Chapter 70 In the comic version, it's gin and this wine
During the days when Conan was in chaos and trying to explain the "prophecy phenomenon" scientifically, Jiang Xia drove the puppet to the black market and got his new bankbook.
The gold coins have been processed. After deducting various commissions, there are still more than 700 million left. The middleman's fees are a bit shady, but after all, this is the first time Anonymous has appeared on the black market, and he has no connections or credibility, so the price is fairly reasonable.
After getting the money, Jiang Xia took the time to visit museums, jewelry stores, art galleries and other places.
But just like a year ago, I couldn’t find what I wanted.
The huge sum of money in the bankbook suddenly became boring.
Finally, in order to suppress the desire to consume after suddenly getting rich, Jiang Xia went to the green plant market and bought a few potted plants that were not cost-effective but very beautiful. She wanted to buy potted plants that she had not bought before.
Hunting the potted plants until they bloom, Suzuki Sonoko sent a message: [See you at the station tomorrow?!]
Jiang Xia was startled.
Soon he remembered that after the last time the KTV turned into a murder scene, Suzuki Sonoko reluctantly provided another ghost hunter... ahem, the place to play - the villa in the mountains of Kyoto bought by her sister.
Sonoko Suzuki is the daughter of the chairman of the Suzuki Foundation. The Suzuki Foundation is synonymous with "rich people" in the world.
They have a lot of villas, and the most eye-catching thing is that murders happen in almost every one of them.
Jiang Xia is a little envious.
At the same time, he was still a little confused - there were too many villas in the Suzuki family, and he was not sure which one had the accident this time.
But since it is related to Suzuki Sonoko’s sister, then there should only be those two or three cases. We will know the details when we go there.
Even, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember it at all.
Jiang Xia just wants to follow and pick up ghosts.
He only needs to ensure that he does not die, and occasionally saves the cute classmates who will take the initiative to murder him...
…
Jiang Xia asked for leave from Toru Amuro in advance.
At noon the next day, he packed his luggage and arrived at the Shinkansen station.
Soon, Jiang Xia found three people traveling with him - Mao Lilan, Suzuki Yuanzi, and the never-absent Conan.
After Conan became smaller, he gradually began to let himself go.
In the past, when Kudo Shinichi was a high school student, he was embarrassed to play with girls.
But now, whenever Mao Lilan travels, Conan will definitely become her pet and stick to her in an upright manner.
The car ride was a bit boring. On the way, Suzuki Sonoko tried to have a long conversation with Jiang Xia, but failed.
——It can be seen that Jiang Xia is trying to chat with her, but they have not found a common topic between them, and the chat process is very difficult. In the end, Suzuki Sonoko tearfully decided to stop talking, so as not to cause Jiang Xia's psychological shadow.
To develop sustainably.
So the topic quickly turned to another person—Conan, a child who appeared out of thin air.
Conan doesn’t mind being discussed about his life experience by his classmates, it’s all made up anyway.
But seeing Jiang Xia also listening to the chat, Conan gradually became a little restless.
Last time, after leaving KTV, Conan felt like his vest had been torn off.
He originally thought that Jiang Xia would ask him about his shrinkage afterwards, but he didn't. Everything went as usual in Jiang Xia, as if he didn't find anything.
Conan then comforted himself in his heart - even if "Edogawa Conan" and "Kudo Shinichi" looked exactly the same when he was a child, Jiang Xia, as his neighbor, had seen him when he was a child; even if Conan was around the time when Kudo Shinichi disappeared.
, suddenly appeared at the doctor's house; even if Conan is often careless and behaves not like an ordinary elementary school student, but like a generalist who knows a lot, even if...
Conan: “……”
He could not help but hold his head again.
……I can no longer deceive myself and others.
It is impossible for Jiangxia not to guess that "Conan" is related to "Kudo Shinichi".
As for why he didn't ask... maybe he felt that the two of them were not familiar with each other and didn't want to pry into the neighbor's secrets.
It may also be that Jiang Xia, as a detective, still cannot accept the absurdity of adults becoming smaller and violating the law of conservation of matter, so he is deliberately evading it.
But now, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan suddenly talked about the life experience of "Edogawa Conan" full of loopholes...
Conan always feels that with such an incident, even if Jiang Xia respects science, he will definitely compare "Conan" and "Kudo Shinichi".
Conan sighed and was confused. What should he say if Jiang Xia really came to ask?
If we tell the truth, then the topic will definitely involve that terrible organization, and at the same time Jiang Xia will be involved, causing Jiang Xia to become the target of the black organization because she knows too much.
Thinking of this, Conan looked up worriedly and found Jiang Xia looking at him.
Conan forced out a guilty smile.
At the same time, he thought to himself, no, Jiang Xia is innocent. Until the last moment, he should try his best to cover his waistcoat...
In order to achieve this goal... First of all, Jiang Xia cannot be allowed to see his guilty expression, otherwise his suspicion will be aggravated.
Thinking of this, Conan jumped out of his seat and said to Mao Lilan obediently: "Sister Xiaolan, let me go to the bathroom." Then he ran away decisively.
——As long as Jiang Xia can't see him, he won't be able to observe him, he won't be able to discover his guilty conscience, and he won't be able to pierce the last window, and he won't be involved in the affairs of the black organization.
The more Conan thought about it, the more he realized that although his escape was shameless, it was very effective.
After leaving Jiang Xia's sight, Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this time, the train happened to stop at Nagoya, and two people got on the train one after another.
Conan was stunned when he saw the people getting on the car clearly.
——Those are two very familiar tall men in black.
Conan looked at one of them with sunglasses and wide chin, and then at the other with long silver hair. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and cold sweat ran down his cheeks.
…These are the two culprits who gave him the strange poison and made him shrink!
