Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 159 Prayer
However, in the end, Suzuki Sonoko was unable to summon the driver.

——The landline in Sijing’s villa is broken.

"These guys don't usually maintain the villa!" Suzuki Sonoko snorted and put down the handset with a click. "It seems that we also have to ride the car sent by Chairman Mitsui tomorrow morning."

The four dropped their phones, turned and went downstairs.

In the hall on the first floor, Reika Yotsui and her suitors were sitting around the table and playing cards.

Jiang Xia looked at the past one by one, and gradually identified this group of people with obvious characteristics.The names of the suitors are very characteristic: Ichieda Takashi, Nikaido Yuji, Mifune Takuya, Gojo Osamu, Mukuta Shoji... like a group of digital harem.

Sijing Lihua was holding a handful of cards, and seeing Jiang Xia approaching, she casually invited: "Are you playing?"

Jiang Xia responded, moved a stool over, picked a murderous person, and sat down next to him—the environment here is very comfortable for a psychic.

Suzuki Sonoko doesn't want to play with Yoshii Reika.

But seeing that Jiang Xia had already integrated into it in seconds, she silently swallowed her refusal and dragged the stool as well.

Both of them have joined, and of course Mao Lilan has followed.Not to mention Conan, he didn't have the right to choose, and he didn't even get the cards, so he was regarded as an accessory of Mao Lilan.

The scene turned into a group of people playing cards together.

On the way to the fight, when the round was over, Lihua Sii felt that the dress she was wearing was inconvenient, so she stood up: "I'm going to change."

……

Others sat at the table, chatting and waiting for her.

Chatting and chatting spit out a lot of information - this group of people, including Yoshii Lihua, used to be members of the yacht club, and they often went out diving and fishing together.

The word "before" is a bit subtle.

Conan always felt that there was something else hidden.

Just as he was about to ask, a ponytailed man took the initiative to say, "Yeah, that time was really good... It's a pity that such a tragedy happened two years ago."

The others were startled, and hastily stopped talking.They agreed not to bring up the past again.

Conan's expression changed slightly, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia, feeling some bad premonition in his heart - I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, every time Jiang Xia is present, just mention "the tragedy of x years ago" and so on topic, it is easy for some bad things to happen.

But... the world is scientific, no matter how coincidental it looks, it's just a pure coincidence, it doesn't matter whether Jiang Xia is present or not.Yes, it must be so.

Conan memorized the theory of materialism several times in his heart, but he was still a little weak.

In the end, I had to pray secretly, hoping that tonight would be a Christmas Eve.

……

The digital harem refused to reveal the details, so Jiang Xia didn't ask any further questions, anyway, sooner or later they could find out.

And he actually had some impressions of this matter.

——Two years ago, the members of the yacht club went to the island to play, but unfortunately encountered a storm, and were separated from Lihua Yooi.

At that time, a girl surnamed Nanao put on a life jacket and another one, and went to save Lihua Sii alone.Unexpectedly, Yoshii Reika was with Nikaido.There were not enough life jackets, and the two snatched Nanao's life jacket, causing her to die tragically in the sea.

It was precisely because of his previous accomplice that afterward, Nikaido blackmailed Lihua Yoshii in private and chose him as her husband.

……

Under the obstruction of others, the ponytail man finally did not speak out about this "tragedy".

But the old members of the Yacht Club knew in their hearts that after experiencing this episode, the atmosphere in the living room would inevitably become dull.

The digital harem had no intention of playing cards, and only then did they realize that there was one person missing.

They looked at their watches: "Why hasn't Missy come down yet?" It takes so long to change clothes?

The helper, Granny Mi, stood up: "I'll go up and have a look."

5 minute later.

The elderly old woman came back suspiciously: "...Missy is not in the room."

"……Oh!"

A young talent had a sudden thought: Could it be that Lihua Sijing felt that she was being neglected, so she took the initiative to hide and wait for them to find her?
——This is an excellent opportunity to increase your favorability, marry Lihua Sijing, take over the Sijing Group, and reach the pinnacle of life...

He jumped up: "I'll go find it!"

The others were stunned, but quickly reacted, shouting "I'm going too!" "Wait for me!", and chased them out in a chaotic manner.

Jiang Xia looked at their backs, hesitated for a moment, but didn't get up.

He didn't come here to choose a son-in-law today, and he didn't know Lihua Sijing well, so it would look a little abnormal to follow up now.

And... Anyway, those people have to come back here later.

……

Sure enough, 10 minutes later, the digital harem came back in a panic.

This time, their expressions finally became a little more serious: "Where's Miss Lihua?"

"did not find."

"I do not have either."
