Chapter 1428 1436 [Let me see the doctor] Ask for a monthly ticket (づど)
Conan changed the subject: "You also won the lottery ticket?" He paused, and suddenly felt something was wrong, "Wait, uncle won the prize by buying beer... You also went to buy beer?"
Maori Kogoro knocked him on the head and said, "How is it possible? Jiang Xia is so famous. If he goes out, everyone will know that he is a 'high school student' detective. Knowing the age of the other party, he still sold cigarettes and alcohol to people under 20 years old... Haha, unless the store owner doesn't want to do it anymore."
Jiang Xia: “…”Shouldn’t the focus of a high school student detective be the “detective”? Why did you focus on the “high school student”?
However, he still agreed with the conclusion drawn from this and nodded: "That's right, of course I didn't buy beer. How could I do something that violates the rules."
As he spoke, he naturally moved to the table where Maori Kogoro and Conan were, and successfully mixed into the team of real detectives: "Actually, I received a commission, and the client asked to meet in this store to discuss in detail, so I came to take a look."
Conan was startled, his eyes lit up: "Commission?"
Kogoro Mouri: "..." I wonder if we are going to encounter another case. I knew it must be this Jiang Xia kid's problem.
As he was speaking, the sound of wind chimes rang out at the store door, and someone else came.
The person who came in this time was a brown-haired young man wearing glasses. He looked gentle and like a good person.
Jiang Xia's seat at this time was facing the door.
The man glanced around, his eyes fell on his face, and he quickly approached with a little excitement: "Hello, I'm Kanda who sent the letter of commission before. I didn't expect to really hire a famous detective like you..."
Halfway through his words, his face changed slightly and he turned his head and started coughing.
Kogoro Mouri vaguely understood something and put out the cigarette in his hand.
Dr. Kanda smiled at him apologetically: "Sorry, I'm a little sensitive to the smell of smoke."
Jiang Xia moved inward to make some space for this customer.
The waiter came quickly and brought the menu.
But Dr. Kanda obviously had no appetite and just ordered a cup of hot coffee.
Then he looked at Maori Kogoro and Conan with a little surprise: "Who are these two..."
He didn't expect that Jiang Xia would bring other people with him when he came to take the job, and among them was a first-grade child.
"He's my neighbor. I met him by chance when I came to the store." Jiang Xia gave a brief explanation, but he didn't seem to have any intention of chasing the two irrelevant people away, or leaving with Dr. Kanda and setting up a separate table.
When Conan saw this scene, he remembered what he had just expressed, "wanting to follow Jiang Xia to get the commission", and was a little moved: Jiang Xia is such a dedicated person, and he actually kept him under the client's sight just because he wanted to participate in the commission... That's really thoughtful of him.
Fortunately, Dr. Kanda seemed to be a very easy-going person and didn't seem to care about these things.
He checked his watch and said simply as if in a hurry: “As I said before, the person threatened by an unknown person is my colleague at Capital Medical University, Dr. Yoshimura.
"Recently, the harassment from those people has intensified. He had to take a few days off and stay indoors every day. But even so, there are still some threatening phone calls and letters coming to his house. Occasionally when he goes out, he always feels that someone is following him. He said he is almost going crazy.
"I have known Yoshimura for a long time and we have always had a good relationship. Seeing him become more and more haggard day by day, I feel very sad, so I would like to ask you to help me find those who threaten him. With a clear goal, I will know how to deal with these things next."
…
Maori Kogoro usually doesn't interfere with the work of his peers. However, Jiang Xia happened to be his daughter's classmate, and he watched her grow up, so he sometimes forgot that Jiang Xia was actually a "peer".
What's more, now Jiang Xia not only doesn't mind his interference in the commission, but seems to welcome it.
Kogoro Mori no longer worried about it.
After listening to the client, he casually said, "From what you said, Mr. Yoshimura seems to be a doctor. How good is his medical skills? Doctors usually come into contact with many patients and often encounter life and death matters. Maybe after a failed treatment, the patient or family member he was responsible for held a grudge against him."
"Patients?" Kanda Jōji lowered his eyes in thought, as if he had been inspired by something. "So, although his medical skills are good, the patients he treats are often quite special. In particular, some of them are not in good mental condition, so they inevitably do things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand."
Jiang Xia seemed to be thinking about something. "In that case, let's go ask him about the situation first. He is the only one who knows his own patients best."
After a pause, he remembered what Dr. Kanda had said just now that Dr. Yoshimura was afraid to go out, so he added considerately: "If it is inconvenient for him to come out, we can take the initiative to visit him."
Seeing that they had discussed the follow-up in a few words and looked like they were about to get up and look for the person being threatened, Kogoro Mouri was slightly stunned.
Then he waved his hand and said decisively: "I won't compete with the younger generation for business, you guys go ahead - come to me if you have any problems that you can't solve."
The food he had just ordered was served, steaming hot, making his mouth water. Currently, this commission was only in the visiting stage, and it sounded like there was no danger that required him to take action. He just wanted to eat quietly now...
Doctor Kanda nodded, looked at Jiang Xia, and took out his cell phone: "In that case, wait a moment, I'll tell him first - if he thinks we are some criminals who came to his door and hides behind the door to attack us, things will be troublesome."
As he said this, he stood up and without disturbing the diners nearby, went to a less crowded place to make a phone call.
Soon, Kanda Joji returned to the table: "Okay, let's go. He happens to be at home now."
Jiang Xia stood up and Conan immediately jumped up and followed.
Maori Kogoro looked at him in surprise: "Not eating anymore?"
"..." Conan looked at the steaming pork chop rice on the table. His stomach growled, but he said calmly, "I'm not hungry."
——Compared to the meal and the case, of course I would choose the case. This is the awareness that all high school detectives should have! Just like Jiang Xia...
As he was thinking about it, he looked up and found that Jiang Xia had a bag of assorted meat rolls in his hand and was chewing them while walking.
"......?" Conan followed him out of the store and couldn't help asking, "Where did you get it?"
Jiang Xia gave him a look that said, "You're asking questions even though you already know the answer." "Of course it's what I ordered just now."
An evening breeze blew by, and the fragrance in the bag drifted out.
Conan: "...Ahem, is it delicious?"
