Chapter 3145 3157 [Suzuki Sonoko's Glorious Mission] Ask for monthly tickets (`)
Jiang Xia looked at the startled reporter and politely repeated, "I'm very interested in your program. When will it be filmed?"
"The day after tomorrow!" The program director was overjoyed. In order to prevent Jiang Xia from changing his mind, he quietly highlighted the selling point of his own program. "The time may be a bit tight, but with you here, I believe you can solve the problem that has troubled us for a long time!"
He kept it a secret and planned to wait for Jiang Xia to ask him what the difficult question was.
However, unexpectedly, the detective asked another question first: "You said just now that you were going to meet an Osaka detective?"
The program director's introduction was stuck in his throat. But Jiang Xia was willing to pay attention to him, so he nodded quickly and ignored the privacy of the mysterious guest: "It's the high school detective from Osaka - Hattori Heiji."
Choosing Hattori Heiji as a backup...well, there is of course a reason for choosing Hattori Heiji as a backup plan.
First of all, this high school detective did have a lot of achievements - although he solved more cases such as robbery and theft than homicides, the overall number was large enough, and if you count them carefully, there were also a few classic homicides, which made him quite well-known.
In addition, due to the limitations of printing technology and the fact that many murders occurred after dark, the image of Detective Hattori in the eyes of many people is that of a dark figure with only two eyes shining in the night.
——If such a detective suddenly appeared on a color TV screen, it would be a gimmick to some extent. If an advertisement was placed in a newspaper in Kansai while the program was being broadcast, it would surely have a good publicity effect.
Anyway, for various reasons, the program director decided to invite this mysterious detective. However...
"Do you know Detective Hattori?" The program director suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Xia, "I think I've seen reports about you two working together to solve a case."
Jiang Xia nodded: "He's my friend, we have a very good relationship."
"Is that so?" The program director's eyes lit up: Doesn't this mean that as long as one is invited, the other will come along? Add in the Maori Kogoro just now, and now the missing people are all there!
Just as he was thinking, Jiang Xia looked at his watch and asked him, "What time did you agree with Hattori? I'll go with you to pick him up at the station. Oh, by the way, don't tell him that I'm here too. Let's give him a surprise quietly."
The program director nodded in agreement, feeling very happy: Jiang Xia said "we" - doesn't this mean that the detective really agreed to the filming and has already regarded him as one of his own?
What a stroke of luck! Do you want to go out and buy a lottery ticket later?
Conan next to him: "..."
What kind of surprise? It should be a shock.
He touched his pocket, hesitating whether to tell Hattori about this, but after a moment, he put his hand down silently.
The reason why Hattori Heiji was willing to come here was, firstly, because he happened to be on vacation recently, and secondly, there were more and more suspicious people around Jiang Xia, and strange and dangerous things happened one after another. Conan was worried that there would be omissions if he handled it alone, so he invited this friend who knew the existence of the Black Organization to come over, so that the two of them could deal with it together.
"When we contacted each other before, Hattori said that he didn't plan to show up directly, but to hide near us, one in the light and the other in the dark, to monitor all abnormalities around Jiang Xia... But think about it carefully, this guy just doesn't want to stay with Jiang Xia."
"The first impression is really terrible. Hattori has obviously accepted Jiang Xia as a friend, but his body is still avoiding him instinctively... In fact, apart from solving cases faster and occasionally being unable to stop himself from revealing spoilers, Jiang Xia obviously has no shortcomings."
Thinking of this, Conan gradually gave up the idea of informing Hattori Heiji in advance: "Besides, what if that organization also ambushed people nearby, and Hattori happened to run into them? If he gets hit by a stick like me, it would be a loss. It's better for us all to be together and take care of each other."
A fake elementary school student nodded secretly and quickly convinced himself.
…
That afternoon.
At the station entrance.
Hattori Heiji lowered the brim of his hat, glanced at the high school girl next to him, and said irritably, "I didn't expect that you, who know nothing about reasoning, have such excellent observation skills."
"Of course!" Suzuki Sonoko dragged her small suitcase and raised her chin proudly. At the same time, she remembered something and laughed out loud:
"But it shouldn't take much observation to spot you in the crowd. I saw a human-shaped chocolate bar wearing clothes walking past me from a distance. How could I not spot such a conspicuous sight?"
"You are the human-shaped chocolate!" Hattori Heiji was furious. He threw a fist without any deterrent effect. "Anyway, remember this. After you meet up with Jiang Xia and the others, you are not allowed to tell them that you have seen me!"
"I know, I know." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand indifferently, "You're being sneaky, aren't you just not interested in hearing Jiang Xia solve the case? Don't worry, I'm not interested in your business, I'm here for another mission!"
——Although Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan both came to Izu, they were for completely different purposes. Suzuki Sonoko happened to have other things to do that day, so she didn't come with them.
But who would have thought that as soon as she opened her eyes this morning, she received a message from Mao Lilan.
After hearing about the thrilling experience last night, Suzuki Sonoko jumped up from her 20-square-meter bed. After angrily punching the innocent pillow, the high school girl quickly packed her luggage and boarded the train to Izu as quickly as possible.
"Jiang Xia is good in everything else, but she is too trusting of passers-by, especially those with bad intentions." Suzuki Sonoko rolled up her sleeves and stretched her shoulders, feeling a heavy and glorious mission on her back. "As long as I am here, I will never let the crisis like last night happen again!"
"Have you also heard about what happened last night?" Hattori Heiji was about to deeply analyze the other party's purpose and detailed operations of framing Jiang Xia, but before he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that Suzuki Sonoko didn't seem to know about the Black Organization.
——Judging from the tone, the so-called "crisis" of this high school girl probably just refers to Jiang Xia being abducted into a room by a woman he just met.
"Hmph, superficial." Hattori Heiji immediately lost his temper. Just then they arrived at the station entrance. He waved goodbye to this Tokyo classmate whom he had met several times, and reminded him again, "Don't forget, don't mention my presence to Jiang Xia..."
"Hi."
