Chapter 151: A Dark and Windy Night...Being Beaten on a Night Asking for a Monthly Ticket ()
Mao Lilan looked at Jiang Xia in surprise, somewhat puzzled by his rapid improvement.
But soon, she figured it out: the continuous deaths must have made Jiang Xia feel a sense of urgency - he didn't want the victims to die inexplicably, and he was also worried that other people would be attacked next. So the small universe suddenly exploded... Yes, that's right, it must be like this!
"..." No wonder Jiang Xia always said that solving a case made him feel the value of his life. Now it seems that the effect is immediate.
Mao Lilan was quite touched and decided to take Jiang Xia out for relaxation more often in the future.
…
The two turned and walked towards the hall. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Hattori Heiji and Conan were closer to the fire scene and were a few steps slower than them.
Hattori Heiji looked at Jiang Xia's back and was also surprised at his recovery speed: And logically speaking, compared to the "vehicle explosion under the cliff", the "charred corpse and burning car frame" in the second case are more likely to make people think of a car accident...
Hattori Heiji thought for a moment and managed to find a word that could express his feelings at the moment: "...last gasp?"
Conan's eyes twitched, he felt that this was not a good thing, like a curse.
He relied on his childish appearance to step on Hattori Heiji in dissatisfaction to show his condemnation. Then he trotted a few steps and caught up with Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan.
Hattori Heiji lowered his head and looked at the extra footprints on his new shoes: "..."
The impression of Tokyo people remains at -1.
…
Others also returned to the hall one after another.
Among the group of silent people, Fujisawa Toshiaki was particularly restless.
His panic was so obvious that a sharp-tongued guest nearby couldn't help but look down on him and said, "What a coward."
Fujisawa Toshiaki was immediately furious: "If you were replaced by me, how good would you be? I almost died! - This afternoon, someone stuffed this thing into my room!"
As he said this, he slapped a piece of paper on the table.
Jiang Xia looked down and saw the words written on it:
[If you want the collector's copy, come to the garage tomorrow morning at 5am - it's under the back seat]
"Under the back seat..." Jiang Xia looked thoughtful, "This is the position where the deceased died just now. It seems that the murderer was targeting you, but later, he temporarily changed his target to her."
Hattori Heiji also thought of this, he leaned closer and asked: "Have you ever offended anyone?"
Fujisawa Toshiaki replied unhappily: "Who can I offend?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the entire hotel suddenly went out.
——The power is out.
The surroundings fell into complete darkness.
The panicked voice of the hotel staff came from a distance: "The fuse is blown... Wait a moment, I'll fix it right away!"
…
In the chaos, Jiang Xia silently borrowed the ghost's vision.
In his eyes, the dark scene suddenly became clear.
…
At the same time, Fujisawa Toshiaki, who was being targeted, was panicking. He instinctively took out his lighter and lit it, trying to dispel the darkness and find a sense of security.
Next to him, Hu Juyan saw this scene and slowly revealed a sinister sneer.
With the help of the firelight, he grabbed the ice cone, rushed towards Fujisawa Toshiaki, and stabbed him hard.
"careful!"
Conan and Hattori Heiji quickly realized that something was wrong, and they rushed to Fujisawa Toshiaki. The ice spike pierced Fujisawa Toshiaki's upper arm.
"ah--!!"
Fujisawa Toshiaki let out a loud scream, and at the same time, he let go of the lighter, which fell to the ground with a clang, and the fire went out.
“……” Hu Juyan stopped and cursed in his heart.
Without the guidance of the fire, he was unable to accurately find Fujisawa Toshiaki's weak spot and had to give up for the time being.
He was planning to return to his previous position in the dark and hide again.
But just as he took a step back, he suddenly bumped into someone.
Hu Juyan was startled. Before he could come to his senses, his collar tightened and he was suddenly lifted into the air.
——A force knocked him heavily to the ground, and immediately afterwards, he heard a "click" sound, as if something was unfolding.
…
Jiang Xia unfolded his baton, looked at the murderous aura lingering around Tojuken and the two ghosts on his legs, and his mood value continued to increase by +1.
Ordinary batons are not long enough, so it is not very convenient to use them to beat someone who is being stepped on the ground.
So Jiang Xia asked Dr. Agasa to make some improvements and got a black technology extended version.
However, the doctor seemed to have secretly tampered with the baton - the improved baton always felt less lethal when used to hit people. Fortunately, the pain level when it hit the body did not decrease at all.
Jiang Xia therefore did not ask the doctor to return to the factory.
He didn't intend to kill anyone. In theory, the weakening of the weapon's lethality would allow him to fight for a longer time, giving the guy under his feet a chance to fully reflect on his life...
…
Nearby, Hattori Heiji and Conan, who had just rescued Fujisawa Toshiaki, suddenly heard another scream. It sounded even more shrill than Fujisawa Toshiaki's scream, and there was also a series of horrifying sounds of sticks hitting flesh.
Hattori Heiji was shocked: The murderer's target is not only Fujisawa Toshiaki? !
Conan also became alert.
Originally, he wanted to follow the sound and kick something over there to stop the murderer from committing violence. But before he could find a suitable weapon, the familiar sound made Conan stop and automatically imagined the precious image of Jiang Xia beating someone... After comparing, he could even match the rhythm of the beating perfectly.
In the darkness, except for Conan and Ran Maoli who had a premonition, everyone else fell into panic to varying degrees because of these terrible movements.
Fujisawa Toshiaki, who was stabbed by the ice cone, was still groaning while covering his arm. But at this moment, the scream that completely overwhelmed him made him stop unconsciously.
...I always feel that compared with the person who is being beaten, his wounds are nothing.
…
In the eerie atmosphere, the staff finally replaced the fuse. The lights in the hall flickered for a moment and then lit up again.
Hattori Heiji stood up immediately and prepared to rush over to save people.
However, when he saw the scene before him, he stopped in a daze.
——The one who beat him up was Jiang Xia.
"Why are you..."
Hattori Heiji had just finished asking when he suddenly realized something: "Is this person the murderer?!"
