1531Uzo and Detective's Short-term BalancePlease vote for me (?)?
"Very...filthy?"
Kinoshita Yoko had originally planned to actively avoid the conversation between the detective and the client, lest Jiang Xia's confidentiality of the commission would be affected by her - if there were rumors of leaks, the private detective's career might be affected.
However, at this moment, after hearing this sentence, she couldn't help but hesitate a little, looked at Jiang Xia, and sat down again.
"..."
Seeing that he couldn't get her away like this, the magician realized it belatedly.
He immediately changed his words smoothly: "Oh, actually that's not the case - I'm telling the truth. My commission involves some people in the entertainment industry. Jiangxia and the others don't have much contact with this circle, so it doesn't matter if they hear it. But if
Let’s talk about people you know for a while, and I’m afraid it might be a little embarrassing if you’re around.”
"So that's it." Yoko Kinoshita breathed a sigh of relief. Her curiosity was not that strong, and her suspicion was not too serious. After hearing this new explanation, she felt relieved and left with the beautiful magic assistant.
After they left, the magician kicked out all the others in the group, leaving only Subaru Okiya.
Okiya Subaru: "...?" Why is he the only one left? Is this magician also an accomplice in some secret? He doesn't want to listen to this person's commission, not at all!
...But when he thought about enduring it until the performance was over, he could leave tomorrow, and it would be better not to offend the core of the group before then. Subaru Okiya took a silent breath, and finally endured it.
But soon, he discovered that he was wrong.
——The magician drove away the rest of the group and only allowed him to stay. There was a very necessary reason.
"Everyone, sit down." The magician motioned to the bench, and after Jiang Xia and the others took their seats, he sat opposite Jiang Xia.
Then he sighed and made a sad expression: "Actually, I specially invited the detective here today because I found that among our team members, someone actually wanted to kill me - I want you to help me find it.
Get out of that person."
Subaru Okiya felt powerless to do anything at this time: hide away, fearing that what happened last night would happen again; just run away, but he didn't want to give up the glimmer of dawn.
All kinds of thoughts were cluttered in his mind. He simply stopped thinking about these troublesome things and ran errands to fetch water.
Jiang Xia took the juice he handed him, looked up at him, and nodded secretly: "..." It's almost enough, and Okiya Subaru should be mentally prepared enough. It's time to find an opportunity to let Wu
Come out and talk about the beauty of Tokyo with this little brother who yearns for freedom.
While thinking about it, he took a sip of the juice in the glass.
Then I was surprised to find that the juice here is actually freshly squeezed and specially flavored. It tastes good and tastes better than the ones sold in professional stores. The quality of life in this magic group seems to be quite guaranteed.
He simply raised his head and drank a few more sips.
Okiya Subaru came back to his senses, stared at a large amount of juice that had fallen into the cup, and hesitated to speak: "..."
According to his observations during this period, the relationship between the members of the magic troupe was a bit strange and unexplainable.
You can eat and drink here without fear of being accidentally injured... Is this the confidence of a famous detective?
Okiya Subaru: "..." Regarding this point, if you think on the bright side, Jiang Xia is extremely talented in reasoning. When he encounters Uzo's script in the future, Uzo should not let him "I'm thirsty at the crime scene and want a drink."
"Water, accidentally ingested poison, and died suddenly" is a comical script that transports Jiang Xia, a detective who can rarely see through his line of reasoning at a glance, to another world.
But thinking about the worst, if one day Jiang Xia notices traces of the organization's existence and Wu Zuo wants to silence them, it doesn't seem to be difficult.
It seems that after running away, he still needs to tactfully remind Jiang Xia. Not only because he can't bear to see the detective who helped him die, but also because Wu Zuo has to have something to do in order to ignore the subtle differences in his little brother...
…
On the opposite side, the magician originally wanted to make the situation more serious, so that Jiang Xia would realize the problem and try his best to help him avoid the unknown danger.
However, after speaking solemnly, Jiang Xia did not respond, but looked at the glass of juice with admiration.
Magician: "..." An impolite young man. If this detective hadn't been invited by Miss Yoko, he would definitely kick this guy out and let him taste a severe beating from Party A.
Unfortunately, assumptions are just assumptions.
The magician imagined it freely in his mind, but in the end he could only inadvertently clear his throat forcefully to increase his sense of presence.
Jiang Xia was startled by him and came back to his senses as he wished.
After taking a second to recall what the magician had just said, Jiang Xia asked: "Are you talking about the person who sent you the 'dirty threatening letter'? Show me the letter first. There is often something written on it."
Contains a lot of important information.”
The magician shook his head:
"Didn't I just say that it was just an excuse? I actually didn't receive the threatening letter. I just didn't want Miss Yoko to hear the conversation between us."
Dr. A Li was also drinking juice. When he heard this, he choked: "Then how do you know someone is going to kill you?"
The magician leaned back in his chair: "Although I didn't receive a clear threatening letter, some dangerous accidents occurred during the last two rehearsals.
"The mechanical equipment on the ceiling actually fell down and hit the place where I was. If I hadn't been agile and good at observation and avoided it in time, I might have been lying in the hospital or even dead."
"This kind of thing can barely be regarded as an accident only once, but twice in a short period of time... Huh, my luck can't be that bad! Someone must be targeting me."
After speaking, he stared at Jiang Xia seriously.
Jiang Xia handed the empty juice cup back to Okiya Subaru, motioning for him to have another cup. Then he clasped his hands on his knees and put on a serious expression like a magician: "When those accidents happened, the mechanical switches were nearby.
anyone there."
The magician shook his head: "No matter how I look for it, I am the only one at the scene."
Jiang Xia thought for a while and then asked according to the procedure: "Who in the troupe has a problem with you?"
The magician sighed: "Besides me, there are 5 more important members of our group - the others have not had any contact with me, and they will not become enemies with me in the future. Just focus on investigating those 5 people."
Okiya Subaru, who was tinkering with the juicer with his back to them: "...?"
…Are you sure the others are innocent?
...I have only been in contact with you for less than half a day, and I already want to beat you.
Winter City Huanyang did not notice the resentful aura coming from behind.
Conan, on the other hand, looked around cautiously, and finally his suspicious eyes crossed the back of the sofa and landed on Subaru Okiya.
