One thing James Blake predicted was right.
The series of accidents made the already uncontrollable events completely beyond the control of the police.
no way……
Before finding Jack Waltz, they could only wait for news from the Kyoto Prefectural Police while dealing with other impacts caused by the sniper incident.
"Police department!"
A street with few pedestrians.
Takagi Wataru ran up to Megure Thirteen out of breath and said: "I received a call from the police station. A convenience store in Mizuho Town 1-chome was robbed. The caller said that he saw the robber suspected of holding a gun, so he called us to provide support... …”
Holding a gun again...
The veins on Mu Mu Thirteen's forehead bulged.
This is the fourth 'armed' robbery case received today, and the robbers in the first three cases have been arrested. Only stolen goods and the dagger used in the robbery were found on their bodies.
The so-called guns are simply the impact of the 'random killing' incident.
However...since the reporter claimed to have seen a gun, the responsibility of the investigation cannot be left to the nearby police station.
After briefly calming down, Mumu Shisan immediately took a car to the scene of the incident.
Convenience stores, especially chain convenience stores, are, to a certain extent, an 'alternative' in Ke Xue's world.
Because, at a time when banks have not yet fully popularized cameras to settle accounts, the face and figure of the robber are clearly captured here.
"It's not a pistol. Takagi, please send this video to the nearby police station and let them identify whether he is a repeat offender."
For non-puzzle-solving cases, Mumu Thirteen handles them with ease.
But how to find the sniper and Jack Waltz, he had no idea until now.
…
…
The river water shimmered silver in the moonlight.
Ye Gengyi is like a ghost, cleverly hiding his figure between darkness and light, looking at the buildings on the side of the Sumida River.
Not far from Asakusa Chigusa, you can also see the location where Timothy Hunter and Bill Murphy were sniped.
Sure enough...the position selection is strange.
In particular, the location where Bill Murphy was sniped was actually the Komagata Bridge, which is separated from Azuma Bridge.
You must know that even if Conan did not step forward to stop him at the time, there would still be situations where the line of sight would be obstructed by passing cars.
Why not just snipe on Azuma Bridge? Is it really just about having confidence in your own abilities...
Questions flashed through Ye Gengyi's mind, but he did not focus on it because all problems could be solved soon.
Habitually checking the surrounding environment, Ye Gengyi exhaled gently, and then used the face-changing card to change his appearance on the dark side where the light could not reach.
The burden on his nerves made him frown slightly.
But he didn't even pause in his movements.
The black fades.
What appeared on him was a slim-fitting suit.
Ye Geng straightened his temples and put a pair of glasses made of nanorobots on the bridge of his nose.
His whole person suddenly gained a touch of elegance, which was in sharp contrast to the indifference in his eyes.
He stretched his neck and then walked in the direction of Asakusa Chigusa.
…
The next day, afternoon.
The United Television Station of the Metropolitan Police Department disclosed the death information of Bill Murphy, saying that the same prisoner killed him and Timothy Hunter, and that the woman who was unfortunately involved in the sniper incident was gradually improving from her injuries.
It turns out it was not a random killing...
Under the influence of psychological factors, many people were once again guided by public opinion and chose to believe the analysis of experts.
Fifth-chome, Mori Detective Agency.
Conan carried the skateboard to the second floor and shouted to Mouri Kogoro who was sitting at his desk and didn't know what he was thinking:
"Uncle, sister Xiaolan just called and said that sister Seriang has woken up. I plan to go over and visit her now."
"Very good!"
Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up and he subconsciously stood up. He touched the map on the table with his palm, sat back and said:
"Sorry, please go ahead. I have to think about the recent cases. If the final dice matches my reasoning, the mystery will be solved."
"Eh!? Really!"
Conan asked expectantly: "Uncle, do you know the meaning of the dice?"
"Of course, with my great detective on hand, this kind of problem can be easily solved!"
Mouri Kogoro explained:
"The meaning of the dice is actually counting down. It was just because of the shaking of the bridge that the number of the last dice accidentally changed from 1 to 5."
"..."
Please, not to mention how the bridge body has to shake to affect a dice placed on it, even if the original number left by the murderer is really 1, then why did Mr. Waltz secretly leave the hotel?
Sigh... What on earth was I expecting... Conan held his forehead with one hand, feeling that a few minutes of his life had been wasted like this.
He decisively stopped listening to the nonsense of his tool man, turned around and ran downstairs, taking out his cell phone and calling Dr. A Li.
Yoneka Town 2-chome.
After receiving the call from Conan, Dr. Agasa also conveyed the news to several people in the living room that Sera Masumi had regained consciousness, and asked them if they wanted to visit the hospital together.
After living in Ni-chome for a few days, the three little heads, who had already been suffocated, were eager to give it a try. They gathered together to discuss what gifts they would bring later.
Haiyuan Ai came to Ye Gengyi who was also sitting on the sofa watching TV. Before he could speak, he was interrupted by this organizational cadre who came back in the early morning but showed no sign of staying up late on his face:
"Don't go."
Hearing this, Dr. Ali and the three children from the Junior Detective Team looked at him.
"Is there any danger?" Haiyuan asked.
"50%." Ye Gengyi said.
so tall! ?
Hui Yuan Ai was startled, and his expression suddenly became more solemn.
She pointed to the news that was still playing on the TV and asked on behalf of everyone: "Could this be a bait set by the police?"
"It's a bait, but it's not to catch the murderer." Ye Gengyi said.
Does this person have to ask and answer questions? He is not Edogawa... Haibara Ai can only continue to ask:
"Can you be more specific?"
"You should be able to empathize..."
Ye Geng glanced at Dr. A Li one by one:
"Being bound by emotions, people are often more willing to believe in the results they expect. You have been bored at home for a few days and suddenly see such news on TV. Even if you know that the sniper has not been arrested yet, you know that the other party will kill someone next time. Sometimes it will still cause casualties to others, but you still feel lucky and think that you won't be so unlucky, right?"
Well……
"..."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much quieter.
