Chapter 3365 3377 [Pajama Party] Ask for monthly ticket ()
Judy relied on her sense of shame to trick the high school detective and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She then turned to the two high school girls, intending to hold this so-called farewell party as quickly as possible and send them away from home.
However, at this moment, Mao Lilan's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
It seemed perfectly normal for a young girl to receive a phone call from someone.
However, at this moment, for some reason, Judy's heart skipped a beat, and she always felt that something bad was about to happen.
Under her wary gaze, Mao Lilan answered the phone.
Then, the female student uttered a word that Judy didn't want to hear: "Slumber party? We're just having an ordinary party today... What? Teacher Judy told you?"
Judy: “!!!”
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xia said to Mao Lilan, "On my way to the convenience store, I happened to run into Uncle Mao Li on his way to the pachinko parlor. On my way back, I ran into him because he didn't bring enough money and was about to go home to get it. He asked me why you didn't come back with him, so I explained it to you. I remember that if you have a pajama party, it seems like you have to stay overnight at a friend's house."
"Well, that's right, but..." Ran Mouri always thought that she and Sonoko were just having a meal at Teacher Judy's house and then going back, so that was considered a party.
But now it seems... they are going to hold such a professional party?
...Well, considering that Teacher Judy is American, this situation seems normal.
While thinking, Mao Lilan looked at Judy for confirmation.
Teacher Judy gave a somewhat forced smile and nodded at her.
Mao Lilan: “…”
Before I thought about it, I didn't think anything of it. But now it seems that everything about Teacher Judy is suspicious—especially that smile. If I were to describe it in detail, I think I could write an 800-word detailed analysis.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia suddenly asked on the other end of the phone: "By the way, have you been to Kudo's house these days?"
"No." Mao Lilan was a little confused. "Why do you ask?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Nothing much. I'll hang up now. I wish you all a good time in advance."
…
Dr. Agasa's house.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xia looked at Conan, who was standing at his feet and looking up at him: "She said no."
"Really..." Conan touched his chin, his expression a little solemn.
After Jiang Xia left, he looked everywhere for his bow-tie voice changer but couldn't find it.
Later, when Conan was rummaging around by the window, he looked up and saw his own Kudo House, which was uninhabited and almost regarded as a haunted house by the children nearby.
After looking at it for a while with a frown on his face, and thinking of all the clues around him recently, Conan came up with a guess: someone might have entered his house recently.
The best case scenario, of course, is that Mao Lilan has nothing to do and comes over to visit and help clean up.
But the worst-case scenario... who would take the time to sneak into the house of "Kudo Shinichi" who is theoretically dead?
After thinking for a while, Conan asked Jiang Xia hopefully, "Have you been to my house recently?"
Jiang Xia said helplessly: "Why should I go to your house?" Your house is not a real haunted house.
Conan sighed and could only prepare for the worst.
But that's all in the future, and now...
Where did his voice changer go?
Without this, if he encounters a case again and Jiang Xia is not around, he can only watch the police and the confused Mouri Kogoro solve the case randomly!
"Doctor!" Conan, who had failed to find the bow tie, finally used his ultimate move, "I lost my voice changer. Do you have a spare one?"
Jiang Xia looked at Kudo, who was skilled at acting like a spoiled child, picked up the coffee pot on the table and poured himself a cup.
He looked out the window, in the direction of Teacher Judy's house: I don't know if it's fun over there.
…
It turns out that it's hard for a small party of three to be too lively if one of the participants is not interested.
The three of them ate and drank, chatting about this and that for a while. After a while, Judy, reeking of alcohol, fell on the dining table with a thud.
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at the teacher who suddenly went offline in confusion, and reached out to push her.
After confirming that she was still alive and just sleeping, and not poisoned, Suzuki Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief: "Not bad, not bad..."
But soon, the party-loving high school girl became dissatisfied again: "Two glasses of champagne is not enough? Teacher Judy's alcohol tolerance is too low. Or is her race not suitable for drinking?"
"No way, maybe the teacher just felt that he was about to resign and go home, so he was too relaxed and fell asleep quickly."
Ran Mao Li muttered to herself: It is also possible that the teacher doesn't really want to have this party, so he wants to pretend to be asleep and then fast forward everything.
As she thought about it, she suddenly sighed: Not long ago, she was still a carefree high school girl, but now... how did she suddenly become like this?
Shaking her head helplessly, Mao Lilan put down the empty juice cup and stood up: "I'm going to the bathroom."
She went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and scooped up a handful of water.
After washing her face, Mao Lilan looked at herself in the mirror and found that there seemed to be a bit more sadness between her brows.
"Sigh... I hope this is all just a misunderstanding, and Teacher Judy is acting so strangely for some other reason."
After praying silently in her heart, Mao Lilan was about to turn off the water when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a face out of the corner of her eye.
She was startled and looked down suddenly, only to see a photo stuck under the mirror.
A corner of the photo was revealed, and in this small picture, Conan was carrying a schoolbag and talking happily to the person next to him.
He wasn't looking at the camera, and no matter which angle you looked at it, it looked like a candid shot... or a sneak shot.
“…”
The water was flowing, but the air seemed to be stagnant.
Mao Lilan stared at the photo in shock for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, she swallowed hard, reached out tentatively, and gently bent the side of the mirror.
With a creak, the dressing mirror opened, revealing the cabinet inside.
This design is very common. The cabinet behind the mirror usually contains some rarely used toiletries.
However, there were no daily necessities in Teacher Judy's cabinet, but it was filled with photos.
——There are photos of Conan and other elementary school students going to and from school, candid photos of Kudo Shinichi appearing at the Teitan Junior High School campus festival, her and Suzuki Sonoko, and occasionally Jiang Xia... I don't know why, in every photo with Jiang Xia, there is a line drawn on Jiang Xia's face with a black pen, just covering her eyes.
