Chapter 623 The detective will only be late, never absent
"It always feels like something is missing." Yumi Miyamoto looked around and suddenly said.
Akai Shuichi recovered from the shock and asked: "Is there something wrong?"
Although Yumi Miyamoto is just a traffic policeman, she has also experienced it from the crime city of Tokyo. Shuichi Akai will not regard her intuition as a coincidence.
Miyamoto Yumi looked left and right, and gave a high-five: "I remembered it! I said why is it so strange, where is Conan-kun?"
"Conan?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard the little detective's name.
"Of course he went to school obediently in Japan." Sera Masaki didn't understand Hoshino Moto Yumi's mind.
Miyamoto Yumi laughed twice awkwardly: "I just don't know what's going on. I always feel that where there is a case, I will meet that child."
Akai Shuichi somewhat resonates with this. Conan... let's just say he has an accident constitution.
but--
"Isn't there a case that hasn't happened yet? Sister Yumi, you are too sensitive."
As soon as Sera Masumi finished speaking, she heard a series of familiar voices:
"Obviously it was my uncle who couldn't walk when he saw the high-grade whiskey. That's why we got separated from Sister Xiaolan. How can you blame me?"
Sera Masumi, Akai Shuichi: "..."
Why do you suddenly feel a little unlucky?
Yujiang showed sympathy and crossed himself on his chest: "Amen, it seems that Pietro Tam won't be able to see the sunrise tomorrow."
Sera was so excited that he quickly stopped him: "Hey Yuxian, be careful if Mr. Tam hears you saying bad things about him!"
And why did they start to announce death notices? Conan is not that magical, right? Even if there must be a case, the deceased is not necessarily Pietro Tamu, right?
At this time, Edogawa Conan had already seen Yue and the others, and he was quite surprised by this luck.
But just when Conan was about to say hello, his eyes caught the familiar figure wearing a knitted hat next to Yu Jiang.
etc!
Conan's eyes widened.
Isn't that Mr. Akai?
And there is no disguise at all, it’s just Mr. Akai who looks like him!
Even if this is the United States and the territory of the FBI, Mr. Akai is too bold...
Oops, if he goes over now, should he pretend not to know Mr. Akai? No, whether he wants to go over now or not is a question.
Yu Jiang didn't give Conan a chance to regret it. He waved and said with a smile: "Conan-kun, what a coincidence!"
Conan: "..."
He had no intention of such a coincidence!
Mouri Kogoro came over with Conan and asked strangely: "Why are you here?"
Yumi Miyamoto explained: "Because I was coming to the United States to participate in an exchange event with traffic police, Yu Xianxian accompanied me. As a result, because of her amazing talent in chess, she was invited by the organizer to participate in the competition."
She concealed Yu Jiang's true purpose of coming to the United States, but with the emotional state of her and Yu Jiang's relationship all day long, no one would doubt the authenticity of what she said.
Mouri Kogoro did not doubt that he was there, but he still doubted Yu Jiang's chess talent. He sneered: "What? It's such an exaggeration. I admit that this kid is good at shogi, but it's like a mountain. How can it be possible in chess?"
Is it so powerful?"
Mouri Kogoro even patted his chest and said: "Some people have praised me for my talent in playing chess before. If you have a chance, why not give it a try with me, boy!"
Ikue agreed obediently. Anyway, he estimated that Mouri Kogoro would soon lose the energy to compete with him.
At this moment, Mr. Colin suddenly came over.
As soon as he saw Mouri Kogoro, he happily greeted: "Oh, Detective Mouri, I kept you waiting for a long time!"
"Do you know Mr. Colin?" Sera Masaki asked.
Conan replied dryly: "Well, because it was Mr. Colin who invited uncle here, and he is our client."
The client...
Sera Masumi's expression became intriguing when she saw Mr. Colin.
Conan suppressed the urge to peek at Akai Shuichi. He really wanted Mouri Kogoro to ask who this strange man was, but Mouri Kogoro seemed invisible and did not mention this person from beginning to end. On the contrary,
We quickly chatted with Mr. Colin.
Uncle Maori, are you blind? Ah?
Akai Shuichi probably didn't want to attract too much attention, so after Mouri Kogoro attracted all the attention by himself, he took the initiative to say to Yujie: "I still have some work to do about that night, see you later."
Ikue: "Okay, Mr. Akai."
Conan: "??!"
Akai Shuichi: "...Hmm."
Although it was an accident, fortunately, Conan already knows a lot of things that he shouldn't know. Even if he finds out about his relationship with Yujiang, it doesn't matter... right?
"So for what purpose did Mr. Colin entrust Mr. Mori?" After sending Akai Shuichi off, Miyamoto Yumi interjected enthusiastically.
No need to use clichés, Mouri Kogoro has already revealed the cause and effect of the matter.
In fact, it was this former famous chess player who suddenly retired due to serious psychological problems many years ago, and he suspected that the person who caused all this was Pietro Tam, one of the organizers of the competition that year, so he asked a detective to help
He investigates.
Mouri Kogoro frowned: "This is actually a psychological problem that is so serious that it requires retirement. Do you mind telling me what caused it?"
Colin, who had always seemed relaxed and cheerful in front of Yu Jiang, suddenly fell silent after hearing these words. His eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and the only light followed Kogoro Mori closely, as if he regarded him as a life-saving straw.
Miyamoto Yumi was startled by Mr. Colin in this state, and subconsciously grabbed her boyfriend's hand: "Mr. Colin doesn't look really good..."
Shouldn't they delve deeper into this topic?
But former detective Mouri Kogoro behaved particularly unkindly on this issue. He knew clearly that Colin had to tell the reason for all this, otherwise it would be useless for them to come all the way from Japan.
Colin took a deep breath and finally made up his mind: "It's like this. I suddenly received threatening letters frequently before the competition... No, it can't actually be called threatening letters. Maybe I'm scaring myself."
He lowered his voice mysteriously: "I found that someone was following me. They broke into my room, my car, and even stole my daughter's pencil... They were using this method to imply that they had mastered everything about me.
If they want to, my family and I will die at any time."
"Them?" Conan asked.
"In fact, before these strange things happened, I may have overheard the conversation between Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Haneda Koji. I swear it was really just an accident, and I didn't hear anything. I just accidentally made a little noise and they found it.
"Yes." Mr. Colin explained in a panic, while Yu Jiang's expression became more and more empty.
Ah, why is this routine so familiar?
When Belmode intervened in recruiting Taku Itakura, did he use a similar method?
