Chapter 3211 3223 [Suzuki Sonoko: Green Light! ]
Lawyer Ju looked down and saw what the woman handed over, and his face suddenly changed - it was a tattered envelope with an x marked on the seal with a black pen, and the signature "T.K" was written on the lower right corner.
"Someone sent this to the office." The young woman in a suit sighed, "I was worried that something might happen to you when you were on vacation because you didn't receive this letter, so I rushed it to you."
Lawyer Tachibana gritted his teeth, grabbed the envelope and put it in his pocket. He remembered something and turned to Jiang Xia and introduced her, "This is our law firm's accountant, Ms. Sugimura."
The accountant followed his gaze and looked at Jiang Xia, and asked in surprise: "Are you the ..."
"That's right." Mrs. Ju said with a smile, holding a red wine glass, "He is the famous Jiang Xia. How is he? Better than on TV, right? This is a rare opportunity. Do you want to sit down and have dinner with us?"
Suzuki Sonoko: “?” When you, the outside fans, face Jiang Xia, shouldn’t you be impressed by his detective skills first? What does it mean to be good-looking - you have bad intentions, you must be a fake fan!
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the accountant smile gratefully at Mrs. Ju: "Then I'd better obey your command."
Suzuki Sonoko: “???” What’s going on, are you a fake fan too?
The accountant did not notice the scrutiny from a certain high school girl and sat down happily. The old maid then helped her add another set of bowls and chopsticks and brought her new meals.
The dinner, which seemed harmonious on the surface but everyone was thinking about their own things in private, ended in such a seemingly peaceful manner.
…
"What a luxurious house. A stone villa, a huge hot spring pool made of cypress, and such a large yard... It's like a modern castle."
Before going to bed, Mao Lilan looked at this magnificent villa and thought of her mother's low-key residence - although they were both celebrities in the legal profession, their styles were very different.
"The land in this place is cheap, and the construction cost of the villa is just a little higher." Suzuki Sonoko yawned as she soaked in the bathtub with her bestie. "It's nice to have this kind of environment when traveling, but..."
She touched her chin and frowned: "I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that the atmosphere here is a little strange - that lawyer Ju has a strange attitude towards Jiang Xia, as if he is calculating something."
"?" Huibara Ai, who was bathing alone in the corner, looked at her in surprise when she heard that.
...I didn't expect that this high school girl looks silly at ordinary times, but her intuition is so sharp at the critical moment.
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard Suzuki Sonoko clapping her hands, and suddenly realized: "Could it be...could it be that he has some unspeakable hobbies, such as liking to watch others get close to his wife, so he specially asked Jiang Xia to come here? - I've seen such ethical TV dramas!"
"...Ahem." Huihara Ai slipped and almost choked on the water. After regaining her balance, she turned her head away silently, moved her position, and sat further away from them: She was wrong, as expected, a fool is a fool, even if he has a flash of inspiration, he can't come up with anything serious.
…
The other side.
In the corridor, Conan looked through the French window at the row of luxury cars in the parking lot outside, then turned to Jiang Xia and muttered, "This guy really made a lot of money, and he's not even willing to pretend, just showing off his wealth."
Jiang Xia thought of the gold he had dug from his boss's hometown: "Yes, but it seems a bit of a waste to leave the money unused."
As he was speaking, suddenly, a roar came from the room in front: "What's going on with this amount?"
Conan was startled and quickly shut his mouth, quietly looking at the closed door diagonally in front of him - that seemed to be Lawyer Tachibana's study.
Perhaps because there were no outsiders in the study, Lawyer Ju no longer maintained his kind appearance. He slammed the table and angrily said to the accountant: "Stop pretending. You must have embezzled all the public funds of the firm! - I gave you this job because I trusted you, but what about you? Look at what you have done!"
The female accountant raised her lips, not knowing whether she was mocking or smiling bitterly: "Your wife spends money like water and has no idea of frugality. I am just an accountant under you, how dare I tell Mrs. Ju what to do? In fact, I heard that your wife is using this method to take revenge on you."
Conan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, heard his ears twitch: "..."Revenge?
Female accountant: "In short, if you have time to wrongly accuse me, you might as well divorce your wife as soon as possible, or find out the private money she has hidden. This is the right way to save the firm. Otherwise, when you fall into the hands of 'T.K.', it will be too late."
Conan pressed himself against the door, looking as if he wanted to pass through the wall to witness the scene: "..."T.K? He had taken a sneak peek at it during dinner just now. This should be the signature on the mysterious envelope - could it be that this barrister had received a threatening letter from a mysterious person?
Also, how could a young accountant dare to speak so harshly to her immediate superior? Was there any hidden story behind this?
As he was thinking and eavesdropping, he suddenly felt his collar tighten, and a hand lifted him from behind and carried him into the corridor.
"?!" Conan was startled and turned around to find that the sneak attack came from Jiang Xia. He was about to ask his friend to let him go and go back to eavesdrop, but at this moment, the study door opened with a click.
There was a sound of ladies' leather shoes hitting the floor - the female accountant took a folder, pushed the door open and left.
When she walked away, the sound of conversation could be heard again in the study.
Conan hurried back and continued to lie at the door and eavesdrop.
This time, the voice that came from inside was that of Lawyer Tachibana. The old lawyer changed his weak attitude when facing the accountant just now, and asked his male secretary in a cold voice: "Sakuraba, you should have caught the fox tail of that woman, right?"
The male secretary bowed his head in shame: "Sorry, not yet."
"You're useless." Lawyer Ju snorted irritably, "That's why you can't pass the judicial examination!"
The male secretary felt so hurt that he could not help but retort: "How can you say that? You know best why I failed the exam! - In order to deal with the tasks you assigned me, I am busy from dawn to dusk every day. I have no time to study or review. If it were normal work, it would be fine, but you have to leave all the things in your life to me. I am just like a servant in the old times...!"
Bang!
There was a crisp sound of slapping.
Outside the door, Conan shrank his head and rubbed his face. He almost had the illusion that he was being photographed too.
