Chapter 3315 3327 [Grayhara Ai's Persuasion] Ask for monthly votes ()
Originally, I planned to come out and have fun, but in the end, I ended up happily solving a case.
...Anyway, the purpose of the group activity was finally achieved, and everyone quickly returned home with different feelings.
Suzuki Sonoko fell asleep without distraction, while "Dr. Shinde" and Teacher Judy were thinking about their future plans.
Shuichi Akai, who did not enter the venue but watched the whole process from a distance, wore headphones and repeatedly reviewed today's case, trying to combine it with the incident when he encountered Uzo not long ago, thinking about the real intentions of this cadre.
Meanwhile, at the Maori Detective Agency.
Ran Mao Li sent Conan to wash up.
When Conan changed into his pajamas and was brushing his teeth in the bathroom with Mouri Kogoro, she secretly unfolded Conan's coat and began to search carefully.
"There is no bug..." Mao Lilan frowned, "Then how did Teacher Judy know that Conan and Jiang Xia had a murder? And why did she pretend not to know after knowing this?"
The more she thought about it, the weirder it seemed. After hesitating for a moment, Mao Lilan said, "I'm going out for a while and will be back soon!" Then she hurried downstairs before the other two could react.
She crossed several streets and soon ran to a house with a sign saying "Jiangxia" on the door and rang the doorbell. However, the doorbell rang for a long time but no one opened the door.
"Could it be..." Mao Lilan's expression became serious. She couldn't help but recall the time when Teacher Judy had just come to Tokyo and was not very familiar with her and Sonoko, and Sonoko had complained about this foreign teacher: It seemed that she said something like "a pervert who sticks to Jiang Xia."
Could it be that what Yuanzi said was right, that Teacher Judy was right about Jiang Xia...
"Xiaolan?"
A voice came from the side, interrupting her increasingly outrageous thoughts.
Mao Lilan was startled and turned her head. Following the sound, she saw Jiang Xia opening the gate of the courtyard of Dr. Agasa's house next door and walking towards her: "Why are you here so late at night? What happened?"
She then looked behind her, as if she was expecting to see the other two detectives and the murder cases that the detectives were carrying around.
At the same time, another head popped out from behind the gate - the taciturn mixed-race little girl, wearing home pajamas and a furry rabbit-ear nightcap on her head, was also looking up at her with a puzzled expression.
Seeing this everyday scene, Mao Lilan's floating thoughts finally came to the ground. She squatted down and smiled at Huiyuan Ai embarrassedly: "Sorry, I disturbed your rest."
"It's okay. It's not my bedtime yet."
As Huibara Ai spoke, she covered her lips and yawned: Actually, she really wanted to go to bed earlier and adjust her schedule, but when she was browsing her phone before going to bed, she suddenly saw news about Jiang Xia.
After calculating the time and looking at the case, she suddenly understood: Jiang Xia probably didn't have time to eat again.
So she got up again and made a simple dinner. Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Xia came over here looking for food.
Huihara Ai: “…” Come to think of it, this high school girl went out with Jiang Xia today, right? What is she doing here? It can’t be because she is hungry, right?
A kind-hearted elementary school student began to calculate whether the remaining food would be enough for Mao Lilan to eat.
But soon, after seeing the expression on Mouri Ran's face, Haibara Ai realized that she was wrong: this lady probably didn't come here to eat, her expression was quite tense - it was the first time she saw such a serious expression on this high school girl's face.
Sure enough, after greeting her, Mao Lilan pulled Jiang Xia aside and whispered something.
…
"Eavesdropping device?" Jiang Xia looked down at himself, "I don't think there is one. Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Mao Lilan opened her mouth and wanted to express her suspicion, but she was worried that if she wrongly accused someone, it would tarnish Teacher Judy's reputation, so she could only laugh dryly and said, "Because... because there are so many people and eyes, I'm worried that some reporter will install something similar to get information."
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Xia again, scanning him up and down like an X-ray: Jiang Xia's attitude just now was too casual. She was really worried that this famous detective would be careless and be eavesdropped on more things.
Noticing her gaze that was hard to ignore, Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, and then he took off his coat and turned it inside out to show her, then he turned over the other corners of his clothes and said, "Look, there's nothing there."
"Really not." After a pause, Mao Lilan thought of a new possibility and looked at Jiang Xia's phone. "Your phone should not have been lent to anyone recently."
If Jiang Xia's phone was used for eavesdropping, that would be even more terrifying! Jiang Xia is a famous detective. If some big shot came to him to solve a case and told him something that needed to be kept secret, but it was eavesdropped by criminals... then this would definitely cause great damage to Jiang Xia's reputation and career.
Jiang Xia heard this and looked at the suddenly suspicious female high school student: "..."
How to explain that even though Noah was there, no one could hear the news from his phone?
After thinking about it and looking at the round Noah's ball, Jiang Xia suddenly had an idea and found a person with similar functions.
"My phone is always in my hand. When others are operating it, I will also watch it." Jiang Xia said, "If you are worried, I will ask Dr. Agasa to help me check it out later - but what happened? Why do you think I have a bug?"
Mao Lilan hesitated: "This..."
"It seems that you already have someone you suspect, but you are worried about his reputation, so you don't want to speak out."
A clear voice came from the side, speaking with the body of a 7-year-old child, which shocked Mao Lilan, a 17-year-old female high school student: "I suggest you tell Jiang Xia everything - if you can't figure out something, let smarter and more professional people think about it. This is common sense."
"Also, if your conscience really bothers you, you can keep your speculation to yourself and just objectively describe what you saw. This shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
Mao Lilan stared blankly at the little girl who was not even as tall as her thigh: "This..."
Seeing that she was somewhat relaxed, Huiyuan Ai yawned again and took the opportunity to say, "You should have read a lot of novels and watched a lot of movies - there are always some people who, after discovering suspicious traces, don't tell others for various reasons, and are quickly killed, and his companions also suffer disasters because of this..."
"I, I understand!" Mao Lilan shuddered and finally compromised: Silencing her would be fine, she believed she had the ability to protect herself. But if this brought danger to Jiang Xia and the others...
