Chapter 3094 3106 [Patch]
Seeing everyone chatting, Calvados frowned and stood up: "I'm going back to my room first."
"Hmm?" The old lady looked at him in confusion. "Aren't you going to chat with your friends? It's a rare opportunity for them to come over."
Calvados: "..." He doesn't have such a haunting friend...
Although he was a little impatient in his heart, Calvados had to make an excuse like a normal person for the sake of his future peace: "I didn't sleep well last night, so I went back to my room to catch up on some sleep."
Maori Kogoro remembered something and said with sympathy, "That's right, you were hit hard by a stick not long ago, and it happened to hit the wound from before. When you fell down last night, I thought you were beaten to death by a stick."
Calvados' eyes twitched slightly after being pricked in the pain, and he couldn't help but start to wonder if Vermouth had seen that scene. At the same time, he didn't want to talk to these guys anymore, so he stood up without saying a word and went back to his room.
"What an introverted child." The landlady looked at the closed door and shook her head helplessly, "He hasn't eaten the watermelon yet... Forget it, leave him two slices first and give them to him after he has rested well."
After Calvados left like an air conditioner, everyone except Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief and the conversation became harmonious.
Jiang Xia took a slice of watermelon, lifted the snow girl up and asked her to hold her tightly. While trying to make iced watermelon, he listened to the casual chat between Mouri Kogoro and the old woman.
After eating a few pieces of cool and sweet watermelon, the sky gradually darkened.
The landlady glanced at her watch and suddenly remembered something: "It's already past 8 o'clock... Strange, I asked Ah Zhen to come find me after he got home, why is he still nowhere to be seen?"
Maori Kogoro also glanced at the time: "Maybe he went out to play with his classmates?"
The landlady shook her head and stood up: "Ah Zhen's life is quite regular. He should have come back by this time. Maybe he didn't see the message. I'll go to his room and check."
Conan thought of Calvados who had moved to this apartment on purpose, and suspected that this "Ah Zhen" knew someone in the organization, so he immediately got up and said, "Grandma, I'll go with you!"
"Haha, then come on." The old woman touched his head and said to Jiang Xia and Maori Kogoro, "It's a good opportunity for me to take you around my newly built Guangming Apartment."
…
The few of them left the landlady's room and walked along the spacious corridor to another house on the same floor.
"The first and third floors are for rent. Ah Zhen and I live on the fourth floor. In addition, there are two other rooms on the fourth floor for rent."
The landlady stopped at the door of her grandson's room, opened it and said with a smile, "I thought the tenants would be reluctant to live in a room on a high floor, but Mr. Yamaguchi actually chose a room on the fourth floor - it seems that he is a healthy young man who likes to exercise and is not afraid of climbing stairs."
Conan: "..." The suspicious guy just thought that the 4th floor had a wide view and he could observe the police cars driving nearby. If something happened, he could jump to the roof of the next building and run away, so he chose this place - if I remember correctly, when the sirens were getting closer last night, "Mr. Yamaguchi" who had fainted from the pain actually wanted to run away instinctively, but he didn't get up later. Instead, he became a hero because of a blessing in disguise.
“A-choo!”
In the next room.
Calvados, who was eavesdropping on the door, covered his mouth and nose, turned his head and sneezed quietly.
Then he rubbed his nose, turned around and continued to stick to the door - for some reason, the group of detectives did not leave, but came along the corridor in a crowd.
"Is there a wanted criminal living next door to me, and Jiang Xia has discovered his weakness?" The bad memories from not long ago came to his mind, and Calvados' shoulders began to throb in pain.
He covered his arm while eavesdropping, feeling a little regretful - if he had known this would happen, he should have stayed in the living room and listened to what these guys said, so that he could judge how to avoid risks next.
"They have to stay in an atmosphere they hate... So, those guys who work in intelligence are really enduring humiliation."
The current situation made Calvados suddenly have a better understanding of those annoying Riddlers: "No wonder Bourbon built his detective agency next to the police station and hired a famous detective as an employee... This is probably why he is so successful in the organization."
When an undercover agent was inexplicably praised by his colleagues.
At the door of the next door, the old lady pushed the door a few times and showed a puzzled expression: "Why is it locked? Fortunately, I have a spare key."
Seeing her skillfully take out a bunch of keys from her pocket, Mao Lilan was startled: "This...is it not a good idea for us to open the door directly?"
The old lady waved her hand indifferently: "What's the big deal? He's not a tenant. He's my grandson."
As she spoke, she inserted the key with a click and opened the door.
The room was dark, and the light from the corridor shone in, illuminating the entrance.
Jiang Xia lowered his head and saw a light blue sweater spread out on the floor in the entrance hall.
The old lady also saw it, and she shook her head helplessly: "Really, how many times have I told you, why do you still throw clothes around?"
As she spoke, she walked forward to pick up the sweater, then turned on the light in the room.
With a click, the light illuminated the corridor. Seeing the scene in front of her, Mao Lilan's eyes suddenly widened and she was stunned on the spot.
——The beige wall was covered with crimson twisted lines, the long blood-red lines twisted and tangled together, crawling across all the walls within sight like worms. A closer look revealed that even the closed doors were not spared.
The entrance hall also had these lines. Jiang Xia took a step to the side despite the heavy pressure on his arm and said quickly, "It wasn't drawn with blood, it was drawn with crayons."
"I was scared to death..." Mao Lilan relaxed, patted her chest, and let out a long breath.
Jiang Xia let out a breath calmly, then turned around and looked ahead.
This is a house with double corridors. There is a long corridor as soon as you enter the door, and other rooms are distributed on both sides of the corridor.
The two doors on the right were closed, while the door on the left farthest from the main entrance was half open, with a short piece of crayon lying at the door.
Jiang Xia walked over and looked down at the crayons on the ground. Soon he discovered something else and turned to look at the door frame, and saw that the edges of the door frame were also covered with red crayons.
As he was watching, there was a sudden sound of a door opening and closing in the corridor outside, followed by a nonchalant question: "What's wrong?"
