To be honest, Zuo Ye actually has little confidence in Takagi Wataru's abilities.
Zuo Ye simply had some confidence in Takagi Wataru's character.
An honest person.
He should not lie or make baseless assumptions.
Especially in this situation.
Zuo Ye assumed that Takagi Wataru had grasped the truth.
And now that the root of the matter has been uncovered, it is natural that they must communicate with each other as soon as possible.
To avoid long nights and endless dreams.
So Zuoye began to urge Miwako Sato to contact the other party quickly.
However, there was still no gain.
Zuo Ye took the mobile phone from Sato Miwako's hand without hesitation, and said coldly to Takagi Wataru: "You damn boy better be dead, otherwise, even if you don't die, I guarantee you will." .”
"...I'm here, I'm here!"
Listening to Zuo Ye's voice on the other end of the phone, as if he was about to eat him alive, Takagi Wataru finally responded hastily, fearing that he would be resented if he was a step too late... There was nothing he could do, what happened to Officer Megure earlier? That it.
That time, just by being a tool, my skin was almost torn off.
If this becomes the rightful owner...then he'd better buy a coffin as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry, I just..."
Just as Takagi Wataru wanted to explain the reason for his sudden "loss of contact", he was impatiently interrupted by Zuo Ye.
"Let's get down to business!"
"Ah...ah, good!"
Takagi Wataru planned to tell his "reasoning" again, and then... halfway through, when he was about to say his name, he screamed and there was no movement.
Zuo Ye: "..."
Onlookers: "..."
"My darn thing!"
After taking a deep breath, Zuoye threw his phone to the ground and cursed angrily.
Miwako Sato next to her opened her eyes wide, looked at the corpse of the mobile phone on the ground, then looked at Zuo Ye, her mouth moved, but she still didn't dare to make a sound.
But just because Sato Miwako didn't say anything, it didn't mean that Zuo Ye would ignore her.
After turning his head, Zuo Ye looked at Miwako Sato with a very indescribable look.
If I had to say it, it would be two words.
dislike.
...Damn it, it’s none of her business, it’s not Miwako Sato who is procrastinating!
Miwako Sato pouted innocently.
But Takagi Wataru is from the police after all, and he and Miwako Sato are teammates.
So it's not surprising that he was even seated...
Only Haihara Ai reminded helplessly: "Um, Officer Takagi must be in trouble. Should we care about his safety first?"
"Oh yes."
Miwako Sato finally remembered that this was not the time to mess around, so she quickly took out her mobile phone to call her teammates. Alas, where did her mobile phone go...
His eyes turned to Zuo Ye.
Zuo Ye took out his mobile phone, but did not hand it to Miwako Sato.
Instead, he called Officer Megure himself.
...Is this girl afraid of "reciprocating"?
Miwako Sato twitched the corner of her mouth speechlessly, thinking that she was as childish as the other party.
Soon, Zuo Ye got in touch with Officer Megure, and through him he connected with Shiratori Rensaburo, and finally came to the conclusion that Takagi Wataru left alone.
Suspected to be in distress.
Officer Megure immediately arranged a team to conduct a search at Takagi Wataru's previous location.
After Zuo Ye hung up the phone, Conan began to turn his nimble little head and said: "Just now, Officer Takagi seemed to have said that the murderer back then was someone whom your father knew, Officer Zuo To, right? You met him before Did your father’s high school baseball team members say where they were going to drink?”
】
Hearing this, Miwako Sato frowned: "Do you doubt them?"
Conan said nothing, which was considered acquiescence.
Sato Miwako glanced hesitantly at Zuo Ye, who was silent on the other side.
He still told the answer.
"...I really didn't expect that the person who killed Officer Zuoto's father was actually someone he knew."
Mitsuhiko sighed with emotion.
Zuo Ye glanced at the child and said casually: "Otherwise, why do you think Masayoshi Sato didn't directly reveal the identity of the murderer when the ambulance arrived?"
"Why……"
The real children were stunned, and then they suddenly realized that there was such a loophole in Miwako Sato's description at that time.
Mitsuhiko bravely asked Zuoye for advice: "But Officer Zuotou's father knows so many people, why must it be among those four people?"
"Not necessarily."
Zuo Ye lit a cigarette: "This is just speculation... After all, except for those four people, there are no other suspicious targets within our knowledge."
"Oh, I see."
Mitsuhiko nodded thoughtfully: "Let's make a bold assumption first, and then verify it..."
While Zuo Ye was talking nonsense with the three little brats, Conan had already completed the exchange with Miwako Sato. The four "suspects" went to a pub near Shinagawa Station, and Takagi Wataru was also there. The "suspect" was caught near Shinagawa Station, so if he really discovered the truth about the case and happened to be overheard while making the phone call...
"Let's go to that tavern first!"
So, the group of people came to the tavern again.
It's a pity that we arrived late, the four guys had already dispersed and gone home.
However, this does not mean that the presence of Zuoye and others is meaningless. Miwako Zuotou asked the owner of the tavern about the situation of the four people, and the owner also told all the exchanges between the four people that he heard.
Zuoye listened briefly, turned around and realized that he had forgotten everything.
I don’t even remember a single thing... Oh, I remember a fart.
It's the man named... I forgot his name, but he has the face of an aunt.
It was said that this guy had stayed abroad for three years before.
As for why Zuo Ye remembers this incident, firstly, Conan said that the prosecution period for Masayoshi Sato's case ended exactly three years ago, and secondly, the word "foreign" always reminds him of it inexplicably. Some guy who wants to make money and run away.
Suspicions are growing.
Zuo Ye rubbed his fingers. Unfortunately, although he had doubted these four people before, it was because they were clones and they only came out to throw away garbage.
He didn't have a hammer with him.
Otherwise, you can test it out at the beginning.
In addition, during the eight... well, during the investigation, Zuo Ye also learned about another thing.
That was Miwako Sato's father. In fact, he did not die in a traffic accident.
But he was killed.
Witnesses said they saw Masayoshi Sato being pushed in front of an oncoming truck.
This led to his death in a "car accident".
Just when the case seemed to be in a frozen stage again, Haihara Ai, who was waiting in the car, suddenly ran in with a map and explained it.
Haibara Ai deduced what she thought was the arsonist's fifth and final arson location - the basis of the reasoning was that the suspect tried to outline a word "fire" on the map. .
...Is this thing reliable?
Zuo Ye looked at Haibara Ai with some suspicion. The reasoning of Conan, the god of plague, was not only a bit surprising, but also a bit unbelievable.
[Please ensure that no one dies in the mission target location within the mission time limit. You will receive 100 strengthening points upon completion. The remaining time of the mission is - 00:59:59].
Zuo Ye was stunned by the sudden mission... Damn it, he was led astray by Conan. Why are you staring at the useless truth and wondering?
Leaked. Leaked.
Zuoye left the tavern quietly.
When Conan and the others noticed that Zuo Ye was missing, when they went out to take a look, they found that the trio of real children who were waiting in the car were actually there.
There was no trace either.
His face was suddenly confused.
...What the hell is going on?
Group disappears?
How can this "elusive" setting be contagious? ?
It happened that Shiratori Rensaburo arrived at this time. After a conversation, Conan suddenly realized and thought of how Takagi Wataru saw the truth of the incident that year.
However, before Conan could speak, his detective armband buzzed again.
Near a warehouse in Shinagawa.
The trio of real children were huddled in the corner, reporting the situation and location to Conan through their detective armbands... Probably the three of them happened to see the arsonist passing by while waiting in the car, so they followed him.
After hanging up the "phone", Mitsuhiko was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but asked in a trembling voice: "Speaking of which, we followed him subconsciously, have you ever thought about what we should do if Brother Zuoye gets angry? "
Hearing this, Bu Mei and Tai were stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
"Why didn't you talk about such an important issue until now?"
Genta asked with a pale face.
"Didn't I forget about this? Otherwise, I would have contacted Conan from the beginning. At least I would have someone to share the blame with..."
Mitsuhiko replied with a sad face.
The three little kids were silent for a while, and at the same time their legs became weak and they sat down on the ground.
My life is over...
It wasn't until a while later that the trio regained some of their energy.
"Conan, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
As soon as Yuanta finished dripping, he felt something was wrong again.
Conan is here, so can Zuo Ye be far behind?
...It would be better not to come over at all.
"How long has it been? How could it be so fast?"
Mitsuhiko replied smoothly, which made Genta get excited: "It's already been ten minutes, okay, how much longer do you want, if you don't hurry up, people will run away."
"It's not even ten minutes, it's only five minutes at most!"
Mitsuhiko then took out his watch, trying to prove that his words were correct.
But because the surroundings were too dark, the trio couldn't see the watch clearly.
At this moment, a warm fire appeared behind the trio.
"You should be able to see clearly now."
"Ah...thank you..."
Before Mitsuhiko could finish thanking him, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The trio turned around at the same time, showing a ferocious smile with bloodshot eyes.
clear and distinct.
Panic suddenly came to mind.
"Ah, you can indeed see it quite clearly."
A calm voice came from behind the man, and the man's smile suddenly froze.
Looking back, a young face was looking down at him.
This moment, this scene.
Just like how the man treated the trio before.
It's just that this time the man is no longer the superior, but the complete inferior.
"You guy!"
In shock and anger, the man pulled out the dagger that shone with cold light.
Then……
"……ah!"
"thump!"
Looking at the arsonist who just screamed and fell to the ground, the trio slowly raised their heads and looked at Zuo Ye, who was holding a hammer and looking cold.
I was a little surprised and excited.
After reacting, it cooled down again, even more than before.
Zuo Ye turned his attention to the trio, making the three little kids as if they were stone statues, daring not to move at all.
"Why act privately?"
Facing Zuo Ye's question, Mitsuhiko hesitated for a while before he said "I forgot".
"That's a really good reason."
Zuo Ye sneered: "I hope that one day in the future, when you are really responsible for a case, you will also be able to forget important clues, which will prevent the murderer from being caught and lead to the innocent death of your teammates. Good detectives in the future of Neon."
"..."
So weird.
The faces of the trio were all burning with embarrassment.
Zuo Ye was too lazy to talk to the trio, and he was not his child. He only said more because the trio helped him get his vest back earlier.
And it is "protected" in a substantial sense.
So it doesn't matter if you mention it, it doesn't cost anything anyway.
After turning around, Zuo Ye walked towards the already burning warehouse.
Seeing this, Mitsuhiko immediately shouted in confusion: "Brother Zuoye, we have inquired, this is an abandoned warehouse, there should be no one in it..."
"should?"
Zuo Ye turned around and glanced at Mitsuhiko, making him immediately realize that he had said the wrong thing.
But the words are wrong and right.
You can't put another life at high risk just because of a weak possibility, right?
"I know what you're thinking, but you don't know what I'm thinking."
Zuo Ye waved his hand: "Just stay here."
After saying that, Zuo Ye walked straight across the flames of the warehouse door, and his figure gradually disappeared into the lake.
Until it disappears.
Ignoring the flames and walking into the warehouse, Zuo Ye began to search for all living creatures.
The case this time, first of all, is the extremely obvious "arsonist" who is competing with the lighter combination, and then it is to ensure that no one dies in an area. If this is the case, Zuo Ye still can't understand the danger factors. What.
It would be better to go home and listen to Yin Tengying.
It's just that when he went out and found that the trio in the car was missing, Zuo Ye thought that the target was these three kid who wanted to die. But who knew that when he got there, he discovered that although these three kid wanted to die, they didn't. Completely seeking death.
So who is waiting for him to save in this warehouse fire scene?
A name came to mind in Zuo's mind, but it felt unlikely.
...I still can't figure out what kind of inside story Masayoshi Sato's suit had, so that it could be related to this arson case.
Arriving at a corner of the warehouse, Zuo Ye saw Takagi Wataru, who was handcuffed to an iron window, sweating profusely, and desperately hitting the window with the butt of his gun.
Last time it was Sato Miwako who was handcuffed, this time it was Takagi Wataru.
Is this what is called fun?
After watching for a few seconds, Zuo Ye finally said, "What are you doing?"
The sudden sound made Takagi Wataru tremble, and he turned his head to look, but his face showed more fright: "Zuo Ye, why are you here!?"
"I should ask you this."
Zuo Ye rubbed the lighter with his left hand in his pocket: "Don't tell me that you used up all the bullets in the gun and didn't hit the handcuffs."
Um?
Why do these words feel a bit familiar... Oh, Zhang Dapao has done this before.
Takagi Wataru on the opposite side blinked and quickly explained that the handcuffs were a relic of Sato Miwako's father, so he didn't want to damage them.
I was afraid that Miwako Sato would be sad because of this.
"oh."
After Zuo Ye nodded, he turned and left.
Takagi Shedou stared and shouted quickly.
"Hey, hey, hey, Zuoye, don't leave yet, you're here now, help me!"
Takagi Wataru never expected that Zuo Ye would choose to turn around and leave directly after asking. Normally, in such a scene.
Will anyone choose to turn a blind eye and do nothing to save him? ?
Zuo Ye paused and turned around: "You won't let me touch the handcuffs, how can I help?"
"Here, you can also help me pry the window..."
Takagi Wataru replied with some embarrassment.
"I don't quite understand why you would ask me for help."
Zuo Ye glanced at the fire that was getting stronger and stronger around him: "Generally speaking, as police officers, shouldn't you all be selfless at times like this and ask citizens like us to evacuate as soon as possible to avoid risks?"
"ah……"
Takagi Wataru rubbed the back of his head: "That's true, but I always feel... if it were you, Zuo Ye, nothing would go wrong."
Zuo Ye raised his eyebrows and laughed.
"Good guy, so I am so trustworthy in your heart?"
"hey-hey."
Takagi Wataru smiled sheepishly.
"Okay, for the sake of this trust, I will help you."
Zuo Ye walked up to Takagi Wataru and raised the hammer in his hand.
Just when Takagi Wataru thought Zuo Ye was going to knock on the iron window... the hammer fell on his head, and it hit him several times!
Takagi Wataru immediately lost consciousness.
In fact, with the setting of Takagi Wataru, an honest man, superimposed as a detective, Zuo Ye may not be able to knock him out even if he hits him a dozen times, let alone a few times.
But who told this guy to just take a sap?
The blood on his head was still flowing loudly, so the difficulty of knocking him out was naturally greatly reduced.
Of course, Takagi Wataru's hands were cuffed anyway.
Even if you don't get dizzy after a few hits, you can just hit it a few more times. What a big deal.
...And just when Zuo Ye entered the warehouse, outside the warehouse.
"Hikaru, Mitsuhiko, Brother Zuoye has gone in, what should we do?"
Because of what happened just now, Genta had already instinctively regarded Mitsuhiko as the backbone of the team to replace Conan, and asked him about the next direction.
Mitsuhiko hesitated for a few seconds before taking out his detective armband.
"Listen to the command and wait quietly. Contact Conan to explain the situation."
"What's happening?"
Conan's voice came from behind, and the trio turned to look.
Shiratori Rensaburo, Haibara Ai and Conan have arrived.
"Conan!"
The two parties quickly completed the exchange.
