Chapter 1287 1295 [Uzo, take a break]
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko plan to help Toyama Kazuha look for it.
Seeing that the detectives had no intention of going in, Mao Lilan handed the umbrella to Hattori Heiji and followed them in. The three girls quickly disappeared in the store.
The space under the umbrella suddenly became much looser.
Hattori Heiji and Conan breathed a sigh of relief. When they looked up, they suddenly found Jiang Xia looking in a certain direction thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?"
The two of them also looked over and were slightly stunned.
They saw a few familiar people - it was the "Toyotomi Hideyoshi Role-Playing Tour Group" they met when they came to the castle tower in the morning.
The four middle-aged men were still wearing the family crests of various celebrities, but their expressions were different from before.
At this moment, they were no longer relaxed as before, and looked somewhat confused and anxious, gathering together to discuss something:
"Nothing in the south? Then I'll look for it in the other side."
"I looked over there, but didn't see anyone."
"Have you found the toilet?"
"Of course, I shamelessly asked every cubicle, but they didn't have any."
——It sounds like someone has lost contact.
This is a topic that the detectives cannot refuse.
Hattori Heiji, who thought the role-playing was weird in the morning and wanted to avoid these people, couldn't help but approach them and asked, "What happened?"
Conan asked more directly: "Your companion is missing?"
The "lord" with the family crest of Oda Nobunaga looked at them and sighed: "'Toyotomi Hideyoshi' is missing - around the time he met you, he received a phone call saying someone was looking for him, and then he never showed up again."
Next to her, the woman who drew the character "Ning Ning" looked at her watch and frowned impatiently: "That guy must have stood us up. He doesn't want to play the game anymore, so he should go back first."
"..." Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other, then looked at Jiang Xia: I don't know why, this description always makes them have a bad premonition...
…
One street away.
Gin and Vodka were in the car, checking messages on their phones and computers while waiting for the yellow-haired man who had entered the police station to be released.
It was rare for the two of them to have so much free time, and Gin still couldn't adapt to this slow pace of life. He looked at a few mission documents again, sent instructions to the people in Tokyo, waited for a while, frowned and said, "Hasn't come out yet?"
Although Vodka knew that this was just a complaint from his elder brother out of boredom and he didn't really want to get an answer, to be on the safe side, he still said carefully while being hit by the cat: "Kiritani went in as a suspect, so he should have come out later than Uzo and the others."
As he spoke, his eyes swept across the police car in front of the police headquarters building, and he felt vaguely uneasy.
He was always a little nervous around the police. In the past, although Vodka would avoid the police, it was just a normal avoidance, simply not wanting to deal with them, without any extra thoughts. After all, in his eyes, they were just a group of cops who were not convenient to conflict with.
“…” But now, the police are no longer just policemen, but can become a knife in Uzo’s hand at any time, cutting innocent cadres passing by.
As he was staring outside nervously, Vodka was suddenly startled: "Brother, he was released!"
Near the police station where most people have black hair, his blond hair stands out.
At this time, he was leaving the police station cursing, and took out his mobile phone, as if he wanted to call someone, but his phone was out of battery.
Huangmao stuffed the phone back with a gloomy look on his face, hurried out of the police headquarters and left along the street.
Seeing this, Gin closed his phone and glanced at Vodka.
Vodka understood immediately, opened the car door, adjusted his hat, took it off his head when the cat was not paying attention, threw it into the car, and got out of the car refreshed.
…
As he blended into the crowd, the vehicles behind him started quickly and followed the yellow-haired man silently.
It was already night, and there were fewer people around than during the day. But there were still a few tourists gathered nearby, and with people coming and going, it was difficult to kidnap someone in the street.
They were very patient and planned to follow up with another paragraph.
At this moment, an explosion suddenly came from the direction of the castle tower, followed by a vague howl that drifted in the wind.
The pedestrians on the street were startled and looked over in surprise, and saw a very eye-catching person standing on the layered eaves - the person's whole body was burning, and he kept screaming in the fire. He stumbled and tried to hold on to something, but was eventually devoured by the flames, fell on the eaves, and then rolled down along the tilted eaves.
It was already late at night, and the fire was extremely conspicuous in the night.
All the pedestrians on the street were attracted by the changes there and looked up at that place.
Vodka was the first person to react.
He remembered that just now, Jiang Xia seemed to be walking towards the fire, and his eyes jumped slightly: Wu Zuo had just harmed a group of peripheral members, and without even taking a breath, he started the next one... Is this guy's desire to kill stronger than before?
However, the "castle tower" where the incident occurred just happened to match the mission of the "Senjenari Hyoran" that Usa had previously stolen.
While Vodka was secretly trying to figure out Uzo's thoughts, he didn't forget his business.
He confirmed the location of Gin's vehicle, then looked at the yellow-haired man who was walking on the side of the street, who had also stopped and was eating a melon with his head tilted back, and approached him as if nothing had happened.
In just a few seconds, the yellow-haired man was also caught in the car. Vodka was quite skilled in doing these things.
Gin also started the car skillfully and drove away from the scene.
After walking for a while, he looked back at the castle tower, thoughtfully: just when he was about to catch someone, the burning person over there attracted the attention of passers-by... Was this also part of Uzo's calculation?
…
Unlike the crowd who were watching from a distance, the three detectives were closer to the scene.
They were standing not far from the castle tower and could clearly see the falling trajectory of the burning man.
The three of them were startled for a moment, then ran in the direction where he landed. Not long after, they saw a miserable man on the street next to them.
The man was lying on the ground, his body charred. The drizzle suppressed some of the fire, but the flames continued to come out of his body. The eaves of the castle tower were quite uneven, and the man had several buffers when he fell, and he was still breathing.
"Hey! Are you okay?!"
Hattori Heiji rushed over and saw the fire on the man, and tried to put it out. Then he realized that he was still holding an umbrella in his hand. He was about to throw it away, but suddenly remembered that it was someone else's umbrella, so he stuffed it into Jiang Xia's hand. Then he took off his coat and used it to put out the remaining flames.
