Chapter 300: Face base is risky
Chapter 300 Face-Based Risk
As someone who has spoilers, Jiang Xia knows that there are ghosts to pick up at this magician's gathering, and he also knows that Suzuki Sonoko is one of the participants.
Originally, thinking of some of Suzuki Sonoko's little hobbies, Jiang Xia thought that she might not come to him, so he often listened to the radio during this time, and planned to rush to the party site to pick up the corpse as soon as he heard news related to this matter.
Unexpectedly, Suzuki Sonoko sent an invitation to go together directly.
After Jiang Xia replied to the text message, Rua held the mermaid's tail, which felt very good, and was a little moved: "She is really a good person."
The mermaid wanted to slap it with its tail. But before taking action, she looked at the fresh murderous aura that Jiang Xia had just exchanged for her in her arms, struggled for a moment, and silently flattened her tail that was rolled up and charged.
…
On the day of the party, Kogoro Mori insisted to send them there.
—This middle-aged detective doesn’t follow the trend of the times too closely, and has an instinctive resistance to things like “netizens face the base”. I always feel that I have seen a lot of cases where netizens cheated for money and **** before, so I must see it with my own eyes” Netizens" are what kind of people can be at ease.
On the road, the car was full of happy air, even Sonoko Suzuki, who had done multiple-choice questions before, was no exception. As an optimistic girl, she quickly thought of a new way to play.
Suzuki Sonoko showed a wicked smile that couldn't be concealed. He clawed at the back of the co-pilot's seat expectantly, and poked Jiang Xia with his fingers: "This time, you can replace me. My forum id is 'the disciple of the magic messenger'."
Jiang Xia looked at her suspiciously: "Replace you?"
"That's right! You don't have to reveal your real name on the forum, and you only use text to communicate. So I always pretended to be a boy and said that I would bring friends to this party." The more Suzuki Sonoko thought about it, the more interesting it became.
Originally, she wanted others to be shocked because "the disciple of the magic messenger is actually a girl", to scare the netizens, and by the way, she used this huge contrast to make the red herring bow down under her little leather boots.
But now, because it is not easy to blatantly tease red herrings, in Suzuki Sonoko's view, most of the fun of dropping the vest is lost.
She thought about it carefully, and then suddenly felt that it was actually very interesting to make Jiang Xia pretend to be a "disciple of the magician".
In this way, when she uses this id water forum again in the future, she seems to be able to obtain a different kind of happiness. Those who can't get him will get his identity and so on... Cough, cough, in short, the rare face-based activities, can't let it be It ends peacefully!
Mao Lilan and Jiang Xia watched Suzuki Sonoko laugh more and more like a villain: "..."
In the end, Jiang Xia nodded with the anticipation of a "villain". Fortunately, he knew Sonoko Suzuki's real purpose, otherwise he would not dare to agree directly just by seeing her weird smile...
As for whether Suzuki Sonoko would post strange things in the forum in his name afterwards, Jiang Xia was not worried.
—In my impression, the other members who came to the party had actually discovered the "disciple of the magic messenger" who claimed to be a boy. His tone and words were completely a girl, so the real person should also be a girl.
Therefore, Jiang Xia felt that the problem was not a big deal. This kind of strange performance will definitely not last as long as Suzuki Sonoko had expected. As soon as they met, the vest and eight achievements were dropped directly.
So there's no need to specifically refuse, just take it as a thank you to Suzuki Sonoko for inviting him to come to the case, and let her entertain herself for a while on the road.
…
Mouri Kogoro's car gradually drove into the deep forest and stopped in front of a suspension bridge.
It happens to be winter now, and it just snowed heavily. The bottom of the suspension bridge is usually a deep and wide valley with steep cliffs, and the bridge and the rope handrail are covered with a heavy layer of snow.
Jiang Xia stepped on the bridge with a few others, and he could smell a faint smell of gasoline amid the creaking noise.
Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko were concentrating on chatting and didn't notice anything unusual. Conan, unfortunately, caught a cold and was wearing a huge mask, sneezing one by one.
Only Mouri Kogoro felt something was wrong. He looked at both sides suspiciously, raised his hand and fanned in front of his nose: "Is there any strange smell?"
Jiang Xia tightened the scarf that covered his nose and mouth as if nothing had happened, and took a sentence from Maolilan naturally, pretending that he was also concentrating on chatting.
Mori Kogoro just muttered casually and didn't pay much attention to it.
A gust of mountain wind blew past, and the smell that had just gathered a little faded away. He immediately forgot what he had just thought, followed behind the others, and quickly walked across the bridge.
…
Opposite the bridge, stands a large snow-covered pine tree.
A group of people walked through the jungle with poor view and walked for a while, and a three-storey villa appeared in front of them.
As the parent who came to "investigate", Kogoro Mori straightened his collar seriously, and wanted to be the first to ring the doorbell to shock netizens who might harbor evil intentions.
However, just as he took a step, he was ruthlessly held down by Suzuki Sonoko.
Suzuki Sonoko turned around and kept winking at Jiang Xia.
She signed up with the id of "the disciple of the magic messenger", so she felt that, according to Mian Ji's general idea, the first person to ring the doorbell now will be regarded as the "disciple of the magic messenger", and the others are "accompanying". The disciple of the magic messenger" came to the friend.
Suzuki Sonoko urged in a low voice with bright eyes, and added a reminder: "Don't forget my code name - 'the disciple of the magic messenger'!"
The code name... How old is he, how come he is still so middle school, and the code name is so long, it's not compelling at all. Jiang Xia sighed faintly and stepped forward to ring the doorbell.
After more than ten seconds, a kind-faced middle-aged man appeared at the door.
He is one of the participants in the party of magician lovers and the owner of this villa, Ara Yoshino.
The moment the door opened, Jiang Xia quietly moved to the side, revealing Suzuki Sonoko and the others behind him.
Just when Jiang Xia reported the id of "the disciple of the magic messenger", while waiting for Araki to turn his attention to Suzuki Sonoko or Maurilan, and to expose her intention to wear a vest, Araki looked at him for a while.
Then the uncle was surprised: "The disciple of the magic messenger... You are actually a man?! Judging from your usual words, you are completely a little girl."
“…” That’s right, you’re not wrong at all. So take a look behind me... Jiang Xia secretly stepped back a little.
Arashi finally found out that there was someone else behind him.
He looked out, and when he saw two high school girls, he remembered something, and the smile on his face became weird.
Then he looked back and looked at Jiang Xia up and down with a bizarre look that combined "this is a talent" and "this is a scumbag".
Jiang Xia: "...?"
