Chapter 1820 1827 [Where are the Irish? ]
Conan also felt that something was wrong: "There was a typhoon these days, and it was difficult for ships to land on the island. You must not have arrived much later than us, or even landed on the island before us. Why have you been hiding here for such a long time?"
Hashimoto Maya looked down at Kurosawa Kazuma, and for a moment she wanted to put the blame on this colleague, saying that she was kidnapped or something... Unfortunately, he was already in the observation period, and if he sent the organization members to the police station at this time, he would not have a good ending.
Hashimoto Maya had to rack her brains to come up with an excuse: "Actually... well, to be honest, I'm here to recuperate."
"Cultivation?" Conan looked suspicious. He remembered that this "Mr. George" was with the tall man who called himself "Edward", and Edward had pretended to be a bodyguard of a party hall in the UK not long ago. Considering all the signs, he was obviously a suspicious person.
By analogy, the secret of Mr. George in front of him was probably not small. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a person who is so fragile that he needs to go to the island to cultivate himself after a minor accident.
Hashimoto Maya faced his gaze and sighed, "It was just an ordinary flight, but who knew there would be a murder, a pilot accident, a malfunction of the autopilot system, a lightning strike, a fuel tank leak... Even the airport we were going to land at was bombed, so we had to choose another place to land. In the end, the plane almost plunged into the sea..."
Kurosawa Hema was originally full of anger, but as he listened, he could not help but remain silent: "..." Is this kid so unlucky that he has to experience multiple types of air crashes in one trip?
Conan also choked. When he was on the plane before, he didn't think anything of it, because he believed that all difficulties could be solved in the end, and things did end successfully in the end.
But now, after being summarized by Hashimoto Maya, what happened that day sounds... like it was indeed a bit serious?
Hashimoto Maya caught a glimpse of their changes and immediately felt that it was effective. She continued to sigh, "And I was even sitting in the cockpit, experiencing all this up close. After I went back that day, I started to suffer from insomnia. I couldn't sleep all night long. Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw scenes of various planes exploding. So later, when a friend suggested that I go to an island to relax and recuperate, I agreed without thinking too much, hoping that it would be of some effect."
"As for why I was hiding..." Hashimoto Maya burned her brain cells, "In fact, when you came to the island, I recognized you from afar. At that moment, the scene on the plane that day suddenly flashed through my mind. It was so uncomfortable that I asked my companions to keep my existence a secret and did not contact you immediately. Later, although I gradually accepted the fact that you were also on the island, I suddenly heard that a murder had occurred. I was afraid of being regarded as a suspect, so I dared not go out."
Kurosawa Kazuma: "..." This guy is really good at making up stories! He is completely different from the timid and honest person he was before. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. I can't believe a word he says in the future!
Conan: "..." Wait, what do you mean you feel uncomfortable as soon as you recognize us? What does that plane crash have to do with us students? Aren't we all victims? Even if you really have PTSD because of it, you shouldn't be triggered by us... Excuse, this must be an excuse.
Jiang Xia seemed to accept this statement, with a sympathetic look on his face: "It is indeed difficult for people who have just come into contact with a case or accident to get out of such a scary scene. But don't worry, you won't be afraid of it anymore after seeing it more often."
"...Ah, thank you." Hashimoto Maya could tell that this kind detective was comforting her, but she always felt that this comfort sounded unlucky.
At this time, Jiang Xia looked down at his watch and said, "I believe you are not the murderer, at least not the 'Phantom' who attacked Dr. Shinde and then jumped into the sea from the corridor. So now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you should go back to the hotel together and leave together on the ship tomorrow - I suspect the murderer is not dead yet, and it will be safer for us to stay together."
Hashimoto Maya: "..." No, no, no, it's more unsafe with more people. After all, it is well known that Uzo is the best at using people.
He wanted to refuse loudly like this.
But then he thought again, his suspicion had not been cleared in the first place. And if this case was really related to Wu Zuo, Wu Zuo must have noticed him by now... It would be better to pretend to be an ordinary person who followed orders. With the famous detective Jiang Xia around, he would at least not be wrongly accused of being the murderer and then lose his life inexplicably.
In the end, Maya Hashimoto nodded with difficulty and agreed to the proposal.
Then he stood up and picked up Kurosawa and Ma from the ground, acting like good brothers: "I've already told you that I'm not the murderer, but you still don't believe me. Is our friendship so fragile? Don't be impulsive in the future."
Kurosawa and Ma repeated in their minds several times, "This is all the organization's mission," and barely suppressed the sadness of losing their partner.
The two of them simply packed up their personal belongings and followed Jiang Xia to the old hotel.
…
The rustling sound of heavy rain can effectively cover up the sound of conversation.
The two members of the organization walked slowly and quietly, keeping a safe distance from the detective in front.
Hashimoto Maya glanced at Kurosawa Kazuma who had calmed down and said, "Do you believe now that I am not the murderer?"
Kurosawa Hema snorted coldly and nodded.
"..." Hashimoto Maya, "The reasons Jiang Xia and I gave are similar. Why don't you listen to me but believe him?"
Kurosawa and Ma glanced at him and ignored him: Can the reputation of a famous detective be the same as that of an organization member? Besides, he is a professional detective, so of course we should listen to the detective's opinion.
Of course, more importantly... he discovered with grief and anger that he couldn't beat this guy who looked somewhat cultured.
Kurosawa Kazuma: "..." At times like this, I really miss my gun. If I had held a gun instead of a stick, with a few bangs, the island would have been cleared.
However, he had obtained the gun with great difficulty from other channels, but his superior strictly forbade him to carry it after hearing about it... What is that mysterious superior doing?
Kurosawa and Ma frowned, feeling that something was increasingly wrong with this mission.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia, who was walking in front, suddenly turned his head.
He seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Hashimoto Maya, "By the way, where is Mr. Edward? He was also in the cockpit at the time. Why didn't he come out with you to recuperate?"
When Jinpei Matsuda heard this question, he floated over Jiang Xia's shoulder, paying close attention to the answer. The murderous aura of Irish cigarettes made it impossible for him not to pay attention to this cadre.
