Chapter 1992 2000 [George + Sunglasses = Akai]
One minute later.
Maya Hashimoto's phone vibrated.
He hid in the corner of the coffee shop and furtively took out his mobile phone. He saw that it was an email from the police, asking him to go to the cinema to assist in the investigation.
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
He was stunned for a second. His first reaction was that Jiang Xia had just seen him. Then he thought, "No! If that was the case, it should be Jiang Xia who contacted me. And now the police are looking for me... Could it be because I was the last contact of the deceased?"
Maya Hashimoto's face changed, and she thought to herself that she was unlucky: email is actually a relatively safe way to communicate, and it is not easy to leak. It is also very troublesome to restore it after it is shredded.
Shredding incoming and outgoing mail is a method favored by members of the organization. People who often deal with the organization often have empty mailboxes, but now... the dead real estate agent obviously did not have this awareness.
——I think all his emails are openly kept and can be seen by just flipping through his phone.
"These people outside are too lax in vigilance." Hashimoto Maya suddenly felt helpless as if she had encountered a stupid teammate. "But it may also be that the people I dealt with before were too sneaky, so it's hard to adapt to this kind of partner all of a sudden... Is this the life of an ordinary citizen?"
After being in the organization for too long, my common sense has become somewhat different from others.
And if he had known that it would be discovered so soon, he would not have left the theater just now. As for now... of course he had to go there. After all, the land he bought was to be there for a long time, and it was a formal transaction, so when contacting the agent, Hashimoto Maya used her real name.
This also led to problems for the intermediary, and he couldn't run away.
"But don't be nervous, it shouldn't be a big problem." Hashimoto Maya walked towards the theater hesitantly, and comforted herself in her heart, "The character of the real estate agent offended a lot of people. Among these people, my transaction with him has not yet started, and my words have always been patient and polite, which is equivalent to no contradiction with him.
"So I had no motive to kill him and I couldn't be the murderer. It was just that the time I contacted him was too special, so the police wanted me to be a witness and provide clues. That's right, this time I'm just a witness."
Maya Hashimoto took a deep breath, prepared herself mentally, and calmly walked into the theater.
…
In the cinema.
Inspector Megure's expression was a little serious - mainly because if Hashimoto Maya was really an outlaw, then his purpose in approaching Jiang Xia was very scary. Maybe he was planning to seek revenge on Jiang Xia for one of his criminal brothers. After all, birds of a feather flock together. According to his experience as an old policeman, these cunning criminals who are good at disguise often catch a whole nest of them.
However, what I didn't expect was that after the email was sent, the other party did not pretend not to see it or resist arrest, but quickly responded proactively, saying that he was nearby and would come over immediately.
This made Inspector Megure scratch his head: "He's quite cooperative. Am I overthinking it?"
Jiang Xia: "I also think that Mr. Hashimoto doesn't look like a criminal. There may be some misunderstanding. But in the end, everything depends on the evidence. I hope he can successfully clear himself of suspicion."
A group of people were chatting casually, and the atmosphere was not too tense because of the cooperation expressed in Hashimoto Maya's reply.
Haibara Ai also bit the straw and looked at the door absent-mindedly.
After looking for an unknown amount of time, the door suddenly opened and a man wearing a knitted hat and sunglasses walked in.
Huiyuan Ai's eyes fell on that person's face, and her pupils trembled for a moment: "Red...!"
Akai Shuichi?! It's actually him!
She grabbed her hood and quietly pulled it down, trying to cover her face. At the same time, she shrank behind Jiang Xia, trying to reduce her presence.
Just now she heard Jiang Xia briefly talk about her experience of meeting this "Hashimoto Maya". Then she realized that she had actually seen this person before - this was the heroic co-pilot, Mr. George, who worked closely with Jiang Xia on the plane from London to Tokyo.
...But I don’t know why she changed her name to Hashimoto Maya.
So Haibara Ai had originally put her mind at ease. But who knew that when she looked at the door...
This face, this height, this hat, no matter how you look at it, it's Shuichi Akai himself! Although he wore sunglasses and dyed his hair to cover it up, it couldn't be hidden from the eyes of those who know him.
After sensing it more carefully, as the tall man in black wearing a knitted hat walked in, there seemed to be a faint breath of organization coming from the door - could it be that Shuichi Akai disguised himself as someone else and secretly approached Jiang Xia?
When Haibara Ai became stiff as a statue.
Next to her, Conan keenly noticed her movements. He was startled and asked in a low voice, "Do you know him?"
He has not forgotten that Haibara Ai is a cadre who defected from the Black Organization. Conan has actually been suspicious of Hashimoto Maya for a long time, but he has always been a little unsure. But if Haibara Ai can recognize her...
"But you have met him, haven't you?" Conan suddenly remembered, and asked in a low voice, "Your reaction last time didn't seem so big. Did you suddenly remember something? - For example, when he was in the organization, did he do something unscrupulous and you happened to run into him?"
There were adults all around, and no one cared about the nervousness and unusual movements of the two fake kids.
Their attention was still focused on the new suspect.
Jiang Xia was stunned when he saw Hashimoto Maya: "Mr. Hashimoto, your hat and sunglasses...?"
Hashimoto Maya touched the hat on his head. He knew that wearing a knitted hat in such a cold weather would make him look suspicious.
But what can he do? Uzo asked him to wear it when fishing, so could he just throw away the hat?
But of course he couldn't tell her this reason. Fortunately, when Wuzo's secretary gave him the hat, she seemed to have given him an excuse to cover it up.
Hashimoto Maya copied what he said, and he smiled eagerly: "I am planning to become a detective. I know a little bit about medicine, and if I encounter an emergency again, I may have to be the first to check the condition of the victim. It would be bad if I accidentally dropped my hair at the scene, so I bought a hat so I can carry it."
Conan and Inspector Megure looked over at the same time with suspicion: Who wears a hat to prepare for "emergencies" that don't happen often? The reason why an emergency is called an emergency is because it is sudden and rare.
...But it is possible that it is used to prevent hair loss - after all, criminals will avoid dropping their hair at the scene, as this may become irrefutable evidence that exposes their identities.
