Chapter 3259 Chapter 3271 [Subordinates]
Jiang Xia looked at the twins who were alone, and seemed a little curious: "Where is the other Miss Shimokasa?"
The old housekeeper also discovered this problem: "Yes, your sister... uh, or your younger sister? I remember you were cleaning the yard together just now."
Naoko Torimaru: “…”
She was silent for a moment, turned her head and looked towards the door. As expected, she saw a shivering skirt at the door.
She pretended not to see it and said to the housekeeper, "Maybe she saw dust at the door and was cleaning it - I'll call her in now."
Of course this is a lie.
Her fake sister, Takamori Masumi, was not a maid who was so dedicated that she could not tolerate a little dust. This guy was reluctant to enter the house, of course, there was only one reason - Jiang Xia was in this room.
Naoko Torimaru: "..." A while ago, Takamori Masumi was framed by her, and under her psychological manipulation and suggestion, she got involved in a serial murder case and became the scapegoat she carefully prepared... However, this drama directed by her ultimately failed to end successfully, because the whole murder case was seen through by Jiang Xia. The puppeteer and her puppet were both unable to hide the truth from the detective, and unfortunately both were arrested.
The whole thing was supposed to end like this, but who knew that on the way to the police station, the two were accidentally kidnapped. Afterwards, Torimaru Naoko was shocked to find that she was not the "puppet master" she thought she was - behind her, there was another mastermind behind everything. She was just like Takamori Masumi, who she once despised, a stupid sheep who knew nothing.
After undergoing plastic surgery and transformation by the mysterious organization, Naoko Torimaru inexplicably got a new identity and a fake twin sister.
Naoko Torimaru could have calmly accepted this new life, but she extremely hated the feeling of being controlled and not having her life in her own hands... So she approached Jiang Xia and volunteered to become the detective's undercover agent, hoping that Jiang Xia could bring down the hateful mastermind as soon as possible.
But unfortunately, Wuzo has not given her any clear and important tasks, and this feat of overcoming the strong has never made much progress...
Thinking of this, Torimaru Naoko secretly sighed. She suppressed the anxiety in her heart and decided to deal with the current matter first - she had to warn this fake sister who was so scared of Jiang Xia that she didn't want to go in, and let her pay attention to her disguise.
…
As a maid who should be summoned and dismissed at will, Takamori Masumi's hesitation and reluctance to show up are really unprofessional.
Fortunately, the "twin" maids had been keeping a low profile since they arrived here, and lived like a background board. The old housekeeper didn't care what they were doing at all - anyway, he called these two people here just to let the guests take a look, so as to facilitate the search for the suspect who sent the threatening letter in the future.
The two maids looked exactly the same, so seeing one was like seeing the other. When he saw one of the "Shimokasa" ladies go out to find the other, he simply waved his hand and said, "The monitoring room is a bit narrow, don't come in and join in the fun, go and do your own thing."
The maid responded and went out.
Conan, however, looked at the door where she disappeared, and felt somewhat concerned about the two maids.
"I remember that when I ran into these two people at the place where Mrs. Su Fang was stabbed to death by the mask, their behavior was a little strange - although it was not obvious, one of them seemed to be avoiding Jiang Xia..."
The pseudo-elementary school student with a good memory touched his chin and quickly remembered what happened the last time he met the twins.
Just as I was about to think about it, Kudo Yukiko's voice suddenly rang out, and she pointed at one of the surveillance split screens: "Someone is moving in the yard!"
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze from the door and looked at the screen she was pointing at. He quickly recognized her: "This is the gardener, right?"
Mrs. Suhua was also frightened by the dark figure. After hearing Jiang Xia's words, she looked carefully and found that it was true.
She immediately complained: "It's already dark, why are you squatting there to scare people - it's so late, what's the point of cutting it!"
Fujieda Shigeru sighed, "Mr. Doi probably wants to make the garden look better. Tomorrow is my sister's birthday... but unfortunately she has passed away and won't be able to see it."
At this point, he shook his head helplessly: "No more chatting, I haven't written anything today, I have to go back to my room to write a novel - Uncle Ueki, these guests are left to you."
The old butler bowed to him and said, "Please rest assured, I will make sure the guests feel at home."
Fujieda Shigeru walked to the door, but stopped and looked back. Whether it was out of his heart or out of politeness, he praised her before leaving: "Actually, I would like to spend more time with the beautiful ladies, but unfortunately I am too busy - I wish you all good night in advance."
Having said that, he walked out and left.
When Mao Lilan heard his words, she remembered something. She looked at Kisaki Eri and Kudo Yukiko curiously: "Speaking of pity, why was the beauty pageant at Teitan Junior High School stopped halfway 20 years ago..."
She is very curious about the result!
Yukiko Kudo saw her curiosity and said, "Actually, that competition wasn't completely fruitless! Eri and I each received 10,000 votes, so it was a tie!"
But Hibiki Eri remembered something: "It's strange. In order to determine the winner, the school prepared 20,001 voting papers. How come there is one missing?"
"Yeah." Kudo Yukiko laughed. "It took a lot of effort to find the missing ticket. Jiangxia, if you were there, you might be able to help us find the number of tickets right away, so we can see the result."
Conan looked at this mother who was bent outward in silence: "..." How could she be there? 20 years ago, Jiang Xia was still a group of air - to put it another way, even if you can travel back in time, shouldn't you expect your son to show his skills? What, do you look down on my reasoning ability?
No one noticed the faint gaze from the elementary school student. Kisaki Eri shook her head at the suggestion of this old friend: "Really, do you really want to defeat me?"
Kudo Yukiko laughed: "Maybe that vote is yours!"
However, Mao Lilan looked thoughtful.
After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Speaking of the voting paper... is it stamped with the school emblem of Teitan Middle School in gold?"
"?!" Kudo Yukiko and Kisaki Eri turned around suddenly and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Mao Lilan recalled: "I saw it in the pocket of my dad's high school uniform when I was sorting out old clothes at home... I was very confused at the time what it was for, but I didn't expect it to be a vote for this grand beauty pageant."
