Chapter 257 Is poisoning your traditional art?
Haibara Ai hesitated for a moment and followed Jiang Xia.
Although he might run into other members of the organization if he left the room, Jiang Xia said that person wasn't a big problem.
Besides, at this time, staying alone in the room makes me feel uneasy, so it’s better to find someone to be with me…
It turns out that it is useful to hold on to a reliable supporter.
——Not long after, Haibara Ai was standing in front of a snack stand near the hotel, chewing a string of meatballs, when she suddenly heard a commotion coming from the swimming pool.
Running over with Jiang Xia, we saw Conan floating in the water, soaking wet, swimming tenaciously towards the edge of the pool.
Judging from the discussions of people around him, Conan fell from the terrace on the third floor corridor.
Fortunately, there was water below, the child was relatively light, and Conan was stubborn. In short, Conan had no other symptoms except shivering from the cold.
Jiang Xia reached out and pulled the person out of the swimming pool.
As soon as Conan landed, he quickly rushed to the third floor. Jiang Xia and Huiyuan Ai followed him.
However, when they arrived, there was only an empty corridor on the third floor.
Conan looked around but couldn't find the trace he was looking for.
Only then did he have time to explain to the other two people: "I was just pushed down by someone."
Haibara Ai was stunned, and thinking of the organization member wandering nearby, she didn't dare to eat the meatballs anymore. She took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and vigilantly pulled up the mask again.
Conan saw her movements and said in a low voice uncertainly: "The one who pushed me was the organizer dressed as the 'Dark Night Baron'. I don't think he looks like a member of the organization..."
Jiang Xia listened quietly beside him.
In the original world line, a similar thing actually happened. The murderer was the one who pushed Conan down the stairs. He wanted to scare away the famous detective who accidentally entered the game and might expose his tricks. If a child encounters this, even if he is not injured, he will usually cry loudly and resolutely refuse to stay in such a scary place. In this way, the detective who brought the child here can only leave together.
This time, Jiang Xia remembered the way the would-be murderer Uejo Satoshi occasionally looked at him in the hall before... He thought the murderer would start with him. Unexpectedly, no matter who it was, Conan's hatred was still so steady.
Jiang Xia touched Conan's head sympathetically.
Haibara Ai watched this scene silently. After Jiang Xia finished touching, she immediately took out a handkerchief and handed it to him: "Wipe it quickly with your hand."
Jiang Xia took the two children to the room.
On the way, he pretended to analyze: "Dr. Agasa did say that the organizer will dress up as the 'Dark Night Baron' during these three days and create some incidents, but..."
"But pushing an innocent child into the water is too much." Conan, the innocent victim, wrapped in wet clothes, trembled and tried to answer:
"I always feel that this is more of a threat than an 'incident'. A group of programmers gathered together to solve a puzzle, and suddenly a detective came in... On the bright side, the organizer felt that we broke the rules of the game. On the bad side..."
——What kind of person would hate a detective and try to drive the detective away through extreme means?
Conan thought about the murders he encountered when he went out with Jiang Xia, and he always had a bad feeling.
I hope he's overthinking it...
…
Returning to the door of the suite, Jiang Xia opened it.
Conan quickly walked back to his room to change his clothes.
Haibara Ai took off her mask, ate the remaining meatballs in a few bites, and then went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Jiang Xia walked to the small coffee table in the living room and wanted to boil some water in a kettle.
However, just as he stretched out his hand, the mermaid who was left by him to watch the house swam towards him through the air with a look of resentment, and made a whimpering sound against Jiang Xia's hand.
Jiang Xia: “…” Huh?
...similar to Miyano Akira's aesthetics?
Can you learn something good?
Jiang Xia ignored her and continued to get the kettle.
The kettle was full. Although Jiang Xia had no intention of drinking the water when he put his luggage down, he still boiled a kettle of water first, trying to kill any bacteria and viruses that might be in it in this way, making it easier to boil water for hot drinks later.
By now, the water in the pot had already boiled and become warm. Jiang Xia planned to pour it out and boil a new pot.
However, the mermaid seemed to misunderstand his meaning and thought Jiang Xia wanted to drink the water inside.
She swam to Jiang Xia and complained: The water is not clean.
Jiang Xia looked at her with some surprise, but not too much surprise, and gestured for her to explain in detail.
The mermaid was a little angry and felt aggrieved. She pointed at the pot: Just now, when she had shrunk and was taking a hot spring bath in the pot, a man in a black cloak and a white smiling mask opened the door with a master key and threw a few pills into the water.
Jiang Xia: "...Wait, I asked you to look after the house, but you took a bath with the water I drank?"
The mermaid froze for a moment. Then, using air as water, she swam 360 degrees in front of Jiang Xia, looking confident but actually feeling timid, to show herself - she was super clean, without any dirt or even dust.
Jiang Xiamo's feelings, holding the fish by its tail and throwing it aside: "Next time you enter my cup, you will have less murderous intent - by the way, the pot is not allowed either."
The mermaid who was thrown away wagged her tail, swam back angrily, and bit him angrily.
Then, with resentful little ghost lights floating all over his body, he swam into the bathroom to find more water.
Jiang Xia held the kettle for two seconds, then suddenly thought of something. His face changed, he put down the kettle and quickly followed in.
Huibara Ai, who was washing her face next to the sink, was startled.
Jiang Xia pressed the jumping child back down and reached for the bathtub with his other hand: "It's okay, you wash yours, I'll add some water."
As he said this, he secretly observed the mermaid.
Then he was relieved to find that the fish did not go straight to the stagnant water in the toilet as he thought...
She probably just thought that there was water in the bathroom, but hadn't thought about where to go to take a bath.
The mermaid didn't know what Jiang Xia was thinking, but when she saw Jiang Xia take the initiative to help her fill the bathtub with water, she became happy again.
Unlike other ghost fetuses, her body size can be freely scaled up and down, and the largest can be as big as a human, and the smallest can be the same size as Xiaobai.
Normally, the mermaid was used to maintaining the size of an ordinary ghost fetus. Just now, in order to enter the pot to soak in the hot spring, she shrunk herself even smaller.
Now that she had a large fish tank, the mermaid was able to comfortably return to the size of an ordinary ghost fetus.
She followed the air and swam close to the water surface, took out the half of murderous aura she had hidden, patted it fluffy, and threw it into the water.
Then he used the soft murderous aura as a swimming ring, flapped his tail and moved, his eyes narrowed into dotted lines in happiness.
Jiang Xia added a thin layer of water and returned to the living room.
He looked at the teapot, hesitated for a moment, opened the lid and smelled the water inside.
Very good, no fishy taste.
...No, there is no bitter almond smell as rumored. This means that what was thrown into the teapot was not potassium cyanide, a deadly poison.
The host who wanted to force him to go offline probably just put some sleeping pills or something like that.
