Chapter 148 A Legitimate Reason to Hang Up
Hattori Heiji hissed and covered his forehead: This is the second time, what's wrong with this kid...
He glanced at Conan, who was wearing noise-proofing earmuffs and observing traces on the ground, and frowned silently.
——This kid's way of solving cases is always consistent with that of a "famous detective from Kansai". This is unscientific...
…
A few minutes later.
All the remaining people in "The Journey of Sherlock Holmes" gathered in the restaurant, looking solemn.
"The explosion just now was not a 'smokescreen' or 'detective game' by Mr. Jingu. It was a real accident."
Hattori Heiji said:
"We did a quick search and found that all the cell phones that everyone had handed in had been destroyed. In addition, the telephone lines were cut, and the only car left in the garage had its fuel drained. The deep forest at night is very dangerous, and we will be trapped here until dawn."
When Hattori Heiji was summarizing the situation, he would unconsciously glance at Jiang Xia every time he spoke.
The mentality is probably similar to that of a defense. After speaking a little, you glance at your instructor so that you can objectively examine whether your answer is appropriate based on his or her reaction.
However, it was different from what Hattori Heiji expected: Jiang Xia refused to give any reaction at all. He just sat quietly on the sofa, as if he was completely immersed in his own thoughts.
At this moment, a burst of exaggerated laughter suddenly broke out in the crowd.
Several people were startled and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a woman click a lighter and light a cigarette for herself.
She suddenly revealed a mysterious smile: "The identity of the murderer, the methods used, the decisive evidence... I already know everything."
…
Conan also noticed that Jiang Xia was distracted.
He had just carefully taken off his noise-isolating earmuffs when he suddenly heard another guy start to spoil the plot. Conan's hands trembled and he put the earmuffs back on.
At the same time, he secretly felt lucky that this lady liked to lay the groundwork. If everyone was like Jiang Xia, who liked to start with "The murderer is xxx", then he would definitely not be able to catch up with wearing earmuffs...
Conan turned around with lingering fear, closed his eyes, and tried to analyze.
But not long after, the earmuffs were pulled off by Hattori Heiji.
Hattori Heiji sighed, "Don't cover it up. She didn't identify the murderer. She just said that she would give the murderer 10 minutes to think about it. If that person doesn't surrender, she will expose the murderer."
"I see..." Conan pulled his earmuffs back from his hands, feeling a little conflicted.
——Although there is no need to worry about the woman revealing the answer for the time being, Jiang Xia Ke is still sitting next to him, so the earmuffs might be useful.
"..."Come to think of it, why is Jiang Xia so quiet today?
…
Mao Lilan also noticed something was wrong.
She and Conan walked to Jiang Xia and saw Jiang Xia looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if he was lost in deep memories, looking autistic and not wanting to pay attention to the outside world.
Mao Lilan was pacing anxiously beside Jiang Xia, a little worried, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Conan suddenly remembered something and an idea flashed in his mind.
While Hattori Heiji was not around, Conan leaned close to Jiang Xia's ear and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Where is your medicine?"
"……"medicine?
Xiaobai lay on Jiang Xia's shoulder, pondering the meaningless words in confusion, suspecting that Conan was cursing. He took out a feather that Mist Tengu had dropped before, used it as a pen, and silently remembered the grudge.
However, Xiaobai thought secretly: In this situation, there is no need to call Jiang Xia back specifically.
——The psychic master said that if there are any questions, Conan can figure it out on his own.
…
Jiang Xia's real body has no connection awareness.
So when faced with Conan's question, he didn't give any response and continued to be distracted.
Mao Lilan heard it, and she came closer in confusion and asked in a low voice: "What medicine?"
