On the hot beach, as Dr. Agasa spoke, the faces of the four people who had been in a warm and peaceful atmosphere before suddenly became extremely ugly.
Those unintentional words, when heard by those with ulterior motives, were like sharp knives stabbing into the heart, causing waves of pain.
"Isn't it about time we go back?" Mitsue Yashima said as she picked up things on the carpet, subconsciously wanting to escape.
But she herself didn't realize that her voice had quietly become sharp, full of guilt.
"Yes...yes..." Mitsuse Takashi came to his senses after hearing what Yashima Mitsue said, and quickly agreed: "We also dug up a lot of clams."
"Next, let's go to my husband's house to process these clams and make a clam feast..." Hisatsu Koko said with a trembling voice.
"That's all right then. We'll take care of this. Could you please take those clams to the car and spit out the sand?"
Misase Takashi looked at the stunned Ushigome Tsuyoshi and started to discuss things. Seeing that he didn't respond, he couldn't help but shout, "Hey... Tsuyoshi..."
"By the way, I found a shellfish restaurant last time. Why don't we go there together?" Seeing that Ushigome Tsuyoshi didn't respond, Kuzu Kozue immediately changed the subject.
"Okay, okay..." Mitsue Yashima responded, "Let's go to that restaurant for dinner first, and then stay at his heir's house for one night.
I'd like to use the clams I dug today to make miso soup tomorrow morning after I've spit out the sand. What do you think, Sifu?"
"That's it..."
The silent Sifu heard his companion's plan and was about to respond, but he was suddenly interrupted.
"I'm sorry to bother you again."
Tang Ze's sudden appearance startled everyone, and they immediately fell silent. Yashima Mitsue looked at Tang Ze uncomfortably and said, "Do you have anything else to say? We're leaving."
"Before I leave, I would like to ask you a question."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "Do you have any clues about the hit-and-run case that happened a few days ago?"
“!!!”
Tang Ze's words made the four people's faces change drastically, and their expressions became gloomy and ugly.
"Who...who are you? What's the point of asking such a question all of a sudden?"
Mitose Takashi looked at Tang Ze with a somewhat fierce look on his face: "Are you here to cause trouble?!"
"No, I just noticed that when you heard my companion say, 'There's a hit-and-run case nearby,' your faces suddenly changed and the atmosphere became tense. I wonder if you know the truth."
Tang Ze laughed and said, "After all, I am also a criminal. When I see this kind of situation, I always have to come up and investigate.
Well...just treat it as an occupational disease."
Looking at Tang Ze Hexi's smile, the four of them looked as if they had seen a ghost. It was a hot summer day, but the sun in the sky could not bring them a bit of warmth.
They only felt a chill in their hearts, and even the handsome man in front of them seemed to have turned into a terrifying devil.
"What...what are you talking about?" Kuzu Kozue was the first to react among the four people. "We have nothing to do with the hit-and-run...
As for the fact that we didn’t practice well just now, it was because we had an argument…”
"That's right!" Misase Takashi retorted loudly, "You just happened to see us arguing. We have nothing to do with the hit-and-run case!"
"That's it!"
Yashima Mitsue also reacted and quickly stood up to pack her things, hoping to get the other three to leave together: "We just couldn't wait to eat Katori's clams and had an argument..."
"Really? It wasn't a hit-and-run. Did I misunderstand?"
Tang Ze looked at the four people who nodded in agreement but still couldn't hide their panic, and said, "But I'm sorry, I still can't let you go."
Before the four could react, Tang Ze said something shocking and heartbreaking: "After all, this conflict has become so serious that it is murderous. I really can't let you go."
"kill!?"
This sentence was like cold water poured into a frying pan, instantly making everyone present feel like they were struck by lightning. Their brains had crashed and they could only stare blankly at the man in front of them with a look of confusion.
What murder?
Do you mean hit-and-run?
No, he was clearly following what we said.
So the conflict between us is so serious that it leads to murder?
But isn’t that so-called “contradiction” something we made up?
Questions appeared in everyone's mind, and soon turned into more questions that occupied their minds, making them unable to think.
It wasn't just the four of them whose brains froze after hearing Tang Ze's words, but also Conan and others who were walking behind them.
In fact, as early as when Dr. Agasa reminded the three children to be careful about their safety, Conan also noticed the sudden change in the solemn atmosphere among the four people after they heard about the "hit-and-run case."
So he was a little concerned about this matter and planned to find an opportunity to investigate it later to see if he could solve the case.
But what he didn't expect was that Tang Ze's mobility was indeed much higher than his. Just when he was stunned, the opponent had already stepped forward and hit him directly with a "straight ball".
Conan quickly understood Tang Ze's intention.
Although this seems like a reckless way of questioning, in Conan's opinion it is not a deliberate attempt to "stir up trouble".
After all, judging from the performance of the four people after listening to Dr. Agasa's words, their mental qualities are not that strong.
