Chapter 361 I understand, Toru Amuro is also anonymous
In addition, Conan felt that it was a bit suspicious that Toru Amuro appeared at school tonight.
…
Now, most of the mysteries in the teaching building have been solved, and those who are destined to die have also died socially. Several groups of people can no longer stay in the teaching building and are preparing to leave.
On the way to the school gate, Conan looked at the back of "Amuro Toru", and thought about his unreasonable behavior and attitude today, and his thoughts were scattered.
Vermouth was walking normally on the campus when she suddenly felt a very penetrating gaze.
She frowned and turned around to see Conan watching her from behind.
“…”
Vermouth's frown relaxed again.
Cool guy seems to be wary of bourbon, which is a good thing.
And Bourbon seems to be a very friendly person, and he is also very good at disguising himself. Cool guy has this attitude towards Bourbon, maybe Uzo once hinted at this...
Thinking of this, Vermouth's dissatisfaction at being spied on was like snowflakes falling into a fire, disappearing in an instant and turning into a few strands of warmth.
…
When we arrived at the school gate, the dean turned the corner as if nothing had happened and walked away quickly.
Teacher Kobayashi originally wanted to do the same, but before she moved, she suddenly saw Jiang Xia turn his head and his eyes fell on her.
Kobayashi Sumiko shuddered: "What, what happened?"
There were street lights at the school gate, and some bright light came through the security room next to it, and Kobayashi Sumiko's figure and face were clearly reflected.
At this glance, I realized that she really looks like Officer Sato.
Jiang Xia instinctively pulled up the hem of his clothes to cover the pocket containing the baton.
Then he pointed at the children who were eavesdropping nearby and asked with a clear purpose: "Do they have other duties in the near future? Or, do they have any other arrangements that require them to stay in school?"
...It's a rare opportunity to have a legitimate reason to take the Young Detective Team out. If I don't bring back some shikigami and murderous aura, I'll always feel that my life is not complete.
When Mr. Kobayashi heard this question, he shook his head repeatedly and whispered, "In fact, we rarely take up students' spare time, and we don't have to work so late on duty... There won't be such a thing again."
"Is that so..." Jiang Xia's eyes moved and fell on the four children, revealing a gentle smile, "I will pick you up after school tomorrow."
The three children huddled together, shivering, with the same despair in their eyes.
They looked at Teacher Kobayashi for help, but saw that the introverted teacher kept his head down after reluctantly answering Jiang Xia's question.
——She was still immersed in the shadow of social death after being caught by students during late-night practice. At this moment, she didn't want to look at anyone at all. She just wanted to find a shell to hide herself in. Naturally, she didn't notice the silent cries of the children.
The three children had no choice but to turn their attention to another adult present, "Amuro Toru".
This time, the two sides successfully looked at each other.
There was a gleam of anticipation in the eyes of the young detectives, hoping that this seemingly good-tempered blond big brother could understand the innocent children's desire to escape from the movie.
However, although "Amuro Toru" was looking at them, his mind was obviously somewhere else.
"He" continued Jiang Xia's words and said with some regret: "I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't come."
Conan rolled his eyes and glanced at this strange boss: Why did he answer the question so naturally, when no one invited him to go together...
Thinking of this, Conan touched his chin vigilantly.
Although various attempts on Amuro Toru in the past, including telling Inspector Megure that Amuro Toru was carrying a gun, had only resulted in normal feedback - no matter how hard he tried, Amuro Toru was always a serious detective with no problems with his identity.
But Conan still intuitively felt that this person had a secret and something wrong.
Especially after today's contact.
...Or how about finding an excuse and letting Jiang Xia trick Amuro Toru into taking a hot spring bath or swimming?
In this way, if Toru Amuro is really Anonymous, then perhaps we can use the parts he deliberately covered up to infer where the "z" tattoo on his body is hidden.
Of course, as he has a tattoo, Toru Amuro would definitely refuse to go to places where he has to expose his body.
Therefore, pay special attention to his attitude when he refuses the invitation.
Conan felt good and started to plan the details.
…
I spent some time in the teaching building and it was already very late at night.
After Teacher Kobayashi recovered a little, he waved goodbye decisively and left quickly.
"Toru Amuro" glanced at the remaining people - one Jiang Xia + four children, and thought about the car he drove today.
Then I found that although it was a bit crowded, it could actually accommodate four children in the back seat.
If that doesn't work, she can also let Jiang Xia hold Conan and sit in the passenger seat next to her. At this time, it should be difficult to be caught by the traffic police...
As Vermouth thought about it, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
She turned the car key on her finger very naturally: "Get in the car, I'll take you home."
Jiang Xia glanced at the increasingly thin murderous aura on "Amuro Toru", and then thought about the usefulness of the Junior Detective Team: "No need, their homes are not far from here, I will take them back."
“…”
Vermouth stopped turning the key, showing a hint of reluctance.
But considering that she is now wearing Bourbon's skin, and Bourbon doesn't seem like the kind of person who would make such an invitation again and again... plus Conan's eyes were looking at her more and more wary and strange, Vermouth finally swallowed her words.
...She was planning to come back as Toru Amuro for fun, so she couldn't let the cool guy get too alert.
So after being rejected, "Toru Amuro" nodded naturally, turned around and walked away with a leisurely pace, but for some reason he seemed to be walking a little slowly.
But it wasn't far from her car after all.
Not long after, her somewhat lonely figure disappeared in the car, and the car quickly drove away and disappeared at the end of the road.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing up the fallen leaves in front of the school gate.
Now, Jiang Xia and a few children were the only ones left here - the director ran away faster than Teacher Kobayashi, and Jiang Xia didn't even notice when he slipped away.
"Let's go." Jiang Xia waved at the children, ready to send them home one by one, fulfilling the duties of an elder, and... also to see if there were any sudden murders along the way, or any screams that pierced the night sky.
…
Half an hour later.
Jiang Xia watched Ayumi's back as she quickly ran into the gate, and sighed slightly in disappointment.
Genta and Mitsuhiko's homes are closer to the school, so the two children had already arrived home long before they arrived at Ayumi's house.
Now Ayumi has also gone back, but nothing happened on the way...
Jiang Xia took the only remaining Conan to the Maori Detective Agency, no longer holding much hope for anything that would trigger the case tonight.
——In my impression, Conan always has to be with someone to frequently encounter murders. When he is completely alone, the number of cases will be relatively less. Perhaps this is also a kind of restraint on the power of death in this world... Jiang Xia's thoughts wandered for a second, and he quickly got back to the topic.
In short, now that there are no other supporting characters staying with Conan, the probability of a murder is actually very low.
Jiang Xia, who was full of expectations for the Young Detective Team, felt a slight sense of disappointment, as if he had spent half an hour breaking a strangely shaped stone in a free exploration game, and then found out that it was really just a stone with no surprises hidden inside.
...Fortunately, he has plenty of time, so a short while won't matter.
Besides, they had already made an appointment to watch a movie together tomorrow, and he had already confirmed the situation with Teacher Kobayashi, so it would not be easy for the kids to find an excuse to delay him.
Jiang Xia felt that a new mysterious gift package was placed in front of him.
His mentality quickly became calm and expectant, and his pace became relaxed.
…
Conan could not understand his neighbor's ups and downs in mood, nor could he detect the subtle changes in Jiang Xia's expression in the dim light.
He yawned and saw that the troublesome children had left, so he decided to find Jiang Xia to ask about Toru Amuro.
However, just as he opened his mouth, a vibrating ringtone suddenly came from the side.
——Jiang Xia’s cell phone rang.
In order to avoid missing out on any messages and, in turn, certain important clients, Jiang Xia had carefully switched his phone back to vibrate mode after discovering that neither Teacher Kobayashi nor the director would show any murderous intent.
The one ringing is the everyday cell phone.
This was just right, otherwise if it was the organization's private phone that rang, he would have to consider how to get Conan away, or how to pretend that he didn't hear Gin's call.
Jiang Xia took out his cell phone and glanced at the caller ID.
It's Dr. Agasa calling.
“…”
If I remember correctly, Dr. Agasa should still be attending the society in Kyushu.
It was because of the business trip that the old man asked him to help with the task of "inviting the kids to the movies"... I wonder if the doctor will come back early.
Jiang Xia answered the phone hesitantly, and secretly decided that no matter what the doctor said, he would go to the movies with them tomorrow, or at least meet them by chance in the cinema.
Although the Godmera series of monster movies that the Junior Detective Team loves are a bit too young for a high school student, Jiang Xiatongzhi is a person without a childhood. Isn't it reasonable for him to be interested in children's movies...
A series of thoughts flashed through my mind like lightning.
Jiang Xia quickly pressed the answer button in a normal tone: "Hello? Doctor."
Dr. Agasa's cheerful voice came from the receiver: "How was it? Did you enjoy the movie?"
"Actually, I couldn't go today..." Jiang Xia briefly described what happened tonight, "So I made an appointment with them to go tomorrow."
"Haha, those kids are still so naughty." Dr. Agasa twirled his fat beard, thinking of the naughty but lively appearance of the kids, and his tone became relaxed.
