Chapter 645: Public Security Shark Incident
However, what Conan did not expect was that because of the incident at the Twilight Villa, Hattori Heiji actually met Jiangxia in Tottori Prefecture.
In addition, Conan remembered the email he received from Hattori Heiji not long ago. According to Hattori Heiji's observation, Amuro Toru did not feel guilty when facing the police, and his attitude and behavior did not seem like a criminal. Jiang Xia himself did not look like a hostage at all, and in the perfect environment, he did not have any intention of asking for help, but seemed to be in a good mood.
In this regard, Toyama Kazuha proposed a new path that Conan had never imagined - Toru Amuro was following the instructions of a mysterious psychologist and bringing Jiang Xia out to adjust his mentality.
“…”
After thinking about it, Conan felt that although this assumption was outrageous, the "human trafficker" theory also had many loopholes.
As he thought about it, he sighed. Forget it. At present, he didn't know where Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru were, so he might as well reserve his opinion and think more about the optimistic speculation about psychological treatment...
…
Soon, the three of them trudged through the muddy path and saw the sign of Aoiya Hotel.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Last night, they were trapped in their car by a sudden storm and a car accident.
Although there were some emergency food in the car and they could barely get through the night, it was still not as comfortable as staying in a hotel.
The three people looked at the hotel right in front of them, quickened their pace at the same time, and entered the lobby.
…
I put my luggage down at the front desk and felt the relaxing and cozy atmosphere of the hotel.
Just as I was about to ask for registration, a familiar figure suddenly passed by in the corridor next to me - a man with conspicuous blond hair walked from the stairs to the restaurant.
Mao Lilan glanced at it with her sharp eyes, took a look, and greeted in surprise: "Mr. Amuro!"
She used to run into Jiang Xia's boss occasionally when she went out with him. And they just ran into each other at a car accident scene in Tokyo a few days ago. Therefore, Mao Lilan remembered this boss of the detective agency with obvious features and who looked like a foreigner very clearly.
In addition, because Toru Amuro had a very friendly image when he was not Bourbon or Rei Furuya, Ran Mouri had a good impression of him.
Toru Amuro is also good at remembering people.
As he was walking in the corridor, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the side, and his feet froze slightly.
After a moment, Toru Amuro took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mentality, turned around with a smile, and walked a little closer.
He exchanged a few pleasantries with the Maori father and daughter, who were barely acquaintances, and then politely said, "I was just planning to go to the restaurant." He intended to take the opportunity to escape, but he was stopped by the hungry Maori Kogoro, who wanted to hear what delicious dishes he had here.
Conan stood behind the Maori father and daughter with a low presence, secretly looking at Amuro Toru with a slightly suspicious look.
——Although it was not obvious, just now, when Toru Amuro was stopped by Xiaolan, he looked a little abnormal, as if he was implicitly resistant to everything... Could it be that this mysterious boss had done something wrong, so he didn't want to contact Jiang Xia's neighbors and friends?
Thinking of this, Conan poked his head out from the side of Mao Lilan's legs and asked innocently, "Where is Brother Jiang Xia?"
Amuro Toru: "..." Sealed in the bed and sleeping, I hope the seal can last a little longer, at least so that I can have a good meal...
In his heart, he secretly complained about Jiang Xia's terrible physique.
At the same time, thinking of the camera hidden in Jiang Xia's room, and then looking down at Conan, the suspicious child, Toru Amuro felt that it was difficult for him to explain why Jiang Xia did not sleep in his own room, but instead went to his boss' room to sleep on the floor in the middle of the night.
So he calmly changed the subject: "I don't know, maybe he's still in the room, or maybe in the restaurant - the food here is good, with a lot of fresh mountain delicacies. I'll go find a table first, and you can come and find him after you put your luggage away..."
Before he could finish his words, a terrified scream of "Ah--!!" suddenly came from upstairs.
Toru Amuro: "..."
Maori Ran, Maori Kogoro and Conan were stunned.
After coming to their senses, the three of them rushed towards the place where the scream came from under Amuro Toru's complicated gaze.
As soon as she took a step, she saw a cleaner stumbling down the stairs from the second floor. When she reached the last few steps, the woman tripped over the slightly raised edge of the steps and fell headfirst to the ground.
A figure came close and caught her steadily.
Ran Mao Li is very cowardly when she encounters ghosts, but she is very reliable at other times.
She supported the waiter and said gently, "Don't be afraid. What's wrong?"
Her usually gentle eyes flashed with a sharp light. After she asked, she looked up at the stairs, her frail body ready to kick any attacker who followed.
However, after a while of vigilance, no one from the second floor came down to chase them. Only a few onlookers who heard the noise poked their heads out in confusion.
"...Someone's dead, someone's dead!" The cleaner paused for two seconds and finally came to his senses.
She grabbed the person in front of her and stammered about her experience:
"I, I heard that Jiang Xia lives in our store, so I wanted to meet him near his room and ask him if he wants breakfast service. If possible, I'd like to ask for his autograph... But when I passed by, I found that his door was ajar, and no one responded after I reminded him. Then I pushed the door open and saw inside, inside..."
She raised her hands to cover her face and burst into tears like a fangirl who had lost her idol: "He hanged himself!"
Conan: “……?”
...Hattori! You still said that Amuro Toru is not a criminal!
Maori Ran and Maori Kogoro had no prejudice against Amuro Toru. When they suddenly heard this topic, they were stunned and it took them a second to digest what the waiter was saying.
They first thought the waiter was talking nonsense, but suddenly they remembered that Jiang Xia had a similar criminal record a year ago.
Thinking of this, the two of them changed their expressions slightly and ran to the second floor quickly. Now is not the time to grieve. If the person had just been hung up, then if they were put down immediately, there might be a chance to save him. On the bright side, didn't they catch up last time...
When you get to the second floor, you can tell which room is Jiang Xia's without asking.
——When the waiter saw the person hanging just now, he was so panicked that he accidentally dropped the cleaning tools on the spot, blocking Jiang Xia's room door, and also screamed loudly.
Therefore, now, several other doors on the same floor have been opened, and several tenants are looking towards Room 207 with confusion and vigilance. After determining the general direction from which the scream came, and then seeing the door stuck by the vacuum cleaner, it is not difficult to guess that there is something horrible in there, which caused the waiter to scream and run around as if he had seen a ghost.
