Thinking like this, Jiang Xia said calmly:
"It's not that I know him, I just feel that he reacts quickly and is very enthusiastic. In the scene just now, if someone else suddenly opened the door, he might just be frightened by the gun passing by... No, if you are afraid of trouble, I heard a bang outside the box.
The sound of smashing made many passengers afraid to open the door. But that gentleman was able to prevent Kagolize from getting the gun, which can be regarded as a big help to me."
Conan: "..."
It sounds like Jiang Xia's first impression of gin was not only good, it was simply very good.
...Things really developed in the direction he least wanted to see.
Conan looked at Jiang Xia with complicated eyes, and wanted to ask: Where is your keen insight into identifying the murderer immediately at a glance at the crime scene?
But after thinking about it, I realized that this is actually normal.
——Human beings and physical evidence are different after all. The latter has no thoughts, but the former is very cunning.
Jiang Xia is not good at identifying scum. Perhaps it is because those scum want to take advantage of Jiang Xia, so they always behave very friendly towards him. And even if they have a purpose, this kind of friendliness is indeed real.
Therefore, Jiang Xia only distinguished this "sincere" attitude, and unfortunately confused the sincerity of the scum with sinister purposes with another kind of pure sincerity, so things became like this.
...Fortunately, I discovered the clues in time.
Conan pushed up his glasses, feeling a sense of accomplishment in successfully pulling Jiang Xia to the shore before he slipped into the abyss.
At the same time, the pricking conscience caused by the intention to slander others behind their backs has become less painful.
"Well, speaking of it, I have actually seen him before..." Conan took a deep breath, used all the acting skills he had honed so far, and whispered to Jiang Xia, "By the way, what I told you today,
You must never tell anyone else."
Conan deliberately added the latter sentence to prevent the matter from being spread around and reaching the ears of insiders, and Jiang Xia would find out that it was false, which would further arouse Jiang Xia's desire to explore the black organization.
Although saying to others, "I'm going to tell you a secret, please don't tell anyone else," is like starting a world broadcast.
But Conan felt that he knew Jiang Xia quite well - Jiang Xia promised not to tell others, so he really wouldn't say a word. This should be safe enough.
When Jiang Xia heard this, he lowered his head and glanced at Conan.
After seeing this fake kid's serious expression with a touch of uneasiness, he guessed that Kudo-kun was planning to tell him that "there actually is a mysterious and vicious black organization in the world."
At this time, the train had started running again. The sound of wheels running over the track, the sound of wind outside, and the noise from the car body gradually became louder, making it difficult for people outside to hear the noise inside.
Jiang Xia asked the ghost to walk around the area again and found that no one was eavesdropping. He nodded and motioned to Conan to elaborate. At the same time, he was thinking about what kind of expression he should show when he heard about the black organization.
Well, there needs to be a little bit of surprise, a bit of disbelief, and a little bit of sudden realization that "I've long felt something was wrong, but there's just no evidence"...
Jiang Xia quickly prepared to hear the "secret".
However, what he didn't expect was that when Conan got closer, he mysteriously said:
"Actually, that person had come to Uncle Maoli several times before to make commissions. They were all about stalking enemies in life so as to gain leverage on them, investigating the situation of the cheating partner's first wife, and also thinking that the neighbor's cat was too noisy and wanted to keep it in his own house.
Things like finding a suitable location in the yard that is not illegal to poison cats..."
Jiang Xia: "...?"
Even though the target of the slander was Gin, the evil villain who had suffered numerous blood debts, Conan still had to hold his conscience firmly when he first said these words.
However, after getting started, he suddenly felt much smoother.
Conan looked at Jiang Xia's shocked expression and gradually found his feelings.
He then cleared his throat and continued to describe in detail.
…
Ten minutes later, Jiang Xia, who had been fed a lot of gossip, sat on the bed in confusion and rubbed his ears.
His ears are not clean anymore...
Also, is Conan crazy?
No, not quite...
Combined with the jerky acting, I always feel that this fake kid actually has another purpose, well... According to Conan's description of Gin, who is a scumbag in terms of life, ethics, emotions, and morality... Is he here to provoke?
Alienating?
After all, normal people would avoid such a scumbag person when they encounter him.
Moreover, the "gin" in Conan's words has always stepped on the moral bottom line and the edge of the law, so even a detective with a strong sense of justice would not want to deal with such a person...
After nearly a minute, Jiang Xia recovered from the shocking gossip and vaguely understood Conan's purpose.
Then fell into deep thought.
...Kudo-san is truly a talent.
Jiang Xia found that this was inconsistent with his two previous expectations - Conan told him about the organization, and he approached the black organization under the pretext of obtaining information; Conan did not tell him about the organization, and he used a good impression to approach the organization... They were all inconsistent.
...In the future, in public places, it is better to avoid the members of the organization as much as possible.
If you really can't avoid it, if you are seen acting with Gin again, you can only find reasons to expose Conan's lies today, such as "It's hard to imagine that there are such scum in the world, so I observed it secretly and then I found out and told you.
"It's different" and therefore went to investigate.
Of course, this is a trump card that can only be used at the last moment.
Because, if he says this, the younger detective will feel frustrated and avoid him from now on, and will no longer give him cases, that will be very bad... Well, being caught between the red and the black is really bad.
It’s so difficult, he obviously just wants to gather some murderous energy, pick up some ghosts, and live a peaceful life of becoming stronger...
…
Not long after the police boarded the train, the vehicle continued to move away, but there was still some time before it arrived at the station.
Since the murderer who shot Izumo's boss was caught on the spot, and the police had figured out the murderer's method and motive, they did not pay much attention to the other passengers.
Not only Jiang Xia, everyone else also returned to the box one after another, either catching up on sleep or packing their luggage.
Jiang Xia didn't sleep all night, but she picked up a lot of murderous energy.
He thought about tomorrow...no, it's already early morning...and remembered that he would arrive in Tottori Prefecture today, and that there was still a Spider Mansion case waiting for him in Tottori Prefecture, so he went to the smoking area and lit a stick of ghost mint--using
Yue Li Ze's sashimi rolls are freshly rolled, and a little bit of apple flavor sushi is added to enhance the flavor, which is very fresh.
It's just that when you suck it up, there will be a greedy mermaid hanging on your hand, which is a bit heavy.
Although he couldn't smoke a whole stick, this time the ghost mint was filled with high-end murderous energy. With the added energy, Jiang Xia's fatigue from the whole night was gone. He disposed of the cigarette butts and returned to his box.
As soon as his thoughts became clear, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered that something seemed to be missing this time.
If you think about it carefully, in this case in the original plot line, Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko also returned from the United States - Kudo Yusaku saw reports about the robbery of Izumo Keitaro's jewelry store, and he remembered that he had been there a long time ago.
The novel manuscript was lost and I felt that something was wrong, so I returned to Japan with Kudo Yukiko to see if there would be any case.
...But now, the two of them have not appeared. Perhaps it is because Kudo Yusaku has been busy recently and has not paid attention to the case reports here.
Fortunately, they didn't come, mainly because Kudo Yusaku didn't come - although the big Kudo's physical strength is worrisome, his mind is very useful. The father and son combined are not as easy to fool as the one son.
All in all, good luck.
…
The murder delayed a lot of time. At noon, the train carrying the two corpses arrived in Tottori Prefecture late.
Jiang Xia finished taking notes in the car, left his contact information with the Tottori Prefecture police, and got out of the car to leave.
By this time, Gin and Vodka had already gone to pick up the car - the organization also has a branch in Tottori Prefecture, and they had prepared a car for Gin in advance.
Conan hesitated for a while and found that Gin and Vodka left first. After a while, Jiang Xia got off the car.
He breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the plan to prevent the two parties from contacting had succeeded - Gin had indeed forgotten to threaten the innocent detective for the sake of business... Thinking of this, Conan waved goodbye to Jiang Xia in a good mood, followed by Mouri Kogoro and
Mao Lilan took a taxi to attend a class reunion.
Jiang Xia looked at the backs of the three people and had an impulse to follow them for a moment - these three people were walking side by side. No matter how you looked at them, they looked like something was going to happen around them, which was extremely tempting.
But when he thought about it, he actually didn't have much impression of "Mouri Kogoro-san's wedding banquet".
In other words, the probability of something happening there is not high.
In comparison, the Spider Mansion, which is still the organization's goal, is more worth visiting.
"Spider Mansion" is actually a nickname, referring to the Takeda family living on Puppet Peak.
Puppet Peak is the name of a mountain. Near it, the legend of the monster "Spider Lord" once spread, and related temples were built.
