Chapter 669 Each with their own thoughts.........
Chapter 669 Each with their own thoughts.........
"That's right, that's right,"
Upon hearing what his "own" teacher, Mori, had said, Kaito Kuroba quickly chimed in agreement.
"The teacher is right. Now is not the time to deal with that Phantom Thief Kid."
"Our immediate priority is to check if there's anything wrong with the suspension bridge. If there isn't, we should go down the mountain first and then notify the police..."
Douzi was overjoyed.
Kogoro Mouri's words were exactly what he wanted to hear.
If these guys keep arguing about whether or not Kaito Kid is real, and things go wrong, they might actually uncover our secrets, and that would be troublesome...
Although he still has a way to escape, if these detectives were to accuse him of attempted murder by Phantom Thief Kid, given their influence, he would have no way to defend himself...
"That makes some sense..."
Harufumi Mogi nodded in agreement.
Senma Kōdai felt a surge of relief.
Fortunately, Kogoro Mouri and his apprentice were there and thought of checking the suspension bridge.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I would really have to bring it up myself...
However, doing so would likely increase the suspicion against me even more.
Even if he fakes his death to escape, people probably won't believe it then........................
Now that someone has brought it up, I figured if I just brought it up myself, it shouldn't aggravate the suspicion, right?
Thinking this, Chima Kazuyo spoke up, smiling at the group.
"In that case, let's go out and take a look."
"If the explosion wasn't too widespread and a few vehicles survived, we might even save time walking..."
"Yes, Sister Senma is right..."
Kogoro Mouri nodded as well.
With a few people agreeing, the rest of the group had no objections and went out together to check on the cars outside.
Upon closer inspection, they received both good news and bad news.
The bad news is that all the cars in front were blown up; not a single one remained.
The good news is...................
There's another car behind...
After seeing that there was still one car intact, another suggestion was made, and everyone decided to decide who would go out to check by flipping a coin.
Finally, Harufumi Mogi, Kogoro Mouri, and Kazuyo Chima were the lucky winners...
After the three left, Lin Jiayou and the others returned to the Twilight Villa.
"I suggest that it would be better for everyone to gather together,"
At this moment, Hakuba Saguru looked at everyone and spoke.
"The murderer may still be hiding in the villa, or even among us."
"really,"
Ikumi Gunda sat on the sofa, propping her head up with one hand, and nodded with a smile.
"As long as we are all together, no matter how powerful that murderer is, he can't do anything to us."
What do you all say?
Seeing that someone was echoing him, Bai Ma Tan turned his gaze to Lin Jiayou and the others beside him.
Because her father wasn't around and she had little experience, Xiaolan timidly expressed her agreement.
"I...I have no objection..."
"I can do it too!"
Conan also chimed in with a smile.
On the one hand, he agreed with Hakuba Saguru's statement; on the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Lin Jiayou.
After all, in his and Hattori Heiji's deductions, this Mr. Hayashi would also be a major asset in their fight against Amuro Tooru...
Kaito Kuroba, Chia-Yu Lin, and Tequila naturally had no objections.
The group then gathered and sat down in the entertainment room where they had previously played mahjong.
Although everyone is together, there are clearly differences in closeness and distance among them.
Ran, Conan, and Kaito Kuroba, who is dressed as Tooru Amuro, huddled together.
Ran kept asking Amuro Tooru questions with a worried expression...
As the son of the Superintendent General of Police, Hakuba Saguru was naturally closer to the former prosecutor, Ikumi Gunda.
The two were discussing something in hushed tones, nodding in unison as they mentioned certain things, their gazes towards each other gradually becoming more friendly.
Lin Jiayou and Tequila were naturally whispering to each other about something...
Well, with Tequila's loud voice, it's really hard for her to speak softly.
Only Da Shang Zhu Shan, the food detective, couldn't find anyone to gather with, so he just wandered around aimlessly, striking up conversations with everyone he met.......................
However, seeing that everyone wasn't very enthusiastic towards him, Da Shang Zhu Shan gave up trying to win them over...
He started thinking to himself...
The current situation is quite good for me.
First of all, Senma Kyoudai's first murder plot was exposed by that Hayashi Chia-yu, at least she escaped a disaster.
However, this old woman definitely still has the intention to kill me, so we absolutely cannot let our guard down.
and...................
Da Shang Zhu Shan subtly touched his pocket, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Does this old woman think she's following an idiot?
They even left a note in my room, inviting me to go to the wine cellar to get some wine....................
How ridiculous........................
but...................
Da Shang Zhu Shan couldn't help but frown again.
Such an obvious problem. Even though that old woman, Chima Kazuyo, had bad intentions, she was still a detective. Would she be that stupid?
Could it be that her real purpose was to get me to avoid going to the wine cellar?
Damn, this is a bit of a problem.....................
the other side
Although Conan and Kaito Kuroba were taking turns comforting Ran, their minds were no longer on her....................
Douzi kept looking around, but his attention was mainly focused on Lin Jiayou.
Damn it, it seems like nothing good ever comes of running into this guy surnamed Lin.
Could it be that this guy deliberately used my name to trick me into coming here...?
hiss--
That's a little scary. Is he planning to ask me for something again...?
No, no, I need to find a way to escape right now...
While Kaito Kuroba wanted to slip away, Conan, standing nearby, had a completely different plan...
He would glance at Lin Jiayou every now and then, pondering how to subtly approach Mr. Lin and Uncle Long and strike up a conversation.
Well, striking up a conversation with Uncle Long is quite easy, but wouldn't using that to get close to Mr. Lin seem a bit abrupt...?
As for Mr. Lin and Uncle Long, they truly come from different organizations than Amuro Tooru and are enemies of each other...
hehe.................
Conan sneered inwardly.
You can tell just by looking at Amuro Tooru's expression.
This guy has looked at Mr. Lin twice in one minute; there's definitely something wrong with him.
Before this, he had not met Mr. Lin many times. Why would he care so much if they didn't get along?
................
Conan and Kaito Kuroba have a lot on their minds.
Lin Jiayou and Tequila also had a lot on their minds...
Oh no, that's wrong. It's Lin Jiayou who's thinking a lot.
Tequila is still holding a cigar, his mind blank, puffing away...
“Cherry,”
He took a puff of tequila, then leaned close to Lin Jiayou's ear and whispered, "..."
"You said, Bo..."
"Shh-"
Lin Jiayou gave him a look, signaling him not to mention Amuro Tooru's codename.
Tequila nodded repeatedly, continuing to lower her voice.
"You mean that guy, he's really planning to...."
"Eight or nine out of ten."
Lin Jiayou closed his eyes and said softly.
Although we don't know exactly what Amuro Tooru wants to do to them, it's inevitable that he'll make a move here...
Now, Senma Kazuyo's plan to murder Oogami Shuzen has been thwarted by herself.
If Amuro Tooru had contacted Senma Kazuyo beforehand, it might have disrupted part of his plans.
but..................
After all, he hasn't really accomplished anything yet, so I still need to maintain a good working relationship with him.
Otherwise, once it's revealed that he and Tequila knew about his plans and secrets, then Amuro Tooru, this hidden agent, would be useless, and it would be better to eliminate him quickly...
"Should we...?"
As if understanding Lin Jiayou's thoughts, Tequila spoke with murderous intent.
Lin Jiayou gave him a speechless look.
What's wrong with this guy's brain? If he wanted to kill someone, he would have done it already. Why wait until now?
However, we really need to keep a close eye on Bourbon.
Today they dare to gather a bunch of people to ambush Tequila, tomorrow they might dare to go directly to the arcade to arrest Chianti, so we must keep a close eye on them.
Don't spend your days hunting geese, or you'll get pecked in the eye by one....................
...............
While Lin Jiayou was thinking about something, Hakuba Saguru and Gunda Ikumi were also busy.
As both were government officials or had connections to the police force, they already knew each other before this.
Even now, after leaving the law enforcement team and becoming a famous detective earning ten times more than before, Ikumi Gunda still addresses Saguru Hakuba with the respectful title of "Young Master"...
"Young Master, what do you think?"
Ikumi Gunda used a classic question to Saguru Hakuba right from the start.
Hakuba Saguru rubbed his temples; his mixed-race features looked somewhat unsettled.
"It's a bit messy."
"Although I feel like I've learned a lot, there are still some things I don't understand..."
"Oh?"
Ikumi Gunda was somewhat surprised by this.
"What don't you understand?"
"Um,"
White Horse Scout nodded slightly.
"It's not that I don't understand, but something still feels off..."
Having said that, he shook his head and looked at Ikumi Gunda.
"Forget about those for now."
"Ms. Gunda, the problem must lie with that person..."
"hehe,"
Ikumi Gunda smiled slightly.
"Young Master Bai Ma really thought of that too."
"Indeed, that person does have some issues."
"Many of her statements were too deliberate."
"Then we'll remain aligned here,"
Hakuba Saguru smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ikumi Gunda was someone he felt he could most likely trust.
If even she disagrees with me, then things will become even more complicated...
Ikumi Gunda continued speaking.
"So, young master, what do you think is wrong?"
"......"
Hakuba Saguru remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"It's mainly those two people..."
