly reached out to protect his fried shrimp, cleared his throat as if nothing had happened, and didn't dare to keep it a secret any longer:
"Actually, an old friend of mine signed up for an event called 'Izu Mysterious Tour' on the forum, and he was successfully selected and was supposed to leave tomorrow. But today, his granddaughter suddenly had a high fever and couldn't go, so he gave the spot to me."
At this point, the doctor looked at Jiang Xia, who was in the limelight recently, and then looked at Kudo Shinichi, who was forced to become obsolete due to his reduced size. He felt that the Mysterious Journey to Izu was tailor-made for the two children in front of him:
"The organizer of the event has already paid half of the food and lodging expenses for all participants. If you successfully solve the puzzle during the event, he will help pay the other half - which is equivalent to a free three-day and two-night trip."
