Chapter 731: Weak Mao Lilan
Jiang Xia stood outside the courtyard, listening to the ghosts discussing the distribution of murderous aura in the house. He felt that this trip was worthwhile.
Although they were all ordinary murderous aura without any special flavor, Jiang Xia did not dislike them - high-end murderous aura was good, but there were probably only a few people who could produce it stably, and it would take a long time before they could be seen again.
Now that he has more and more ghosts, there are more and more occasions where he needs to consume his killing energy. It is necessary to reserve basic food.
After waiting for a while and giving enough time the excuse of "I took the child out to play, but the child disappeared in a blink of an eye. I looked for him for a while but couldn't find him, so I had to come over to ask if he had sneaked into your yard."
Jiang Xia walked to the quaint courtyard gate and prepared to ring the doorbell.
But just as he raised his hand, he saw through the fence gate a few people coming out from behind the bushes leading to this place.
——The leader was a noble lady in kimono. Behind her were the dressed-up Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.
"Jiang Xia?" Mao Lilan was holding Conan in her hand, and Suzuki Sonoko was beside her. When she saw him, she was surprised but also a little happy. She raised her hand and greeted him, "Why are you here too?"
Suzuki Sonoko held Mouri Ran's arm, half of her body hidden behind her, and also waved over here.
She looked at Jiang Xia, then at the handsome male college student behind her, and felt a little guilty: she felt like a fish pond owner who saw two fish that had been carefully separated suddenly meet each other... But as long as the fish is good-looking, it will make people feel good whenever it appears... No, Jiang Xia is not a fish, he is a friend, he just looks a little bit good that makes people want to put him in their own fish pond...
Suzuki Sonoko knocked her head with her knuckles to get rid of the messy thoughts, then cleared her throat to make herself look more normal.
Next to her, Mrs. Minagawa, who was dressed in a kimono, looked at Jiang Xia and smiled tolerantly, not caring about the stranger's behavior of letting the child sneak into their yard.
She greeted gently, "Are you Sonoko and Xiaolan's friends? Come in together. A party is more lively when there are more people."
…
On the way to the room, Jiang Xia lowered his head and glanced at Conan who was walking quietly beside him.
"…I didn't change the plan on purpose." Conan felt like a bad teammate. He lowered his voice, feeling a little guilty. "I was just a little bored while waiting in the yard, so I couldn't help but wander around to kill time. As a result, I accidentally came to the back of the house and was seen by them."
Jiang Xia: "..." Is this "accidental" true? I always feel that Kudo couldn't help but run straight to the place where the social gathering was, and then because he was not good at hiding, he was caught in the act.
Conan didn't need to answer, Jiang Xia answered it himself. "No intention" was probably fake. But the murderous intent was definitely real.
He didn't care about the flaws in his plan and followed the hostess into the hall. He took a look inside and his expression became calmer.
…
Except for a few high school students and the organizer's family, the others who attended the party were all students from the neighborhood. Three boys and two girls.
Including everyone present, there are eleven people in total... No wonder there is so much murderous intent.
"Look, that one over there."
Conan nudged Jiang Xia with his arm and whispered to him to look at the muscular man named Wakamatsu Toshihide, who was actually not handsome at all and whose eyes were always fixed on Mouri Ran.
Jiang Xia took a look and his eyes couldn't help but drift to the side - there was an ordinary-looking man with glasses, who was smoking and sitting at the very edge.
At the same time, the handsome guy across from him was half drunk and was pointing at the glasses man's nose and shouting, "Zhidao, come on with a show to liven up the atmosphere. You're only good at being funny."
The provocative handsome guy is called Katsuhiko Minagawa, he is the organizer of this party and this is his home.
Normally he just looks a little aloof, but when he gets drunk, his personality becomes irritable.
Suzuki Sonoko, the picky owner of the fish pond, watched for a moment, then quietly moved a little closer to Jiang Xia, and then a little further, and sat down to drink tea. At the same time, he sighed silently in his heart. Is his vision of people really as bad as his friends joked? Fortunately, Jiang Xia is a normal person...
Mao Lilan also looked at the drunken Katsuhiko Minagawa and felt a little embarrassed.
But the others seemed to be accustomed to this situation. They ignored him skillfully and went about their own business.
Wakamatsu Toshihide "inadvertently" showed off his strong biceps, and approached Mao Li Ran with a chuckle. He talked to Conan under his cold eyes. He rubbed his hands and said, "Ms. Xiaolan is so beautiful. What are your hobbies? I guess you like flower arrangement or tea ceremony."
Mao Lilan instinctively leaned to the other side, smiled politely, and said softly: "I don't know any of those. I'm better at karate."
"Haha, you little rascal who loves to lie." Wakamatsu Toshihide laughed heartily and waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's a pity that you can't deceive me - how could such a cute little beauty like you do such a barbaric thing."
There was a slight cracking sound.
"..." Jiang Xia, who was trying to find murderous intent from Conan, was startled. He turned around and found that although Mao Li Ran was still smiling, a blue vein had already appeared on the back of her beautiful white hand, and the porcelain cup in her hand had cracked at some point, and fine drops of water seeped out along the lines.
It's just that Wakamatsu Toshihide has a large lung capacity, and his laughter is as loud as thunder, so the slight noise was well covered up. Even Mouri Ran herself might not have noticed it, let alone Wakamatsu Toshihide.
She continued to smile gently: "It's true. I like karate the most, and I don't think it's barbaric."
While eating dessert in Jiangxia, I looked around from time to time, trying to find something from Conan or Mao Li Ran.
…
Suzuki Sonoko walked into the corridor with a piece of chocolate in her hand, looking conflicted.
——What attracted her to this social gathering was, of course, the handsome and cool medical student, Katsuhiko Minagawa. And there were three boys scheduled to come to this social gathering, two of whom were weird-looking.
So when she made chocolate, she purposefully put the letters "MINAGAWA" on it, which is the romanization of "皆川".
But now...
Although Minagawa Katsuhiko's image was somewhat shattered, Suzuki Sonoko felt it would be a waste to throw away the handmade chocolates since they were already made. So she strolled out to watch after Minagawa Katsuhiko left the hall.
Before she could finish her struggle, she heard a voice coming from the corner.
Suzuki Sonoko's ears twitched, and her curiosity got aroused, so she moved closer to eavesdrop.
I found two people talking in the corridor, one was Katsuhiko Minagawa, and the other was his female classmate, Kaori Sekiya, who had a buzz cut and looked like a tomboy.
These two people seem to be childhood sweethearts.
