Conan: Silence in the Dark
Chapter 139
"What about Sister Zhijiang?" asked Xiao Jing and Xiao Ai when they found Conan, and found that Zhi Jiang was not with them either.
"She should go for a walk with Elle at this point, how can she fish?
"No, I'll just look at it. Xiao Jing shook his hand.
"Bang!" Gunshots, or the impact of something, because the source of the sound was far away from here, Xiao Jing couldn't tell if she heard it, and Conan naturally didn't hear anything.
"Wait. "It can't be Sister Zhijiang, right?" Thinking about it, Xiao Jing immediately took out her mobile phone from her satchel and dialed Zhijiang's number.
"Hey, Xiao Jing?" Zhi Jiang's voice on the other end of the phone made Xiao Jing breathe a sigh of relief.
"Anyway, Sister Zhijiang hasn't taken us to visit your place of work yet, I'd love to take a look. Xiao Jing couldn't think of an excuse for a while, so she had to say this.
"Then I'll come back and take you there. "There's no doubt about this reason, after all, it's normal for me to be a writer and want to see where I work.
After about four o'clock, Kitagawa and the servants began to prepare the tools and ingredients for the barbecue together with the Junior Detective Group and Natsuki. It is worth mentioning that Miss Yoshiko, the assistant, also suddenly proposed to go to the publishing house at this time.
"I'll send you. "Kitagawa came over and said to Yoshiko.
"Then I'll take Jing and Natsuki to my studio to have a look. Zhijiang also said.
"I'm leaving, Nai Yue and Sister Zhijiang, don't steal food. Xiao Jing told the young detective group.
"No, it won't!" the junior detective group naturally knew that Xiao Jing was just joking, and responded with a smile.
"When I write, I like to be alone in a quiet environment. Zhijiang pointed to the hut road not far away.
"That's a good place, and there's been a lot of clearing around. Natsuki nodded.
"I know, I know, quiet places are better for concentration. Xiao Jing agreed.
"yes, I think so too, come in. Zhijiang opened the doorway.
"Sister Zhijiang's study is also here. Xiao Jing looked at the not very large space, there were four bookshelves, and the bookshelves were full of books, and there was no empty space at all.
"That's right, what does Xiao Jing think?"
"Superb. "
"That's great, that's where I work. Speaking of which, I'm going to have to catch up all night tonight. Zhijiang said on the chair in front of the desk.
"By the way, let's play!" said Zhijiang suddenly thought of something.
"Play?".
"Didn't we play together a lot before? Zhijiang took out a pen and paper and said.
"Well, let's play. Xiao Jing also misses it very much.
"Then I'll start with the singing of birds and flowers. Zhijiang immediately wrote down the idiom he said on a piece of paper and handed it to Xiao Jing.
"If you are incense, the fragrance will be lost. Xiao Jing finished writing and handed it to Na Yue.
"Lost soldiers. Natsuki quickly wrote one out and handed it to Zhijiang.
"Will it be?" at this time........, Zhijiang stood up and looked out the window in order to think, but then his gaze stopped outside the window.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Jing and Natsuki, who looked out the window, also looked out the window.
Because it is a cottage on the mountain, you can see the path below directly through the window, and a car is parked on the path, and Miss Yoshiko and Mr. Kitagawa are walking to the car together. However, after getting close to the car, it was not the door that was opened, but Mr. Kitagawa hugged Miss Yoshiko, and the two kissed passionately.
"Those two didn't just start today. It's up to you to atonement to the guilt. As he spoke, he handed it to Natsuki.
"I really didn't expect that the seemingly perfect marriage would be like this, and when they got married, Mr. Zhijiang was already under pressure. After coming back, Natsuki said to Xiao Jing.
After all, Mr. Kitagawa is seventeen years older than Sister Zhijiang, and he is the boss of a large company, and it is normal for him to be hyped by the media. "Xiao Jing is not as touched as Natsuki.
"It's true that we can't help with anything like that. Natsuki sighed and said.
"It's useless to think about this, let's eat first. "
"Hmm. "
"Then let's play Rich!" Mr. Kitagawa said to the children after the barbecue party.
"Yes!" replied the children, who seemed to be having a great time.
"Let's drink some hot at night! Xiao Jing is very unlucky. "Zhijiang brought everyone a hot tea ceremony.
"Uncle Kitagawa is so good at playing this. Yuan Tai said.
"Really, I made a lot of money just pouring tea. Zhijiang looked at Beichuan's chips and said.
"Xiao Jing is not at all. "The first asset to go to zero is Xiao Jing, so Xiao Jing was reading a book on the side early.
"You're no better. Conan laughed.
"Xiao Ai and Sister Nai Yue must defeat Uncle Beichuan. "Ayumido, who has quit the game like Xiao Jing.
"That's right, that's right, you want to avenge us!" said Guangliao and Yuantai, who had also lost everything.
"Revenge or something..."Conan twitched as he looked at the children, who were still focused on the game.
"Elle. Conan wasn't as enthusiastic as Ayumi after losing the game, so he planned to tease the dog.
"Elle!" At this time, it may have been seen that Elle entered the living room, and Zhijiang, as the owner, called, and Elle immediately put down what was on her mouth and ran over.
"What is this?" Conan, who had noticed, walked over and looked.
"It's my scarf, I guess it fell on the ground and was picked up by Elle. Zhijiang came over and put away the scarf on the ground.
"Oh. Conan didn't think about it either.
"That's almost over, isn't it? Don't look at me, I still have a habit of running in the morning. After playing for a while, Mr. Kitagawa looked at his watch and said.
"Okay, I'm sleepy too. Natsuki agreed.
"Looks like everyone had a great time today. Zhijiang smiled and looked at the young detective group who was already asleep on the sofa.
"Then I'll take the kids to sleep. The servant on the side said.
"Well, that's bothering you, ahaha. Mr. Kitagawa yawned as he spoke.
"Then I'll go and finish my work and sleep in the studio. Unlike the others who went to the room to rest, Zhijiang put on his coat and wrapped his scarf and prepared to go out.
"It's really hard to be a popular writer. Natsuki also rested after speaking.
Xiao Jing, who could have fallen asleep by lying down, was in a state of excitement.
What's going on? She looked at the other people who were completely asleep in the other beds, and wondered.
"Conan also slept so dead?" Xiao Jing looked at Conan, who was pressed by Yuan Tai's hand and Guang Liao's hand together.
Something's wrong, it's not been long since I fell asleep, and it stands to reason that I won't sleep so deeply. My body also had a reaction, which was sleeping pills. So who ordered it? and why?
Xiao Jing thought that she had already opened the door, and found that it was already dark all around, and Xiao Jing did not turn on the switch of the electric light.
"There was no movement. "Even the servants were already asleep, and they didn't notice anything unusual when they concentrated on entering the state of facing the enemy.
It's weird. Because there is no abnormality, Xiao Jing feels even more strange, someone gave them sleeping pills but there is no movement, this kind of thing doesn't make sense at all, is it too to let them sleep well.
Wait, there's someone who isn't in the room! Although Xiao Jing's five senses have extended beyond imagination at this time, the breath in the room can't be felt in the living room.
I hope I didn't guess correctly, Xiao Jing didn't change out of her pajamas, changed her shoes directly in the hallway, and ran to the place where Teacher Zhijiang worked, not far from here.
"Teacher Zhijiang!" Xiao Jing immediately opened the door and saw Zhi Jiang in front of the workbench, turning his head to look at Xiao Jing.
This expression. Zhijiang's expression was obviously extremely sad, even if it was not Xiao Jing's expression after concealment, it could be seen at a glance.
There was no one else at least to make Xiao Jing breathe a sigh of relief, and when she came over, she even thought about Mr. Kitagawa killing Chie in order to be with Miss Yoshiko.
"Xiaojing, why did you come here, don't you rest?" said Zhijiang, putting the scarf in his right hand between his knees.
"Ai'er is also accompanying Sister Zhijiang. Xiao Jing also noticed Zhijiang's movements.
"Xiao Jing is really sorry, if you don't have anything important, can you please go back to sleep? Zhijiang said again.
Invite me to come here so that Natsuki and I can see Mr. Kitagawa's cheating, El, a scarf, and a scarf on the hanger. Xiao Jing, whose head has entered a state of acceleration, wants to reason about something, but he really doesn't have Conan's reasoning ability, so he can only keep recalling his own events today and not letting go of any details.
"I'll send you back!" said Zhijiang, who put his scarf on the workbench and walked over.
Voice: The scarf didn't sound right, what was it? Could it be metal? Wrapped in a scarf, he didn't plan to take the scarf with him when he was going to send me away, and he couldn't see it inside. A series of clues were connected at this time.
"I'm not going back. Please keep working. Xiao Jing directly found a place and randomly picked up a book on the nearest bookshelf.
"What are you doing here?"
"I don't want to lose a friend, and you're my teacher. Xiao Jing opened the book.
"What?".
"Pistols are very dangerous things, and if they are used for the first time, they can cause misuse. Can you please bring down the bullets inside?" replied Xiao Jing without turning her head.
"Xiaojing, you know?".
"After all, my father is a detective and my mother is a lawyer. At first, I thought it was your husband who was going to kill you, but now I understand. You're trying to kill yourself. Xiao Jing's voice was still so cold, but Zhijiang looked at Xiao Jing in surprise.
"But the result is the same, the police will definitely make Mr. Kitagawa a suspect after your death. If he finds something with a gunsmoke reaction in his belongings, such as a towel from running, he will most likely be arrested as a prisoner. "
"Gunsmoke reaction?".
"That's what you're wrapping your pistol in a scarf. If you commit suicide and there is no gunsmoke reaction, the police will still think it was homicide. "
"But isn't the scarf here?" said Zhijiang as he leaned over to reveal the blocked scarf.
"That's why Elle is here, you also have a scarf on the hanger, so the police naturally don't think that your scarf is gone. And the trick to make this scarf disappear is. "
"Elle. With that, Xiao Jing walked over and threw the scarf on the ground, and Elle picked up the scarf and ran out the door.
"It's really all seen through by Xiao Jing-chan. Do you want a drink too?" Zhi Jiang said in a clear lost tone as he took out red wine and a glass from the cabinet on the side.
"Of course. "She's still very interested in wine.
"My husband told me three months after he got married, that the marriage was just a spur of the moment. At that time, I was still fantasizing that maybe he would change his mind, but I was wrong, and he began to have a relationship with Miss Yoshiko, and in the end, he didn't deliberately hide it even in front of me. "
"It's true that Mr. Kitagawa is as close to Miss Yoshiko as if he were family even in front of us. Xiao Jing thought it was a simple old friendship at first.
"At this point, I can't take it anymore. "
"Then it's good to get a divorce, you don't need to be patient in the first place. Xiao Jing's gaze returned to the book.
"You know, what the media said when I got married. Now if I get divorced again, I can't imagine what kind of bad words I will receive. "
Indeed, when she got married, there were media who said that she was a sparrow climbing the golden branch, and there is no news that attracts more attention than a well-known writer.
"Even readers have sent letters of condemnation, if this time they divorce again. Zhijiang hid his face and said in tears.
"Readers who originally believed that the teacher got married because of love will also think that the teacher is in it for money. Xiao Jing said what she thought.
"It's amazing. Like an author abandoned by the media and readers. Xiao Jing walked up to Zhijiang with the book in her hand and said.
"I'm not going to say anything irresponsible about starting over, and I can't say anything that will convince you. After all, when it comes to writing, you're above me. But I'm also so envious. Xiao Jing brushed away Zhijiang's hand to hide her face, wiped her tears with her thumb, and stared directly.
"I envy your writing, I envy the words you write, I envy you being liked by readers, I envy your efforts to write. Your works must have experienced countless silent nights. Xiao Jing took a look at Zhijiang's works.
"But if you talk about readers, you're underestimating readers. It is true that many people like to be influenced by outsiders, and the book says that if a person is successful, then as long as he finds out his shortcomings from his character, popularity, personality and even past mistakes, then his success will become much smaller. I've seen it, because I read a false report and scolded my favorite idol completely, people will find a sense of superiority in people, even if they are insignificant people, otherwise they will lose the meaning of life. However, real readers understand the author through the text, and they can understand whether the author meets their preferences from the text, and feel the feeling that the author wants to convey from the text, which is also the charm of the text. Xiao Jing put the book in her hand on Zhijiang's hand.
"You know what. When Natsuki was writing a book, she received a letter from a reader, and she smiled and said that someone knew what she thought, and then she wrote all night until about nine o'clock. I understood then that I wasn't fit to write. Although I can think of a lot of fanciful things that I can't put into words, I don't feel anything when I read the letter. Ah, I understood then. Words are communication that abandons identity, status, money, and even time and space, and I may not have that kind of talent. "
"Sister Natsuki naturally said for the sake of not worrying about money: Even if only one reader likes what I write in the end, I will continue to write such naïve words. But the joy and contentment in her heart was real. "
"The teacher must have such readers, which is enviable. Perhaps, for your own sake, you should start over and think back to your own original intention. "
"There is no such thing as a work that everyone likes, and there is no one who everyone likes. Xiao Jing finally said.
"Xiao Jing.... sauce?".
"Well, that's all I can say. You can't ask a primary school student to have too many vocabulary anymore. Xiao Jing shrugged.
"Really, the good atmosphere is gone. But I think what Xiao Jing said makes sense, maybe it's time to start over, find a new meaning, a new life. Zhijiang wiped his tears and smiled.
"Then let's write an article about Sister Zhijiang. Xiao Jing also picked up a writing paper from the table.
"You're going too far!"
"Don't worry, I've written it all at the beginning. Xiao Jing, who had written a lot of words, handed over the paper.
"Do you want to relay writing? I really can't help it, so I'll play with you!" Zhijiang said.
"Xiao Jing?" asked Zhijiang as he wrote.
"Something. "
"Xiaojing, what is your own meaning?".
"I've thought about it too, maybe it's me. Maybe I'm the only one left, myself, as the last reader, so I'm going to keep it down. "
"My sister is willing to be Xiaojing's reader. "
"Thank you, if you can support me when I can't make any money, I'll be fine. Xiao Jing tilted her head and thought about it very seriously.
"It's on me, my sister is also a rich woman after the divorce! Your mother is a lawyer, right?" Zhijiang asked with a smile.
"It's a lawyer, yes, but your smile is a little scary, sister. Xiao Jing looked away and said a little fearfully.
"How can it be? I'm just getting my own benefits through legal means, isn't it?" said Zhijiang's smile even brighter.
"Hey, hey, it's good to figure it out anyway. Xiao Jing also said helplessly.
