Chapter 22: Strawberry Mapo Tofu

After the producer finished ordering, he began to enliven the somewhat rigid atmosphere on the table again:

"Xiaolan, do you have any favorite celebrities?"

Maorilan eats people and has a soft mouth.

Although it was very shameful to scold Bai Jingxing and lick it shamelessly after the producer, he still replied in a proper manner:

"I like Yukiko Tengfeng, and Sharon Wynyard."

Teng Feng Yukiko is Kudo Shinichi's own mother, and it seems that she has a good relationship with the original owner.

Sharon Wynyard is Belmode in the original book, and the original owner is more familiar with her other identity, Lisi Wynyard, and has helped her hype.

I have to say that Maolilan's connections in this area are really good.

The producer looked very agreeable:

"Oh, they're all very well-known actresses!

"Our drama is a sequel, and there are a lot of viewers looking forward to the release of the movie.

"If you're willing to act, you might be as famous as they are.

"I think Mr. Bai Jingxing should be very clear about this."

Bai Jingxing didn't buy his account at all:

"With Xiaolan's comprehensive conditions, if you are interested in the entertainment industry, you can also try it.

"However, make a sequel movie.

"For this kind of work that has formed an IP, investors generally make large-scale changes to the plot for reasons such as unspoken rules and making money.

"After the movie is released, the audience's expectations are as high as the scolding is.

"With a gentle and kind character like Xiaolan, I'm afraid I can't bear so much scolding."

The screenwriter may have a grudge against the director, or he may simply hate his manuscript that has been changed N times, and when he heard Bai Jingxing's words, he agreed very much:

"That's right, if you want to shoot, you have to think about it.

"We have a producer who adds a lot of intimate scenes for the box office, regardless of the plot."

The producer was attacked from both sides, and he was a little embarrassed for a while:

"Oh, don't you say that......"

The producer was in a hurry to refute, but he didn't pay attention for a moment and knocked over the soup on the table.

The soup ran down the table and dripped on his thigh.

The producer hurriedly took a towel to absorb the soup, and by the way comforted Mao Lilan, the only one who cared about him:

"It's okay, I'll just wipe it.

"Actually, I deleted the plot within a reasonable range after strict market research, which is also for the movie to achieve better results.

"The vegetables are coming, eat the vegetables and eat the vegetables."

The producer glanced at the egg that turned to him again at some point, naturally turned it away, and said courteously:

"Mr. Bai, come and try his braised pork, the taste is very authentic.

"And this mapo tofu, it's not bad."

Bai Jingxing looked at the normal-looking braised pork in front of him, and the mapo tofu with strawberries that didn't look normal.

After hesitating for a moment, I chose mapo tofu.

The main reason is that he is really curious about whether mapo tofu with strawberries is good or not.

According to the peers who do marketing accounts, some stores are doing quite well.

He plucked up his courage and added a piece of tofu that looked normal.

I tasted it and found that it was okay, spicy and spicy, and it went well with rice, and there was no strange taste.

Bai Jingxing took another piece of strawberry, and before he could start eating, the dish slipped away from him.

The thief ran fast, as if he was afraid that Bai Jingxing would regret it.

In its place, there was the familiar plate of scrambled eggs.

Bai Jingxing: ......

Although he knew that this was the murderer's method of killing, his confidence in tasting this miraculous dish was inevitably shocked.

If you look closely at the strawberries in the bowl, they look very soft and rotten, and with a little force, the soup can still flow.

Conan was obediently eating braised shrimp with tomato sauce, and looked at Bai Jingxing with strange eyes:

"Uncle, won't you eat?"

Bai Jingxing hesitated, closed his eyes, and stuffed the strawberry in his mouth.

The strawberry has just entered the mouth, Bai Jingxing: !!!

He bet the strawberries in this dish were similar to those in canned sugar water!

Has anyone ever tried adding salt and chili peppers to canned sugar water?

Bai Jingxing feels like this at this time!

The whole tastes like moldy canned strawberries.

Bai Jingxing almost didn't spit it out, holding the most basic etiquette, he swallowed it in one gulp, poured himself a glass of boiled water and rinsed his mouth.

This thing...... It's scary!

Combined with the price of fruits here in Japan, the price of this dish is not heavenly, and it really makes sense!

The producer turned back the strawberry mapo tofu and added one himself, but he didn't seem to find anything wrong with the taste.

But he, who is good at observing words and feelings, noticed Bai Jingxing's dislike of this dish, so he didn't stop it from being turned away.

Seeing the waiter coming over with the roast duck, he naturally turned the scrambled eggs away to make room for the roast duck:

"Oh, the good dish is finally here.

"The BJ roast duck in this store is the best, let's try it together."

Bai Jingxing wiped his mouth and answered, but he didn't move and began to taste the wine decently.

The tall and thin man before, who was also the assistant director of this crew, snorted coldly:

"Mr. Kawabata is so enthusiastic, do you want to ask him about the stocks?

"If you want me to see, it's impossible for a guy like him to reveal the method of making money to others."

Bai Jingxing was not angry, shrugged casually, and sandwiched a piece of scrambled eggs for himself.

The murderer's target is the deceased, and it is impossible to poison something that the deceased hates, so he eats with confidence.

Of course, the most important thing is that Conan has just clipped a chopstick.

"Of course, I can't disclose the specific operation method to others at will, otherwise it will be very unfair to my customers?

"I do have a little bit of the inside information, though......"

Before Bai Jingxing finished speaking, the producer next to him suddenly screamed, clutched his throat and fell straight down.

Conan was startled and hurriedly ran over and began to check the situation.

Bai Jingxing's face was just the right amount of surprise, watching the producer slowly appear with a white mist.

Eventually, the mist all shrunk together and turned into a gray soul fragment.

【Soul Fragment (Greed)】

Accompanied by the system's prompt, Conan's heavy voice came:

"Call the police, he's dead."

Bai Jingxing stepped forward, naturally picked up the soul fragment, and took Conan away:

"Mr. Maori, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you to contact the police."

Because the food court is not far from the tower where Yoko Okino is located, Officer Twilight arrives quickly.

Looking at the familiar guys in front of him, he couldn't help but lose his eyes:

"Why are you again?"

Maori Kogoro scratches his head:

"Maybe there's a case calling me as a detective!"

Mori Kogoro, who is not yet famous, is still very low-key when introducing himself.

Officer Twilight actually wanted to ask Bai Jingxing.

Since Bai Jingxing came to Japan, it seems that he is at every murder scene.

But because Bai Jingxing seemed to be very awesome, Officer Twilight swallowed this unscientific and groundless suspicion.

"What did the deceased eat before he died?"

Maolilan, who was sitting next to the deceased, hurriedly came out to testify:

"Mr. Kawabata just ate the roast duck and then fell to the ground."

Officer Twilight snorted:

"Takagi, check the toxin reaction."

The younger brother Wataru Takagi received the order and immediately began to follow the process to conduct a detailed inspection of the dishes on this table.

Conan also dragged his chin and began to think.

The deceased had apparently been poisoned, and the murderer was supposed to be in the midst of their group of people eating.

Thinking of this, Conan suddenly discovered a key reason.

Bai Jingxing's psychology is so powerful, can't he see that something is wrong with the murderer?

Could it be that Bai Jingxing actually saw it, but it was only because of the deceased's previous disrespectful remarks, so he didn't stop it?!

That......

Conan looked at Bai Jingxing's gentle and polite back, thoughtfully guiding Xiaolan to sit down at the next table, and a cold light flashed through his flat glasses.
