Chapter 2466 2478 [Where's the ice cream? ]
After entrusting the matter to the hardworking Professor Agasa, Conan glanced at his mobile phone, frowned and looked puzzled.
"Just now, Ayumi's call only rang once before she hung up. She didn't even answer my call back." Conan felt something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. "Could something have happened... Was she in a car accident? Was she kidnapped? Did she meet a murderer and was being hunted down to silence him?"
Dr. Agasa originally wanted to say that it was not the case, but just as he opened his mouth, he thought of the bad luck of the three children and changed his tone: "Uh... how about going over to take a look? I remember they went to the park to play."
"Yeah." Conan didn't dare to delay, picked up the skateboard, went out and headed straight for the park.
…
Conan rushed to the place, but he didn't see the three children. However, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Conan?" A motorcycle stopped beside him. Jiang Xia, who was passing by, took off his helmet and looked at him with interest. "You look a little anxious. What happened?"
Conan briefly talked about the strange phone call from Yoshida Ayumi: "I'm worried that they are involved in another case. Those three guys are really prone to getting into trouble..."
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and patted his back seat: "Get in, I'll take you around the neighborhood, and you can use your intuition to show me the way."
On the smooth roads in the city, motorcycles do seem to be more convenient than skateboards.
Conan accepted the kindness from his neighbor, picked up his skateboard and jumped into Jiang Xia's car. He looked around and hesitantly pointed in a direction: "Let's go over there first. I remember there is a swing in the northwest corner. Those kids usually like to play there. Maybe we can find some clues."
Of course Jiang Xia would not refute. He put his helmet back on, stepped on the accelerator, and the motorcycle roared over there.
Conan leaned back and was almost thrown out of the car. He grabbed Jiang Xia's clothes and said, "You are speeding! It's daytime now!"
Jiang Xia's voice floated faintly amid the roar: "Slower than the speed you were riding the skateboard just now."
Conan choked: "Skateboard... Skateboard is not a car, how can it be considered speeding..."
His voice dropped guiltily.
Then, a few dozen seconds later, he raised his voice again in surprise: "Wait!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xia had already slammed the brakes on the car.
——There was a cordon on the street ahead. Although the ground there had been cleared, there were still some scattered debris and scorch marks.
Jiang Xia parked the car on the side of the road. Before the motorcycle came to a complete stop, Conan jumped out and ran over quickly.
He slipped through the cordon and asked the busy policeman on the roadside: "Uncle police, what happened here?"
"Little boy, don't cross that line!" The policeman quickly arrested him and warned him seriously, "Don't make trouble, uncle is working."
Having said that, he turned around and went back to clean up the scene.
Conan: “…”
He had no choice but to turn around and wait for Jiang Xia, waiting for this little friend to come and scan his face.
However, Jiang Xia was staring at the messy ground, wondering what he was thinking. After a while, he slowly squatted down.
Conan: “?!”
He was at a loss for a moment, then suddenly slapped his head: I almost forgot, it looks like a car accident here. And Jiang Xia didn't seem to like this kind of scene...
Conan trotted over to see what was going on, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Jiang Xia standing up again - upon closer inspection, the famous detective's expression was not only not frightened, but rather revealed a hint of interest.
Conan: “?”
He asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly squat down just now?"
Jiang Xia looked at the ball of vanilla ice cream and the murderous aura mixed with the smell of cigarettes in his hand: "Tie your shoelaces."
Conan: “…”
Jiang Xia patted his head in relief, then walked past the fake elementary school student and came to the nearby policeman. He spoke skillfully, "You look familiar. Are you Officer Narita from the First Investigation Division?"
The policeman turned around in confusion and saw the face of the person who spoke. He exclaimed in surprise: "Jiang Xia!"... It seems that he can go off work after dealing with the scene here!
The detective on the other side nodded and asked the question he expected: "What happened here?"
The young policeman reported earnestly: "A dozen minutes ago, there was a car accident here - a speeding motorcycle collided with a car at a corner, and was knocked away and hit another passing car.
"The motorcyclist died instantly, and then..."
The policeman glanced at the reporters and onlookers outside the cordon and lowered his voice cautiously: "Then we found a large amount of cash and a letter in the bag he was carrying. Judging from the content of the letter and the motorcycle rider's attire, the driver who died on the spot was most likely a kidnapper."
Jiang Xia looked at the nearby alleys and thought: "This kind of location is indeed prone to car accidents, but we can't rule out the possibility that someone is deliberately killing people to silence them - where are the drivers of the two cars involved in the accident?"
The young police officer showed admiration on his face. He was indeed a famous detective who had an idea so quickly. He said quickly, "They were taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department by Inspector Megure. They should be taking statements now."
Jiang Xia nodded: "I'll go take a look."
He returned to the roadside and got on his motorcycle. Just as he stepped on the accelerator, a voice rang out from behind him: "Wait for me!"
Jiang Xia was startled: "..."
I almost forgot, there is someone behind me.
When drinking water, one should remember the well digger. He turned around and returned to the original place: "Get in the car."
Conan quickly jumped into the car: "..." Is this an illusion? I always feel that Jiang Xia was not affected by the car accident today, and his mobility seems to be stronger than usual...
"No, strictly speaking this is also an influence." Conan corrected himself in his mind, "It's just that Jiang Xia has a strong ability to adjust himself, and successfully turned negative emotions into motivation, which turned it into a good influence."
——Compared to the way he used to be when he would go offline after seeing a car accident or an explosion, his neighbor’s mental state seemed to have improved significantly without him noticing.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, and rode a high-speed motorcycle with Jiang Xia all the way to the Metropolitan Police Department.
…
"Brother Jiang Xia?"
Inspector Megure didn't expect such a surprise: "Why are you here?"
Jiang Xia greeted him and said, "I just happened to pass by the car accident scene and heard from the police there that you were kidnapped, so I came to take a look."
As he spoke, his eyes swept around him, quickly taking in everything.
Then the psychic discovered with a little confusion: there was no owner of the murderous aura of cigarette smoke and the murderous aura of vanilla ice cream nearby.
…There were three familiar young figures in the corner. At this moment, they were huddled together, trembling, and looking particularly guilty.
