Chapter 1576 1584 [Uzo is actually me? 】
Conan's doubts grew wildly. He kept recalling the walking speed of his group, the reason why he fell behind, the route of the suspicious passerby who was almost hit, the time when he noticed the buffer piled at the door of the store, and the current unknown murderer's activity trajectory...
The variables are stacked one on top of another, making it dizzying. And this is just one case. If we add the previous incident of smashing people...
In Conan's mind, countless clues were tangled together. He felt the wind blowing across the rooftop, and a layer of cold sweat slowly broke out on his forehead: Considering all the circumstances, this kind of control does not seem to be impossible, but there are huge unexpected factors in every link. To achieve the current goal accurately, the difficulty is unimaginable.
In fact, compared to "someone controlling it", in Conan's reasoning, each of these things is more like a simple accumulation of accidents.
But these "accidents" are so coincidental that it is hard to believe, as if there really is a hand hidden behind them that is randomly manipulating events.
And if this series of cases is really manipulated by humans...
Conan took a deep breath and clenched his fists: he had been in contact with the organization for so long before, and he had encountered so many dangerous people who could blow up cars, buildings and bridges, but he was not afraid. But now, a trace of fear emerged from the bottom of his heart - this mysterious new cadre actually had a feeling of being elusive, impossible to start with, and impossible to defeat.
But fear does not mean dread. Soon, Conan gradually felt himself getting excited again: "..." I can't give up so early!
——Even if there really is such a cadre who can manipulate cases at will...mystery and fear all come from the unknown. As long as he gets in touch with more cases and tries to collect information, sooner or later, he will be able to catch the cadre's flaws!
As he was thinking, Conan suddenly shuddered and felt like he was being stared at by something.
Conan raised his head and glanced around vigilantly, but did not notice any prying eyes.
He thought for a moment and felt that he understood: he was in the light, and the "adult" behind the woman in black was in the dark. At this moment, all his thoughts and speculations might be under the control of "that adult".
"He must be a very confident guy who treats human minds as toys. He deliberately exposed himself in front of me, perhaps because he thought things were too boring and wanted to find an opponent who could compete with him in terms of brainpower."
Conan muttered, secretly cheering himself up in his heart: "I am obviously at a disadvantage now, but this does not mean that I have no chance. The opponent that cannot be sensed is the most terrifying, and now, at least I know that such a person exists - even if there is only a trace of clues, I will definitely catch it, and then pull out the bastard hiding behind the scenes and hand him over to the law for punishment!"
…
When a first grader clenched his fist and competed with himself.
Next to them, the high school detective and the police were still harmoniously discussing the case at hand.
Sheriff Anna received some new information about the person who fell from the building: "There's news from the hospital. Dai Xiao... Xiao... uh, I mean the person who fell from the building whose name is hard to pronounce. After the doctor's treatment, he woke up from his coma and was able to answer some simple questions.
"But when we asked him about the fall, he said he was drunk and had no memory of how he fell. As for his enemies, he said he was a loser in every aspect of life and didn't even dare to quarrel with others. At most, he would sit in a corner and drink alone, so he had never made enemies with anyone. Unless someone unilaterally disliked him, but in that case, he had no idea."
After reading the news, Sheriff Anna sighed, "Maybe he was just unlucky and met a random killer. Alas, cases that randomly select victims are the hardest to solve... Fortunately, he at least told us where he drank. Now that it's not long ago, I'll ask someone to go to the store to ask, maybe there will be some results."
"Let's go down first. There seem to be no more clues here." Before Jiang Xia left, he stood beside the railing and glanced down casually.
Although this case was dangerous, no one was killed. After the police collected evidence, the police car downstairs drove away quickly, and the onlookers gradually dispersed. The pedestrians on the street became scattered again, returning to their previous appearance.
Jiang Xia's eyes swept over the pedestrians and finally stopped at two people who were talking. He quickly retracted his gaze and turned to go downstairs.
…
"Haha, look! It's right here. I remember it very clearly."
Downstairs, Xiao Songjun, who had just been nearly killed, looked down at the street and quickly found the spot where he was almost hit. He pointed to that street and asked his friend to look: "Although I didn't see what was happening above my head at the time, I heard from other passers-by and the police that I was almost crushed into a meat pie!"
When his friend heard him talking about this matter of life and death in a cheerful tone, he didn't know whether he should laugh or not, so he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, okay, I know you're unlucky."
"Mr. Komatsu is very optimistic." Jiang Xia turned the corner and joined their conversation smoothly.
Xiao Songjun raised his head and saw Jiang Xia. He smiled warmly, "Oh, it's you! I heard that the ball you kicked saved my life. Haha, thank you so much."
Conan heard their conversation and came back to his senses. His eyes passed over Komatsu Jun, who looked nothing like a member of the organization, and fell on the friend next to him: "Komatsu-san, who is this?"
Komatsu Jun actually didn't see clearly who kicked the ball before, so he didn't know that Conan was his savior.
But he did not ignore Conan's question just because he was a child. He quickly patted his friend and introduced him enthusiastically:
"His name is Xue Gu Dajie. He is my friend and a winner in life who is completely opposite to me."
Xue Gu Dajie smiled and shook his head: "Okay, don't just talk about me, let's talk about how to settle the life-saving grace between you two - I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
He might have something to do, or he might not want to have anything to do with a stranger, so he left quickly without talking much.
Jiang Xia looked at his friend's back. When he saw him walking away, he turned around and asked Xiao Songjun, "Did you and your friend agree to meet here?"
Xiao Songjun waved his hand and said, "He happened to be nearby for something. He heard a commotion here just now, so he came over to take a look. Haha, he certainly didn't expect that one of the main characters causing the commotion was me."
Speaking of this friend, Komatsu Jun seemed very proud and talked endlessly: "Xue Gu's father is the chairman of a company, but he is not a second-generation who just sits back and eats his parents. He is concise, has excellent motor nerves, can do everything well, and is very confident. I heard that he has never encountered any setbacks in his life... It's really enviable."
