Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 824 Are you going to start?

  Belmode, holding the glass beer mug in his hand, resting his cheek in one hand, casually commented on the song chosen by the band: “Eternal love… Sounds as energetic as this lead singer.”

Jiang Xia nodded and heard that she didn’t know the female lead singer on stage, so she chatted with her: “This is Yukiko Watanabe. Although she hasn’t officially debuted yet, she is favored by many because of her strength. I heard that it won’t take long, It will become a new star in the singer world. But there are also people who say…”

   Having said this, he hesitated. He picked up the cup and took a sip of the juice, pressed back the words behind, and began to concentrate on the singing.

Beside   , Mao Lilan had already secretly raised his ears, wanting to hear gossip.

  —Jiang Xia sometimes goes to some detective variety shows to promote his… ahem, his boss’s detective agency. In addition, he seems to have a good relationship with Miss Yoko, so he knows a lot of internal affairs in the entertainment industry.

  Mao Lilan: “…” It’s a pity that Jiang Xia rarely speaks out, especially some negative news.

   The star-chasing girl Mao Lilan was halfway through listening to the gossip for the nth time, and stopped abruptly, as if she was being scratched by a cat. However, Jiang Xia didn’t say anything about this, and of course she couldn’t ask questions. In the end, she could only follow Jiang Xia to drink a sip of iced juice to suppress her curiosity.

   However, speaking of Yukiko Watanabe…

  Mao Lilan remembered that he had actually heard some related rumors.

  —Watanabe Yukiko is good-looking, and the typhoon is very enthusiastic. But she always stayed in various bands for a long time, and every time she changed to a new band, the time she stayed seemed to be shortened, and sometimes she didn’t even switch to a better band, but went to a less well-known one, such as a follower. All teams don’t get along.

   So there are always some rumors that she has a bad temper and only cares about herself in everything she does, without thinking about her teammates.

  Unexpectedly, Yukiko Watanabe is about to debut…

  Maolilan has no idea about this. After all, she didn’t contact the transitional friend Noriko, and she didn’t know whether the rumors were true or false.

   At this time, she looked at the energetic musicians on the stage, and there was only one thought in her mind – when the singing is over, maybe there is a chance to sneak over to ask for a few autographs? Although everyone in this band has not officially debuted, the autographs before they become famous are also very treasured.

  …

   Regardless of her personality, Yukiko Watanabe’s singing voice is indeed beautiful.

  Belmode had a mug of bubbly draft beer by his hand.

  While listening to the song, she raised her head and gulped for a few sips, then put the glass of golden wine with dense bubbles on the table, raised her sleeves boldly, wiped the corner of her mouth, and exhaled with relief.

   After drinking, she glanced to the side. The sight that found Uzo fell on her draft beer.

   Belmod smiled inwardly.

  …Uzo is not as scary as vodka makes it out to be, at least for now, he’s been getting along very well.

And it’s not difficult to make an appointment – this time, the successful case of Youzo makes Belmod feel that he has found a trick: show Uzzo the fun of the adult world, and then offer to take him to experience it in depth, Uzzo is likely to I would like to come out.

  Thinking of this, Belmod blinked at Jiang Xia, raised the half cup of draft beer in his hand seductively, and made a clinking gesture: “Would you like a cup?”

   “…That, Miss Takenaka.” Maurilan called Belmod’s current fake name, and politely refused for the neighbor who didn’t like to refuse, “We are still high school students, and we are not old enough to drink.”

   Jiang Xia hummed and agreed.

   Then he looked away from the wine glass and silently observed the rooftop restaurant.

   The draft beer in this shop looks really good.

   And on the side of the restaurant, there are also several semi-enclosed boxes. With the curtain down, it is difficult for others to see the people in the box.

  Jiang Xia: “…” If the rooftop restaurant is still operating normally after today, then he can come here when he has no acquaintances, order a table of draft beer in his adult vest, and transport it into the box. Then the curtain was closed, which cup to drink, who knows who drank it…

   A play plan is quickly formed. Jiang Xia took a sip from the juice cup at hand, and exhaled as comfortably as Belmod.

Opposite the    round table, Conan watched the two people drink beer/juice in a similar way, and turned his suspicious eyes to Belmod.

  ”…” I always felt that this woman was trying to bring Jiang Xia down, and they might have known each other for a while.

   But, I don’t know why, Conan found that he didn’t feel too dangerous aura from this “Miss Takenaka”, but seemed to be… a little kind?

   He was briefly lost.

   Then I felt that I couldn’t take it lightly.

  —Jiang Xia has such a magical physique that attracts scumbags. Even when he encounters Gin Jiu on the train, Gin Jiu has to look at him twice. Now, if it attracts people with ghosts, it is very normal.

And “Miss Takenaka” is really not a good citizen in terms of behavior – not only did she invite Jiang Xia to drink draft beer together in broad daylight, but she also tried to take a minor to the bar just now… even if it was because she also drank herself. , I feel that alcohol does little harm to people, so I issued this invitation, but the topic of “high school detectives hanging out in bars late at night” is not a good thing for Jiang Xia…

   Thinking of this, Conan sighed tiredly.

   I hope that the people Jiang Xia attracted this time are just a little deviant.

   In this way, as long as they are vigilant enough, at least Miss Takenaka will not cause any major problems.

  …

   Just eat and drink like this, listen to the singing, and by the way, have a couple of chats that don’t match your brain circuits.

  The atmosphere gradually calmed down.

  —After all, although there were two cadres of dark organizations sitting next to the wine table, they really had no hostility towards the two high school students across the table.

  Conan observed for a long time and found that Belmod didn’t seem to do anything other than drink happily. He gradually felt that maybe he was thinking too much.

   After withdrawing his attention on the “bad girl”, Conan lowered his head and found that the snacks he had just taken had been eaten unknowingly on his plate.

   He jumped out of his chair, picked up the tray, and went to the buffet table to get some more.

  Maolilan also followed.

   In the blink of an eye, the lively songs just now were sung.

  The atmosphere on the stage changed slightly, the tone of the music changed from intense to long and gentle.

   The drummer Yusuke Village stood up from the drum set, picked up a guitar, and took over the lead vocal position.

   As the leader of the band, Yusuke Nakamura, who knows everything well, plucked the strings of his guitar and smiled: “Next, I will present a classic song that everyone is familiar with—”

   Jiang Xia suddenly turned his head and glanced at the stage when he heard the change.
