Chapter 664: Ghosts Have No Conscience
Amuro Toru was silent for a moment.
“…” dead? ?
...The timing is too coincidental, is this really just a sudden death?
In an instant, countless elements of this case flashed through his mind, especially the "mysterious man". His eyes shifted back and forth.
beside.
Jinpei Matsuda was holding the shikigami given by Jiang Xia, thinking about his life as a ghost.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a murderous aura with the smell of coffee wafting towards me.
It happened to be close, so I just grabbed two handfuls.
As he was pulling, he suddenly became puzzled as to why his old classmate was so murderous, and his movements paused slightly.
As soon as he stopped, new murderous intent surged out.
Jinpei Matsuda hesitated for 0.1 second, then stopped to think and continued to pull.
...You can think about it anytime, but the murderous aura of my old classmates is time-limited and will disappear after a while.
Coffee also suits the preferences of adults. They are quite satisfied with the taste and don't want to waste it.
…
Jiang Xia also noticed the murderous aura wafting from the side.
He glanced at Toru Amuro and saw that his boss was thinking about something and looked shocked.
Xiaobai is now clinging to the top of Amuro Toru's head, peeping consciously.
Seeing that Toru Amuro had not switched the phone interface and could not see anything new, it floated back to Jiang Xia from Toru Amuro, muttering something to inform him.
Jiang Xia understood.
In the hotel, the slow-witted Gunma County police finally discovered the death of Kampo Nobita. Previously, the police thought that Kampo Nobita, the lawless lunatic, had not slept all night and failed to escape, so he was catching up on sleep in despair. But when they were about to ask him about the details of the mysterious man, Kampo Nobita could not be woken up no matter how hard they tried. When they ran over and pushed him, they found that he was already dead.
...In short, no matter how much it looks like sudden death, the timing is indeed very coincidental.
Moreover, in the eyes of the public security officers who know more, it is indeed easy to associate this incident with "Kurosawa Sa" who has appeared once before and is clearly targeting the divine treasure Nobita.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia poked the ghost next to him.
No one knows who the boss's murderous intent is directed at, Jinpei Matsuda, or the evil forces behind him.
But no matter what, one thing is certain - the new vest is very useful and versatile. In addition to taking the blame for Uzo and using it to get the organization's labor, it can actually squeeze out some murderous spirit from the boss who is lacking in murderous spirit...
…
In the hotel, Conan was unable to follow and observe Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru all the time.
——After being discovered by Maori Ran that he was "making trouble", Maori Kogoro drove them back to their room not long after. The three of them spent the whole night in the car yesterday, and they needed to rest today.
Mao Lilan already has experience in dealing with naughty children. Conan tried to escape many times, but failed every time.
When the death of the sacred treasure Nobita caused a commotion and he was finally able to leave the room with Mouri Ran, Conan discovered that Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru were gone.
In addition, the divine treasure Nobita is actually dead.
Conan frowned and thought for a moment, thinking about the past two days' experience and his suspicion that Amuro Toru "used the murder case to achieve some unknown purpose"...
He found an empty corner and quietly called Dr. Agasa.
"Doctor, please help me check Amuro Toru again - the boss of the detective agency in Jiang Xia... No, not to check his identity, but to see if there is anyone around him..."
I originally wanted to ask whether various murders happen frequently.
But halfway through his words, Conan suddenly remembered that he couldn't investigate this way - when it comes to homicides, he and Jiang Xia are the ones who have the most cases around them, and detectives like Hattori also often encounter quite a few.
...If we want to find out the problem with Toru Amuro, we need other more specific limitations.
Conan thought for a moment, and continued, "Look at the cases around him to see if the murderer mentioned words like 'being instigated', 'murder game' or 'mysterious man'. Also, see if there are any cases where the murderer was found but died 'accidentally' soon after, resulting in a hasty conclusion of the case."
"Ah? Oh, okay." Dr. Agasa listened and hurriedly wrote down the key words he heard.
After rereading his notes, he realized, "Is there something wrong with the boss in Jiangxia?"
Next to her, Haibara Ai, who was passing by, moved her ears and stopped.
She picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip, while at the same time, she moved closer as if nothing had happened and stood behind Dr. Agasa to eavesdrop.
The hearing of the elderly is often not that sensitive, and the receiver of Dr. Agasa's home phone is set to a relatively loud volume. It is not difficult to hear clearly what is going on inside.
Therefore, when Dr. Agasa confirmed the details with Conan, Haibara Ai successfully overheard the general situation.
Then she fell silent.
Toru Amuro... She remembered Jiang Xia secretly told her that this was someone from the organization.
If we investigate him, won’t the organization come and kill him to silence him?
Haibara Ai silently took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and decided to keep a close eye on Dr. Agasa and secretly trip him up when he was investigating.
In addition, I have to find a way to get rid of the piece of note paper and the notebook with writing on it underneath.
Speaking of which, Jiang Xia has been out for several days. When will he be able to complete this dangerous mission? Recently, she has developed a lot of new recipes for snacks, but she can't send them to Jiang Xia, so she has no motivation to make them...
…
The other side.
In an alley in Tokyo, dozens of kilometers away from here.
Gin called Vermouth and said simply, "Go to the Metropolitan Police Department to get me some information."
"..." In Gunma Prefecture, Vermouth sat in the driver's seat, one hand on the steering wheel, looking out the window at the scenery outside, "Are you in a hurry? If not, it will be later."
Having said that, she knew it wasn't urgent. Otherwise, Gin would have told her the task in advance, unless there was some emergency.
Sure enough, the answer came quickly from the receiver: "Next week at the latest."
“……”That’s still five or six days, enough.
Vermouth responded perfunctorily: "I understand. Send me the details and I'll disguise myself and go in to take a look."
The intelligence matter was simply finalized, but Gin did not hang up the phone immediately afterwards.
"Why can't we get it until later?" He heard the problem and asked cautiously, "The FBI is watching you. Or are you not in Tokyo?"
Vermouth thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide: "I have nothing to do, so I came to see Uzo - he and Bourbon have already arrived in Gunma, and judging from the direction they are heading, they are about to start handling the mission."
She was too lazy to hide her interest in Jiang Xia from Gin. She couldn't hide it anyway, Gin was not a fool.
And if you think about it carefully, her interest in Uzo is actually very reasonable. Who wouldn't like such a talented two-faced detective who is still young and in a stage where it is convenient to shape his image?
In addition, she rarely suffers losses from others, but when she tried to catch Wuzo to check it out, she was suppressed. Although she herself does not have strange attributes such as masochism, in the eyes of others, it is reasonable for her to be interested in difficult targets.
