The Corpse Collector In Conan: One thousand two hundred and ten【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 the content of President Ichikawa's commission 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 to choose from them." Although President Ichikawa looked down on these little brats, but thinking about the Suzuki Foundation behind Suzuki Sonoko, he still reluctantly said a few more words, "If they dare If they betray me, they will be considered my own flesh and blood, and I will not give them a penny."
Suzuki Sonoko has always been not interested in money matters. When he heard this topic, he suddenly felt that things became boring. He just wanted to finish the banquet tonight and fast forward to going to the beach tomorrow.
When Conan heard what President Ichikawa said, he couldn't help but slapped him: "That's what I said, but according to the inheritance law, they can still inherit a lot of inheritance—they can't get a penny. , is actually not accurate.”
Suzuki Sonoko yawned and looked at Conan: How does this child know so much about inheritance? His parents...
President Ichikawa didn't care about this, he just smiled mysteriously:
"That's true. But if they do something illegal and scandalous, it's a different matter-that's why I'm looking for a detective, to be honest, I always feel that something big is about to happen."
"..." Another riddler.
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 in a mysterious low voice: "Big thing? What do you mean?"
The Riddler really stopped talking.
Ichikawa showed a mysterious smile, changed the subject, and looked at Jiang Xia: "Since you came with Miss Suzuki's family, don't make public your detective status today, just keep a low profile and observe from the side—" I hope that what you dig out is worthy of my reward."
…
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 housekeeper's deafness, he murmured to his classmates in a low voice: "It's really hard to talk to this kind of person—so in the end What is 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 Ichie, 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.
Looking for a moment, she seemed to recognize the guest here, and she quickly approached with a wine glass.
"Jiang Xia? I often hear Sonoko mentioning you." Ichikawa Kazuchi 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 art exhibition soon, if you are interested..."
While chatting, a sharp voice suddenly came from the side:
"Sister? I didn't expect you to come to the banquet."
Ichikawa was stunned, 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——as the heir of the Ichikawa family, how can I be absent from 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 that you were going to run away from home, you were very stubborn. Why, now you are back for inheritance?"
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan heard this kind of family affairs without paying attention, and stood beside them, 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 have a bad relationship with your brother-in-law—is it because after you got married, he found out that you were not as rich as he thought, and did he regret marrying you, a shrew?"
When Mizue Ichikawa heard her mentioning this, his 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 Oh, tsk tsk, it’s already so poor, no wonder I put down my face and ran back to admit my mistake today.”
"Huh!"
In terms of embarrassment, the two unfortunately died together.
It seemed that they realized that if they continued to quarrel like this, their oldest black history would be ruthlessly stripped away, so the two sisters finally had to groan angrily, and each walked in different directions.
…
Jiang Xia originally wanted to keep marking 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~IndoMTL.com~ I saw before also came to the banquet at some time and was eating dinner.
Beside him, there was a circle of people with similar temperaments. 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 County, 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 Fan."
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 was, then leaned closer and reminded in a low voice: "Well, just now President Ichikawa seemed to say that we can't do it today. Publicize your identity as a detective, keep a low profile and observe from the sidelines."
