Chapter 2701-2713 [No Hope]
Hashimoto Maya looked at Gin's leaving back and was stunned: "..." This, is it passed?
"It seems that Gin is satisfied with my answer." Hashimoto Maya breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had realized something. "That is to say, a sharp detective like Jiang Xia is indeed a great threat to the organization. Even Gin thinks it is a good thing to get rid of him... Alas, poor Jiang Xia, he did nothing wrong, but he became a thorn in the eyes of the organization because of his strong reasoning skills - may God protect him from the evil hands of these cadres."
While drawing a not-so-standard cross on her chest, Maya Hashimoto suddenly turned her head according to her intuition and saw a pair of reflective glasses in the bushes.
——The four-eyed kid was actually peeking at him from a distance.
The two sides looked at each other, and the boy seemed to want to run away, but I don't know what was in his mind, he actually stopped abruptly, and then took the initiative to come forward like a real child.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Wait, why did I say he was “like” a real child—this is obviously a real child, just a little too cunning compared to other children.
When a member of the organization's periphery is fighting a desperate battle with his intuition.
opposite.
Conan didn't expect that Hashimoto Maya was clearly in a daze, but turned her head and looked him in the eye.
He originally wanted to pretend that he saw nothing, let alone the low-key meeting between Hashimoto Maya and Gin. But then he thought again - the more guilty he felt at this time, the more likely he would be suspected by those guys.
His mind raced, and he simply gritted his teeth, pretending to be innocent and naive, and asked Hashimoto Maya: "That uncle looks so amazing, is he really a magician too? Do you know him?"
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Of course not, you are playing dumb again. You clearly...
"Wait. Think about it, Conan shouldn't know Gin." Hashimoto Maya touched his chin and muttered to himself, "Gin's identity is so important, why would Lord Usa tell him to a child who hasn't officially joined the organization?
"Come to think of it, when this kid with glasses saw Gin in the dining car earlier, what was his reaction?"
Maya Hashimoto thought hard and tried to recall... then found that she couldn't remember anything at all.
——He was more surprised than anyone else when he suddenly saw Gin on the train. At that time, his mind was full of the reasons why Gin appeared on this train, the danger this person might bring, and how he would escape if there was any danger... He had no time to observe anything else.
"Forget it, if I can't remember it, then forget it." Hashimoto Maya let go of her mind, "Anyway, what I should do now is very obvious - no matter whether Conan knows Gin or not, he can't hear about Gin from me."
"If I dare to say one more word, this kid will definitely turn around and tell Lord Uzo that I leaked the secret... Haha, in this society, who hasn't been a king of rolls? Don't I know him?"
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya glanced at Conan with a look that saw through everything. Then he ignored the stiff kid and left proudly.
…
The brief episode of the Black Organization did not affect the enthusiastic high school students' rescue of the missing magic leader.
However, after several minutes, they still found nothing.
Seeing that the time predicted by the bomber was getting closer, the terrified train conductor had to step forward and stop everyone from approaching the train, and asked them to wait on the lawn.
Time passed minute by minute, and the hands of the dial finally pointed to the predicted time.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the carriage that was said to be blown away by the bomb, but even though they could hardly hold their breath, the carriage remained silent and there was no movement at all.
"This..." Officer Sato suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Xia, "Is it true, as you said, that the 'puppet master of hell' was also in the car, so he didn't actually install the bomb?"
Just as he finished speaking, "whoosh!" a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.
The two policemen turned around in shock and saw a flare suddenly rising from the carriage, and then exploded into a bunch of rose fireworks in full view of everyone.
Everything was similar to the exploding rose salad on the table, except that this time, the amount of roses used was far greater than before.
A large number of petals fell, following the wind direction, and landed on the crowd waiting for the explosion, like the curtain call or opening of a performance.
Jiang Xia plucked a petal that fell into his eyes and looked up at the rose rain: "You have good taste..."
Suzuki Sonoko obviously felt the same way. The female high school student said optimistically, "Although we have been waiting here like fools for 20 minutes, it is not in vain to be able to see this kind of flower rain."
"Yeah, it turned out to be a false alarm." The members of the Fantasy Magic Group also came over. "In that case, let's hurry up and get on with our journey - we still have work to do."
…
False alarms and fabricated bomb reports are common here. Officer Sato has seen many murders in which "train suspension" was used as part of the murder method.
Now that the danger has been eliminated, it is time to move on - perhaps the scary demon sorcerer who made a feint is waiting for them at the terminal.
After getting on the bus, the high school students pulled the two policemen to sit together.
The "performance" of the rain of flowers just now aroused some interest in Suzuki Sonoko. She looked furtively in the direction of the Fantasy Magic Group and asked her companions: "Do you think that the 'Hell Puppet Master' is hiding among them?"
Jiang Xia nodded when he heard this: "When the 'Hell Puppet Master' distributed roses to us, he was wrapped up tightly and his voice was deliberately disguised, so it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. This means he could be anyone in the group."
Officer Gao Mu had looked up the guide before, and he knew the most about this magic troupe among everyone. This also made him a little confused: "I heard that at this time every year, the Fantasy Magic Troupe will go to the Corpse Source for a performance. This habit has existed for many years... Why did a 'Hell Puppet Master' appear this year?"
When Hashimoto Maya heard the words "existed for many years", she thought of many of Uzo's past scripts, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind: "Did something happen to this magic troupe a few years ago, causing some members to die unexpectedly?"
"How did you know?" Officer Gao Mu was a little surprised at first, but then he thought, Mr. Hashimoto and Jiang Xia are from the same detective agency. Isn't it normal for such a person to have stronger observation and reasoning abilities? - He must have discovered this from the incompatibility between the members.
The honest officer Takagi didn't think much about it. However, a primary school student nearby was obsessed with the suspicious point that flashed across his mind.
"Yes." Conan said in a childish voice, "How did Uncle Hashimoto know?"
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
