Jiang Xia rejected the proposal. He found the travel agency's phone number from Mao Lilan's ticket and took out his mobile phone: "I'll book another set of tickets."
Suzuki Sonoko's family is relatively harmonious and there are few people. If you take their boat, you are likely to arrive safely and without incident along the way.
And if you take a special tourist boat, there will be a mixed crowd on the boat, and you may be able to meet some people who have long-standing grudges and are just waiting to take advantage of the chaos during the journey to take revenge... In that way, Jiang Xia can pick up some ghosts along the way, or tap some murderous intent,
By the way, find out the murderer as soon as possible and be a good citizen who maintains law and order.
Judging from the specifications of the Rice Krispies Department Store and the promotional poster at the lottery counter in front of me, this itinerary is not cheap.
But now, it is difficult for Jiang Xia to label himself as "lack of money": Kinoshita Yoko gives him hook-up programs from time to time, more and more rich ladies come to the office to look for cats, and each time they complete an "assassination" mission
They all have hefty bonuses - Ginjiu will deduct the bonuses of those who fail to complete tasks on time and give them to him. Jiang Xia is equivalent to one person receiving several salaries.
In addition, every time Toru Amuro asked him to work part-time, he would ask his boss to settle the salary on the same day. So Jiang Xia often worked part-time for one day and got two to three months' money. If he returned the money, Toru Amuro would take advantage of him. "Don't take such a small amount."
He stared back with eyes like "Money is bothering me"; even Dr. Ali occasionally stuffed "Thank you money for the invention of explosive first aid" into his mailbox...
In short, ever since Jiang Xia exuded the aura of "I want to make money", it seems that everyone has been giving him money in different ways. After so many days, Jiang Xia has collected no less than 700 million from the Maple Leaf Gold Coin Case.
, and it has become more.
Although Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko didn't know all of Jiang Xia's sources of funds, they could guess by just looking at the firm's current reputation and the number of times Jiang Xia had appeared on detective programs that Jiang Xia had no shortage of these extraneous things, so they did not stop him from booking tickets.
However, Jiang Xia still failed to buy tickets.
——The Mermaid Island festival is quite famous. The itinerary that Mao Lilan drew was sold out as early as last month. Jiang Xia wants to go, unless he changes to another boat and finds a hotel by himself.
Jiang Xia sighed and hung up the phone unwillingly.
Suzuki Sonoko keenly discovered that Jiang Xia's mood level had dropped.
She then sneaked closer and planned to propose taking her own boat again - if Jiang Xia was afraid that she would spend money and was too embarrassed to sit, then she could also temporarily buy a civilian-level boat...
But at this time, she noticed that Jiang Xia turned to look at the lottery table.
After watching for a while, an illusory light bulb of inspiration seemed to appear above Jiang Xia's head.
Then he walked towards the prize cabinet.
The person at the counter was a middle-aged aunt. She didn't care that Jiang Xia was fishing during working hours. She treated the temporary security guard as an ordinary customer and said hello with a smile.
Jiang Xia looked at the prize bulletin board and found that the highest award was the special prize, and the first prize that Mao Lilan drew actually had two places.
Jiang Xia asked: "Is the remaining first prize still there?"
"Yes." The waiter was a little surprised. She instantly understood Jiang Xia's intention and whispered to dissuade her, "The probability of winning is really very low, and we have set up several lottery booths. The other first prize may not be in this prize box. Maybe there is time.
You can’t get it...compared to a lottery, it’s actually better to book other tickets directly.”
"It doesn't matter, I'll give it a try." Jiang Xia casually took two cups, paid the bill, and got one lucky draw number.
Suzuki Sonoko originally wanted to dissuade him.
But seeing Jiang Xia working hard to travel on the same boat as her (them), Suzuki Sonoko held her chin in her hands, eyes full of sweet hearts, and forgot what she wanted to say for a moment.
After two or three seconds, Suzuki Sonoko calmed down.
She turned around, secretly took out her mobile phone, and wanted to find someone to secretly contact the travel agency and pay them to add a seat on the ship. If that didn't work, she might as well change to a bigger ship, which would definitely increase the number of seats.
However, before she could finish editing the text message, she suddenly heard the surprised voice of the waiter behind her.
Suzuki Sonoko turned around and saw that Jiang Xia had finished drawing the prizes.
The waiter looked at the lottery ticket in Jiang Xia's hand in shock. She had seen the same thing in Mao Lilan's hand just now: "One, first prize!"
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
Conan: "..."
...Is there really such a person in the world who gets whatever he wants?
Mao Lilan was not too surprised. She looked like she was used to it. She looked closely at the ticket the waiter had just printed and said in surprise: "The seats are next to each other!"
Jiang Xia happily collected the tickets and picked up the cup, ready to give it to her colleagues.
After deciding on the trip to Mermaid Island, Jiang Xia continued to work, while Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were preparing to go home.
Conan stayed alone, waiting to meet the members of the Young Detective Corps - today, there was a real-life performance of Masked Superman in the Rice Krispies Department Store, and the Young Detective Corps insisted on dragging him to watch it, but Conan couldn't resist the naughty kids, so he had to come.
.
…
Jiang Xia's schedule was the morning and evening shifts. He originally thought that today's gain was to get a ticket to Mermaid Island.
But when he came over in the evening, Jiang Xia suddenly caught a glimpse of the young detective team.
...could there be other cases?
Jiang Xia then left a ghost next to the child - in the same building, even if the ghost followed the young detective team, it would not leave Jiang Xia too far, so the consumption of ghosts was not that great.
Jiang Xia was prepared to rush over as soon as he encountered a murder case.
However, until the department store was about to close, there was no movement from the Young Detective Team.
On the contrary, the atmosphere in the security room was a bit strange.
…
Jiang Xia was sitting in the security room on the second floor, looking at the smiling elevator lady in front of her, and then looking down at the hot drink on the table.
The sister in front of me named Nakamura Mio is less than thirty. It is said that she just applied for the job a few days ago. She has a generous and cheerful personality and often brings something to share with her colleagues, so today, she gave the security guards refreshing drinks.
The action was not unexpected.
but……
Jiang Xia glanced at the ghost next to him.
——Xiaobai told him that Nakamura Mio secretly threw an unknown drug into the drink just now.
Nakamura Mio didn't stay in front of Jiang Xia for too long. There were many people on the night shift. After she saw Jiang Xia pick up the cup, she walked aside and poured tea for others.
When no one was paying attention to her, Jiang Xia picked up the tea cup and poured it under the table.
As the drink fell, a clay puppet in the shape of a rough puffer fish condensed in front of his legs.
The "pufferfish" swallowed all the drink into its stomach, shut up and sealed it, then landed silently under Jiang Xia's control, rolled the drink with it to a blind corner deep in the table where no one could see, and gradually dissipated.
