Chapter 1301 1309 [The Stalker Behind] Ask for a monthly ticket (づど)☆
Hattori Heiji: "..." Facing such a terrifying head who would beat people, Jiang Xia actually chose the latter between "policeman" and "detective friend". He remembered this favor! In the future, he will definitely...well, he will definitely ask his friends to bring Jiang Xia to Osaka more often.
As for himself, he is too busy to accompany you in time.
Conan honestly learned from his experience. He thought of the serial murder case that happened 13 years ago and the possible existence of an armed gang. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Don't you notify the police?"
"No!" Hattori Heiji blurted out.
After a moment, he felt that this was too impulsive, and explained awkwardly: "That would alert the enemy. The police would make too much noise, and if it was a criminal who had been on the run for 13 years, they must be very familiar with the police's actions and characteristics. Why don't we find the exact location first, and then contact the police."
…
As for the murderer of the two cases tonight, although the methods he used were strange and terrifying, he did not seem to be very good at anti-tracking. Perhaps it was because Jiang Xia's transmitter was hidden too well.
In short, after the three detectives followed the location of the transmitter, they saw the figure of the "Lord" near the signal point without any setbacks.
Hattori Heiji hid behind a big tree and looked in the direction of his "lord", Aribasaka Shigehiko, and whispered to the other two: "He is not heading to the hotel where the Historical Brigade is staying. Is he going to commit another crime? Is he really planning to kill three... or even four people in one night?"
Conan was about to say something, but saw Jiang Xia thought for a moment, then he left his hiding place, walked straight out and blocked Shigehiko Aribasaka.
Conan: “?!”
Hattori Heiji: "?!"
A large unknown shadow in the distance: "?!"
Conan was stunned for a moment, and was the first to react. He whispered in surprise: "Is Jiang Xia planning to stop him and go to meet the target himself to avoid unnecessary sacrifice?"
"..." He and Hattori Heiji looked at each other and felt that they understood: according to their speculation, the murderer and the murderer 13 years ago were probably not in the same group. Instead, the murderer's target, or some oriole lurking in other places, waiting to perform a mantis stalking a cicada, might be related to the brutal robber group that is still at large.
In other words, the next scene could be very dangerous. Jiang Xia's actions could save the murderer from death.
Hattori Heiji: "..." Faced with the truth and human life, Jiang Xia chose human life without hesitation... Although I always feel that this kind of good deed is not in line with Jiang Xia's temperament, but at this moment, this is indeed what Jiang Xia did.
...And if you think about it carefully, no matter what logic you follow, Jiang Xia's behavior seems to be very reasonable. A thoughtful and righteous high school detective seems to be what he should do.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt a little ashamed, looked at each other, nodded heavily, and walked over with a righteous look.
…
Shigehiko Abarasaka was holding a black umbrella, his hands in the wide pockets of his windbreaker, and he was walking in the rain with his head down.
He secretly thought about his future plans and clenched his fists. The pair of squinting eyes on his face looked extremely deep under the dim street lights.
Just when he thought he would be able to take revenge soon, he suddenly realized something, was slightly startled, and stopped.
——In the alley ahead, a high school student suddenly walked out from the side and blocked his way.
Almost at the same time, people from the other two sides approached, and three people actually surrounded him secretly.
Shigehiko Aribasaka looked carefully for a few times and recognized them: "..." They seemed to be the two high school detectives he had seen at the crime scene just now, and a child running around.
...It's so late, why are they blocking here instead of going to rest?
A bad premonition slowly arose in Aribasaka Shigehiko's heart.
He tried his best to organize his thoughts, smiled gently as usual, and said good-naturedly: "It's you. Why don't you go home so late? If you want to ask me something, I'm sorry, I don't have any more clues."
As he said this, he wanted to go straight through Jiangxia, and then find a place with complicated roads and take the opportunity to get rid of the person.
But Jiang Xia stopped him and didn't give way: "But I always feel that you seem to have a lot of clues."
As he spoke, he pointed at the pocket of Abarasaka Shigehiko's windbreaker and looked at the flashlight that was sticking out from there: "There should be a bomb in this. Are you planning to lend it to 'Tokugawa Ieyasu' later, and then take the opportunity to blow him up like you did with the dead body burning in the castle tower?"
"..." Aribasaka Shigehiko's eyebrows jumped, and the expression on his face could hardly be maintained.
His smile became stiff, and his squinty eyes opened a little: "Haha, what are you talking about? When traveling at night, it's normal to bring a flashlight, isn't it?"
Jiang Xia didn't seem to be willing to be fooled.
The young detective checked his watch, and as if to avoid repeating himself to the police in the future, he took out his cell phone and pressed the record button in front of Abarasaka Shigehiko.
Then, at a speed that made Abarasaka Shigehiko dizzy, he spoke skillfully: "The one who killed Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Ningning should be you - even if you can't draw the identity of the 'Lord', as long as you lure them with the 'Tiger' scroll that seems to record the location of the treasure, they will go to where you need them as promised.
"For example, the first person to die was Toyotomi Hideyoshi. If you told him, 'I hid the scroll under a tile on the roof of the castle tower,' he would avoid the daytime when he could be easily spotted and go after dark in order to climb up to the rooftop where tourists are not allowed to enter.
"Once it got dark, although Toyotomi Hideyoshi could hide himself, it was difficult for him to see his surroundings clearly and find the scroll.
"For illumination, he took out his lighter and lit it. At this moment, he suddenly found a more convenient flashlight on the roof ridge next to him. So he picked up the flashlight and placed the lighter where the flashlight was - this is the reason for the strange fan-shaped mark on the roof ridge.
"But the flashlight was specially designed to explode when the switch was pressed. Toyotomi Hideyoshi burst into flames after the explosion, and fell off the roof in panic, dying soon after. He was the only one on the castle tower at the time, and there was a lighter with his fingerprints on it. If the police couldn't find the real culprit, it would be easy to close the case as suicide."
…
This is when we are reasoning.
Dozens of meters away, in the shadows of a hidden place, a group of figures were moving quietly.
