Chapter 290 Sea King Jiangxia
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger - Asami Endo feels that as an emotional strategist, she needs to find out the situation and see what the relationship is between Mori Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Jiang Xia.
Or at least figure out which of the two girls Jiang Xia saw before that made him suddenly happy...
After making up her mind secretly, Asami Endo did not go directly over, but instead slowed down her steps and quietly went around to the side.
A minute later, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko turned the corner of the shelf and "accidentally met" Endo Asami who came out from the other side.
Both sides felt that the other looked familiar. After a pause, Endo Asami smiled and said, "I remember you, um... Xiaolan and Sonoko? Long time no see."
"Senior Asami!" Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran were a little excited. Endo Asami was pretty, cheerful, good at grades, and enthusiastic about club activities. In the eyes of the students, she was considered a celebrity. Now they suddenly found that such a person actually remembered them, and they were a little flattered.
Asami Endo was pleasantly surprised to discover this and took the opportunity to invite them to join her for tomorrow's mystery party.
He also mentioned that Jiang Xia would come.
While they were talking, the senior student carefully observed the expressions of the two people, but saw that Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked pure and happy, and neither of them showed the alertness of "a beautiful woman invited Jiang Xia to play together"... Well, this means that they should not be Jiang Xia's undisclosed girlfriend. Or they are very, very, very confident and don't worry about Jiang Xia being snatched away.
...There are many doubts and further observation is needed.
Asami Endo then invited them to have dinner together.
The two naive high school girls happily agreed and asked Asami Endo to wait for a moment while they went to store the bags they had.
The senior student smiled and nodded, waiting where she was, watching them go away.
A minute later, Asami Endo's phone rang and she received Jiang Xia's Gugu warning.
Senior: “…”
The two schoolmates had just left when she received a text message from Jiang Xia asking him to stand her up. The timing was so coincidental... it must have been when Mao Li Ran or Suzuki Sonoko went to store their luggage. They couldn't help but tell Jiang Xia that they had also received an invitation.
Then Jiang Xia immediately decided not to attend.
Thinking of this, Asami Endo was stunned.
This, this is different from what she imagined: "Jiang Xia is deeply in love with Mao Lilan or Suzuki Sonoko, and all his attention is on her"! If this is the case, shouldn't Jiang Xia be happier to have a girl he likes to attend the party with?
But now...
Asami Endo suddenly remembered a saying:
It is said that when the wise Sea King sees fish that he has not yet soaked gather together, he will avoid them and refuse to go into the fish pond if he is not sure...
At this moment, thinking of the pair of long legs passing by on the football field and Jiang Xia's focused gaze at that time, Endo Asami felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her on the top of her head.
Could it be... Could it be that she accidentally stepped into someone else's fish pond? !
...As a king in theory but a bronze in practice, Endo Asami was panicked for a second.
But soon I regained my composure from the theoretical discussion - I can't jump to conclusions, I have to observe, well, observe first...
A few minutes later, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko came back after storing their things.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the meeting place, they saw Asami Endo looking at them with a very complicated gaze, and in a trance she even felt like she was looking at a pair of brothers in distress.
The two were stunned for a moment: "Senior Mami, what happened?"
"No, it's okay." Asami Endo came to her senses, shook her head, and led them to the hotel.
Halfway through the walk, she couldn't help herself and asked in a low voice: "Um, Jiang Xia...you seem to be very familiar with him, can you tell me what kind of person he is?"
When Suzuki Sonoko heard this topic, her eyes lit up and she nodded proudly: "Okay, okay! He..."
Just as she started, she realized it belatedly and stopped.
...Hmm? Wait.
What do you want to do?!
…
Gunma Prefecture, Toyoshira Town.
Yukiko Kudo knocked on the door of the Yuuchi residence.
Soon, the slightly old wooden door was pushed open, and a beautiful aunt walked out from behind the door.
She had short black curly hair and narrow eyes that looked a bit mercenary. The woman was obviously very happy to see her childhood friend, Kudo Yukiko. After greeting her, her eyes fell on Jiang Xia and she asked in surprise, "Who is this?"
She thought that the people coming would be the father and son from the Kudo family who were good at solving cases.
"He's my neighbor's kid!" Kudo Yukiko pulled Jiang Xia, who was standing behind her, over and pushed him in front of Yuuchi Hiromi as if to show off, "He's just as good at investigating cases as those two in my family..." She silently swallowed back the unpleasant word "bastard", "...well, no worse than those two mystery geeks!"
"Haha, I see." Hiromi Yarouchi nodded enthusiastically, but she felt a little disappointed in her heart. She usually didn't pay attention to news about cases and didn't know much about detectives. When it came to the unknown field of investigating a case, she still trusted people she knew more.
Now that the acquaintance who is good at solving cases is not here, a stranger who looks particularly young suddenly comes. Hiromi Yuuchi's first reaction is - Yukiko is still as unreliable as before.
However, as an adult, she tried not to show her disappointment and pushed open the door with a smile: "You must be tired after running so far, come in and sit down first."
Several people entered the yard and walked on a path covered with fallen leaves.
Kudo Yukiko was even more anxious than the client, poking her childhood friend and asking, "What exactly do you want me to investigate? You've been so secretive, can you tell me now?"
"Hmm..." Hiromi looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she lowered her voice and said, "Actually, it's about my uncle."
As Jiang Xia followed them through the vast Japanese-style garden, he listened to Hiromi Yuuchi talking about her commission in a disjointed manner.
The Ayuuchi family is a well-known wealthy family in the area. Last month, the father of Ayuuchi Hiromi, the patriarch of the Ayuuchi family, passed away, leaving behind a large inheritance.
The will has not yet been made public.
According to the predictions of the living, those who can share the inheritance include the daughter and son of the chief of the Yannei tribe, his second wife who is only two years older than the chief's daughter, and the chief's younger brother who went to Brazil more than 30 years ago.
The more people there are, the less money they get. Especially since the head of the Yannei clan seems to attach special importance to his brother who lives far away from home, he may be biased when distributing the inheritance.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, this "Uncle Yifang", who had disappeared for a long time and suddenly rushed back home from Brazil not long ago, is the most annoying person.
And because Yoshifusa Yuuchi has not been back for more than 30 years, Hiromi Yuuchi and the others now suspect that this uncle Yoshifusa in the family is actually an impostor, so they want to find a detective to expose his true identity.
