There was indeed a reason why Suzuki Sonoko asked them to go out early.
——This well-connected young lady has already arranged her entire afternoon today and has a full schedule.
"Aunt Toya...could it be Eiko Toya, the leading legendary designer?"
Mao Lilan was stunned for a while, then her star-chasing radar activated, and her beautiful almond eyes began to sparkle again.
After a while, she noticed what Suzuki Sonoko had just said about "photography" and couldn't help but feel a little shy: "It's like a dream to be able to model for an idol."
Conan: "..." You probably have too many idols...
However, after thinking about it, these idols are all elderly aunties anyway, so you can chase them if you want... He yawned without interest, stopped paying attention to these, and started to look around.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Xia looking intently in a certain direction, as if she had seen something interesting.
Conan followed his gaze curiously.
In the field of vision, a familiar light-colored head of hair soon appeared.
…
a few minutes ago.
Subaru Okiya got off the bus at Nishitama Kita Station.
He walked out of the station, looked up at the extremely conspicuous Nishitama City Twin Buildings, and then looked at the tall building opposite it.
Then he walked along the pedestrian street towards his destination, Nishitama City Municipal Building.
It was also Okiya Subaru's good luck - he had just decided to visit this building a few days ago. When he went to the school the next day, he heard two elderly female teachers in the back seat discussing the cooking class.
And that classroom happened to be located in the Nishitama City Municipal Building.
Subaru Okiya shamelessly joined their conversation, relying on his slightly higher affinity than ordinary people.
The two teachers raised their heads and glanced at the handsome young man in front of them who "loved cooking" and chatted with him with great interest... Subaru Okiya got an invitation to experience this way, so that he could come and go freely.
There are more than seven floors.
…
The cooking class only started at 6:30 in the evening, and Subaru Okiya, as a temporary intelligence agent who planned to take a walk around the building, would certainly not be stuck in the time, but would arrive a lot in advance.
However, on the way to the destination, Okiya Subaru's eyes froze and he saw something he cared about.
His eyes fell on the other side of the street, looking at Jiang Xia from a distance, squinting his eyes and opening his eyes: "...?"
...Why did I meet this detective again?
…
Okiya Subaru remembered that the last time he met Jiang Xia, or not long after that, he met Usa who was haunting the area.
He couldn't help but murmur in his mind: Although Wu Zuo was more likely to be attracted by his subordinates, it was also possible that Wu Zuo was using Jiang Xia to "solve the case" in order to complete the organization's tasks. Unfortunately, he passed by.
...However, when talking about Usa's mission, Subaru Okiya secretly thought: wouldn't the opening ceremony of bombing the building be in a few days? He came here on an impromptu basis, and Usa shouldn't be here. So maybe Jiang Xia
Did you just come here to play by chance?
…
Every time he thinks of that mysterious and terrifying boss, Subaru Okiya can't help but fall into the whirlpool of prediction and counter-prediction, never ending - as a quasi-traitor who is ready to run away at any time, Usa
Like a heavy cloud, it always hangs over Okiya Subaru's head, making him unable to help but worry.
Okiya Subaru was secretly wondering whether his encounter with Jiang Xia this time was accidental or inevitable, and whether he would be unlucky enough to meet Usa again...
Before he could figure it out, Jiang Xia, who was being stared at by him, suddenly turned his head and looked straight over. It seemed that his sight had alerted this keen detective.
Okiya Subaru was startled, and subconsciously wanted to hide away. But then he thought, there was no way he could hide faster than his eyes, so the figure stopped again.
After a moment, he showed a friendly smile to Jiang Xia and nodded.
"Mr. Okiya, long time no see." Jiang Xia also waved to him from a distance. For some reason, he looked a little disappointed.
However, that "disappointment" seemed to be just Subaru's illusion - when he took another closer look, he saw that the young detective on the other side of the road still looked friendly, no different from before.
Okiya Subaru: "..." Maybe he was too far away and saw it wrong.
If you want to go to the Municipal Building, you will just pass by where Jiang Xia is.
Although Okiya Subaru was worried that there was some subtle connection between Jiang Xia and Usa, he couldn't ignore each other, not to mention Jiang Xia took the initiative to say hello to him... So he walked towards a few people.
…
Cross the road and walk next to Jiangxia.
Without the obstruction of the vehicle, Subaru Okiya suddenly discovered that there were several other people beside the car - a driver, an elementary school student, and two female high school students.
And one of the girls...
When Okiya Subaru saw Mao Lilan, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
——Isn’t this the young girl sitting next to him who was dragged by a primary school student to discuss “Young Version of the Unparalleled Pentagram” when Uzo was giving him a task in the coffee shop a few days ago!
At that time, Uzo seemed to be very interested in her and the child. Could it be...
Subaru Okiya looked up at the blue and clear sky, but a thick shadow quietly hung in his heart.
...The surrounding Uzo elements have increased.
He secretly looked at Mao Lilan, wondering if this unlucky female high school student had been enveloped by Uzo's clutches.
Before I could figure it out, a voice suddenly floated up from my leg, and the tone was full of childlike innocence:
"Uncle Okiya, are you coming here to play too?"
Okiya Subaru: "...?"
He looked down and saw a little boy wearing glasses.
Okiya Subaru's memory was pretty good. Because he had encountered these children by chance when he was doing a mission for Uzo before, he quickly remembered that the boy with glasses was called "Conan".
Speaking of which, Subaru Okiya was suddenly startled: Isn't "Conan" the central part of the complicated five-corner love relationship? Looking at it from a close distance, he is indeed a handsome boy. No wonder he is very popular among elementary school students... Wait, why did Conan call him ""
"Uncle"? The last time we met, wasn't he called me brother?
Okiya Subaru was briefly confused for a while and stopped trying to follow the child's brain circuit.
He smiled like an ordinary college student and answered Conan's question:
"I heard that Mr. Shangmori has opened a cooking class here. A friend from the academy gave me a trial letter. I just happened to have nothing to do recently, so I plan to come over and relax."
"Cooking class? What a coincidence, we are about to go there too." Jiang Xia looked a little surprised, "But that class only starts at six o'clock in the evening, so it's still early."
"That's it." Subaru Okiya pretended to find the invitation, looked at it again, and raised his hand to pat his forehead regretfully, "It's true, I remembered the time wrong..."
