Chapter 1034 1034【You also want to go to the building opposite】

Jiang Xia looked at the back of Huiyuan Ai in the hole for a while.

After she disappeared, she glanced at the courtyard wall again: "..."

According to the frequency with which this wall is bombed, it would be better to just cut a door out of it... But then I thought about it, the position of the hole that is blown out is different every time. If we really want to make mistakes, I'm afraid the entire wall will change. It has to be full of potholes.

“…” Forget it, let’s let Dr. Ali work harder and make repairs frequently—maybe while repairing the wall and chatting, the doctor will talk about some interesting old friend, and then take him to visit...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at the hole in the wall and suddenly felt much more pleasing to the eye.

He thought expectantly about the future of visiting relatives and friends, then came back to his senses, found his motorcycle, and prepared to go to the detective agency.

 …

However, before arriving at the place.

When passing by the street near the Maori Detective Agency, Jiang Xia stared blankly.

 —There is an acquaintance at the street corner ahead.

Suzuki Sonoko had just gotten out of the subway and was waiting for the red light.

Hearing the sound of the motor, she turned around and saw Jiang Xia. She waved happily and ran over: "Good morning!"

"Good morning." Jiang Xia opened his helmet cover and responded. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Suzuki Sonoko was really saying hello, or whether his thoughts did not match his words.

However, he soon discovered that it should be the former.

— Suzuki Sonoko has obviously had a phone call with Mao Lilan and has some understanding of the effect of the "User Confidentiality Clause".

 She was not a serious person to begin with, so she did not make any random attempts. She quickly pulled Jiang Xia and went straight to the Maori Detective Agency diagonally ahead.

 …

Jiang Xia thought of the client she had made an appointment with, and originally wanted to refuse.

 But he looked up at the three-story building that contained Conan, Mouri Kogoro, Mouri Ran, and Suzuki Sonoko. He was silent for a moment, and finally joined the team silently.

Jiang Xia: "..." Thinking about it carefully, when normal people encounter that kind of fatal "game", they should put their work aside first and discuss the situation.

 As for customers…

There are actually many other detectives on that street. Although the boss is unreliable and absent all year round, there are still some dedicated people.

Jiang Xia sent a message to Gunda Yumi and asked her to help receive it.

Then he threw down his cell phone and followed Suzuki Sonoko upstairs, occasionally glancing behind him to see if any murderous clients came to Moori Kogoro to place a commission.

 …

 The second floor of the office.

Mouri Kogoro was dozing off in the room, Conan had gone somewhere, and Mouri Lan was the only one in the hall.

 She was standing next to the phone, whispering something.

Hearing someone entering the house, Mao Lilan hung up the phone and turned around. Seeing Jiang Xia and Suzuki Yuanzi, she sighed: "Shinichi..."

 She didn't say the rest of the words, she just shook her head.

The two classmates quickly understood what she meant: Kudo Shinichi couldn't tell anything about the "game" - the anonymous "hypnosis technology" seemed to be terrifyingly advanced and did not affect their memory, but it could actually interfere with them. expression.   …

Three people sat sadly in front of the sofa, drinking tea and eating snacks, trying to break through the restrictions of the "user confidentiality clause" by "inadvertently blurting out", "hinting" and other methods.

 But after trying it for a while, it didn’t work.

 At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door.

Jiang Xia looked at the door and saw Conan sneaking in.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Yuanzi followed Jiang Xia's gaze and saw Conan entering the door. After being startled, they all stopped talking.

—In the "game" last night, Conan used the appearance of "Kudo Shinichi". Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan didn't know that the "kid" in front of them had been involved in the game. So I didn’t continue to try related topics.

They are worried that if they succeed in telling Conan something about the "game", Conan will be dragged into it because he "knows too much"... It is better not to let children get into such a terrible script.

 …

The three people then turned to chatting about other things.

Suzuki Sonoko remembered something and smiled and walked next to Mao Lilan: "Xiaolan, do you know Yoshitomo Uemori?"

Jiang Xia heard them suddenly chatting about someone else, and her body unconsciously turned a little in the direction of the two of them, listening intently.

"Michi Uemori? Is he the chef who is good at French cuisine?" Mao Lilan does know this person. The family usually relies on her to cook, and she is very interested in cooking. When chasing stars, she also included "celebrity chefs" in the scope. "I even bought her new cooking book."

Hearing Mao Lilan's yearning tone, Suzuki Sonoko immediately smiled and secretly made some calculations:

"A while ago, Michi Kamimori opened a cooking training class, and I signed up. The next class is the night after tomorrow, but I happen to have something to do that day... Why don't you go to the class for me and then come back to teach me? What did you learn that day?”

—It’s true that I have something to do the night after tomorrow, and it’s also true that I don’t want to go to class.

Suzuki Sonoko thought of Uemori Yoshitomo's bad temper and sighed inwardly.

Beside him, Mao Lilan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect to have such an opportunity to get up close and personal with a famous chef.

Seeing her heart move, Suzuki Sonoko explained in detail: "The class time is from 6:30 to 9:30 in the evening. The location is not far from the Twin Buildings in Nishitama City where I went yesterday - it is in the high-rise building opposite it. It can be done during class Enjoy the scenery, the night view is great.”

 After saying that, looking at Mao Lilan's increasingly yearning look, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but feel a little pain in her conscience.

She cleared her throat and added calmly:

"However, there is one thing that is a little bit bad - Teacher Uemori's actual personality is different from the kind appearance she usually shows in public. Her temper... is just... um..."

 A voice floated from the side, summing it up for her: "Very fierce?"

"It's not fierce." Suzuki Sonoko pointed a finger at her chin, thinking about the words, "Very strict, a bit eccentric, and picky... But Xiaolan is already good at cooking, and this is the first time we meet, so she shouldn't be difficult. .”

 After speaking, Suzuki Sonoko was slightly startled.

She suddenly realized that the person who answered the call was not Mao Lilan, but Jiang Xia.

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly looked at Jiang Xia, a little surprised: Jiang Xia is also interested in French cuisine?

“…” By the way, Jiang Xia lives alone and probably has to cook by herself... Hey, I have to find a chance to have a meal and try Jiang Xia’s cooking... Suzuki Sonoko’s eyes flashed with anticipation.

Just as he was thinking secretly, a discordant voice broke in from beside him.

 “Nishitama City, classes don’t end until 9:30 in the evening?”

　　Mori Kogoro didn’t know when he woke up.

He listened for a while and eavesdropped on the young man's conversation. When he saw Mao Lilan looking like he wanted to go, he interrupted: "No! It's too late, and it's too far away. It's not safe!"
