Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 418 Huiyuan Ai: Something is wrong with the gin
Seeing that Jiang Xia returned home smoothly, Hui Yuanai finally relaxed a little.After all, as far as she knows, the loss rate of Gin Jiu's peripheral members is really high...

Looking at Jiang Xia who was opening the door, Hui Yuanai ran to the wall, climbed over the gap in the fence, and turned into Jiang Xia's yard.

Conan followed immediately.

Unlike Haibara Ai, Conan didn't know that Jiang Xia was a member of an ancestral organization.

Therefore, he was still thinking about the thing that Qin Jiu showed Jiang Xia a look of admiration on the Big Dipper a few days ago.

Although at that time, Conan remembered that gin and vodka left the station first, and there were more than a dozen exits there, it was unlikely that the people in black would be able to catch Jiang Xia and pull him into the gang.On the other hand, Conan felt that he had also cut off Jiang Xia's curiosity about gin in his own way, and tried his best to push Jiang Xia away from the organization - there should be no intersection between the two sides

But when I came back, I remembered the cunning of the organization, and Hui Yuanai, who was very familiar with Gin, was shocked after hearing his story of "meeting Gin and Jiang Xia on the Big Dipper at the same time", Conan, who was very suspicious, suddenly became vigilant again, wondering if the organization was more persistent in "wooing the talents he liked" than he predicted before?

The two fake children ran to Jiang Xia's side in such a worried manner.

Jiang Xia glanced at their expressions, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Hui Yuanai's lips moved, but he hesitated to speak.

She is actually a little concerned about Jiang Xia's current situation.

In Huiyuan Ai's impression, Gin rarely had repeated contact with a specific peripheral member in a formal mission—one was that Gin's temporary subordinates had a high loss rate, and many of them were dismissed because of mistakes made midway. Killed with a single shot, or died of his own mistakes, the dead naturally cannot be reused.

The second is that Gin is worried that after the regular contact, people with ulterior motives will try to use that information to arrest him like Akai Shuichi did back then, so he will take the initiative to avoid this situation.

So now, after Hui Yuan Ai discovered that Jiang Xia and Qin Jiu had appeared on the same occasion several times, she felt more and more wrong.

——In the past, when Hui Yuan Ai had not defected and was still "Xue Li", because Jiang Xia's parents had pushed her away in a car accident, and she had turned into flesh... Shirley had always taken good care of Jiang Xia they left behind .

At that time, because of Jiang Xia's indifferent attitude, Xueli thought that this colleague's child hated her very much, and worried that Jiang Xia would refuse her help, so occasionally, she would avoid going out in person, and let Qin Jiu give Jiang Xia a few safer tasks. This can not only achieve the task rate required by the organization, avoid Jiang Xia being sent as cannon fodder because he failed the assessment, but also ensure his safety as much as possible.

However, after she defected, Jiang Xia would still appear near Qinjiu from time to time...

This can't be an ordinary "encounter" - if it was really "encounter" to this extent, Qin Jiu's bullet might have been embedded in Jiang Xia's head long ago, even if he has no proof.

There is only one truth, rule out other possibilities... Hui Yuanai thought to himself, could it be that Qin Jiu discovered Jiang Xia's talent and wanted to promote him?
Thinking of this possibility, Hui Yuan Ai's mood dropped a lot.

——In her opinion, for Jiang Xia, who once said frankly that "only treats the organization as a job" and sounds like she just wants to paddle happily, this is obviously a risky thing.

Hui Yuanai was very concerned about the situation.

however……

She glanced at Conan next to her calmly, and in order to help Jiang Xia cover her vest, she could only silently swallow back what she wanted to say.

...Forget it, since Jiang Xia seems to be fine, let's change to a more everyday topic for now.

Hui Yuanai reached into his pocket, touched it, and took out an exquisite gift box.Palm-sized, tied with beautiful ribbons.

She took Jiang Xia's hand, and put the handmade chocolate into his palm: "Giri chocolate—today happens to be Valentine's Day, and this is for you."

...I heard that high school students in normal schools like to give each other chocolates during this festival.

Other high school students have it, Jiang Xia had better have it too, so that he can realize that he is actually a student who should put his studies first.A good mentality can also relieve the pressure of being forced to work in the organization.

——When making chocolate yesterday, Haibara Ai thought so.

But now...

She glanced at the little box of chocolates she had made.

Then he raised his head again, and silently glanced at Jiang Xia's full mailbox and the gift boxes piled up to the top of the mailbox.

Suddenly, she understood why she didn't see Jiang Xia when she occasionally came to the living room to guard Jiang Xia this morning, instead, she would see several different female high school students every time.

...Jiang Xia's high school experience seems to be very perfect in some strange aspects, even a bit too perfect... Speaking of which, with his frequency of skipping classes, how did he meet so many female classmates who knew his address?
Maybe someone is secretly selling Jiang Xia's address...

Hui Yuanai looked back at the pile of chocolates with complicated emotions, and wanted to raise his hand to pat Jiang Xia on the shoulder, but he couldn't reach it.

In the end, he had no choice but to pat Jiang Xia's hand, and sighed softly: "Pay attention to personal privacy."

Jiang Xia was a little puzzled where she came from with this emotion, but he had long discovered that people in this world seem to be very good at making up brains. Everyone has a variety of worlds in their brains, and it is normal for him to be unable to keep up with his thoughts.

So he nodded skillfully, pretending to understand.

He glanced at the chocolate Hui Yuan mourned for, thought for a while, and took out a small paper box from his pocket:

"When I left, I didn't expect that there would be a festival so soon, and I didn't have time to prepare a holiday gift...I'll give you this as a return gift. I brought it back from this business trip."

...Although it is a little different from chocolate, at least the color is similar.

"Thank you." Hui Yuanai raised his hand and took it, curiously looking at the hand-folded paper box.

The carton is only as big as the circle between the thumb and index finger. Judging from the size, it may be a small jewelry inside.

Judging from what he just said, this should be something Jiang Xia bought for himself...

Just as he was thinking, Hui Yuanai suddenly heard a soft "rustling" sound coming from the carton, and felt a slight tremor at the place where the palm of his hand touched the bottom of the carton, as if something was scratching.

Haibara Ai:"……?"

She was dazed for a moment, vaguely having a bad premonition, raised her head and glanced at Jiang Xia inquiringly.

Seeing that Jiang Xia had finished delivering the gift in return, she had straightened up and was concentrating on looking at the chocolates on the mailbox next to her, as if she was thinking about what to do with the pile of sweets.

...Jiang Xia's attention did not continue to focus on the small paper box, which shows that this is not something shady, it should be a normal gift.

Hui Yuanai hesitated for a moment, but she still couldn't resist her curiosity. She opened the small paper box a little and looked inside.
