Chapter 461: Are you there? Why did you wait for me?
Jiang Xia looked at Room 605 that was mercilessly closed in front of him, and then looked at himself who was locked outside the door: "..."
...Why is it that when Conan is solving the mystery, the suspects just listen in shock and don't react.
When they got there, the kidnappers slammed the door shut.
...Is this reasonable?
The feeling of being rejected is unfamiliar and unpleasant.
Jiang Xia stepped back a little with a hint of subtle dissatisfaction, and at the same time pulled away Haibara Ai and Conan who were standing by the door.
Then he knocked on the door again calmly.
This time with my feet.
With a loud bang, the sturdy wooden door flew out with the door chain and metal hinge, and fell down with a loud bang, hitting the feet of the woman who was walking quickly back to the storage room.
The violent vibration almost made her jump. Hasegawa Ikuyo froze for a moment, then turned her head sharply. She saw the door at her feet that had lost its protective effect, and the young detective who was walking towards her leisurely and unfolding his baton.
Hasegawa Ikuyo: “…”
No, that won’t happen.
...There shouldn't be a young, strong and handsome guy in the world who would suddenly come and beat up a weak woman like her.
She stumbled and was forced into a corner, her legs weakened and she fell to the ground. Then she looked at Jiang Xia approaching, and at Jiang Xia's shadow, which was elongated by the light and covered her...
Finally, when the baton was raised, Hasegawa Ikuyo let out a howl with a pale face, covered his head in despair, and closed his eyes.
“…”
Jiang Xia looked at the murderous aura that was rushing down from her body, paused for a moment, and slowly put away the baton, feeling bored.
…Whether from the number of murderous people or their attitude, the robber was probably only the one in front of him.
Maybe the woman realized that under the current circumstances, she would not be able to kill anyone successfully, so her murderous aura naturally faded.
Jiang Xia sighed, instructed Conan to give the woman the anesthetic needle, and then let Haibara Ai take the fish and shrimp home first.
After that, he called the police.
…
The children soon found the tied up Satomi Uehara in the storage room of Room 605.
——The wedding ring that Jiang Xia and the others picked up was indeed thrown down by Uehara Satomi.
But the owner of the ring was not her, but her husband.
After getting married, Satomi Uehara accidentally gained weight and could no longer wear her ring.
Few men in the island country wear rings after marriage, and her husband is the same. So Uehara Satomi took her husband's ring and wore it. The "M" and "A" on the inner ring are naturally reversed.
The children gathered around Satomi Uehara, on the one hand to comfort this aunt who was unfortunately kidnapped, and on the other hand to have a reason to separate from Jiang Xia - Jiang Xia was still standing next to the female kidnapper.
Jiang Xia picked up the murderous aura and looked at the female kidnapper on the ground with boredom, wanting to see if her desire to survive could make her have the courage to burst out with some murderous aura.
But before he could figure out how to squeeze them, someone suddenly rushed in through the broken door.
——Officer Sato quickly ran up to him.
After the car stopped, the police officer breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the suspect, although he had been covering his face and sobbing, had not collapsed on the ground.
…It seems that the kidnappers did not get beaten this time.
...Jiang Xia finally did "next time for sure". This may be a good start.
Sato Miwako was actually moved for a moment. She felt a sense of accomplishment, seeing a genius correct his bad habits and become more perfect under her advice.
Jiang Xia looked at her doubtfully, and smiled in response to her gratified look. No matter what, it was right to smile...
…
Soon, other police officers arrived and took away Hasegawa Ikuyo, who was still staring at the door on the ground and trembling.
According to Hasegawa Ikuyo's confession and the results of the police's investigation of surveillance footage in various stores, this woman was indeed the owner of the stack of suspicious receipts that Jiang Xia picked up.
——Hasegawa Ikuyo used to be a strong career woman with a bright future.
However, a while ago, she embezzled public funds, was reported by Akihiko Uehara, and was fired.
In Tokyo, this level of hatred is enough to breed a murder.
Hasegawa Ikuyo baked some cupcakes mixed with "Crone" today and pretended to visit, intending to kill Uehara Akihiko. However, Uehara Akihiko was away due to some emergency matters. She only found Uehara Akihiko's wife. She hurriedly changed her plan and tied up his wife first, preparing to wait for Uehara Akihiko to come back and use her as a hostage.
…
Around seven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Xia and several children walked out of the police station.
Jiang Xia was in a good mood - while waiting to take the statement, he made an appointment with the other kids to go out and see a movie together.
As expected, the children would not refuse him if he asked sincerely face to face.
In this way, there will be another wave of predetermined murderous aura or ghosts coming in.
Jiang Xia returned home happily with a newly fulfilled schedule, ready to have a meal with Huibara Ai.
…
The day for the movie date soon arrived.
That afternoon, Jiang Xia packed up and took the subway to Shinagawa District.
There is a cinema nearby that often shows Gomera series movies. Although the cinema is old and not very popular, it is popular among children because of its low prices and large quantity.
…
As a result, when they arrived at Shinagawa Station and just got off the subway, Jiang Xia's phone suddenly vibrated.
——Someone called. It was the same phone I used everyday.
Jiang Xia took out his cell phone and found that the caller was Conan.
He picked up the phone: "Are you facing a case? Don't worry, wait for me there, I'll be there soon."
"...No rush, no rush."
Conan glanced at the three kids who were winking at him crazily, sighed, and hesitated to speak: "Well, you know about the recent serial arson cases, right?"
"Yeah." Jiang Xia glanced at the old man sitting on the bench next to him.
The old man was holding a newspaper in his hand, and the page facing Jiangxia was accompanied by a photo of the fire-fighting scene - it happened to be a report about the arson case.
Jiang Xia copied the answer on the spot: "I heard that as of last night, five arson incidents had occurred, but the police have not yet found any clues about the arsonist."
Conan nodded, vaguely feeling that Jiang Xia's words were different from usual, a bit official... But that's not the point. The point is:
"Yes, but to be precise, it should be 'In the first four arson cases, the police failed to obtain any clues about the murderer'.
"In fact, a witness has been found for the fifth arson case that occurred last night. Ayumi saw a man who was suspected to be the murderer near the fire scene yesterday."
As Jiang Xia listened, he felt that the topic was going in the wrong direction.
Sure enough, the next second, Conan's slightly guilty voice sounded:
"…So we probably can't go to the movie. We have to go with Ayumi to check the location today. We're already there. Um, why don't you go back first?"
