Chapter 3399 3411 [Mauri Ran's Tracking Business]
When she returned to the table with the cake and opened the lid, Ai Huihara discovered that there was a beautiful candle in the bag, which was made into the shape of a snowflake.
"Such an exquisite cake doesn't look like a gift. It must have been bought specially."
The mini scientist, who also went to the dessert shop frequently, saw the clue at a glance and smiled unconsciously: she wanted to know what kind of people her parents were, and then she got her mother's tape; she wanted a birthday cake, and then she actually got a cake... Is this what ordinary people often call "happiness"?
After a moment of happiness and calm, Huiyuan Ai belatedly realized something was wrong and was stunned for a moment: "..." Huh? Wait.
...So why did Jiang Xia suddenly go to buy a cake?
At that time, they hadn't set out yet, so they shouldn't have known that their sister had hidden something in the design studio, let alone what it was, but...
"Could it be..." Huiyuan Ai thought with difficulty, "Another 'coincidence'?"
A scientist was tossing and turning in bed, trying hard to convince himself.
Outside the door.
Conan and Dr. Agasa looked at the closed door, then turned around and looked at each other.
Dr. Agasa was a little surprised. He went to the kitchen to get some snacks, then laughed at Conan and said, "I was worried that as soon as I opened the door just now, you would rush in to get the things you found, but you didn't find them."
"What image do you have of me?" Conan pushed his glasses up speechlessly and muttered:
“That shape and size doesn’t look like a disk, but judging by the sound when it collides, it’s probably some magnetic tape.
"A tape is a medium that either contains some evidence and conversation, or it could be something that Akemi Miyano wants to say to Haibara... Judging from Haibara's expression, it doesn't seem like the former. And if it's a family matter, it seems inappropriate to disturb her at this time."
...Having said that, he still wanted to know! After all, how could a family affair between two members of an organization have nothing to do with the organization?
But when she is happy like this, you should not spoil her fun. Wait until Haibara Ai is happy and then ask her when she is in a good mood.
...Speaking of which, what exactly was recorded on those tapes?
Conan stroked his chin, thinking hard. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked over at the other side. "Is Jiang Xia really not curious at all? When it comes to protecting privacy, this guy is such a role model."
Dr. Agasa thought this was a good idea: "If Jiang Xia really likes to get to the bottom of things like you do, then the real reason why you turned into a child would have been hidden from him a long time ago."
"..." Conan thought about it carefully and found that it was true. As the beneficiary, he nodded and agreed, "Respecting privacy is really a good habit."
At the bedroom door.
A ghost who had just sung a birthday song for his sister squeezed out of the crack of the door, intending to help his psychic master to see what this mini detective was doing and whether he had gone out as usual.
Suddenly hearing Conan's muttering, Miyano Akemi shifted uncomfortably. After listening patiently, she squeezed back through the crack of the door with a guilty conscience.
…
Jiang Xia spent an ordinary day.
When he woke up the next day and went out, he found a sneaky Mao Lilan hiding in the corner.
Jiang Xia drove his motorcycle for a while, then braked and turned back - if the ghosts hadn't recognized him, he might have really passed by. It was really hard to find a classmate who didn't have murderous intent.
Ran Mao Li, who was hiding in the alley and was hesitating whether to chase after the motorcycle, was surprised and relieved when she saw the motorcycle coming back.
She pulled down her scarf and looked around like a detective at work before saying to Jiang Xia, "There's one thing that seems a little strange."
——Ever since Teacher Judy was in the audience but inexplicably knew that Jiang Xia and Conan had encountered a murder backstage, Ran Maoli has become wary of various electronic devices.
She originally wanted to communicate with Jiang Xia by phone or text message, but she had been catching up on a lot of spy dramas recently and was worried about being monitored, so after thinking it over, she decided to just come over and communicate in person - after all, the two sides were not far apart, and face-to-face conversation was obviously much safer than sending messages.
Jiang Xia looked at the female classmate who was investigating "suspicious teacher Judy" on her own and asked leisurely, "What did you find out?"
Mao Lilan took out her phone and opened the app Jiang Xia had installed for her. Soon, the screen refreshed and a map popped up.
The newly minted female detective zoomed out of the screen, pointed at a red line on the map, and said seriously, "A few days ago, I noticed that Teacher Judy suddenly left Tokyo and went out of town.
"At first I thought she was going for a drive or an outing, but then I looked at the time recorded by the software and found that she was only there for less than half an hour before she came back."
Jiang Xia nodded: "What do you think she did outside?"
Mao Lilan hesitated to speak. "Looking at the map, the place where Teacher Judy stopped is just an ordinary suburb. It's the middle of the night, and there's no tourist attraction there. I always feel something is wrong about stopping there suddenly.
"But I didn't think much of it at the time - you're just going for a drive and you stop occasionally to enjoy the scenery, so as long as it's not next to a garbage station, it's fine to stop anywhere.
"but……"
Mao Lilan sighed: "But last night, she went there again, late at night, and to the same place... If she was just taking a casual drive, her route would not be so consistent. And if she was going there to enjoy the scenery, there really is nothing to enjoy there."
Jiang Xia showed a thoughtful expression: "It seems that Teacher Judy may have some little secrets that we don't know."
Mao Lilan frowned, a little confused: in the dead of night, driving out of the city specifically, and then staying in a fixed place for a short while... This sounded like attending some evil midnight party.
After hesitating for a moment, she said to Jiang Xia, "I...I kind of want to go and take a look at that place."
"Okay." Originally, she just made a suggestion that she wasn't sure if it was right or not, but to Mao Lilan's surprise, Jiang Xia actually agreed very readily.
As she stared blankly, the highly motivated detective checked his watch and began to consider his route. "It's a bit far, so we won't ride a motorcycle. Let's take the subway first, then take a taxi."
As he said this, he stepped on the accelerator again, just like when he passed by just now, and returned to the yard in a flash with the roar of the motor, and put the motorcycle down.
Mao Lilan finally came to her senses: "..."
When it comes to going out and playing, Jiang Xia's drive is even more terrifying than Yuanzi's.
