Chapter 2387 2399 [On the Edge of Arrest]
For Judy, who has been through a lot recently, the murders that suddenly happened around her can no longer cause much waves in her heart.
…It was supposed to be like this.
But in reality, the moment she saw it clearly, Judy's heart still skipped a beat.
——When the strange corpse fell to the ground, one hand was holding a coffee cup, and the other hand, perhaps because of pain, unconsciously grabbed the trouser leg of his neighbor.
His neighbor...
Judy looked at the tall man wearing a baseball cap with a wisp of black curly hair sticking out from under the brim: "..."
...What are you standing there for? Move aside! At least pull your trouser legs out of the hand of the poisoned man. Otherwise, you look like the murderer who killed that man... Do you want to be taken to the police station as a suspect again? !
As an experienced suspect in the police station, Judy was very disappointed with him.
But the fact proved that even if Akai Shuichi wanted to withdraw, it was probably too late - the scream just now from someone unknown had already successfully attracted the attention of everyone present. If Akai Shuichi pulled out his trouser legs in front of them, he would not only fail to stay out of it, but his calm and rational attitude would make him more suspicious.
Judy pinched her forehead with a headache, trying to calm herself down: "..." Then again, why did Xiuyi change his plan and stay on stage? And...
She suddenly remembered something and turned around to look backstage.
Then I suddenly discovered that there were two more people there.
——Not only Dr. Arata, but also Ran Mouri, who was supposed to be delayed in the hospital by James, came back.
"...What a mess." Judy fiddled with her fluffy skirt in a daze, feeling melancholy. "The plan went very smoothly at the beginning. All the people who should be dragged were dragged away, and I successfully made it to the stage. The right time, right place, and right people, this should have been a very successful test, but now... why did things turn out like this?"
"And that weird male protagonist just now, if he is not 'Dr. Shinde', then who is he??"
…
Everything on the scene is very chaotic, but there are also some things that remain constant.
——Hearing the screams and looking out to see something happening under the stage, Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko instinctively took out their cell phones, and then tacitly one called the police and the other called an ambulance.
In just a few seconds, the operator on the other end understood the situation and said they would rush to the scene as soon as possible.
After shaking hands with someone, the two high school girls hung up the phone, looked at each other blankly for a while, and then they reconnected with their thoughts.
Mao Lilan was a little worried about the condition of the stranger who fell to the ground in the audience, but at the same time, another thing inevitably attracted most of her attention.
Ran Mao Li looked around, trying to find the "black knight male protagonist", but she couldn't see his shadow.
She was suspicious for a moment, then pulled Suzuki Sonoko to a corner and asked quietly, "What happened to the 'leading actor' who just took the stage for Mr. Shinde?"
"You recognized him, didn't you?" Suzuki Sonoko chuckled, hiding her fame and achievements. "Yes, the disappeared guy is back! How about it, isn't this a good surprise?"
Mao Lilan: “…”
I was really surprised, but I was happy...
She smiled, and slowly closed her slender fingers, making a clicking sound.
Kudo Shinichi, who was hiding outside the door and was about to come on stage to explain, said: "..."
"I, I'd better go solve the case first. This is the main job of a detective. Human lives are at stake, and we can't let distractions delay us."
Kudo Shinichi turned around quietly and went to the stage stealthily. At the same time, he missed a certain classmate unprecedentedly: "By the way, where was Jiang Xia at such a critical moment? If he was around, he could have prevented anything from happening and there wouldn't be too many accidents..."
He walked stealthily to the corner and was about to run off the stage, but at this moment, Kudo Shinichi stopped: a woman in a white dress was standing on the stage in front of him.
Kudo Shinichi: "..." Why hasn't she left yet! This guy is so haunting!
Wait, this hair color...
Kudo Shinichi looked at Judy, who had taken off her veil at some point, and his heart skipped a beat: "..." Yes, it was that very suspicious foreign teacher!
Oh no, if this woman is also a member of the organization, then considering his current status as "Kudo Shinichi"...
Kudo Shinichi didn't have time to think about it. He spun around and quickly retreated backstage.
Behind him, Judy narrowed her eyes: "..." Something is wrong, very wrong, there must be something fishy about this guy... I have to find a way to see his face and find out who he is!
With this in mind, she lifted up her skirt, relied on her image as a "cheerful foreigner who loves to make friends", said "Hi~", and chased after him without any hesitation.
Kudo Shinichi heard the clacking sound of high heels behind him, and his hair stood on end. His steps became more and more rapid, and at this moment, the door in front of him creaked, and two high school girls pushed the door open and walked out.
Kudo Shinichi: “?!”
He braked suddenly again, then turned a corner and went into the empty road at the T-junction: "..." No, he couldn't talk to the two classmates, and he couldn't let Judy know that he was very familiar with Xiaolan and Yuanzi, otherwise it would bring them disaster.
Is this the risk that Haibara Ai mentioned earlier? He, he actually didn't take it seriously at first. But...
Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth: But he didn't expose too much just now, even his entire face was not exposed, there is still time to make up for it now!
First of all, I must not be caught by that woman...
The desperate high school student pricked up his ears to listen to the life-threatening footsteps behind him, quickly recalled the terrain of the venue, and began a game of hide-and-seek that risked his life.
…
The weird pursuit in the background has just begun.
The murders in the audience continued.
Akai Shuichi, who was surrounded by the crowd, said: "..."
Although it was not difficult to escape from the siege of this group of ordinary citizens, the disguise on his face was carefully designed by him. If this face became a wanted criminal, he would lose a usable identity and would also be prone to trouble due to their similar appearance.
Instead of that, it would be better to pretend to cooperate first - after all, he did not poison or kill anyone. Even if someone wanted to use this to frame him, he was confident that he could see the flaws and solve the case.
...Having said that, remembering the unpleasant experience he had last time in the police station, Akai Shuichi still walked to the corner and called his boss so that the elderly leader could be mentally prepared in advance.
