Kouki Sawaki gripped the cloth cover on the steering wheel and secretly wiped the cold sweat from his palms.
Calm down.
Even if this young detective is really talented and detects something wrong with the "eighth victim", then Jiang Xia must only be doubting him at present, not having any evidence.
——Otherwise, with Jiang Xia's habit of solving crimes, he would have told everything long ago. Instead of just sitting closer and observing him secretly like now.
Thinking of this, Sawaki was certain in his heart.
——As long as he survives these ten minutes and reaches the water crystal, he can still carry everyone.
He knew the location of the bomb in the restaurant, after all he had planted it himself.
At that time, as long as Jiang Xia is secretly guided before the detonation, so that Jiang Xia is closer to the detonation point, everything will be solved together.
Since it has been decided to kill so many people, of course there is no shortage of a detective. In short, for his own peaceful life in the future, this shrewd detective must die in the water crystal!
With this thought in mind, Kouki Sawaki put down the handbrake and started driving.
At the same time, like a serious good guy who doesn't mind being rubbed in the car, he smiled and nodded at Jiang Xia, determined to wear the good guy mask until the end.
However, when he turned around, Sawaki was surprised to find that Jiang Xia did not look at him warily, nor did he look like a detective staring at a prisoner.
On the contrary, Jiang Xia's eyes were very friendly and his expression was very comfortable. He was leaning back on the chair comfortably, looking inexplicably reminiscent of a cat clinging to a heat source on a cold day.
...However, for a would-be murderer, this detective is not as dangerous as a cat.
Kouki Sawaki only felt that there was a leopard sitting next to him, ready to jump up and bite him at any time.
The kingly aura he had just built up to carry the whole audience was released with a crash, and Jiang Xia's weird eyes stared at him with horror.
...What on earth does this detective want to do?
…
Kouki Sawaki unknowingly drove the car very fast, just wanting to get to his field quickly.
The group of people following behind were a little confused at first, but then they thought about it and felt that Mr. Sawaki might be eager to open a store and didn't want to be late for such an important meeting with Boss Asahi, so they all expressed their understanding and drove to follow him.
Several people soon arrived at Tokyo Bay.
The weather was sunny, the sea was calm, and the water was blue. A long cable car track protruded from the shore and extended all the way into the center of the bay.
Jiang Xia looked along the track and found that at the end of it, there was a luxurious offshore building that looked like a low-end version of the Sydney Opera House - this was the water crystal that was completed not long ago.
A group of people briefly admired the spectacular scenery, and then prepared to take the cable car to the Water Crystal Restaurant according to "Xu Shengyi"'s instructions.
At this moment, as if they had made an appointment, four more luxury cars drove up nearby, and four celebrities got out of them.
——Supermodel Nana Koyamauchi, essayist Minoru Nishina, photographer Nagaaki Shishido, and foreign boss Peter Ford.
Koyamauchi Nana's name "Nana" sounds the same as "seven", plus the six of Shinto Nagaaki, the five of Mori Kogoro, the four of Peter Ford (four), the full name of Shiratori Police Department Shiratori Rensaburo, As well as Nishina Ren, everyone is almost there.
It's almost the same, because there is still one "one" missing.
Jiang Xia remembered that the last "one" refers to Kudo Shinichi.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but take another look at Sawaki Hiroshi, who was entangled in murderous aura.
This man seemed to dislike him so much, why didn't he mind Kudo Shinichi's involvement in the case? Could it be that he also discovered that Kudo Shinichi often stepped on the dead line to solve serial murder cases and wouldn't he interfere with him before everything happened?
...From this point of view, Sawaki Koichi is not as timid as he seems. Instead, he is a person who is willing to pursue excitement and challenges to a certain extent.
That would be easy.
I hope he can be free from external interference and concentrate on what he should do...
…
Several of the celebrities knew each other, and they were reasonably polite to the detectives and police officers.
A group of people chatted casually for a few words, and then discovered that Xu Shengyi had made an appointment with all of them at the same time to meet at three o'clock.
This made the celebrities feel a little abnormal and slightly uncomfortable.
But no matter how unhappy I am, I still have to go to the appointment, after all, my boss pays me. They comforted themselves by saying that Xu Shengyi would meet several people at the same time, maybe it was just because the schedule was too busy and couldn't be arranged, or there were some collaborative projects with many people...
It's almost three o'clock.
In order not to be late, the celebrities prepared to go to the restaurant first.
The Mumu Police Department could only stop talking about the case and planned to explain the situation in detail to a few people when they got to the place. Xu Shengyi happened to be there at that time.
When going upstairs to look for the cable car, Conan looked at the group of people in front of him, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that something was wrong.
After a few seconds, his expression suddenly changed, he pulled Jiang Xia and whispered, "Did you notice that except for 'three' or 'one', the people here happened to have gathered all the remaining numbers."
Jiang Xia was slightly confused: "'Or'?"
...Even if Conan didn't know that the full name of the Shiratori Police Department is "Shiratori Rensaburo", he shouldn't have used the strange word "or".
It's as if there is someone who can break it into various numbers at will, and make up whatever needs to be added...
Conan nodded solemnly: "The horizontal sign in your 'xia' can be broken into three, or... the three dots of water can be broken into 'three'? In addition, the 'jiang' can be broken into 'one' or 'two', and also... The vertical one can be the Arabic numeral '1'!"
Jiang Xia: "..."
To be fair, whose name doesn’t have a horizontal or vertical character in it...
He sighed: "'Three' may refer to the Shiratori Police Department. When I went to the police station before, I saw his full name on the duty list, 'Shiratori Rensaburo'. As for the 'one'..."
Jiang Xia came closer to Conan who was randomly picking off other people's names, and suddenly whispered: "Didn't you come to keep an appointment - Kudo Shinichi?"
Conan was meditating on the significance of Xu Shengyi dating so many people, but Jiang Xia suddenly called out his real name.
He felt an inexplicable chill on his back, and thought horribly: "But how did Murakami know that I was coming?...Speaking of this, I always feel that as a person who has just been released from prison, he has too much information - The man who sent poisonous chocolate to Aunt Yingli before happened to choose her favorite brand, and the uncle just walked past her in anger, so it was a perfect time to send chocolate to apologize..."
Jiang Xia glanced at Conan silently, and suddenly felt that it might be a bit dangerous for him to think along this path.
——When Mouri Kogoro pissed Feiying away, Sawaki Koichi happened to be in the same hotel with them and even opened a bottle of wine for them.
Looking at the case of Fei Yingli alone, Sawaki's suspicion level is off the charts.
