Chapter 1113 1121 [Who moved my car? ]
While on the phone, Hirokawa Hiroshi happened to pass by a truck parked on the side of the road.
Haibara Ai was on the phone while Conan was eavesdropping on the call. The two looked up inadvertently and saw the rope on the truck break, and several heavy steel bars rolled off the truck and hit Hirokawa Hiro who was concentrating on looking at the window.
The two were startled and rushed over to stop it, but it was too late.
Fortunately, just before the steel bar rolled down, Xiaohong had just seen enough of the toys in the window and turned away.
The steel bars clattered behind his feet, breaking the solid floor tiles into spider-web-like cracks. Xiao Hong was startled by the noise and ran away in fear.
"...Xiaohong was almost hit by the steel bars just now." Haibara Ai calmed herself down, sent her location to Jiang Xia, and then switched back to the call interface.
She ran to the side of the truck, frowned and glanced at the rope on the ground. Her expression became serious, and she whispered to Jiang Xia on the phone: "Something is wrong - the rope broke very neatly. I'm afraid this is not an accident. Someone deliberately cut the rope."
"It could be an accidental vent of anger, or someone might be targeting the truck driver, or the child you are responsible for following." Jiang Xia glanced at the location on his phone. "Anyway, I'll be there right away. Be careful."
"Okay." Haibara Ai felt a little relieved after hearing this, relieved in every sense of the word - although Jiang Xia hangs out with members of the organization all day, he is indeed an upright person. When he heard that a child might be attacked, his whole body seemed to stand up straight. He must be worried about the situation here.
Haibara Ai put down her phone and subconsciously looked at Hirokawa Hiro.
However, when she looked up, her heart skipped a beat: "Where is that child?"
Next to him, Conan looked a little regretful: "I just saw a suspicious figure at the corner, so I subconsciously chased after him, but I didn't catch up with him, and then..." Then he turned around and found that Hirokawa Hiroshi had run away with the shopping bags.
The other three children could not be relied upon. They were still looking at the pile of steel pipes on the ground, wondering whether they should help the car owner put them back.
"Search separately, there aren't too many forks here." Conan would not dwell on his emotions for too long and soon calmed down, "Xiaohong also has the task of 'running errands and buying things', maybe he went to the corresponding store - pay more attention to stationery stores, convenience stores and grocery stores, as well as daily necessities stores and tofu stalls."
…
The five real and fake children searched hurriedly along the street for a while.
When they ran out of a store, they finally saw Hirokawa Hiroshi.
——There was an extra gift bag in Hirokawa Hiro’s shopping bag. He was crossing the street and was about to go to the next Target store.
The intersection where he was located was relatively low, and there was a slope next to it.
At this time, on the slope, a car with an empty driver's seat "accidentally" slid down the slope. Covered by the noisy voices of people in the shopping street, it was speeding up, as if with murderous intent, it crashed directly into Hirokawa Hiroshi.
"Xiao Hong——!!"
Several real kids were so scared that they dropped their cameras and rushed over.
Conan ran two steps after it, and immediately realized that he couldn't catch up. He looked down at the roadside, squatted down, and unscrewed the button on his sneakers with his fingers, intending to find something to kick to knock the car off track.
But at this moment, the three real children who were running out in a hurry in front were suddenly startled, as if they saw something terrible, and suddenly stopped.
"?"
Conan paused slightly and followed their gaze.
Then he saw two figures, one in front and one behind, rushing out from the fork in the road leading to Beika Park like lightning. Conan was startled: "Jiang Xia and... Xiaolan?"
…
Unlike the children who were desperately moving their short legs to catch up, the new reinforcements were closing the distance very quickly.
After running to the side of the road, the two men kicked against the railings blocking the road, and their bodies drew two parabolas of different lengths, landing accurately. In the blink of an eye, they had flashed to the side of the car that was sliding down the slope.
They surrounded the out-of-control car one by one, holding the open window frame with one hand and using the other hand to gain leverage from various objects nearby. In a few seconds, the car weighing more than a ton slowed down significantly.
Next to him, the "man" who had just walked out of the mall stared at the scene in shock. He didn't have time to take a bite of the half-melted ice cream in his hand, and a drop of it fell onto the back of his hand.
Jiang Xia suddenly sensed something and turned to look over here.
He secretly collected the clay puppet stuck between the axles of the car and waved to the stunned "passers-by".
The car owner came to his senses and ran over quickly. He threw the ice cream into the paper bag, opened the door and jumped into the moving car, stepped on the brakes and pulled the handbrake.
The car came to a complete stop.
The passers-by watching nearby woke up as if from a dream. Someone took the lead in cheering, and then the crowd actually started clapping.
…
Mao Lilan was suddenly surrounded by applause and smiled at the crowd embarrassedly.
She let go of the slightly deformed car frame and secretly shook her numb hands: It was so thrilling, fortunately the slope was not too steep.
Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to see if the child who was almost hit was okay.
However, as soon as she looked up, she suddenly saw an acquaintance coming out of a parked car.
Mao Lilan was stunned: "... Doctor Shinichi? Is this your car?"
The newly-appointed doctor is tall and strong, but for some reason, he seemed quite agile when he got in and out of the car just now.
He looked at Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan, and then his eyes quickly fell on Conan who was running over. The "man" showed a little warm smile, as if he wanted to say something.
But before he opened his mouth, Jiang Xia suddenly shouted to the children from afar: "Go find where the kid you are responsible for ran off to - he has been attacked twice in a row, the murderer must be targeting him, don't let him run around anymore."
Conan thought of Xiaohong who had just been lost in the blink of an eye, nodded, and without stopping, quickly chased out with the Junior Detective League and disappeared around the corner.
Haibara Ai pulled down the baseball cap on her head, without saying a word, and mingled with the children, passing by.
After running around the corner and completely out of sight of the people next to the car, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look back.
——I don’t know why, but every time I pass by that “new doctor”, I always feel a very unpleasant aura.
…
On the street behind several people.
Jiang Xia looked at the car that was nearly crashed, then looked at the "new doctor", patted his shoulder as if to comfort him, and said, "Park the car more steadily next time."
When he withdrew his hand, he also grabbed a handful of apple-flavored murderous aura.
