Chapter 767 I’ve been brainwashed!
The construction site where the children were was right next to Miantan Yoshi's family.
Although Conan is a child physically, his mental age is already in high school. He always feels uncomfortable sneaking into someone else's construction site to play baseball with a few real kids.
While playing with the child, Conan looked around with a slightly guilty feeling.
At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of reflection in his peripheral vision - the reflection was certainly not from Subaru Okiya's glasses, but from somewhere farther away.
Looking carefully, the flash came from next to the construction site.
The top floor of a magnificent villa.
Conan put his hands on the awning and looked over. He found that behind the window there was an elderly man with gray hair. The man was burly and held an old-fashioned telescope in front of him. The reflection just now was from the telescope. Although he couldn't see the face behind the telescope clearly, he always felt that the man's expression was very unfriendly, even a little gloomy.
"..." Conan silently got goosebumps.
It would be fine to just watch them play baseball, but why do we have to stare at them through a telescope?
...It's a bit scary.
Could it be that they were too noisy? This kind of place is indeed easy to amplify sound, and when children are excited, their voices are particularly penetrating.
As he was thinking, Conan suddenly realized something and looked at Okiya Subaru.
——These “kids” are fine, but if this graduate student is arrested, even if he is only detained for a few days, it may affect his ability to complete the thesis that looks so daunting.
Conan was just about to remind this somewhat strange adult.
But before he could open his mouth, Kojima Genta yelled and swung the baseball hard. The baseball drew a beautiful parabola, passed accurately over everyone's heads, crossed two walls, and fell into the yard of the neighboring house.
——It was the family who was staring at them through a telescope and observing them quietly.
Conan: “…”
Okiya Subaru: “…” Great, what good luck.
…
The other side.
After the taxi left, Jiang Xia and Masao Koda walked to the gate of Yoshikazu Watanuki's yard.
Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps - many people were approaching this side.
Jiang Xia paused, turned his head and saw several familiar children and a familiar adult.
Jiang Xia: “…”
He actually managed to lure the Boy Detective Team over here. Okiya Subaru is really smart...
He rang the doorbell, turned his eyes away from the Junior Detective Team, and looked at Okiya Subaru with a slightly puzzled look, as if he didn't know why this strange man was hanging out with kids he knew.
At the same time.
The three naughty kids were a little slow to recognize Jiang Xia.
I instinctively began to examine myself and review my experiences that day.
- Playing baseball on someone else's construction site, hitting the ball into someone else's private house... In addition, going back in time, their baseball also hit the head of an innocent passerby, and the victim was right there...
Thinking of Jiangxia's consistent attitude towards "bad guys", the three children stopped running towards the gate of Mian Guanyi's courtyard and dared not get close.
Jiang Xia spoke in a friendly manner, seeming to be concerned about the children's condition: "Why are you so flustered? What happened?"
Haibara Ai tried to ease the relationship between Jiang Xia and the other children, and moved aside to make way for Yoshida Ayumi, who was hiding behind her.
As a result, as soon as she moved, Yoshida Ayumi immediately moved in sync with her, like a shadow clinging closely behind her, and failed to achieve the desired effect at all.
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
She sighed, looked at Jiang Xia, and had to do it herself: "When we were playing baseball nearby, the ball accidentally flew into this family's yard, so I wanted to ask the owner if we could go in and find the ball..."
"Oh, it's strange that Watanuki Yoshi will agree to this." Koda Masao couldn't help but sneer at the side, "There's a body buried in his yard. If he lets you in and you dig it out, he'll have to bury a few more new bodies."
Upon hearing this, Okiya Subaru interrupted in surprise: "Corpse?"
...pretend to be an ordinary passerby who was shocked by Koda Masao's words.
The day before yesterday, after Uzo took him to see the body, he told him the whole story of the case.
So even though Okiya Subaru hadn't seen the photo, he quickly concluded that the man in front of him, who was full of resentment and extremely hostile to Watanuki Yoshikazu, was most likely the brother of the corpse, Koda Masao.
After expressing his surprise like a normal person, Subaru Okiya touched his chin and began to think about how he could quietly give some hints so that Masao Koda and the others could find the body as soon as possible.
But on second thought, "being late for the mission" and "being caught being suspicious by others" are probably the same charges for Uzo.
If the reminder is too abrupt...
In the end, Subaru Okiya still didn't dare to speak - there were still a few days before the mission was due, so he wasn't in a hurry to expose himself. And now, as a passerby, he had just heard the word "corpse", so theoretically, he shouldn't know too much.
...It's better to wait a while, and when you find the right entry point, give hints naturally.
Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but look at Jiang Xia again, and he felt that he was so lucky.
——He recognized the famous high school detective.
The presence of a detective meant that not only could the body be found quickly, but the detective could also uncover the relationship between the body and Yoshikazu Watanuki.
In this way, Okiya Subaru thought that if he wanted to stay under Usa for a long time in the future, it would be necessary to get to know a few more powerful detectives - he just had to lure them over when needed.
...No, wait.
Why did you suddenly start planning your career development?
At this time, shouldn't I pray that Mr. Akai would move faster and let me escape as soon as possible...
After suddenly realizing this, Okiya Subaru fell into deep thought for a short time, and even suspected that Usa had secretly made some horrible hints without his knowledge.
"…" After this mission is over and Wu Zuo temporarily diverts his attention to himself, he will quickly go find a psychiatrist. It just so happens that the instructor seems to know a few professors of psychology…
…
Next to them, Conan and Haibara Ai were also stunned when they heard the word "corpse".
Masao Koda did not notice the movements of the two children, but looked at Subaru Okiya - he heard Subaru Okiya's question about the "corpse".
Since not many people believed in Masao Koda, and Subaru Okiya looked like a scholar and seemed very smart, Masao Koda couldn't help but talk to Subaru Okiya about his guess about the details of the "burial" like a missionary who had discovered a high-quality talent.
