Conan squinted his ears to eavesdrop, then pulled Jiang Xia and asked in a low voice: "Have you received the commission?"
Haiyuan Ai didn't know when she put on her hood, and like a cautious red mushroom, she quietly came over.
She was not interested in the commission, but Haihara Ai knew more than Conan - she was worried that this was another mission of the organization. If that was the case, she felt that she had better get away quickly to avoid encountering people who might be passing by.
Organize acquaintances.
Jiang Xia looked at Conan, and then ruffled Hui Yuan Ai's fluffy red hood a few times as if nothing had happened, in retaliation for Hai Yuan Ai's bad words about him on his cat vest the morning before yesterday.
After rubbing out the static electricity, he took back his hand and said seriously: "It's a somewhat troublesome commission..."
…
Jiang Xia briefly talked about what happened before.
After he finished speaking, he looked up and found that Koda Masao and Okiya Subaru beside him had ended their conversation at some point.
At this time, Koda Masao was ringing the doorbell again and again, urging Watanuki Yiichi to go out.
Okiya Subaru got the chance and walked up to talk to Jiang Xia with a gentle look on his face: "You also like children."
In Okiya Subaru's eyes, Jiang Xia is undoubtedly a golden channel leading to "mission accomplishment", and his friendliness is very real.
In addition, with this sentence, Subaru Okiya was trying to patch up his kidnapping, so as not to be discovered by this keen detective.
——Although I won’t be arrested by the police as long as I’m not caught with a definite violation of the law, but what if Uzo is extra strict?
Subaru Okiya didn't dare to bet on Usa's kindness, so he could only try his best to do everything to the best of his ability. He didn't dare to paddle at all, for fear of hitting Usa's minefield with the pole... and then himself
Then I can formulate a suicide note again.
…
Jiang Xia heard him talking and nodded, with the same friendly attitude: "They are all very smart children." As he said that, he glanced at the young detective team who had shrunk behind the corner in the distance, then glanced at Conan, and pressed
With a good conscience, "they are also very sensible."
After being stared at by him, the three heads peeking secretly from the corner shrank back.
Okiya Subaru said "hmm" and began to try to bring the topic to "corpse": "However, telling these things to children can easily cause a psychological shadow on them."
"Generally speaking, that's true." Jiang Xia touched Conan's head: "But he is... well, he is my classmate's distant brother. My classmate is a detective. He doesn't shy away from these things. He always takes this child with him.
Go to the murder scene, so he has gradually got used to it - sometimes, a child's perspective can also find some precious clues."
A person quickly appeared in his mind - Kudo Shinichi.
In the past, Subaru Okiya didn't really have much interest in detectives and murder cases.
But ever since his roommate with seven legs walked out vertically and was carried horizontally to the funeral parlor, Subaru Okiya couldn't help but subscribe to newspapers on this topic and occasionally browse relevant information.
Therefore, he was relatively familiar with these high school detectives from the same area, and he naturally remembered the statement that "Kudo Shinichi's classmate was possessed by the undead" that was once a hot topic in the media.
Thinking of this, Subaru Okiya realized that Kudo Shinichi was dead, and judging from what Jiang Xia had just said, the two had a good relationship.
He then politely added: "My condolences."
Jiang Xia's eyes drifted to the horizon, nodded, and sighed, as if she was mourning her friend who was going to heaven.
Okiya Subaru also sighed in his heart: Only a young man who can grieve and miss can be like a real person.
In comparison, Wu Zuo doesn't look much older than Jiang Xia. The difference is almost like a human and a devil...
Okiya Subaru stood next to Jiang Xia, feeling the aura of a normal young man, in order to gradually erase the psychological shadow that Uzo left on him.
Next to him, Conan was originally worried that Jiang Xia had too much conscience and did not want to lie. He accidentally revealed the fact that "Kudo Shinichi is still alive" and attracted the attention of the black organization.
But now it seems that things have gone smoothly - Jiang Xia looked up at the horizon just now, his eyes wandering. This evasive look of being forced to lie can match the key word "escape", which can be interpreted as "escape from the reality of the death of a friend."
.
In short, after a simple exchange of greetings, the three of them felt that they had a pleasant communication.
Only Hui Yuan Ai, looking at Jiang Xia's hesitant lie, always felt that something was not right.
...However, since Jiang Xia didn't give any reminder, this incident should have nothing to do with the organization. She hesitantly took off her hood, and then silently smoothed her hair that had been messed up just now.
…
Okiya Subaru successfully struck up a conversation, and was about to follow Jiang Xia's avoidance of the "death of a friend" and change the topic to the "corpse" that Koda Masao was looking for.
But before he could speak, a tense voice came from the side.
——Masao Koda was staring at the courtyard through the iron gate.
Seeing Giichi Watanuki finally walking out of the small door on the side of the house, Koda Masao gritted his teeth and reminded the few temporary accomplices around him: "He's out."
Okiya Subaru was startled and could only temporarily stop his plan to continue talking to Jiang Xia. He looked through the iron gate and looked into the courtyard of the villa.
An old man with gray hair and a burly figure came out, with a grim look on his face.
Koda Masao glared at him as he approached - in Koda Masao's eyes, Watanuki Giichi must be his sister-killing enemy.
…
Wan Guanyi looked at the group of people outside through the fence gate and frowned.
As he walked around, he put his hand into his pocket naturally, and put the baseball in his hand into his pocket.
Just now, Watanuki Yiichi had been staying on the second floor of the villa, peeping at the group of children playing ball on the construction site.
Therefore, I also saw a baseball flying into my yard.
He came out so slowly because after hearing the doorbell, he took a moment to find the ball in the yard.
——Yiichi Watanuki planned to use this baseball to negotiate with the children and ask them to get away and stay away from this area.
As for the adult who accompanies the child to cause mischief... it's even simpler. Just tell him that if he breaks into the construction site again, he will call the police, and he will be able to drive away these annoying guys.
Unexpectedly, when he found the ball and was about to come out to negotiate, two more people appeared outside the courtyard gate.
Watanuki Yiichi looked carefully for a moment, and his eyes quickly fell on Koda Masao. He recognized the man who had been pestering him for more than a month, and showed an expression of vigilance and disgust.
Watanuki Yiichi didn't mention baseball anymore, clenched his fists tightly, and walked to the door angrily, looking at Masao Koda: "I've told you many times, that good-for-nothing woman has never been here! You are delusional about being persecuted.
