Although he has only been working near Jiang Xia for a short time, Hashimoto Maya also knows that there are a group of customers in Tokyo who like to go to the detective agency to chat with Jiang Xia.

 …Forget it in the office, after all, there is surveillance, so you can’t do anything. But now, this lady actually wants someone to come to her door!

Maya Hashimoto blurted out: "No!"

Wu Zuo asked him to observe Jiang Xia, get close to Jiang Xia, and think about ways to murder Jiang Xia - but the method of murder definitely did not include giving people to Mrs. Fu.

Even if this lady is still charming, it won’t work.

 He said firmly: “This is illegal!”

No one understands Jiang Xia's insight better than him. Maya Hashimoto knows that if he steps on the road of crime, he may be sent back by Jiang Xia's righteous killing of relatives - this clever detective must not have truly trusted him.

Mrs. Fu didn't expect him to be so surprised, and was shocked by his "illegal" words.

She glanced at Maya Hashimoto guiltily, and suddenly felt something was wrong. After a change of thought, she realized that this guy seemed to be thinking wrongly.

Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes gracefully, with a look of disdain on her face: "Who said it was that kind of thing? I just have a commission to find him."

Hashimoto Maya noticed the change in her expression: "..." Really? I always feel like your motives are impure. And I didn’t even say what kind of thing it was. How did you know it was that kind of thing?

He had doubts, but since the other party said this, Maya Hashimoto could only think about it and said: "I will convey it to you. Whether you come or not is Jiang Xia's business."

Mrs. Xu was not very satisfied with this answer, but if someone recommended her, Jiang Xia would always have a higher probability of accepting the commission. She reluctantly nodded: "Okay, let's make another appointment."

 …

 “Have a commission?”

Jiang Xia happened to be sending cats to the detective agency. When he heard the news from Maya Hashimoto, he was a little surprised and a little pleasantly surprised.

—Within two days of joining the company, my younger brother will take the initiative to come back with the commission. Although the case... is wrong, and although the quality of the commission is unknown, the spirit is commendable.

"You are welcome. You are my only colleague now, so of course I will not refuse such a small thing. If you have something similar in the future, feel free to come to me."

Jiang Xia looked at the free time provided by Mrs. Xu: "Let's make an appointment at the first time, the nearest one."

 …

 The next day, Jiang Xia crossed out several plans to take Conan for a walk and arrived at the appointed place at the scheduled time.

Mrs. Xu booked a reservation at a high-end coffee shop. As soon as Jiang Xia arrived nearby, she saw a conspicuous tall man wearing a knitted hat from a distance.

Hashimoto Maya waved to him.

This time, Maya Hashimoto did not call Saburo Inozuka over.

—Due to the leading role of several bad seniors, Maya Hashimoto also became involved without knowing it. He began to actively reduce the time that his colleagues had to contact Jiangxia and make other people's assessments more difficult.

When I went to Mrs. Asahi’s place before, Maya Hashimoto was worried about the Hongmen Banquet, so it was difficult to find colleagues.

 This time, it was already confirmed that the other party just wanted to place a commission, and Jiang Xia was present. Maya Hashimoto had some objections to Saburo Inozane, a guy who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, so he decisively kicked him out and went solo this time.

 …

Hashimoto Maya successfully met Jiang Xia, a detective who can make good people feel at ease, and took him to the reserved private room.

 Not long after, Mrs. Xu arrived.

Jiang Xia shook hands with her and handed her a business card.

Mrs. Xu reached out and took it with a bright smile: "Actually, I have known your contact information for a long time - many of my friends have gone to your place to look for cats. Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats and dogs, otherwise we must have known each other a long time ago." Maya Hashimoto: "..." It sounds like "cat hunting" has become a new fashion in Tokyo.

He had a lot to say, but he quickly corrected his position as "Watson" and huddled silently behind Jiang Xia without speaking, using actions to reduce his sense of presence.

The two of them chatted for a while, and then Mrs. Xu brought up the business: "It's like this, I have a distant cousin. A few years ago, as a stepmother, she married into a famous family in Qunma County.

"Her husband unfortunately passed away recently. According to the will, her son Sunda Seimaru will inherit the family and become the next head of the Sunda family. Because of this, they received a threatening letter not long ago, saying that they would take away Her son’s life.”

As she spoke, she took out a letter written with a brush and handed it to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia took it smoothly, opened it and looked at it, and saw what was written on the letter:

  [The day when the memorial ceremony ends is when the next head of the Xun family dies.

  —Curse Samurai]

Jiang Xia: "..." Although I don't know what the cursed warrior is, it sounds like a good big scene. This trip is really the right one.

Seemingly seeing him staring at the signature, Mrs. Xu played with her newly made nails and explained: "The 'cursed warrior' seems to be a local legend in their area, related to the origin of the Xun family. Those big families always have some connections. There is a long history, and I don’t know much about these things—I am a commoner and have never been exposed to these things, but one thing I can be sure of is that if the ‘cursed warrior’ appears, someone must be pretending to be a ghost.”

Jiang Xia understood the process: "So you want me to find the person who wrote the letter?"

Mrs. Xu shook her head: "How could it be? Of course not."

Jiangxia: "?"

Maya Hashimoto: "?" This woman doesn't want to do anything illegal again.

Mrs. Xu explained: “The recently deceased head of the Xun family had three children in total, all three of whom were born to him and his ex-wife, and my cousin was just a step-in-law.

"My cousin's son was even brought in from outside. He has no blood relationship with the head of the Xun family. I don't know why her son became the next head of the family, but what is certain is that the person who is eyeing that boy's life must be He is one of the three biological children of the head of the Xun family - my cousin is in the wrong in this matter. If she asks you to deal with those three biological children again, the other elders will not agree."

Jiang Xia sorted out her thoughts: "So you don't need me to find the person who wrote the threatening letter, you just need me to protect him until the day he succeeds?"

Mrs. Xu showed admiration in her eyes: "You're so clever, you can tell with just one point - how about you, can you accept this kind of commission?"

Jiang Xia: "Of course." After taking over, I don't know whether it will succeed.

Mrs. Xu raised her hand and looked at her watch: "My cousin may be arriving soon, I'll pick her up. You can talk to her about the rest - I have a meeting later, so I have to leave first."

Jiang Xia nodded.

Mrs. Xu opened the door and walked out in a good mood.

 The moment the door opened, a man wearing an employee uniform happened to pass by.

The waiter took a look at the door and saw the people inside clearly. He was suddenly startled, and a murderous aura smelling of coffee gradually emerged from his body.

Jiang Xia felt something, stopped talking to Maya Hashimoto, and looked up at the door.

However, the door has been closed by Mrs. Xu smoothly, and nothing can be seen.
