Conan's Corpse Picker

Yoko Kinoshita left for a while before he came back to his senses and turned to look at Jiang Xia.

"..." According to what Yoko Kinoshita said just now, Jiang Xia seems to have said a lot of good things for him on weekdays, which made Miss Yoko have a very good impression of him, Mori Kogoro, and felt that he was a reliable and responsible senior.

However, Mori Kogoro thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to have taught Jiang Xia anything at all.

... Suddenly feeling a little guilty again.

Mori Kogoro: "..." Fortunately, Jiang Xia is still young, and the time is still very long—it doesn't matter if he hasn't taught it before, and it's too late to start teaching now!Not lying to Miss Yoko.

Thinking of this, Mori Kogoro raised his hand and patted Jiang Xia's shoulder appreciatively: "Not bad, kid! I will continue to teach you in the future—tell me, what do you want to learn!"

In the middle of the conversation, he caught a glimpse of a line of self-serving champagne on the long table. He was a little greedy, and his voice faltered: "...Why don't I teach you how to taste wine first."

As he spoke, Mori Kogoro reached out his hand naturally and picked up a wine glass.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He sniffed the aroma of wine that permeated the air. While his heart was moving, he glanced across the hall and carefully observed the environment.

There were quite a few big shots at this press conference.Therefore, the confidentiality requirements for the party are also extremely high-the reporters are all blocked outside, and they will not be able to enter here after the process of walking the red carpet is over, so they can only go to the specially prepared reception hall.

In other words, there is no need to worry about the negative news that "a high school student detective has a drinking habit" tonight.Coupled with champagne and white grape juice next to it, the color is almost the same, a little bit so that others can't really see it...

A series of thoughts flashed quickly.

Jiang Xia withdrew her observing gaze and came to a conclusion in her heart.

Almost at the same time, Kogoro Mori handed over the cup tacitly.

Jiang Xia held out her hand to take it reservedly, and took a sip expectantly.

Sweet.

And it doesn't taste like alcohol.

"...?"

Startled, he removed the glass and looked carefully.

Suddenly, he found that although Mori Kogoro was holding a drink and what he handed to him were all goblets filled with clear liquid.

But if you look closely, the one Moori Kogoro drinks is an elegant flute-shaped cup.

The "wine" that Jiang Xia took over was a spherical cup with a short handle.

"..." Jiang Xia gradually realized the problem, "Wait, my glass is white grape juice?"

Didn't you say you want to teach wine tasting?

"Men don't care about the details!" Mori Kogoro had already finished a ton of glasses, he turned around and picked up a new glass of champagne, "It's all drinks anyway, what's the difference!"

Jiang Xia looked at his back with gloomy eyes: "..."

Cunning old detective, defrauding the neighbor's feelings.

The next time I send the merchandise, I must give him the incomplete version that I forgot to bring my signature.Because men can't care about details...

……

Mori Kogoro was eating and drinking happily when suddenly his back felt cold.

He raised his head vigilantly and looked around, but found no source of danger.

Instead, I saw a group of children running around in the banquet hall.

Mori Kogoro was stunned: At first glance, many children in formal attire had egg-shaped badges pinned to their bodies—this represented that they had the qualification to enter the venue to experience the "cocoon".

"The grandson of the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department, the son of a Noh musician, the grandson of a bank tycoon, the son of a politician..." Mori Kogoro counted in a low voice, and clicked his tongue a few times in a complicated tone, "The second son who bears the future of Japan The three generations are almost all here. This game is really powerful."

"..." Jiang Xia looked at those children who looked like passers-by, and then glanced at Moli Kogoro with slight surprise: You can even recognize them, you are also very good...

……

Hui Yuanai was playing with the child a few meters away just now.

At this time, she strolled to Jiang Xia's side and found that Jiang Xia was holding a goblet and was distracted, so she pulled Jiang Xia's wrist and lowered her head to sniff the cup in his hand.

It was found that it was grape juice, not the "wine tasting" that Mori Kogoro yelled about.

Only then did Huiyuan Ai let go of his hand, and went to the side to pick out a glass of juice.

Afterwards, she sips slowly and gracefully, while looking at some unscrupulous brats playing football in the banquet hall, she mutters in a low voice:

"It's really the epitome of Japan's ugly hereditary system—with this kind of hereditary, the wrong history of mankind will continue to repeat itself, and it cannot be changed no matter how long it takes."

A politician's son becomes a politician, and a governor's son becomes a governor.And... the children of the organization, the next generation of the organization.

Hui Yuanai thought of himself and Jiang Xia, and sighed, the grape juice in his hand suddenly became less sweet.

Chapter 918 Dirty Detective

Hui Yuan Ai was feeling a little emotional when suddenly a red dress flashed across her eyes.

She raised her head, and saw Suzuki Sonoko wearing a rare evening dress with a backless back, walking over from nowhere.

Conan is hiding next to Jiang Xia, taking refuge with three hard-hearted boys from the Boy Detective Team.

At this moment, when he looked up and saw Suzuki Sonoko, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the other party's clothes: "You also have an experience badge?"

"Huh? You mean this?" Suzuki Sonoko glanced down at the badge on his chest, and flicked it with his fingers, "The Suzuki Foundation sponsored this game, and the organizer sent one to my house— — I’m the only one who fits the age of the experience, so the family gave it to me.”

The boys detective team originally hid far away.

At this time, attracted by this extremely rare badge that symbolizes "holographic game experience qualification", they couldn't help but move closer, trying to hint: "That's great, I really want to play 'Cocoon' too."

Before Suzuki Sonoko answered.

Next to it, a childish sneer suddenly broke in: "That's not okay-not everyone is worthy of experiencing this game."

Jiang Xia took a sip of grape juice, looked around boredly, and saw several children aged seven or eight.

——It was the second generations who were recognized by Mori Kogoro just now.

Even in this banquet hall where celebrities gather, their family background can be considered prominent.

……

The young second generations wore experience badges on their chests, bathed in the envious eyes of the young detective team, and couldn't help but feel proud: "A person's status and the height he can reach have been determined since birth—you are worthy of it." Don’t get this badge, don’t think about it, let’s just watch from the side while wiping my saliva.”

This is very embarrassing to say.

While the Detective Boys were angry, the label "bad boy!" flashed instinctively in their minds.The three of them slapped it on the foreheads of the children opposite.Then he looked at Jiang Xia expectantly.

The second generations followed the gazes of the Boy Detectives asking for help, and their gazes also fell on Jiang Xia.

He thought that these civilian children wanted Jiang Xia, a "famous detective", to support him.

The second generation immediately sneered with disdain: "Don't you think that he is the kind of person who 'changed his background through his own efforts'—what about a detective? It just sounds glamorous, but in fact, they Or can you only get in touch with those shady and unscrupulous people, take dirty jobs from those people, and earn dirty money..."

While talking, a few shadows suddenly cast behind them.

The second generations were startled, and turned their heads aggressively.

I thought it was some kind of commoner who didn't wink and came here to find trouble.

However, before cursing, they suddenly saw the person behind them clearly, and their faces turned pale:

"mom?!"

"elder sister?!"

"aunt?!"

Holding a juice glass, Jiang Xia looked at the clients' wives who often came to look for cats, and their gloomy eyes: "..."

……

1 minute later.

"……sorry."

With their swollen, sore and shiny ears like light bulbs, and tears in their eyes, several children humiliatedly bowed to the hateful civilian detective and apologized to him.

The ladies stood by, covering their lips and smiling gracefully: "I'm really sorry, I'm too used to them..."

Just now, when they saw their own children surrounding Jiang Xia, their eyes lit up, and they felt that they could just come over and have a chat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they got closer, they heard Xiong Zi scolding them along with Jiang Xia.

...Why can't the client get on the stage?

How dirty is it to find a cat?

Shame!

"It's okay." Jiang Xia was regretting that the guardians would not be murderous.

At this time, the mobile phone on his body vibrated suddenly.

"..." Judging from the location, it seems to be the organization's mobile phone.

"Excuse me." Jiang Xia left more space for the wives and the bear children, then turned and walked to the bathroom.

……

In the empty hallway.

Jiang Xia took out her mobile phone and looked down.

I saw an email from Gin inside:

【All the helpers you need are here】

Attached are some photos.

——This is some "elites" selected by Qin Jiu to come to help at Jiang Xia's request.

Gin, Belmode and Vodka will also participate in this operation, but they are not convenient to appear in public.

So now, the three of them are waiting in the car on the next street as Jiang Xia said.

And these selected "elites" have all mixed into the venue.
