Stay away from Conan

Chapter 972 Kudo Shinichi appears

"What?"

When Sato Miwako heard the situation reported on the other end of the phone, she blurted out the news in surprise, allowing Gao Yuan on the side to hear the situation and learn about the situation of "Mr. Asahi was killed". People were also very shocked and couldn't help but said:

"Mr. Asahi Hiroki was killed?"

Not an accidental death, but a definite murder...

Obviously, Asahi Hiroki should be under the protection of the police at this time. Moreover, the other Sawaki Koichi, the murderer in the original work, should be under police protection at this time...

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan only felt a little headache about the current development of the situation, especially he did not expect that although the surname of the person who escaped in the original work had changed, his identity was indeed the corresponding Mr. Hiroki. Now He was actually killed.

This result is really unexpected.

So, without even bothering to go to the restaurant where the Mori family had dinner before to do some research, Gao Yuan said to Sato Miwako:

"So Officer Sato, where was Mr. Hiroki Asahi killed? Let's go to the scene as soon as possible!"

"good!"

Miwako Sato, who also had the same intention, nodded seriously, replied affirmatively, and then drove towards the location of the incident——

That is, Mr. Asahi Hiroki's residence.

Taking advantage of the time along the way, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask seriously about the situation that had happened.

"Officer Sato, what are the specific circumstances of Mr. Asahi Hiroki's murder?"

"Takagi didn't have time to say specifically, but the general situation seems to be that after returning to his home from the hospital, Mr. Asahi was shot with a crossbow, and because the arrow was coated with hydrogen, Mr. Asahi was injured on the spot. die!"

With a serious look on her face, Miwako Sato talked about the general situation, her tone seemed very angry——

After all, no matter what, this time, the gangster's behavior suddenly changed from an injury incident without causing death to a murder incident, not to mention that Mr. Asahi Hiroki was killed under the protection of the police. This is obviously a naked provocation to the police.

In this regard, listening to Sato Miwako's story, Takato had some rough images in his mind. At the same time, the wound on his right shoulder that was shot by the crossbow arrow also began to hurt a little——

Compared with replacing eye drops, the murderer's killing method became extremely simple and direct this time. After injuring the victim with an arrow coated with poison, the victim would naturally die.

And this gangster obviously wants Mr. Asahi Hiroki's life no matter what, which only shows that the hatred between the gangster and Asahi Hiroki is extremely serious. This is obviously in line with Sawaki Fair's hatred for Mr. Hiroki in the original work.

Because Mr. Hiroki in the original work insulted Sawaki's dignity as a sommelier, in the end, when Sawaki's crime was exposed by Conan, Sawaki was so mad that he didn't care about his methods. Not only did he kill everyone at the time, The sea paradise they were in was blown up, and they planned to take Xiaolan hostage and threaten everyone to let her leave, preparing to finally complete the murder of Mr. Hiroki.

So according to the original work, if the murderer is really Sawaki Fairy, and they did have such past experiences in the original work, then it is not incomprehensible that Asahi Hiroki would be killed.

But right now, the difference between the situation in which Asahi Hiroki is directly killed and the original work is very obvious——

In the original work, in order to let Mouri Kogoro and others draw the suspicion of the gangster to Murakami, all his attacks were carried out in strict accordance with the countdown of the playing cards, so although it was Mr. Hiroki's turn At that time, the attack carried out by changing the eye drops failed in the end and killed Mr. Hiroki. Zekihei Zeki did not continue to launch a new attack on him, but continued to attack the next target in sequence.

But now, Mr. Asahi Hiroki should use his own suggestions to create the illusion that he has been affected by the potion. In other words, the gangster's attack was considered a success, but the gangster did not choose to stop. The attack on Asahi Hiroki was repeated directly, and he died at this moment.

In this way, it can be regarded as breaking the previous rules——

As long as the target represented by the playing cards is successfully attacked by the gangster, it will be the next person's turn, rather than a new attack on the target that has been attacked.

But now, unless the gangster knows that Asahi Hiroki did not drop eye drops at all this time, that is, the attack originally arranged by the gangster did not work, otherwise according to previous practice, the gangster has no reason to launch another attack.

In other words, I originally thought that the gangster would always abide by the previous attack pattern, but I was a little naive about this gangster?

After all, it is difficult to say that a gangster who changes his target according to the situation will be an obsessive-compulsive disorder who pursues perfection in everything...

Sure enough, even though I wanted to avoid it, my preconceived notions still affected my judgment to a greater or lesser extent...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan could only sigh helplessly, and then, under the leadership of Sato Miwako, the two came to the villa where Asahi Hiroki lived.

At this time, the area around the villa was already on police alert. At the same time, Officer Megure and Kogoro Mori, who were originally responsible for protecting the next target representing the number "eight", Sawaki Kogoro, also learned that News of Asahi Hiroki's murder, and chose to rush over——

At the entrance of the villa, I watched the body of Mr. Asahi Hiroki, who died of arrow poisoning, being carried away by the police. Looking at this time, I saw that the friend I knew was really killed. Because of this, Mouri Kogoro, who was angry about the previous incident, now showed a kind of unspoken anger on his face. He couldn't express it, but it gave people the feeling that Mouri could feel it more than the obvious emotion. Kogoro was angry this time.

Officer Megure watched the police officer carry Asahi Hiroki's body in front of him. After giving a slight signal to the police officer to stop, Officer Megure used his white-gloved hands to slightly lift the lid. The cloth on the corpse was used to check the location of the arrow on Asahi Hiroki's body.

All I saw was the scar on Asahi Hiroki's left shoulder, and the painful death look on Asahi Hiroki's face. Officer Megure sighed, closed his eyes, and mourned silently, and didn't look any further. , let the police take the body away first.

"Officer Megure, Mr. Mori..."

At this moment, looking at Police Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro who were standing at the door of the villa compound and about to enter the villa, Gao Yuan, who had just arrived at this moment, stepped forward to stop them, and then said habitually Asked:

"You are here too? How about the protection of Mr. Sawaki Fairy?"

"Shiratori is now responsible for the protection of Mr. Sawaki. Now that Mr. Hiroki has been killed, we have given up the decision to protect Mr. Sawaki in secret and have begun to provide round-the-clock personal protection for Mr. Sawaki!"

With a solemn expression, because Mr. Asahi Hiroki was already under the covert protection of the police or was killed by gangsters, Officer Megure emphatically explained that the police had already stepped up efforts to target targets who were about to be attacked by gangsters. We must strengthen our protection and be prepared to do our best to prevent the next deceased from appearing.

In this regard, listening to Officer Megure's statement, Gao Yuan basically confirmed that at least since Officer Megure and the others met Sawaki Eiraji, Sawaki Eirochi has never left the sight of the police. In other words, Sawaki Eiraji attacked him. The possibility of killing Asahi Hiroki no longer exists.

From this, for Gao Yuan, the identity of the murderer in this incident was completely back to the point where he knew nothing about it.

So, without asking any more questions, Officer Megure, Kogoro Moori, Takato, and Miwako Sato, who arrived with Takato, all hurried towards the scene of the crime——

At this time, in the specific location where Asahi Hiroki was killed, in the bedroom where he lived, Takagi Wataru led the police to investigate the scene.

"Takagi, what on earth is going on!"

As soon as he saw Wataru Takagi, who was responsible for secretly protecting Mr. Asahi Hiroki, Officer Megure immediately shouted to him, completely asking him about the situation of the incident, in a completely provocative manner.

"Officer Megure..."

In this regard, hearing the tone of Officer Megure, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but shudder. He knew to some extent that he was negligent in his duty this time. Takagi Wataru couldn't help but lower his head and responded like this.

"Takagi, what did you do? Did the gangsters rush into Mr. Hiroki's villa and kill him?"

Seeing that the scene in front of her was in Asahi Hiroki's bedroom, Sato Miwako couldn't help but asked in surprise. She felt that even if it was secretly and unable to protect her personally, there was no reason for the murderer to come directly to the villa where the victim lived. In the bedroom?

"this……"

Listening to what Miwako Sato said, Takagi Wataru looked even more depressed and couldn't help but reply:

"The murderer... did not commit the murder in the bedroom, but outside the villa..."

As he spoke, Takagi Wataru pointed to the floor-to-ceiling window of this bedroom. He saw an obviously broken hole on the floor-to-ceiling window, and a pile of broken glass was scattered on the indoor floor that corresponded to the hole. fragments.

In this regard, Takagi Wataru continued to explain.

"Officer, look... the murderer was probably outside. He used rocks to smash the glass of Mr. Hiroki's bedroom. After attracting Mr. Hiroki to come to the window to check the situation, the criminal was outside again, using a crossbow or something like that. Something aimed at Mr. Hiroki and shot the arrow, and because the arrow this time was coated with hydrogen, as long as the murderer shot Mr. Hiroki, he could kill Mr. Hiroki with one blow..."

Saying this, Takagi Shita's expression became even more helpless——

"And by the time our people heard the noise in the bedroom and rushed in to check, it was already too late... After all, Mr. Hiroki didn't let our people enter the bedroom to protect him personally, and we couldn't do it in time. Stop Mr. Hiroki..."

"That's right..."

In this regard, after listening to what Takagi Wataru said, looking at the traces at the scene, and the position where Asahi Hiroki fell to the ground, Officer Megure made a rough judgment and analysis, and felt that what Takagi Wataru said made sense.

"But why did Mr. Hiroki go to the window to check after hearing that the glass was broken?"

Faced with this situation, Miwako Sato asked with some confusion:

"Obviously in the morning, the gangster had already lured Mr. Hiroki away by breaking the glass of Mr. Hiroki's house, and this time the other party directly smashed the glass of his bedroom... Didn't he have any vigilance about this? Heart?"

"Perhaps, he thought that the other person was still indoors and the police were nearby to protect him, so he thought it was no big deal just to take a look, but he didn't expect..."

Because I have known Asahi Hiroki for a while, I have some understanding of his arrogance. Mouri Kogoro guessed this with a somewhat dignified expression.

In this regard, after listening to what Mouri Kogoro said, Officer Megure recalled the Asahi Hiroki he met not long ago. After his attitude when facing the police, he felt that what Moori Kogoro said made sense, so he nodded. , responded

"That makes sense..."

"but……"

At this time, while several people were talking like this, Gao Yuan found a way to bypass the broken glass on the ground, stood in front of the window and looked outdoors. Looking outside the bedroom window was the villa surrounded by the outer wall. The backyard, and outside the wall was the street with street lights. After a rough visual inspection of the distance, Gao Yuan asked curiously

"Officer Takagi, you said that after you heard the noise, you hurriedly opened the door and came in to check. Did you notice where the gangster outside the window fired the shot?"

"Yes."

In response to Gao Yuan's inquiry, Gao Mushe responded:

"After we came in and found Mr. Hiroki lying by the window, we immediately looked out the window. At that time, on the street outside, the gangster was wearing a motorcycle suit and a helmet, riding a motorcycle. A motorcycle was about to leave. Although we chased it immediately, we failed to catch up in the end..."

Saying this, Takagi Wataru looked a little depressed.

"On the street..."

In this regard, after listening to Gao Mushe's explanation, Gao Yuan looked at the distance between the street outside the house and the bedroom on the second floor. Gao Yuan frowned slightly——

"This distance..."

For this reason, just when he was about to say something, Officer Megure's cell phone rang.

Therefore, Gao Yuan had no choice but to shut up for the time being, planning to wait until Officer Memu answered the phone before speaking——

"Hello? What's going on? Someone outside wants to come into the scene? Do you need to report this kind of thing to me? This is the crime scene. Before the incident is investigated, anyone..."

"Hey, Officer Megure, it's me!"

However, before Officer Megure finished his reprimanding words, a familiar voice came from the other side of the phone——

"It's me, Kudo Shinichi!"

With a very confident tone, Kudo Shinichi's voice came over the phone of the police officer on duty in front of the villa——

And now, that is to say, Kudo Shinichi himself is right in front of the gate of Mr. Asahi Hiroki's villa!

"Ah! Brother Kudo!"

Suddenly, after hearing Kudo Shinichi's voice, Officer Megure said in surprise, and his eyes lit up...
