Chapter 459 "Killed?" "Killed"
Jiang Xia nodded and walked towards the stairwell with the children.
The "Masakazu" in 205 Shima Masakazu is generally pronounced as "MASAKATU", while the "Asuka" in Shima Asuka is commonly pronounced as (ASUKA), which indeed perfectly matches the "M to A" information on the wedding ring. They just glanced through the mailbox and did not see any other couples' names that met the requirements except 205.
The person who threw the ring for help might be "Shima Asuka" who lives in 205.
…
This apartment building has an elevator, but it's just climbing the second floor, and the elevator may not be as fast as the stairs.
Several people quickly went up the stairs to the second floor.
Jiang Xia walked down the last step and just raised his hand to close the door of the stairwell. Before he could push it open, he suddenly heard the sound of someone turning the doorknob in the corridor.
——From the direction, it happens to be the suspicious 205.
…Someone came out from there.
Having been a detective for a long time, Jiang Xia also developed a sneaky habit. He instinctively stopped and stopped behind the half-open door of the stairwell.
Conan and Haibara Ai also stopped immediately.
The other three children were a little slow to react, but seeing Jiang Xia listening attentively, they didn't dare to ask questions like "What's wrong?" and could only stand there quietly like chickens, pretending to be a piece of wood.
Soon, the sound of keys was heard.
Conan heard the sound of the door being locked, and took advantage of the chaos to peek and saw two people in black clothes and sunglasses walking out of Room 205. One man and one woman.
The woman put away the keys and complained to the man with a hint of anger: "You didn't take care of the aftermath. I've told you so many times not to kill directly..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Time is tight and we don't have time to deal with those things. Let's go." The man interrupted impatiently.
This bloody conversation floated through the corridor and reached the ears of the people hiding in the stairwell and eavesdropping.
Several children turned pale.
Huihara Ai also frowned, and the little hand hanging by her side moved slightly, instinctively pressing the pocket containing the anesthetic needle.
Next to her, Conan subconsciously lowered his head to look at his sneakers, then remembered something and glanced at Jiang Xia, especially at the place where Jiang Xia hid the baton.
Conan's eyes moved back and forth between the "sneakers" and the "baton" several times. Finally, he stopped flipping the switch of the sneakers and gave Jiang Xia a thumbs-up, which meant "you go first" - he felt that Jiang Xia would like this kind of segment very much...
At the same time, Haibara Ai raised her hand and grabbed Jiang Xia's clothes.
She glanced at Conan, then picked up her phone and pointed: Call the police, what if those two people have guns.
"It's okay." Jiang Xia pressed Huiyuan Ai's phone, "I'll go over and take a look first."
Before Haibara Ai could react, she saw Jiang Xia had left the stairwell and walked towards the two men in black who looked very suspicious.
...and he didn't even take out his baton; he went there empty-handed.
The two fake kids looked at Jiang Xia's hands that were holding nothing and looked at each other in confusion.
After a moment, Conan suddenly remembered Jiang Xia's baton, which had been specially treated by Dr. Agasa and was unlikely to cause injuries when hit, and the boxing dynamometer in the game hall that was broken by Jiang Xia's punch.
"..." Jiang Xia without the baton seems even more dangerous
Conan's face changed slightly, and he quickly ran out of the stairwell, trying to prevent the bloody scene that might happen next.
Before he could run there, Jiang Xia's calm voice suddenly rang out in the quiet corridor.
——Jiang Xia met two people who walked out of No. 205 Middle School.
He nodded and greeted them, then said in a tone as if he was chatting about the weather: "I just heard you guys were talking about the aftermath. Did you kill someone?"
Haibara Ai, who was eavesdropping nervously, said: “……??”
...This is too direct!
What if the thug on the other side suddenly pulled out a gun! ... On the worst case scenario, there were two of them, and that might mean two guns!
Haibara Ai nervously slipped out of the stairwell door and secretly moved to the fire extinguisher in the corridor, wanting to use it as a weapon to give Jiang Xia a little help in the chaos.
However, things were different from what Haibara Ai imagined.
——The corridor did not immediately turn into a melee.
The two suspicious men in black were stunned when they heard Jiang Xia's words.
Afterwards, the woman in black couldn’t help laughing. She waved her hands and said, “It’s true that we killed some living things, but we didn’t kill people—we were talking about bugs.”
She pointed at the man in black next to her and said, "He always crushes bugs to death. The slime and carcasses left behind are hard to clean up."
Having said that, the woman suddenly took off her sunglasses and leaned in to take a closer look at Jiang Xia.
After that, his tone became full of surprise: "But it's no wonder that you think of murders. After all, you often come into contact with murders. Little detective, can you sign an autograph for me? I am also your fan. Not only have I collected clippings and variety show videos, I also have your limited edition photo album at home."
As she spoke, the woman in black quickly rummaged through her bag, took out a notepad with a slightly exaggerated cover, and handed it to Jiang Xia with a smile, along with the pen pinned on it.
Jiang Xia looked at her and raised his hand to take the note.
Yoshida Ayumi was shocked to see this scene, and couldn't help but screamed softly from a few meters away: "She must be trying to make you let your guard down!"
"Haha, are these kids playing a detective game?" The woman glanced in the direction of the children, but didn't care much, and her attention quickly returned to the note.
Jiang Xia has already signed.
But the other party happily asked for more: "Please add 'to Asuka', so that it can become a memorable and exclusive signature~"
Conan was secretly watching her with his anesthetic watch.
When he heard this, he was stunned: "...Your name is Asuka?!"
...Isn’t this the name of the resident of Room 205?
Asuka Shima received the "exclusive signature" and was opening her wallet to carefully put the signature away.
Suddenly hearing Conan's words, she pulled out the driver's license with a photo next to her and showed it to the children who were addicted to the detective game: "Yes. It's a nice name. You can bring your brother to my house more often in the future."
Dao Zhenghe next to her had a face as black as the bottom of a pot, and he dragged her away angrily.
The five children looked up in silence, their heads turning as they followed the couple's walking away.
It was not until the two disappeared at the stairs that the children turned around and looked at each other.
——The person named “Shima Asuka” who was thought to have been kidnapped or even killed is actually still alive.
Huihara Ai was silent for a moment, then turned her gaze towards the door of Room 205 and whispered to Jiang Xia, "... maybe it's the other way around, this couple are the robbers, they kidnapped other people. And the hostages somehow got the kidnapper's ring and asked for help?"
