Chapter 37 I need to take him out to play more often. Please give me a monthly ticket (〃)
After taking the statement and extorting Fenghu Kyosuke, Jiang Xia planned to go home.
On the way back, when passing by the commercial street, Xiaobai looked at the TV in the street window and was stunned for a moment.
It tugged at Jiang Xia's ears.
Jiang Xia was startled, thinking that he would get another reward.
Who knew that when he stopped and turned around to look expectantly, he found that this time, it was not the murderous aura that attracted Xiaobai.
It's a variety show on TV.
——On the screen, Yoko Kinoshita is promoting her new album.
Xiaobai stared at the screen and looked at the album with a longing look.
Jiang Xia: “…”
After picking up the ghost baby, he has bought a lot of magazines and albums related to Yoko Kinoshita, which is the same as preparing small toys when raising a cat.
However, for the latest albums like this, people usually have to queue up to buy them...
Jiang Xia glanced at the replay time displayed on TV and told Gui in advance: "You can go and have a look, but it may not be available."
…
The rain stopped for a while and then started again.
Jiang Xia held an umbrella and found a place to buy the album.
When I saw the trampled ground in front of the video store, I felt something was not good.
When I went in, I saw that the new album had been sold out.
"..." Only at this time could Jiang Xia intuitively feel that "Yoko Kinoshita is really popular."
Xiaobai looked at the empty shelves, pressed his eyes, and whimpered.
Jiang Xia: “…” Raising a ghost is really troublesome.
He went to a few other stores to have a look, pretending to try harder.
As expected, other stores were out of stock too.
After visiting the last store, Jiang Xia dealt with the ghost perfunctorily, breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, someone behind him suddenly called him hesitantly: "Jiang Xia?"
Jiang Xia turned around following the sound.
There was no one behind him, only a row of bookshelves.
Looking more closely, he saw a pair of eyes appearing from the gap between the bookshelves, staring at him.
Jiang Xia was stunned, and the key words immediately flashed through his mind: "Bookshelf Body Hiding Incident".
...The search was unsuccessful.
“……”It seems that there is no such case…
Just as I was wondering, I saw the pair of eyes between the bookshelves blinked gently.
It's bulingbuling, and it looks like it's not only alive, but also a little bit energetic.
"..." This time, Jiang Xia recognized it immediately.
——Suzuki Sonoko?
…
Opposite the bookshelf.
When Suzuki Sonoko saw Jiang Xia turning around, she said to the person beside her in surprise, "See, I said he looked like him!", and then disappeared in a flash.
One second later, Jiang Xia looked at Suzuki Sonoko who moved in front of him at the speed of teleportation, and took a half step back without making a sound, and was shocked by her speed.
"I didn't expect you to be a fan too." Suzuki Sonoko didn't notice Jiang Xia's subtle fear, but was simply happy to have discovered their "common interests".
After saying that, she remembered something, lowered her voice, and invited mysteriously: "By the way, the day after tomorrow, Xiaolan and I are going to attend Tatsuya's band celebration party. Do you want to go with us?"
The Suzuki Zaibatsu invested in many places and had considerable influence in the entertainment industry. Suzuki Sonoko was able to get in touch with many celebrities, making it very convenient for her to chase after them.
Jiang Xia: “…Tatsuya?” This name sounds a bit unfamiliar.
But soon, he shifted his gaze slightly and saw a poster in the store.
——The poster shows a man holding a microphone and singing passionately. The male star's hair is very sharp, with each strand standing up, making him look like he is wearing a hedgehog.
In the corner of the poster is the singer’s signature, “Tatsuya Kimura”.
The unique hair, plus the name...
Jiang Xia quickly remembered something and his heart was suddenly moved.
He and Suzuki had a friendly chat about the topic of "Tatsuya Kimura".
During the conversation, although Suzuki Sonoko vaguely felt that Jiang Xia was a fake fan, she didn't care.
It doesn't matter whether it's fake or not.
The important thing is to have dinner and sing karaoke with Jiang Xia, and with the addition of Kimura Tatsuya, it’s double the happiness!
…
A minute later, Suzuki Sonoko, with illusory little flowers floating around her body, waved her hand with a smile and watched Jiang Xia walk out of the store.
After a while, she gradually came to her senses.
"...Wait, you just made an appointment like that?" Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin suspiciously, turned around and grabbed Mao Lilan, "Did I hear correctly? He did agree, right?"
Mao Lilan also nodded in a daze.
Jiang Xia never bullies his classmates and doesn't seem cold, but there is always a strong sense of distance between him and his classmates.
...Of course, a big part of the reason was that Jiang Xia missed too many classes and did not leave enough time for everyone to get close to each other.
But this is also related to Jiang Xia's usual style of doing things - he never participates in private gatherings, nor does he like to go out with classmates.
…
Just now, when Suzuki Sonoko invited him, she actually didn't expect to actually get him. She just wanted to take the opportunity to talk to him and get a closer look at the handsome guy so that she could eat with him and make up for the regret of not buying the album...
However, I didn't expect that after a few words, he actually kidnapped the person out.
"..." Suzuki Sonoko held her face in her hands for a while, and suddenly had a guess, "Did he encounter something happy?"
...If we can figure out what that thing is, then in the future, wouldn't it be possible for me to just repeat the good thing and make Jiang Xia happy, and then invite him out for dinner anytime and anywhere?
Suzuki Sonoko's eyes sparkled, and she felt that she had firmly grasped the code to handsome guys.
…
Conan stood quietly beside their legs and also felt that Jiang Xia was a little abnormal.
——Just now, Conan was playing with the kids in the park. But when they were playing, it suddenly started to rain again, so the four of them had to go back to their own homes.
On the way home, Conan saw Mao Lilan in the bustling crowd at a glance.
So he took advantage of the fact that he was a child and blended into the shopping group of girls as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Conan looked at Suzuki Sonoko's eyes which gradually bent into a heart shape and felt that she was thinking wrongly.
So he quickly killed his classmate's strange idea in the bud: "Actually, this morning, when we went to the police station together, we happened to see Jiang Xia's attending doctor killing someone in the street. The doctor was then arrested on the spot, so..."
Suzuki Sonoko: “…”
This, this copying difficulty seems a bit high?
"..." Conan saw her strange expression and felt that his train of thought was still out of sync with that of this love-crazy classmate - Jiang Xia agreed to the invitation definitely not because "the doctor was arrested and was in a good mood."
Because Conan felt that the doctor-patient relationship between Jiang Xia and Dr. Fenghu seemed to be quite good.
After all, Jiang Xia usually beat people up, and no one could stop him. But today, the doctor who was beaten just shouted, and Jiang Xia stopped immediately after recognizing him.
In addition, although Jiang Xia seldom goes to the hospital, on the other hand, someone who hates hospitals so much actually took the initiative to get a check-up... Although he didn't finish it and left halfway, it was already very telling.
...In short, Conan has already made a more scientific explanation in his mind as to why Suzuki Sonoko was able to successfully make an appointment with someone.
…
Conan looked up and saw that Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were looking at him. They were very concerned about the case he just mentioned. They asked for details.
Conan briefly explained what had happened.
Then, facing the two audiences, he couldn't help but start the reasoning mode, using the half-baked amateur psychology he learned in Hawaii:
"Before the doctor was arrested, he clearly expressed his dislike for Jiang Xia."
Conan was referring to the desperate roar that Dr. Fudo let out when he was kicked and couldn't get up:
“If Jiang Xia had already established a relatively stable relationship with the doctor during previous treatments, he might be hit hard by this.
"Everyone has the instinct of self-preservation. Now that Jiang Xia's connection with the doctor has been cut off, his subconscious mind may try to establish new connections with other people in order to save himself. It just so happens that you have invited him, and you have invited him many times before. He may have sensed your kindness..."
Conan was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt that there were many loopholes in his words.
Not only did he forget to add "brother" when referring to Jiang Xia, he also accidentally mentioned some of Suzuki Sonoko's past behaviors... This, this won't expose his identity as "Kudo Shinichi"!
Thinking of this, Conan broke out in a cold sweat and felt a little regretful.
But when I looked up carefully, I didn't see Mao Lilan's scrutinizing gaze.
Instead, we saw that Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki had tears in their eyes, and they even took out handkerchiefs to wipe their tears.
Conan: “……?”
