Chapter 288: Thousand Layers of Routines
Jiang Xia successfully interrupted an inquiry.
Then he looked at Inspector Megure who was following closely behind him, and before the other party could speak, he said perfunctorily: "I had a brief conversation with him before, and from what he said, he seemed to have an accomplice. If I call the police directly, I am worried that the accomplice will eavesdrop on me, so I want to take him to a hidden place first, lure out the accomplice, or directly ask where his accomplice is..."
Mumu Police Department: "..."
He actually believed most of this.
...The main reason is that I believe Jiang Xia really wanted to lure the criminal's other accomplice over, because that way he could attack two people at the same time.
I also believe that Jiang Xia really wants to "ask about" his accomplice's intentions. After all, this is not the first time he has done such a thing.
As for the remaining "unreliable" half, it is the so-called "fear of being monitored by accomplices" - Jiang Xia is a detective after all, and eavesdropping and anti-eavesdropping are his expertise. It is not difficult at all to find the monitoring device on a criminal who cannot get up.
Inspector Megure had a lot to complain about, but after glancing at the excited TV station staff behind him, he nodded and pretended to believe Jiang Xia's nonsense.
Several police officers who often met Jiangxia stepped forward, helped the prisoner up from the ground, and skillfully pulled down the prisoner's clothes to cover all of Hiruda's body except his hands and face.
...There were definitely signs of beatings underneath, but fortunately the prisoners were in good physical condition, and by the time they returned to the police station, the signs had basically disappeared, and the people were able to wake up without any sequelae.
The scene was chaotic but orderly, and no one asked Jiang Xia why he knew there was something wrong with the photographer. Perhaps they had all implicitly accepted the fact that this detective had a strong observation ability and could see through the criminal's inappropriate behavior at a glance...
…
When the police put the criminal into the police car, the game whistle just ended.
This time, Jiang Xia finally remembered that there was a senior sister who brought him here to take on a case, so he went back to his original position and reunited with the senior sister who seemed to be surrounded by ghostly lights.
Asami Endo took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She was speechless at Jiang Xia's behavior of being absent-minded and disappearing, which was not a delay but was better than a delay.
...But no matter what, being able to get someone out is the beginning of success - as a person who plans and does things in an organized way, this is just a small start in her plan.
Besides, at least Jiang Xia remembered to come back to look for her. Maybe he really had something to do just now...
Asami Endo quickly convinced herself.
She turned the page on today's events and started her next plan.
On the way out of the stadium, Endo Asami lowered her head a little dejectedly, and said in a just right guilty tone: "Sorry, I forgot to ask you if you still like football... I guess I bored you."
Jiang Xia described it truthfully: "No, I'm quite happy."
Asami Endo nodded in her heart. She was not surprised by this answer: it was just a courtesy. After all, she was the host today. Any guest with normal emotional intelligence would never say "I am so bored today" to her face.
Everything is under control. Endo Asami continued, "I didn't think it through this time. But there's another thing you'll be interested in - in a few days, I'm going to organize a real-life mystery game, and there will be many mystery enthusiasts participating. Do you want to come and watch it?"
...If Jiang Xia dared to refuse, she could just say "Ah, the activities I chose are boring after all," and then add just the right amount of fragile tears... In this way, in order to deny this, Jiang Xia would have no choice but to agree to her request to "play again." Asami Endo was calculating in her mind.
However, it was slightly different from the script. Jiang Xia did not refuse, but repeated as if to confirm: "Real-life reasoning game?"
Asami Endo was startled, then nodded: "Yeah!"
...Actually, she will have an event in a few days.
But the focus of the event was not the reasoning game, but her birthday.
——On that day, the club she is currently in will rent a villa to celebrate her birthday. The reasoning game is just a part of the birthday party.
But at this time, Asami Endo concealed the news.
The apparent reason was that bringing up such a matter suddenly would be like asking Jiang Xia for a birthday present, and she would feel embarrassed.
But in fact... Asami Endo felt that through what happened today, she discovered that Jiang Xia might be more interested in the reasoning game at the party than her birthday. This way of saying it would make it easier to invite people.
More importantly, when Jiang Xia arrives and finds out that it is his senior's birthday but he has not prepared a gift for her, he will most likely want to make up for it.
Then, you can naturally use the excuse that "gifts are never important, as long as the thought is there", and suggest "accompanying her to go to ×× as a gift", which should not be rejected.
Endo Asami thought about this and felt that she was a genius. She just didn't put her mind on conquering others before, otherwise she would be invincible... No, now she can be invincible as well, Jiang Xia will never become the -1 in her life record!
Jiang Xia did not have the ability to read minds, and did not know that the girl who was walking quietly beside her at this moment, had a brain that was almost catching up with Conan in her imagination.
He just searched the keyword "real-life reasoning game" in his mind again.
As he thought about it, Jiang Xia's mind gradually emerged with a scene of a group of detectives being locked up in a villa deep in the mountains, with no one surviving... and then he silently dismissed the scene. No, no, it shouldn't be this.
He didn't expect any case.
But I just missed half of the game, so now is not the right time to refuse. And now it seems that the senior sister seems to have a bit of a physique for events, maybe he will get a flat tire on the way to the appointment, and then meet the professional team of the god of death when repairing the car...
With this in mind, Jiang Xia added a "real-life reasoning game" activity to his schedule.
…
For the past few days, Jiang Xia has been living a life revolving around the detective agency, home, and the late-night highway.
I originally thought that my peaceful life would not be disturbed until I participated in Asami Endo's reasoning game.
Unexpectedly, before that, Jiang Xia met an unexpected guest near his home.
——The angry Kudo Yukiko, Conan's mother.
She forgot to bring her house key and wandered in front of Kudo's house for a while. Suddenly, she kicked the door angrily, looking like she was angry about something.
Jiang Xia hesitated for a while, then walked up to her and asked politely, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
Kudo Yukiko, who was concentrating on being angry, came to her senses and saw that it was him, and her anger subsided a little.
She strode to Jiang Xia's side, raised her hand and touched her head without any hesitation: "Okay."
Jiang Xia welcomed her in and made her a pot of tea.
