Chapter 307 I Didn't Want to Cheat
After listening to those narrations, Mao Lilan was shocked by Conan's cliff jumping operation and was afraid for a while: "It's too dangerous."
At the same time, she silently memorized the person Conan mentioned, thinking that if she met him in the future, she would have to thank him, otherwise she might only find a child who had fainted on a tree and was frozen into an ice stick on her way back.
As for Conan being knocked unconscious by a kind person... maybe Conan himself had a cold and fever and fainted. Or he accidentally hit his head when he flew over. In such a chaotic situation, a child's senses and memory are prone to errors. Otherwise, why would someone save him and then knock him unconscious? This doesn't make sense.
Suzuki Sonoko thought elsewhere.
In the dark woods at dusk, there was a low-key hero wandering in the woods, saving people from danger, and leaving without leaving a trace of cloud after saving them... While everyone else was thinking, she pulled Conan over and quietly asked the question she was most concerned about:
"Is he handsome?"
“…”
Conan rolled his dead eyes at her and thought to himself, you are worthy of me.
Then he thought about the question and nodded reluctantly: "Like the people on TV." At the same time, he suddenly thought that maybe this could also be a clue to finding someone.
Suzuki Sonoko got a positive answer, and the small theater in her mind instantly added countless gorgeous materials. She stood up with shining eyes and was about to share it with Mao Lilan, but she suddenly caught a glimpse of Jiang Xia in her peripheral vision, and suddenly felt embarrassed to talk about such a topic.
So Suzuki Sonoko modestly changed the subject, pretending that she was asking Conan something serious: "Well, since there are people nearby, there may be other residents as well. Let's go check out the situation nearby and borrow a phone to call the police!"
Kidd saw through her intentions and thought, "Don't go and deliver food. Legend has it that Mist Tengu's favorite food is tender girls. Besides, Mist Tengu is probably hungry now, and it's unknown how long the small porcelain bottle will last him."
Although the owner of the villa, Araki Yoshinori, failed to see through Suzuki Sonoko's true intention, he decisively rejected the proposal: "We have to cross the mountain to find other residents. People who live here may know the way, but I seldom come here and am not familiar with the surroundings. It is too dangerous to go into the mountains at night."
Jiang Xia didn't want to go out at night, so he nodded and agreed: "Uncle Maori may have called the police. Why don't we wait until morning to see if there is any help. If not, we can go over the mountain to find another villa and borrow a phone to call the police."
Others thought it was ok.
After all, they have found the murderer now. Compared with being with the exposed Tanaka Takahisa, being in the mountains at night is more frightening.
…
The next morning, when the sound of a police helicopter was heard on the horizon, Kidd spread his hang glider and slipped away in a high-profile manner.
He didn't want to take a helicopter ride with Jiang Xia - who knows if this detective would suddenly reveal his identity as "Kaito Kid" to the police halfway through the flight. In that case, even if the police were unable to arrest him due to insufficient evidence, he would be easily targeted when he wanted to take action later.
…
The police arrived a step too late and failed to catch the thief, which was quite regrettable. But they received the murderer from Jiang Xia with a calm face and steady steps, which was rare.
On the way back to the police station, the members of the magician lovers' party heard that Jiang Xia was actually a famous high school detective. Thinking about his two girlfriends, a lot of gossip was brewing in their minds.
Fortunately, the subsequent transcripts involved the forum ID, and Jiang Xia finally successfully removed the title of "talking like a cute girl" from his head and threw it back on Suzuki Sonoko's head.
…
The gathering of magician lovers finally came to an end.
A few days later, Jiang Xia successfully found relevant reports of this incident in the newspaper.
As usual, he cut out reports from the edges of newspapers and pasted them into his case collection.
When picking up the remaining newspapers, Jiang Xia suddenly found a special advertisement in the gap, with some cute Q-version dolphins drawn on it.
This is not a sale or recruitment information, but a prize-winning guessing contest:
[Do you know what is a precious item that almost all Japanese people have during the Showa era?
Bring this item to Tsutsu Port on October 9th and you will have a chance to join the Ogasawara Dolphin Tour (3 days and 2 nights) for free.]
The signature is "Furukawa Dai".
Jiang Xia's eyes immediately stopped on this advertisement and he didn't want to leave.
In the eyes of those who have the spoilers, this is not a simple guessing game with prizes, but a preview of a serial murder case.
...I have to get on board and take a look.
There was still some time before leaving the ship, so Jiang Xia looked at his watch and prepared to go find that special "ticket" first.
The question looks short, but it actually has many limitations on the answer: "Showa era", "almost all Japanese", "precious items".
Based on these restrictions, the answer preset by the questioner is actually the first edition of the 10,000 yen banknote issued in Showa 33.
"Showa Era" - This banknote ceased to circulate in 1979.
"Precious items" - the largest denomination of money, of course, is precious.
"Almost all Japanese" - this kind of money was difficult to circulate at first because of its high face value, but later it coincided with the period of rapid economic growth and began to circulate and spread rapidly, and many people have received it.
Nowadays, this version of money is not so common in the market, but many people still have it. For Jiang Xia, who knows many customers and has some knowledge of the locations of some organizations, it is not difficult to get it.
…
At the same time, Osaka.
Hattori Heiji received another call that he could not refuse.
——Not long ago, someone sent him a letter of commission with ten old 10,000 yen bills enclosed in the letter.
As a high school detective who has no worries about making a living, Hattori Heiji solves cases purely out of interest and does not want to accept paid commissions.
Therefore, when he encounters such an unreasonable client who does not leave an address or an account, he can only go there in person and return the money.
Then since I'm already there, I'll just complete the commission.
This time, the client did not mention any specific matters, but only asked Hattori Heiji to go to Ogasawara to handle the case, and told him that as long as he showed the banknotes in the letter to the crew, the crew would let him on board. The letter was signed by "Furukawa Dai".
Hattori Heiji looked at the location of the port and found that it was in Tokyo.
It just so happened that his mother, Shizuka Hattori, was also going to Tokyo recently, so Hattori Heiji decided to take a ride with his mother. When his mother went to attend a classmate's wedding, he would go to Kudo Shinichi for a competition commission, which would be very pleasant.
Hattori Heiji originally wanted to find an excuse to make an appointment with Mouri Kogoro, to communicate with him on the surface, but actually to secretly abduct Conan.
However, after making the call, Hattori Heiji regretfully learned that Kogoro Mori was attending a concert that day and had no time to receive him.
