Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 109 I’ll Eat You Up Next Time You See Me

Same night.

A remote port near Izu.

Yokogome Chanwu tightened the collar of his windbreaker, but the sea breeze blowing in his face still made him shiver.

The nights in this season are already very cool, and since we are at the seaside, the temperature around us is even lower.

However, what really made Detective Yokomizo feel cold was the crime scene in front of him.

Three detectives were shot dead here with a pistol.

The death is horrific.

All three were in plain clothes, their police manuals had fallen to the ground, and their service guns were fully loaded but had never been fired.

From these clues, it can be judged that they must have discovered the suspect, and when they showed the police manual to the other party, they were decisively counterattacked by the enemy.

"It seems like we've encountered a big case." Henggou Chanwu rubbed his temples and sighed in his heart.

I didn't expect something like this to happen right after being transferred here.

Are you trying to test his ability as a criminal police officer?

Henggou Chanwu turned his gaze to the three dead men again.

It is a combination of two middle-aged criminal policemen and a young man who has just started working.

He had met the young man several times.

I heard that a girlfriend from college was getting ready to get married and was researching where to buy a house, but she didn't expect to encounter something like this. How unlucky!

Yokoguro Chanwu sighed.

While feeling sad for the other person, I also lamented that I might one day die accidentally in action.

This may be the fate of a criminal policeman.

He took a deep breath, and the salty sea breeze mixed with a hint of blood entered his nostrils, bringing him out of his wild thoughts.

Yokomizo Sango rushed to the crime scene afterwards.

At first, there was a person jogging nearby at night. He heard what sounded like gunshots and called the police.

Then a nearby patrol car drove over and contacted the local detective after discovering the body.

The port has now been taken under control, with yellow cordons everywhere and more than a dozen police cars surrounding the containers. The flashing police lights illuminate the port at night like day.

But Yokoguro Chango knew very well that this was just the advance team.

With such a serious incident as the shooting of a police officer, there will definitely be higher-level officials and investigators who will take over the matter.

And he still doesn't know what mission the three dead police officers were performing.

If other cases are involved, it may become more complicated.

So if we can find useful clues before the main force arrives.

Whether it is to improve the favorability in front of the superiors or to locate the murderer as soon as possible, it is very important for Yokogawa Canwu.

So Yokomizo Sango kept urging his investigators, hoping to find useful clues as soon as possible.

Perhaps his frequent urging had worked.

An investigator in a blue uniform approached him holding a photo.

"What did you find?" Yokomizo asked impatiently.

The investigator handed Yokomizo a photo and said, "It could be some kind of code word, or information related to the murderer."

After taking the photo, Yokomizo observed it from several angles, then asked in confusion, "Is this... an anchor?"

...

"Hey, they seem to have discovered something." Aren held the telescope close to his face.

A Tian was sitting in the passenger seat flipping through a comic book. The movement of his big hands flipping through the comic book looked a little funny.

But if you move your eyes a little to the side.

Seeing the 54 pistol casually placed on the dashboard, watching A Tian flipping through the comic book suddenly didn't seem so funny anymore.

Instead, you will feel calm and relaxed.

Just now, A Tian used this gun to shoot and kill three criminal police officers without hesitation.

At this time, they were sitting in a car on the side of the road diagonally opposite the port where the incident occurred, observing the scene.

"I say, you didn't reveal any information just now, did you?" Ah Ren said without turning his head. He did not put down the binoculars in his hand because he did not want the group of policemen to leave his sight.

Ah Tian said nonchalantly, "Didn't we come out this time to deliberately expose information to those cops?"

"That's different. We can't let them know what we don't want to tell them." Ah Ren had no choice but to put down the binoculars and look at Ah Tian. "You were entangled with that young guy for a long time just now. Did you let him see anything?"

"Super domineering annihilation punch." said A Tian.

"what?"

"I tried out my latest research on him." Ah Tian shook the comic book in his hand. "I learned it from here."

Ren frowned.

But he knew that A Tian was just like that. He was like a child, killing people without mercy, and was surprisingly proficient in making bombs.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this easy-to-control character that the leader particularly favors him.

"I think you may have left some clues. I suggest detonating the device in advance." Aren said, looking at his face.

"No, the boss said we have to wait for more senior police officers to arrive." A Tian refused.

The bomb was planted by A Tian and the detonator was in his hands.

“But now the situation has changed and we need to change the plan on the spot,” said Aren.

Ah Ren had a bad feeling in his heart.

This place is different from the countries they have been to before where they can kill people with impunity. If they are targeted, it may affect their subsequent plans.

But A Tian still maintained his stubborn attitude, leaving A Ren helpless.

Ah Ren's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "Oh, right, I saw a small wine shop at the entrance to the mountain. They should be selling alcohol and snacks."

"So?" A Tian flipped through the comic book.

"So why don't we finish early, buy a couple of bottles of wine and have a drink back home? Why do we have to stay here and enjoy the sea breeze?" Aren persuaded.

A Tian put down the comic book and licked his lips, as if alcohol was more attractive to him.

"Then I'll do as you say." A Tian put the comic book and the pistol together, turned around and searched for the detonator in his canvas bag.

Ah Ren picked up the telescope again and observed. Then he suddenly cursed: "Damn it, why did that coral head walk to the edge of the dock? He looks like he wants to make a phone call!"

"so what."

"The bomb won't kill him this way. If he passes on the news about the photo, we'll be in trouble," said Ren. "I'm going back to tell the leader and have him reassess the risk of this mission."

"Oh, I'll order two bottles of whiskey later. One bottle is not enough." A Tian found a detonator modified from a walkie-talkie. As long as he pressed the button on the side, the bomb would explode.

"Are you listening to me? You can't detonate now." Aren said.

Ah Tian seemed unhappy that he couldn't go back for a drink earlier. He impatiently grabbed the binoculars, took a look and said, "What? This location can be bombed."

"Are you sure you can hit him from such a distance from the explosion point?"

"Don't worry, the material of this bomb is prepared to blow up 'that', so it is very powerful." A Tian patted his chest.

"Then let's detonate it quickly. He probably hasn't made the call yet." Aren urged.

Ah Tian threw the detonator over and said, "You operate it. You can report to the leader later. I just want to drink today."

Aren really wanted to beat him up.

But now was not the time to lose his temper, he had to stop the news from leaking out as soon as possible. He immediately pressed the button on the side of the intercom.

Immediately afterwards, the bomb hidden in the container at the dock exploded instantly, like a huge fireball crashing into the port.

About a second passed.

The sound of the explosion reached my ears.

The pebbles blown up by the air waves hit the car windows, making a crisp "ding ding ding" sound.

...

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The wine glasses clinked together with a crisp sound.

"cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses, but only Kogoro Mouri's glass was filled with beer.

Haruhiko and the others were not old enough to drink, so they could only have beverages, but the atmosphere was still lively.

After a small disturbance on the train in the afternoon.

Haruhiko and his friends arrived at the hotel much later than expected.

Because tourism is booming this season, if Yuanzi had not already paid in full, the room would have been transferred to another guest long ago.

This hotel called "Aoiya" is not very luxurious, but it has a great location and you can see the beach by opening the window.

The hotel is a three-story wooden structure with a mainly Japanese-style decoration. You can feel the antique atmosphere as soon as you enter the door.

The shop also offers various facilities for sale and rental, so even if you don't bring anything with you, you can still enjoy the experience. If you want to rent a boat to go out to sea, there are corresponding channels, just pay the money and you're done.

Overall it is very convenient.

Because Haruhiko and the others arrived late, they went straight to dinner time.

At this time, everyone changed into the yukata provided by the hotel and sat around the low table in the room.

The table was filled with rich food.

The window was half open, and the salty sea breeze kept pouring into the house. I could faintly hear laughter coming from the beach.

Putting down his glass, Haruhiko exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Haha~ Summer is the season to drink ice cold!"

"You're quite smart, little brat. It's a pity you can't drink, otherwise you could have a few drinks with me." Kogoro Mouri filled the empty glass.

"Dad, you should drink less too," Mao Lilan advised.

Uncle Maori: "I know, but such a big thing happened today, it's okay for me to calm down."

"That's right, Ran, it's okay to let uncle drink a little more," Suzuki Sonoko said, sitting cross-legged next to Haruhiko. "When the explosion happened in the car, uncle actually hid under the table."

"I just accidentally slipped." Kogoro Mouri said stubbornly, then gulped down beer to ease the embarrassment.

Conan was drinking water, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard the news.

As a result, Kogoro Mouri hit him on the head and gave him two bumps.

"I know, I know. I was actually pretty scared back then, too." Sonoko patted her chest to express her fear. "I never expected to encounter something like that. I hope I don't get involved in any more incidents in Izu this time."

"Speaking of this, Sister Sonoko, I just heard something." Conan said while rubbing his head.

"What's the matter?" Suzuki Sonoko held a crab leg in her hand and bit it for a long time but couldn't open it. She was so angry that she threw it directly to Haruhiko beside her.

"I heard that there's a murderer in Izu recently who specializes in attacking women with brown hair." Conan took a bite of fish and spit the fishbone on the table.

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Are there still people like this?"

Haruhiko also frowned at this time
He recalled that the case of Suzuki Sonoko being attacked seemed to unfold in this way. The murderer was dumped by his girlfriend and hated brown-haired women, so he launched an indiscriminate attack.

It seems that I really need to be careful these days, so that the garden won’t be destroyed by someone for no reason.

"Yes, I heard that there have been several victims, but the murderer has never been found." Mao Lilan also looked worried, because she chose a relatively traditional kneeling posture, with only a small section of her white toes exposed from the hem of her yukata.

In comparison, Suzuki Sonoko is much more casual.

She sat cross-legged on the tatami, her bare feet painted with aqua blue nail polish swaying in front of Haruhiko.

It made it impossible for him to concentrate on eating.

Suzuki Sonoko looked unconcerned: "It's okay, Xiaolan, you will protect me, right?"

"That's what I said, but you also have to be careful and be alert when you meet strangers." Mao Lilan advised earnestly.

"Why do you make me sound like a child? But don't worry, besides you, a karate master, I also have a bodyguard by my side." Sonoko said as she nudged Haruhiko with her knee.

Haruhiko, in his virtuous habit of not wasting food, was trying to peel the crab leg, which was covered in Suzuki Sonoko's saliva, piece by piece. Hearing the young lady mention him, he quickly stated, "Don't worry. If the murderer shows up, I will definitely catch him. I will never let Sonoko-san get hurt."

This is not empty talk.

Because Haruhiko can directly see the evil spirit on the murderer's shoulder, as long as the murderer dares to appear near the garden, he will be immediately locked by Haruhiko.

At that time, all you have to consider is whether to defeat the murderer with kendo or subdue him with street fighting.

When Yuanzi heard this, she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

She was like a cat being petted to the point of excitement by her owner, and her nail-polished toes curled up, showing her joy at the moment.

At this time, Maori Kogoro suddenly said, "Why hasn't the puffer fish sashimi we ordered arrived yet? We've been waiting for half a day. Xiaolan, go and urge them to come."

Aoiya's signature dish is puffer fish cuisine, which is said to be very famous throughout Izu.

They ordered fugu sashimi.

Actually, Haruhiko wanted to eat puffer fish hotpot, but Sonoko said to save that for when he left.

Xiaolan stood up and walked barefoot past Haruhiko towards the door.

Haruhiko's eyes unconsciously fell on her fair feet. He was very curious about how such soft and slender feet could kick the concrete pole to pieces?
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my arm.

Haruhiko turned around and looked.

He found Suzuki Sonoko holding his arm with her crab claws: "What are you looking at?"

Haruhiko pretended to search the ground: "There seems to be a bug on the ground."

"Oh? That bug must be a bitter one." Suzuki Sonoko sneered and turned the crab claws.

"Hiss~ It hurts."

"If you look at it again, I'll break your leg." Yuanzi gestured viciously with his crab claws.

Haruhiko was so frightened that he quickly covered the space between his legs.

Mao Lilan walked to the door, but before she could open the wooden door, the door opened by itself.

The inn's proprietress, Ms. Ryoko, was standing at the door.

Ryoko, wearing a kimono, was probably in her forties. There was no sign of the ravages of time on her face, and she had a good figure. When Kogoro Mouri first arrived, she tried to strike up a conversation with him, but was later stopped by Ran Mouri with force.

"Ms. Ryoko, has our puffer fish sashimi arrived?" Ran Mouri made way, and the proprietress in a conservative yukata appeared in everyone's sight.

"Sorry, there are too many customers today. The sashimi may have to wait a while." Ryoko bowed slightly. "I'm bothering you because a customer said he knew you and asked me to bring him over."

"Guests?" Mao Lilan turned around in confusion, "Sonoko, have you invited anyone else?"

Sonoko was gnawing on the crab claw that had just been used to hold Haruhiko. She thought it tasted much better than usual. "No, it's just us."

Everyone turned their eyes to the proprietress Ryoko.

The proprietress Ryoko made room at the door.

Then, a tall man in a hotel yukata appeared at the door.

Suzuki Sonoko put down her crab claws after seeing him and said in surprise, "Huh? Why are you here too?"
