Jiang Xia waited for a while, but before the doctor could get him a cat, he noticed that Conan's expression was constantly changing.
Jiang Xia took a moment to observe and then came to his senses. Conan probably started to think about it again.
This is normal. For Conan, today is a black organization and an anonymous organization... Tsk, he forgot to leave his name when he was stunned. Conan probably doesn't know about Xiaobai's organization... In short, what happened today
It is indeed too much information for Conan.
Conan almost went forward to set up a tomb for Jiang Xia. Now that he saw that his neighbor had not been brutally murdered by the black organization, he felt lucky and wondered whether he should tell Jiang Xia about the organization and let him be wary of those people.
But there are pros and cons to this kind of thing... Conan was struggling when he suddenly thought of a blind spot.
He stayed for two seconds, then suddenly looked up at Jiang Xia: "...Aren't you curious about how I became smaller?"
...Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xia has never asked him this question.
Not asking questions usually means two situations: one is that you are not interested, and the other is that you already know the reason, so there is no need to ask more.
The former is basically impossible - it is unbelievable for an adult to become smaller.
The various conjectures derived from the latter situation made Conan's heart tighten. He observed Jiang Xia vigilantly, but saw that Jiang Xia did not panic after being questioned like that. Instead, she was a little confused, with "Is this a need to ask?" written all over his face?
"
Jiang Xia pointed at Dr. A Li: "Isn't it just a side effect of the doctor's invention?"
After a pause, he looked at Conan's confused expression, and his expression gradually became serious: "Isn't it? But when I asked before..."
Dr. Ali interrupted him: "Ah haha, that's right! It's my invention! Conan just didn't expect that I would tell you such a shameful thing." He smiled dryly and touched the back of his head.
Dr. Ali doesn't want Jiang Xia to know about the organization. According to his upright brain circuit, coupled with the concepts that Haibara Ai reinforced for him after moving in, in his eyes, the organization's information is basically equivalent to an "invitation to silence."
When Jiang Xia heard the doctor's words, he nodded hesitantly.
——In the previous KTV incident, after Conan took off his waistcoat without permission, Jiang Xia thought of a similar problem: knowing clearly that "Conan = Kudo Shinichi", yet he didn't care about this incident that despised physics and biology.
This is indeed a bit fishy.
But Jiang Xia didn't want to follow the red side and get involved in the organization's affairs. And if he directly asked Conan, "Why did you become a child?", then this loose-talking detective might tell him everything and forcibly drag him into the team.
Taking this into consideration, Jiang Xia did not go to Conan to ask. Instead, while accompanying Dr. Ali to test the new invention, Jiang Xia casually mentioned, "Why has Kudo become smaller?" This kind of behavior without directly asking the person concerned can also be forced.
Explained as "I don't want to poke Kudo-san's scars."
Moreover, in Jiang Xia's impression, the doctor once persuaded Conan not to expose his identity to Mao Lilan on the grounds that "knowing too much could easily result in the organization silencing him." Therefore, Jiang Xia felt that if he asked the doctor relevant questions, the doctor would not reveal anything about the black organization.
news, so that Jiang Xia can continue his ordinary life of picking up ghosts.
At that time, Dr. Agasa was suddenly questioned and felt very guilty. He was not very good at lying. In desperation, he took the blame for Kudo Shinichi's shrinkage onto himself.
This reason is actually a bit ridiculous, but Jiang Xia hesitated and decided to pretend to believe it - Conan is convinced that Dr. Ali can develop an antidote to make him bigger, so he believes that the doctor can make a poison that makes people smaller, isn't it right?
Also very reasonable.
Dr. A Li and Jiang Xia, one willing to make up and the other willing to believe, worked together to overcome their respective difficulties.
After that, the doctor, who was immersed in the invention, forgot about it.
It wasn't until today, when Jiang Xia and Conan suddenly mentioned this, that he suddenly remembered the lies he had made up over the years.
Conan received confirmation from Dr. Agasa and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he was a little moved again.
Although Jiang Xia is fierce and violent, and he likes to blame others randomly, but now it seems that he is sometimes quite attentive. He actually chose to ask the doctor tactfully because he considered the mood of "the poison victim Kudo Shinichi"
, but he himself suspected that there was something wrong with him... Although he said that there was nothing wrong with being careful, Conan couldn't help but feel guilty.
Originally, Conan was still hesitant to tell Jiang Xia about the organization.
But after what happened, he decided to forget it for now.
Jiang Xia's mentality is not very healthy to begin with, and he has tried to restart his life manually before. If he is told that there are huge and dark organizations like black organizations in the world that are hidden in the dark, Jiang Xia, as a detective, will be
The sense of responsibility is oppressive, but on the other hand, he can empathize with the victims of those organizations as much as he cares for Kudo Shinichi... This is really too heavy for Jiang Xia.
Conan then decisively swallowed up the organization's information.
Just at this time, another client came to visit. Conan waved goodbye to Jiang Xia and prepared to leave: "I wanted to come to the Metropolitan Police Department to ask about the bombing case. It happened that your detective agency was also nearby, so I came to take a look. You
If there is no information related to the explosion, we will leave first."
Jiang Xia is very satisfied with this result.
But he still had to act. He stared at the two neighbors for a while, with an expression that said, "You seem to have a secret, but since you don't want to tell it, I'll be merciful and don't ask." He nodded: "It's something."
Find me anytime."
The two neighbors were moved and left.
Jiang Xia watched them go to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Conan will definitely not give up on continuing to pursue this explosion case, but that is something that people with other mop-up tools need to pay attention to, and it has nothing to do with him, Jiang Xia.
Speaking of which, Ginjiu didn't let him clean the battlefield today... combined with the way Ginjiu looked at Tequila after his death, Jiang Xia vaguely smelled something unusual.
After a few days, Jiang Xia found that her intuition was quite accurate.
——Gin suddenly sent him an email.
Different from the past, this time, there was no task content in the email, only the time and location.
But this does not mean that there is no task. On the contrary, it may be because the confidentiality requirements of the task are relatively high. In order to avoid leakage, I deliberately waited until I got to the place before interviewing.
Jiang Xia put away her phone and fell into deep thought.
I don't know if Gin's murderous aura has grown over the past few days. But since there is a task, and it is related to Gin, it is probably related to murder. This boss should not let him down...
…
The meeting time was set for the evening.
When the moon was dark and the wind was high, Jiang Xia quietly went out and followed the address to find the Abedo Building.
This place is right in the center of the business district. Although it is a bit late, there are still many people coming and going.
