The assistant lady instinctively answered the guest's question. After speaking, her tone suddenly became a little complicated: "Teacher's newly released book is selling very well. There will be a small celebration party tomorrow, so I have to get my hair done in advance."
Okiya Subaru: "..." It's a beauty salon. Fortunately, he almost thought the person was in the oven...
…
Next to her, Aunt Yadai heard the "celebration banquet" and clicked her tongue several times: "That's amazing."
Subaru Okiya was brought back to reality from the horror theater in his mind by her voice, and nodded in agreement.
As soon as he finished ordering, he heard Yashiro Aie continue without pausing:
"You can earn a lot of money by plagiarizing other people's ideas, but you still don't feel ashamed. This is really impressive - I remember that most of the dishes in that 'best-selling cookbook' were carefully created by the assistant lady."
Yashiro Gie looked at his assistant and said with a strange regret:
"The five years you have been working as her assistant have really squeezed out the bone marrow. No wonder you are always so thin, as if a gust of wind could blow you over."
"Please don't say that." The assistant lady lowered her head in embarrassment and tugged at the hem of her clothes, "Those are not important dishes...and the teacher has improved them himself."
"Ha! Who doesn't know how to make corrections? I can do it too." Yashiro Aie sneered and pushed up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose:
"The basics are all yours, and you don't even have a single complaint... Seriously, is there something wrong with your brain?"
Nishitani Hiroaki couldn’t listen anymore:
"Sister Heeda, stop talking. This is a matter between the teacher and Yuko! We outsiders can't help much if we interrupt."
"Really?" Yashiro Aie glanced at him from behind the glasses and smiled knowingly, "That's right, Uemori has been investing in your store, how dare you interfere in the sponsor's affairs."
"You...!" Nishitani Hiroaki's forehead jumped and he wanted to say something, but he endured it.
"..."
Next to him, Okiya Subaru took half a step back silently, trying to draw a clear line between himself and this group of people.
——In the past, when someone around Okiya Subaru died suddenly, he would have some premonition and try to remind his friends to restrain certain behaviors, but it had no effect.
And this time...
Okiya Subaru glanced at everyone in the room, and for a moment he couldn't tell who was in the worst situation.
…
Maybe his mind was too focused. As he was thinking about it, a picture suddenly appeared in Subaru's mind.
——Uzo was wearing that funeral-like black suit, pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and taught him patiently in a gentle voice:
"My lord, of course I choose to have them all."
"!"
Okiya Subaru suddenly shook his head and shook his head to clear away the horrific images in his mind, breaking out in a cold sweat.
He raised his head and scanned the classroom, with a hint of worry in his eyes: There were so many people in the classroom, but how many of them would be able to walk out alive in the room shrouded in the dark cloud of "Uzo".
"..." Could it be that in the end, the people here will have a closed-loop case where B kills A, C kills B, D kills C, and then D dies from A's poisoning, etc., they will all die...here
Although it is located in a bustling municipal building, the classroom itself is in a remote location, and few people come up to this floor.
Okiya Subaru's eyes gradually became serious.
He couldn't help but tighten his arms and secretly feel the gun hidden in his side, only then did he feel a little safer.
…
After struggling for a while between "Escape quickly!" and "Just wait and see what happens", Okiya Subaru slowly calmed down.
He took out his cell phone, opened it and looked at his mailbox.
As you can see above, there is still no news from the boss "Uzo".
After hesitating for a moment, Okiya Subaru decided to pretend not to notice the abnormality in the atmosphere and continue to be an ordinary teacher.
Okiya Subaru: "..." If Uzo didn't want to kill a humble subordinate like himself, then of course there would be no problem if he stayed here.
And if Uzo had already had murderous intentions and ran out on his own, he might die faster.
In addition, even if Wu Zuo has no murderous intentions, when he sees him running out in a panic, he may feel that he has a "guilty conscience" and can't help but want to test it... In short, before receiving the instructions, it is better to first
Just stay here.
…
Subaru Okiya's mind was running wildly while he was doing a completely useless analysis question.
From behind, Jiang Xia glanced at him strangely: "..."
Why does it feel like the graduate student is very nervous today? Did he realize that Uzo is next to him?
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia simply stepped forward, raised his hand and patted Okiya Subaru on the shoulder: "What's wrong?"
"!!"
Okiya Subaru was agitated, and suddenly turned sideways to avoid it. His other hand seemed to be instinctively trying to grab something.
However, he quickly came back to his senses, stopped in front of everyone's surprised eyes, then stood still and showed a natural smile: "...It's nothing. Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Jiang Xia: "..."
He recalled Okiya Subaru's actions when he was dodging just now, and he couldn't help but turn his gaze to his new little brother's side.
——In my memory, when Toru Amuro saw a torn tire in the deep forest, he had a similar reaction, as if he wanted to touch a gun... How dare Subaru Okiya carry a gun with him?
Jiang Xia: "..." Subaru Okiya is not an adult detective, nor does he have any other relevant status, so he shouldn't be able to get a pistol license.
——In short, this person is probably illegally holding a gun!
As a member of an organization who should always hide his identity, even Uzo didn't take the risk to do such a thing. How could a subordinate be so disregardful of the overall situation... Next time we meet, I should severely criticize him and confiscate something.
but……
Jiang Xia touched his chin and then thought: In this way, if he takes Subaru Okiya on a mission in the future, he can borrow his gun as a matter of course... Even if it causes trouble in the future, Shuichi Akai will feel conscious
Help to finish it off, after all, "Okiya Subaru" is the vest he is eyeing, and it is even possible that he got the gun.
After thinking about this, Jiang Xia's slightly gloomy mood suddenly became better again.
…
Next to him, Okiya Subaru did not notice Jiang Xia's subtle changes.
He also realized that he had overreacted. So after giving a few simple explanations and fooling everyone present, Subaru Okiya focused his attention on the windows, doors, and corners where surveillance cameras might be installed.
——Worried that the "traitor embryo" like himself would be discovered by Uzo who was nowhere to be found.
When Conan heard the movement here, he also poked his head out from the table and looked at Subaru Okiya in confusion.
——He wandered to the other side of the classroom just now, and his view was blocked by the tall table, so he didn't see what happened before.
So now, I can only slowly look at the graduate student who has returned to normal, and try to get rid of my prejudices and objectively examine whether this person has any problems.
