Chapter 464: Jiangxia's horror style
Chapter 464 Jiang Xia's horror style
Haihara Ai thought about Jiang Xia's well-meaning and expectant tone just now, and the little hand that had nowhere to put rubbed the phone case, entangled in a tangle.
After thinking for a moment, she did not answer Jiang Xia's question.
He just said casually: "I'm going to make your favorite fried shrimp and saury tonight, but I've run out of ingredients at home. That... Next to the south exit of Mihua Station, the seafood in Dayou Shopping Mall is relatively fresh, if you have time, you can Go buy me some back."
Jiang Xia paused for a while, then said "um": "No problem, I'll go take a look."
The short call hangs up quickly.
Hai Yuanai looked at the darkened mobile phone screen, remembered the ease and joy in Jiang Xia's last sentence, and the bear children who were having fun in Dayou Commercial Building at this time, raised his hand and pressed his heart.
...a pain of conscience.
But... But Jiang Xia is not a bad person, and he never hits children. Those children often encounter kidnapping, robbery and other cases, and even murder.
When this kind of danger, Jiang Xia is watching, maybe it will be safer...
Ai Haibara simply comforted herself, then put away her phone, went back to the kitchen, put on her gloves, and continued to fiddle with the oven and the desserts inside.
…
Beside Rice Flower Station.
The first floor of Dayou Commercial Building.
Conan, Ayumi, Yuanta, Mitsuhiko, four children sitting in the waiting area outside the cashier, each handed an ice cream, happily eating dessert.
They just played video games for a while in the arcade on the fifth floor. After playing the game, it is customary to go to the underground supermarket to buy ice cream and eat, and take a rest.
While they were discussing where to play tomorrow, the number of passengers around them gradually increased.
Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko held the ice cream that was about to finish in his hand, and shrank back carefully: "There are a lot of people."
Yoshida Ayumi often goes out to the supermarket with her mother, and is very knowledgeable to a few little boys: "Because it's past four o'clock in the afternoon, it's time for everyone to buy dinner materials."
"Dinner..."
Mitsuhiko took a bite of ice cream and suddenly remembered a new way to play.
He suggested with interest: "By the way, let's play the menu reasoning game!"
"?" "?" "?"
Three suspicious eyes.
Conan was attracted by the word "reasoning" and repeated the strange new term suspiciously: "Menu reasoning?"
"That's right!" Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko pointed to the shelf next to the four of them.
On the shelf, there are some small rectangular plastic boxes, which are full of discarded receipts - shoppers will organize shopping bags and put change on the shelf. During this process, some people see the receipts in their wallets and take them out and throw them away.
Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko explained the new gameplay: "'Menu reasoning' refers to using those small tickets to speculate what each household is going to eat tonight--"
said he stretched out his hand and grabbed a few small tickets while no one was paying attention: "It sounds interesting, then I'll start!"
Yuanta wrote "Not interested" all over his face, and sat beside him and concentrated on eating the cone. He still prefers exciting adventures to guessing puzzles.
Conan is not very interested in this kind of reasoning that is about "one plus one equals two", and:
"...This is an invasion of personal privacy."
Mitsuhiko and Ayumi shook their heads like a rattle: "Detectives don't pay attention to these things! And don't you usually inquire about other people's privacy?"
Conan blushed: "..."
...I couldn't refute it for a while.
"Okay, listen carefully, I'm about to start!" Mitsuhiko picked up one and read the items on it, "Potatoes, onions, 6-pack of eggs, a pack of ground beef, bread flour..."
Yoshida Ayumi sounded familiar, and quickly replied: "It's a creamy patty! Hmm... Wait, it seems that there is still a shortage of flour..."
Conan listened with his ears, and couldn't help but interject: "Flour is a regular material at home, so you don't need to go out to buy it."
"Yes, then I guessed it right!" Ayumi was happy again.
She also brought over a small ticket and read the contents: "Taotori's chicken thighs, tomato sauce, tomatoes, cabbage, celery..."
"It must be chicken rice! The one with vegetable salad!"
——It turned out to be the voice of Kojima Motota.
Although he doesn't like guessing puzzles, he is very interested in what he eats... And now that it's nearly dinner time, he's actually starting to get hungry.
Kojima Genta decisively joined the game of "menu reasoning".
He reached out to grab the receipt.
However, the hand stretched out, but it was above the receipt box, and it touched the other hand that reached out.
Kojima Genta raised his head subconsciously, saw the person in front of him clearly, and the smile froze at the corner of his mouth.
The other three children turned their heads in confusion when they heard Yuan Tai's brusque laughter that stopped abruptly.
——I saw Jiang Xia standing behind them, and took out the receipt from the receipt box first.
Jiang Xia looked down at the paper in his hand, then looked at the four children, and said friendly: "What are you playing?"
His kind eyes swept over, and the three children froze together.
The only one who could speak normally, Conan turned around and told his classmates: "It's a new way for children to find out - from the items on the receipt, guess what the buyer is going to eat for dinner..."
Before he finished speaking, the three children next to him suddenly stood up, turned to Jiang Xia in unison, and bowed as if admitting their mistake: "I'm sorry! We shouldn't invade other people's privacy, and we won't do it again next time!"
Conan: "...?"
...You didn't say that just now!
Jiang Xia looked at the three heads that were in front of him, and touched them before they could react.
Then, when the three children rubbed their necks in horror and checked that their heads were still there, they nodded and commented: "Very creative game."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Xia also looked at the stack of small tickets in his hand, and read the top one as if participating in the game: "Raincoat, gloves, hemp rope, large black plastic bag, hatchet..."
Conan: "???"
...how come to Jiangxia, the style of painting is suddenly wrong.
Wait, this floor is a food supermarket, don’t sell these things at all!
"Let me see."
Conan jumped out of his seat, hurried to Jiang Xia's side, and took the receipt from him.
He originally suspected that Jiang Xia was frightening the children.
However, after a quick glance, these items were actually written on the receipt. The name of the store is not this supermarket, but a tool store across the street.
The stack of receipts that Jiang Xia took, each with overlapping creases—the person who threw it down probably took out a large stack of accumulated receipts from the wallet when he threw it away, and gathered them together. throw away.
…Since the receipt is real, why does this person buy these things?
It's a knife, a glove to keep out fingerprints, and a raincoat to avoid blood splashes... What? What does this man want to do? !
