Chapter 1819 1826 [New little brother, long time no see]
Jiang Xia and Conan followed the island watchers who had a secret all the way to the old building where they lived.
Following the muddy footprints on the ground, the two soon found out the general direction that Kurosawa and Ma were heading.
Going up the stairs, the muddy footprints gradually faded and disappeared.
They were about to lose the trail, but when they passed a certain floor, they suddenly heard a clanging noise, as if a table had been knocked over and someone was fighting.
One person can't fight alone, and Kurosawa and Ma don't look idle enough to fight each other, so...
"There really is another person hiding on this island!"
Conan's expression froze and he quickly ran towards the sound.
Jiang Xia also hurried to catch up. Just when he was halfway there, he smelled the long-lost smell of iced black tea again - although the supply of murderous aura in Hashimoto Maya was not comparable to that of a regular cadre, she had already shown some signs of bubbling when she was nervous.
So even though the fighting ended just as the sound started, Jiang Xia quickly confirmed the room the two were in and ran to the door.
Conan followed closely and stuck his head out, looking inside.
In the dim light, he saw Kurosawa and Ma lying on the ground, with a strange black shadow kneeling on his back. The poor island watcher was suppressed and his head was pressed to the ground, unable to speak. The black shadow lurking on the island raised a hand and looked like he was about to hit him.
——In short, it was a murder scene in progress.
"stop!"
Conan let out a righteous roar, unscrewed his foot-strengthening shoes smoothly, and kicked a can scattered at the door.
With a dull thud, the can flew out like a cannonball and hit the black shadow's head.
The shadow was startled and leaned back suddenly. The can brushed past his hair and hit the wall with a bang, shattering into a piece of steel gravy, and a big hole was also gouged in the wall.
The black shadow heard the noise and turned around to look.
Looking at this bloody scene, and remembering the consequences of the can hitting his head just now, he froze: "..."
When the black shadow was frightened, the terrible attacker at the door was also frightened.
——Conan didn't expect the black shadow to react so quickly and successfully avoid the sudden attack at such a close distance. No wonder this guy was able to subdue the tall island keeper in an instant...
As he thought about it, the weak elementary school student quietly wiped away a cold sweat.
At the same time, he secretly felt fortunate that Jiang Xia was also nearby. As long as he didn't use any hot weapons, any outlaw could be stepped on and hit by this neighbor.
However, as a mature and rational high school student, I certainly cannot throw all the burdens on my companions.
A series of thoughts flashed through Conan's mind quickly. The next moment, relying on the presence of his accomplice, Conan picked up the second can openly and prepared to aim.
However, before he kicked out, Jiang Xia flashed his flashlight, illuminating the two people in the middle of the room.
Conan was suddenly stunned.
——The shadow that was holding down Kurosawa Hema and looked like it was about to commit a crime actually looked familiar.
"You..." Conan's mind flashed through various scenes, and he froze on a few of them. He immediately remembered the man's identity, "Aren't you the heroic co-pilot on the plane not long ago?"
Hashimoto Maya, whose eyes were dazzled by the sudden flashlight, said: "..."
...Can you please stop mentioning the plane that was filled with the scent of Uzo? It's too unlucky!
...Not to mention the heroic co-pilot!
In comparison, Jiang Xia is more concerned about the present.
The detective stood at the door without moving, looking down at him, and changed the subject back to the present: "Mr. George? Why are you on this island?"
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
I didn't expect that after being so obedient for so many days, the only time I was forced to fight back, I was caught on the spot by the detective... Was this also within Uzo's expectations?
But on second thought, this seemed normal: looking at the way Hei Ze and Ma were looking for trouble just now, even he could see that something was wrong at a glance, let alone Jiang Xia.
The fact that "the detective followed" was predictable, but I was thrown off balance by my stupid teammates' sudden anger, which led to the current situation... If I had known earlier, I should have dealt with Kurosawa and Mado for a while, pretending to be an innocent tourist who was attacked, to clear myself of suspicion.
Maya Hashimoto instinctively reviewed her mistakes, and at the same time, she felt a thousand regrets in her heart.
But now that things have come to this, unless all the people on the island are killed, he can only give a pale explanation: "It's not me, I didn't, I didn't do anything... This person suddenly came over and attacked me, and then I was forced to fight back. I didn't mean to kill anyone, I just wanted to knock him out and let him calm down..."
As he spoke, his voice became quieter.
Although Hashimoto Maya had not left his house these days, he often stood at this commanding height to spy. He watched and guessed what happened on the island, and naturally knew how suspicious he was at the moment.
Plus this attack scene...
He couldn't help pinching his forehead in pain, feeling a trace of despair in his heart: I can't explain it anymore!
Is it really necessary to follow Uzo's script and take away the people on the island...
Just when the light in the eyes of an outlaw gradually faded.
Jiang Xia's voice suddenly rang out: "So that's how it is."
...It doesn't sound too sarcastic, but rather like he really accepts this statement.
Hashimoto Maya was startled, then suddenly raised her head and looked at him: "Do you believe it?"
"Of course, Mr. George doesn't look like the kind of person who kills innocent people." Jiang Xia said in a friendly manner, "And when we came in, there were only footprints left by Mr. Kurosawa on the ground. If you were the murderer, you would have rushed here from that building after the 'fall into the sea', and it would be impossible for you to leave no traces."
Hashimoto Maya was silent for a moment.
Then I felt like I was alive again.
He quietly poked Kurosawa Hema under him: Look, look at his brain!
Kurosawa Kazuma: “…”
While Hashimoto Maya loosened her grip, he shook his head violently to free his mouth that was pressed to the ground: "But only this guy has been hiding on the island, and only he...only someone of his height and build can easily kill Taro!"
Jiang Xia looked down at him and said, "Mr. Inuzuka's wound is on the back of his head. In other words, as long as the weapon is handy and his vigilance is low enough, even a girl who looks very weak can be killed with one blow. It is too arbitrary to judge the murderer only by height and body shape."
Kurosawa Hema said angrily in his heart: Of course it’s not because of his height and body shape, but because of this kid’s identity!
"..." Unfortunately, he didn't dare to say that.
Maya Hashimoto nodded repeatedly beside her. She had never found the detective's reasoning so pleasing to the ear.
However, before he could be happy for long, Jiang Xia suddenly looked up at him:
"But there is one thing that is of concern. Why are you hiding on this island?"
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
