Chapter 730: Attempted Murder of Boss
Conan was startled, and he steadied himself and looked back. He saw Jiang Xia approaching him at some point, and it was Jiang Xia who bumped into him just now.
Conan touched the back of his head in confusion, suspecting that Jiang Xia's sense of responsibility was getting in the way and he came over to help clean up the mess. However, he was distracted by the sudden car accident just now, so he accidentally tripped over himself on the way over.
I was just about to pat my neighbor's leg and tell him not to worry, when the phone sank slightly, followed by a short "beep".
Conan was stunned again and turned his gaze back. He saw that when he was looking at Jiang Xia, the man in black on the ground reached out and hung up the emergency number he had just dialed.
Conan: “……?”
The man in black let go of his cell phone, raised his head slightly, and scanned the surroundings, finally stopping on him and Jiang Xia.
After a thoughtful pause, "Kurosawa Sa" said, "I'm very busy and don't have time to go to the hospital for a check-up. If you feel guilty, why not send me to that hotel."
As the man in black spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the south.
Conan looked over there and saw a tall and magnificent building in the distance. He had some impression of that hotel. Its first floor was a multi-functional banquet hall, where many large-scale events were held. It was heard that there would be a highly anticipated game launch event soon.
"..." Conan was originally a little suspicious, but at this moment, his suspicion of the man in black was alleviated a little.
——Could the person they bumped into actually be a senior white-collar worker who takes his work as his life?
If he was going to be late for something important, this kind of workaholic might indeed ignore the inspection and go to the agreed place to show up on time... Come to think of it, this guy was not angry at all for being knocked down by them and missing something important... Because of his guilty conscience, Conan's impression of the man in black actually improved a little, and he felt that he had a good temper.
But if I don’t go to the hospital, what if something goes wrong?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Jiang Xia finally come to his senses. He heard the request from the man in black, walked over without saying a word, helped the man onto the motorcycle, and took the briefcase away with him, as if he really intended to obey the victim's request and send him to work instead of going to the hospital.
Conan: “…”
Could it be that the victim of the car accident died suddenly on the way? Conan was very worried about this - although his vision was blocked by the helmet just now and he could not see clearly, he could imagine how violent the collision was just by listening to the noise. Judging from the various traces on the ground, the man in black was indeed knocked away for a long distance at that time...
…
Thirty minutes later.
Conan stood on the side of the road with a conflicted look on his face, sometimes looking at the hotel gate, sometimes looking at Jiang Xia.
Just now, Jiang Xia waited with him silently for a while. Seeing that the man in black had not come out again, he took out a tool bag from somewhere and started banging on his motorcycle, as if he was repairing it.
Conan squatted nearby and watched for a moment, looked at his watch, and then looked at the hotel building behind him.
The hotel was peaceful and calm, not like some delayed workaholic crash.
After observing the situation, Conan looked at Jiang Xia again, and felt that this couldn't go on - Jiang Xia didn't look quite normal. Although he wasn't as distracted as before, he still occasionally became dazed, and was obviously deeply shocked by the car accident. Conan thought about it and felt that in many ways, he should change his environment.
He then walked towards Jiang Xia and suggested, "That man went in without saying anything just now. He hasn't come out for such a long time. He may have forgotten that we are here. And he seemed to be in a hurry to meet someone just now. No one has called an ambulance for him until now. The problem should not be serious... Let's leave a note for the guard to pass on, and then go about our business."
Jiang Xia came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, took out his phone and turned it on to check. Finally, he nodded: "Okay."
The two left their contact information with the security guard, asking him to pass it on when he saw the curly-haired man in black coming out.
However, Jiang Xia felt that this note should not be handed in - there was no banquet held here today. It was just to enter the hall, and no credentials were required. So just now, after Matsuda Jinpei drove the puppet in, he threw away the bag and scattered the puppets as soon as he turned the corner - the bag contained a few stones picked up from the roadside, opened the window and threw them out, but they did not enter the bushes and disappeared in an instant.
The friendship established once should not be easily forgotten.
In this way, in addition to showing Conan his new vest, it also creates a reasonable intersection between the two parties - Conan is not as cautious as Haibara Ai. When facing suspicious people, he prefers to get to the bottom of things.
In the future, when Conan meets "Kurosawa Sa" again, it will be easier for him to attribute the intersection between the two parties to today's car accident, rather than immediately associating "Kurosawa Sa" with Jiang Xia - although as the number of events increases and the intersections with the Black Organization increase, Jiang Xia feels that his identity as a "peripheral member" will be discovered sooner or later, but before that, there are still many fun things to be discovered...
…
After getting back on the road, Conan didn't feel comfortable bringing up the topic of "going to the social gathering to stare at the strange muscular guy" which had caused the car accident.
But soon, he discovered that Jiang Xia was actually considerate enough to remember this incident and went all the way to the place where the social gathering was held.
Moreover, although he was still a little distracted on the road, his speed of driving the motorcycle decreased a lot, and he finally looked like a law-abiding high school student.
This time, although Conan had a lot to say, and even wanted to discuss the suspiciousness of the "workaholic" man in black, but thinking about the consequences of talking to Jiang Xia just now, he finally shut his mouth tightly.
…
We soon arrived at our destination.
In front of me is a spacious courtyard with a plaque with the words "Jiechuan" hanging at the door and a half-high fence around it.
Looking through the railings, the yard is covered with lush vegetation that is carefully arranged, which not only enhances the yard's aesthetics but also cleverly blocks some prying views from outside.
Conan stood on tiptoe and tried to look inside for a long time, but saw nothing. He only vaguely heard the lively laughter coming on the breeze.
He imagined the cheerful social scene inside and his forehead jumped. Without Jiang Xia's help, he climbed up the railing that was several times taller than him, under the slightly shocked gazes of his classmates, flipped over, and landed neatly.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Conan turned around and confirmed the plan with him: "Wait for me to change my position, and then you go and knock on the door."
Jiang Xia nodded silently.
Then he took two steps to the side and looked into the yard from afar.
As they were some distance away from the house, his perception was a little vague, but the ghosts could clearly feel it at this moment - there was murderous aura in the house, and there was more than one aura.
Conan is really useful.
