Chapter 3397 3409 [Get]
Amidst the life-threatening thudding sounds.
Conan stared at the toilet in front of him, his face full of confusion, as if he had encountered some world problem.
He had already checked the toilet, sink, and bathtub faucets. Logically, the water leak must be related to Miyano Akemi's arrival.
But now, after searching all over, he found nothing...
"What's going on?" In front of the cold toilet, Conan's confidence disappeared bit by bit. He wiped the water off his face and began to review his thoughts, looking for any loopholes.
"Could it be that the deceased president asked the members to conserve water for some other reason? What else could it be... Damn it, what the hell is going on?"
He stared at the small bathroom, intending to pry up the floor tiles one by one to take a look. But obviously, neither reason nor time allowed him to do so.
In the end, Conan was pried out by a police officer who was good at picking locks and taken outside.
Jiang Xia took the fake child that was soaked in toilet water, put it on the ground, and took out a wet towel to wipe his hands.
Conan stared at the direction of the toilet and was about to find an opportunity to slip over again, but at this time, Haibara Ai looked at him speechlessly, then patted her stomach lightly.
With a rustling sound, a crisp sound that did not belong to the fabric was heard in her coat.
Looking more closely, the mini scientist's flat belly now had a slight curve.
…She had something hidden under her coat!
After a brief moment of confusion, Conan suddenly understood and said in astonishment: "You..." You actually found it before me?!
Aren't you a scientist?! Why did you want to compete with a detective in reasoning, and even win?
Huiyuan Ai glanced at him, not wanting to waste time with this naive high school detective. She ended the topic with one sentence: "Jiang Xia gave me a hint."
"Oh!" Conan suddenly felt relieved, "Is that so?"
It turns out that the answer was flipped, that's normal.
He quickly confirmed, "Is it on the back of the float?"
Huibara Ai nodded.
Conan suddenly felt relieved: his reasoning was a little slower than the answer machine, but it was much better than a wrong reasoning. His skills really had not regressed.
Seeing Jiang Xia also looking at this side, Conan came back to his senses and said to him seriously: "Then let's do as we agreed at the beginning. No one will look at this thing. Just give it directly to Huiyuan."
Jiang Xia nodded: "Of course."
Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
The three of them finished their statements with their own thoughts, had a meal near the police station, and then returned home.
It was still broad daylight when I went out, but now it is getting dark.
Conan enthusiastically sent Jiang Xia back to the Jiang Xia residence. He then came to Dr. Agasa and stared at Huiyuan Ai's coat with burning eyes: "What is this thing your sister left behind?"
Huiyuan Ai glanced at him, turned around coldly, and repeated what the mini detective had said at the crime scene during the day: "This is my privacy."
Conan: “…”
That was just a lie to Jiang Xia! It was to prevent him, an unrelated person, from being involved in the organization's affairs. How could you take it seriously?
However, before he could argue, Haibara Ai had already walked into the house and closed the door.
"Haibara--!" Conan immediately stuck to the door like the policeman who knocked on the toilet door just now.
Dr. Agasa took off his coat, sighed, and whispered: "Forget it, let Ai take a look at it herself first - that is the last thing her family left, she must want to see it first."
Conan: "..." He understood the truth, but...
He was really curious about what it was.
…
In the house.
Ai Haibara closed the door, opened her coat, and like a spy, carefully lowered her head and looked at her belly.
The clothes there were soaked and felt damp and uncomfortable, but she didn't care about that at the moment.
After taking a deep breath, Haibara Ai reached out and carefully took out the things in her coat pocket.
It was a square plastic bag made of waterproof material. It was stuck to the back of the float in the toilet tank with a cross made of old tape.
Now she took it off and brought it back.
"Given the size and feel...it should be a tape." Haibara Ai subconsciously looked at the tape recorder in the room.
She walked over and wanted to open the plastic package and insert the tape to play it. But before she could do that, she suddenly remembered something and paused.
"Although the process sounds reasonable, judging from the outcome, the president's death... isn't it a bit too coincidental?
"Imai endured for over 20 years, over 7,000 days. He had so many opportunities to take action, and the president had so many opportunities to eat hamburgers, but unfortunately, he died today."
Accidental coincidences can make people sigh, but excessive coincidences make it impossible not to think too much.
Ai Haibara raised her head, looked out the dark window through the gap in the curtains, and suddenly shuddered.
——Only the four of them knew that I was planning to visit President Dejima today.
Then someone just happened to die there.
Considering the previous Porsche murder case, even Kudo was frightened and temporarily lost control of his emotions, but Jiang Xia was very calm from beginning to end, as relaxed as if this was just an ordinary homicide case, and there was no trace of worry on his face.
But logically speaking, Jiang Xia knows the organization better than Conan. When faced with such a sudden death of a key personnel, he should be more aware of the situation.
But now… was this really the attitude of a peripheral member? Of all the peripheral members she had met, which one wasn't trembling with fear when they smelled the organization's presence, afraid that if they made a mistake, they would become experimental material?
"Something feels wrong." Huiyuan Ai began to struggle with her conscience again, "But if it is really what I think it is, it doesn't make sense logically - just like now, I am still standing here, nothing happened."
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. This is really just an ordinary case. Jiang Xia isn't worried because he saw through the inside story of the case at a glance and knew that today's incident had nothing to do with the organization?"
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai reached out to the tape recorder again... and with a click, she closed the open tape compartment again.
"Although, although I don't think Jiang Xia had a hand in President Dejima's death, nor do I think he has a position in the organization that I'm unaware of...but these tapes were found at Jiang Xia's suggestion, so it seems reasonable to ask him if he can see them first."
