Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

"Well, I'll wait for you. You should also be careful, for your sake and mine."

"it is good."

The two people who broke the window paper no longer concealed their love for each other.

324. Abnormal Yuantai

It was sunny on March 2.

Teitan Elementary School, second grade, Class B.

lunch time.

Yuan Tai stood up from his seat with a heavy heart, scratched his head, and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go to the health room."

"Eh?"

Everyone in the classroom, including Watanabe Toru and Haibara, raised their heads and looked at Genta in disbelief.

If this were said by anyone else, no one would care. But Yuantai, a man who values ​​food above all else, was just a little unwell, so how could he give up his lunch?

"Is Genta on a diet?" Ayumi asked curiously, looking at the almost untouched lunch.

"How could a big eater like him possibly go on a diet?" Guangyan pinched his chin. "Also, Yuantai hasn't seemed to want to play with us these past two days. Even after school, he always leaves by himself."

"Could it be that he was bullied by his senior classmates?" Ayumi looked worried.

"If that's the case, then it would be safer to come with us." Huiyuan inserted the straw into the milk hole and said calmly, "In my opinion, there must be a problem at home. For example, someone in his family suddenly became seriously ill, or he quarrels with his family every day. If that's the case, it's not something we outsiders can interfere with."

"How could this be?" Hearing what Huiyuan said, Ayumi became even more worried. She looked at Watanabe Toru and asked, "Toru, do you think so too?"

Watanabe Toru remained noncommittal: "Just ask Genta what's going on and you'll know."

"But Genta won't tell us. Besides, he disappears as soon as school is over."

"It doesn't matter. We can just wait for him in advance." Watanabe Toru said leisurely, "When the time comes, we can ask him. Maybe he will tell us the truth."

"Ok."

...

After school.

As expected, Yuantai once again left the classroom without waiting for the other members of the Junior Detective Team. He ran to the wall and nimbly climbed over it to get out.

He looked around warily and was about to leave when a familiar voice came from behind a trash can not far away: "Wait a minute, Yuantai."

Genta was surprised and looked at Watanabe Toru and others who came out from behind the trash can with sweat on his forehead.

"Genta, are you practicing ninjutsu?" Ayumi, who witnessed everything, asked curiously, "That's why you're dieting and skipping lunch."

Yuan Tai was confused for a moment, then immediately responded: "Yes, that's right, I watched a great ninja movie a few days ago."

"Stop talking nonsense." Watanabe Toru interrupted his lies: "Tell me, what happened?"

"I do not have."

Genta wanted to hide it, but Watanabe Toru glared at him, and he immediately felt guilty and whispered, "It's just a little trouble."

"Did my parents have a fight?" asked Toru Watanabe.

Yuantai shook his head.

"Is anyone in the family sick and hospitalized?"

Yuantai still shook his head.

Watanabe Toru frowned, losing his patience: "We are all members of the Junior Detective Team. We have always been open and honest with each other. When there are difficulties, we will help each other. But Genta, you don't seem to trust us at all. Or do you want to quit the Junior Detective Team?"

Frightened by Watanabe Toru, Genta panicked instantly and said quickly: "I...I'm not going to quit the Junior Detective League."

"Does that mean you don't trust us?"

"No... no." After a period of inner struggle, Yuan Tai finally told the truth: "There is a killer who wants to kill me recently."

quiet--

Then, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi burst out laughing: "Stop joking, Genta."

"We are just elementary school students. How could there be a killer who would kill us?"

Seeing that the guys didn't believe him, Yuan Tai sighed in frustration: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told you."

Watanabe Toru pondered for a moment and asked, "Genta, why do you think there is a killer who wants to kill you?"

Yuan Tai explained, "That day, when I was walking in the tunnel under the railway, I heard strange footsteps. Although it was dark in the tunnel and I couldn't see clearly, as soon as I stopped, the footsteps stopped. When I started running, the footsteps followed me."

"I think this must be the sound of your footsteps bouncing off the wall." Mitsuhiko analyzed.

"It's not that simple," Yuan Tai said loudly. "I was almost knocked off an overpass recently, and I was almost hit by a motorcyclist who ran a red light yesterday."

"It must be a coincidence." Ayumi still didn't believe that there would be a killer who wanted to kill Genta, and comforted him: "Don't be too nervous."

"This is not a coincidence." Yuan Tai said with a grim expression: "If it was a coincidence, he wouldn't..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a ding sound and a screw fell from high above.

Mitsuhiko was shocked: "What a big screw! This is too dangerous."

Watanabe Toru frowned slightly and looked up subconsciously. A big sign with the letter R fell from the sky on the department store next to the street.

... .... 0

"Be careful."

Toru Watanabe held Ayumi with one hand and Haibara with the other and retreated.

boom--

The sign fell heavily to the ground, raising dust.

Yuantai was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, his face pale and unable to speak.

"How could the department store sign suddenly fall down?" Ayumi looked up, still feeling scared.

Mitsuhiko swallowed and said, "I think... the screws must be old, so they loosened and fell off. Genta, you really have bad luck."

He believes it was an accident.

"This isn't just bad luck for Genta." Watanabe Toru crouched down to inspect the sign. "Look, the wiring on the sign has been cut with a knife. The purpose of this is to prevent the sign from being caught by the wires when the screws are loosened and the sign is pushed down."

"But if that's the case, wouldn't anyone passing by here be in trouble?" Mitsuhiko questioned.

"No, the bad guys have a clear target." Huiyuan walked to the gashapon machine next to him: "Genta always stands in front of this Kamen Rider gashapon machine every day when he comes home and watches."

The two people's analysis finally made Ayumi afraid: "So, someone really wants to kill Genta."

Watanabe Toru nodded, noticing that the commotion had already attracted quite a few passersby to come and watch, so he said, "Let's talk somewhere else. There are too many people here, and the bad guys might be hiding among them."

325. Yuantai: I am even more panicked

Inside a Western fast food restaurant.

Each person at the table had a cup of Coke, plus a hamburger and French fries that Yuantai ordered to fill his stomach.

Ayumi sipped her Coke and whispered, "Genta, you said you saw a serial robber committing a crime?"

"Yeah, he looks exactly like the wanted poster posted by the police." Yuantai stuffed the hamburger into his mouth and said vaguely.

"Did you call the police then?"

"Well, I called the police a week later. When I saw him, they hadn't posted the wanted poster yet. Later, when I saw the poster, I remembered I'd seen the robber before. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I saw him, but I did find the older brother who saw the robber with me."

Mitsuhiko asked, "Did you see it together?"

"Yeah." Yuantai nodded. "Five days ago, I heard someone was robbed near my house again, so I ran to see what was happening. To my surprise, that older brother was also among the onlookers. When I saw the robber, the blond older brother was right next to me."

"Then what? How did you deal with it?" Huibara took a sip of Coke.

"Of course I took that older brother to find the police officer who was handling the case at the time," Yuan Tai said, his expression becoming distressed. "But that older brother said he had never seen me, nor had he seen the robber."

"Are you really the robber you saw with that big brother?" Ayumi asked.

Yuantai nodded confidently: "When he saw the robber, the older brother seemed to be sitting next to me, so I thought he must have seen it."

"Should?" Huiyuan looked up at him: "Are you not sure?"

Yuantai scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I seemed to be very sleepy at that time. When I noticed it, the big brother was sitting next to me."

"What about the robber?" Huibara asked.

Yuan Tai tried hard to recall: "He seemed to be there, but also seemed not to be there."

Huiyuan: "..."

Mitsuhiko pinched his chin and analyzed, "Since you're sitting down and feeling sleepy, you might be watching a movie."

"It could also be that he was sitting on the train." Ayumi guessed.

Yuantai was noncommittal.

Huiyuan said: "Then why didn't you tell the police that the killer wanted to kill you?"

Fear crossed Yuan Tai's chubby face. "Because he called me and said that if I leaked the secret, he would not only kill me, but also all my family and friends."

Ayumi suddenly realized: "That's why you didn't tell us anything these days."

Yuanta nodded.

"This is a headache." Huibara sighed softly: "Since he already knows your home phone number, he must also know the address. If we just run to the police, they will definitely mistakenly think that Genta has thought of some details. Who knows what unexpected behavior he will do. Maybe he is in this store right now, watching our actions."

When Genta heard what Haibara said, his face became even uglier.

Huiyuan looked at Watanabe Toru: "Don't you have anything to say?"

It is impossible to solve this problem by relying on three children, and I don’t have any good ideas, so I can only put my hope on Watanabe Toru.

Watanabe Toru had already remembered this case, and even saw that the villain who threatened Genta was sitting in a seat not far from them, looking at him from time to time.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Yuantai, besides what you just said, do you remember any clues that could lead to the robber?"

As his own life was at stake, Yuan Tai did not dare to be careless and thought hard: "Actually, I also told the police that he smoked with his left hand."

"So, that person is left-handed?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"Hmm..." Yuantai nodded and continued to recall: "Also, he was wearing a black T-shirt with a white skull on it...ah..."

Yuan Tai seemed to have discovered something. He pointed at the waiter who had just walked past from the aisle and said loudly, "That's the one. His T-shirt is exactly the same as his."

The three of them immediately ran over and stopped the waiter.

Mitsuhiko stared at the waiter and asked, "You are the one who wanted to kill Genta, right?"

The waiter looked confused.

Yuan Tai saw the waiter's appearance and exclaimed, "He doesn't look like this. Besides, the number printed on the T-shirt that guy is wearing isn't 1999, it should be 202."

Realizing they had the wrong person, the three of them quickly apologized and, after asking the waiter where he bought the T-shirt he was wearing, prepared to go back to the store to see if there were any clues...

"Well, don't you have anything to say?"

On the way to the T-shirt shop, Huibara asked Watanabe Toru curiously.

Watanabe Toru looked unconcerned: "What's there to say? That villain is right behind us."

Huibara was startled and turned back subconsciously.

"It's the blond man in the denim jacket." Watanabe Toru said calmly, "He's been following us since we left school."

"What should we do now?" Huiyuan asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, the bait is here, the prey will bite on its own."

"Bait?" Huiyuan was stunned and looked at Genta who was walking in front of her: "You mean Genta?"

Watanabe Toru nodded.

Several people came to a T-shirt store.

But the clerk said that they had never sold such a T-shirt.

"Most of the words on our T-shirts are desperate words like '1999,' 'HELP,' and 'ESCAPE,'" the clerk said with an awkward laugh. "Didn't someone predict that 1999 would be the end of the world? That's where our inspiration comes from."
