Chapter 310 Mom is here
Although Jiang Xia himself did not look back at Hattori Heiji, Xiaobai's eyes were always wandering between Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, and it soon noticed Hattori Heiji's relieved expression.
Xiaobai blinked his eyes, feeling that this Osaka man was hiding something, so he decisively complained and told Jiang Xia everything in a whisper.
Jiang Xia also felt that Hattori Heiji was hiding something, but he didn't care too much.
——Although he failed to overhear from the phone the day before yesterday that Hattori Heiji wanted to go to Ogasawara to handle a case, but based on the start and end times of the prize-winning guessing contest in the newspaper, combined with the spoilers, Jiang Xia already knew the ultimate purpose of Hattori Heiji's visit to Tokyo this time.
So he is not panicking at all now.
Because as long as he takes the old version of banknotes tomorrow, boards the ship in a low profile, and hides in the cabin, he will be able to successfully "encounter" Hattori Heiji and Conan who have also sneaked onto the ship and are trying to start a two-person team after the ship sets sail, and then get into the death realm of these two high school detectives - by then, Hattori Heiji and Conan will never jump into the sea and swim back to the shore to avoid him.
These things were nothing to be afraid of. Jiang Xia continued to concentrate on shopping, wanting to see if it was possible to encounter other ghosts on the road before the serial murder case on the boat began.
However, while shopping, Jiang Xia found that the surroundings were very peaceful. There was no murder, no robbery, and even no bag stealing.
Instead, I suddenly received a phone call.
When Jiang Xia heard the ringing, he took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID, and found that it was actually the detective agency's landline number.
Normally when he leaves the office, he would lock the door, so it's impossible for a client to call him using this phone... Jiang Xia thought as he picked up the phone, and sure enough, Toru Amuro's voice came from the other end.
There was a hint of doubt in the boss' voice, and also a little hidden curiosity.
Amuro Toru said simply, "I happened to be at the detective agency today, and I met... met a client who specifically wanted to see you. Please come as soon as possible."
"You want to see me specifically?" Jiang Xia became puzzled.
There are actually quite a few customers who want to see him, but most of them want to ask if he has found the cat, the dog, the mistress... In the past, when Toru Amuro met these customers, he would only verbally agree to help urge the progress, but would not really call to urge Jiang Xia's progress. After all, he is not an ordinary detective agency boss who pursues performance, but a high-paid spy who can get bilateral reimbursement and regards money as dirt.
So now... who is worthy of Amuro Toru specifically looking for him?
Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, wanting to get some information first: "Is that guest someone you know?"
Could it be that a member of the brewery suddenly encountered a murder case, and was fooled by Gin's excessive imagination into thinking that it was Uzo who did it, and came to settle the score with him... Jiang Xia guessed aimlessly.
Fortunately, this kind of magical realism has not happened yet.
"Not really an acquaintance." Amuro Toru lowered his voice a little: "The guest said her last name is 'Ikenami', but this should be a fabricated pseudonym, or an old surname - I have seen her in the corner of an interview program before. She should be the wife of Superintendent Hattori of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. Have you ever met her..." Ah.
As he was talking, Toru Amuro himself was the first one to remember it.
——He remembered that a while ago, a high school detective named Hattori Heiji came to his house. He was a very dark student who loved to use his imagination, which left a deep impression on Amuro Toru.
This made him no longer as confused and alert as before - the wife of a high-ranking official and the mother of a high school student were two completely different concepts. Moreover, the other high school student was also acquainted with Jiang Xia, which made Toru Amuro feel that the severity of the incident dropped sharply.
He changed the topic and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. If you have something to do, you don't have to come."
On the other side of the phone, Jiang Xia savored the long prefix.
The wife of Superintendent Hattori of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters... Isn't this Hattori Heiji's mother?
When the keyword "Hattori Heiji's mother" was mentioned, Jiang Xia suddenly thought of some things and some cases.
He looked at a few classmates who were strolling happily on the street nearby, and felt that the street looked quite peaceful, and perhaps nothing would happen for a while.
So he turned back to his phone and made a decision: "I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xia said to Hattori Heiji's slightly surprised look and Toyama Kazuha's very regretful gaze that he had something urgent to do and needed to leave for a while.
Before leaving, Jiang Xia turned to Mao Lilan, the person he trusted the most among these people: "Remember to call me if you have anything. I will come right over."
"Okay." Mao Lilan nodded, and then said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about us - I heard that a murder happened here a few days ago. Now there are police patrols from time to time, and the public security is very good."
Hattori Heiji, Conan: "..."
Although they knew in their hearts that Jiang Xia's words just now were probably just a reminder for them to be safe, they always felt that when Jiang Xia said this, it was just like saying "Remember to find me if there is a murder"... Ahem, science, we must believe in science. There is no such thing as the god of death physique in the world, everything is a coincidence.
Jiang Xia saw that Mao Lilan agreed and left with peace of mind.
As for how his classmates understood his words, he didn't care, as long as someone remembered to call him when something happened...
…
Jiang Xia's motorcycle was parked nearby.
He quickly found his car and drove to the detective agency at lightning speed.
When he was almost there, Jiang Xia slowed down a bit and appeared in front of the office at a legal speed.
After getting off the car, he took off his helmet, hung it on the handlebars, and walked into the door.
A very noble woman was sitting on the small sofa for guests in the room.
The woman was wearing a black kimono, her skin was very white, and her makeup was delicate but not exaggerated. When she wasn't smiling, she was as cold as a sword drawn from its sheath. Even if she showed a polite smile, it looked like a sword being sheathed at most... In short, she looked very difficult to get along with, like an emotionless villain killer.
Amuro Toru was sitting on the couch across from her, looking like he was trying and failing to make conversation.
The woman in kimono, Hattori Shizuka, actually didn't mind chatting with the boss of the detective agency because his skin color made her feel familiar and inexplicably felt like a family.
However, in the end, in order to expose as little information as possible and achieve the ultimate purpose of today's visit, Hattori Shizuka suppressed the idea of chatting and decided to wait for Jiang Xia to arrive first.
Seeing Jiang Xia coming in, she looked at him for a moment and stood up gracefully:
"My name is Ikeba. Please forgive me for coming to your house so suddenly. My friend recommended you to me. She said that if you are me, you will definitely be able to help me solve my problem."
