Chapter 2731 2743 [Foreigners]
Different people have different focuses.
Hashimoto Maya looked at James in confusion: "..." This guy is obviously an American FBI, why does he speak British English... But on second thought, Akai Shuichi is already the ace of the FBI, and now there is an old guy from Britain, it doesn't seem strange.
Next to him, Conan was also studying whether this suspicious old man was a disguise of Randy Hawke.
When he heard the other person talking at this time, he was sure: they were indeed not the same person - Randy Hawke was a western cowboy, but the old man in front of him did not have the accent of an American cowboy.
...So what was happening before our eyes was just a simple case of mistaken identity?
After understanding this, Conan was eager to make a move: "..." The people in that organization seemed to like to be mysterious. If their people were forced to put an advertisement in the newspaper, would the Black Organization react?
With this in mind, he planned to sneak into the crowd, use his voice changer to fan the fire, and expose the true identity of this suspicious old man.
However, before that, an enthusiastic high school student suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Tom? Are you okay?"
Several reporters were startled when they heard the familiar voice and turned their heads.
Other reporters also looked over keenly, and then they found that the person Jiang Xia was calling seemed to be the "Randy Hawke" who was surrounded by them.
"Tom?" Some reporters felt something was wrong. "Isn't this Mr. Randy Hawke?"
James: "..." Of course not! I've said it a thousand times, but you just won't listen!
Jiang Xia walked over and said to the reporters, "I'm sorry, you may have made a mistake." He picked up the flyer and said, "Ignore the glasses, beards and face shapes, the appearances of these two foreign old gentlemen are actually very different."
Reporters: “…”
After all, the words of the famous detective carried some weight. The reporters tried their best to use their observation skills, blocked out those features as Jiang Xia said, and carefully compared the photos with the real people in front of them... and they actually found a lot of differences.
While they were busy looking for differences, Jiang Xia waved to James.
The unfortunate FBI agent took advantage of the opportunity and trotted over, getting rid of the scary group of reporters.
Breathing the air of freedom again, he quickly followed the others and said with emotion: "Thank you very much."
At the same time, Yin glanced at Hashimoto Maya with caution: "..." Except for the minion of the Black Organization - he didn't know why, but he always felt a chill on his back just now. Although he had no evidence, he had reason to suspect that this guy wanted to plot against him.
In contrast to the insidious minions, Jiang Xia, who had just offered to rescue, suddenly appeared extremely kind and enthusiastic.
James nodded repeatedly in his heart: No wonder Shuichi spoke highly of this high school student. Now it seems that he is such an enthusiastic, kind and sensitive person.
"Tom shouldn't be your real name." Jiang Xia chatted with the FBI boss casually, "I just made up a name in a hurry. I hope you don't mind. If I don't say this, I'm afraid I'll have to spend a lot of time explaining it to them."
"Of course I don't mind! If you hadn't saved me, I don't know how long I would have been harassed." James laughed, "I never thought I would look so similar to a celebrity."
Jiang Xia nodded and said, "I heard that you are not in good health. Don't worry if you encounter this kind of situation again. Just show them the name on the ID."
"Are you not feeling well?" James was stunned at first, and then, after seeing Mao Lilan next to Jiang Xia, some memories of being carried through the crowd by female high school students came to his mind... After a moment of silence, an old gentleman's toes curled up in pain.
"Are you not feeling well?" Another person next to him also remembered what Mao Lilan had just said.
Conan: "..." Is this true? This old man looks very strong. Combined with his suspicious behavior, his so-called poor health is probably a disguise for some purpose.
But what Jiang Xia said next was very true. It would be great if we could see this old man's ID - even if it was a fabricated fake identity, it would be better than the current situation where we know nothing about him.
Thinking of this, Conan asked: "Grandpa, since your name is not Randy Hawke, what is your name?"
"..." James came back to his senses from some painful memories, hesitated for a moment, and said frankly, "James - my name is James Blake."
After all, the FBI is not a member of an organization that lives in the shadows, so they don't care too much about whether the name is true or false.
James: "..." Of course, more importantly, he had been taken to the police station before, and more than once. In other words, the Tokyo police who were familiar with Jiang Xia knew his real name.
In this situation, if he gave a false name now and Jiang Xia accidentally learned the truth from the police... it would easily create a rift between the detective and them. It would be better to be honest with him.
After hearing his answer, Conan and Hashimoto Maya secretly wrote down this name.
But a name alone is obviously not enough to get rid of the fake elementary school student.
Soon, Conan asked another question. He asked like a child who was curious about foreigners: "Speaking of which, Grandpa James, why did you come to Tokyo?"
James didn't want to answer, but as a normal, kind old man, he shouldn't let the child's innocent question fall on the ground, so he made up a story: "Of course I came to see Paul and Anne's circus performance. Those animals are so cute!"
Conan: "But they spend more time in the UK and the US. Grandpa, you are a foreigner, why don't you watch it in your own country? Instead, come all the way here?"
James: “…”
...Why does this little guy have so many questions!
A mature FBI agent would never be stumped by a primary school student.
James' mind raced, and he took something out of his pocket with a smile: "Of course it's for this!"
Jiang Xia took a look and found that this was the white lion keychain that the circus gave away to attract customers: in addition to the snow-white cute little lion, there was also a cloth ribbon attached to the keychain with the words "The Animal Show·Paul & Annie" printed on it - the name of the circus.
Conan's eyes jumped: "This thing was also distributed before, right?"
"No no no." James boldly fooled the child, "See, there is the words 'In Japan' on the back - when they perform in different countries, the souvenirs they hand out will be slightly different. I am determined to collect all the countries that this circus has visited, so I must come here in person."
Conan: “…” You’re good at making things up.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” He lied without blinking, worthy of being the cunning FBI.
