Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1047 1047 [Jiang Xia, be careful with Uzuo] Ask for a monthly ticket (づど)
Toru Amuro: "..."

"Sorry, I still have things to do." He raised his hand to catch Jiang Xia, and skillfully pushed him forward, "You can ask him to investigate the case."

"Hmph, just a so-called 'threat letter' and you want to ask detectives for help. Do I look like the kind of woman who can't calm down?"

Okano Rika flicked her sleeves, and let out a disdainful snort from her nasal cavity.

After humming, she arrogantly glanced at the person who was pushed out by Amuro Toru, her eyes fell on Jiang Xia, and her tone gradually became less firm.

After a while, Okano Rika thought about it and said:
"However, anyway, there is still some time before the banquet starts, and you are idle if you are idle. If you want to help, I will reluctantly agree-after the matter is over, I can give you a set of autographs for you to take Show off to those around you."

Suzuki Sonoko: "..."

Conan: "..."

Toru Amuro was used to clients with all kinds of tempers, so he didn't have any special reaction to Okano Rika's attitude.

He whispered to Jiang Xia behind him: "If you meet someone suspicious, please contact me immediately. Also..." He sighed, "Be careful—there may be other cadres around tonight."

Jiang Xia was startled, nodded, and his expression became a little more serious.

His eyes swept across the hall, as if he was instinctively looking for that dangerous "other cadre".

Seeing that Jiang Xia raised his vigilance, Amuro felt relieved a lot.

He took the tray and wandered away quickly.

……

A few meters away, Conan turned his head, caught a glimpse of the scene just now, and originally wanted to get closer to eavesdrop.

However, in order to solicit customers, Conan ran to Okano Rika and the others.When he came back to his senses and wanted to come over, Toru Amuro had already left.

Conan: "..."

He had no choice but to walk to Jiang Xia's side, glanced at Toru Amuro's back, and asked slightly vigilantly: "What did he say just now?"...Sneaky, always feeling that the boss is planning something.

Jiang Xia came back to her senses, looked down at Conan, with a look of embarrassment that she really wanted to tell him, but couldn't say: "It's a confidential matter of the firm, it's related to the client."

"That's it..." Conan retreated unwillingly—although he was skeptical about the authenticity of the answer, but Jiang Xia said so, and if he asked again, he might not be able to ask anything.

I am debating whether to follow Toru Amuro secretly.

At this time, a voice from the side broke in.

"Well, hello."

Okano Rika's assistant - the woman in a suit and skirt came over.

She looked at the two high school students in front of her, especially the one elementary school student. Since she rarely had contact with such a young work partner, she seemed a little at a loss. It took a few seconds before she got back to work.

"I'm Ozaki Sui, Ms. Okano Rika's assistant." She bowed lightly to the three of them, then straightened up, and gestured to the corridor behind her, "—please follow me here. "

……

Of course, it is not good to discuss the threat letter in public.

Ozaki Tsui quickly led the three of them to catch up with Okano Rika who was walking ahead by herself.

A group of people came to an elegant lounge.

The lounge was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and Ozaki Tsui invited them to sit down at the coffee table and pour a few cups of tea.

After the etiquette was over, she carefully took out an envelope and put it in front of Jiang Xia.

"This is the threatening letter we received this morning. I don't know when it was thrown into the door of the office. I checked the surveillance and found no one..." She shook her head helplessly, "I have to trouble you."

Jiang Xia nodded, picked up the envelope and checked it briefly, then opened it to check.

There is only a piece of thick letter paper inside, the paper is of good quality, and the fingers can even feel the uneven texture on it.

The paper was folded in two.After unfolding, there is no written text on it, but it is collaged like a traditional kidnapping letter—the sender will cut out the individual words needed from various places and put together a letter like this:

[The flower of death will bloom at the party tonight]
The inscription in the lower right corner is not words, but a rose, which is so bright red that it seems that blood will ooze out at any time.

"Ozaki just loves making a fuss out of a molehill."

A few meters away, Okano Rika was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, holding a small brush to touch up her makeup.

Hearing several people discussing the threat letter, she leaned closer to the mirror, took a look at her perfect makeup, then turned her head, and said with a cheerful smile:
"If you want me to say, this must be a prank deliberately left by someone who is jealous of my achievements. If I affect my performance because of fear, that person will be very proud. If I am as cautious as Ozaki and terminate the performance directly, then he Just make a profit—oh, he had a good idea, but unfortunately, I won’t do this kind of loss-making business, so I don’t have time to waste on them!”

"Is this the avant-garde flower arrangement artist?" Conan whispered to Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko, "I don't know if the flowers are not avant-garde. Compared with traditional artists, their temper is very avant-garde..."

"Flowers are also very avant-garde." Suzuki Sonoko also whispered to him across Jiang Xia:
"I haven't seen the actual scene, but I heard that her performance is like a powerful magician--the flowers that were closed last second, seem to be able to hear her orders, and they will suddenly appear at the moment the work is completed. Blooming, very beautiful."

Okano Rika has very pointed ears.

She looked at the few people who were whispering together, frowned and observed for a moment, then suddenly looked at Conan accurately, and asked suspiciously: "Little devil, what were you secretly talking about me just now?"

Conan: "?!"

The corner of his eye twitched, and he waved his hand, trying to fool him.

However, before he could think of an excuse, someone knocked on the door of the lounge suddenly.

Okano Rika was startled, and was about to respond impatiently.

But before she could speak, the person who knocked on the door had pushed down the handle, pushed the door open, and entered the room.

……

It was a burly man in a suit, with a flower on his chest like all the guests, walking like the wind.

As soon as Ozaki Tsui looked up and saw him, her face changed slightly.

She stood up abruptly, with a trace of respect in her movements: "Mr. Baimu."

Seeing the unfamiliar faces in the room, Daisuke Shiraki frowned, apparently very displeased with this behavior of bringing "outsiders" into the lounge.

However, after a while, his eyes swept over Suzuki Sonoko's dress skirt, and finally said nothing.

—Those were, after all, guests at a banquet.And as long as he bears the title of "guest", as the banquet organizer, Daisuke Shiraki must be more polite, which is the industry's default rule.

So he looked away again, pretending that he didn't see the three extra guys in the room, and turned to Ozaki Tsui.
