Kinoshita Yoko originally thought that Jiang Xia's pursuit of stars this time would fail miserably. She was thinking about giving up the commission and shamelessly using her own face to help Jiang Xia get a photo or an autograph... Who knows now, Maki Shuri saw
Jiang Xia actually changed his mind again.
She looked at Jiang Xia, then back at Mushuli, and tilted her head in confusion.
Mu Shuli gracefully held up her skirt and walked forward and shook hands with Jiang Xia. She pinched Jiang Xia's fingertips and looked at the young detective up and down, feeling extremely satisfied.
——Recently, Maki Shuli felt that her little lover was a bit old and faded, making her uninteresting. So she secretly asked people to help her find new targets, but she never found one she was satisfied with.
Unexpectedly, it was an unintentional intervention. Instead, it was the detective who came to her door. She liked it as soon as she saw it.
"Are you Jiang Xia?" Mu Shuli showed a gentle smile and said in a sweet voice, "I've heard about it for a long time."
This is not a lie. Mushuli is very senior and holds a high position in the entertainment industry. He is usually a busy person with a full schedule.
In her only free time, of course she would not make coffee and read newspapers like those uncles, nor would she rarely read the news. Only when she was bored on the road would she turn on the radio and listen to something casually.
In those news, she seemed to have heard about a detective named "Jiang Xia". Although Mu Shuli was not interested in these murder cases, he only listened to them as stories. Rounding it off, it was considered something she had heard.
Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin and stared at Maki Shuri's hand holding Jiang Xia's. She always felt that something was wrong: "..." Is the handshake a little too long? And the fingertips were pinched and looked at carefully.
His appearance is a bit weird no matter how you look at it... Could it be that this star hasn't appeared in the script yet and is waiting for something like a kiss on the hand from a knight... No! It's already the new century.
Why do you still need to practice those ancient etiquette? She disagreed!
Maybe it was because the female high school girl's gaze was too sharp. Maki Shuri smiled and let go of her hand.
In fact, the time between the two people was not very long, and in addition to Mu Shuli's dignified appearance, in the eyes of others, it was more like a generous elder admiring some young people with great potential - after all, Mu Shuli
Although she still looks like a young and beautiful woman, she is actually almost forty years old. Rounding it off, she is about the same generation as Kudo Yusaku and the others.
After a few simple polite words, Maki Shuli turned sideways in a gentle manner and motioned to the room behind him: "There are many people in the corridor. If you don't mind, come and sit in my lounge. Let's chat by the way.
Let’s talk about the commission.”
…
Although the process was a bit tortuous, at any rate, after visiting the magic venue, a group of people at least had something to do.
There are sofas and chairs for guests in the lounge, with a small coffee table in the middle. Jiang Xia and Mu Shuli sat face to face, and Conan also consciously jumped on the stool and sat next to Jiang Xia, listening seriously and trying to find out what he was doing.
Some traces of darkness.
Then he saw Mu Shuli lift his chin at his assistant. The somewhat dull assistant was startled for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. Under Mu Shuli's dissatisfied eyes, he trotted to the drawer and took out an envelope.
Mu Shuli took it and pushed the envelope to Jiang Xia: "I received this yesterday morning."
"Is it a threatening letter?" Conan couldn't help but say.
Jiang Xia opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, and saw a Q-version avatar of a grinning Kaitou.
——This is a warning letter from Kidd.
Conan: "..."
...At the critical moment when digging out information about the black organization, this strange thief comes to join in the fun!
Jiang Xia didn't seem surprised: "Kidd is eyeing something around you?"
Mushuli sighed as if he was troubled: "Yes, yesterday morning I wanted to go to the balcony to see the river view advertised by the hotel, but when I opened the door, I saw a large handful of fresh food on the small coffee table on the balcony.
of roses, and next to it is this letter."
"The notification letter of illegal crime is made like a love letter, and that guy still likes to pretend..."
Conan was silent for a moment while he was chatting. He suddenly remembered the strange "dad" he met last night.
After encountering so many cases in consecutive days and having to battle wits with that mysterious and terrifying organization cadre, Conan was actually very tired yesterday. In addition, he was concentrating on other things, so he temporarily forgot to talk to that weird person.
"Yusaku Kudo".
At this time, he understood immediately, and his eyes twitched slightly: No wonder he met Kidd in London. In this way, Kidd is indeed an international thief, and it is normal for him to have business in the UK.
Conan: "..." Speaking of which, Jiang Xia must have recognized Kidd last night, why didn't he tell him?
Conan's eyelids jumped wildly when he thought of the word "Dad" he blurted out last night.
The first-grade primary school student who recognized a thief as his father was about to condemn Jiang Xia, but before he could speak, he suddenly remembered the embarrassing scene where he wanted to follow Jiang Xia to the bar last night, but ended up accidentally bringing a bunch of people there.
After a moment, Conan silently closed his mouth, decided that the matter was settled, and leaned over to read the notice letter intently.
…
Kidd's notice letter is as incomprehensible as ever.
This letter has a few bold English words printed on it, and below it are the same confusing sentences:
[When 26 words fly and intersect, I will
Go and get the gem of destiny.]
In the lower left corner is a playing card split in half, and in the lower right corner is the familiar Q version of a simple drawing. Kidd always draws his own profile picture on the notices, which can be regarded as a certain degree of anti-counterfeiting.
sign.
…
"The gem of destiny?" Jiang Xia scanned the information and put the notice letter back on the table, "Is this Kidd's goal this time?"
Mu Shuli nodded, took out a dark blue velvet ring box from his body, opened it, and turned it over to show Jiang Xia.
As the box lid was opened, a bright blue light flashed through. An extremely beautiful ring was revealed in the box. The surface of the ring was a huge oval dark blue gemstone, as blue as the sea, and the gemstone was surrounded by dazzling diamonds.
There are three intertwined lines in the middle of the gemstone, forming several mysterious golden threads, making this ring look particularly unique.
Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but her eyes lit up and she blurted out: "It's so beautiful."
After saying that, I suddenly felt that as a detective's companion, this kind of emotion seemed too unprofessional. Suzuki Sonoko cleared her throat, found a notebook and held it in her hand, pretending that she didn't say anything just now and was just concentrating.
