Chapter 12171217【Murder of Mao Lilan】

"Mr. Tanaka! Have you seen the photon?" The woman with a high ponytail broke into sweat and asked the doctor, "We made an appointment to meet tonight, but she never came, and I couldn't find anyone at her house."

 Dr. Tanaka is a local.

　Today during the day, he went to attend a meeting of the doctors union. A group of doctors will appear here tonight precisely because Tanaka Katsuyoshi sent out an invitation—the beaches in this area are indeed beautiful. With the intention of coming, several doctors who have ample time have been invited.

Unexpectedly, while I was drinking wine, a strange woman suddenly ran out.

 A group of doctors paused their conversation and watched silently.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Tanaka couldn't help but become irritated: "How do I know! I have nothing to do with her for a long time. If you come to bother me when you have time, you might as well go and look for her in her usual places."

“…” The woman with the high ponytail gritted her teeth and glared at him, turned around and left without saying anything else.

"This guy can really quarrel with anyone." Ling Muyuanzi muttered, no longer paying attention to the people at the table, and pulled Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan to sit down near the counter, "Boss, what's special about your place?" What’s the dish? How many portions will you have?”

 …

Although Jiang Xia and the others arrived late, they were just eating, which was much more efficient than the group of uncles next to them who were drinking and chatting.

 At nearly eleven o'clock, several high school students checked out and left.

While passing by the doctor's table, Dr. Neihai's cell phone slipped out for some reason and fell to Jiang Xia's feet.

Jiang Xia picked it up and handed it back to him.

“Thank you.” Dr. Utsumi smiled politely, took the phone, and looked down at the screen.

His phone was locked. Of course, the screen was still locked at this time, and Jiang Xia just picked it up. In just one or two seconds, there was no way he could do anything.

 Doctor Utsumi didn't think too much and stuffed the phone into his pocket.

 After hesitating for a moment, he took out his cell phone again, touched the depths of his pocket again, and found that nothing else was stuffed inside.

 Doctor Utsumi: "..." Could it be that the phone accidentally slipped out because the pocket was shallow? These pants are no longer good. I'll change them when I go back...

 He turned his head and started chatting with several colleagues again, talking about various "news" and "rumors".

Dr. Okano stabbed him in the back just now, which made Dr. Utsumi reflect seriously.

Then he realized that if he wanted to hide himself, it would be better to hide in the woods - to be a person who originally liked to tell all kinds of weird stories and tell gossip. In this way, even if something happens again, it won't appear deliberate.

This is just the beginning, and it is inevitable that his methods will have some shortcomings. When he becomes a formal member of the organization in the future, he still has a long way to go.

Dr. Utsumi thought of his upcoming promotion, looked at the doctors in front of him, raised his glass, and blocked the sneer on his lips.

 …

On the other side, Jiang Xia reluctantly left the doctor’s office and returned to the hotel with several classmates.

 After entering the room, he counted the newly received business cards again, and piled up the murderous ones he had picked up before, and then fell asleep peacefully.

 …

 Early the next morning, on the beach.

Suzuki Sonoko lazily held the floating board and floated back and forth in the sea, feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow.

 Happily, Jiang Xia and Xiao Lan did as she wished. They praised her new swimsuit and her good taste.

What worries me is...

Jiangxia did not go into the water as expected. He didn't even change into a swimsuit, he just wore a set of slightly cooler clothes. He lay on the beach chair under the umbrella and blew in the sea breeze. Occasionally, he turned his head and looked at the surrounding area with appreciative eyes. beach.

The lazy attitude of refusing to get into the water when he gets to the beach, at first glance, looks like a shameless boy who comes to the beach specifically to admire the white body.

 But Suzuki Sonoko knew that he was not - because there were indeed very few people on this beach, so few that apart from her and Xiaolan, there was no third woman at all. Compared with them, Jiang Xia visited the group of doctors in the distance more times.

 Suzuki Sonoko: “…#”What’s so interesting about the doctor! Isn't it more worthy of admiration than a beautiful girl like her who is as beautiful as a flower, cute and lively? Humph!

 …But now that she is soaking in the sea, she really can’t see anything but her head.

 …Yes, that must be the reason.

Suzuki Sonoko splashed in the water sadly.

 …

 On the shore.

Jiang Xia actually didn’t mind going into the water for a swim, but then he thought about it. He had to change into a swimsuit when he went into the sea, and there was a fancy “Z” pattern on his heart that symbolized “anonymity.”

Although unlike ghosts, his seals can be put away.

 But if you want to put it away completely, you need to put all the ghosts and shikigami back into the space first.

This is obviously very inconvenient for psychics, because then they can't always have ghosts pick up their shoulders to eavesdrop, peep, or use other people's bodies as trackers... The life is not unbearable, but it always feels a little missing. Share the fun.

Unlike now, with the mermaid in his left hand and Noah in his right hand, the two ghosts were as cold as holding two iced watermelons, cooler than the sea breeze.

Jiang Xia: "..." By the way, speaking of this, idle time is idle, so why not buy some watermelon to eat.

Thinking of this, he left the two ghosts behind and sat up, went to the fruit stall, shopped around, and brought back the most round and beautiful melon, which had just been chilled.

 …

 Back at the beach, I was about to ask my Maori classmates to perform a melon opening with bare hands.

 Looking carefully, Jiang Xia was slightly startled and found that there was something extra in the sea.

 “Jiangxia!”

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan waved to him from afar. There was actually a rubber raft in front of them, and the two of them were hesitantly stepping on the air pump to inflate it.

—Suzuki Sonoko just floated in the sea for a while and felt that it would be too boring to continue like this, so she decided to find a way to let Jiang Xia appreciate the beauty of the sea.

 She went to the equipment store nearby and bought a rubber raft. Since Jiang Xia didn't want to swim, he could actually take a dip in the sea in another way.

 …

With Jiang Xia’s help, the rubber raft was quickly filled with air. Four people...three...Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan each picked up the rubber raft and threw it from the beach into the sea.

Several people put on life jackets, pushed the boat deeper, climbed into the boat, picked up oars and paddled farther away.

 When they reached a distance where they would not be washed ashore by the waves at any time, they broke the watermelon open and each person got a piece.

Mao Lilan took a few bites of the watermelon and leaned against the edge of the boat comfortably, obviously enjoying the trip: "Comfortable."

Conan was too embarrassed to just sit there. He had just helped paddle a few times, but now he was panting from exhaustion.

While gnawing on the watermelon, he turned to look at the sea and found that someone was racing a speedboat nearby. He couldn't help but look envious: "That kind of boat is better. It's fast and doesn't require rowing. We should have rented a speedboat just now."
