Chapter 2648:2660 [Choosing People]
Hashimoto Maya took the bouquet in a daze. He looked at the beautiful woman opposite him, and then at the name card on the flowers: "Magician..."
This woman is actually a magician? !
Moreover, even though the distance was so close, he didn't even see the technique of changing the feather into flowers. This means that her attainments in magic must be quite high.
Thinking of this, Maya Hashimoto's heart beat fast.
"She's so pretty, she's so good at magic, and she talks in a mysterious way, like she has a lot of stories to tell... I'm sure Uzo will like her! - Is my mission to find a magician so easy to accomplish?"
He was delighted and looked up to chat in detail, but when he looked closely, there was only a group of audience members leaving in front of him - the female magician had left at some point.
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
"It's not a big problem. Since I have her business card, it shouldn't be difficult to contact her." Hashimoto Maya quickly adjusted his mindset. As he walked out, he lowered his head and looked up the name "Miyoshi Asako".
After a moment, his heart skipped a beat: this female magician was a student of the magic master Kyujuku Motoyasu, and was a fellow student of the star magician Sanada Kazuzo... It seemed that she had a more prominent background than he thought.
Would such a promising young magician really be willing to be stationed on their theater island where he was not sure whether he had any future?
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya couldn't help but wilted again.
…
When a member of an organization is worried about his work.
In the parking lot near the exit, Conan was about to get in the car, but suddenly his peripheral vision moved and he saw a flash of white in the crowd.
He looked over subconsciously, and his gaze suddenly froze: among the audience leaving, there was actually someone he knew - Hashimoto Maya!
"Didn't this guy leave his seat a long time ago? Why did he just walk to the door now?" Conan was slightly surprised. "Could it be that I guessed wrong before? The place where he conducted illegal transactions was not in the audience seats, but in other areas of the venue?"
"Besides..." Conan frowned and looked at the bunch of eye-catching white roses in Hashimoto Maya's arms. "He didn't carry such a large bunch of flowers before. Could this be his trading item?"
Thinking of this, Conan looked at the bouquet with suspicion: whether it was the buds or the part covered by the packaging bag, they could all be used to hide items. Perhaps there were some illegal items hidden inside that could not be seen in the light?
"Brother Jiang Xia, look!" Conan pulled Jiang Xia and pointed at Hashimoto Maya, "Your colleague from the detective agency is also here to watch the show. What a coincidence. Why don't we invite him to the magic party as well? It will be more lively with more people."
As he said this, without waiting for anyone else to respond, he had already trotted towards Hashimoto Maya - such a good opportunity, he couldn't let it go! He had to see what this guy was planning by suddenly appearing at the magic show.
"A colleague from the detective agency?" Behind Conan, Hoshigawa Dogo, who was wearing sunglasses and a mask, heard this and looked over curiously.
Seeing the person being held by Conan, he exclaimed, "Isn't this the staff member who came on stage to save people just now?"
"No way." Suzuki Sonoko narrowed her eyes, carefully identified for a moment, and said with certainty, "No. Although they are both handsome, their eyes are very different, and there is also a difference if you look closely at the lower half of their faces - this should be Hashimoto Maya."
Ran Mouri: “…” Sonoko’s ability to recognize people is really amazing. She almost thought it was the gentleman who rushed onto the stage... Then again, how come Conan recognized him? Isn’t this a problem between Sonoko and Conan, but is she a little face-blind?
…
In the distance, Hashimoto Maya was thinking about something, when suddenly her trouser leg felt tight and was grabbed by a small hand.
"!" He was startled, looked down, and was startled again: Why is it this lingering little ghost!
"Uncle Hashimoto." Conan smiled sweetly at him, "We are going to have a dinner with Mr. Xinghe. There will be many daily magic performances after dinner. You can come too - since you are here to watch the magic show, you must like magic too."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go at all.
The words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue, but when he looked down at the little king, he remembered Uzo's survival of the fittest system of selecting his subordinates...
Hashimoto Maya: "..." It's not difficult to reject this kid, but the problem is that this is an invitation to a "magic" party. Not long ago, he just received a task from Uzo to "hire a full-time magician."
"What if Lord Usa already has a candidate in mind, and asked me to find a magician just to go through the motions?" Hashimoto Maya muttered to herself, "Also, if I remember correctly, the kid next to him came with Jiang Xia. And the long-term mission I received before Gaijima was related to Jiang Xia..."
A series of thoughts flashed through her mind. When the terrifying image of Uzo appeared in her mind and slammed heavily on one end of the scale... Hashimoto Maya immediately made a decision in her heart.
In Conan's surprised eyes, he kept smiling: "Okay."
Conan: “……?”
You agree now?
Could it be that he guessed wrong, and there was no trading item hidden in Maya Hashimoto's bouquet of flowers, so he dared to run around with the bouquet?
…
Anyway, the dinner party team successfully had one more companion.
Fortunately, Xinghe Tongwu's business car had enough space for everyone to sit in. Iida Riki drove the car happily and soon parked it in front of a supermarket.
He fetched the ordered materials and continued on his way to the suburbs.
His junior sister Ji Gong Zhan Zi looked out the window with her chin in her hand, then belatedly remembered something: "We can just have a dinner together, why do we have to go all the way to Teacher Zheng Ying's house?"
Iida pushed his glasses up and sighed, "Have you forgotten? 10 years ago today was the day when Mr. Masakage disappeared. His wife must be very lonely at this time. We have to go and keep her company. And maybe Mr. Masakage will come back today after he has come to his senses. He has always been a man with a strong sense of ritual."
Maya Hashimoto pricked up her ears: "..."Ten years, missing... These keywords sound like they have a lot of stories. Could it be that I came to the right place today?
…
The business car drove for a while and stopped in front of a villa.
I rang the doorbell, and soon an elderly woman, still elegantly dressed, opened the door.
"Welcome." Mrs. Zhengying didn't seem surprised that someone came today, but she was a little surprised by who came. "The two behind are... Zhan Zi and Xing He? And these young people, ah, I remember you! You are the famous detective named Jiang Xia, right? My friends often mention you to me."
