Conan's Corpse Picker

"If there are other detectives? Hmm...then let's treat it as a trip." This is Suzuki Sonoko's real purpose. When talking about travel, her voice became full of expectation, "Now this season, Mie County's The beach is very beautiful, it’s worth going there!”

This is a lie.

Whether the beach is beautiful or not doesn't really matter at all - the important thing is that Suzuki Sonoko wants Jiang Xia and Xiaolan to appreciate the beautiful swimsuit she newly designed.Of course, if Jiang Xia also reciprocates and let her appreciate it, things will be even better...

……

This banquet was not too formal, and the Ichikawa family who hosted the banquet did not have a deep friendship with the Suzuki family.So Sonoko Suzuki didn't wear a dress skirt, but ordinary formal clothes.

Of course, this kind of travel cannot forget to call Mao Lilan and Conan.

The four classmates quickly met at the station and took a bus to Mie County.

When they arrived at the mansion of the Ichikawa family, many round tables had already been set up in the spacious courtyard, and many people came.

"Every year for the president's birthday, a small party like this will be held." The old butler received them, and while briefly introducing the situation, led them to the study.

He stopped at the door of the study, knocked on the door, and reported to President Ichikawa inside: "Miss Suzuki and her classmates are here."

"Yeah." President Ichikawa had already heard that they were coming in the morning, "Come in."

The butler opened the door and walked in with a few young people.

President Ichikawa's eyes stopped on Jiang Xia for a while, and he frowned.

This kind of decision to come over at the last moment made him quite unhappy, but fortunately, it didn't delay the business - anyway, he didn't really expect the detective to find out anything, he just let this guy act as a cover.

Thinking of this, Ichikawa Yuu nodded to the housekeeper.

The butler reached into his pocket, touched it, took out a check, and put it on the table in front of Jiang Xia: "This 100 million is a deposit. If the matter ends smoothly, there will be a balance of 100 million."

Compared with ordinary entrustments, the reward this time is quite high.

However, Jiang Xia is still more interested in another matter: "What is the specific content of the commission?"

Ichikawa supported his chin with both hands, and said slowly: "My two daughters will also attend today's banquet—your job is to keep an eye on what they are doing or want to do for me."

"Okay." After Jiang Xia finished speaking, like a professional detective, she asked a few more words, "Is there a clearer direction of observation? - The same reaction may sometimes have countless motives. Understand the situation clearly , I can give a better investigation report."

President Ichikawa hesitated for a moment, then looked at the person standing beside him: "Okano, you explain."

This person's name is Okano Jun, and he is the attending doctor of President Ichikawa.

Okano Jun seems to be a very taciturn person, and simply said: "The president's heart is not very healthy. If you continue to work like this, your body will soon be overwhelmed. So..." So he had to resign to save his life, anyway, he earned money Enough already.

Thanks for the [Monthly Pass] (σ≧??▽?????)σ-☆

1210【Thank you for the doctor sent by the organization】

President Ichikawa continued the doctor's words: "So I will step down immediately, but before that, I need to determine my successor."

Suzuki Sonoko thought of President Ichikawa's entrustment just now, and thought about his two daughters, his expression became a little strange for a moment: "So you asked Jiang Xia to observe them, to see who is more suitable to be the heir?"

"Oh, I didn't say I would choose from them." Although President Ichikawa looked down on these little brats, but thinking about the Suzuki Foundation behind Suzuki Sonoko, he reluctantly said a few more words, "If they dare to betray My business, even if it is my own flesh and blood, I will not give them a penny."

Suzuki Sonoko has always been not interested in money matters. Hearing this topic, she suddenly felt that things became boring. She just wanted to finish tonight's banquet quickly and fast forward to going to the beach tomorrow.

When Conan heard President Ichikawa's words, he couldn't help but slapped him a bit: "That's what I said, but according to the inheritance law, they can still inherit a lot of reserved inheritance-the saying that they can't get a penny is actually not true. Inaccurate."

Suzuki Sonoko yawned and looked at Conan: How does this child know so much about inheritance? His parents...

President Ichikawa didn't care about this, he just smiled mysteriously:

"That's true. But if they've done something illegal and scandalous, it's a different story--that's why I've got detectives, to tell you the truth, I always feel like something big is about to happen."

"..." Another riddleman.

However, Jiang Xia has seen many similar guys, so he doesn't have much dislike for the Riddler. After all, according to his experience, this kind of person can always bring him benefits in various aspects.

So he cooperated and became serious, and asked mysteriously in a low voice: "Big thing? What do you mean?"

The Riddler did not speak.

Shi Chuanxiong showed a mysterious smile, changed the subject, and looked at Jiang Xia: "Since you are here with Miss Suzuki's family, don't make public your detective status today, just keep a low profile and observe from the side - I hope you can find out What you get is worthy of the reward I give."

……

After receiving the task, Jiang Xia and the others did not stay in the study, and quickly followed the butler to the venue.

Entering the corridor, Suzuki Sonoko took a breath of the fresh air of the seaside city, stretched his waist, and relying on the old butler's deafness, he whispered to his classmates: "It's really hard to talk to this kind of person—so what's the big deal?" ?”

"I don't know." Mao Lilan watched the lively banquet scene in the courtyard through the window, sighed, and prayed sincerely, "I hope nothing happens tonight."

Hearing this, Jiang Xia raised her hand and touched Conan's head.

Conan looked up at him in confusion: "...Huh?"

……

With different thoughts, the four followed the butler to the banquet venue.

People of various identities came and went back and forth at the venue, but the housekeeper quickly fixed his eyes on a woman, and introduced to Jiang Xia in a low voice: "That is Ms. Ichikawa Kazucho, the eldest daughter of Mr. Ichikawa, who is currently running a gallery."

Just as he was talking, Ichikawa Kazuju looked towards them as if he had given birth to a clairvoyant ear.

Her eyes paused for a moment, as if she recognized the guest here, she quickly approached with a wine glass.

"Jiangxia? I often hear Sonoko mentioning you." Ichikawa Kazucho showed them a friendly smile.

Although she was born in Mie Prefecture, the gallery under her name is opened in Tokyo, and she usually has contact with celebrities in Tokyo.Ichikawa thought of something, and quickly took out a few tickets enthusiastically: "My gallery will hold an exhibition soon, if you are interested..."

While chatting, a sharp voice suddenly came in from the side:

"Sister? I didn't expect you to come to the banquet."

Ichikawa was startled, and soon recognized who the owner of the voice was.

The polite and gentle look on her face disappeared immediately, and turned into a cold smile: "Of course I will come - how can I, as the heir of the Ichikawa family, be absent on such an occasion?"

"Heir?" Mizue Ichikawa, the second daughter of President Ichikawa, laughed when he heard this, "But a woman's intuition tells me that my father has no such plan."

She looked at her sister's slightly raised chin, and said with a blow: "When you quarreled with your father before and shouted to run away from home, weren't you very stubborn. Why, now you're back for inheritance?"

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan heard this kind of family affairs inadvertently, and stood by, a little embarrassed.

Jiang Xia looked at Sister Ichikawa for a while, and Sister Ichikawa for a while, took a sip of the juice in the goblet, and watched silently.

Ichikawa caught a glimpse of their expressions from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, and began to expose his younger sister's shortcomings: "Didn't you marry in a hurry and escape from this house because you didn't want to be nagged by him? Alas, it's a pity to hear that you and your brother-in-law Is it because after getting married, he found that you are not as rich as he imagined, and regretted marrying you, a shrew?"

When Mizue Ichikawa heard her mentioning this, her face flushed red: "You, you...you have time to take care of other people's housework, so why not take care of your gallery—I heard that you were recently sued for selling counterfeit goods, tsk tsk , has gotten to this point of poverty, no wonder I put aside my face and ran back to admit my mistake today."

"Humph!"

In terms of embarrassment, the two unfortunately died together.

Seemingly realizing that if they continue to quarrel like this, their oldest black history will be ruthlessly stripped away, the two sisters finally had to snort angrily, and each went in different directions, out of sight and out of sight, and broke up unhappy.

……

Jiang Xia originally wanted to keep staring at people, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something and turned his head to look to the other side of the venue.

——The taciturn "Doctor Okano" I saw before also came to the banquet at some time and was having dinner.

There was a circle of people with similar temperaments around him. Those people were obviously not familiar with the other guests in the banquet hall, and they chatted in low voices to themselves.

The old butler keenly noticed the direction of Jiang Xia's gaze, and introduced intimately:

"Those are Dr. Okano's peers—the doctor's union meeting this year happened to be held in Mie Prefecture, and it just finished at noon. Chairman Ichikawa heard that a team of doctors came, so he spent a lot of money to invite them to come for a consultation."

Jiang Xia looked at the group of doctors, and his eyes stopped for a while on a few of them, feeling a little moved.

Mao Lilan quickly noticed his eager eyes.

She remembered Jiang Xia's habit of "like to find people everywhere to change business cards", and looked at the window of the villa where President Ichikawa is, then leaned closer and reminded in a low voice: "Well, just now President Ichikawa seemed to say that you can't publicize your identity as a detective today. , keep a low profile and observe from the side.”

1211【Cure Uzo, I'll make you regular】

"But Miss Ichikawa has recognized me."

Jiang Xia sighed helplessly: "And I don't want to exchange business cards, I just want to find out about the situation with those doctors.

"As a mature detective, when dealing with commissions, you must always consider various possibilities—for example, what if a doctor colludes with the two ladies in an attempt to frame Mr. Ichikawa... This is not to publicize your identity as a detective, but to Necessary communication."

Next to him, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard the "possibilities" he listed: "It should, it shouldn't be like this."

Jiang Xia glanced at him, although he didn't say anything, but there was a bit of surprise in his eyes, "The imagination of the wealthy housekeeper is so barren?".

"..." The old housekeeper was stared silent by him: It seems to be right, although I haven't encountered a bloody incident of fighting for family property yet, but when I communicated with my colleagues, I did hear them talk about similar things .Shouldn't...

While he was still thinking about life, Jiang Xia naturally walked towards the group of doctors gathered.

Then he took out his business card holder and finished changing the business card efficiently.

Jiang Xia's eyes flicked over the newly acquired business cards, and his eyes stopped for a while on some of them.

One of them was named "Utsumi Kazuhiko", a psychiatrist.

Jiang Xia: "..." I don't know why, but I always feel that in this world, it is difficult for doctors of this subject to live for a long time...

……

When Jiang Xia was observing Doctor Neihai's business card.

Opposite him, Utsumi Kazuhiko was not interested in this famous detective.

At this time, the doctor was holding a glass of red wine elegantly, his eyes fell on the beautiful scenery in the distance, and he was in a good mood.

Neihai Kazuhiko has been in a good mood lately—in the medical union, he took advantage of his position to catch many of his colleagues and win over a group of subordinates who will be very useful in the future.

In addition, he recently received a surprise: After being in the organization for so long, with a large amount of funds and his golden years invested, Utsumi Kazuhiko finally got a chance to be promoted.

——"That adult" said that he would introduce two important patients to him, and as long as the situation improved slightly, he would be given a code name.

Although I haven't heard about the specific conditions of the two patients, Utsumi Kazuhiko has been a doctor for so many years and has seen countless difficult patients. He has always been very confident in his professional field.

In addition, he has a little bit of his own thoughts.

——According to his years of experience in the workplace, new cadres will inevitably be excluded.

And those two patients, since they can be paid attention to by "that adult", they must have a high status in the organization.

Utsumi Kazuhiko thought confidently: he is a psychiatrist.Once the trusted doctor-patient relationship is established, it is equivalent to using two veteran cadres to immediately gain a firm foothold in the organization.
