Chapter 14161416 [Are you also a planner? ]
Jiang Xia: “…” Why did he make it seem like he had just come back from swindling Ireland? It was clearly the cadre who had bad luck, and Uzo, who was passing by, was just fulfilling his duty of “maintaining his image as a righteous detective” and saving a patrolman who was almost shot in the head…
The coffee in this shop is of very good quality.
Jiang Xia quickly put those troubles behind him, drank slowly, and enjoyed the good time of the moment.
Halfway through drinking, I suddenly felt something was wrong: it seemed like it was already evening.
He looked at the remaining half cup of coffee, hesitated for a moment, and simply continued to drink: since he had already drunk it, there was actually no difference between half a cup and a full cup. And if he thought about it carefully, it was not a bad thing for him to have insomnia at night. At most, he could go out for a few laps and see if there was any case calling for the fake detective.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a sirens sound on the street through the window.
Jiang Xia turned his head and looked out the window, and saw a police car roaring in and stopped at the red light intersection next to the coffee shop.
Judging from its direction, it seemed to be heading to the place where someone fell from the building just now.
Through the half-open car window, Jiang Xia saw several familiar faces in the car: Mouri Ran and Conan were sitting in the back, and Mouri Kogoro was in the passenger seat.
In the driver's seat was the haggard policewoman, Miwako Sato, who was working overtime.
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up, and while the four people were stopped at a red light, he ran out of the cafe and went straight to them - he had already asked for the bill in advance when ordering. Now it seems that this is indeed a good habit that a detective should have.
…
Mao Lilan was sitting in the car and was a little anxious.
At this moment, she suddenly heard the wind chimes on the door of a shop next to the street ringing.
She casually looked in the direction of the sound and saw the person running out. She was suddenly stunned: "Jiang Xia?"
"Yeah." Jiang Xia appeared next to the police car in the blink of an eye. He had never moved so fast even when he was running for his life. He looked around and quietly reached out to open the car door. "What happened?"
Officer Sato saw him rubbing against the car so naturally, his eyes jumped, and he shouted in a low voice: "This is at the intersection!"
...But there were no cars around, and there seemed to be no surveillance here. And Jiang Xia was determined to get in the car, and it seemed difficult to persuade him to leave. If he continued to stay on the road, it might be even more dangerous.
After a brief hesitation, Officer Sato silently unlocked the car door. After all, if there was someone following her outside, it would affect her speed.
Jiang Xia used his experience of hitchhiking and successfully got into the car.
After he sat firmly, he reached back and closed the door. His movement was so smooth that it took less than a second.
Just as the red light ended, the police car started again.
Through the rearview mirror, Officer Sato gave him a disapproving look, and it seemed that he was going to send him to the traffic police for a lecture later.
In the back seat, Conan, who often skateboards along motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, walls and bus bodies, doesn't have much opinion on this kind of hitchhiking behavior.
He moved inward to make room for Jiang Xia, his face looking a little solemn.
…
The car started again. Jiang Xia looked at the few acquaintances beside him and asked the same question again: "What happened?"
The other people were not surprised that Jiang Xia suddenly appeared from a roadside coffee shop. After all, Jiang Xia often went to various places to catch cats, and from time to time he had to find clients of all walks of life and various personalities. Occasionally, he would work part-time for his boss who exploited high school students, and he also liked to go out racing in the middle of the night... It didn't seem strange for him to appear in any corner of Tokyo at any time.
Maori Kogoro didn't think too much about it. Seeing Jiang Xia asking, he angrily repeated what had just happened:
"I won a small fortune yesterday betting on horses. There happened to be a new restaurant opened in the food court, so I took Xiaolan and Conan to try it out. Speaking of which, although the restaurant is expensive, their beer tastes really good. I'll take you there when I have time... Oh, no, you can't appreciate it yet."
Jiang Xia: "..." Humph, naive. Who said he couldn't appreciate it? Leave a store name, and tomorrow he will... have the puppet go over and buy it back.
Mao Lilan poked Mao Li Kogoro: "Dad, get to the point!"
Maori Kogoro came back to his senses, tapped his drunken head, and said seriously: "We were eating in that open-air restaurant, and suddenly the waiter came over with a phone and said someone called the store and specifically wanted to talk to me, and asked me to transfer the call."
…
At that time, Maori Kogoro had just picked up the phone when he heard a voice that deserved a beating: "Former policeman, long time no see - I heard that you have resigned and become a detective now?"
When Maori Kogoro heard this tone and address, he had a bad feeling:
After resigning, those who still regard him as a "former policeman" are, except for his former colleagues, basically those who want to cause trouble - after all, the police profession is the natural enemy of criminals. Among those who are sent to jail by them and released after a few years, some will turn over a new leaf, while others just want revenge.
Maori Kogoro frowned: "Who are you?"
"Humph, you are so forgetful. It's me." The person on the other end of the phone said with a cold tone, and gave his name, "Himuro Reiji."
This surname is not very common.
Maori Kogoro recalled for a moment and suddenly remembered: "The bank robber I sent to jail? You got out so soon?"
"That's right." Although Kogoro Mori recognized him successfully, what he mentioned was obviously not something pleasant.
Himuro Reiji laughed unpleasantly: "You are so leisurely. Others are living in fear because of you, but you still have the mind to take the children out to enjoy the meal - haha, by the way, you probably don't know yet, someone is going to die because of you."
As he spoke, he stood in the building opposite the restaurant and waved down at Kogoro Mori through the window.
They waited until Kogoro Mori and the others paid the bill and rushed over to catch the man, but Himuro Reiji did not leave.
…
In the police car, Maori Kogoro recalled and punched his thigh angrily: "I asked him what he meant, but he just said mysteriously, 'It's too late now' and 'I will make you live in guilt for the rest of your life'..."
As he spoke, he sighed, a little tired: "Actually, I hope this is just a joke, but based on my experience, for criminals with criminal records, 80% of the cruel words they say are true.
"So I tried to call the police, and then I learned that at the same time that Bingshi called me, someone really died - the person fell from an abandoned building and fell to his death."
