On the tray distributed by Mrs. Minagawa, there were some coffee and handmade cakes, and an alluring aroma of food emitted from a distance.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko themselves like sweets, and Conan also likes this one. When he was a male high school student, he was too embarrassed to eat them every day. Now that he has become smaller, he often follows the Young Detective Team and Jiang Xia to get food from Haibara Ai.
Eat sweets.
The three of them were briefly freed from the depressing atmosphere of college students. They breathed a sigh of relief, took the cake and coffee, and started to kill time with snacks.
…
Jiang Xia found his motorcycle parked nearby and drove in the direction where the ghosts were vaguely sensing.
After walking out for more than ten meters, the ghosts began to murmur again - that worrying group of murderous aura was approaching them quickly.
Not long after, an ordinary Toyota appeared on the empty road ahead.
As it quickly approached in the field of vision, Jiang Xia also felt the murderous aura - the source of the murderous aura was in the car, and there was a faint smell of sweet perfume.
"...?"
Jiang Xia glanced at Matsuda Jinpei with a complicated expression, remembering just now that he was the first to discover the source of murderous intent.
Matsuda Jinping looked at him, and a "?" appeared carefully on the top of his head. After a moment of doubt, it suddenly understood what Jiang Xia was thinking, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny it - it didn't like this kind of smell, it was just murderous of this nature.
More sensitive...
It doesn't matter what flavor of murderous aura the ghosts like. Jiang Xia quickly gave up the pastime of "observing the habits of ghosts" - this kind of thing is suitable for doing when he has nothing to do. But now, he is obviously not in that kind of "idle"
time period.
He looked again at the car driving this way.
Compared to just now, the distance between Toyota and him was once again significantly closer.
Through the front window of the car, you can vaguely see the figure of the driver. The man is wearing a hood that covers his forehead. The mask tightly covers the lower half of his face, and the gap between the top and bottom is covered with sunglasses. On the straight road,
The driver kept pressing the accelerator and quickly passed Jiang Xia.
The moment they approached, Jiang Xia looked at the car, her whole body tensed slightly, and then slowly returned to its original state. She gave up the idea of jumping into the car when she passed by and knocking the people inside out... She had to first
Find out who is in the car. If it is a colleague or boss you need to deal with frequently in the future, it will be a bit embarrassing to see you again.
The two sides driving opposite each other missed each other, the distance shrunk to the extreme, and then quickly turned away from each other.
As the vehicle went away, Jiang Xia turned the front of the vehicle, held up his helmet, and followed subconsciously.
But after driving for a while, my phone vibrated.
He maintained the speed of the car, took out his mobile phone and checked it, and found that it was from Mao Lilan.
[Something happened here! Mr. Minagawa suddenly fell down and was said to have no breath. Conan said it didn't look like sudden death, but more like poisoning...]
"..."
... Something happened so soon?
Jiang Xia was a little surprised. However, thinking of Minagawa Katsuhiko's ability to hate, the chaotic emotional whirlpool around him, and the atmosphere at the sorority party, he felt that this didn't seem too strange...
He put away his phone, looked at the direction the vehicle was leaving, and hesitated.
... There was a murder at the party he just stayed at, and there were not too many people at the party. When the police arrived and found that he was not there, they would definitely look for him. But now, he still didn’t know the specific intention of driving the car with murderous intent.
Where to go. If you are too far away, it may be difficult to follow.
In addition, there were very few cars on this stretch of road, and even fewer motorcycles. It would be easy to detect someone following him... Fortunately, he learned from Conan and Toru Amuro the excellent qualities a detective should possess - carrying a transmitter and a bug with him.
The moment he passed by the vehicle, Jiang Xia casually threw one on it and saw it stuck to the roof of the vehicle.
He took out his phone, found the tracking software, and clicked on it to check.
The little red dot above goes all the way towards the city, and the signal is stable.
Jiang Xia nodded secretly, turned the motorcycle around with satisfaction, and returned to the meeting place just now.
…
a few minutes ago.
Minagawa Katsuhiko didn't like sweets, and he was in a bad mood at this time. He only drank a cup of coffee from the refreshments brought by Mrs. Minagawa, and then he pushed away the tray in front of him irritably, planning to go to the yard to smoke a cigarette.
The scenery relieves the mood.
However, when I squeezed the cigarette box, it was already empty.
The bespectacled man caught a sharp glimpse, took out his cigarette, and threw it to him in the air.
Minagawa Katsuhiko frowned and shook out one, holding it open the door and walked into the yard.
Ten seconds later, Watanabe Homi also stood up, carrying a box of chocolates and chasing after her with a slightly red face.
Once the center of the storm moved away, the atmosphere in the room relaxed slightly.
Wakamatsu Junxiu moved his buttocks, leaned his chin next to Mao Lilan, and continued his work of flirting with girls: "Xiaolan, that..." He put his hands together and made shy gestures.
Mao Lilan was a little confused: "...Huh?"
Wakamatsu Junxiu hinted at failure and had to say directly: "Where is my chocolate?"
Mao Lilan: "Ah, this..."
She did make one.
But obviously not for Toshihiko Wakamatsu...
Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly, and then suddenly remembered how Suzuki Sonoko handled her piece of chocolate just now, and decided to learn from it.
She was about to take out the chocolate, said "Why don't we all share it together" and then cut it into big pieces.
But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the yard.
Conan was startled, and suddenly looked away from Wakamatsu Junxiu, got up and ran into the yard.
Someone took the lead, and others recovered and rushed out one after another.
…
After running around the corner of the house, in the front yard, Minagawa Katsuhiko was lying on the ground without any hesitation.
He held a cigarette in one hand, and the misty white smoke slowly rose. The other hand was placed on the ground, and next to it lay a piece of chocolate that had been bitten a few times.
A few meters away, Watanabe Haomi covered her mouth in shock and fell to the ground, staring blankly at Minagawa Katsuhiko who suddenly fell to the ground - the scream just now was made by her.
"Katsuhiko?" Mrs. Minagawa was stunned, and then, ignoring the elegant kimono on her body, she threw herself next to him and knelt on the ground, "Katsuhiko, what's wrong with you!?"
When Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko heard the scream, they instinctively picked up their mobile phones.
Since they didn't know if the person was still angry, they gave first aid this time.
Afterwards, after confirming that Minagawa Katsuhiko was dead, Mao Lilan sighed and silently dialed 110.
Wait until the police call is completed and hang up the phone.
Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, and while listening to what was going on next to her, she sent the situation to Jiang Xia, who had wandered off to an unknown place.
If this is a murder case, Jiang Xia, who was present just now, is considered a witness and will eventually be found by the police. Moreover, Mao Lilan remembered the previous chat with Suzuki Sonoko - they found that Jiang Xia seemed to like solving cases, maybe it was this
It can make him feel the value of his existence.
"..." She actually didn't want Jiang Xia to be involved in the case.
But now that things have happened, it’s better to let Jiang Xia come over and take a look...
