Chapter 470 This Detective Is Worth Killing

When Conan heard that he was going to the police station to provide testimony, he remembered that that time period happened to be the movie time they had made an appointment with Jiang Xia.

When Conan asked about it at the time, the bear kids said it was not a big problem.

Conan then naively thought that the three children had already told Jiang Xia that they wanted to release Jiang Xia's pigeons.

Unexpectedly, when the appointed time came, the bear kid begged Conan hesitantly to call Jiang Xia and drop the movie together - just like a group of gamblers who postpone their vacation homework until the last night Devil, do not want to face.

Conan has always been helpless with these children.He sighed and took out his phone.

Conan is not afraid of Jiang Xia.

But not afraid of returning home, as a representative of the pigeon people, he still has some guilt in his heart for colluding with the brats.

——In Conan’s view, Jiang Xia is obsessed with asking children to go out to watch movies together. It may be because Jiang Xia didn’t have a chance to experience it when she was a child, so now she is curious and wants to try "everyone sits in the cinema and watches the series of childhood memory movies".

In this case……

After Conan finished releasing the pigeons, in Jiang Xia's silence, he took the time to mend his conscience:

"Speaking of which, yesterday I bought a mystery novel and got a few movie tickets in the lottery. Why don't you ask Xiaolan and the others to go together tomorrow."

...Xiao Lan is definitely not afraid of Jiang Xia, nor will she be delayed by events and frequently miss appointments like this group of ignorant brats.

Moreover, Conan was considerate - he felt that the reason why Jiang Xia insisted on bringing the children along instead of asking Mao Lilan and other friends to watch Gomera movies together was probably because he felt that high school students were too embarrassed to watch such children's movies.

And the excuse of "lottery draw" can solve this problem smoothly.After all, it was something that was drawn, so if you don't look at it for nothing, and with him as a "child", Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko will not feel too unnatural.

On the other side of the phone, Jiang Xia still didn't speak.Through the earpiece, he could faintly hear his breathing—it didn't seem like he threw the phone away in a fit of anger, but he was in deep thought.

Conan paused, glanced at the young detective team next to him, and then thought about Jiang Xia who might have gone out and was about to go to the movie theater, but was dove innocently, couldn't help but added in a low voice:

"By the way, Officer Sato seems to have encountered a difficult case. If you have no other arrangements, you can contact her some time and ask for details."

... As for whether Jiang Xia will come to Police Officer Sato after asking the details, and then meet the children who are following Officer Sato to confirm the scene of the sighting, that is another matter.

Afterwards, Conan discovered that Jiang Xia was able to "feel the meaning of his own existence from solving the case" as he himself said.

——Different from the silence just now, as soon as the words about "difficult cases" came out, Jiang Xia responded quickly, and seemed to be in a good mood: "Okay, I'll ask, and you should pay more attention to safety when investigating."

"Yeah." Conan breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.

Then he ignored the angry eyes of the three children who seemed to be saying "traitor!", took out his wallet, and glanced bitterly at the few thin banknotes inside.

Just now Conan said that he won a movie ticket... It is impossible to win a prize in a lottery. Mao Li and his daughter and Jiang Xia are very good at this kind of thing, but he is much inferior.

Originally, Conan planned to use the remaining pocket money to buy a newly released hardcover edition of Detective Zuowen.

But now, there are four more tickets to buy.Calculated, the remaining money is not enough to buy a whole set of books.But if you buy one or two fewer copies, there is no point in collecting...

Conan struggled for a moment, and a card that seemed to be emitting golden light slowly emerged in his mind.

— His dad's credit card.

...Well, that's the decision.

After all, this body can't work, and the money will only get less and less.I used to be able to use a month's pocket money, but now it is always not enough... Before recovering, let's hug my parents' thighs.

……

A scheduled movie trip was cancelled.

Jiang Xia glanced at the phone a little bored, remembering what Conan said later, he was idle anyway, so he called Officer Sato.

The call was quickly connected.

"Jiangxia?" Miwako Sato was a little puzzled at first, and then suddenly alerted, "You want to call the police? How is the prisoner?"

Jiang Xia: "..."

Did Officer Sato misunderstand him a bit...

Jiang Xia decided not to worry about these trivial things: "No, I haven't encountered a case. It's just that I heard from Conan just now that you have a difficult case here, so I want to ask if I can help you."

Miwako Sato breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that I didn't meet the prisoner. It turns out that Conan was calling you just now..."

She was with the Boys Detectives at this time—Officer Sato was responsible for taking Ayumi to the place where she saw the arson suspect, confirming the sighting location, and looking for evidence around.

When Conan called just now, Miwako Sato also received a call from the Megure Police Department, so she didn't pay attention to what Conan said.

But now, she thought, this kid with glasses was reporting to Jiang Xia.The speed of delivering the news is really fast... Could it be that the abnormal words and deeds that Conan showed before are also related to the close communication between him and Jiang Xia?

Miwako Sato's thinking went astray a little, and she quickly retracted, turning to Jiang Xia's business question that she had just asked her.

"We are chasing an arsonist." After Miwako Sato finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that the arsonist had left no mystery so far, so it probably couldn't be considered a "difficult case" in the eyes of detectives.What Conan and Jiang Xia were referring to should be another case that was mentioned during the chat just now.

Considering the detective's strong curiosity and Jiang Xia's occasional extraordinary action, Miwako Sato patiently explained:

"Actually, it's not a difficult case - I took Ayumi and the others to confirm the scene of the arsonist. This area happened to be very close to the place where my father died. So on the way, I stopped by to pay homage to my father, and then I met a few old classmates of my father, and chatted a little more about the mystery of the year.

"Kids don't understand the statute of limitations. Conan may have mistakenly thought that this is the current case, so I want you to track down the criminal... But in fact, the case that led to my father's death happened 18 years ago, and it has been three years since the end of the prosecution period. gone."

Jiang Xia listened to a few key words, and gradually got an impression: "Which one is the 'Chou Si Lang Incident'?"

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly felt something, his eyes paused slightly, and his peripheral vision turned to a certain direction.

There just happened to be a train coming into the station.

After the vehicle stopped, four gray-haired old people got out of the car talking and laughing.

Walking towards the exit and passing Jiang Xia, the four of them heard the word "Chou Si Lang Incident" and subconsciously glanced in Jiang Xia's direction.

One of the short men was startled suddenly after recognizing Jiang Xia's identity as a detective.

Then there was a clear murderous look on him.
