Corpse collector in Conan
Chapter 1720 1720 [Death flag]
Jiang Xia made an excuse at random: "The boss is checking in the direction Mr. Wuju said, and he doesn't need help from others, so I want to come over and see where Mr. Wuju may have drifted along the river. Maybe she is lucky and was picked up by a kind-hearted person passing by. I rescued him and brought him home. I have to work harder to find my classmates."
Conan nodded with deep sympathy, and halfway through, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer a high school student. So he made up for it very smoothly: "Brother Jiang Xia's friends are my friends! Just like Sister Xiaolan and Sister Yuanzi, I will try my best to find them."
Secretary Huajing sighed. She walked to the river and looked at the wide river, with tears filling her eyelashes: "But it has been almost a day and Naoko has not been found yet. Who can survive in the water for such a long time? She may have already …”
She shook her head and did not finish her words, but everyone could hear the meaning behind her words - Naoko Takei might be dead, and it would be better to go find the robbers than to find her.
Soon, Secretary Hanai seemed to be in no mood to continue chatting, so she said goodbye and left.
Kinoshita Yoko looked at her back, waited for her to walk away, and sighed softly: "Not only does Miss Naoko treat Secretary Hanai as a sister, Secretary Hanai should also treat Miss Naoko as a relative. The sudden separation of life and death is really embarrassing. ."
She suddenly thought that if Jiang Xia fell into the river, her life or death would be unknown...
Kinoshita Yoko: "..." Although she couldn't watch Jiang Xia grow up like Secretary Hanai did to Takei Naoko, Jiang Xia's detective career grew up little by little before her eyes.
Just thinking about Jiang Xia's sudden death, leaving behind an empty office and an unreliable detective boss, Kinoshita Yoko couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her heart, feeling sad.
But when she turned around, she saw that the unlucky client she fantasized about was not affected by Secretary Hanai's emotions at all.
Jiang Xia was standing next to the protective net, looking across the river, and the child at his feet was doing the same.
Seeing that Kinoshita Yoko had recovered from her sadness, Jiang Xia pointed to the boat on the other side of the river: "Let's go find the people over there and ask about the situation."
…
Opposite there were many middle-aged men who had nothing to do and came fishing nearby in small boats. According to experience, this group of fishing enthusiasts tend not to fish for just one day and then leave, but will stay near the water for a long time.
So when the kidnappers crashed into the river, someone in the group might have been there and noticed something that the police didn't.
Jiang Xia went over and asked, and sure enough, someone talked about something worth noting.
"Suspicious people coming out of the water? That's not true. But what impressed me deeply..." The uncle snorted, a little angry, "Actually, I usually don't fish here, but upstream. Yesterday, I heard a loud noise coming from here, so I came here to take a look. Unexpectedly, there was a guy driving a speedboat on the river. He slithered past and almost knocked the bow of my boat off. He was really unqualified!"
Conan was startled, feeling that the ship was very suspicious, and asked: "Where is that speedboat parked? Do you know who its owner is?"
"I don't know. It must belong to some rich family, so I dare to run rampant in the river." The uncle scratched his head, "If you want to find it, you can follow here and go to the pier above to have a look. There is no need for speedboats. Most of the time it was parked there. I remember that the speedboat that almost hit me had a piece of paint peel off from its tail, it should be easy to find."
…
The three people then went to the dock again, looking for clues provided by enthusiastic passers-by, and found the boat very quickly.
Yoko Kinoshita was holding the camera, a little confused, and whispered to Jiang Xia: "This seems to be a personal item. Isn't it good for us to go up directly? How about asking my assistant to contact the owner of the ship."
Jiang Xia thought it was too troublesome, shook her head at her, and then poked Conan.
Conan: "..."
Soon, the primary school students ran down the ladder and boarded the boat.
Jiang Xia followed: "The child is disobedient, I will bring him back."
Then the two people climbed onto the speedboat one after another.
Kinoshita Yoko was stunned: "..." So that's what that child used?
She seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
So soon, Kinoshita Yoko followed their example and chased after them - two minors running around without authorization was indeed too dangerous, and they had to be supervised by her adult sister.
…
Not long after, all three people arrived on the speedboat.
Fortunately, no boat owner came out to yell and they were able to inspect it leisurely.
When he lowered his head, he saw a set of diving equipment thrown under the stool.
Jiang Xia picked up the diving suit casually and found that there was still a trace of wet stains on the stacked part, as if it had been used not long ago.
He glanced at Kinoshita Yoko's camera: "The Megure Police Department should be able to rest assured. The kidnapper fell into the water not because he was chased by the police and had no way to escape, but because he had a plan. He changed into a diving suit in advance and smashed open the car after it hit the water. window, and dived into the water. While everyone else's attention was on the vehicle that fell into the water, the kidnapper took advantage of the blind spots around him, got into the speedboat that had been hidden under the bridge, and then mixed in with the boats watching the excitement and drove away quickly. "
Kinoshita Yoko was stunned for a moment: "Even the boat and diving suit are ready, but he is so sure that Mr. Takei called the police?"
Conan thought of something, his expression changed, and he suddenly began to look around for things.
Jiang Xia: "I just saw it. There's no way to hide a body here. And it's very difficult to take people diving. When the kidnappers escaped from the car, they probably didn't take the hostages with them."
Conan rubbed his chin and thought: "Where did the hostage go? I remember Mr. Takei said that he saw his daughter in the kidnapper's car."
Jiang Xia stood up and quickly followed the clues: "First go to the administrator and ask about the owner of the speedboat."
…
The administrator didn't provide much information. The speedboats here can be rented if you have money, and the name left by the kidnappers is obviously a fake name. The address and phone number are all fabricated.
After walking out of the administrator's cabin, the three of them were about to go back to the yacht to take a look when Jiang Xia suddenly received a call.
"Entrustment cancelled." Katsuhiko Takei's voice came from the mobile phone, "You have no more detective work. You can send the account to my secretary later, and I will ask her to call you the commission fee."
Jiang Xia: "Aren't you looking for the kidnappers and Miss Wuju?"
Katsuhiko Takei snorted coldly, his attitude was completely different from yesterday: "My daughter is already dead, why are you looking for a kidnapper? You are not allowed to interfere in this matter again, otherwise I will sue you for invasion of privacy."
After saying that, he hung up the phone hard.
Jiang Xia looked at his phone, and the other two people looked at him.
Takei Katsuhiko's voice was very loud. Kinoshita Yoko heard what happened just now and found it difficult to understand: "What on earth is he thinking."
Jiang Xia translated what Katsuhiko Takei said: "The kidnapper probably contacted him again, so he canceled the commission and wanted to go alone to negotiate."
