Although the task of "waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Jiang Xia" makes people anxious, it is a long-term task after all and can be done at any time. In addition, there seem to be other more urgent things to deal with at the moment.
"Buy the theater on the island and the former site of the Crystal Restaurant."
After Maya Hashimoto left the bar, he immediately started investigating these two places.
While checking, I was grumbling in my heart: "The theater on the island, haha, what a bad memory. I thought that I could at least stay away from the dispute between Uzo and Mr. Ireland during my imprisonment, but I didn't expect that the two guys directly
I took it to Uzo's favorite theater. Uzo actually targeted me and asked me to see which unlucky guy's island this is... Suzuki Ayako?"
This seems to be Suzuki Sonoko's sister, the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family.
"..."
The moment he found out the name of the island owner, Maya Hashimoto fell silent for a moment.
...The guy who brought money into the group is indeed not an easy person.
Maybe that place was actually proposed by Suzuki Sonoko to Usa. Hehe, a female high school student who helped the villain.
While mentally blaming his colleagues, he checked the relevant agents and sent an email to express his intention to purchase.
Then I checked a second place.
"The explosion at the Crystal Restaurant, oh, I remembered it. Isn't this the story of the bartender who went crazy in the newspaper office after losing his sense of taste. According to the order of playing cards, the person with thirteen in his name killed all the way to one." Qiao.
Benmoye looked at the massive case information that appeared on the screen, "Jiang Xia went to the bottom of the sea, and then the undersea restaurant exploded. Detectives swam out from the bottom of the sea... Why did Uzuo choose this location specifically? Could it be that he wanted to use it as a close call?
What a wonderful commemoration after killing Jiang Xia?"
It was difficult to guess the sinister intentions of his boss. Anyway, what happened in the past had nothing to do with him, so Maya Hashimoto didn't think hard and sent an email to the agent here, and then quietly waited for the results.
...No, we can't wait quietly.
The rule "If the performance does not meet the standard within one year, you will resign from Uzo" was like a sharp knife hanging over his head. Maya Hashimoto couldn't sit still at all and stood up: "I'd better plan how to get close to Jiang Xia first.
"
…
On the other side, as a self-proclaimed considerate boss, Jiang Xia also admired his new subordinates and thought about where he should go to meet Maya Hashimoto so that he could give him a suitable conversation.
Unexpectedly, I didn't meet Maya Hashimoto for the time being. Instead, when I was passing by a restaurant, I bumped into Mouri Kogoro and his family sitting inside.
"..."
Jiang Xia stopped in front of the restaurant window, hesitated for 0.1 seconds, found her cell phone and sent a message to Haiyuan Ai:
[No need to save my portion today, I’ll eat it outside.]
Then he approached the restaurant and said, "What a coincidence, you are eating out too."
"Eka?" Mouri Kogoro had a good impression of this neighbor. It was not because Jiangxia often gave him first-hand peripherals of Kinoshita Yoko, but because although this child was a detective, he was humble, courteous and respectful of his predecessors. He was not like Kudo Arata at all.
Just like that kid, he deserves a beating.
However, meeting him while eating still made Mouri Kogoro's heart skip a beat. The next moment, he said to the waiter who was taking orders at the table: "Change the udon I ordered into a sandwich."
Conan didn't react at first.
After the waiter left, he belatedly looked at Jiang Xia, who was sitting next to him, and whispered: "Why are you here? There won't be another client of yours nearby, or is there still a case?"...
Should he also follow Uncle Maori's example and change his food to something he can carry with him at any time?
Jiang Xia took a sip of the ice water on the table, and then said innocently: "What are you talking about? It seems that if you meet me, you will definitely encounter a case. I was just passing by here and saw you, and it happened to be dinner time again.
, so I came to try the food here—this store is newly opened, and it’s my first time here.”
Conan was suspicious: "I understand the truth, so why did you order fried shrimp rolls?"
Jiang Xia said confidently: "Because I am busy, if a customer comes to me urgently during the meal."
Conan: "...?" When did your business upgrade to VIP?
…
Although Jiang Xia was prepared to be called away by the case halfway through the meal, to his surprise, nothing happened nearby until he finished eating.
He wiped his mouth and sighed inwardly, a little disappointed. However, considering that he lived close to Mao Lilan and Conan, there were many opportunities for them to meet each other. It was understandable that there were no cases every time, so he felt very quick.
Peace is restored again - this store tastes good, which is an unexpected surprise. I can come here often in the future.
I thought this was the end of a peaceful day, but as soon as I walked out of the restaurant, a fat middle-aged man suddenly passed by the door of the restaurant.
When he turned around and saw Mouri Kogoro, this fat man pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in surprise: "Moori?"
"Huh?" Mouri Kogoro followed the voice and said with the same surprise, "Omura? Long time no see!"
Jiang Xia followed and looked over, his eyes scanning the middle-aged man's face, and found that he had seen this person before - he seemed to be Jun Omura, a classmate of the Judo Club of Kogoro University in Mori.
The two old classmates exchanged pleasantries, and Jun Omura suddenly remembered something and sighed: "By the way, I just have something I want to ask you for help with."
"You want my help?" Mouri Kogoro yawned, "Have you lost your pet, or do you want to investigate an affair?"
"No, it's another commission." Omura Jun sighed, "Every night lately, I can always hear some strange noises in the apartment where I live."
Jiang Xia also came over, looking very interested.
Omura Jun saw that there was another detective here, and he was immediately reassured. He said in detail: "It's like the sound of a hard object hitting the wall, a sudden 'dong' sound."
Mouri Kogoro scratched his head: "Punching a hard object on the wall? Is it a prank played by the children nearby? Don't underestimate those naughty kids, they will do anything when they get together."
As he spoke, he knocked Conan next to him on the head.
Conan, who was also listening to the commission attentively: "???"
The naughty kid’s prank has nothing to do with me!
Opposite me, Jun Omura shook his head, looking worried: "I thought so at first, so every time I heard a sound, I rushed to the window to check. But the sound has been going on for a week.
Until now, I have not been able to catch anyone."
"The only time it was different was last night." When Omura Jun said this, he couldn't help but frowned and looked serious:
"Last night I heard a noise, rushed to the window and saw a black cat sitting quietly under the street lamp in the distance. The cat was staring intently at the downstairs of my house.
"I followed its gaze and vaguely saw two tall figures in black - that head was definitely not a child, but maybe two outlaw gangsters who were planning a crime!"
