Mr. Fuyuki loaded up the cash and, accompanied by the police, anxiously waited for contact from the murderer.
On the other side, Conan finally arrived at the place - it was a residential area near the suburbs, with many apartments. He followed the house numbers and went to each house, and his eyes quickly settled on one of them.
Not long after, the fake primary school student used his innocent face to trick him into opening the door.
He looked at the young couple living here: "Excuse me, were you also at the scene of the murderer's fall off the cliff yesterday? - I heard that there was another witness at the bottom of the cliff, but that person was gone when the police came.
Yes, is this true?"
The couple looked at each other, a little surprised by the child's problem. However, they had just encountered a hot case yesterday, and at this time they were at the peak of their desire to share. When someone asked, they did not hide it, and said cheerfully: "Of course.
It’s true!”
"At that time, we were looking at the scenery. When we looked around, we accidentally found a man standing by the stream fishing in the canyon below. At that time, I thought this place was really nice, and I would bring fishing gear here next time."
"Later, the knife-wielding murderer slipped and fell. The noise was so loud that we could hear it from above. I thought the people below must have seen it more clearly. But who knew that when everyone went down, the fisherman had disappeared."
The young husband shook his head: "I guess he ran away in fear. Really, we are both Tokyo citizens, so running away doesn't matter. We should at least provide some clues to the police."
"Fishing down there?" Conan asked hopefully, "Fishermen often appear in fixed locations. It shouldn't be his first time there - do you know who he is and where he lives?"
The young couple shook their heads in embarrassment: "Although it may not be the first time for him to go, but it is for us!"
Conan: "..."
Just when I was a little disappointed, a voice came from behind: "As for that fishing guy, I remember that he is an employee of Shijikawa Hospital."
Conan was startled, looked back, and saw an elderly couple.
These two people were also the tourists who witnessed the cliff falling incident yesterday. The middle-aged woman among them smiled and said: "I have been admitted to Shijikawa Hospital before and dealt with him. His name is Otosaka. He is a very nice person. At that time
It helped me a lot.”
Conan thought thoughtfully: "Shijikawa Hospital."
…
In a spacious hospital located in the suburbs.
Vodka ate the hospital meal without taste, and his left eyelid kept twitching.
"There is always a bad premonition." Vodka sighed faintly, "But strictly speaking, since I left Gin and acted alone, my premonition has not stopped... I'd better eat well first, I can hide for a day
Let’s count the day and we’ll talk about the rest later.”
Even so, his desire to survive did not allow him to lie down.
After taking two bites, Vodka stared at the food in his hand and hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up. He walked to the window and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.
Originally it was just a formality to reassure himself, but the next moment, Vodka's eyes suddenly stopped and fell at the door of the hospital.
——A young figure carried a skateboard, looked around for a moment, and then trotted in furtively.
Although there was a distance between them, the small suit that looked like a human, the blood-red tie at the collar of the suit, and the lenses that reflected light... all made Vodka immediately recognize this person's identity.
"It's the little Yinbi next to Uzuo!" His chopsticks stiffened, and the food in his mouth suddenly tasted even less delicious. "What does this guy want to do?!"
…
Not long after Conan slipped into the hospital, he couldn't help but frown: I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt like someone was observing him.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, a long shadow cast behind me.
"!" Conan turned around cautiously, only to see a staff member wearing a suit and skirt.
The lady at the front desk looked down at him and asked doubtfully: "Kid, who are you here with? Where are your parents?"
"Ah, I..." Conan thought, "I'm looking for Uncle Otosaka!"
The front desk lady suddenly realized that she thought this was the child of an acquaintance of Otosaka: "Come with me, I will take you to find him - the location here is quite remote, so don't run around alone next time."
Conan made a cute voice that only a primary school student can have, and nodded in agreement: "Yes!"
The two people went to the parking lot one after another.
Vodka watched this scene from a distance and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "..." Children are so useful. No wonder Holmes wanted to create such a Baker Street guerrilla, and no wonder Uzo wanted to imitate it and get one.
So many children are his minions.
"You don't learn well at a young age." Vodka's scalp went numb when he thought that these people might be the future of the organization, "Especially this brat with glasses, seeing him, it's like seeing Uzo quietly multiplying."
…
Under the fearful gaze of the organization cadres, Conan followed the beautiful receptionist through the hospital and met Otosaka Jinichi.
"Looking for me?" Otosaka Jinichi looked down at Conan, a little confused, "But I don't know this child."
The lady at the front desk was startled: "Then..."
Conan didn't want to be taken away as a lost child. When he saw this, he quickly said to Otosaka Jin: "Actually, it was Brother Jiang Xia who asked me to come to you - you know Jiang Xia, the famous high school detective."
"Ah!" The eyes of the lady at the front desk lit up, "Of course I do, kid, do you know Jiang Xia?"
Conan nodded and handed her the latest business card he got from Jiang Xia.
After dismissing the happy employee, he turned back to look at Otosaka Renichi, whose face changed slightly, and said straight to the point: "Did you go fishing in Shikigawa Gorge yesterday? There was a cliff fall incident there, did you see it?
?”
Otosaka Jinichi smiled: "I did go, but I have no memory of the cliff fall incident you mentioned - if such a thing really happened, it should have happened after I left."
"That's it." Conan showed an innocent child's smile, "Then I will go back to deal with brother Jiang Xia. Thank you uncle for cooperating with the investigation!"
As he spoke, he turned around and ran away.
Otosaka Jinichi was startled. He didn't expect the other party to finish the question so easily. He breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "Children are really easy to fool... I don't know what that detective was thinking, and he actually sent this
Here comes some help."
His voice was captured by a bug not far away and quietly reached someone's ears.
Vodka's eyes showed pity: "..." Oh, innocent and stupid prop, you don't know anything about that child's cunning.
He thought for a moment and switched his eavesdropping position to eavesdropping at the front desk.
Not long after, a familiar child's voice rang out.
——Conan did not leave, but circled back to the hospital and found the front desk lady again.
