Chapter 66: The Halo is so Horrible, Please give me a monthly ticket O(∩_∩)O
Kudo Yukiko quickly chased after him and grabbed Jiang Xia who was leaving.
Jiang Xia turned around and looked at her silently.
Kudo Yukiko met his gaze, her eyes drifted away guiltily, and she explained in a low voice: "Well, ahem, there were too many people here just now, and I was afraid of being recognized and causing a commotion..." She changed the subject, "Come to think of it, why did you go out in such a cold day? Did you receive any commission? I heard from the doctor that you are working as a part-time detective recently?"
…Good question.
Jiang Xia shook his head: "I am going to participate in a variety show. The salary is good. I heard that if the effect is good, there is a chance to become a long-term guest."
"Is that so..." Kudo Yukiko was stunned.
She thought about Jiang Xia's words: It sounds like Jiang Xia really likes the salary of this show and is willing to become a long-term guest.
... Come to think of it, Jiang Xia's taciturn, unsociable, and seemingly irresponsible parents are gone. So at this age when her son is still using his pocket money to rebel and have secret crushes, Jiang Xia has already stepped into society like an adult and supported himself.
Although I heard from Dr. Agasa that Jiang Xia has now become a well-known detective.
But if you think about it carefully, the cases that Jiang Xia solved were basically accidental homicides, and no one could afford the commission.
Being a long-term guest on a variety show, compared to working part-time, the income is undoubtedly much higher and more stable...
…
Thinking of this, Kudo Yukiko took a look at Jiang Xia and felt that he had the right appearance and should have strong professional qualities.
If she could get guidance from a kind-hearted professional - yes, like her, Yukiko Kudo - getting the job would be a piece of cake.
Yukiko Kudo looked at Jiang Xia with a burning love in her heart. At the same time, she also felt a sense of accomplishment that she was about to shine in her professional field.
She slapped her chest and said, "Leave it to me!"
"...Hmm?" Jiang Xia was a little surprised.
Although he had long known that Kudo Yukiko had a lively personality and would occasionally act impulsively, he really didn't expect that she would kidnap her so quickly.
There are obviously many follow-up remarks that have not been used yet... Is my aura a little too strong?
Jiang Xia lowered his head and secretly looked at himself.
But unfortunately, even for psychics, aura is considered metaphysics, invisible to the naked eye and cannot be quantified. However, as far as Jiang Xia knows, everyone's aura has specific properties and will have a greater impact on a certain type of people.
...Now it seems that Kudo Yukiko is just one of those "certain types of people".
…
While Jiang Xia was thinking, Kudo Yukiko stood beside him. She liked Jiang Xia more and more and felt that she had made the right decision - how could she, a child who grew up under the care of an international film queen, be frustrated on a mere variety show!
I have to pass on some experience to Jiang Xia... Yeah, by the way, it would be better to go to the scene again and support the occasion.
When a child appears on a show for the first time, parents usually sit in the audience to witness this historic moment. Now that Jiang Xia’s parents are gone, she will make a guest appearance as a guest star—what other children have, Jiang Xia must have too.
Kudo Yukiko kindly straightened Jiang Xia's wrinkled sleeves and asked, "Which TV station is it?"
Jiang Xia didn't follow her pace, and paused before saying, "The variety show called 'Perspective Detective Agency' on Nichiren TV."
"That, I've heard of it." Kudo Yukiko sorted out the key points of similar programs in her mind, pulled Jiang Xia and walked towards the subway entrance not far away, while starting to make up for the missed lessons.
When she got off the station and saw the subway roaring towards her, Yukiko Kudo vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.
While she was trying hard to recall, her eyes accidentally caught sight of Jiang Xia, and her train of thought suddenly diverted.
——By the way, Jiang Xia is different from her, she is a complete newcomer. So when explaining the key points, she has to adapt to the newcomer's perspective... Yeah, that's right, this must be what she almost forgot.
…
One hour later.
In an empty house a few hundred meters away from the subway station.
After the effect of the anesthetic wore off, Conan lay on the cold floor and gradually woke up.
He looked at the dilapidated kitchen where he was, then looked at the circles of hemp ropes that tied him tightly, and was stunned for a moment.
After a moment, Conan recalled what happened before - a woman in black who called herself "Edogawa Fumiyo" came to the Mori Detective Agency and forcibly took him away. On the way, Conan cleverly escaped, but was unfortunately knocked down from behind by the sinister woman in black.
Thinking of this, he was startled and sat up suddenly.
Conan was observing his surroundings vigilantly when he suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the living room.
He walked gently to the closed door and looked outside through the hole in the door.
I saw a man in black clothes and a smiley mask wandering around in the living room.
Conan thought for a moment and calmly judged: a person dressed in black...
Well, this person is probably the same as that "Edogawa Fumiyo", and was also sent by the Black Organization to capture him.
…
After observing for a while, Conan was surprised to find out.
In the living room, the man in black behaved very strangely, as if he was looking for something.
The man walked from the living room to the balcony, then searched the bathroom, the master bedroom, the side bedroom... Finally, he returned to the living room with nothing, took out his cell phone and made a call.
Seeing this, Conan seemed to understand.
——The one who kidnapped him, Edogawa Fumiyo, was not in the room. Could it be that the man in black was looking for an accomplice?
