Chapter 2665 2677 [Tracking] Ask for monthly ticket (づど)
Jiang Xia glanced over there and said, "Maybe he didn't catch any fish, so he wanted to come here to relieve his sorrow."
Conan: "..." You are very good at thinking the best of others... Alas, that's why people like Vodka Toru Amuro and Maya Hashimoto can arrogantly hang around you.
…So where did Maya Hashimoto go?
The more Conan thought about it, the more he couldn't help frowning. He tiptoed towards the door, intending to go out and look for it.
But at this moment, a hand grabbed his collar and carried him back to the box.
"Just now I felt like someone was following me." Jiang Xia said, "Although it may be just along the way, but you are a weak kid, it's best not to run around alone at this time."
"How could you..." Conan was surprised at first, but then he came to his senses: That's right, I can detect the stalker, how could Jiang Xia not notice it?
But now is not the time to think about these things, he has to find Hashimoto Ma as soon as possible...
Before he could even walk out the door, Conan was suddenly grabbed by a pair of iron-like hands.
"Really? Didn't you hear what Jiang Xia just said?" Mao Lilan was very conscious of being a guardian. When she heard Jiang Xia say that there was danger outside, she immediately grabbed Conan, who liked to fly solo, and said, "Stay here honestly and don't run around!"
Conan: “…”
Suzuki Sonoko was a little excited: "Following? Is he coming for us? What is his purpose? What does he want to do to us? - Let's catch him and send him to the police station!"
Jiang Xia shook his head and sighed: "If you just follow and do nothing else, the police won't handle it even if they come."
After a pause, recalling some FBI conversations, Jiang Xia smoothly borrowed the other party's guess: "And on the bright side, maybe it was just a fan who wanted to get my autograph but was a little shy - if I just rushed over to grab him, it might not be appropriate."
"That's right." Suzuki Sonoko was deflated after hearing this: I remember that there were indeed many similar things in the past. Especially when Jiang Xia went to school on exam days, from the time he went to school to the time he got home from school, there would always be all kinds of people jumping out from every corner to ask him for business cards, and some even disguised themselves and asked for them several times a day, as if they wanted to play some kind of business card stamp collection. Maybe it would be the same today.
"Come to think of it, I remember when we entered the KTV, Mr. Hashimoto was the last one to walk in." Mao Lilan also liked to think the best of people. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, "What do you think, is it possible that Mr. Hashimoto also noticed this matter, and in order not to embarrass Jiang Xia, he ran out alone to find that person to deal with it?"
Conan: "..." There is no such possibility. Hashimoto Maya is not such a selfless good person... Come to think of it, how come you were deceived by him!
…
The elementary school detective was unwilling, but he finally succumbed to the absolute power.
Afterwards, based on the principle that they might as well have some free time, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko ordered a few songs and started singing.
"We can't go on like this." Conan has never been a fake kid who gives up easily. The more obstacles he encounters, the more motivated he becomes. He secretly clenched his fists in his heart, "We must sneak out and see what that guy is doing. Once Xiaolan lets down her guard, I'll immediately... hm?"
Just as I was thinking of a plan to compete with my classmates in a battle of wits and courage, suddenly, the door handle creaked again and was turned open from the outside.
Several people looked up in surprise and saw Hashimoto Maya walking in with a haggard face and strange expression.
"What's with that expression? You look like you're exhausted." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand in front of his eyes, and at the same time couldn't help wondering: Could it be that they were thinking too much, and in fact Hashimoto Maya didn't do anything just now, and just went to the toilet because of a stomachache?
Hashimoto Maya heard their voices and came back to her senses: "Nothing, um... have you finished singing?"
"Not yet. Do you want to sing?" Suzuki Sonoko felt that she had misunderstood this detective assistant, so her attitude improved slightly. She pointed to the singing stage and said, "Go and order a few songs. I'll help you cut in line and put them in front."
"No thanks." Maya Hashimoto had no mood to sing. He waved his hands repeatedly, trying to refuse.
And at this moment, suddenly, a scream rang out in the corridor.
“?!”
This familiar sound was like a signal gun, suddenly igniting everyone's instinctive reaction.
——Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki were startled, grabbed their cell phones, and pressed 110 and 119 respectively on the screen.
Jiang Xia and Conan quickly ran to the door, pushed open the box door, and looked towards where the sound came from.
Hashimoto Maya... Hashimoto Maya wanted to pounce behind the sofa, observe secretly and then decide what to do next. However, reason and mission made him grit his teeth, put away his pounce, and trotted to the door behind Jiang Xia.
Looking out, the situation was slightly better than I had imagined.
There was no scary-looking corpse in sight - all I could see was a receptionist with a terrified face.
At this moment, the receptionist was standing frozen at the door of a private room, staring blankly inside, muttering, "How...how could this happen!"
…It’s already clear what to do next.
Jiang Xia came to the side of the stunned receptionist, looked past him into the box, and saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground with blood all over his head.
The man's chest had long since stopped moving, and his bloodstained upper body was covered with a coat. His head was tucked into the coat like a turtle, and it didn't look like he accidentally slipped and hit his head, but was clearly murdered.
After looking at the deceased from head to toe and seeing the man's features clearly, Conan was stunned: "Isn't this the man who followed us just now!"
Jiang Xia sighed, turned around and looked at the two high school girls who didn't dare to come over and just stood on tiptoe to look from afar: "Call the police. Also, remember to call an ambulance."
——Even though the ghosts have been separated and the people are definitely beyond saving, it doesn't matter whether the ambulance comes or not. But as a detective, I still have to follow the procedures.
…
Although the rest of the investigation can be handed over to the police, there is one child who simply cannot control his hands.
Conan first trotted into the box, wanting to see if the stalker could be saved.
After coming to a negative answer, he stood up regretfully, left the bloody box, and then began to observe the environmental layout of this KTV.
At the same time, Conan stared at Hashimoto Maya quietly, thinking about the possibility of this guy committing the crime - after all, now, from every angle, Hashimoto Maya is the number one suspect in his mind.
Bathed in that gaze, Hashimoto Maya felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't help but regret secretly.
"It's just an ugly song, why don't you just endure it and listen to it? Why do I have to run away and hide?"
