Where Did He Go?

Jiang Xia quickly stopped what he was doing.

But it was obviously already too late.

The moment he casually turned his head, he saw that Conan's expression beside him had indeed become extremely complicated.

From Conan's perspective, this instinctive reaction from his childhood friend proved at least one thing—Amuro Tooru really was the kind of scumbag who casually planted Listening Devices, even on his own employees. Only that could explain why, the moment the topic of "Listening Devices" came up, Jiang Xia's first reaction had been to search himself instead of saying, "Haha, how could that be? My boss isn't that kind of person."

At least this time, Jiang Xia seemed to have noticed that something was off about Amuro Tooru... It looked like he wasn't completely incapable of recognizing scumbags. He had just realized it a little too late.

That couldn't be helped. Scumbags would naturally put great effort into approaching geniuses first. Their motives might be impure, but their enthusiastic affection was clearly genuine, because Jiang Xia would be useful to them.

Then, when necessary, the scumbags would reveal their sinister true faces and use Jiang Xia to achieve certain unspeakable goals... By then, if Jiang Xia wanted to do what he should have done in the first place—bring the scumbag to justice—it would become as difficult as punishing his own family for the sake of righteousness.

Conan hesitated for a moment. He truly couldn't pretend he knew nothing.
