Chapter 2579 2591 [Leader] Ask for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
Mr. Fuyuki packed the cash and, accompanied by the police, anxiously waited for the murderer's contact.
On the other side, Conan finally arrived at the place - this is a residential area near the suburbs, with many apartments. He looked for the houses one by one according to the house numbers, and his eyes quickly fixed on one of them.
Not long after, the fake elementary school student used his innocent face to trick the door open.
He looked at the young couple who lived here and asked, "Excuse me, were you also at the scene of the murderer falling off the cliff yesterday? I heard that there was another witness at the bottom of the cliff, but when the police arrived, that person had disappeared. Is this true?"
The couple looked at each other, somewhat surprised by the child's question. However, they had just encountered a hot case yesterday, and at this moment, they were in the most eager to share. Seeing someone actively asking, they did not hide it and said happily: "Of course it's true!"
"We were enjoying the scenery and when we looked around, we accidentally saw a man standing by the stream in the canyon below, fishing. At that time, I thought this was a great place and I would bring fishing gear here next time."
"Then the knife-wielding murderer lost his footing and fell. The noise was so loud that we could hear it from above. I thought the people below must have seen it more clearly. But when we got down, the fisherman had disappeared."
The young husband shook his head. "He probably ran away out of fear. Really, we are both Tokyo citizens. How can we run away? We should at least provide some clues to the police."
"Fishing down there?" Conan asked hopefully. "Fishermen often appear in fixed places. This shouldn't be his first time there. Do you know who he is and where he lives?"
The young couple shook their heads in embarrassment: "Although it may not be his first time going, it is for us!"
Conan: “…”
Just as I was feeling a little disappointed, a voice came from behind me: "As for that fisherman, I remember he is an employee of Sijichuan Hospital."
Conan was startled and looked back, only to see an elderly couple.
The two were also tourists who witnessed the cliff fall yesterday. The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "I was hospitalized in Shikigawa Hospital before and had dealings with him. His name is Otosaka, and he is a very nice person. He helped me a lot at that time."
Conan thought for a moment: "Shikigawa Hospital."
…
Located in a spacious hospital in the suburbs.
Vodka ate the hospital meal without any taste, and his left eyelid kept twitching.
"I always have a bad feeling." Vodka sighed, "But strictly speaking, ever since I left Brother Gin and started to act alone, I have had this feeling... I should just eat well first, and hide for one day at a time. We can think about the future later."
Having said that, his desire to survive would not allow him to just lie down.
After eating a few bites, Vodka stared at the food in his hand for a moment, and finally stood up. He walked to the window and looked around vigilantly.
Originally it was just a formality to reassure himself, but the next moment, Vodka's gaze suddenly paused and fell on the hospital entrance.
——A young figure carrying a skateboard looked around for a moment, then trotted in stealthily.
Although they were some distance apart, Vodka was able to recognize the man immediately because of the well-dressed suit, the blood-red bow tie on the collar of the suit, and the lenses that reflected light from time to time...
"It's that little bastard next to Wu Zuo!" His chopsticks froze, and the food in his mouth suddenly tasted even less good. "What does this guy want to do?!"
…
Not long after Conan sneaked into the hospital, he couldn't help frowning: He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt like someone was watching him.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, a long shadow was cast behind me.
"!" Conan looked back vigilantly, but only saw a staff member in a suit.
The receptionist looked him up and asked in confusion, "Little boy, who are you with? Where are your parents?"
"Ah, I..." Conan thought, "I'm here to find Uncle Otosaka!"
The receptionist suddenly realized that this was the child of an acquaintance of Otosaka's family: "Come with me, I'll take you to find him - this place is a bit remote, don't run around alone next time."
Conan made a cute sound that only elementary school students could make and nodded in agreement: "Yes!"
The two people went to the parking lot one after the other.
Vodka watched this scene from afar and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "..."Children are so useful. No wonder Holmes set up such a Baker Street Guerrilla. No wonder Uzo followed suit and got so many children as his minions.
"You are still young and don't learn your lesson." Vodka's scalp tingled when he thought that these people might be the future of the organization. "Especially this kid with glasses. Seeing him is like seeing Uzo quietly multiplying."
…
Under the fearful gaze of the organization's cadres, Conan followed the beautiful receptionist through the hospital and met Otosaka Jinichi.
"Looking for me?" Otosaka Jinyi looked down at Conan, a little confused, "But I don't know this kid."
The receptionist was startled: "Then..."
Conan didn't want to be taken away as a lost child, so he quickly said to Otosaka Jin: "Actually, it was brother Jiang Xia who asked me to come find you - you know Jiang Xia, the famous high school detective."
"Ah!" The receptionist's eyes lit up. "Of course I know, kid, do you know Jiang Xia?"
Conan nodded and handed her the latest business card he had snatched from Jiang Xia.
After sending the happy employee away, he turned to look at Otosaka Jin'ichi, whose face changed slightly, and asked directly: "Did you go fishing in the Shikigawa Canyon yesterday? There was a cliff fall there, did you see it?"
Otosaka Jin smiled and said, "I did go there, but I have no recollection of the cliff fall you mentioned. If such a thing really happened, it should have happened after I left."
"Is that so?" Conan smiled innocently. "Then I will go back and report to Brother Jiang Xia. Thank you for cooperating with the investigation, uncle!"
Having said that, he turned around and ran away.
Otosaka Jin was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to finish the question so simply. He breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Children are really easy to fool... I don't know what that detective was thinking to send such an assistant."
His voice was picked up by a bug not far away and quietly reached someone's ears.
Vodka looked at him with pity: "..." Ha, naive and stupid props, you know nothing about the cunning of that kid.
He thought about it and switched his eavesdropping position to eavesdrop on the front desk.
Not long after, a familiar child's voice was heard.
——Conan did not leave, but went back to the hospital and found the receptionist again.
