Chapter 136: Asuka and Hikari
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! ! Be careful of the public security gorilla Iron Fist! ]
[Let me see, let me see, let me see, we are all not outsiders, there is nothing to be embarrassed about! Just draw it openly and let me see what’s wrong! Damn, we are all adults, why can’t you let me see, I promise not to do anything else but just watch (#The floating bath towel, Amuro Toru’s legs and Conan with his eyes covered#) I am dying of laughter, what are you doing, Conan is a 17-year-old high school boy under the skin]
[Hahahahahahahaha Shuugo, you move too fast! ! Are you going to film this? This is a skilled move. I really want to know how many such social death scenes of the same period have been filmed in the police academy. Let me see so that I can help you appreciate the results of the police academy training! ]
[Honey Bear: My cohort hasn’t hit me for the whole afternoon]
[Who is this Kuchako who’s beating people up on the street? Do something about it! Is he really an SP? I feel like the pose will look weird if it’s photographed from this angle, with Hagiwara’s frightened face as the background. Anyway, I don’t believe he’s an SP unless Shugo gives me the photo for identification]
[What’s wrong? Let’s identify together so that it’s more objective and fair (ahem)]
[How disgusting! Are you and your family outstanding graduates of some kind of men’s ethics training class in Chaoli? The whole family is wrapped up in bathrobes so tightly that you can't even see your collarbones. This is not good for you. It doesn't fit the style of the painting at all. I suggest you throw away your bathrobes now, wrap yourself in towels, and whiz by with the other strong gorillas! ]
[Let Kiri alone, he's just a child (shocked)]
Seeing himself in a dark bathrobe behind Toru Amuro in the comics, Tsukiyama Asari tied the belt of his bathrobe tighter with emotion, and pulled up his collar to cover up the little skin below his neck.
Tsk tsk, this is the result of not wearing clothes properly. Fortunately, he didn't let Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki out just now.
However, due to the sudden scream, the group did not have time to dwell on the social death of their friend. Amuro Toru gritted his teeth and tied the towel again. He did not even have time to threaten Hagiwara Kenji and Kasugawa Shugo who dared to take pictures at this time with his eyes, and continued to rush to the second floor.
"Ms. Asakawa?!"
With the shouts of several people, Asakawa Nami, who was sitting in front of the open window, came back to her senses. The horrified expression on her face had not yet faded. After seeing a group of tall men who were naked in their own ways, her eyes widened instantly. She reached out and covered her eyes tightly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's so rude to make you rush over from the hot spring!"
Her face flushed, and she stuttered for a long time before she got her tongue straight.
There was no murder scene as expected, nor even anything else that looked wrong. Only the wide open window and Asakawa Nami sitting on the ground could prove that something unexpected had happened.
Tsukiyama Asari, who was wrapped up the most tightly, quickly helped her up, "Ms. Asakawa, may I ask what happened just now?"
"It's nothing serious." After standing up, she did not remove her hands from her eyes, but explained in a low voice, "I came to the second floor to clean the bathroom. When I was wiping the window sill, I saw a dark shadow not far away, and I was startled... Maybe it was just a wild animal or a bird in the mountains. I'm really sorry to disturb you all."
Dark shadow?
Conan Edogawa frowned, stepped on the small decorative chair next to him and climbed onto the window sill, looking outside carefully. There was a small breeze at night, and the black branches were swaying. It looked dark and oppressive, and it was indeed a bit creepy.
Matsuda Jinpei, who was wearing a bathrobe, looked at his colleagues who were wrapped in bath towels and were very "indecent" with an unspeakable look, walked over and pulled down the little boy who was standing in a dangerous position, and then leaned his head to look outside, "Could it be the person who cut the wires of the freezer?"
"It's too risky to do this, and what is his motive..." Morofushi Kagemitsu frowned.
It was just cutting the power cord of the freezer. This action had no other purpose except to make the hotel panic for a while or to make the demanding guests have a bad impression of this trip. If it was done by a competitor who wanted to ruin the hotel's reputation, hiding in the mountain during the snowy period just to cut the power cord, the price would be too high.
Or, cutting the power cord had other benefits that they had not thought of yet...
This matter was not explained for the time being. It was not certain whether the black shadow was a human figure or just an animal or a branch blown by the wind. Several people were "untidy", and after several discussions, they could only put this matter aside and returned to the hot spring room.
"Xiao Wu, what are you thinking about?"
The white-haired boy who was walking at the end raised his head when Ida Kou asked him. Because of the hot spring bath, he had tied his slightly long white hair into a small ponytail at the back of his head. "I was thinking that when I was painting outside this afternoon, I seemed to have seen a black shadow... and..." As soon as
this sentence came out, several people stopped and looked back at Fei Niao Wu who was walking at the end with serious expressions.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm being stared at." Under the gaze of everyone, the white-haired boy added.
"So, there really might be someone outside." Hagiwara Kenji frowned and analyzed, then pinched the boy's cheek with a little anger, "It feels like someone is around, but you came back so late, what if a bad guy saw you alone outside and knocked someone out and took him away?"
Please, I'm not a ten-year-old child...
Ever since he did that self-directed and self-acted kidnapping case when they first met, several police officers who participated in the case subconsciously put on filters that made him easy to be kidnapped, and now they have to warn him when they hear that he ran outside alone.
Fei Niao Wu took a step back, covering his cheek that was slightly painful from being pinched. He couldn't think of any rebuttal for a while, so he simply kept silent.
"Anyway, that person is in the dark now, and we are in the light, so we should be careful... Come to think of it, could it be the group that Shuugo met on the road before?"
"Hmm? I controlled that group of people at that time, but they might have other accomplices." Kasugawa Shuugo frowned and recalled carefully.
"The glass and doors of the hotel will not be opened except for cleaning and entering and exiting, because in order to withstand the winter blizzards, the windows have been reinforced and are not so easy to open." Amuro Toru touched his chin, "Let's ask the proprietress to pay attention to the glass every night."
"That's the only way for now."
The man with half-long hair responded. The few of them discussed countermeasures all the way, and he didn't feel something was wrong until they returned to the hot spring. Before he had time to think about it, Amuro Toru behind him grabbed his collar.
Oops! I totally forgot that I just pulled off this guy's towel!
Seeing that Amuro Toru was about to swing his iron fist of punishment, Hagiwara Kenji quickly lowered his voice and said, "Anyway, I didn't mean it... Shugo's behavior is excessive, okay! In this way, he will be here soon, and we..."
Amuro Toru raised an eyebrow and loosened his hand that was grabbing the other's collar.
Edogawa Conan, who had been in deep thought all the way, didn't pay attention to the movement here. He dug out his previous memory about the freezer and read it over and over again. He just felt that something was wrong, and there was a strange sense of familiarity.
Could it be that it was really like Suzuki Sonoko said, that he just happened to see it in the mall?
The boy thought for a long time, and finally ran to stop Kasugawa Shugo, "Mr. Kasugawa!"
"What's wrong, little boy?" Kasugawa Shugo was wiping his dripping hair with a towel. Hearing this, he simply squatted down and looked at the other party.
"Mr. Kasugawa, did you find anything wrong on the way here just now?"
"Wrong... The biggest thing is that there are still a group of wanted criminals in this place." Kasugawa Shugo touched his chin, and after seeing Edogawa Conan's eyes widened, he smiled and explained, "Don't worry, I have already caught them all, but there may be accomplices."
"You caught a group of wanted criminals before you came?!" After listening to the other party's explanation, the boy couldn't help but shout out.
Is this guy one of the top ten working models! In the past, he was either on a mission or on the way to a mission, and he was able to catch a group of wanted criminals during his vacation.
I didn't know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky...
The boy paused for a moment, then asked, "What kind of wanted criminals are they?"
"Anyway, they don't look like good people. I remember the charge was robbery... But most of the gang members were quickly arrested by the police who arrived in time, and the small group that escaped were also drawn up based on the descriptions of those caught, and wanted orders were issued." The chestnut-haired man added. He wanted to explain again, but then he remembered that his pseudonym didn't know that Edogawa Conan was Kudo Shinichi. If he said more, it would make people suspicious, so he simply stopped explaining.
Speaking of which, could the matter of the cut power lines be related to them... But what is there in this hotel that is worth them taking the risk of being discovered?
"Hmm... Could it be that because they are wanted and have no guarantee of life, they want to wait until the refrigerator runs out of power and is moved outside to steal some food?" Kasugawa Shugo pondered, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. "It seems that the life of a wanted criminal is really hard. It would be better for them to be taken away by me and go to prison to enjoy three meals a day at a fixed time."
Edogawa Conan couldn't help but twitching his mouth because of the other party's description. He thought about it along the lines of the chestnut-haired police officer in front of him, and the weird feeling suddenly made sense.
The boy quickly shook his head and threw out the image of a robber wearing a criminal mask stealing fish. The man in front of him rubbed his head, yawned, changed his clothes and left first.
By the way, were those guys gone when he was talking to Edogawa Conan? They dispersed so quickly, probably to talk to the boss lady about today's events and make protective preparations.
Then he, who is still on vacation, will not get involved in this matter and leave it to them to deal with.
The man walked in the silent corridor and complained to himself, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
There were no lights on in the corridor, as if they were turned off by someone. Outside in the evening, the wind blew again, and the cold wind mixed with the snow hit the glass windows, squeezing in from unknown gaps, and elongated into a vague and sharp cry.
In the dark corridor, only the edge of the window reflected the moonlight, which reminded him of the shadow that Asuka Kiri had captured in the dark woods when he turned around while sketching outside in the afternoon. This memory made him feel creepy, and he also had the illusion that he was being spied on.
It should be... just an illusion.
Thinking of this, Kasugawa Shugo continued to walk forward, but when he was about to reach the door, he heard faint footsteps behind him.
It was very light, but he couldn't have heard it wrong, it was indeed footsteps.
The chestnut-haired man swallowed his saliva, and after his hand touched his waist, he remembered that he had put the ** that he always kept with him in the bedroom before taking a hot spring bath, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation now.
He could only clench his fists and look back vigilantly. At the end of the corridor, a tall figure has been standing on the stairs for some time, and only the outline can be seen in the darkness.
The figure attracted all his attention. Before Kasugawa Shugo could ask anything, the door of someone's room next to him was suddenly opened from the inside, and a hand reached out from the darkness and covered his mouth with force.
"Ugh——" The man inside was very strong. Kasugawa Shugo widened his eyes because of this sudden change, and stretched out his hand to grab the other person's wrist, but he didn't expect that the man didn't dodge at all, and directly grabbed his neck from behind with his other hand and dragged him into the room.
The person who was originally standing in the camera of the corridor also ran into the room in a few steps and closed the door with his backhand.
Finally getting rid of the man behind him, Kasugawa Shugo fell to the floor, and finally recognized the scary guy standing at the end of the corridor from his conspicuous semi-long hair. He rolled his eyes at the two of them and said speechlessly, "What are you doing? Wasn't it enough that you kidnapped Kagemitsu yesterday? You're here again today?! You're worthy of being a member of the organization that defeated Asari--"
Wait, wait. The two men looked familiar, but it couldn't be because...
As if responding to his thoughts, the blond-haired, dark-skinned man took a few steps and stood in front of him with a sense of oppression. Because of his clenched fists, the muscles of his entire arm looked even stronger and more developed than usual. The man sneered and pressed his knuckles, and his purple-gray eyes even glowed faintly in the dark.
Oops, it looks like this gorilla can knock him out with one punch.
"Kasugawa Shugo. Either delete the photos in the album, or..." Amuro Toru, who was originally a little upset because of the phrase "beat Asari", simply threw this memory behind him and spoke through gritted teeth. While speaking, the man took out a mobile phone from his trouser pocket, turned it on, and turned on the camera and shook it at him twice.
"Wait a minute!" The chestnut-haired man immediately understood what the other party meant, and begged for mercy, "Private Marseille! I really deleted it just now, and I can't show my face in the photo, please don't open the camera!"
"There are many ways to take pictures without showing your face." Amuro Toru retorted, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Really deleted it? Why do I feel like someone would send the photo to others?"
Uh...
it was indeed a good colleague who had just quickly sent the photo to Matsuda Jinpei, Date Kou, and Morobushi Kagemitsu not long ago. He was speechless for a moment, he hesitated for a few times, and quickly forced a smile that was no different from usual, "Am I that kind of person? This kind of SP must be kept well by myself, how can I send it to others so easily. And I plan to let Matsuda and the others beg me for a while before I show it to them."
It is indeed not so easy to send it to others, so one person collected 1,000 yen for the photo transaction fee.
Send it to three people, and make a net profit of 3,000 yen!
"Really?" The blond-haired, dark-skinned man smiled at him eerily and dialed a number on the spot, "......Hello, Matsuda. Did Shugo send that photo to you?"
"No."
Hearing Matsuda Jinpei's firm denial, Kasugawa Shugo burst into tears.
He is indeed my good classmate!
Amuro Toru looked at the other man's moist round eyes, sneered and added, "I'll lend you my car for a week. You can dismantle and modify it as you like."
"Yes, I've paid you 1,000 yen. By the way, the squad leader and the ambush should have paid them as well."
"Okay, thank you. I'll give you the car keys when you get back." The man hung up the phone and turned his gaze to a guy who had already slipped to the window, as if he was ready to escape at any time, "Where are you going to run to?"
"I'm sorry!" Kasugawa Shugo quickly got down from his seat, "I was really confused for a moment... Hagiwara Kenji is the culprit, why didn't you find him but me?!"
The half-long-haired man who had been guarding the door heard this, and the side of his face that had just been punished not long ago began to hurt again. He quickly asked the other party to stop, and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. No matter what I say, I was just careless, but Shugo, you must have taken the photo on purpose." I'm sorry, Shugo
, only by sacrificing you can I escape the pursuit of the Furuya family.
"You two are in cahoots!!!" Kasugawa Shugo said angrily.
"Can't we two join forces to suppress him? The public security has been rampant for too long. We are both from the Metropolitan Police Department. This is a united war... Wait! Wait a minute ... Ahh
...
