Chapter 1124 1132 [Unlucky Bourbon]
President Ohara, who had just left the table, had returned to his seat without anyone noticing.
He accidentally spilled some water in the cup and wanted to find a handkerchief to wipe it dry. However, after searching his body for a long time, he couldn't find the handkerchief.
After a moment, President Ohara seemed to remember something, slapped his forehead, and went to the bathroom again - he forgot his handkerchief in there.
Ohara Yu passed by Conan and Okiya Subaru.
The two men with glasses subconsciously turned their heads and glanced at Ohara Yu's back with different thoughts.
Just then, a scream suddenly came from the side.
Conan and Okiya Subaru were startled, and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Mao Lilan who had seen something with a horrified expression, and she shouted in their direction: "Run!!"
As she spoke, Mao Lilan suddenly stood up.
At the same time, Jiang Xia, who was sitting further away, pushed his stool away and ran over quickly.
Okiya Subaru's heart skipped a beat, and he realized something was wrong. Amidst the panic, he actually felt a sense of calmness, "As expected." Before he could stop skipping a beat, Jiang Xia, who was running over, suddenly pushed him hard on the shoulder. Conan, who was standing next to him, was also thrown out at the same time, and the two weaklings fell into a ball, rolling out on the ground with a thud.
There was a loud “boom” behind me, so deafening that the whole cafe seemed to shake.
“?!”
Subaru Okiya covered his head, got up from the ground and looked back.
Then I was shocked to find that half a truck had crashed into the coffee shop.
"……"truck??
…
A truck slid down the slope and crashed heavily into the French window, turning half of the cafe into ruins.
The worst-hit area was the table where President Ohara and Toru Aida were sitting.
President Ohara just went to the bathroom to look for a handkerchief and escaped.
Toru Aida, who was trying to change jobs and make a living, unfortunately had his back to the window and did not see the truck at all, nor did he have time to hide.
At this time, his hand emerged from the gap between the truck and the broken bricks. It was pale and weak, and it was already the hand of a dead man.
In addition, next to him, under the ruins, another human figure was vaguely visible.
——There was more than one person hit by the truck.
Subaru Okiya was suddenly stunned - the store manager and Ohara Yu were far away from the window, one was at the bar, and the other was in the bathroom. Although Mao Lilan was still at the table, she was also not close to the window. He and Conan were fine, so the second victim...
Jiang Xia——!!
...Damn Uzo!
Subaru Okiya couldn't help but pound the ground: Usa actually attacked the detective! ! ... No, that position was actually more like he was going to hit him and Conan, but Jiang Xia reacted too quickly...
The guilt in Okiya Subaru's heart surged up like a tide.
He ran over quickly, trying to dig his benefactor out of the rubble and shake it to see if he could still be saved.
He was holding a large piece of building debris on the ground and was about to lift it up when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder and handed him a pair of gloves: "Put these on. They will be more efficient and less likely to get scratched."
"Thank you very much."
Okiya Subaru took it and was suddenly stunned.
A second later, he turned his head and looked at the man who was putting on another pair of gloves while reminding Mao Lilan to call the police and an ambulance. He instinctively dodged backwards and almost bumped into the rubble: "Jiang Xia?!"
Jiang Xia said "Hmm?" and before Okiya Subaru fell into the ruins, he grabbed Okiya Subaru's collar and pulled him out.
At the same time, he asked in surprise: "What happened? It's like seeing a ghost."
Okiya Subaru: "..."...Aren't you a ghost? !
Conan also got up from the ground. While looking for his glasses, he looked at Subaru Okiya and became suspicious again: I always feel that Mr. Okiya is not right. The "spitting" just now was really just an excuse, right? - Subaru Okiya seemed very sure that "someone wants to harm Jiang Xia". Just like the last time in the Twin Towers, he reminded Jiang Xia about the "sniper".
...Who is this person?
…
As Conan was secretly observing, Okiya Subaru gradually came back to his senses.
After all, he was still a highly educated materialist. Moreover, Jiang Xia had feet and a shadow. When he stepped on the broken wood, the wood did indeed dent a little. He could also reach out and lift him up. No matter how you looked at him, he was a real living person.
But, if that’s the case, where did the extra body come from?
It was the middle of the day, the sun was shining brightly, and there was a detective who could ward off evil spirits standing next to him, but Subaru Okiya couldn't help but feel goosebumps on his back.
…
Jiang Xia seemed to have the same doubts, but soon he discovered the problem.
He leaned over and touched the two hands that stretched out from the rubble: "Neither has a pulse. But this extra person...has been dead for a while."
As he spoke, he looked down at the bench next to him, his eyes revealing understanding: "This bench is hollow and can be used as a locker. It seems that when the truck crashed in just now, it smashed the bench here, so the body inside fell out."
Mao Lilan got goose bumps when she heard Jiang Xia's words. She hugged her phone tightly and said, "Officer Sato, come quickly! We found two more dead bodies near the case this morning. I'll send you the specific address right away!"
As she was speaking, she suddenly felt a shadow leap past her, moving ethereally and fast as a ghost.
"ah--!!"
Mao Lilan was startled and instinctively picked up the stool next to her and threw it over.
There was a muffled "bang" sound.
Unfortunately, the fleeing Katsumura Eiji was hit accurately. He rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.
Jiang Xia glanced at him and found that there was no murderous intent in him, so he withdrew his gaze with boredom.
…
Everything is settled.
Except for President Ohara, who was hiding in the corner and dared not speak, the rest of them were people who had witnessed many murders.
Although they were frightened, they quickly calmed down after confirming that it was not a ghost.
Okiya Subaru finally connected the dots he had found before: "It seems that the acting store manager killed the store manager and hid the body in the store... No wonder he was always sneering and deliberately brewing the coffee in such a strange way. It turns out he wanted to drive you away."
…
After figuring out the problem of "corpse appearing out of nowhere", the rest of the things are not scary.
Jiang Xia looked at the front window of the truck, which was cracked into a spider web. "There's no one in the car. It looks like it slid down the slope... The store is damaged like this, it may not be safe. Let's get out first."
As he said this, he picked up the fake store manager who had fallen unconscious and went outside with the others.
As soon as I got to the street, I suddenly saw a person running down the slope from afar.
That man should be the driver of the unlucky truck. He was wearing an ordinary freight forwarder's uniform, but his exposed forearms were bronze, unlike those of ordinary people, and his figure looked... a little familiar.
