Chapter 143 A Difficult Choice (Character Star Points Increased by 1)

Jiang Xia arrived home earlier than his neighbors and went to bed earlier than his neighbors. Moreover, because the puppet was knocked, he took a stick of ghost mint to replenish his energy. In short, Jiang Xia became the most energetic one the next day.

He brought the invitation letter he drew for the "Sherlock Holmes Journey" and originally wanted to go to the Maori Detective Agency to find Conan.

 But when passing by the doctor's house, Jiang Xia remembered what happened yesterday, turned in and took a look, and saw that Conan was indeed here.

Compared with Jiang Xia, the three people who went home early in the morning looked a little haggard, as if they could fall asleep at any time.

Miyano Akemi poked her head out from behind Jiang Xia, glanced at the living room, skillfully floated to Haibara Ai's head, and happily touched the top of her sister's soft hair.

 …

 Before Jiang Xia arrived, Conan and the others were still discussing what happened last night.

As soon as Jiang Xia arrived, all three people shut their mouths.

In order to help Jiang Xia keep the vest of the organization tight, Haiyuan Ai will not discuss the organization with Jiang Xia when other people are present.

Of course Conan and Dr. Ali would not say that: in their opinion, Jiang Xia should receive some sunny and cheerful information rather than such terrible things as the black organization.

 So, although Conan wanted to drag Jiang Xia to the scene of Bai Cangyang's death yesterday and let Jiang Xia see what was wrong, in the end, he held back.

—Bai Cangyang’s death was too coincidental, and he was probably silenced by the organization. If Jiang Xia really went to the scene and found out the clues, he might become the next target of silence, or lead to the appearance of another child of unknown origin in Dr. Ali's family.

 …

If the neighbors didn't mention those things, Jiang Xia certainly wouldn't take the initiative to talk about them.

He took out the invitation letter for the "Sherlock Holmes Journey" and tried to abduct a fake child with an event physique to go with him.

Conan saw the invitation and became excited: "Did you also win?"

 He was a little happy at first because he had friends going with him.

 But then I thought of something and suddenly felt depressed.

 —The ultimate reward is the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet", only one copy.

 That is, only one person can receive the reward.

And now, Jiangxia is also going...

Conan seemed to have seen the tragic scene of Aishu waving a handkerchief to him and then running towards Jiang Xia's arms.

However, after a while, Conan gradually became more ambiguous - the test of "Sherlock Holmes' Journey" is not to solve the case, but to answer the questions. He may not lose to Jiang Xia. Also, even if he loses... Jiang Xia's house is so close to him. When he visits Jiang Xia's house, he can see his precious book. And the other contestants are also very strong opponents. Compared with letting "A Study in Scarlet" fall into the hands of others, of course it is better for Jiang Xia to hold it...

 …

 Dr. Ali discovered other problems.

He saw the date on the invitation letter and looked at Conan: "But on this day... isn't it scheduled to go treasure hunting in my uncle's villa with the children?"

The Young Detective Team often comes to Dr. Ali’s house to play. Dr. A Li also likes these children very much. Recently, the doctor spent money to buy some toys, hid the toys in his uncle's old villa, and racked his brains to lay out some secret codes, planning to hold a "treasure hunt game."

Conan froze slightly when he remembered that such a thing was indeed the case.

 He ​​was torn between "friendship" and "Sherlock Holmes" for 0.1 seconds, and decisively released a dove of peace: "How about changing the time, or letting Haiyuan join them?"

Dr. Ali looked at Haibara Ai pitifully.

Haiyuan sighed and closed the book in his hand: "Okay."

 …

Beside him, Jiang Xia looked at Conan, then at Huihara Ai, and fell into deep thought.

He did not expect that the troops would be divided into two groups.

 It is already heavy enough to have to choose between ghosts and murderous intent, but now he is asked to do this kind of additional question.

Jiang Xia was in a state of war between heaven and man.

At this time, Haiyuan Ai thought of something and looked at Dr. Ali: "Where is the villa you mentioned? I'll prepare the luggage in advance."

Dr. Ali said happily: "It's on the gentle **** south of Jinqiao Mountain! The scenery there is very good. Don't worry about your luggage, I'm ready."

Jiang Xia listened with open ears: "!"

This place... doesn't seem to be far from the venue of "Sherlock Holmes' Journey". Just on the front and back of a mountain.

This time, he can actually want them all?

 …

 The day came when Sherlock Holmes' journey began.

Jiang Xia arrived at the meeting point given by the organizer on time, and then got into the van provided by the organizer.
