Chapter 1016 1024 [I’m not a detective anymore! ]
Jiang Xia remembered the plan of "asking the police for clues" that they had just discussed, and quickly followed him out.
However, just as he squeezed through the chaotic crowd of onlookers and before he could catch up with Officer Kenmochi, someone suddenly grabbed his hand.
When he turned around, he saw Sakuragi Ruriko pulling him towards the classroom: "It's time for class, go to class first, and leave the rest to the police - after all, we are students, and our main job is to study."
“…”
Kudo Shinichi was also stopped by her.
He glanced at Jiang Xia who was also held back, then turned to look at Hattori Heiji.
Unexpectedly, Hattori Heiji did not chase the police, but stood there in a daze, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
"...Hattori?" Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko also noticed something was wrong and pushed him.
Hattori Heiji came to his senses, responded, and walked out of the classroom.
…
Next, the copy really gave them a day of lessons.
Fortunately, under Jiang Xia's increasingly impatient gaze, time passed rapidly.
It's finally time to go home from school.
Kudo Shinichi leaned back in his chair and stretched, looking at the NPC classmates who were tidying up their desks around him, feeling quite emotional.
He turned from the front seat and whispered to Jiang Xia in the back seat: "I haven't experienced normal high school life for a long time. It's more comfortable now. Come to think of it, you haven't grown smaller, but you don't study hard and insist on following that suspicious boss as a detective..."
As he spoke, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but feel a little envious and condemning, "You don't cherish your youth!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Suddenly, a scene flashed through his mind of parents nagging their children, "You have such a good life, but you don't work hard!" The corner of his eye jumped, and he turned to Mao Lilan who was two tables away: "Conan..."
"!!" Kudo Shin stood up quickly and slammed the table righteously, drowning out Jiang Xia's voice, "We should go investigate the case!"
"...Oh, okay." Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki were startled by his excessive action.
After responding subconsciously, Mao Lilan remembered something and looked at Jiang Xia: "What did you say just now? What happened to Conan?"
“…”
Kudo Shinichi sweated profusely. His eyes drifted to his desk: I wonder if this desk can withstand Xiaolan's angry blow after being surprised...
Fortunately, the neighbor didn't actually sell him.
Jiang Xia cleared his throat and talked about something else: "Conan must like this game very much, but it's too dangerous to bet his life on it. Besides, we don't get to decide who to invite to play. Otherwise, I really want him to come in and take a look."
Mao Lilan drooped a little when she heard this heavy topic: "Yes."
She thought of the "Ms. Miyano" whom she met for the first time but felt inexplicably familiar, and then thought of her hanging body. She lowered her head and sighed: "Fortunately, it's just a game." ... There is still a chance of resurrection.
…
The four people walked out of the classroom sighing, and suddenly felt that something was missing.
Jiang Xia turned around and glanced at the busy corridor: "...Where's Hattori?"
"I remember that during class, his seat was behind me on the left." Suzuki Sonoko said as she took two steps back and looked inside from the door.
Sure enough, I saw Hattori Heiji next to the rear window.
Seeing that Hattori Heiji was still sitting in his original position, Suzuki Sonoko waved at him and urged him, "Hey! Detective Kansai, what are you daydreaming about? It's time to go investigate the case!"
The voice echoed in the classroom. Hattori Heiji lowered his head and looked at the difficult problems in the exercise book, twirling the pen with one hand without even raising his head, looking disdainful.
"?" Suzuki Sonoko thought he didn't hear it, so she just walked into the classroom.
When Mao Lilan saw her walking, she followed subconsciously.
Jiang Xia glanced at the strange Hattori Heiji from across half the classroom and vaguely understood something.
At this moment, Kudo Shinichi suddenly patted him and looked out the window: "Oh no, the police are about to withdraw!"
Jiang Xia was startled and turned around to look. Through the corridor window, he could see some policemen retreating one after another.
——The street signs before only had "residential area" and "school", but did not include the police station. I don't know if the location is not open yet, or if there is no such place at all.
In any case, stopping someone and asking about the situation is the safest way. Maybe it can also open up the police's relevant address.
Kudo Shinichi turned around and rushed out of the corridor.
Jiang Xia glanced at the classroom, thought for a moment, and said to the two girls who noticed the commotion, "Gather in the activity room later."
Then he followed.
…
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan stood in the classroom, looking down at Hattori Heiji who was concentrating on solving the problem, and were a little confused: "Why do you have to stay in the classroom? There are no clues here."
Hattori Heiji frowned: "Don't disturb me while I'm studying."
"......?" Suzuki Sonoko was shocked. "What's the point of studying? The important thing now is to solve the case!"
"Solve the case?" Hattori Heiji snorted, "There's no future in being a detective!"
As he said this, he wanted to raise his hand to push up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose... But unfortunately, he was not nearsighted and of course did not wear glasses.
In the end, he had to move his hand and adjust his collar.
Mao Lilan: “…”
Suzuki Sonoko: “…”
The two men couldn't help but clench their fists, wanting to knock on the broken detective's head to see if they could physically restart it. But then they thought, after all, they were teammates, so they held back with difficulty.
"Could he become like this because of the previous reasoning?" Mao Lilan remembered something and muttered in a low voice: "I remember that in some games, in order to limit unlimited trial and error, there will be penalties for guessing wrong - maybe Hattori has fallen into this trap."
"…What should we do? Is there any hope?"
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned. The truth was already confusing, and now she lost a teammate. She looked around and said, "Why don't we ask Jiang Xia what to do? He plays a lot of games, maybe he can think of a solution..."
Mao Lilan nodded hesitantly: "I just vaguely heard Jiang Xia say 'activity room'. Maybe there was something urgent, so he asked us to gather in the activity room later - let's go see if he's back."
Hattori Heiji refused to go with them, believing that there was no future in being a detective.
Looking at his packed schoolbag, the two girls were worried that if he left, Hattori Heiji would slip away somewhere, and their hope would go from "maybe he could be saved" to "completely dead".
"...I'll stay and watch over him. It's just after school, there are still a lot of people in the school, and it's not dark yet, so it's not dangerous."
Suzuki Sonoko took a look at Mao Lilan's legs. With such long legs, she must be very fast when running. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Lan, go to the activity room and take a look. If Jiang Xia and the others are here, bring them back immediately. If not, then... come back right away!"
The two sides were not far apart, and it would only take two or three minutes to go back and forth, so it was not a big problem. Moreover, Hattori Heiji seemed to be able to communicate, so he could barely be considered a half-teammate and could help a little.
Mao Lilan thought about it and nodded heavily: "I'll be there soon!"
She ran quickly to the activity room.
