Conan's Corpse Picker

Compared with the unknown enemy, Mao Lilan, who helped her invite Jiang Xia, suddenly became very pleasing to the eye.

Hattori Heiji was playing with his mobile phone, when he noticed Toyama Kazuha's waving gesture, he raised his head from the phone in surprise, wanting to say hello to Kudo.

But when he turned his head, the smile he had just raised disappeared from his face.

...Why is Jiang Xia here?

Hattori Heiji remembered the invitation call he had made to Conan the day before yesterday, and subconsciously looked at Conan.

However, just as he turned his gaze away, he suddenly realized another thing - he only made an appointment with Conan before, but now, Mao Lilan is also here, and he once asked Yuan Shan and Ye to help him make an appointment with Mao Lilan... Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji's gaze subconsciously turned to his childhood friend, Toyama Kazuha.

Originally, Hattori Heiji thought that he was stabbed in the back by one of these two people.

However, the moment his eyes swept, he keenly noticed that Conan, Yuan Shan and Ye's eyes drifted away at the same time, avoiding his gaze.

Hattori Heiji:"……"

Hattori Heiji:"???"

...What do you mean? !

Among the five people, only Mao Lilan and Jiang Xia looked normal at this moment.

One is because of ignorance of the truth of the matter, and the other is because of knowing the whole truth.

Jiang Xia looked kindly at Hattori Heiji, who was trampled by the alpaca in his heart, and pretended nothing happened, and said, "You can continue to look for me when you come to Tokyo in the future, I know a lot of interesting places."

Looking at this scene, Mao Lilan was quite happy, and looked at Hattori Heiji very friendly: "I thought you had a bad relationship before, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to invite him."

Hattori Heiji:"……"

He had a lot of words coming to his lips.Then he took another deep breath and swallowed it silently.

... The matter has come to this point, it is impossible for him to directly say to Jiang Xia unreasonably, "I didn't want to find you, disappear soon!" Ome who was with her...seemed to have no shortcomings.

If you really say that, you will make yourself look like a villain, which is too cheap.

……

The other people didn't care about Hattori Heiji's complicated thoughts, and happily started shopping.

Hattori Heiji followed alone, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, feeling quite sad.

He found that Jiang Xia's affinity was unbelievably high—forget about Mao Lilan and Kudo, after all, they are Jiang Xia's classmates and half-children, so it's normal to want to bring Jiang Xia along for everything.

What's scary is that Hattori Heiji remembered that when he went out this morning, his father Heizo Hattori heard that he was going to Tokyo, and he thought of Jiang Xia at the first time, and asked him to visit Jiang Xia to learn more.

Now it seems that not only Dad, but also He Ye started to backstab him.

... Hattori Heiji counted on his fingers, and found that only his mother loved him the most.Dad and Fa Xiao are unreliable at all, let alone friends.

Hattori Heiji snorted angrily at the backs of Conan and Toyama Kazuha.

At the same time, I felt a little rejoiced—fortunately, he saved a hand before.Whether it was Toyama and Ye or Conan, they only said that he wanted to come to Tokyo to play, and the anonymous entrustment letter has not been revealed yet.

In other words, as long as it lasts until tomorrow, he will abduct Conan before Jiang Xia notices the abnormality.Then, things can get back on track for an enjoyable world of two-person racing to solve crimes.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji's mentality quickly returned to peace.

Good thing he's witty.

Sure enough, there are always more solutions than problems.

Chapter 310

Although Jiang Xia himself didn't look back at Hattori Heiji, Xiaobai's eyes kept turning between Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, and he quickly found Hattori Heiji's expression of gratitude.

Xiaobai blinked his eyes, and felt that the Osaka native had a ghost in his heart, so he decisively filed a complaint and told Jiang Xia about it in a whisper.

Jiang Xia also felt that Hattori Heiji had concealed something, but he didn't care too much.

——Although the day before yesterday, he failed to eavesdrop on the fact that Hattori Heiji wanted to go to Ogasawara to handle the case from the phone, but according to the start and end time of the prize quiz in the newspaper, combined with the spoiler, Jiang Xia already knew that Hattori Heiji was coming to Tokyo this time ultimate purpose.

So he doesn't panic at all now.

Because as long as he takes the old banknotes tomorrow, boards the ship in a low-key manner, and hides in the cabin all the time, he can successfully "encounter" Hattori Heiji and Conan who also slipped on the ship and tried to form a group after sailing. And then to the realm of death of these two high school student detectives - at that time, it is impossible for Hattori Heiji and Conan to jump into the sea and swim back to the shore in order to avoid him.

These things are nothing to be afraid of, Jiang Xia continued to concentrate on shopping, wanting to see if it is possible to encounter other ghosts on the road before the serial murder case on the boat started.

However, on the way shopping, Jiang Xia found that the surrounding area was very peaceful, there was no murder, no robbery, not even a bag thief.

Instead, he suddenly received a phone call.

After hearing the ringing, Jiang Xia took out her mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, and found that it turned out to be the number of the detective agency's landline.

Usually when he leaves the office, he will lock the door, it is impossible for the client to use this landline to call him... Jiang Xia answered the phone while thinking, and indeed Amuro Toru's voice came from the opposite side.

There was a hint of doubt in the boss's voice, and there was also a little hidden curiosity.

Toru Amuro said simply: "I happened to be at the detective agency today, and then I met...a client who asked to see you by name. Come here as soon as possible."

"Want to see me by name?" Jiang Xia became confused.

There are actually quite a few guests who want to see him, but most of them are to ask if the cat was found, if the dog was found, if the mistress was found... Toru Amuro met these guests in the past, and he would only verbally promise to remind him, not really Call to urge Jiang Xia's progress. After all, he is not the kind of ordinary detective agency boss who pursues performance, but a high-paid spy who can be reimbursed bilaterally and treats money like dirt.

So now... Who is worthy of Toru Amuro looking for him?

Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, wanting to collect some information first: "Is that guest someone you know?"

Could it be that a member of the winery suddenly encountered a murder case, and then was fooled by the overdose of gin into thinking it was Uzuo who did it, so he came to him to settle the score... Jiang Xia guessed aimlessly.

Fortunately, this magical realism has not happened yet.

"It's not acquaintance." Toru Amuro lowered his voice a little: "The guest said her surname is 'Chibo', but this should be a fabricated pseudonym, or an old surname-I saw her in the corner of the interview program before, she It should be the wife of Superintendent Hattori of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, have you ever met her..." Ah.

While talking, Toru Amuro remembered it first.

——He remembered that a while ago, a high school student detective named Hattori Heiji came to his door.It was a very dark student, and he was very fond of brainstorming, which impressed Toru Amuro deeply.

This made him no longer confused and vigilant like before - the wife of a senior official and the mother of a high school student are two completely different concepts.And the other high school student also knew Jiang Xia, which caused the severity of the incident in Toru Amuro's heart to plummet.

He changed his words: "There shouldn't be any major problems. If you have something to do, you don't have to come here."

On the other side of the phone, Jiang Xia pinned the long prefix.

The wife of Superintendent Hattori of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters... Isn't this the mother of Hattori Heiji?

As soon as the key word "Mother Hattori Heiji" was mentioned, Jiang Xia suddenly thought of some things and some cases.

He looked at the few classmates who were walking around the street with Le Rongrong, and felt that the street looked quite peaceful, and maybe there would be no situation for a while.

So he turned back to his phone and made a decision: "I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xia, under Hattori Heiji's slightly surprised eyes, and Toyama and Ye's very regretful gazes, said that he suddenly had something urgent and needed to leave for a while.

Before leaving, Jiang Xia turned to Mao Lilan, who reassured him the most among these people: "If you have anything to do, please remember to call me, I will come right away."

"Okay." Mao Lilan nodded, and then said, "Actually, don't worry about us—I heard that there was a murder case here a few days ago, and there are still police patrols from time to time, and the law and order are very good."

Hattori Heiji and Conan: "..."

Although they knew in their hearts that Jiang Xia's words just now should just remind them to pay attention to safety.But I always feel that when Jiang Xia said these words, it was like saying "remember to find me if there is a murder case"... Ahem, science, you have to believe in Ke Xue.There is no such thing as a god of death physique in the world, everything is a coincidence.

Seeing that Mao Lilan responded, Jiang Xia felt relieved to leave.

As for how the students understood his words, he didn't care, as long as something happened, someone remembered to call him...

……

Jiang Xia's motorcycle was parked nearby.

He quickly found his car and drove to the detective agency at a fast speed.

When approaching the place, Jiang Xia slowed down a bit and appeared at the gate of the office at a legal speed.

After getting out of the car, he took off his helmet casually, hung it on the handlebar, and walked in the door.

On the small sofa for entertaining guests in the room, a very noble woman was sitting.

The woman is wearing a black kimono, her skin is very fair, her face makeup is exquisite but not exaggerated, she is as cold as a drawn sword when she is not smiling, even if she shows a polite smile, it looks like a sword sheathed at best... ...In short, it looks very difficult to get along with, and looks like a villain killer with Mo's feelings.

Amuro was sitting on the couch across from her, seemingly trying to chat, but failing.

The woman in the kimono, Hattori Shizuka, actually didn't mind chatting with the boss of the detective agency.Because the other person's complexion made her feel kind, and somehow felt like a family member.

But in the end, in order to expose her information as little as possible and achieve the ultimate goal of visiting today, Hattori Shizuka suppressed the idea of ​​chatting and decided to wait for Jiang Xia to arrive first.

Seeing Jiang Xia enter the door now, she looked at it for a moment, then stood up gracefully:

"My surname is Chi Bo. Please forgive me for interrupting me suddenly. My friend recommended you to me—she said that if it was you, she would definitely be able to help me solve my problems."

Chapter 311 The Status of the Boss

Hattori Shizuka pretended to be an ordinary client.After she finished her pre-thought-out lines, she bowed slightly.

She didn't know that Amuro Toru and Jiang Xia had already recognized her identity, and she didn't realize that when she bowed her head, the two took the opportunity to exchange a puzzled look.

As Hattori Heiji's mother, Hattori Shizuka has always been very curious about the "Jiangxia" that her son and husband said - the son always described Jiangxia as a monster, but her husband admired it very much. In addition, Toyama and Ye seem to have an impression of Jiangxia Quite good.

The polarized evaluations given by people around him undoubtedly aroused Hattori Shizuka's interest.So she adjusted her trip to Tokyo slightly.

——Originally, she only needed to arrive tomorrow to attend the wedding of her friend's son.

But now, Hattori Jinghua decided to come one day earlier and meet Jiang Xia first.And in the process, test his ability, observe his character, and then see who is wearing colored glasses among his son, husband, and promising future daughter-in-law.

……

In order to achieve this goal, when Hattori Shizuka speaks, he uses Tokyo dialect that sounds very authentic at first glance.And deliberately hide the surname "Hatbu", which is easy for Jiang Xia to associate with Hattori Heiji, and only say that his surname is "Ikeba".

In addition, she also used a Band-Aid to cover the scar on the wedding ring on her left ring finger under the pretext that she hurt her hand due to poor cooking skills, and pretended that she was single—this is not only to cover up the identity of "Hattori Heiji's mother", but also to Jiang Xia. One of the small tests of ability.

Hattori Shizuka came to this firm for the first time.And her son Hattori Heiji had never seen Jiang Xia in the detective agency.

So Hattori Shizuka didn't understand the usual state of the office, and she didn't feel that it was wrong for Amuro Toru to call and help her find Jiang Xia immediately after hearing that she wanted to find Jiang Xia.I just feel that this firm is very service-minded, or the boss thought she was a rich and big client after seeing her attire, and offered potential VIP treatment in private... Similar things have happened to Shizuka Hattori in the past Not a lot.

In short, at present, Hattori Shizuka is unaware of the fact that she has been recognized as her true identity.

Jiang Xia silently looked at the elder who had fallen off the horse before meeting him, but was still concentrating on performing, so she had to pretend that she hadn't noticed anything, and followed the normal process to accompany her in the performance.

Seeing Jiang Xia coming, Toru Amuro got up and gave him the seat opposite Shizuka Hattori.

Afterwards, the boss of the detective agency did not leave the office, but started pretending to find tea to make tea, and stayed in the shop with this reason-he was a little curious about why Hattori Shizuka came here.
