Chapter 1702-1710 [Running Away]
Soon, Okiya Subaru turned off the screen of his phone again.
He collapsed on the bed, reviewing word for word what Wu Zo had told him during their recent phone call: write a paper during this time, attend a meeting, go shopping, and just go about your daily routine... There was not a single word about him asking Jiang Xia to do a task.
Okiya Subaru: “…” He didn’t say anything, so it probably means he doesn’t need it.
Yes, that must be it.
And Conan has already gone there. This kid's professional ability is terrifying, and he probably won't be needed there for the time being. His current task is actually to concentrate on catching Akai Shuichi.
After doing some reading comprehension, Okiya Subaru felt much more at ease.
He tilted his head and looked back at the live broadcast screen: "Speaking of which, I seem to have a new colleague. Will that person be here too?"
As he thought about it, he paid attention to all the people who appeared in the picture, and his eyes soon fell on the cat doll whose face and body were obscured and whose voice was even changed.
…
Live broadcast.
There was an interview scheduled when I was heading to Teitan Junior High School from the detective agency.
Jiang Xia quickly answered the questions. When the car stopped at a red light, he glanced to the side inadvertently and found that Inspector Megure and Sato Miwako were sitting in the car next door.
The two police officers had frowned eyes and looked like they were in trouble.
Jiang Xia was cheered up: "!"
During a break in the interview, he whispered to the person in charge: "I'll go see the police next door. Don't take pictures of the specific situation for now. Some cases may need to be kept confidential."
The person in charge was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant. However, before he could decide whether to support or stop him, Jiang Xia had already slipped out of the car.
Person in charge: “…”
...Forget it. Actually, he wanted to shoot a crime report in the beginning. It's a pity that murder cases can't happen just because you want them. When there are no murder cases, the program crew can't create them on purpose.
And because there were no homicide cases yesterday and today, he had to settle for the next best thing and decided to film the daily life of a famous detective - it would obviously be better if Jiang Xia could really get some help from the police to solve the case on his own.
He grabbed the conducting microphone and whispered a few words to Yoko Kinoshita off-screen.
Kinoshita Yoko heard the instructions in the headset clearly, blinked her eyes, and indicated that she would help cover up Jiang Xia's escape. The show is just a side job. If a detective encounters a case on the way, he should really deal with the main job first, after all, human life is at stake.
Next to him, "Mr. Mihua" had already noticed Jiang Xia's sneaky escape.
He was a little wary at first, but after taking a look at the car next to him, he found that there were only two policemen inside, not any suspicious persons. So Toru Amuro pretended that he saw nothing and withdrew his gaze.
——Being abducted by the police is better than continuing to stay in this program related to the congressman.
At least the two policemen would not disregard human life as much as the organization did, and would not send cadres to eliminate the troublesome detectives when necessary to prevent the detectives from getting in the way of their assassination.
…
In a black car.
Vodka sat up straighter.
Gin was just raising a can of coffee to drink when the seat shook and he almost spilled it.
He put away the coffee can, glanced at the frightened little brother, and decided that if Vodka couldn't give a reason, he would make a hole in him.
Vodka sensed the murderous intent coming from the passenger seat and said hastily, "Brother, that Uzo guy might have escaped from the live broadcast site! Look at Miss Yoko's expression. This is the way she usually greets the staff outside the screen when encountering emergencies.
"While filming the scenery along the way, this fake cat came over to discuss something with her. For a live broadcast centered on a famous detective, what could possibly cause the hosts to be embarrassed? — The detective must have run away!"
Gin: “…”
…
Inspector Megure was riding in a car with Miwako Sato, and they were whispering something while waiting for the red light.
Who knew that the next moment, the back door was suddenly opened and someone got in. There was also a short shadow beside the man's legs, and he got on the car faster than the previous one.
The two were startled and looked back vigilantly.
Seeing the stowaway in the back seat, Sato Miwako was stunned for a moment: "Jiang Xia? ... How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to get on or off a moving vehicle, even if it is stopped at a red light!"
Jiang Xia looked away guiltily.
But when he thought of Boss Amuro who was always racing in all kinds of strange places, and Conan who was riding a skateboard and trying to compete with motor vehicles for the road, he suddenly felt that among detectives, he was quite law-abiding.
So the fake detective regained his composure and said, "You seem to be in trouble. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, this is a kidnapping, not a murder." Inspector Megure tried to decline politely, but then he suddenly remembered something, "Today is Monday, why didn't you go to school again?"
Jiang Xia: "I have learned everything I've been taught. I can also help with kidnapping cases - many times the perpetrators are acquaintances. If we can guess the identity of the criminals and catch them in advance, the hostages will be safe."
Inspector Megure: “…” That’s the truth… I’m just afraid that the kidnapping case will turn into a murder case.
But now the red light had passed and they had already started, so it was not realistic to leave Jiang Xia behind on the main road. Besides, they were in a hurry and had no time to stop.
Sato Miwako compromised first: "Forget it, if you want to follow me, just follow me first."
She remembered that the car next to them seemed to be from a TV station, and warned again: "Don't act rashly, and don't beat the robbers in person, unless it's to stop them or in self-defense."
Jiang Xia agreed to all of them: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Inspector Megure thought of the criminals he had beaten over the years: “…” You have no idea.
But no matter what, Jiang Xia is still a good brother who has helped him solve countless cases. So Inspector Megure didn't say anything else and quickly focused on the case again.
…
In the tense atmosphere, the vehicle gradually approached a desolate factory.
Before entering the factory, their car met a luxury car.
There was only one person in the car with the Mercedes logo on it, a middle-aged man who was a little overweight. He looked grim, with sweat on his forehead, and seemed very nervous.
Conan observed for a moment and whispered to Jiang Xia, "This should be the family of the hostage who came to pay the ransom."
That's true.
This person had obviously communicated with the police in advance. The two looked at each other through the two layers of car windows. The Mercedes continued to move forward, and Sato Miwako turned the steering wheel and made the car detour to an alley: "We're here."
Jiang Xia opened the door and got out of the car, following the two sneaky policemen along the dark place, walking forward tiptoe.
Not long after, I saw a van parked in a hidden place ahead. It was the police command vehicle.
