Chapter 30 Cry! Hug me and cry together!
Jiang Xia remembered that the cause of this "25 million yen gift-giving incident" was an operation performed by Dr. Ogawa on August 3 three years ago.
The patient was a 5-year-old boy named Tomoya Ogino. He was sent to the hospital too late for appendicitis and rescue efforts were ineffective, so he died.
After his death, Ogino's father received 25 million in insurance money.
But Ogino's father didn't want money, he just wanted the doctor to experience the pain of losing his son.
Coincidentally, Dr. Ogawa also has a young son.
Ogino's father sent the 25 million to Dr. Ogawa in batches, and decided to kill the doctor's son when he turned five.
Now, two years have passed, and Dr. Ogawa's son is exactly five years old - he goes to the kindergarten in front of him.
…
Ogino's father sat on a bench and looked at the kindergarten.
Jiang Xia stood about ten meters away and looked at him.
Looking at the murderous aura on Ogino's father, Jiang Xia's mood increased by +1, +1, +1...
This time, the choice between murderous aura and shikigami was not difficult to answer.
——The children in this world seem to be surrounded by a strange aura, and their mortality rate is very low.
Moreover, the innocent children were killed by the murderer in a daze, and their confused obsession was not enough to generate a Shikigami.
…It would be better to be safe and set the goal directly as “knock off the murderous intent of Ogino’s father.”
Jiang Xia grasped the baton hidden on his body expectantly, but hesitated for a moment and did not take it out immediately.
——This case is different from ordinary homicides.
Ogino's father is so obsessed that he can even give away 25 million. And it concerns his son...
I always feel that it is difficult to dispel the murderous aura by simply beating him up.
It’s better to wait for a suitable time.
…
At the same time, at Mihua Pharmacist Hospital.
In the archive room, files are piled up like mountains.
After some reasoning, Conan finally used an old game console to identify "Ogino Tomoya" - the child who died of appendicitis, among the many patients treated by Dr. Ogawa.
Moreover, he guessed Ogino's father's plan of "tit for tat".
When Dr. Ogawa heard this, he immediately panicked.
He hurriedly called the kindergarten, only to hear that his son had just been picked up by his "father".
The doctor's heart sank and he fell to his knees.
"Calm down! Since they were just picked up, they shouldn't have gone far." Maori Kogoro pulled the man up and said sternly, "Take us to the kindergarten right now! There's still a chance to find them."
"...Okay!" Dr. Ogawa wiped his face heavily, gritted his teeth and rushed out of the hospital, turning his grief and anger into running speed.
The four of them rushed all the way to the kindergarten.
…
Maybe it was due to telepathy between father and son.
When he ran to a viaduct, Dr. Ogawa accidentally glanced to the lower right.
…I just happened to see my son holding a remote-controlled airplane and smiling happily in the park over there.
Behind the son, a middle-aged man stood there with a gloomy face, holding a sharp knife and gesturing as if he wanted to chop.
Dr. Ogawa was so frightened that he let out a useless scream from afar: "Yuta——!!!"
When Maori and the others turned around, they felt anxious.
Conan squatted down with a serious expression and turned on the switch on his sneakers.
——This is a new piece of equipment made by the doctor. It can greatly enhance his leg strength and make up for his low combat power.
As lightning flashed from his sneakers, Conan snatched the football from an innocent kid nearby and planned to use it to kick Ogino's father away.
But before that.
Under the overpass, a man suddenly walked out from behind a tree next to the attacker.
The four people on the bridge were slightly startled.
"..."Jiang Xia?!
…
Jiang Xia maintained his usual style—he swiftly snatched Ogino's father's knife from behind and kicked him in the knee at the same time.
Before Ogino's father could react, he fell to his knees, scaring the child who was playing with an airplane in front of him.
…
The four people on the bridge breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the attacker was subdued.
They were happily trying to run down the bridge to meet up with Jiangxia.
But suddenly Jiang Xia raised his hand and swung it, and a piece of baton unfolded.
The next second, the young man raised his hand without warning and hit Ogino's father hard on the shoulder with a stick.
Ogino's father was knocked flying, and he hit his head on the tree trunk next to him, then slid to the ground in a dizzy state.
Dr. Ogawa, the Maori father and daughter: "..."
Conan on the bridge: “…………”
He knew it would turn out like this!
Conan was holding a football in his hands, wearing powerful sneakers that were emitting lightning, and was lost in thought.
...A few days ago, he brought this set of equipment and kicked the football so hard that it broke a tree.
Using this force to kick Jiang Xia always feels uncomfortable.
But if he didn't kick, that Ogino father would be beaten to death... After all, it's a human life, and Jiang Xia might also be sued because of this incident.
The four people on the bridge fell into silence at the same time.
In just a few seconds, under the bridge, Ogino's father was knocked unconscious and couldn't get up.
In the end, it was Mao Lilan who came to her senses first. She shouted anxiously, "Stop fighting!"
The sound had just sounded when Jiang Xia, under the bridge, swung the stick again, hitting with full concentration and joy, without even raising his head.
Four people on the bridge: “…”
This section of the viaduct is very long. By the time it goes around, Ogino's father might be dead.
Mao Lilan was worried for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.
She bent down, leaned out of the bridge, and observed the structure on the side of the viaduct.
After a moment, Mao Lilan's eyes lit up. She stood up and ran quickly to the nearest support.
…
In the park.
Jiang Xia didn't actually use his full strength, he just knocked a few times tentatively.
However, the murderous aura in Ogino's father did not waver at all. His killing intent was very firm.
Jiang Xia suddenly felt bored.
So next, he knocked more perfunctorily.
Rather than beating people, it was more about creating a suitable opportunity for Ogawa's son next to him to "heroically save his uncle" - and then move Ogino's father and make him give up killing on his own initiative.
…
When Ogino's father was hit so hard that he saw stars.
Jiang Xia secretly raised his eyes and looked at the child next to him expectantly.
——According to his script, at this moment, the kind-hearted child should rush over, bravely hug Jiang Xia's legs, and tell him "Stop hitting your uncle! Your uncle is a good man!".
Then, this kindness from the child will awaken the fatherly heart of Ogino's father.
Once Ogino's father gives up the murder, his murderous aura will naturally disappear...
…
However, the script is satisfying.
But after waiting for a long time, the child didn't come over.
Instead, after making eye contact with Jiang Xia, he shuddered suddenly, took several steps back holding the toy plane, and tears of fear appeared in his eyes.
Jiang Xia: “……?”
...Perhaps he was frightened by Ogino's kitchen knife?
Thinking of this, he threw the kitchen knife he had just snatched aside, and knocked down Ogino's father who was struggling to raise his head, to prevent him from shaking the child's courage.
Then he tentatively gave the child a friendly smile.
This time, the child shuddered violently, ran far away, hid behind a tree, and refused to stick his head out again.
Jiang Xia looked at the rough tree trunk: "..."
...something's wrong.
The script is clearly not like this!
