Chapter 3389 3401 [Murder from the Organization] Ask for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
The turbaned office worker sipped his Coke and continued, "And it wasn't just once—the thief broke in twice in a row.
"In the past 30 years, we have never been robbed. If I didn't know she was Mr. Miyano's daughter, I would have thought she was sent by thieves to scout the place."
After a pause, the hooded office worker suddenly thought of something, a look of alarm on his face. Under Ai Haibara's unfriendly gaze, he pondered, "Wait, are they really here to scout things out? Like, impersonate Miss Mingmei..."
"It's not a fake. That must be Miss Mingmei. She looks exactly like when she came here with Mr. Miyano as a child. Even her hairstyle hasn't changed." The mop-head took a hamburger, peeled it open, took a bite, and said as he chewed:
"Although that child looks Asian, he's clearly mixed-race. Plus, we know this is the old house of the Miyano family... there's no doubt it's the same person."
As he was speaking, there was a sound of flushing in the toilet and the president opened the door and came out.
He had obviously heard the conversation outside and joined in: "It's really strange, but I remember those two times, the thieves didn't steal anything - if the windows hadn't been pried open and the house hadn't been ransacked, we wouldn't have discovered that a thief had entered here."
Seeing the president coming, the three employees stood a little straighter.
However, the turbaned office worker still couldn't change his talkative nature and took the initiative to ask, "Your diarrhea hasn't healed yet."
The president sighed and said, "I've been squatting in the toilet for a while now. I feel better now. At least my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."
As he spoke, he also took a hamburger, peeled it open and held it in his hand. Then, while chewing, he thought:
"Speaking of which, besides the thief who broke in..." the president chewed his burger, "after that girl came here..." he chewed two more bites, "we've got a strange phenomenon here."
"!" Conan and Huiyuan Ai pricked up their ears instantly, "What's happening?"
The president opened his mouth... and then his hands suddenly began to tremble.
The burger fell to the ground with a thud. He raised his hands to cover his neck, and a heavy gasp came from his throat.
In the end, the panting sound turned into a scream, and the next moment, the president who had just been gossiping with them leaned back and fell to the ground with a thud.
“…”
“President——!!”
The three office workers surrounded him in a panic, but were then blocked by Jiang Xia.
Under the slightly horrified gazes of Conan and Haibara Ai, Jiang Xia squatted down and looked at the president's condition.
After a moment, the high school detective shook his head regretfully: "It's too late. But to be on the safe side, let's call an ambulance and call the police."
The three office workers nodded in panic, then each took action. One called an ambulance, one called 911, and the third was dazed for a moment before fetching a blanket: "How about covering the president with one? - He has a scary expression, don't scare the two kids."
"..." Jiang Xia looked at the two children who were not afraid of the corpse but did look like frightened children, and shook his head, "It will ruin the scene. If you really want to cover it, you can cover the two children with the blanket."
…
The reason why the two fake children were frightened was actually very simple.
...The president suddenly recalled a "strange thing", and that thing was related to Miyano Akemi, that is, the organization.
Then, the next moment when he was about to tell that story, the president suddenly fell to the ground... No matter how you look at it, the timing and the result are very similar to one thing - the organization is silencing him.
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai raised her trembling hands and pulled the hood down hard.
Although she had dyed her hair black with the disposable hair dye spray made by the doctor before going out today, she couldn't stop shaking all over when she thought that there might be people from the organization nearby watching this place and who knows how to silence a president from a distance.
"But didn't Jiang Xia say it was okay to come here? Then there shouldn't be any members of the organization nearby." Huiyuan Ai huddled in her hood, thinking back to what happened not long ago, and was briefly confused. "But now... how could this president be killed all of a sudden?"
Although there are a lot of questions in my mind, no matter what, things have come to this point and there is only one way to go.
Huiyuan Ai gritted her teeth and said, "Let's get out of here quickly!"
Jiang Xia was facing away, concentrating on examining the body, and seemed not to have heard anything.
Conan, who was also startled, came to his senses and firmly objected. He whispered, "If we have been targeted by the organization, it would be more dangerous to go back now. It is better to stay here and find a solution after the police arrive."
“And if you’re not being targeted by the organization, leaving now will only make you look suspicious, and the consequences are self-evident.
"Compared to that, here are the things your sister left behind—don't you want to see what they are?"
Huiyuan Ai looked at him in shock: "A person was just murdered by the organization right in front of you, and you still have the mind to think about this? - Now you should be thinking about how to survive, right?!"
Although dying next to her sister's belongings can barely be considered a good ending, but... but so many people can't all be killed by the members of that evil organization because of her.
At this moment, Jiang Xia seemed to have finally finished examining the body. He turned around and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Nothing!" Conan spoke first, "I was just wondering what the president meant by 'strange things' before he died."
——Of course, the speculation that "President Dejima was silenced by the organization" cannot be told to people who don't know the organization.
But this was actually better: Jiang Xia didn't know about the organization, so he would just play his detective role. If everything went well, they might be able to pass as kindhearted passersby under Jiang Xia's leadership and slip past the organization members' noses...if the president was really silenced by the organization members.
in addition……
"If he was really silenced, then it means that during this period of time, members of the organization must have approached the president. We may be able to follow this clue and find more leads."
"But now, we have to act natural. We can deal with the rest after the police arrive."
Thinking of this, a mini elementary school student pretended to be well-behaved and stood beside the corpse, thinking about something quickly.
…
Not long after, sirens sounded and several familiar faces rushed into the house first.
After an inspection, the police came to a preliminary conclusion. Officer Takagi reported expertly, "The deceased's name is Dejima Sohei, 54 years old. He was the president of this design firm and mainly engaged in graphic design work.
"The cause of his death should be poisoning. The specific circumstances still need to wait for the results from the forensic department.
"According to the three employees of the deceased, he was eating hamburgers with them. After taking a few bites, he showed a painful expression and then collapsed to the ground."
