Although she felt that Kobayashi Sumiko would not take a long way to attend the fireworks show from the other side of the street, from a cautious point of view, Haibara Ai was still prepared to ask Dr. Agasa if they had seen each other.
When asked about Conan, the detective boy frowned and said:
"I didn't see Teacher Xiaolin, but I just met the bookstore owner. Please wait a moment..."
As he spoke, he turned around and ran in a certain direction.
After a while, he came back out of breath: "The boss said he didn't sell the book to Teacher Xiao Lin..."
this……
No way?
Several people looked solemn.
Ye Gengyi didn't have such strong emotions as them, but he felt a little sad that the head teacher of the primary school student who was the god of death, the only thing he did wrong today was meeting Conan in the bookstore.
Conan immediately took out his cell phone and called Xiaolin Chengzi, but the call was not answered.
Nothing will really happen...
The group of people walked along the road in the direction of the bookstore.
Stay away from night markets.
The gorgeous fireworks are still blooming behind you.
At this moment, a scream that clearly covered up the 'bang' sound pierced the air and came from the alley not far ahead.
"What, what happened?!"
A passerby was startled by the shout.
Conan, Haibara, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta rushed over without saying a word.
Ye Gengyi asked himself that he couldn't carry five with one hand, so he and Dr. A Li speeded up and rushed over there.
The flashlight beam dispersed the darkness in the alley.
Kobayashi Chengzi slumped on the ground, covering her face with her hands and closing her eyes in fear.
"Teacher!? Teacher Xiaolin, are you okay!?" Conan was the first to run over.
"Ke, Conan..."
Xiaolin Chengzi was startled for a moment, then immediately waved her hand and shouted: "Don't come over, you will be killed by that person..."
Before she could finish her words, Conan had already run up to her.
Looking up again, the prisoner who had planned to silence her had disappeared.
There was only a victim lying in a pool of blood in front of the corner of the alley.
"Yes, I'm saved..."
Kobayashi Chengzi was trembling all over, obviously she had not yet recovered from the shock.
At this time, a voice that could not be said to be cold, but sounded particularly frightening in this dark alley:
"died?"
"Ah!" Xiaolin Chengzi was startled again.
Conan, who was standing next to the victim, first glanced this way speechlessly, then adjusted his eyes slightly to avoid being beaten, and then said:
"There is no breathing or pulse anymore. This amount of bleeding should have directly injured the internal organs of the body, but there seems to be no murder weapon left at the scene..."
He looked around again, but unfortunately he couldn't find any obvious traces.
I thought it was a robbery, but it turned out to be a murder... But with this little detective here, I wasn't surprised at all.
Ye Gengyi also didn't find anyone hiding nearby. He looked at Xiaolin Chengzi and said:
"Call the police first. Do you have a mobile phone?"
Conan called at least 7 or 8 times on the way here. Since this elementary school teacher has not had any accidents, why couldn't he receive any calls?
"ah?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Kobayashi Chengzi's reaction was obviously a few beats slower. After groping in her pocket for a while, she said in a daze:
"My hand, my phone is missing..."
"Let me call." Mitsuhiko dug out a number from his address book and dialed it.
The call was answered quickly.
After listening to the beginning, Ye Geng knew that the person the child was calling was Gao Mushe.
…
Ten minutes later.
Takagi Sheba drove over alone.
Several people stood on one side of the alley and looked towards the street, a little surprised that they didn't see any other police cars.
"I stayed up late last night to follow and monitor. I haven't gone to the Metropolitan Police Department today, but don't worry, I contacted the nearest police station on the way here. They will send someone over soon..."
With two dark circles under his eyes, Takagi Wataru explained to everyone, and then walked toward the alley in a daze. Before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly started and looked at Xiaolin Chengzi:
"Police Sato Sato..."
"She's not."
Conan's half-moon eyes interrupted: "This is our primary school teacher."
"Eh?!"
Takagi Wataru immediately became energetic and looked at the other party carefully for a while.
"Uh, um...I..."
Kobayashi Chengzi took a few steps back nervously.
"Hey! Officer Takagi, what do you want to do?" Genta stood between the two of them, raising his head and glaring at each other.
My Sato would not have such a feminine reaction... I really admitted my mistake...
Takagi Sheba sweated, apologized quickly, and brought the topic back to the case.
Ye Gengyi was at another exit of the alley, waiting to see if the murderer would return to the scene. When he saw Gao Mushe, he came over and told him roughly how the several people encountered the case.
"So that's it." Takagi Shita nodded.
When Kobayashi Sumiko was narrating what happened, the teacher suddenly experienced this kind of thing, his mind went blank, and he was hesitant and unable to speak a complete sentence.
The key points to extract are:
"When I was passing by, I heard someone arguing in the alley. When I came in, I found that this person was already lying on the ground..."
In this regard, Takagi Wataru was also helpless.
"Mr. Ye..." He turned to ask for help from an expert from a technical association.
"I have said everything that needs to be said. Since there are no clues at the scene, you should find a way to investigate the identity of the deceased. If you are not unlucky and encounter a random murderer, it would normally be done by an enemy."
Ye Gengyi's fish eyes were dead.
It’s okay to be forced to be a half-witness, so what? Do you still want him to touch the body?
By the way, this Takagi Wataru usually thought that he was already at the lowest limit of his IQ. Unexpectedly, due to lack of sleep, he actually allowed himself to experience a new threshold. He simply took a chance to take aptx-4869 and was lucky enough to return to the age of 7. Just follow Mitsuhiko and the others...
Feeling the disdainful gaze, Takagi Wataru coughed lightly. He wanted to calm down Sumiko Kobayashi, but it seemed that he was scared because he mistook her for Miwako Sato...
As soon as she glanced away, Kobayashi Chengzi made a gesture to retreat and escape.
"This teacher, is he deliberately hiding something?" Takagi Wataru was disturbed by Sato Miwako's filter, and he murmured in his heart. After a while, he looked here and said:
"Well...otherwise we should go to the police station to talk about it later."
"no!"
"Can't!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three children from the Youth Detective Team jumped out:
"Even if I have to ask, it should be Officer Shiratori who asks!"
ah? Officer Shiratori?
Takagi Wataru's mind has not yet turned around: "I don't know if he is on duty today..."
