Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1210 1210 [Thank you for the doctor sent by the organization]

President Ichikawa continued the doctor's words: "So I will step down immediately, but before that, I need to determine my successor."

Suzuki Sonoko thought of President Ichikawa's entrustment just now, and thought about his two daughters, his expression became a little strange for a moment: "So you asked Jiang Xia to observe them, to see who is more suitable to be the heir?"

"Oh, I didn't say I would choose from them." Although President Ichikawa looked down on these little brats, but thinking about the Suzuki Foundation behind Suzuki Sonoko, he reluctantly said a few more words, "If they dare to betray My business, even if it is my own flesh and blood, I will not give them a penny."

Suzuki Sonoko has always been not interested in money matters. Hearing this topic, she suddenly felt that things became boring. She just wanted to finish tonight's banquet quickly and fast forward to going to the beach tomorrow.

When Conan heard President Ichikawa's words, he couldn't help but slapped him a bit: "That's what I said, but according to the inheritance law, they can still inherit a lot of reserved inheritance-the saying that they can't get a penny is actually not true. Inaccurate."

Suzuki Sonoko yawned and looked at Conan silently: This kid is so young, why does he know so much about inheritance? He always thinks his parents are very dangerous...

President Ichikawa didn't care about this, he just smiled mysteriously:
"That's true. But if they've done something illegal and scandalous, it's a different story--that's why I've got detectives, to tell you the truth, I always feel like something big is about to happen."

"..." Another riddleman.

However, Jiang Xia has seen many similar guys, so he doesn't have much dislike for the Riddler. After all, according to his experience, this kind of person can always bring him benefits in various aspects.

So he cooperated and became serious, and asked mysteriously in a low voice: "Big thing? What do you mean?"

The Riddler did not speak.

Ichikawa showed a mysterious smile, changed the subject, and looked at Jiang Xia: "Since you are here with Miss Suzuki, don't flaunt your detective status today, just keep a low profile and observe from the side - I hope you can find out What you get is worthy of the reward I give."

……

After receiving the task, Jiang Xia and the others did not stay in the study, and quickly followed the butler to the venue.

Entering the corridor, Suzuki Sonoko took a breath of the fresh air of the seaside city, stretched his waist, and relying on the old butler's deafness, he whispered to his classmates: "It's really hard to talk to this kind of person—so what's the big deal?" ?”

"I don't know." Mao Lilan watched the lively banquet scene in the courtyard through the window, sighed, and prayed sincerely, "I hope nothing happens tonight."

Hearing this, Jiang Xia raised her hand and touched Conan's head.

Conan looked up at him in confusion: "...Huh?"

……

With different thoughts, the four followed the butler to the banquet venue.

People of various identities came and went back and forth at the venue, but the housekeeper quickly fixed his eyes on a woman, and introduced to Jiang Xia in a low voice: "That is Ms. Ichikawa Kazucho, the eldest daughter of Mr. Ichikawa, who is currently running a gallery."

Just as he was talking, Ichikawa Kazuju looked towards them as if he had given birth to a clairvoyant ear.

Her eyes paused for a moment, as if she recognized the guest here, she quickly approached with a wine glass.

"Jiangxia? I often hear Sonoko mentioning you." Ichikawa Kazucho showed them a friendly smile.

Although she was born in Mie Prefecture, the gallery under her name is opened in Tokyo, and she usually has contact with celebrities in Tokyo.Ichikawa thought of something, and quickly took out a few tickets enthusiastically: "My gallery will hold an exhibition soon, if you are interested..."

While chatting, a sharp voice suddenly came in from the side:

"Sister? I didn't expect you to come to the banquet."

Ichikawa was startled, and soon recognized who the owner of the voice was.

The polite and gentle look on her face disappeared immediately, and turned into a cold smile: "Of course I will come - how can I, as the heir of the Ichikawa family, be absent on such an occasion?"

"Heir?" Mizue Ichikawa, the second daughter of President Ichikawa, laughed when he heard this, "But a woman's intuition tells me that my father has no such plan."

She looked at her sister's slightly raised chin, and said with a blow: "When you quarreled with your father before and shouted to run away from home, weren't you very stubborn. Why, now you're back for inheritance?"

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan heard this kind of family affairs inadvertently, and stood by, a little embarrassed.

Jiang Xia looked at Sister Ichikawa for a while, and Sister Ichikawa for a while, took a sip of the juice in the goblet, and watched silently.

Ichikawa caught a glimpse of their expressions from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, and began to expose his younger sister's shortcomings: "Didn't you marry in a hurry and escape from this house because you didn't want to be nagged by him? Alas, it's a pity to hear that you and your brother-in-law Is it because after getting married, he found that you are not as rich as he imagined, and regretted marrying you, a shrew?"

When Mizue Ichikawa heard her mentioning this, her face flushed red: "You, you...you have time to take care of other people's housework, so why not take care of your gallery—I heard that you were recently sued for selling counterfeit goods, tsk tsk , has gotten to this point of poverty, no wonder I put aside my face and ran back to admit my mistake today."

"Humph!"

In terms of embarrassment, the two unfortunately died together.

Seemingly realizing that if they continue to quarrel like this, their oldest black history will be ruthlessly stripped away, the two sisters finally had to snort angrily, and each went in different directions, out of sight and out of sight, and broke up unhappy.

……

Jiang Xia originally wanted to keep staring at people, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something and turned his head to look to the other side of the venue.

——The taciturn "Doctor Okano" I saw before also came to the banquet at some time and was having dinner.

There was a circle of people with similar temperaments around him. Those people were obviously not familiar with the other guests in the banquet hall, and they chatted in low voices to themselves.

The old butler keenly noticed the direction of Jiang Xia's gaze, and introduced intimately:

"Those are Dr. Okano's peers—the doctor's union meeting this year happened to be held in Mie Prefecture, and it just finished at noon. Chairman Ichikawa heard that a team of doctors came, so he spent a lot of money to invite them to come for a consultation."

Jiang Xia looked at the group of doctors, and his eyes stopped for a while on a few of them, feeling a little moved.

Mao Lilan quickly noticed his eager eyes.

She remembered Jiang Xia's habit of "like to find people everywhere to change business cards", and looked at the window of the villa where President Ichikawa is, then leaned closer and reminded in a low voice: "Well, just now President Ichikawa seemed to say that you can't publicize your identity as a detective today. , keep a low profile and observe from the side.”
