Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1513 1513 [Okiya Subaru: Avoid the Death Team]

  When Mrs. Nanjo said this, her tone was a little hypocritical. After all, Hayato Nanjo's attitude just now was really bad.

   Fortunately, the high school student opposite her seems to have a good temper.

  Jiang Xia not only didn't say anything angry like "Since he looks down on us, then let's go!", but turned his head to comfort her in a warm voice:

"Suddenly receiving that kind of threatening letter, everyone will feel nervous. If you are nervous, you tend to have a bad attitude. I understand—and I received the commission from you. No matter what Mr. Nanjo's attitude is, as long as you feel the need to continue, I will not leave."

  Mrs. Nanjo couldn't help showing a moving look.

  Yoko Kinoshita watched from the side, and nodded secretly in relief:

  She knew that a righteous detective like Jiang Xia would never let the threats go. On the contrary, Jiang Xia will stay until the last moment where there may be cases—this is the persistence of detectives.

  Yoko Kinoshita: "..." When I make a collection of newspaper clippings later, I should also include this growth point.

Ok? No, no, it's just a threatening letter, so something may not happen. Or on the other hand, she should hope that nothing happens...

  Yoko Kinoshita stopped her thoughts, tapped her head secretly, and shook out the strange thoughts.

   Fortunately, Mrs. Nanjo doesn't know what this popular idol who has experienced a lot is thinking about.

  Seeing that Jiang Xia agreed to continue entrusting, Mrs. Nantiao also put her energy on catching the person who wrote the threatening letter.

  She analyzed: "Fortunately, here is the UK, and there are not many people who can write threatening letters in Japanese and who have a feud with my husband."

  Huihara Ai listened silently, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Could it be that there are many people in China who have had festivals with Hayato Nanjo?

  ...That's right, judging by the way that Mr. Nanjo spoke just now, he should have made a lot of enemies on weekdays, and it is quite a miracle that he can survive till now. It is no wonder that even if the scope is limited to "people who can speak Japanese nearby", the number of suspects can use the word "extraordinarily large".

Beside   , Mrs. Nanjo looked around and lowered her voice: "Actually, I suspect that the person who sent the letter is a member of the crew, otherwise how would I recognize my husband's suitcase. It just so happens that you look..."

  She looked at the team led by an underage male high school student. The team consisted of old people, children, and female high school students, and said euphemistically:

"Fortunately, you don't seem to be here to arrest people, so that the person who sent the letter can relax his vigilance—how about this, in the name of visiting, I will take you around for a while, and I hope you can find the person who sent the threatening letter. people."

"visit?"

  Although Mao Lilan was a little worried about the famous actor who received the threatening letter, she was still unavoidably happy when she heard this sentence.

  —It is impossible for a crew to have only one or two celebrities. It seems that in the next few hours, she will be able to collect the autographs of many famous people... It is so much fun to go out with Jiang Xia! Except that the cases encountered are a little bit more...

  …

  Several people had different thoughts, so they started to visit the building.

  Although there are Mrs. Nanjo and Yoko Kinoshita providing convenience, the entire crew has a lot of people, and there are even some fans and reporters who followed, so it is difficult to really find out the situation in a short time.

   Speaking of suspects...

   Walking down the stairwell to the next floor, Jiang Xia glanced at the tea room at the end of the corridor at the other end: "..."

  ...What is Okiya Subaru doing hiding there all this time? How long has it been? Don't your feet feel numb? I always feel that he is hiding from his group as plague gods.

  Thinking of this, Jiang Xia followed the tattoo and told Wu Tiangou from a distance, telling him to keep following him closely and not to lose him.

  Kiri Tengu sat next to Okiya Subaru, and nodded quickly when he received the news.

   Then moved a little closer, and solemnly hugged the target's trousers tightly.

  …

   Until it was completely dark, the crew still couldn't finish the investigation. After all, this group of people has their own jobs, and they are even working overtime. They are always on the move, so it is difficult to catch them.

  Seeing them walking around on the same floor three or four times, a middle-aged man wearing glasses couldn't help but walked over: "You are still investigating."

  Seeing someone approaching, Mao Lilan instinctively handed out the autograph book.

   After handing over, I realized that I didn't seem to know this person.

  Yoko Kinoshita saw it, and introduced thoughtfully: "This is Tadao Ohno, the director of the crew."

  Director Ohno nodded towards them. He obviously heard that Mrs. Nanjo wanted to invite detectives to investigate: "Is there any result?"

  Jiang Xia looked at him and shook his head: "I haven't found anyone particularly suspicious at the moment."...Except for the younger brother who has been squatting at the base of the wall, trying to reduce his presence.

  The director had an expression of "as expected", and patted him on the shoulder jokingly: "I mean, just check it out, you don't need to work too hard—anyway, the so-called 'death circle' in the threat letter will never appear."

  Dr. A Li followed them up and down, and was very tired right now.

  Hearing this, I was stunned: "What do you mean? Are we doing useless work?"

  Director Ono spread his hands: "In my opinion, this is a gimmick by Hayato Nanjo, who directed and acted in order to promote the new drama."

As he spoke, he pointed to the nearby reporters who came to talk to the crew: "Nanjo's costumes are not in place today, and his scenes were not filmed. He spends all his free time bragging with those reporters. What do you say? Even if 'Death Array' really came, it's just a fake, the real thing is fearless. The words he said are enough to make up a page - he can chat so well when he is threatened, he is not directing and acting, but also What could it be?

   Mrs. Nanjo said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

  The angry look and sharp voice are very different from her usual elegant image.

  Mao Lilan didn't expect the two sides to quarrel suddenly, and shrank in shock.

  Awakened by her movement, Mrs. Nanjo realized that there was someone beside her.

She glanced at these guests and detectives, took a deep breath, tried to maintain elegance, and smiled a little: "It's past nine o'clock, you must be hungry—I remember there is a convenience store nearby, you go buy some Snacks to fill the stomach, the director booked a hotel nearby, and when work is over, we will go have dinner together."

  Jiang Xia nodded, seeing that she still had something to say to the director.

   A few people were really hungry, so they followed Mrs. Nanjo's directions and planned to go to the convenience store.

  Yoko Kinoshita seemed to have something to deal with, so she didn't go with them, but said to Jiang Xia, "Bring me a hamburger."

   After finishing speaking, I suddenly remembered something, and changed my words silently: "Well, let's make a sandwich with vegetables." Damn, keep in shape...
