Chapter 3247 3259 [Disappearing Akai Shuichi] Asking for monthly votes ()
Shuichi Akai, the FBI ace, doesn't work as hard as Gin and Toru Amuro, but having come all the way from New York to Tokyo, he obviously can't let himself be idle.
For the FBI, Vermouth is also a big fish. If there is significant progress on her side, then Shuichi Akai may indeed temporarily abandon Uzo and concentrate on dealing with Vermouth.
Jiang Xia released the ghost to search for murderous intent nearby while walking up the stairs to the third floor.
When he got outside the gate, he glanced at the moon in the sky. It was almost full, and Vermouth had been making so many small moves recently. It seemed that she was finally going to do something?
"Xiaolan!"
At the same time, in the Maori Detective Agency, Conan's anxious voice was heard looking for someone.
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze and entered the house, only to see Conan running around the house and finally stopping in the kitchen.
On the chopping board in the kitchen were washed radishes and onions, and the pot on the stove was emitting wisps of steam, looking full of life - if there was another person busy in front of the stove, then this would have been a very ordinary dinner scene.
But there was no one in the kitchen.
It was as if the person suddenly disappeared out of thin air while the meal was halfway through.
"The meal was halfway done, and the TV downstairs was not turned off..." Looking at these abnormal signs, Conan was in a state of panic, "They didn't go out normally, they must have been taken away on the way!"
Has the Black Organization finally taken action here?
"Don't think too much." Jiang Xia also entered the kitchen and looked around. "The meal was indeed only half done, but the fire on the stove was turned off. If someone really broke into the house to kidnap us, let alone turning off the fire out of kindness, they would have started a fire. It should be Xiaolan who turned off the fire herself and went to do other things."
Conan, however, gritted his teeth and was not so optimistic: "But Uncle Maori is also missing. At this time, what could have happened to make them disappear at the same time?"
Jiang Xia glanced at the ghosts that floated back: "There are many, for example, Uncle Maoli suddenly won a big prize and couldn't help but run out to show off to his friends. At the same time, he wanted to reward himself with something good, so he asked Xiaolan to go out and buy other food to improve his life."
Conan listened to this far-fetched explanation and smiled awkwardly: "Don't comfort me, it's all my fault, I shouldn't..."
As he was speaking, suddenly, he heard the entrance door opening and closing, and someone walked in.
"Oh no!" Conan was shocked and pushed Jiang Xia with his backhand, "Go hide in the closet quickly, they must be coming for me!"
He wanted to push Jiang Xia into the closet next to him, and then face the attacking organization members alone, leaving the anti-organization spark in the closet.
However, it was obvious that the mini elementary school student overestimated his own strength. After this push, Jiang Xia did not move at all, but he took two steps back and almost fell down.
Conan steadied himself and tried to push again, but before he could do so, the person who had entered had already walked to the kitchen door and saw the scene inside.
The moment he saw the figure, Conan's heart was in his throat.
But after a moment, he suddenly realized that the person who came in was not the man in black clothes with long silver hair and a man in black clothes with an overbite as he had imagined, but...
"Xiaolan?!" Conan widened his eyes in surprise, "Where... where have you been?!"
Mao Lilan tapped his head gently: "Why are you calling me by my name again? I've told you so many times to call me Sister Xiaolan."
As she corrected him, she shook the shopping bag in her hand and said, "I'm going to buy groceries. My dad made a lot of money by betting on the underdog in the horse race today. I was cooking when he came up to me excitedly and said he wanted to eat steak and asked me to buy some good meat and wine."
"It just so happened that tonight's dinner was a bit vegetarian, so I quickly went to the supermarket to buy more - if I went to that supermarket too late, the good meat would be sold out."
"......?" Conan asked slowly, "Where did Uncle Maori go?"
Mao Lilan sighed helplessly: "He ran out to show off to his friends - it's a rare opportunity for him to win, and his dad wanted to put up a big poster to publicize it in the neighborhood."
Conan was stunned.
...Jiang Xia was right about all of them!
He looked at Jiang Xia blankly, and saw Jiang Xia gave him a familiar smile, and then said in a familiar tone: "This is reasoning."
Conan's face turned red: "..." This, isn't this what he said most often when he was still Kudo Shinichi!
"Before, others would just stare at me while I was reasoning. I didn't expect it to be the other way around this time... Wait, come to think of it, before Jiang Xia became a detective, I seemed to have done some routine reasoning in front of him as 'Famous Detective Kudo Shinichi'."
At that time, he just thought that he was as sharp and handsome as Sherlock Holmes, but now when he recalled that scene, Conan couldn't help but dig his toes into the ground... What's the difference between this and a high school nerd proudly explaining math problems to a math professor!
Mao Lilan didn't notice the elementary school student's complicated mood. She took out the ingredients and placed them on the chopping board, and said to Jiang Xia: "Since you are here, eat before you leave - I bought a lot of fresh ingredients today."
Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, looked at the detective agency and saw that it seemed that there would be no customers coming in the short term, and finally shook his head.
——Just now, the ghosts went to look for Akai Shuichi, but when they arrived, both the person and the murderous aura were gone. He wanted to pretend to go shopping and walk in that direction to see if he could find him.
…
When the psychic tries to stumble upon his cunning prey.
The other side.
After leaving the crime scene, Toru Amuro called his subordinate in the police department, Yuya Kazami.
"Mr. Fūya!" Kazami Yuya said very efficiently, "I have sent the information you requested to your email address. I just took a quick look at it. It is indeed strange. It seems that the files of the Metropolitan Police Department have disappeared out of thin air."
"Yeah." Amuro Toru was not in a hurry to look at those, but asked about another matter that concerned him, "I remember you seemed to have had a car accident a few weeks ago? What was the specific situation?"
Yuya Kazami was flattered. He didn't expect that his little personal matter would be taken seriously by his superior. Although the condolence seemed to be delayed for a few weeks... But it's not a big problem! Mr. Fūya is so busy, and he was very thoughtful to think of this matter!
He said quickly, "Don't worry, it's been handled. I'm not injured, nor am I involved in any trouble. It won't affect my work. Alas, it's a pity for the woman who hit my car. She's so young. How could she suddenly lose her mind?"
"..." Amuro Toru was silent for a moment, feeling that this subordinate seemed to have misunderstood his meaning. Fortunately, the purpose of the inquiry was achieved - the deceased who took the initiative to hit Kazami's car, the more he listened, the more he looked like the person in the murder case just now.
