Chapter 64 Neighbors’ Kidnapping
Because the chicken soup was too concentrated, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan were successfully persuaded by Jiang Xia. They were even a little moved and felt that Jiang Xia was comforting them.
Suzuki Sonoko gritted her teeth and secretly decided that she would continue to make appointments with people in the future.
At the same time, she glanced at Mao Lilan and secretly hugged her best friend's arm.
——Xiaolan has always had very good luck, and bad luck will eventually run out. This time must be the last time she encounters a corpse.
I will definitely be able to relax normally in the future!
…
The trip to the villa ended and the group returned to Tokyo.
The next morning, another hidden murder case appeared in Jiangxia's collection of newspaper clippings.
Although Takahashi Ryoichi only carried out a small part of his method, his idea of hiding the truth was very unique. After he was arrested, the case was reported in the newspapers as expected.
As a result, Jiang Xia also became famous in a small circle in Kyoto.
…
Jiang Xia sorted out the clippings book at the detective agency, looked at the time, went back home, and asked the bad guys to pick up the cat.
On the way back to the office with the cat, Jiang Xia received a call.
It turned out to be Yoko Kinoshita calling.
"Long time no see. Are you free recently?" Kinoshita Yoko's voice was as gentle and energetic as ever. "I have a good variety show resource. It's a famous detective variety show, 'Perspective Detective Agency'. If you are interested in this, I can help you connect!"
——A while ago, Yoko Kinoshita passed by a colleague who was reading a newspaper and accidentally saw Jiang Xia’s photo in the newspaper she subscribed.
Since then, Yoko Kinoshita has subscribed to several more newspapers.
Every time there was a report about Jiang Xia solving a case, she would cut out the case and keep it. First, when she saw it, she would remember the way Jiang Xia threw someone at her house, and she felt that it could ward off evil spirits. Second, she felt a sense of satisfaction watching the "delinquent teenagers who were led back to the right path by her" gradually grow up, which is commonly known as the pleasure of cloud cultivation.
After reading many related reports, Kinoshita Yoko keenly discovered that Jiang Xia never avoided interviews. He didn't seem to mind this kind of publicity.
In this detective world, many programs are also related to detectives.
Yoko Kinoshita then asked her agent to help keep an eye out for similar events.
Although the agent had complicated feelings towards Jiang Xia, he did not reject the request of her beloved artist. After searching for a while, he finally found a suitable program.
…
"Perspective Detective Agency?" Jiang Xia felt the name sounded familiar.
Kinoshita Yoko hummed: "It's the show that's broadcast live on Monday afternoon."
In the past, the show had invited some very famous veteran detectives.
Jiang Xia wanted to go, but he was actually not yet mature enough - although he had encountered many strange cases, the overall number of cases he had solved was too few and could not be compared with the hundreds or thousands of cases solved by other detectives.
However, where there are people, there are py.
Yoko Kinoshita has reached an agreement with the producer of "Perspective Detective Agency" - if the producer invites Jiang Xia to be a guest, then she will play the role of an assistant in the current program.
The producer just wanted to add some beauty elements to the show, increase the ratings, and transform the show.
The two sides hit it off immediately and just waited for Jiang Xia to nod.
And Jiang Xia nodded as expected:
"Then I'll trouble you."
He is indeed not opposed to these activities that can increase his popularity.
...Maybe if my popularity increases, I'll get more murder requests.
Unlike now, I can only help the wives find cats and dogs every day.
Although the ladies are beautiful and the cats are nice to touch, they are neither murderous nor evil...
…
After deciding to go, Jiang Xia found some videos of past episodes of "Perspective Detective Agency" in advance and figured out the general flow of the program and possible problems.
After waiting for a while, it was finally time for the show to be broadcast.
The live broadcast time is in the afternoon, so you must arrive at least one hour in advance.
On the day of the show, it happened to be winter, and Jiang Xia was forced to throw the clothes he had already put together back into the closet and re-select clothes suitable for winter.
While choosing a scarf, Xiaobai was lying on the windowsill, leaning against the glass and looking outside, and suddenly made a sound of wanting to watch the fun.
Jiang Xia heard the noise, walked closer curiously, opened the curtains a little, and looked outside.
On the street a few dozen meters away, Conan, wearing a thin home pajamas, braving the cold wind and heavy snow, poked his head out from the corner of the street, looking over here furtively.
…
In the biting cold wind, Conan looked at Dr. Agasa's house, then at Jiang Xia's house, seeming to be hesitating.
At this time, Jiang Xia saw a fat woman from afar, approaching Conan quietly from behind.
The fat woman was dressed in black, had funny short hair, and wore weird glasses on her nose. Her whole body seemed to say "I am a suspicious villain" in bold letters.
What she did was also very villainous.
——The woman took out a handkerchief soaked with anesthetic, covered Conan's face with it from behind, numbing him neatly, then picked him up and left happily.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Miyano Akemi's cute soul let out a whimper and hugged Jiang Xia's fingers on the windowsill, feeling a little anxious - a child was kidnapped so close to them, and that child had helped her before.
Xiaobai was calm, but when he looked at the black-clad woman's walking posture, he felt vaguely familiar with it, so he also held Jiang Xia's other finger, wanting to confirm with him.
"It's okay." Jiang Xia closed the curtains, returned to the closet, and continued her task of choosing a scarf, without paying any attention to Kudo who had just been captured.
It's just a little fun inside the neighbor's house...
If I remember correctly, the person who just kidnapped Conan was not a suspicious villain.
But it’s Conan’s mother - Kudo Yukiko.
