Chapter 91 How to Pretend to Have a Hostage and Ask for a Monthly Ticket ()
Outside, the fake old lady looked at her watch and sat back in her wheelchair.
She went out to find out about the situation and was relieved to learn that Jiang Xia was still missing.
——Since Jiang Xia hadn't brought out the news that "the real Madam was dead" from the secret passage, then for her, everything could still be saved.
However, judging from the location where Jiang Xia entered the secret passage and the location of the lady's body, Xichuan Suimei thought that Jiang Xia must have discovered the body. Maybe this cunning young detective wanted to hide in the tunnel and wait for the phone to be repaired before coming out to call the police.
Nishikawa Suimei: “…” You can’t always follow the other party’s rhythm.
We have to think of a way quickly to find Jiang Xia and silence him.
…
At this time, several other guests happened to pass by from the other end of the corridor.
Nishikawa Suimei looked at them and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind:
It would be better to kidnap a hostage yourself, take the hostage into the secret passage, and force Jiang Xia out - high school detectives must be very upright, and they will not stand by and watch their partner's life being threatened.
After Nishikawa Suimei came up with an idea, she picked among the remaining four guests and set her target on Conan without much hesitation.
——Children are simple and easy to deceive, and once deceived, they are also easy to carry. If it were the other three people, dragging them around in the secret passage to look for Jiang Xia would be too tiring.
We have to find an opportunity to lure that child out alone...
Thinking of this, Nishikawa Suimei put on a piece of clothing and re-entered the secret passage.
…
A group of people searched everywhere in the castle but found no trace of Jiang Xia.
Conan was worried about the puzzle of the "treasure" in the courtyard, and he had to distract himself by thinking about where Jiang Xia was. He felt a little overwhelmed.
He paced up and down the corridor, trying to cool himself down.
Halfway through the stroll, Conan moved his ears and suddenly heard a noise.
He followed the sound and turned the corner of the corridor.
Then I saw a black coat lying on the ground.
Conan's pupils shrank...not because he thought of the members of the Black Organization, but because he thought of Jiang Xia.
——Jiang Xia often wears black from head to toe, and even likes to choose black items such as scarves, masks and pencil cases.
At the moment Jiang Xia disappeared, a jacket of the same color suddenly fell nearby... Could this be Jiang Xia's clothes?
Conan was puzzled for a moment, then walked over quickly, picked up the coat and examined it.
…
Behind Conan, in the gap of the secret passage on the wall.
A pair of eyes quietly watched this scene.
Nishikawa Suimei was sticking to the door of the secret passage. When she saw the child approaching, she sneered and took out her wooden stick, ready to knock Conan unconscious with it and drag him into the secret passage.
However, just as she was about to push open the secret door.
Another pair of footsteps suddenly approached.
Toru Amuro came closer and looked at what Conan was holding: "What is this...?"
"A piece of clothing." Conan shook the clothes open and took a look, frowning slightly, "I thought it was Brother Jiang Xia's coat, but now it seems that it is just the same color."
So...why did a piece of clothing fall out here?
Toru Amuro obviously thought of this problem as well.
He raised his head thoughtfully and examined the surrounding scenery.
…
Behind the wall, Nishikawa Suimei gradually broke out in a cold sweat.
——On weekdays, she often wandered around in the secret passages, looking for treasures. Therefore, there were some traces of opening left at the entrances of the secret passages.
And Nishikawa Suimei remembered that Amuro Toru, who was just across the wall, seemed to be a detective as well. If he had carefully observed and found the entrance to the secret passage...
Nishikawa Suimei: “…” No, the body of the lady in the secret passage must not be discovered by more people!
Instead of waiting for Amuro Toru to find the secret passage, it is better to strike first... Nishikawa Suimei's mind is filled with evil thoughts of "silencing" him.
I saw Toru Amuro was looking at the opposite wall with his back to this side.
Nishikawa Suimei gritted her teeth, pushed open the secret door, and hit him hard on the back of the head with a stick.
Conan was startled and was about to shout "Be careful!".
However, Toru Amuro seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly raised his hand and accurately grabbed the wrist of the fake old lady holding the wooden stick.
He originally wanted to push forward with his elbow, but when he saw who was attacking him, Toru Amuro paused.
——At this age, I always feel that if I hit someone, the person might be sent directly to cremation... However, having said that, the wrist of this "old lady" does not feel old when I hold it.
Amuro Toru snatched Nishikawa Suimei's stick and threw it aside, then arrested her and asked in confusion: "Why did you attack me? What is your purpose? Who sent you here, or was it your own idea?"
…
He asked, looking at the strange old lady.
Although the opponent looked weak, he was actually even weaker... However, since arriving at the castle, this was the first person who showed obvious hostility towards him.
Just as he was thinking about it, the old lady under his command suddenly struggled and shouted, "Let me go! Otherwise, you will never see that high school detective again!"
"..." Amuro Toru took a moment to react, then hesitated and said, "You mean you arrested Jiang Xia?"
"Of course." The old woman sneered and continued to speak harshly, "Let go, or I guarantee he won't survive today!"
…Xichuan Suimei thought secretly, Jiang Xia is missing anyway, why not take advantage of this and pretend to have a hostage.
In this way, as long as Toru Amuro hesitated for a moment, she could take the opportunity to break free and rush into the secret passage to escape.
Nishikawa Suimei was planning her future.
After a second or two, she realized that Amuro Toru was holding her hand and didn't loosen it at all. It seemed that the "hostage" did not pose the threat it should have.
Nishikawa Suimei looked up in confusion, and saw Conan and Amuro Toru looking at her silently, their expressions subtly synchronized.
It is a very complex sight. If we have to make it concrete, it can probably be translated as: ...just you?
