Chapter 48 Exploration "And then?" Hagi...
"Then what?"
Hagiwara Kenji spread his hands under five pairs of expectant gazes, "That's all."
Conan pulled the map off the table and turned around. "Let's go around and ask if anyone saw Mr. Mihashi which way No. 10 went."
Sato Miwako pulled Takagi Wataru over and said, "Then I'll be in a group with Takagi."
"Okay Officer Sato!"
Morinaga Yuya thought about it and turned to look at Conan, "Conan, shall we go together?"
Conan jumped off the chair and ran out holding Morinaga Yuya's hand.
"Then let's go, Yuya-nii."
When Hagiwara Kenji turned around, only Matsuda Jinpei was left standing there, and the other party even seemed to be preparing to lift his leg to walk out.
The next second he rushed forward without hesitation, "Zhenping-chan, don't abandon me!"
Matsuda Jinpei showed his disdain, but still let Hagiwara Kenji walk out while still hanging on him.
"Hagi, don't be so clingy."
"Jin Ping-chan~Jin Ping-chan~"
Conan and Morinaga Yu have also started to act, asking the surrounding shop assistants about the general situation.
"Towards the suburbs?"
Conan was holding one hand of Morinaga Yuya, and with the other hand he was searching on his mobile phone what was in the suburbs of Sendai.
Yuya Morinaga is sharing information with Kenji Hagiwara and Miwako Sato.
"Brother Yan'er said someone saw Mr. Sanqiao coming back in the early morning of the 12th. He was covered in dust and looked crazy."
"Judging from the marks on the body, it was probably too dark that day so I couldn't see clearly that it was blood."
"Officer Sato got the license plate number and is now looking for the driver."
Conan finally locked onto several suspicious places, "a villa rumored to be haunted, an old orphanage that was gradually losing people as new areas were built, and an abandoned factory."
Morinaga Yuu also thought about it. "Let's go to the orphanage first. After all, Mr. Mihashi's subsequent events were caused by his brother's disappearance. The probability of this place being the cause is higher than the others."
"Okay, then I'll notify Officer Hagiwara and Officer Sato. If it's convenient, it would be faster if we investigate all three locations together."
"There's no need to notify."
Hagiwara Kenji suddenly appeared around the corner. "No matter how ruthless Jinpei and I are, we wouldn't let you two go somewhere alone."
Kenji Hagiwara could fully imagine the 80% chance that Morinaga Yuya and Conan would directly run into the murderer. Maybe at that time it would turn into an exciting chase between the two of them inside, while the four adults would be outside frowning and thinking about how to save people.
Morinaga Yuya exchanged glances with Conan, neither of them had any objections, nor did they dare to raise them.
Morinaga Yuuya was puzzled if the four of them went to the same place.
"Then don't we need to notify Officer Sato and the others?"
Hagiwara Kenji smiled and put his arm around one of them. "Maybe we can save the whole army from being wiped out."
Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru, who were questioning the driver, had no idea that the four men had left them to go on the adventure.
Considering that the new area was still some distance away from the old site of the orphanage, and that there were children there, they unanimously decided to park the car in a secluded place at a distance, and plan to ask if anyone had seen Mr. Mihashi after they finished exploring.
I don’t know when the sky turned gloomy. The dilapidated buildings and the gloomy woods around made people feel cold just standing at the door.
"It's normal to move away. This kind of environment is not conducive to the growth of those children."
When the others got off the car, Conan had already run to the gate to observe the traces. The dust on the door lock was not as thick as other places, and it was obvious that someone had touched it not long ago.
With a jump and a push, Conan was hanging on the edge of the window of the duty room. There were obvious footprints on the floor of the room, and things had been rummaged through, but the other party had put them back to their original state.
When Hagiwara Kenji saw this environment, he remembered that some people were afraid of ghosts.
"Xiaoyou, are you afraid too?"
Morinaga Yuya subconsciously clenched his fists and blinked more frequently than usual.
"Not bad."
After exploring the surrounding area, Conan turned around and saw the three people still in the distance, and couldn't help but urge them.
"Brother Yuya, hurry up."
Hagiwara Kenji ran towards Conan and said, "Here I come."
In this environment, the person who made Morinaga Yuya feel most at ease was Matsuda Jinpei. He was so good at fighting that even ghosts might be afraid of him. They followed him consciously, pulling his sleeves with their hands.
Jinpei Matsuda glanced at his sleeve that was being pulled, and his big hand fell on Yuya Morinaga's head.
"If there's a ghost, I'll teach you how to defeat it."
Conan was staring at Kenji Hagiwara using wire to pry open a lock. It only took him a few or three tries for the lock, which was originally unable to lock anything, to fall off.
"If Officer Megure were here, he'd start nagging again."
“So I never demonstrated it in front of him.”
Kenji Hagiwara proudly shook the wire in his hand.
There were a lot of fallen leaves on the ground in the yard, making a rustling sound when stepped on.
"According to these traces, quite a few people have come to this orphanage recently."
"Even if it's not Mr. Mihashi, maybe we can find some 'big fish'."
After all, most people would not come to such abandoned places. If it was a child in the orphanage in front, that child would leave traces of adult shoe size.
The swing in the yard is so rusty that it makes people wonder if it will break if they sit on it.
Although it is highly likely that no one will sit on it.
Matsuda Jinpei stared at that spot for a while, there was a faint smell of blood, he took out the wet wipes on his body and wiped the dark brown area, leaving a light brown mark on the handkerchief.
"It's blood."
Morinaga Yuuya leaned over to look at the marks on Matsuda Jinpei's handkerchief. "Should we notify the Sendai police to come over and examine it before we leave?"
Matsuda Jinpei placed the wipe in the evidence bag. "Looks like it was left there a few days ago. Let's take it back and compare it with Mr. Mihashi's blood."
"Leaving blood here?"
Morinaga Yuya stood up and looked around. There were some black things on the benches, swings and even the slide.
"If it's all blood, then something serious seems to have happened here."
Morinaga Yuya turned his head and saw that Matsuda Jinpei was holding an iron rod in his hand.
"Brother Zhenping?"
Matsuda Jinpei extended his hand and handed over the stick, "Here, use it for self-defense."
Yuya Morinaga pointed to the tennis bag behind him and said, "I brought a tennis bag with me, so I can protect myself without any problems."
I don’t know when this habit was formed, but by the time Morinaga Yuya realized it, he always carried a tennis bag with him whenever he went out.
However, the tennis bag has a large capacity and is very convenient for travel.
Jinpei Matsuda glanced hesitantly at Yuya Morinaga's tennis bag. "Using a tennis racket for self-defense?" It seemed possible.
After a quick search of the yard, the four of them walked into the building on the far right.
The large public space has been divided into private spaces, and now only the basic wooden bed remains, and everything else has been moved away.
"It's the dormitory."
There were no strange traces in the building. All that was left were the marks of children playing, like illusions in the darkness.
The building in the center is the activity room and classroom. The cute stickers everywhere have some black and brown marks on them. The thick dust on the floor is left with messy footprints and dripping blood.
After thinking for a moment, Jinpei Matsuda stuffed the iron rod into Conan's hand. It would be better for someone of his size to have some self-defense equipment.
Conan was silent for two seconds, then gripped the iron rod.
Damn it, if you have the guts, make him change back now.
Keeping the formation with Matsuda Jinpei at the back and Hagiwara Kenji at the front, they followed the footprints and walked deeper into the corridor.
The footprints passed through the activity room and headed towards the utility room at the end of the corridor.
"The answer may be right here."
With the sound of moving wood, the door was pushed open.
There were a lot of cleaning tools in the utility room, and the floor was covered with messy footprints.
Kenji Hagiwara's eyes fell on the wall. There were marks left by a gun, which were very fresh.
Morinaga Yuya walked to where the footprints first appeared, which was also the shelf with the cleanest dust, and reached out to try to move something on the shelf.
"There must be some mechanism."
With a click, the shelves suddenly opened to both sides, revealing a long staircase.
Kenji Hagiwara opened the door completely to allow air to circulate.
After waiting for a few minutes, Jinpei Matsuda used a lighter to test whether there was anything abnormal in the air.
There was no noticeable change in the flame.
Jinpei Matsuda took the lead and went down directly. Conan took advantage of his small stature and walked side by side with Jinpei Matsuda.
Morinaga Yuya followed closely behind, and Hagiwara Kenji closed the door before going down.
The secret room was not very big, it was a very simple room with a table, chairs and a bookshelf, but the bookshelf was empty.
Conan said with some regret, "They should have taken the things away directly after discovering someone had broken in."
The four of them returned to the ground covered in dust, having gained nothing.
"Let's go to the director's office first. Maybe there's some remaining information."
The director's office was on the third floor of the building. As they went up, they noticed more and more dark brown traces hidden under the dust, and their footsteps became lighter.
There is obviously less dust on the third floor than downstairs, which shows that people are active there frequently.
On this side, Sato Miwako and the others finally realized that the four people had disappeared.
Sato Miwako looked at the phone that still showed it was in a call, "How come those two bastards are still so unreliable!"
Who hasn’t been fooled by these two really stupid faces at the beginning, only to find out in the end that they are just guys who run around aimlessly and don’t listen to orders and have extremely bad luck!
Not to mention two detectives with MAX curiosity.
Sato Miwako reluctantly thought of Inspector Megure who was still lying in the guesthouse, "Let's go back and explain to Inspector Megure before we set off again."
Otherwise, as soon as Inspector Megure regained consciousness, he would find that he could not contact any of the six people he brought with him, and something might happen.
The four people who were exploring here sneezed almost simultaneously.
Conan touched his nose and said, "It should be Officer Sato and the others who discovered it."
"This doesn't save them time in investigating."
Hagiwara Kenji flipped through the documents and asked, "How about sneaking into the orphanage ahead and searching it later?"
"That would really get you scolded by Inspector Megure."
Although both are illegal intrusions, there is a big difference between in an abandoned orphanage and in an orphanage with many children.
"Call Officer Megure first. It would be disastrous if we alert them and they choose to transfer the data."
Conan did what he said and called directly.
Matsuda Jinpei approved of the move and set the useless information aside. "Besides, Officer Megure still has to go to the Sendai Metropolitan Police Department to negotiate."
"This child looks a lot like Mr. Mihashi."
Morinaga Yuya found a piece of information and found that the child's name was Mihashi Maki.
"I remember Mr. Mihashi's full name was Shingo Mihashi."
"Then it seems we are lucky enough to find it in one go."
Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda sat on either side of Yuya Morinaga and looked at the document together.
Conan, who was on the phone, quickly explained to Officer Megure, "It has been confirmed that Mr. Mihashi is coming to the Xinghui Orphanage. Officer Megure, please come quickly."
Before Inspector Megure had time to ask for details, Conan hung up the phone.
Then he pulled the hem of Matsuda Jinpei's clothes very naturally and was picked up.
Conan: Damn Black Organization, give him back his height!
In the ID photo, Mihashi Maki has a very stiff smile on his face. At first glance, it seems that he is extremely uncomfortable with the camera. He is wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and there are obvious bruises on his arms that are exposed.
The creator of the data seems very confident that these will not be seen by outsiders, otherwise there would be no such obvious traces left.
Footsteps suddenly appeared, and Morinaga Yuya was leaning against the wall, holding a tennis racket in his hand, with a few balls stuffed in his trouser pockets.
Conan hid behind the desk chair with the enhancement button on his shoes turned on, ready to kick the football at any time if the situation went wrong.
The steel rod that was originally in Conan's hand was in Hagiwara Kenji's hand again. He hid behind the door and prepared to hit the other party on the head at the right time.
Jinpei Matsuda was leaning carelessly on the desk, and only Conan, who was hiding behind him, could see that his muscles were completely tense, like a black panther ready to hunt.
The footsteps stopped outside the door, and now they were separated by a wall.
"Really? Where on earth did all these troublesome guys come from?"
"It doesn't matter. We'll just kill them and bury them in the backyard."
"We can't let anyone escape this time, otherwise Master Gin will kill us."
"I didn't intend to end up like the last two unlucky guys. But to be honest, it was their incompetence that allowed the other party to escape injured."
Gin!!!
Conan's originally vigilant eyes were filled with excitement. It turned out to be related to the organization!
The two people who heard the name from their classmates looked at each other.
Hagiwara Kensuke reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone, then dialed a number after muting the phone.
Zhu Fujingguang, who was handling public security affairs, quickly answered the call. There was silence on the other end, followed by the sound of two people talking.
"It seems that it was Gin-sama who finally cleaned up the mess."
"I still haven't forgotten the time when Gin-sama shot Kimura last time."
"Kill him first. I suspect the guy who ran away led him here."
"They're probably just some curious detectives. The flowers in the backyard are blooming so beautifully, it's all thanks to these crazy detectives."
After obtaining the consent of Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, both of them had positioning systems in their mobile phones. Morinaga Yuya's mobile phone also had one, as he was not trustworthy. Of course, they could also turn it off on their own initiative.
After hearing the word Gin, Zhu Fujingguang had already led his men there.
At the same time, don't forget to contact your young friends who are still in the United States. It will be a big trouble if they are affected.
Hagiwara Kenji also gestured to Morinaga Yuu, meaning to capture him alive and interrogate him.
Morinaga Yuuya blinked, he suspected that Kenji had been exposed to something dangerous recently.
Every time he caught a murderer, he caught him alive. They are all in prison now.
Meeting Morinaga Yuya's puzzled gaze, Hagiwara Kenji smiled awkwardly.
Jinpei Matsuda looked at Kenji Hagiwara with disdain. This guy would tell everything to Yuya Morinaga sooner or later.
Conan outside the encrypted channel: ...Can you change it to one he can understand? The Sherlock Holmes code would be good.
The door handle was pushed down and it opened little by little.
People outside really like to play this game of scaring the other person to death and then shooting them to death.
Glancing at the gun in the other person's hand, Morinaga Yuya grabbed the two balls with his right hand, threw them up and swung the racket without hesitation.
The man in black saw the tennis ball flying towards him, grinned and was about to laugh at the other party who was so panicked that he actually wanted to fight back with this thing.
The speed of the tennis ball gradually increased, and by the time the men in black realized it, they could no longer dodge it and were hit straight in the abdomen.
Jinpei Matsuda, who was in the best viewing position, watched as the two balls knocked the two men away and embedded them in the wall. The pistol, which had been used with caution, lay carelessly on the ground.
Matsuda Jinpei gasped, "Has tennis evolved to this point now? That blond guy used to play tennis too, right?"
Hagiwara Kenji stepped forward and picked up the gun. "If he could hit like this, he would have probably hit you with a tennis ball under the cherry tree that night."
Conan thought about his football. It should be normal to hit it like this with a tennis ball, right?
This isn't normal at all! He has the bonus of Professor Agasa's tools, but he and Yuya went to the sporting goods store to pick out this tennis racket, it's just an ordinary racket.
Kenji Hagiwara picked up the tennis ball that fell on the ground and studied it. It looked like an ordinary tennis ball.
"Is this normal, Yuya?"
Morinaga Yuuya was confused as to what was wrong, and he asked the same question, "It's just a normal power ball. Akaya has already learned it by now."
The name Akaya has been heard many times by Kenji Hagiwara and others during their phone calls with Yuya Morinaga.
My general impression is that he is a good tennis player, but he can't beat the seniors. He is a very hardworking and well-behaved child, but his grades are not very good, so he is difficult to teach.
It seems that Yuya and his teammates in the tennis club can probably hit this ball.
Conan tried to pull the person out, but found that he couldn't, so he sincerely asked Morinaga Yuya about this.
"Can I learn it, Yuya-nii?"
Morinaga Yuuya thought about it seriously, "It's just that Conan's strength needs training. He can go to the tennis club near my home. My membership hasn't expired yet."
Conan silently added tennis training to the list.
Hagiwara Kenji, who also failed in his attempt to detain someone, suggested, "Let's go learn it sometime, Jinpei-kun."
Jinpei Matsuda pushed up his sunglasses, the surprise in his eyes had subsided, and he nodded calmly.
"When Yuya's national competition comes around, please take some time off and go over there."
"The national competition? Brother Yan'er and Brother Zhenping can just come and watch the finals. No one will be able to take down the weights in the previous competitions."
Zhu Fujingguang, who had listened to the entire conversation on the phone, silently took out his phone and sent a message to the other party.
【ToZ
Can your tennis ball embed people directly into the wall?
FromH】
【ToH
...How could tennis balls have this function?
Did you not sleep well recently? Or did Hello disturb you?
FromZ】
Zhu Fujingguang turned off his cell phone. It seemed that his childhood influence was outdated.
He could go watch Yuya's game then.
Far away in the United States, Rei Furuya was completely confused as to when Hiro became interested in tennis.
Forget it, I’ll ask when I get back.
He raised his hand to press the brim of his hat and continued his infiltration work.
The loud noise coming from the third floor attracted the remaining five people in the building to rush over here.
Seeing that the other party was holding a gun, Jinpei Matsuda took the gun handed to him by Kenji Hagiwara.
“I didn’t expect there were so many people here.”
Kenji Hagiwara raised his hand and hit the two people on the wall to make sure they were stable.
"Try to keep a few who can be interrogated."
At the same time, he took out his phone and turned on the sound, "How many people do you need to leave alive?"
Zhu Fujingguang's voice came from the other end, accompanied by the sound of the helicopter spinning, "We'll be there soon. Safety first, even one will do."
Conan heard the voice and looked at Kenji Hagiwara. It was the voice of the public security officer who had done business with him last time.
He was indeed generous. The USB flash drive contained information on several codenamed members, especially Vermouth and the famous movie star Sharon Wynyard. I didn't expect that he had come into contact with members of the Black Organization so early.
"Don't worry, it's just five people. Xiao Zhenping and I can handle it."
As soon as Hagiwara Kenji finished speaking, someone rushed to the third floor. The moment he saw the figure, Matsuda Jinpei pulled the trigger and shot the other person in the wrist.
"Yuya, prioritize hitting the wrist. After all, if you can't hold the gun, you're no longer a threat."
While shooting, Kenji Hagiwara did not forget to give advice to Yuya Morinaga.
If there were other people here, they would probably think that the smiling Hagiwara Kenji is worthy of being together with Matsuda Jinpei, one is like a big boss, and the other is like a military strategist who gives advice.
"Okay, Yanji-nii."
Morinaga Yuya obediently adjusted the hitting position, and every subsequent tennis ball landed accurately on the opponent's wrist.
However, Morinaga Yu also thought that this was his first time aiming at a human body, so he subconsciously restrained his strength a little.
After all, Brother Jingguang has to live.
Zhu Fujingguang felt helpless as he listened to the gunshots mixed with the sounds of balls hitting each other, and even the occasional sounds of people fighting for the target.
Once they start to feel worried, these guys will not be able to do anything right.
When Zhu Fujingguang finally arrived by car, the seven people were neatly tied up and kneeling in the yard.
Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara each had a racket and were trying to learn tennis quickly.
Conan squatted in front of the seven people and tried to get some information out of them.
Morinaga Yuya stood there looking at the message sent by Yukimura Seiichi.
【To Yuya
Looks like I'll have a new bedtime story, but Yuya's safety is the most important thing, please come back safely^^
Edamame dessert? Sounds like an interesting flavor.
Tanejima-senpai was dragged onto the court by Byodoin-senpai again. I can't remember how many times I've seen this scene since Byodoin-senpai came back, but I've become calm and collected~
Byodoin senior's moves are indeed powerful, but if they appear in the tennis club, Renji will probably be angry, because building a court requires a huge amount of money.
The sky is blue, the wind is gentle, and I miss you very much.
