Corpse collector in Conan

Having said that, to be on the safe side, Maya Hashimoto still strongly recommends that Jiang Xia take Suzuki Sonoko with her when she goes there.

——Mrs. Su Fang looks like a good person, but as the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance: What if after Jiang Xia is deceived, she follows some unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, or what if the person arrives but refuses to give her land?

Maya Hashimoto: "..." But it's different with Sonoko Suzuki.

Mrs. Su Fang is a friend of Suzuki Ayako, and she must give some face to the Suzuki sister. It is impossible for her to do anything to trick people into her agency in front of Suzuki Sonoko.

And Hashimoto Maya can be sure that Suzuki Sonoko will definitely help in this matter - according to the density of Usa's minions, there must be his subordinates in the entertainment industry. Jiang Xia's time is limited. If he really goes to the entertainment industry, Suzuki Sonoko will have less time to contact him.

Therefore, the eldest lady of the consortium will definitely not let Jiang Xia enter that circle, which will only increase the number of competitors. Although colleague Juan Wang is annoying, he can be regarded as a good teammate when the goals are the same.

Maya Hashimoto didn't explain the reasons in such detail, but Jiang Xia was indeed a good boss who treated his assistants well. He didn't ask for details, but immediately accepted the suggestions.

But there is a small problem.

Jiang Xia: "In addition to Yuanzi, please bring Xiaolan and Conan with you. I heard that the wife has many interesting collections in her villa. It would be nice for everyone to visit them together."

Maya Hashimoto thought of that little kid with glasses: "..."

Hateful competitors increased.

…

On that day, Maya Hashimoto drove the car and they went to Mrs. Su Fang's villa in the suburbs.

The environment here is beautiful and the air is fresh. However, unfortunately, it happened to be cloudy when they came, and it happened to be winter. The trees in the forest were bare, their branches stretched straight into the sky, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

The weather can easily affect people's moods, but for Maya Hashimoto, the one that affects his mood the most is one of his elementary school student colleagues.

"Uncle Hashimoto has been very closely connected with big shots recently." Conan leaned on his seat with his hands on the back of his head, and began to brainstorm an innocent organization member with magic sounds, "First introduce the Tsun family to brother Jiang Xia, and then follow us We got to know people from the Fuze Consortium together, and now there’s Ms. Su Fang—just like those handsome villains in novels!”

A vein popped up on Maya Hashimoto's forehead: "..." You kid, you might as well speak more clearly. Don't think that by adding "handsome", I won't know that you want Jiang Xia to be suspicious of me.

Jiang Xia leaned on the passenger seat, reaping waves of iced black tea, thinking that Kudo-san was really on the right track: it’s a pity that Amuro’s boss couldn’t hire child labor, otherwise he would have to find a way to sign Conan under his command, and then he could He rushed around with the guardians on his left and right.

Maya Hashimoto was very tired. It would be fine if these were just pure coincidences, but he knew very well: meeting these important figures was not a so-called coincidence at all, but a pair of dark hands quietly pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Thinking of the owner of those black hands, Maya Hashimoto didn't dare to explain, worried that if she didn't say something right, it would be self-defeating and fall into the trap of this hateful old employee.

So he addressed the problem in an adult manner: "Kids, uncle, please concentrate on driving - the dinner Mrs. Su Fang is hosting this time is about a car accident-related theme. I can't go to her house. It would be too funny to have an accident on the road because of distraction.”

Conan pushed up his glasses silently: "..." A threat, a naked threat! On the surface, this person was saying that it was unsafe to chat while driving, but in fact, what Maya Hashimoto wanted to express must be that the lives of other people in the car were under his control.

After all, there is only one road here, and there are no sharp bends on the road. It is very flat, and they are the only car on the entire road - even people who have only driven bumper cars can drive there safely, but Maya Hashimoto, an experienced driver, said He didn't dare to be distracted from answering questions...

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden "squeaking" sound of tires scraping against the ground, and the vehicle suddenly came to a sudden stop.

Conan, who was sitting in the middle of the back seat, was caught off guard and flew out from between the seats. However, before he patted the front window of the car, a friendly hand was stretched out from the passenger seat, and Jiang Xia patted him back into his seat. superior.

Conan fell back, covering his head and asked: "Why did you brake suddenly?!"

Could it be that Maya Hashimoto was hit on the target by what he said, so he measured the positions of everyone in the car and planned to use this to kill him accurately?

Different people obviously have very different understandings of the same thing - at the same time, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko blurted out: "A flat tire?!"

Jiang Xia shook his head: "There is something on the road."

He opened the door and got out of the car, and several classmates in the back row followed curiously.

A few people walked around to the car and took a look. They saw a fallen dead tree lying across the road, cutting off half of the driveway. The fall was quite deliberate.

Not only was it perfectly blocked from the road, but a very eye-catching large white paper was nailed to the tree trunk.

Maya Hashimoto stared at the piece of paper, and her heart thumped: "..." It's started! As expected, Uzo would not let such an interesting celebrity go!

While he was quietly stunned, Jiang Xia stepped forward to remove the white paper and unfolded it to take a look.

Inside, words cut out from newspapers were collaged into a threatening letter:

[If you dare to assist Su Fanghongzi in hosting that charity dinner, I will definitely make you regret it.

——The Messenger of the Curse Mask]

"The messenger of the cursed mask?" Mao Lilan touched his arm, "What the hell is this? It sounds so scary."

Suzuki Sonoko was more courageous, and she snorted: "It's probably some competitor's little trick - really, if you have a grudge against Mrs. Su Fang, just deal with her face to face, why would you make things difficult for innocent guests passing by? "

As a result, they almost hit a tree and the car was destroyed, killing everyone.

The enthusiastic detective sighed: "I heard that Mrs. Su Fang invited other guests today. It's too dangerous to keep the tree lying on the road. Please move it away."

The fallen solid tree was very heavy, but it was not a big deal in front of this group of people.

Not long after, the tree was thrown to the dirt ground next to it by Gudong. Everyone returned to the car, wiped their hands and continued moving forward.

After walking along the road for a while, a magnificent European-style mansion gradually appeared in front of us. The house is symmetrically distributed, with a total height of three floors, and a spacious courtyard in front. It happened to have just snowed, and the white snow decorated the dark walls, looking like... a gorgeous theater.

Maya Hashimoto: "..."

He silently turned into the yard and parked the car obediently.
