Conan's Helping People

Chapter 411 Danger

The ambulance flashed on the street with a "wow, wow, wow, wow" sound.

Mao Lilan was lying on the car window, her purple eyes reflecting the colorful lights of the ambulance. She blinked, then looked out of the car and looked at Kudo Yusaku and Megure Thirteen who were talking not far away.

She didn't need to listen to the sound blowing in the wind, just by looking at Mumu Shisan's happy expression from ear to ear, she could easily deduce that the case must have been solved.

And from the time Kudo Yusaku took them out to play, to the sudden murder, to the police arriving, it only took two hours!

In fact, even the victims were taken away by ambulances and rescued, and there are currently no casualties.

While Mao Lilan clenched his fists and prayed, ‘That victim can definitely be rescued!’, he couldn’t help but exclaim, ‘How amazing!’.

She looked at Kudo Yusaku who was solving the case lightly with bright eyes.

Kudo Shinichi stared at her faintly. After more than ten seconds, he found that she was still in a state of admiration with bright eyes, so he poked her and said, "It's obvious that the victim I found was poisoned!"

Fortunately, it's not the "even if the ambulance comes, hang up the call for help here, the victim there will also hang up" type of poison, otherwise it will really happen that the call is hung up here, and when you look back, the victim also hangs up.

thing.

Mao Lilan turned to look at Kudou Shinichi and nodded vigorously, "Shinichi is so awesome too!"

'also'.

Kudo Shinichi's eyes turned into dead fish eyes.

He glanced out the car window a few times and spotted a relatively slender figure among the crowd.

The figure looked to be only one or two years older than them, with a loose low ponytail and a furry blanket wrapped around his body. His eyes were rounded because he was frightened. His eye sockets were still red, and his cheeks had round and soft lines.

A few traces of tears.

A policewoman was half-hugging her, slowly patting her shoulder to comfort her, probably saying some comforting words to reassure her that the matter was over and her mother would definitely be fine.

The little girl with tears in her eyes was the daughter of the victim.

She didn't like to drink bitter coffee, so she kept stirring the coffee, lowering her head from time to time and pretending to take a sip, but in fact, she didn't take a sip and secretly transferred the coffee to the handkerchief with a spoon.

The handkerchief was placed on the chair, but she only sat halfway down.

When they just passed by, Kudo Shinichi noticed something was wrong from the cup of coffee that kept stirring and the handkerchief, so he quietly told Kudo Yusaku.

Kudo Yusaku simply observed for a few seconds, then immediately called an ambulance and police personnel, and immediately induced vomiting for the victim who had not yet developed a poisoning reaction, and finally rescued the victim in time.

but……

"She just now," Kudo Shinichi, "really didn't drink at all."

"Is coffee that bitter..."

Mao Lilan turned to look at him, "Is this the reason why Xinyi kept questioning people and making them cry?"

She puffed out her cheeks.

Kudo Shinichi immediately objected, "No!"

"I'm just a little curious," his voice lowered and he hesitated, "...I thought of Brother Hinata."

"I still think Hinata-nii really drank poisonous water before."

"When I asked about it just now, their reactions were all different!"

Feeling that this was a very strong evidence, Kudo Shinichi's voice immediately raised to normal volume, and his tone became more confident, "When I asked Hinata-nii, he didn't react with fear at all, he looked like he didn't care.

"

"But when I asked that person just now, she was about to cry. She was scared and aggrieved. She even choked with sobs and asked if my mother would be okay."

"Is this a normal reaction?"

"Of course," his voice dropped again, "different personalities have different reactions..."

A tiny bit of difference.

However, Kudo Shinichi still felt that it was reasonable for Hinata to drink poisonous water.

If you drink, why should you hide it? And why is it okay?

Kudo Shinichi thought about it carefully and hesitantly concluded: Could it be that he hid it just because he had nothing to do?

Rejected again.

How could a normal person be fine after drinking poisonous water?

The poison that time was a poison that would cause the victim to hang up along with the call for help. It was not a poison that some people would be fine with but would be fatal to others.

Thinking about it, he looked up and saw Kudo Yusaku walking over, and quickly calmed his expression and looked over.

Kudo Yusaku stopped by the car window. He smiled gently at Mao Lilan, "Sorry, let me let the police officer take you home first? A murder occurred not far away. I may need to go and take a look."

"Also," he pinched his brows, "there was another 'suicide case' yesterday. I want to check the scene records."

A suicide case refers to a murder case in which the victim seems to want to commit suicide. Of course, you can also add a prefix of "the police think". It is not just two cases at the same time, but a series of them superimposed on each other.

There will be several cases across Tokyo, and the characteristic is that the victim died extremely cleanly, and the murderer really did not deliberately disguise the case as suicide.

Kudo Yusaku came across it so many times that he started to pay attention to it.

Kudo Shinichi is also particularly interested in this series of cases. Although the murderer is most likely a passing murderer who is particularly unfriendly to detectives, it happens so frequently that he must be caught quickly, otherwise

More victims will be killed.

He hesitated.

Kudo Yusaku predicted and said with a smile: "I have already agreed with Officer Megure that he will ask the officer to help take you home, Shinichi."

Obviously, I didn’t refuse to let him participate in the case before...

Probably because of this series of serial cases, it is obvious that black people are solving black people...

Kudo Shinichi nodded obediently, "Okay."

Kudo Yusaku looked at him a few more times and smiled helplessly, "The recent situation is a bit special. You and Xiaolan may be in danger."

"Xiaolan will be left to your protection."

Mao Lilan blinked.

Kudo Shinichi, who said "Okay" on the surface, but actually said "Wait for me!" immediately asked, "What's the danger?!"

"Yes..." Yusaku Kudo smiled and paused, "I can't tell you for the time being."

He handed the keys to the police officer, waved his hand, and told the two children, "Remember not to separate. If there is an unexpected situation, call me."

The police officer opened the car door and got in, then poked his head in respectfully, "Mr. Kudo, shall I take them back to Kudo's house?"

Kudo Yusaku nodded.

He waved his hand again and watched the car go away, then stopped the smile on his face, turned around and walked towards Officer Memu.

In the car driving away, Kudo Shinichi pondered thoughtfully, and said to himself: "It's strange, it's the truth."

"What dangers could there be?"

He lay half-lying on the car window and meditated for a moment. He caught a hint of purple at the bottom of his field of vision. He subconsciously lowered his gaze and saw Mao Lilan sitting by the car window at close range, who was forced to shrink into a small ball by him.

.

Only a few centimeters apart, they could touch each other's eyes.

...wait...wait, this distance...

Before Kudo Shinichi exploded on the spot, Mao Lilan blinked and reached out to hold his shoulders to stop him from moving.

She only glanced at him and then moved away without paying much attention. She continued to focus on looking out the car window and asked in confusion, "Hey, is that Hinata's brother's friend?"

"What?" Kudo Shinichi adjusted his posture in a panic, and reluctantly turned his head to look over as if nothing had happened.

There was a black Porsche parked on the street, and two people were standing beside the car talking. One of them only showed a little bit of his shoulders and head, and it was Hinata Reason.

It's been a month or two since the New Year, and it's still spring. Hinata is wearing a black sweatshirt, which looks a little thin.

The other person was a guy with long silver hair wearing a long black trench coat. His expression was particularly cold and solemn. He looked at Hinata with a frown and was saying something coldly.

Hinata nodded rationally.

The silver-haired guy paused, his expression became even colder, and he put his hands in his pockets.

Kudo Shinichi's eyes narrowed, "That guy..."

He is a dangerous person.

His eyes fell on the silver-haired guy's hands and pockets, and then moved downwards, stopping at the circular notch on the hem of the long black windbreaker.

It's a bullet mark.

Kudo Shinichi became serious.

Just as he was about to turn around to talk to the police officer driving the car, he saw Hinata suddenly tilted her head and glanced over.

They looked at each other.

The silhouette of the silver-haired guy moved, and he was about to turn his head to look over, but was stopped by Hinata's reasonable call.

They chatted for a while, and the silver-haired guy nodded with a frown, turned around, opened the door, stared at Hinata and sat in properly, locked the door, and walked around to the driver's seat to get in the car.

Before getting in the car, Hinata shook her head slightly.

Kudo Shinichi saw it.

He lay on the car window and stared at the rearview mirror outside the window until the black Porsche disappeared from the rearview mirror, then he sat upright.

Then he quickly called and shook people up.

——Now of course it’s an unexpected situation!

While dialing the phone, Kudo Shinichi turned to lean on the seat in the front row and said: "Brother police officer, did you see the black vehicle just now? Can you turn and follow it?"

The man in black was definitely not a kind person. He turned around and followed him to show that he was following him. The police officer driving the car was wearing a police uniform, which was really conspicuous.

Kudo Shinichi could only wait until the car left the street, judged that it was at a relatively close distance, and had time to keep up with the black Porsche from a distance, before saying please.

The police officer glanced at him and refused without hesitation, "No, little brother, Mr. Kudo said that you can't be allowed to follow him to the crime scene."

After saying that, he turned the steering wheel without hesitation, turned around and followed, "That was the black Porsche just now, right? I saw 'Kami... Mr. Hinata."

ah.

He said he refused, but his actions were neat enough...

And is it reasonable that this guy actually knows Hinata?

Just now, Hinata only exposed a little bit. As a passenger in the back seat, it is normal for him to be able to see and recognize it. But how could the driver recognize it immediately at a glance?

Are you really driving seriously?

No one answered the phone yet. Kudo Shinichi closed his eyes and laughed twice, "Haha, thank you, police officer."

The police officer added, "Mr. Kudo said that if you make a request and call him at the same time, then you can do as you say first."

He stepped on the accelerator.

Still no one answered the call, and after a few seconds it automatically hung up.

Kudo Shinichi scratched the back of the seat in front of him and made another call. Still no one answered and the call was automatically hung up. He frowned and quickly edited the unexpected situation into a message and sent it.

He opened Hinata's reasonable contact information again, hesitated for a few seconds, and then gave up the contact.

The guy was in a special state at first glance, with a gun on his back. If we contact him now, the black figure might take action.

never mind.

Kudo Shinichi shook his cell phone repeatedly before he could keep his calm attitude. He calmly watched the police officers driving the car chase him for two streets and successfully tracked down the black Porsche. He was about to say to keep his distance.

, I felt my phone buzzing and vibrating, indicating that there was a new message.

He lowered his head subconsciously and saw a new message popping up on the screen.

【Don't follow.】

It was sent from Hinata reasonably.

Kudo Shinichi was startled and subconsciously raised his head to look at the black Porsche with only an afterimage.

The phone vibrated again.

[I will explain to you later, but stop tracking now.]

Mao Lilan came over and glanced at the screen, then raised her head and looked ahead, and finally looked at Kudo Shinichi. She asked in a low voice, "Do you still want to follow?"

In the driver's seat, the police officer also looked at Kudo Shinichi in the rearview mirror, "I'm not sure if that car noticed that we were following."

He used his gaze and blank words to silently ask: Do you want to continue following?

...Do you want to continue following?

The scene where the silver-haired man in black almost used a gun to force Hinata into the car flashed through Kudo Shinichi's mind. He stared at the conspicuous police uniform on the driver for a few seconds, and then moved on.

Open your eyes and look at the Porsche in front of your field of vision.

Finally, he looked down at the message on his phone, hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Stop."

Once you decide to speak out, the next words will be easier to say.

"There is a dessert shop ahead, let's stop there." Kudo Shinichi said calmly, "Consider it that we are discovered first, pretend that we are making a fuss about eating desserts, and then suddenly turn around."

Hinata is not the kind of person who can only wait for rescue.

Their car was too conspicuous. The driver was a man wearing a police uniform and his driving skills were within normal limits. If the man with silver hair and black clothes was alert enough, he would definitely spot them.

If he continues to follow her, it may disrupt Hinata's reasonable rhythm.

The police officers looked ahead a few times and listened to Kudo Shinichi's words.

The car slowly stopped in front of the dessert shop.

Before it came to a complete stop, Kudo Shinichi quickly opened the car door, glanced at the dessert shop, and then glanced at the black Porsche from the corner of his eye when he looked back at the police.

The black Porsche had already reached the scene on this street, but it did not turn at the intersection immediately and drive away, and the speed of the car actually slowed down.

It turned slowly and disappeared into the street.

Kudo Shinichi tightened his grip on the phone and exhaled briefly. He was extremely sure: the silver-haired man in black had really discovered their tracking just now.

Oops, Hinata might be in danger.
