Chapter 3210 3222 [Organization cadres' wishes] Ask for monthly tickets (づど)
Curacao: "..." She thought that she would hear a terrified scream in the middle of the night yesterday, and then everyone would start to gather together to look for the murderer who killed Lawyer Tachibana, and then she would be able to happily complete this mission and get away at the speed of light... but it didn't happen.
…Then what was the significance of the night she had spent with her eyes open?
The cruel reality is not affected by the scripts imagined by some people. In the end, in Curacao's unwilling to believe gaze, the vehicle continued to move forward and turned to the door of a magnificent villa.
"Jiang Xia, the children said they haven't finished their drawing diaries yet and they need to hand them in at the beginning of the semester." Dr. Agasa waved at Jiang Xia from the window. "It's rare that they love learning so much, so I'll take them back first."
The three kids sitting in the back seat were shocked: "!! Why did you mention us? What if Brother Jiang Xia guessed that we were just looking for an excuse to avoid him?
...However, this excuse sounds like they love studying, and perhaps it will help them become good kids in the eyes of Brother Jiang Xia?
The three elementary school students huddled in their seats obediently, and soon drove away with Dr. Agasa's Beetle car, continuing their journey towards Tokyo.
Haibara Ai did not go with them, but got into a car with Jiang Xia in advance.
After getting off the car, she looked at the scenery outside the city and couldn't help but pull Jiang Xia, whispering, "Didn't I say last night that I overheard the conversation of that lawyer Ju, and he was going to deal with you? Why did you come anyway?"
Jiang Xia said in a serious tone, "It's useless to escape. Offense is the best defense. Although this is not an offense, only by coming and taking a look can I know how much preparation he has made."
Huihara Ai was still worried: "But..."
Jiang Xia patted her head and said, "Don't worry, there will always be a way."
In the distance, Curacao looked at this harmonious scene and turned his head away silently.
Such a terrible child, Wuzo really has more than one - what is this? A variant of the Baker Street Guerrillas, the Death Guerrillas?
She turned her head back, fearing that if she looked at him any longer she would be harassed by this devilish child.
Next to her, Lawyer Ju, who was trying hard to gain some value from Jiang Xia, obviously had no such concerns.
"Mr. Jiang Xia." He came over and took Jiang Xia and the others to his villa in a hospitable manner. "This is where I live most of the time - John, come and welcome the guests."
In a doghouse at the door, a long-haired dog ran out upon hearing the words and barked twice towards this side.
"It looks pretty cute." Suzuki Sonoko looked at the hospitable long-haired dog with great interest. "What breed is it, an Old English Sheepdog?"
"Well... I'm not really sure." Lawyer Ju smiled. "It's a stray dog picked up by the villa manager. Because it's very human and smart, I just kept it as a guard."
As he spoke, he greeted them warmly like a kind elder: "Okay, come in quickly. You are carrying so much luggage, put it down quickly and have a good rest."
…
Lawyer Ju warmly entertained the guests. Like a tour guide, he took everyone around his villa and yard. He also went fishing nearby. Lunch and dinner were sumptuous seafood feasts.
"I didn't expect there are so many ways to cook fish." Mao Lilan looked at the dazzling meal on the table and exclaimed, "It tastes so fresh."
"Haha, of course. We just caught these fish this afternoon." Lawyer Tachibana took a sip of sake and said with enjoyment, "With Yaeko's superb cooking skills, it's hard to taste this kind of delicacy even in the best restaurants in Tokyo."
Kamei Yaeko was referring to the villa manager. After serving the dishes, the elderly lady heard this and quickly said modestly, "These are just some country recipes, not worthy of being served in a formal banquet. I hope you all like them."
As he was speaking, a lazy voice came from the door: "Mrs. Yaeko - bring me a glass of red wine and some snacks."
Old maid: "Okay, ma'am, I'll go right away."
She bowed and went to the kitchen.
The woman at the door walked into the house wearing a beautiful evening gown. She was covered in jewels and looked like a starry sky at night. When she saw the guests in the house, Mrs. Tachibana said in a hostess's tone, "Welcome to my humble home. I am Kensuke's wife, Tachibana Yuka."
Conan: “…” Turns out to be his wife. I almost thought she was his daughter.
It seems amazing that a gray-haired old man has such a beautiful wife. However, facing this wife, Lawyer Ju's tone was not very good: "Didn't you say you would rest tonight and not eat? Why are you running out now?"
Mrs. Orange ignored him, just held her shawl in her arms and walked gracefully to the empty seat and sat down.
After she sat down, she looked at Jiang Xia and answered her husband's question: "Although I am not feeling well, since my idol is here, of course I have to come out to meet him."
Lawyer Ju: “…” Haha.
Mrs. Ju noticed the impatience beneath her husband's kind appearance, and she felt better. She tapped the wine bottle that the old maid had just brought with her nails inlaid with fine diamonds: "It's a rare dinner party, why don't you guys have some red wine too?"
Lawyer Tachibana: "No need, the guests don't drink anyway, I can just drink some sake."
Although he intended to dig up various scandals about Jiang Xia, he could not get involved in it - and he had actually asked Sakuraba to test it just now, but unfortunately, the high school detective did not accept it.
Beside him, Curacao silently poked at the sashimi on the plate: “…” Although Uzo is indeed not yet of the legal drinking age, why did you say this in front of him… But never mind, it’s better this way, the sooner this stage ends, the sooner I can be free.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, there was a ding-dong sound and the doorbell rang.
"Hmm?" Lawyer Ju frowned and looked at his watch. "Who would come to see me at this time of night?"
The male secretary stood up and walked to the video doorbell. When he looked closely, he saw a familiar woman reflected in the screen.
He turned back to Lawyer Tachibana and said, "It's Ms. Sugimura."
Lawyer Ju frowned even deeper, but did not say anything about kicking the man out. Seeing this, the male secretary put down the receiver and pressed the door-opening button.
Not long after, a woman in a suit and with neat short hair walked quickly into the living room.
"Mr. Ju." The woman was dressed like an elite, but she sounded flustered. She walked quickly towards Lawyer Ju, took something out of her bag, and whispered, "I received that kind of letter again today."
As she spoke, she placed an envelope on the table in front of Lawyer Tachibana.
