Chapter 3059 3071 [Purchasing]
"…Why are you suddenly interested in monsters again?"
Conan couldn't help scratching his head: A while ago, Jiang Xia was studying ghosts and the spirit world, and it could be explained as him missing his parents, but now...
A fake elementary school student who was always spoiled sighed and muttered in his heart: "Could it be that Jiang Xia's research on these metaphysical things is not for the purpose of resurrecting the dead, but because there is nothing in reality that can stump him, so he started to explore metaphysics?"
Huiyuan Ai noticed his strange expression and cleared her throat to clear Jiang Xia's name: "It's not a monster, it's a case related to monsters - Jiang Xia is doing the right thing."
Jiang Xia tucked the snow girl who had curiously poked her head out after hearing the word "monster" back and nodded seriously, "This trip has made me think a lot - people all have common characteristics. Since some people disguised murders as suicides, and others tried to cover up murders with monster legends, there must be more than one person who has done this."
Conan suddenly realized and felt that he understood: "Do you suspect that there are other unsolved cases like this in other monster-related incidents?"
It's easier to talk to a person with a brain, Jiang Xia responded and pushed him to the computer: "Take a look and see which case you think is problematic."
"This..." Conan was convinced, took the mouse, and began to look at the case carefully.
But before he could figure out what the problem was, Jiang Xia's cell phone rang suddenly.
Jiang Xia took out his cell phone and found that it was the half-bald reporter calling from yesterday.
He picked up the phone, and soon a vague voice came from the receiver: "Is that Jiang Xia? This is Nakai!"
The person on the other end sounded drunk, and his loud voice passed through the receiver and reached the ears of the two fake elementary school students.
Jiang Xia looked at them eavesdropping with their ears perked up, and considerately pressed the hands-free button: "It's me, what's up?"
Reporter Zhongjing gulped down a mouthful of beer, then burped and said seriously, "I have something very important to discuss with you. It's a matter of life and death!"
Conan: "..." Discussing life while drinking? Listen to how convincing this statement is...
However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party has really encountered some danger and is now drinking to give himself courage.
Thinking of this, the highly alert mini detective put aside the information in front of him, turned to Jiang Xia, and eavesdropped carefully.
Jiang Xia's expression also became more serious: "What's the matter?"
Reporter Nakai snorted, "That guy has set his sights on me! Although he probably doesn't have the guts to do it, if anything really happens to me, you must investigate it thoroughly. Although I don't know how much of your reputation is true, I haven't found any evidence of your cheating yet. In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
Huiyuan Ai's eyes twitched when she heard this: "..." How can you beg someone like this? Jiang Xia is the only one with a good temper. If it were someone else, he might...
“Bang!”
A muffled sound came from the receiver, followed by a cry of pain and the sound of a body falling to the ground.
The two elementary school students were startled and their eyes widened suddenly: Why does this sound so much like the sound of a blunt object hitting the skull? !
Jiang Xia obviously heard something wrong and said in a worried voice, "Mr. Nakai!"
There was no response from the other end. After waiting for two seconds, there was a beep and the call was hung up.
“…”
The three of them looked at each other. After a moment, Jiang Xia sighed and took his coat: "Fortunately, I received his business card yesterday, which has his address on it - I'll go over and take a look, you guys..."
Conan immediately said, "I'll go too!"
Huiyuan Ai adjusted her hair modestly and said, "I can do anything."
It doesn't matter if you take one or two. Jiang Xia found two spare helmets and handed them to them, then carried the two children and got on the motorcycle.
…
The other side.
Toru Amuro finished his daytime work at twice the speed and finally had some free time as he wished.
After finding out that reporter Nakai liked to have a drink at this time, he drove to the home of the half-bald reporter who was hiding a secret - drunkards were easy to deal with, and if all went well, by the time the other party woke up, the information would be in his hands.
While wondering whether the award-winning reporter Ryuichi Yanase had any connection with Usa, Toru Amuro took a break from his busy schedule to appreciate today's sunset.
Suddenly, in the rosy glow, a familiar-looking motorcycle whizzed past, with three helmets on the motorcycle flashing bright reflections.
Toru Amuro: "?"
...racing again?
And it’s overloaded!
"Jiang Xia, this guy, really needs to learn what the Road Safety Law is." Amuro Toru sighed, then remembered something and frowned, "Why did he suddenly run to this area? And judging from where he was going... Could it be that Jiang Xia was also going to look for Nakai? Does he have any clues about this matter?"
If that's the case, maybe I don't have to spend so much effort stealing information.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro sped up and quietly followed behind the motorcycle.
…
Not wanting to interfere with his intelligence personnel, he originally planned to follow them all the way.
But when he was almost at the residential area, he suddenly saw a familiar car driving out from the intersection and heading straight for the supermarket in the distance.
After looking at the car and the people in it, Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Calvados?"
Why did he come out from here? I haven’t heard of any sniper missions in Tokyo recently... Does he live here too?
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro couldn't help but frowned deeply.
"Just when I was thinking about investigating Calvados, this guy bumped into me several times... After all, he is a codename cadre in a mysterious organization. Isn't the chance of encountering him a bit abnormally high?
"And he happens to live very close to that reporter. This familiar coincidence is really annoying..."
The shadow of Uzo flashed through his mind. After hesitating for a moment, Toru Amuro changed direction and followed Calvados.
——Since we have encountered it, we can't give up the information right in front of us just to avoid being involved in that possible situation.
He has been pulling teeth out of tigers' mouths since the day he became an undercover agent, and now he is just taking it to the next level.
…
Huihara Ai was sitting in front of Jiang Xia, braving the howling wind, when she suddenly realized something.
She raised her head with difficulty, holding on to her helmet, and saw Jiang Xia turning his head to look in a certain direction. For some reason, he looked like he really wanted to go over there.
"What's wrong?" Haibara Ai also looked over there puzzledly, but she only saw a few cars passing by on the street, everything seemed so ordinary.
Jiang Xia came back to his senses and looked away regretfully: "Nothing."
As he spoke, he stepped on the accelerator, and the motorcycle, which was already fast, suddenly accelerated as if in a hurry, streaked through the residential area like a meteor, and stopped downstairs of an apartment building.
As soon as the car stopped, Conan suddenly discovered something. He looked grim and pointed upstairs: "That room is on fire!"
