Then I heard Jiang Xia whisper: "I was thinking, you used to complain about Uncle Maoli a lot, but I didn't expect you are so skillful in flattering him now - time is really a butcher's knife."
Conan: "...?"
He should have thought that when Jiang Xia was serious, he was never thinking about anything serious!
He couldn't help but said: "...can you pay attention to some serious business!"
Jiang Xia was startled: "What's the matter? Those naughty kids smashing the wall late at night, or two passers-by who are afraid of cats?"
Conan: "..."
Topics related to "Men in Black" came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
...forget it.
If you think about it carefully, the people in that organization are very secretive in their pursuits. They may just pay attention to Jiang Xia, a keen detective who stands in the spotlight, and will not get close. After all, when he was still the famous detective Kudo Shinichi, his reputation was not small.
, but no man in black came to contact him at that time. Instead, he came to the door himself...
well.
"In short, if the possibility of Jiang Xia coming into contact with the black organization is 10% now, then after I tell him about the black organization, the possibility of him coming into contact with that organization will suddenly become 9%."
Conan quickly weighed in his mind: "Thinking about it from my perspective, if someone suddenly told me that there is a mysterious organization in society that can make people smaller and do all kinds of evil, then I would definitely not be able to help but investigate, and Jiang Xia would definitely be the same.
"There are already precedents for the consequences of high school detectives confronting them directly... I'd better observe in secret first to confirm that Jiang Xia has indeed had contact with them."
Conan was about to choke to death, but he could only hold back. He said sternly: "Don't underestimate tonight's commission, what if it is two robbers who broke into the house? Although those kind of thieves are not good at conspiracy,
But sudden resistance is difficult to deal with, and it will be even more dangerous if they have smuggled guns."
"..." Jiang Xia sighed, "I think you are thinking too much."
What kind of burglars, what kind of gun-toting gangsters? They are obviously just a good and considerate boss, and a new employee who is not up to expectations.
…
Soon we arrived at the block where Omura Jun was located, and the further we walked, the more familiar it became.
Jiang Xia glanced at the broken electric light outside the car window: "..." Sure enough, it was the place where Maya Hashimoto was caught last night.
Could it be that this cup of iced black tea actually has quite an event constitution?
He touched his chin and fell into thought.
Several people got out of the car and first looked in the direction where Omura Jun said the collision sound came from. However, the buildings and walls here were quite strong, and they found no signs of damage.
"Then let's go up and have a few drinks first, and wait while you drink." Mouri Kogoro waved his hand, "We won't go home until we get drunk today!"
Omura Jun: "..." Do you still remember that you are here to investigate?
...Fortunately, there is a famous detective who can give one away, and this one is still a high school student, so he can't drink and can concentrate on his work.
Omura Jundun felt relieved and became enthusiastic: "Come on."
…
Omura Jun brought out a box of beer. Two middle-aged old classmates drank happily. Time passed unknowingly, and it was evening soon.
The night was getting darker, and both of them were very drunk. They didn't wait for the suspicious person to knock on the wall in the middle of the night, but they finished their wine first.
Omura Jun shook the empty bottle and burped: "It's gone. I'll buy some."
As he spoke, he stood up.
Seeing this, Mao Lilan stood up quickly and said, "I'll go." Although she didn't want Maori Kogoro to drink so much, she couldn't let the host make a special trip just for her father who was not polite at all when he drank.
She quickly went downstairs, and Jiang Xia and Conan followed.
He looked at Mao Lilan and Conan, then at himself, and suddenly realized a question: "Don't you have to be over twenty to buy alcohol?"
In his impression, unless you look much older than 20 years old and look like an adult, or you are lucky enough to meet a bold shop owner, there is a high chance that you will be asked to buy cigarettes and alcohol.
Show proof that the purchaser is over 20 years old.
Mao Lilan was startled: "There is indeed such a rule, but the chance of having your ID checked is not that high. As long as you press the confirmation button fast enough, the clerk sometimes can't react - even if someone finds out, as long as you make it clear that it is
If I buy it for my parents, they will be accommodating."
Jiang Xia thought thoughtfully: "So that's it."
...Suddenly he felt a little stupid for driving a puppet to buy beer. Next time he would say that he was buying wine for his parents.
Next to him, Conan was keenly aware of a hint of violation. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Xia: "?" Wait, what do you want to do?
…
The convenience store was not far from the apartment, and the three of them soon arrived at the store.
Mao Lilan took a few cans of beer and went to the front desk to pay as usual. Jiang Xia followed beside him, carefully observing the action.
Then the clerk looked at Mao Lilan, then at Jiang Xia, and suddenly said: "Can I see your ID?"
Mao Lilan smiled and said: "I bought it for my father."
The clerk looked worried and began to apologize: "I'm very sorry. We have regulations. Cigarettes and alcohol can only be sold to customers over the age of twenty."
Jiang Xia: "?"
Mao Lilan: "Huh?"...Wait a minute, this process is not quite right!
Conan saw through the truth. He suppressed his laughter and said in a childish voice: "Brother Jiang Xia is a celebrity. If I'm accommodating to you today, it might be on the news tomorrow...ah!"
Jiang Xiabang tapped his forehead with his finger and manually muted the sound.
The more he was not allowed to buy it, the more he wanted to buy it. Thinking this, Jiang Xia's eyes moved and fell on his drinking tool ghost.
Matsuda Jinpei noticed his sight and looked back: "...?"
Nowadays, he has played Uzo a lot. Although he can only perform pantomime most of the time, he has also begun to work hard to figure out the character: the script writer who is hidden behind the scenes passes by a convenience store and suddenly does a good deed and helps three people who can't buy alcohol.
students buy alcohol... Doesn’t this sound a bit strange?
"I don't think it's surprising at all." Jiang Xia firmly believes that the problem is not big. "Wu Zuo is always very helpful. Besides, isn't it interesting to interact with detectives? There are always many cases around the detective, which can be his inspiration."
Matsuda Jinpei: But Matsuda Jinpei's version of "Usa" can't speak human language. Normally, it's okay to come and talk to him and give him drinks, but if he just buys the drinks and hands them to him without saying a word, he leaves...
Jiang Xia: "..."
...This is indeed a problem.
He sighed inwardly, looking at these ghosts who could only whisper nonsense, he couldn't help but condemn: "So when will you learn to speak human language?"
Ghosts: "...?"
Don't force yourself into trouble.
