Kouki Sawaki withdrew his gaze from observing Jiang Xia and Conan, and looked forward again, with murderous intent surging in his eyes.
He remembered what happened when Conan saw him tasting the seasonings in the kitchen just now.
If he remembered correctly, not long after that, he discovered that Conan was whispering something to Jiang Xia - this child seemed to be Jiang Xia's spy.
However, Sawaki Koichi was very sure. Jiang Xia had already been eyeing him even before he left his home, so Jiang Xia had to follow him wherever he went... He must have planned to take action as soon as he found something strange about him.
uniform.
In this case……
Kohei Sawaki thought of the crossbows he had set up and sneered silently.
He calmly adjusted his position.
Jiang Xia followed him. As soon as Sawaki changed his position, Jiang Xia also made a slight movement and was exposed to the range of the crossbow.
Sawaki Koi looked at this scene with his peripheral vision, thinking about what was about to happen, he felt much more comfortable.
Even if they can't kill anyone, this wave is not a loss - the crossbow mechanism is just the beginning, there are many bombs waiting to be detonated later.
As long as Jiang Xia can be injured now, his actions will be slow, and his subsequent escape will become difficult.
In the end, Jiang Xia could only be buried in this underwater restaurant together with Nana Koyamauchi, Asahi Shengyi, and Minoru Nishina.
perfect script
…
The three of them had their own thoughts and walked towards the place where the red wine was stored.
Conan was curiously looking at the wine on the cabinets on both sides. At this time, he suddenly felt a line of silver passing through his field of vision - in front of him, at the height of an adult's calf, there was actually an extremely thin steel wire being pulled.
Conan looked at it, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He alertly shouted to Sawaki Fair: "Stop!"
Sawaki's reaction was half a beat too slow. He was in a hurry and "accidentally" broke the wire.
Almost at the same time, a tense sound of bow strings sounded, which was particularly harsh in the closed wine warehouse.
The sound comes from behind itself.
Conan was startled when he thought of Jiang Xia following them, and turned anxiously: "Be careful!"
The sharp crossbow arrows struck instantly, and Conan couldn't see its shadow at all. He only heard a sound of piercing the air in despair.
At this moment, Jiang Xia raised his hand at a speed that he couldn't see clearly. The crossbow arrow was like a piece of flying cotton wool, and he just casually caught it in his hand.
Under the shocked gazes of the two people behind him, Jiang Xia lowered his head and looked at the murder weapon.
Then he looked at the direction it was flying from and said calmly: "There is no one... This should be a trigger mechanism arranged by the attacker in advance. From this point of view, the person who left the letter has a big problem."
Conan, who was already reviewing methods to stop bleeding: "..."
Although he doesn't know why, he always forgets the setting "Jiang Xia is actually very good at fighting". But this time...if I read it right, the arrow was shot from Jiang Xia's back.
...can you catch this too?
Conan looked at Jiang Xia, who was unscathed, and then at the arrow in his hand. Apart from admiration, he was also a little envious.
If he had such a skill back then, he might not have had to deal with Gin's sap when he was near the amusement park, nor would he have to be shrunk like he is now.
...Why didn't he follow this group of young boys and learn fighting skills before?
I regret it now, very much.
…
Just now, the sound of the crossbow being fired, as well as Conan and Sawaki's exclamations, quickly attracted others.
The Mumu Police Department looked at the arrow in Jiang Xia's hand and felt very familiar: "This is the same as the one that the attacker shot in my stomach before! I heard that Dr. A Li was also attacked by it."
Jiang Xia handed the metal arrow to the Mumu Police Department and went to the cabinet at the end of the corridor.
He looked at the crossbow hidden inside and the "Eight of Spades" next to the crossbow: "It should be the same attacker."
While a group of police officers and detectives were discussing this new attack in low voices, Sawaki Taira stood nearby with a very ugly expression on his face.
When several other people saw him like this, they did not become suspicious, but thought it was normal - judging from the playing cards next to the murder weapon, the attacker's target was Taira Sawaki, and it was understandable that he was frightened.
However, one person didn't think so.
——As a "prophet" with God's perspective, Jiang Xia knew in his heart that the real reason for Sawaki's ugly face was that he did not expect that a detective who seemed to prefer to solve problems with his mind was not weak in force value.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but thank the police and the media.
The cases Jiang Xia comes across are often sudden, and few media are present in advance.
Since the police discovered that the prisoners taken from Jiang Xia looked more or less humanoid, some police officers rarely reported reporters immediately out of consideration for protecting minors and protecting the reputation of detectives.
Put it into the scene.
The result of this is that not many people know about Jiang Xia's treatment of prisoners.
I heard that a tabloid once got the inside story from somewhere and tried to criticize this kind of abuse of prisoners and lack of humane care.
However, after the report was published, it failed to trigger society's thinking on the ethics of detectives. Instead, only letters of protest and unsubscription notices came like a snowflake.
The innocent tabloid was scolded for making things up out of nothing, using imprecise wording, and deliberately distorting and misleading the truth - how could a high school detective who hates evil beat someone for no reason?
Even if he was beaten, it must be because the prisoner was too cruel and Jiang Xia had no choice but to defend himself.
Otherwise, what else can I do? Do I have to be beaten by the prisoner?
Therefore, later on, few reporters mentioned this matter, and they only focused on reconstructing those cases with fancy techniques.
In the final analysis, the audience of detective newspapers in this world cares more about the quality of the case. As long as the method is novel enough and the narrative is eye-catching enough, is the detective who solves the case a ruthless mole-beating machine in private, or is he just a habitual ally with the criminal?
Nice people who have long conversations are actually not that important.
Now it seems that Kohei Sawaki, like some other criminals, was misled by reports that never mentioned Jiang Xia's hands-on ability.
Jiang Xia was secretly glad that this was the case - otherwise, what if Sawaki was too afraid of him before and forcefully refused to take him with excuses such as "Isn't today a working day? Why don't high school students go to school?" and suggested that the police take him away.
If students who skip classes are sent back to school... then things will be very bad.
…
In the wine warehouse, the Mumu Police Department and the others were still discussing the next countermeasures in low voices.
Jiang Xia secretly observed Mr. Sawaki and found that the murderous aura in this man flashed several times like a light bulb.
