Chapter 172 Kudo Shinichi is going to die?
The fear that had just been engraved into his DNA made Moriya Teiji shudder unconsciously. Before his brain could react, his body had silently changed direction and decisively hid behind Officer Takagi.
Takagi Shigeru looked at the almost disfigured suspect with sympathy and took out the handcuffs.
Moriya Teiji was very cooperative. He not only raised his hands to let him be handcuffed, but also asked him in a low voice when he would leave.
…
Inspector Megure was still dealing with the aftermath of the previous bomb. Although Conan found the cat bag containing the bomb in time, there was not enough time left to defuse it. He could only detonate it in a nearby open space, which attracted many onlookers.
The police were therefore divided into several groups.
At this time, Officer Sato made some progress. She immediately contacted Inspector Megure and briefly reported that the suspect had been captured and that there were still many bombs to be defuse.
After hanging up the phone, Officer Sato left a few police officers to deal with the scene, while the others took the bomber and Jiang Xia and others to the police station.
Before getting in the car, Sato Miwako suddenly remembered something. She looked at the sun in the sky in confusion, then looked at Jiang Xia: "I remember you seem to be allergic to sunlight?"
"..." Jiang Xia remembered his excuse for his previous failed infiltration and said calmly, "Seasonal."
Officer Sato was skeptical: "...Oh."
…
What Moriya Teiji drew on the blueprint were indeed all the bombs he had installed, and he did not hide anything.
In fact, at the beginning, Teiji Moriya also tried to draw randomly.
But Jiang Xia remembered the location of some of the bombs - it was also Moriya Teiji's bad luck that he drew a fake one right at the beginning, and Jiang Xia saw through it...
In short, after several attempts and being beaten several times, Moriya Teiji completely gave up resisting - based on the gradually increasing force, he suspected that if he continued to try, he might die.
While feeling terrified, Moriya Teiji also realized for the first time so deeply why the media wanted to hype Jiang Xia up as a genius in reasoning - he now firmly believed that this was not a "packaged character setting" but the truth!
Otherwise, how could Jiang Xia accurately find out where he had done something every time... It's terrible, this group of high school detectives are terrible.
…
With the drawings provided by Teiji Moriya, the bomb was successfully dismantled.
Jiang Xia calculated the time and energy he had spent, and then pinched the fresh murderous aura that had just been knocked down. He felt that he had not lost out, and his mentality returned to peace.
…
After discovering that Dr. Agasa's house could also trigger cases, Jiang Xia went there more frequently than before. Sometimes he would just eat at the doctor's house so that he could wash the lunch box less often.
Perhaps because he noticed that the meals at the doctor's house were becoming more and more sumptuous, Conan came to eat more and more often.
Just like that, not long after, Jiang Xia found that his new measures were effective.
——Just after finishing his meal and while watching Dr. Agasa’s unfinished invention, Conan received a phone call.
The call was from Hattori Heiji.
…
Hattori Heiji and Conan don't come into contact very often, but the two of them are naturally compatible. In addition, an unnamed external pressure source also makes the two high school detectives develop a brotherly bond, and their relationship progresses faster.
This time, Hattori Heiji suddenly called Conan because he dreamed that Kudo Shinichi was dead during his nap. In the dream, while Kudo Shinichi was chasing the murderer, he was stabbed by the murderer and died.
This is sad enough, but what is even more terrifying is that in the sequel, Jiang Xia in the dream couldn't find Kudo Shinichi, so she transferred to Osaka in disappointment, solving cases next to Hattori Heiji every day...
Hattori Heiji woke up in a cold sweat.
Then he picked up the phone without thinking and dialed Kudo Shinichi - Kudo! Don't die! !
…………
From picking up the phone to dialing, this series of actions were completed while Hattori Heiji was in a sleepy state.
When Conan answered the phone, Hattori Heiji had already sobered up a little.
He paused for a moment, feeling embarrassed to say something like "I dreamed that you died, so I called to verify it." He had to skip the reason and just said, "Are you free recently? Come to Osaka for a visit."
Conan was very confused when he heard this: "You are a high school student, and you want to play with me, a primary school student? That's too weird. You might as well take a roundabout way and invite Jiang Xia."
He remembered Jiang Xia, and seemed to be quite interested in Hattori Heiji...
Unexpectedly, on the other end of the phone, Hattori Heiji reacted strongly: "I won't!"
Conan: “…”
He wordlessly moved the phone away and rubbed his ears that were shaken. He felt that Hattori Heiji was overthinking: "You invited us to play, not to solve a case. Why are you hiding from Jiang Xia?"
Hattori Heiji's tone was a little bitter: "You make it sound as if I came to Tokyo specifically to ask you to solve the cases the first two times - murders keep coming one after another, even serial murders have come out..."
…………
Hattori Heiji has always believed that his event-related physique is very special.
However, it was not until he met Jiang Xia that he realized there were people out there - and unlike him, Jiang Xia encountered almost all murder cases, while he only encountered one case out of several...
After listening to what Hattori Heiji said, Conan fell into deep thought: "..." Indeed.
The two people thought of Jiang Xia through the microphone and fell into a strange silence at the same time.
After a moment, Hattori Heiji sighed:
"How about this, aren't you staying at Maori Kogoro's house? Then I'll go invite Maori. He's a detective after all, so we can have common topics. And that uncle has a lot of hobbies, so it shouldn't be difficult to invite him. That way, you can come along too."
Conan: "...Yeah."
He found that Hattori Heiji seemed to be extremely obsessed with "inviting Kudo Shinichi to Osaka".
Conan: "..." Could it be that Hattori encountered a complicated case that he couldn't solve by himself, but was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he wanted to find his companions to discuss it?
Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but feel excited.
A difficult case.
...A difficult case in which Jiang Xia was not involved.
...I want to go!
…………
When Conan was making a phone call, as usual, there was a dedicated little white dog on his shoulder.
Jiang Xia listened to their phone call silently, pretending not to know about it, and did not offer to go with them.
——What if he insists on going, causing Hattori Heiji to mistakenly believe that "Kudo tipped off Jiang Xia", and even Conan won't invite him again in the future...that would not be good.
However, this does not mean that Jiang Xia will give up going to Osaka to play with Hattori Heiji.
Osaka is a tourist destination, and its most famous attractions are limited. It is reasonable that he happened to travel to Osaka and happened to meet Hattori Heiji and his group who were showing Conan around Osaka.
