Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 158: Little detective comes to play

Chapter 158 The little detective is here to play

After hearing this, Jiang Xia was a little embarrassed: "It's hard to refuse a customer's invitation."

Suzuki Sonoko looked sad.

 …but she thought that being enterprising was a good thing anyway.

The worst case scenario is that I should follow him and watch, to prevent Reika Yotsui from using her identity as an employer to bully Jiang Xia and make any shameless and excessive demands.

Jiang Xia secretly observed Suzuki Sonoko and felt that she suddenly became very motivated.

Although the script was completely different from what he expected, and he always felt there was something strange about it...but forget it, just have someone to go with.

 …

 It’s the day of Reika Shijing’s birthday party.

Jiang Xia came to the door of the detective agency and saw the car sent by the Sijing family.

Jiang Xia was not surprised by this: in the specially made invitation, it was written that a car would be sent to pick him up.

But what Jiang Xia didn't expect was that Reika Shijing herself was sitting in the car.

She sat in the back row, raised her chin and nodded at the seat next to her, signaling Jiang Xia to sit here.

Jiang Xia opened the car door with a click.

Before I could sit down, three people suddenly appeared next to me.

Suzuki Sonoko, who had been squatting for a long time, jumped to the car with Conan in his arms and Mao Lilan with him. He got in the car ahead of Jiang Xia and sat next to Shijing Reika.

Suzuki Sonoko took out an invitation letter and waved it with pride written all over her face: "Thank you for the invitation—you don't mind if I ride with you."

Of course her family also received an invitation letter, but she had no intention of going before.

However, after finding out that Jiang Xia would go to the appointment, Suzuki Sonoko changed her mind.

 …

Beside him, Mao Lilan smiled sheepishly and followed in the back seat. Suddenly only the passenger seat was empty.

Reika Yotsui watched helplessly as Jiang Xia sat in the front row, her eyes twitching.

She turned her head and glanced at Suzuki Sonoko who had intervened abruptly, and her anger level began to soar - it was a good plan to add to the fun, but who would have thought that something like this would come out halfway.

But no matter how angry she felt, Yotsui Reika was already an adult wearing a mask of hypocrisy, and she could clearly distinguish the importance of things. Her violent temper is only vented on those whose status is inferior to hers.

Now, if she were to confront the daughter of the chairman of the Suzuki Consortium...

In the end, Reika Yotsui could only angrily say goodbye, and comforted herself in her heart: Forget it, she is a little girl in high school, why bother with her.

She looked at the driver and said in a bad tone: "Why aren't you leaving?"

The driver responded hurriedly and started to leave.

Beside him, Suzuki Sonoko secretly gestured a "V" of victory to Mori Ran, and at the same time poked Conan, trying to persuade the naughty child to cause trouble for Yotsui Reika.

Conan pretended not to notice. He sat quietly and adjusted his earmuffs.

 …

 In the evening, the banquet began.

Jiang Xia came prepared this time and brought a lot of business cards. He walked around the crowd and brought back more business cards.

 Jiang Xia's mood keeps getting +1+1+1, so carefully put away these ghost-picking spare cards.

In the middle of the banquet hall, a large circle of people gathered around Reika Yotsui, all of whom were young talents. Reika Yotsui suddenly said just now that she held this banquet not only to celebrate her birthday, but more importantly, to "find a suitable husband." Jun". Most people who came to the party knew that Reika Mitsui was impatient to manage the company and did not have the talent. In other words, whoever marries her is equivalent to marrying the entire Sijing Group. So a group of people are extraordinarily attentive.

 …

  Si Jing Reika held a glass of red wine and looked proudly at the men surrounding her. After that, her eyes passed through the crowd and landed on Jiang Xia, who was counting business cards not far away.

Just after looking at it for two seconds, two female high school students with children suddenly appeared in her field of vision. These three people stood impartially between Jiang Xia and Yotsui Reika, blocking most of her sight.

Sijing Reika snorted and looked away indifferently.

To be fair, she still prefers Jiang Xia's type to the "young talents" next to her who have obvious goals and are too serious.

If possible, I really want to kidnap Jiang Xia and marry her...but unfortunately, even Chairman Sijing doesn't know that her marriage has been decided long ago.

Thinking of this incident, Reika Yotsui's face gradually darkened.

Her expression changed very obviously, but the circle of "young talents" who were closest to Reika Yotsui and could clearly see her expression were actually her acquaintances. They had long been accustomed to the eldest lady's unpredictable temper, so they didn't pay much attention to it and continued to promote themselves enthusiastically.

 …

 The banquet came to an end soon, and the guests returned home happily.

The guests left one after another, and Reika Yotsui also planned to leave.

But at this moment, the driver hurriedly ran in: "Miss! Your tire was punctured!"

 A group of young talents: “!”

They immediately rushed over and said, "Take my car back!"

But before he finished speaking, the driver said cautiously: "Your car also got a puncture."

 Young talents: “…”

Chairman Mitsui sighed: "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. Why don't you go back in a carpool with other guests."

Shijing Reika was already in a bad mood. When she heard this, she was furious: "It's my birthday and you want me to share a car with other people in a shabby way? I won't! I'll stay here with Granny Mi for one night first. You Send a car to pick me up tomorrow morning."

   …”

 Chairman Si Jing could not resist her and agreed to this request.

The other young talents whose cars broke down heard this and their eyes lit up: "You are the only one here. It is too unsafe. I will stay with you!"

 “I’ll stay too!”

"And I!"

  Sijing Reika was surrounded by them in the center and entered the villa, as proud as a princess.

   …”

In the yard, Suzuki Sonoko looked at the group of people silently and murmured in a low voice: "The dog licks until the end, and there is nothing left."

As she said this, she planned to dial her driver and ask them to pick her up.

But this villa is located in a remote location and has no signal.

Suzuki Sonoko could only put down her phone, sighed, and looked at her friends: "Let's go, let's go find her and borrow her landline."
