Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 1719: 1719【Haihara Ai's conspiracy】

 Chapter 17191719【Haihara Ai's conspiracy】

 Jiangxia: “…”

He put down the cup and quietly pushed it away, expressing his refusal with his actions.

 Then he took a cookie to suppress the bitter taste in his mouth, and at the same time glanced at Miyano Akemi floating next to her.

Miyano Akemi understood, and floated closer to her in a menacing manner. She rubbed her sister's face vigorously and avenged her spiritual medium master in a pretentious and altruistic manner.

Haihara Ai didn't know what happened to her face. Seeing that Jiang Xia was determined not to drink, she had no choice but to put the cup away with regret, rummaged in the lunch box again, took out a cup of coffee with a lid and put it down.

This time Jiang Xia picked it up and drank it.

 While having breakfast, Huiyuan Ai observed again and found that Jiang Xia was still distracted. Fortunately, this is not his usual hang-up mode before, but he is concentrating on thinking about something, and it seems to be something that Jiang Xia is looking forward to very much.

Haiyuan Ai was relieved.

 But I am not completely reassured.

—The more excited the detective is about a case, the more dangerous it is. Moreover, just after the plane accident ended, she actually always suspected that there was something hidden behind the accident. Otherwise, this would be too coincidental. The strong organizational atmosphere on the plane at that time could not really be just an accident caused by the murder.

Before he could figure out what to do, Jiang Xia stood up and said, "Okay, I'll leave first."

Haiyuan Ai had a lot of questions that she couldn't even formulate. When she looked up, the person was gone.

Haiyuan Ai: "..." Alas, forget it.

After all, Jiang Xia is also a member of the organization. Even if he accidentally saw something, there is no need for other members to risk exposure to silence a celebrity who is barely one of their own.

Moreover, Jiang Xia seems to know cadres in other organizations and has good relationships with them, such as the dangerous Curly Hair who passed by her door before. With this level of inside information, Jiang Xia would definitely not follow in the footsteps of Kudo Shinichi and be silenced by being knocked on the back of the head.

Haihara Ai then packed up his lunch box and went back.

When she arrived in the yard, she suddenly saw a few children poking their heads at the door - they were the young detective team who came to go to school with her.

Haihara Ai glanced at the three small figures and was startled for a moment - Kudo wasn't there? Could it be that he fled to Jiangxia again?

 …

Jiang Xia didn't see a few children who took the risk of passing by her door.

 At this time, he had already gone to the other side of the street, successfully found a car as the email said, and got in.

In the car was Yoko Kinoshita, and Toru Amuro did not come over because he had something to do.

Jiang Xia: "..." Although the boss is really busy at ordinary times, but combined with his behavior last night, it feels like he doesn't want to act with me.

How could there be such a strange boss in the world? None of his employees hate being with the boss, but the boss avoids him. Is this even justified?

Jiang Xia's mood became normal.

But soon, the detective's smile turned sunny again: When he arrived at the place he wanted to investigate, as soon as he got off the car, there was a first-grade elementary school student holding a skateboard waving to him - Conan sneakily skipped class to follow him. .

Jiang Xia looked at the approaching figure and smiled: "You always say that I skipped classes, but I also skip classes every day."

Conan's eyes drifted: "How can it be the same? I have attended elementary school classes once, but you have never attended classes in the second and third years of high school." Jiang Xia is not really condemning Conan's truancy, but is very supportive of it. An efficient move that doesn’t waste your life.

 …

They did not broadcast live today. Yoko Kinoshita brought a camera alone. After the filming is completed, this segment will be edited into subsequent programs depending on the situation.

The live broadcast was originally to build momentum for the upcoming program, and the program was to build momentum for the subsequent commendation meeting. Although the live broadcast has been interrupted unexpectedly, the popularity has already risen, no less than the 24-hour broadcast. There are even residents along the river taking the initiative to help keep an eye on whether there are bodies in the river, but they have not been found yet.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Xia turned around and glanced at Kinoshita Yoko, who was holding a small camera and filming him.

Jiang Xia suddenly felt something: "It would be great if I had a reliable assistant."

Not only can he help take photos for certificates and attract customers, but he can also help stop the boss's car when necessary: ​​if there is a living person crossing in front of the car, it is impossible for Toru Amuro to run over directly, unless that person is Shuichi Akai.

Jiang Xia: "..." So when will Hashimoto Maya receive the account?

Forget it about Rum, nearly 24 hours have passed since he tactfully made the request in the car, and the efficiency on the Boss side is actually so low... Could it be that the cadre's confidant is actually an important position that cannot be transferred casually?

While thinking about it, he sighed: Forget it, let’s wait a little longer. I happen to have other things to do now. After the council member’s commendation meeting is over, if the new guy hasn’t come yet, I’ll try to find a way to hurry him up, or transfer Okiya Subaru to him.

 Kinoshita Yoko didn't know the many secrets behind this sigh, and thought Jiang Xia was worried that she was too tired from filming.

She smiled, patted her arm, and showed Jiang Xia her biceps that were completely invisible but theoretically a little bit bigger: "This camera is not heavy for me at all. In fact, my assistant wants to help. Shooting, but this is your private commission after all, it would be bad if someone unrelated leaks the secret."

In addition, she herself found it very interesting to be an assistant to a famous detective - she just happened to take on a drama with a similar role, so she was able to practice in advance.

 …

 Although he wanted to find a kidnapper, Katsuhiko Takei did not cooperate. Jiang Xia therefore did not start with his business competitors.

The three people came to the river together to check the gap in the railing that was hit by the kidnapper's car.

As soon as he found the place, he saw a man standing in the gap of the railing, facing the river, with his head bowed.

Jiang Xia's footsteps paused slightly.

 Kinoshita Yoko recognized the figure from behind and poked her head out from behind the camera: "Miss Hanai?"

—This is the secretary of the hostage’s father whom I met yesterday.

Secretary Hanai was still as distracted as yesterday. She didn’t respond even after Kinoshita Yoko called her twice. Jiang Xia walked over and raised his hand to pat her on the shoulder. Secretary Huajing was startled, moved away, and almost fell into the river.

Jiang Xia grabbed her arm in time and pulled her back.

Hanai Akiko finally came back to her senses and regained her balance in fear.

Conan also wanted to help someone just now, but his legs were too short and his arms were too short to reach her, so he had to look at her worriedly: "Sister Huajing, are you okay? Why didn't you respond when I called you just now?"

Secretary Huajing shook his head helplessly: "Sorry, I didn't hear you. My ears have been uncomfortable these past few days, maybe because I am too anxious."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and pinched her nose. Then he quickly collected his emotions and looked at Jiang Xia: "Why did you come here? Aren't you looking for the kidnappers?"
