Chapter 1347: Christmas Encounter

Tuesday, December 2, morning.

A special program on the war in Iraq broadcasted news about an attack. A convoy carrying relief supplies was attacked. The three attackers used landmines, anti-tank rockets, grenades, automatic rifles, and submachine guns. Only the captain leaned on the The explosion-proof Humvee produced by the Huoxiu company survived by chance, and all the other 18 people were killed.

Based on the weapons used by the attackers, it is speculated that their identities were agents of the former president. ...

Saturday, December 13.

News was broadcast on television about the successful capture of the former president of Iraq by US special forces. ...

Sunday, December 14.

News about a shooting in Iruma City, Saitama Prefecture was broadcast on TV.

Someone just broke into the office of a violent gang, shot and killed five people in a row, and then fled calmly.

According to witnesses, it took less than a minute for the gunman to enter and exit. At that time, no sound was heard, but he was seen holding a pistol with a silencer when he came out.

The police have launched an investigation, and there are rumors that the leader of a hostile violent gang did it. ...

Monday, December 15.

The international edition of the Morning Post carried news about Sharon Wynyard, a big American star and philanthropist.

Mrs. Sharon will hold a charity auction for Iraq in New York at Christmas, which will be divided into two halves.

The items for the first half were provided by folks who contributed to the peace of Iraq during the Iraq war, and the money raised will be handed over to them to support them.

The items for the second half will be provided by the Iraqi officials, and the money raised will be handed over to the Iraqi officials for humanitarian relief work in Iraq.

At that time, the Iraqi officials will also discuss the reconstruction of Iraq with the participants. ...

In the afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

Conan looked at the news in the morning paper, completely clueless, and only had a wry smile in his heart. How do we investigate people like Sharon Wynyard?

It is said that she is a member of a certain organization and has killed countless people. I am afraid that she will be drowned by the saliva of her fans.

Forget it, take your time, and ask when mom comes back. Mom should go to the charity meeting with dad to join in the fun.

But now, the only thing I can do is to stare at Miyano's house. ...

Friday, December 19.

The international edition of the Evening News carried news that Libia had said it would renounce the production of weapons of mass destruction. ...

On December 20th, Saturday, afternoon, a drink shop near Miyano's home.

Zhu Di met with Akai Shuichi to discuss what they had recently overheard from Miyano's house, and pieced together a conclusion that Xia Horiyu will do an important thing after the New Year, and the final destination is exactly the person they followed before. The Shinagawa port area that I have been to.

"It seems that Isamu Xiahori who lives in Miyano's house is indeed a member of that organization, at least he was instructed by someone, and that organization will hold an important transaction in the Shinagawa Futo area." Zhu Di said, "Although now I still don’t know the content of their transaction and the exact time, but I believe that as long as we continue to follow this line, we will know, and then we will be able to get dirty together.”

"I hope so." Akai Hideichi took a sip of his coffee and looked around, feeling like he was being spied on just now, who could it be?

Could it be that we are watching them and they are watching us?

Ha, interesting. ...

Another table.

Conan carefully curled up under the table. He noticed that Teacher Zhu Di had appeared before, and followed him out of curiosity, but unexpectedly discovered something extraordinary.

Lan said that this person named Shuichi Akai, who she had met in the United States, was also an investigator of the Intelligence Bureau, that is to say, Teacher Judy may also be an investigator of the Intelligence Bureau.

This is no wonder, I always feel that Teacher Zhu Di has no malicious intentions.

It's just that I really didn't expect that, in fact, Teacher Judy speaks Japanese well, I'm afraid it's just a cover-up, so I pretended it, and Hattori guessed it right.

But I'm not lucky, I don't know what it is, and I don't know when it will be. Forget it, after the New Year, something is better than nothing. ...

Wednesday, December 25th, Tedan High School.

Although today is Christmas, the school is in class as usual, and after school, Sonoko, Lan, Mei Daizi, and Yamazaki saw Teacher Judy.

Yuanzi suggested: "Teacher, why don't we spend Christmas together."

"Oh, no problem." Teacher Judy smiled.

"Then where are we going?" Mei Daizi said, "Yuanzi, you have mentioned so many places, so hurry up and decide on one."

"No, no, let's go to the teacher's apartment." Sonoko smiled.

"My apartment?" Teacher Judy confirmed.

Lan clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's right, we haven't been there before, so we just went to have a look."

Teacher Judy said: "But, I don't have anything to entertain you there."

"It's okay, let's just go and buy some." Sonoko smiled, "It happens that me, teacher, and Mei Daizi can play cards, and Lan and Yamazaki can cook."

"Okay." Yamazaki nodded and said, "Anyway, I've already called, and I don't have anything to eat when I go back."

"Unfortunately, one of the three is missing," Yuanzi sighed, "The guy who buried his head in the incident but left his wife here is not here."

Lan's face became hot, "Old, wife!"

"Three missing one?" Teacher Judy smiled, "Then we can get Coolboy to play."

"Teacher, Sonoko means to play mahjong." Yamazaki said with a smile.

Mei Daizi smiled and said, "The person Sonoko said was Kudou, not that kid Conan."

Lan said: "And Conan is going to have a party with his friends at Dr. Ali's house today, so he can't come."

"Is that Kudo-san?" Teacher Judy teased Lan, "Are you all married?"

Lan Lian had a fever again, and his mouth stuttered, "No, no."

"Lan really wants to," Mei Daizi said with a smile, "I was planning to catch the bouquet at the wedding last time."

Yuanzi imitated Lan's tone, "How long will it take to solve a case? Let's just give up and come back."

Lan felt a little dejected, "That's impossible, he's not the kind of person who would give up halfway, and he's the most persevering."

Seeing this, Yuanzi hurriedly made amends, and continued to enliven the atmosphere with Lan's accent, "I just like this place, I like it so much."

"No way." Lan said angrily, "I just said that he is a stubborn person who will persevere to the end, and even if he doesn't come back, I will, I will..."

"What?" Mei Daizi joked, "with other people."

Yuanzi teased, "Nalan, are you planning to move on?"

"Hateful." Lan complained.

"That," Yamazaki said with a helpless smile, "can we buy the things first, and then you can talk slowly."

"Yes, go shopping first." Teacher Judy smiled, "Come with me, I know there is a large convenience store nearby."...

Soon after, Iwata Convenience Store.

The store is indeed not small, not only daily groceries, but also fresh food, as well as cooked snacks such as big meat buns and egg tarts.

Teacher Judy smiled at the four of Lan and said, "Just buy it, I'm a member here, and there are many discounts."

"Okay then," Yamazaki looked at the many fresh foods and said to Lan, "Let's order tonight's menu first. Western cuisine is fine. We can't do well, so we can choose Japanese cuisine."

Teacher Judy smiled and said, "I like this."

Lan said: "Family dishes are generally steamed, stewed, fried, and marinated."

Yamazaki said: "The main course is beef sashimi. I will buy meat separately. There must be no good beef in this kind of place, but I need to buy Mei Daizi's steak ingredients."

Lan said: "Yuanzi, Mei Daizi, please help me remember."

"Understood." Yuanzi and Mei Daizi laughed.

"Broccoli, carrots, potatoes, lentils, celery, cucumbers...take some of these vegetables," Yamazaki said, "and black pepper."

Lan said, "Well, let's mix a green salad with apples, cherries, and mayonnaise."

"For stewing, use frozen tofu dashi." Yamazaki said, "The fish should be salmon."

Lan said: "If it's steamed, steam the mixed eggs and put all the rest in it, so it won't be wasted."

"If you fry it, the squid must be ready, and it can be a snack when you chat." Yamazaki said with a smile.

"Five of us, five dishes, should be enough." Lan said.

"Oh, that's great." Teacher Judy smiled, "Then let's start shopping, I really want to eat the delicious food you cooked soon."

Next, the five of them swept through the convenience store and bought a bunch of things.

The five people walked to the entrance and exit of the staff, cleared things in this place with few people, and after confirming that they were all bought, when they were about to pay the bill, a man's voice of admonition came from nearby.

The five people followed the reputation and found that in the staff area, a middle-aged man in the uniform of the store manager was talking to a girl in the uniform of a waiter. It sounded like the store manager was talking about the clerk who made a mistake.

"Yeah?" Yuanzi was taken aback, "That's..."

"It's Xiaoxuan." Lan said in an interface.

"Qi Chuan Xuan." Mei Daizi confirmed.

The girl was stunned, and turned her head to look, "Lan, Yuanzi." As she spoke, she ran to embrace Lan and Yuanzi with tears in her eyes.

"Hey, hey," Mei Daizi said dissatisfied, "Xiao Xuan, it's fine if you don't remember my brother, why don't you even remember me."

"Mei, Mei Daizi." Qi Chuanxuan said timidly.

"What are you doing, I didn't bully you." Mei Daizi said angrily, "It's the store manager who bullied you."

"Hey, little girl, don't talk nonsense." The store manager said quickly, "It was Qi Chuan who stole things from our store, so I'm talking about her."

"I don't." Qi Chuanxuan cried aggrievedly, "Lan, I really don't."

"Cough," said Teacher Judy, "Hi, I'm a high school English teacher, what you just said..."

"The sales in the store do not match the number of goods in stock, and they are only closed on the days when Qichuan is on duty," the store manager asked, "Who is it if it's not her?"

Yuanzi asked angrily: "Couldn't it be the guest who just took the sheep by hand?"

"I thought about it too, so I installed four anti-theft cameras in the store, and then I just stared at them intently. There were no such customers at all," said the store manager.

"Ha," Mei Daizi laughed, "What's the use of those four anti-theft cameras, go, brother, let's try to show him."...
