Chapter 3216 3228 [Rum: A-choo! ]
The dog didn't want to take a walk, so everyone took John and strolled back to Lawyer Orange's villa.
On the way back, Conan looked up at Curacao's back, his eyes becoming even more vigilant.
Just now, Xiaolan was wearing sneakers to chase the dog, and it took her a lot of effort. However, this female lawyer, wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes, caught up with Xiaolan effortlessly on this bumpy field, without even taking a breath. Suzuki Sonoko, who was also wearing small leather shoes, not only fell behind a lot, but also gasped for a long time when she caught up with the dog, holding on to a tree like a dead dog. In comparison, the physical strength of this Miss Shirai is really not like that of a... Bang!
"Hiss!" Conan was suddenly hit by a black hand, and his thoughts were shattered. He held his head and turned back with a grin, and found that it was Suzuki Sonoko.
"What are you doing!" the elementary school student complained.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at him suspiciously: "I feel like the way you looked at me just now is a bit annoying..."
Conan remembered what he was thinking just now, and felt a little guilty. He turned around and ran away like a real elementary school student.
Curacao took all of this in and nodded secretly: "..." What Vodka said was right. Sometimes, there was no harmony between Uzo's minions. Although their conflicts were extremely limited, it might come in handy to master this at a critical moment...
…
When an organizational cadre was secretly recording useless things.
The other side.
"Is this the end of the conversation?"
The male secretary who was busy with other things eavesdropped on the progress and fell silent for a short time: No negative material about Jiang Xia was recorded at all, how can I explain this to that old man?
"I knew that the woman who was familiar with Jiang Xia would not betray him easily. If she wanted to use Jiang Xia's dirty laundry to become famous, she would have sold it eight hundred years ago. Why would she wait until now to transfer it to a middleman?"
"Forget it. I've messed up a lot in the past, and soon I won't have to do these things anymore...whatever you want."
He nodded slightly, quickly calmed down, and continued to work on the task at hand.
…
"You're back." The old maid heard the noise and came out. She took out the desserts she had just baked and brought them to the guests who were taking a walk in the yard to enjoy the scenery.
"What a vast view here." Conan took a bite of the cake, looked at the view where the sea and the sky met in the distance, and muttered to himself: It seems that the old lawyer is not only good at making money, but also knows how to enjoy life.
Curacao was sitting nearby, and subconsciously looked over when she heard that. Suddenly, her gaze paused, and she discovered something.
"Huh?" The two high school girls also saw it. Mao Lilan pointed to the sea and squinted her eyes to take a closer look. "That ship... should be a ship, why does it look so strange in shape?"
Curacao: "..." Of course it was because half of it sank into the sea. Finally, the stage she had waited for two days was finally about to open...
The old maid was also attracted by the guests' noise. Looking at the place where everyone was discussing, she was suddenly startled: "That boat, could it be Mr. Ju's boat? He usually likes to go fishing in that area."
"Are you sure?" Conan's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but stand up. "The ship has sunk to the point where only a tip is left. If there really are people on it..."
"Let's go take a look first. If we're lucky, maybe there's no one on board. It's just an empty ship that rushed over from somewhere else." Jiang Xia stood up and said to the old maid seriously under Curacao's strange gaze, "Just in case, call the police first and ask them to prepare to go into the water to rescue people."
The old maid nodded hurriedly and hurried off to make a phone call.
…
It didn't take long for the police to arrive by car.
After observing for a while the unfortunate fishing boat that had sunk to a point where only a tip was left, they called in boats and salvage equipment.
It took quite a while, but finally, when the sun was setting, the police officers finally fished out a wet corpse from the river.
The corpse was wearing a low-key but expensive outfit, and died peacefully with his eyes closed.
The two young policemen placed the body on the open space by the river. Next to it, the police inspector from Chiba Prefecture took a look at it and asked the old maid, "There really is someone in the water... How is it? Do you recognize him?"
The old maid covered her eyes in fear, took a quick look and nodded: "It's Lawyer Ju."
"I think so too." Inspector Inoki sighed, "I never thought that the witness in the previous case would become the victim in this case."
"It's you again." Suzuki Sonoko looked at the familiar police captain and was a little confused. "Isn't this Tokyo? Why are the police from Chiba Prefecture in charge?"
Inspector Inoki: "..." What do you mean it's me again? I was just wondering why it's you again!
However, recalling the last case, Jiang Xia had already solved the case neatly before meeting up with the police, and the criminal even surrendered himself...
Inspector Inoki smiled and said patiently, "This is the border area between the two sides. I heard that there might be a body in the water. We are better at salvaging it, and we happen to have the tools, so we came here."
Next to him, Conan was looking at the corpse on the ground, and was briefly dazed.
This old lawyer who was secretly trying to make things difficult for the hunter and seemed to have ill intentions towards Jiang Xia... just died like that?
He suddenly felt the absurdity of having leveled up, bought equipment, figured out the route, gathered his companions, and was about to go up the mountain to attack the Demon King, only to find out that the Demon King was holding a funeral.
"Although this lawyer has a bad character and has made enemies everywhere, it's normal for him to die suddenly one day...but this is too sudden."
Something always feels wrong, and if I were to say something is wrong…
Conan's eyes moved and he subconsciously looked at the only suspicious person present, "Ms. Shirai".
Seeing this, he was horrified - "Miss Shirai" was looking at the corpse on the ground, and there was actually a strange smile at the corner of her lips.
...What is she laughing at? ? Could it be that Lawyer Ju relied on his position and connections in the judicial community to bully others, and finally accidentally offended the organization, so he was killed?
He was so shocked that he forgot to hide his gaze, and soon Curacao got scared and discovered the little peeper.
She came back to her senses and felt the smile on her lips. Her heart skipped a beat: "..." Oh no.
——She really hated Lawyer Tachibana, the guy who assigned her the task of coming into contact with Uzo and who was unusually similar to Rum in some ways. Every word and every expression of this guy accurately hit her anger point.
In addition, she had been up for two nights in a row and was in the worst condition. So when she finally saw the old man's corpse, she accidentally laughed.
