Conan’s Corpse Picker

The upright baseball player looked moved. He looked at Mrs. Su Fang: "It's so touching. I will do my best to help you organize the charity dinner next week!"

The photographer sighed: "Actually, my wife died in a car accident 20 years ago. It is fate to attend this charity dinner. If my wife is alive in heaven, I will be very happy."

Mrs. Su Fang glanced at him, secretly tightened her grip on the cup, but quickly smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you."

 …

 After dinner, everyone went back to their guest rooms.

Jiang Xia had just packed her luggage when she heard a knock on the door.

He opened the door, and there was a smiling maid standing outside. Naoko Tormaru bowed and saluted: "Good evening, Mr. Jiang Xia. Mrs. Su Fang invites you to go to the living room on the third floor to discuss matters."

The door to the guest room next to her suddenly opened - Suzuki Sonoko had just packed her luggage and was about to go out to have some fun. When she walked to the door, she heard a movement.

She blinked her eyes and said decisively: "I'll go too!"

Torimaru Naoko's eyes twitched and she said warmly: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Su Fang only invited Mr. Jiang Xia."

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes suddenly became suspicious: "Is there anything we can't hear and we have to talk about it late at night?"

 Don’t think she doesn’t know, there are a lot of weird things in the entertainment industry! And that Mrs. Su Fang has been in the entertainment industry for most of her life. Who knows if she wants to take the opportunity to do something.

At the entrance of the guest room next to him, Maya Hashimoto stood behind the door, listening quietly, nodding while listening: "..." It was true that he suggested Jiang Xia to bring this rich man from the consortium, and as expected, the conspiracy from the rich grandma was immediately shattered.

However, the detective involved didn’t seem to think anything was wrong.

Jiang Xia said to Suzuki Sonoko: "Maybe there is a commission for me. I'll go over and have a look."

Maya Hashimoto: "..." No! What if that person with a bright tongue lets you join her agency? Compared with Mrs. Su Fang, I was obviously the one who came first, so Holmes and Watson should spend more time together!

However, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't hear his inner cry. The female high school student was persuaded by Jiang Xia. She bulged her non-existent biceps: "That's right. Okay, if you call us if you have something, I'll take it with you right away." Xiaolan kills it!"

Hashimoto Maya: “…”

  Could it be that he had to stop it in person?

That's right. I am Jiang Xia's assistant now. If there is really a commission, wouldn't it be very reasonable for his assistant to go with him?

Thinking of this, Maya Hashimoto, who was gradually getting involved, opened the door and pretended to be alarmed by Suzuki Sonoko's voice: "What's wrong? Why are you gathering at the door so late?"

Torimaru Naoko saw him going out, with a smile on her face, but her body tensed silently.

 In an instant, the aroma of fried eggs filled the air around Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the maid who was suddenly filled with murderous intent: "..."

Hashimoto Maya is really surprisingly useful. It can squeeze aloe vera next to Curacao, make coffee next to Toru Amuro, and fry omelettes even if it is placed next to a close colleague... This one under Usa's command The new little brother is really unpopular.

There was a hint of sympathy in Jiang Xia's eyes, and she sent a little care to this despised subordinate, and answered Maya Hashimoto's question just now: "Mrs. Su Fang seems to be looking for me for something." Maye Hashimoto forcibly resisted "keeping a low profile" His instinct was like a serious assistant: "Is it a commission? I'll go with you."

Seeing that Jiang Xia was about to nod, Torimaru Naoko repeated: "Mrs. Su Fang only invited Mr. Jiang Xia."

Maya Hashimoto glanced at her and realized that the previous reaction was not an illusion: this woman really seemed to have a trace of hostility towards him that came from nowhere.

 Maya Hashimoto: “…” Colleague?

There were too many members of Uzuo's subordinates around Jiang Xia. Maya Hashimoto now gradually calmed down. He said seriously: "It's okay. I'll go over and have a look first. If Mrs. Su Fang just wants to talk to Jiang Xia alone, I'll come back then." That’s it.”

Even if it can't prevent Mrs. Su Fang and Jiang Xia from being alone, it can at least prevent the maid and Jiang Xia from being alone on the way back and forth - the two old employees Suzuki Yuanzi and Conan are enough for him, and there is no need for a few new employees to join in.

As the words fell, Maya Hashimoto and Naoko Toriyama looked at each other, and invisible electric sparks seemed to be stirring in the air.

Jiang Xia didn't care about the exchange of eyes, but she saw that the aroma of iced black tea and fried eggs was getting stronger and stronger.

So he did not rush and waited very patiently. However, this scenario could not last forever.

Torimaru Naoko quickly remembered her identity as a maid, and Hashimoto Maya had already mentioned this. Of course she couldn't make decisions for Mrs. Su Fang, her employer, so she had to bow her head obediently: " Okay, then I’ll take you two there.”

As soon as she turned around, her gentle and sweet eyes darkened: the cunning minions of Uzo were indeed difficult to deal with - she originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of being alone on the road to remind Jiang Xia that "Hashimoto Maya is an undercover agent sent by Uzo", so that Jiang Xia is careful about that guy with evil intentions.

However, Maya Hashimoto seemed to be on guard against her and insisted on following her... Hehe, she would never give up!

 …

Torimaru Naoko suppressed her murderous intention towards Maya Hashimoto and led the two of them up to the third floor and went to Mrs. Su Fang's small living room.

This place has been made into a living room that looks like a showroom - the surrounding cabinets are filled with various trophies and certificates, announcing Mrs. Su Fang's proud achievements over the years.

As expected, Maya Hashimoto was sent out by Mrs. Su Fang. He and Naoko Tormaru stayed outside the door, while Jiang Xia entered the living room alone.

 The heavy door is closed.

　　Mrs. Su Fang obviously didn’t know that there was someone outside who was unilaterally involved with her.

She went to Jiang Xia alone to tell Jiang Xia purely because she didn't want her commission to be heard by more people.

 After entering the room, Mrs. Su Fang was not in a hurry to talk. She opened a bottle of red wine first, drank it slowly for a while, and chatted with Jiang Xia about other things.

When the relationship between the two parties seemed to be getting closer, she spoke carefully: "By the way, in addition to the charity dinner this time, I also want to entrust you to investigate something for me alone."

Jiang Xia watched the ghosts carrying their murderous aura back from the door one after another, and leaned against the sofa comfortably: "You tell me."

 According to the normal procedure, most clients will ask detectives to investigate the collage threatening letter from the "Messenger of the Curse Mask".

However, Mrs. Su Fang may have received too many similar letters, but she did not take them to heart at all.

She was talking about another thing: "At dinner just now, Mr. Katagiri said that his wife had a car accident 20 years ago and died as a result - I hope you can help me investigate the details of the car accident."
