Chapter 143 Difficult Choices (Character Star Value 1)
Jiang Xia arrived home earlier than his neighbors and went to bed earlier than his neighbors. Moreover, because the puppet was hit, he took a stick of ghost mint in order to replenish the lost energy. In short, the next day, Jiang Xia became the most energetic person.
that one.
He brought the invitation letter he drew to the Sherlock Holmes trip. He originally wanted to go to the Maori Detective Agency to find Conan, but when passing by the doctor's house, Jiang Xia remembered what happened yesterday, turned in and took a look, and saw that Conan was indeed here.
Compared with Jiang Xia, the three people who came home early in the morning looked a little haggard, looking like they could fall asleep at any time.
Miyano Akemi poked her head out from behind Jiang Xia, glanced at the living room, skillfully floated on Haibara Ai's head, and happily touched the top of her sister's soft hair.
Before Jiang Xia arrived, Conan and the others were still discussing what happened last night, but as soon as Jiang Xia arrived, all three of them shut up.
In order to help Jiang Xia hold on to the organization's vest, Hui Yuan Ai would not discuss the organization with Jiang Xia when other people were present.
In addition, in today's situation, even if Conan and the doctor are not here, she will not take the initiative to mention what happened last night - after all, she targeted the organization's information yesterday. And Jiang Xia is still a member of the organization, in front of Jiang Xia's
When I mentioned the matter of "stealing organizational information", I still felt a little guilty.
Of course, Conan and Dr. Ali would not say that in their opinion, Jiang Xia should receive some sunny and cheerful information rather than such a terrible thing as the black organization.
Therefore, although Conan wanted to drag Jiang Xia to the scene of Bai Cangyang's death yesterday and let Jiang Xia see what was wrong, in the end, he held back.
——Bai Cangyang's death was too coincidental, and he was probably silenced by the organization. If Jiang Xia really went to the scene and discovered the clues, he might become the next target of silence, or lead to another person with unknown origins in the doctor's family.
of children.
If the neighbors didn't mention those things, Jiang Xia certainly wouldn't talk about them either.
However, the abnormality of these three people was so obvious that Jiang Xia had to ask "What happened?" and then considerately cooperate with them to change the topic - after going through the process, Jiang Xia finally got down to business.
Jiang Xia took out the invitation letter for Sherlock Holmes' trip and tried to lure this fake child who was very attractive to the case to go with him.
Conan saw his invitation and perked up: "Did you also win?"
Conan was happy for a second because he "could travel with friends", then suddenly felt depressed again.
There is only one ultimate reward, "A Study in Scarlet" first edition collection book, which means that only one person can receive the reward.
Now Jiang Xia is going too...
Conan seemed to have seen the tragic scene of Aishu waving a handkerchief to him and then running towards Jiang Xia's arms.
However, after a while, Conan gradually became more ambiguous - the test of Sherlock Holmes' journey is not to solve the case, but to answer the questions. And the most important thing is that there is no such rule as "the one who submits the paper first wins".
And as long as there is no time limit, he may not lose to Jiang Xia.
Also, even if he loses... Jiang Xia's house is so close to him, and when he visits Jiang Xia's house, he will be able to see his treasured book. And as the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and other contestants are also very strong opponents.
, rather than letting "A Study in Scarlet" fall into the hands of others, of course it is better for Jiang Xia to hold it...
Jiang Xia looked at Conan's face that alternated between happiness and sadness, and suspected that Kudo-kun had made himself stupid by staying up too late.
Conan came to his senses under the strange gazes of the other three people. With a slightly embarrassed voice, he looked at Jiang Xia and said, "Well, I didn't expect you to like Sherlock Holmes too. No wonder the case was solved so quickly."
Jiang Xia: "..." Although he didn't understand what Holmes had to do with solving the case, he remembered that Conan just said "yeah".
It seems that Conan really won the invitation.
Jiang Xia immediately felt relieved.
Dr. Ali listened to their conversation and saw the date on the invitation letter. He looked at Conan with confusion: "But on this day... isn't it scheduled to go treasure hunting at my uncle's villa with the children?"
The Young Detective Team are relatively familiar with each other. After they got to know Conan, they often followed Conan to Dr. Ali's place to play. Dr. Ali also liked this group of energetic children and saw them discussing all day long about doing something big, so he
The doctor bought some toys with his own money, hid the toys in his uncle's old villa, and racked his brains to arrange some secret codes, planning to hold a "treasure hunt" game.
Conan froze slightly when he remembered that this was indeed the case.
He was torn between "friendship" and "Sherlock Holmes" for 0.1 seconds, and decisively released a dove of peace: "Why don't we change the time, or let Haiyuan go with us?"
Conan is not interested in Dr. Agasa's treasures or mysteries. His mind is now occupied with the Sherlock Holmes collection.
The villa is some distance away from here. Dr. Ali has no other free schedule in the near future, so he can only accept Conan's last suggestion and look at Haibara Ai.
The doctor brought Conan there because he wanted to use Conan as a last resort - in case the children couldn't find his gifts, they couldn't really let the children go home empty-handed. There had to be a mole to help them solve the puzzle.
Now that Conan is not going, Haihara Ai has become the doctor's hope.
Hui Yuan Ai felt the old man's eyes asking for help, sighed, and closed the book in his hand: "Okay."
Jiang Xia looked at Conan, then at Huihara Ai, and fell into deep thought.
...He did not expect that the troops would be divided into two groups.
It was already heavy enough to have to choose between ghosts and murderous intent, but now he was asked to do this kind of additional question.
Jiang Xia actually had an impression of what Dr. A Li said about treasure hunting in the villa - he remembered that a craftsman died of illness in the attic of that villa and has not been found yet.
At the same time, a gun-wielding villain has been wandering around the villa because the craftsman has a set of counterfeit banknote templates.
Jiang Xia didn't know whether craftsmen would become ghosts. But he knew that gun-wielding villains must have murderous intent.
Moreover, for the doctor and the young detective team, gunmen are a bit dangerous. If they are not careful, the case detectors who go hunting for treasure may be gone.
On the other side, during Sherlock Holmes' journey, serial murders will appear...
In Jiang Xia's heart, heaven and man are at war.
However, when Haiyuan asked about the location of Dr. Ali's villa, Jiang Xia eavesdropped and suddenly discovered that Dr. Ali's villa was not too far from the venue of Sherlock Holmes' journey.
In other words, this turned out to be a rare multiple-choice question - as long as he made good use of the dual-opening and performed it properly, he could have them all.
After coming to this conclusion, Jiang Xia returned home with peace of mind.
…
On the day when the Sherlock Holmes trip began, Jiang Xia arrived at the meeting point given by the organizer on time, and then got into the van provided by the organizer.
