Miyano Akemi floated around, touching her chin and thinking for a while. Finally, she overcame her conscience and nodded reservedly.
It’s not that he is greedy, nor does he want to trap Shuichi Akai for food. It’s just that the owner of the psychic master can’t kill people. At most, he has some murderous intent. In addition, he is willing to send some necessary information to Akai. This is not called exploitation, this is fair and just.
Transaction. After all, living people don’t need murderous intent, so it’s better to give it to groups in need.
Jiang Xia was not surprised by her choice. He touched Miyano Akemi's head and suddenly thought of another thing.
Jiang Xia walked to the window and closed the curtains, then pulled Matsuda Jinpei out of the seal space, who was still immersed in sorting out the murderous smell of smoke, and threw him into the puppets.
Soon, "Uzo" took shape in the house.
Jiang Xia possessed him and dialed Okiya Subaru's phone, like a good boss who cares about the health of his employees after a dinner party: "Are you home safely?"
"I've returned to Tokyo as you said." Subaru Okiya's voice was a little erratic, as if he had just returned from a tour through the Hell Gate.
After a pause, he remembered his mission of "leading Jiang Xia to the crime scene anytime and anywhere": "By the way, Jiang Xia and I are in the same carriage, and Jiang Xia has also arrived in Tokyo."
Jiang Xia: "..." Sharing a carriage with me? Your presence is so low that I didn't notice it.
...Speaking of which, even if you are here, why is there no case in the car? Are you tired too?
Jiang Xia was not satisfied with the performance of Conan and Okiya Subaru on the road.
On the other side of the phone, Subaru Okiya heard him say nothing, so he had no choice but to figure out what he meant.
He hesitated and said, "Do you want me to go and wait near Jiangxia? He seems to have gone home now. I don't know if he will go out today."
Jiang Xia almost nodded.
However, remembering that this subordinate was going to be used to catch Akai Shuichi, it was best to let him return to his normal life temporarily, so he said regretfully: "You go back to the apartment to live first, don't cover your comings and goings, write papers, have a class, and then go shopping
Go shopping, just do it on a daily basis - if Shuichi Akai contacts you on the way, tell him that I want to have a chat with him."
Although Shuichi Akai also killed people without blinking an eye, he was working as an undercover agent in the organization at that time.
But now, facing Subaru Okiya who was implicated by him, how could he give someone a chance to speak without worrying about the life threat to the little brother he had retrieved.
Jiang Xia was in a good mood when she mentioned her younger brother: "By the way, I found a colleague for you. You should get along very well."
Subaru Okiya remembered the meaning revealed in his previous words, and his eyes darkened: "...you mean Mr. Akai?"
Jiang Xia: "He is not yet, but when he comes back, we should have a talk - then you must get along well."
Okiya Subaru: "..." It's better to say goodbye.
I don’t know if Mr. Akai will feel embarrassed when he thinks of his “perfect escape plan”. Anyway, when Subaru Okiya thinks that he finally succumbed to Usa’s power, he wants to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Think about the future.
The meeting scene always feels very suffocating.
But thankfully, it sounds like Mr. Akai is still safe now and has not been poisoned by Uzo because of his arrest.
Although the plan drawn up by Shuichi Akai and his FBI teammates was completely useless, Subaru Okiya was not too angry: after all, their opponent was that devilish boss, and their complete defeat was not their intention, so it was barely forgivable.
...But wait.
Since the "subordinate who gets along well" that Uzo mentioned is not Mr. Akai, then who else could it be?
During this trip to the UK, did anyone else suffer from Uzo’s murder?
When he thought that someone had experienced the same terrible thing as him, Subaru Okiya felt strangely relieved, and then felt a sense of sympathy for his fellow sufferers.
He suddenly hoped to see that person soon, so that in the future, someone could distract Uzo from the fatal attention that was devoted to him.
——When one person suffers, he suffers. If two people suffer, they can share the same hatred and scold the unscrupulous boss. Of course, at most, you can only mutter a few words in your heart... but that is much better than struggling to support yourself now.
…
Jiang Xia went to her younger brother to explain the matter, dispersed the puppets, cleaned up, and prepared to start the live broadcast to build momentum.
The live broadcast is conducted online, and will then be edited into a video and broadcast on the program at the appropriate time.
Today happens to be Monday, and school has started. You can go to the school to take a look at the situation.
However, from what the program crew said, they seem to want to shoot the interior of the school in detail tomorrow. Today, we will briefly take a look at the places where Jiang Xia often goes, so that the audience can have a basic idea of the famous detective's daily life.
So after negotiation, the initial filming was scheduled in Yoneka Town.
…
When the time came, Jiang Xia packed up her things and went out to a nearby coffee shop.
——Although he didn't mind his address being exposed, the program team was worried that fanatical fans would come to his door because of it. So in the end, they made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop in Yoneka Town.
Jiang Xia followed the address and looked for it. Just after turning the corner, she saw the filming team sent by the program team at the entrance of the coffee shop from a distance.
The TV station's car stopped on the side of the road, and nearly ten people got out.
On the sidewalk, radio operators and lighting people were doing their respective duties, and there was a crowd of people surrounding a young and beautiful female star. And someone next to the female star... a... uh, a huge cat puppet——
It's the kind of guy who often appears in amusement parks wearing doll costumes and blowing up balloons.
Jiang Xia stopped and looked at the huge fake cat: "...?"
Didn’t it say that the host was a man and a woman? Why was the male host suddenly replaced by a cat?
"This is our live broadcast mascot today, Mr. Rice Flower!"
Yoko Kinoshita changed into a youthful attire close to that of a student, smiled and said something to the camera, interacted with the audience from time to time, and was warming up.
Suddenly noticing Jiang Xia approaching, she waved happily and said to the camera: "Our protagonist has appeared."
Although he felt that the doll cat standing on the street was a bit strange, Jiang Xia still walked over with a natural expression, as if one of the hosts originally appointed by the program team was a cat doll.
The general process of the live broadcast has been arranged, but just to prevent the audience from being confused, Jiang Xia, after shaking hands with Kinoshita Yoko and the fake cat, specifically asked about today's schedule in front of the camera.
…
"Tell me about my daily life?"
"Yes." The cat spoke. His voice sounded like a child's. It was converted with a voice changer - it was not a high-end product like Dr. Ali who could change into anyone he wanted. It just made his voice smooth.
So that others can't tell the difference, "And let's see what kind of school has cultivated talents like you."
