Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 586 The Killing in the Rainy Night

20 years ago, Hokkaido, Muroran City, Muroran Port——

It was night, and it was raining and windy.

Due to the typhoon attack at sea, it was originally scheduled to depart from Muroran Port tonight for an American passenger ship, so the departure time had to be postponed.

Therefore, Junya Nakagawa, who had rushed here and was waiting at the port, was about to take this cruise ship to go abroad. Faced with the current situation, he had no choice but to find a temporary place to stay nearby. This typhoon will pass quickly.

However, with the arrival of the typhoon, it has begun to affect the normal traffic operations in Muroran City——

Public transportation is almost out of service, and in this violent wind and rain, there are no vehicles on the road.

Moreover, what is even more terrible is that there are not a few people who have suffered like Nakagawa Junya and are still stranded in the port——

Due to the obvious deviation of the weather forecast for the typhoon warning, and the cruise ship did not notify in advance of the postponement of the sailing, like Junya Nakagawa, the passengers who arrived at the port on time, like Junya Nakagawa, are now trapped Here it is.

As for this, the passengers stranded here can only gather at hotels near the port, but after all, the rooms are limited and cannot accommodate all the people.

However, fortunately, the nearby hotels absorbed most of the passengers who were stranded in the port. In the end, there were only a dozen or so passengers left who had nowhere to stay.

Faced with such a situation, after the port side came forward to discuss with everyone, everyone chose to stay in the waiting hall of the port, hoping to wait until the typhoon passed as soon as possible.

Moreover, although the facilities in the waiting hall are not as good as those in the hotel, it is a good choice to have a shelter from the wind and rain, water and electricity, and a lot of emergency food.

In this regard, the passengers stranded here, under the arrangement of a staff member of the port, received some water and food in the waiting hall, and each took a rest in different positions in the waiting hall——

Naturally, Jun Zhongchuan was also among the passengers stranded in the waiting hall, and could only silently wait for the wind and rain outside the house to end as soon as possible.

However, as the night got darker, I heard the strong wind outside, and I didn't know if the typhoon would pass by tomorrow——

In this regard, everyone present looked a little downcast.

Facing the current situation, Jun Nakagawa was a little depressed, took the radio that he carried with him, connected the earphones, and tried to listen to the latest broadcast about the typhoon.

However, I don't know if it was because the radio was damaged by water when running through the rain, or because the signal was extremely unstable due to the typhoon. No matter how Jun Nakagawa tuned the frequency, only a "sizzling" noise came from the earphones. , nothing is heard.

—— "Did you say when the typhoon will pass?"

At this moment, Jun Zhongchuan was also a little unwilling, and was still trying to tune the frequency, thinking that it would be good to hear some radio, a man in his forties, holding a briefcase, with a look on his face Curiously, he leaned over and asked.

"No."

Junya Nakagawa, who was not in a good mood when he came to strike up a conversation at this time, was a little impatient, so he simply replied and didn't want to pay attention to the other party.

Facing Junya Nakagawa's attitude, the man didn't have any disgust on his face, but he continued to come up, and said aloud:

"Hey... You said, this weather forecast is too outrageous. It doesn't matter if it doesn't rain or when it will rain, the time accuracy of the forecast is almost the same. Why is the typhoon forecast so bad this time! I thought This typhoon really won't make landfall until tomorrow..."

As if complaining, the man explained the reason why everyone is facing such a predicament.

As for this, Nakagawa Junya, who was really surprised that there was such a big difference in the typhoon forecast this time, finally sighed, took off the radio earphones, and sighed lightly:
"Yeah... The time was well arranged, but it's a little troublesome to be delayed..."

"Oh?"

However, after Nakagawa Jun also said this, the man couldn't help being a little surprised, showing a curious expression, and couldn't help asking:

"I remember that this trip will take a month at sea... Although this typhoon will affect the time, relatively speaking, if you are in a hurry, you shouldn't choose to take a cruise, right?"

"Because I also want to travel along the way..."

Jun Zhongchuan couldn't help but sighed and said.

To this, the man also nodded in agreement, and couldn't help saying:

"really……"

With that said, the man turned to ask:
"By the way, did the radio say when the typhoon will pass?"

And it seems that because of the communication just now, Nakagawa Jun also let go of his guard, so he replied helplessly:

"Hey... Maybe the weather is too affecting the signal. I actually didn't hear anything from here."

Hearing this, the man obviously began to feel a little unhappy and replied:

"This kind of weather forecast broadcast...is unreliable when it comes to critical moments..."

"Huh? Can't you hear the radio?"

At this moment, it seemed that because he heard the man's complaints, another man in his twenties asked in surprise.

"Yes……"

Although it felt a bit abrupt to face this young man's inquiry, Jun Nakagawa responded aloud although he felt a little strange.

However, after receiving Junya Nakagawa's affirmative answer, the young man's expression became a little nervous, as if he was afraid of something, he began to look around in a panic, and saw the porter in the waiting hall. After that, the staff hurried forward and asked if there was a phone in the waiting hall, as if they were anxious to confirm something.

After hearing the man's request, the staff member replied politely, and then led the man to the office in the waiting hall.

In this regard, it seems that the man's actions caused a lot of commotion, and the other passengers present glanced in the direction of the man intentionally or unintentionally.

Among them, a young woman who seemed to be pregnant, with a slightly serious expression, looked a few more times in the direction of the man's departure, her brows were slightly frowned as if she was thinking about something——

This is a very beautiful woman, with long black hair shawl, even because of the heavy rain just now, it didn't disturb her long black hair, on the contrary, she looked even more attractive.

Such a woman appearing here will naturally attract attention, especially when she sees that she is still pregnant.

And, as if aware of the identity of this woman, the man next to Junya Nakagawa whispered to Junya Nakagawa in surprise:
"Hey! You don't even see it, that woman...does she look like the one who announced her retirement...what's her name...what is it?"

Thinking about it, it seemed that he didn't remember the other party's name for a while, but this didn't affect the man who seemed very interested and continued to say:
"According to the gossip, she seems to have chosen to take a break because of some emotional entanglement...Look at her current appearance..."

As he said that, the man seemed to shake his head regretfully.

In this regard, after listening to the man's words, Jun Zhongchuan said with a little regret:

"Sorry, I don't understand this very well... I don't pay attention..."

Having said that, Jun Zhongchuan also glanced at the woman, but he couldn't help saying regretfully:
"But...a pregnant woman staying here alone is really not good, and she doesn't look like she's accompanied by anyone..."

"Yeah, that's why I say it's a pity..."

The man beside him continued to echo:

"No matter what the reason is, it's too pitiful to let a pregnant woman stay here alone..."

In this regard, Jun Zhongchuan also nodded, but he did not want to continue to pursue the idea. After all, everyone present was affected by this sudden typhoon, disrupted their positions, and had to wait here for the typhoon to pass. .

Just like that, not long after, the man who was taken to the office by the staff to make a phone call had also come out of the office with the staff.

But his expression did not seem to be happy because of the experience of entering the office just now, and he was even more apprehensive. He sat back in his seat, seemed a little nervous, and began to hug his suitcase, and dozed off for a while— —

"I'm sorry, it seems that the phone line can't contact the situation outside because of the typhoon. Everyone should rest here!"

The staff at the port mentioned the actual situation to everyone present, dispelling the idea of ​​a few other passengers who also wanted to borrow the phone.

However, these are just some small episodes. For the passengers trapped here, except when the typhoon outside the house will end, it seems that other things are not of interest to everyone, and they just waited silently. The boat hall waited silently.

And Jun Nakagawa is no exception. Seeing that he couldn't hear any news from the radio, Jun Nakagawa finally gave up and didn't try anymore. He was going to rest first——

"I can't hear the radio, I can't make phone calls... plus the weather forecast is inexplicably wrong in predicting the typhoon's landfall time with such a long time difference... such a handwriting..."

At this time, the pregnant woman leaning against the window of the waiting hall alone, listening to the increasingly loud wind and rain outside, thought in a daze, but in the current situation, besides staying here , and there is no other choice...

"I hope he can find a way..."

Thinking about the territory she was in at this time, the woman could only comfort herself in this way, and act as normal as possible, in a remote corner, leaning on her suitcase, closing her eyes and resting...

……

In the middle of the night, the rain continued, and the wind roared——

Although the movement caused by the typhoon outside is very loud, most of the people who are used to it are resting peacefully in the waiting hall at this time. Even the occasional snoring sound from someone will be covered by the movement of the typhoon, showing another A relatively peaceful atmosphere——

However, in such an environment, when everyone had already rested, a figure was slowly walking towards the man who went to the office to borrow the phone by the dim light in the waiting hall.

And this kind of movement, although it did not arouse the vigilance of the man in the first place, on the contrary, in the corner of one side, the pregnant woman woke up sharply and noticed the only person in the boat hall at this time. Figures in action—

However, after noticing that the target of the moving figure did not seem to be her, the woman closed her eyes and fell asleep, pretending to be nothing, and did not make any movements——

After all, that figure was a port worker in uniform.

Thinking of the scene where the man asked the staff to make a call, maybe at this time, because the phone line in the office has been restored, it might be possible to check with the man whether he still needs to use the phone.

Therefore, the woman is just waiting for the development of the situation - if the phone is working now, then maybe she can make a call herself to confirm the situation with him...

And then, the situation seemed to be as the woman thought. After the staff patted the man awake, the man first woke up as if he had been frightened, and subconsciously protected the suitcase in his hand. .

However, when he noticed that the person who came to wake him up was a staff member of the port, the man couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice:
"What's the matter?"

"Hello, sir. The phone line is working now, let's see if..."

Seeing the man's question, the staff also replied in a low voice.

In this regard, the man nodded quickly, as if in a hurry, and said to the staff:

"well……"

Still a little flustered, but rarely showed a trace of relaxed emotion on his expression, got up, and was about to follow the staff.

However, he seemed a little worried. Before he left, the man still looked at the suitcase in front of him. It seemed that if it wasn't because the suitcase was too big, he might have planned to drag the suitcase to the office to make a phone call——

But in the end, such an approach was too strange. When he looked around and found that everyone around him was sleeping, the man was a little relieved, and followed the staff to the office.

In this regard, the feigned woman has already begun to think about it. After the man calls back, she is also going to ask the staff to make a call.

As time passed by, the wind outside was still roaring, and the windows of the waiting hall creaked——

However, after a long time, the man who went to call did not return from the office.

In the woman's slightly squinted eyes, she only saw the staff member walking from the office back to the lobby of the waiting hall alone, and after looking around to make sure no one was awake, she changed to the previous staff member. Next to the man's suitcase, he squatted down and began to rummage through the contents of his suitcase——

"What's the situation? What's wrong?"

Noticing such a situation, the woman was very puzzled, not knowing what happened.

But after the staff pulled out a pure black disc, which looked like a mirror, from the man's suitcase, the corners of the staff's mouth suddenly revealed an expression of extreme surprise.

Then, when the staff member was about to put away the disk and get up to leave——

Suddenly, the staff twitched all over, covered their throats with their hands in distorted and terrified faces, fell to the ground in pain, struggled, and sobbed in pain——

But just as the sound of snoring will be covered by the movement of the typhoon outside, the pain of the staff is also drowned in the howling wind outside and the creaking of the windows!

Moreover, soon, the staff lay on the ground, and there was no movement!

Noticing such a situation, the woman was greatly shocked, but she still pretended not to wake up, and did not move at all——

Something is not right...

Before the situation is clear, let's observe again...

However, just after the staff was completely silent, in the lobby of the waiting hall, a figure slowly got up at this time.

The figure didn't seem to notice the situation of the staff. First, it walked towards the office and didn't know what it was doing inside. After staying for a while, the figure didn't know where to get it. A long knife came, and he walked slowly to the dead staff——

He bent down, wrapped the black disc with a handkerchief, and put it in his arms, but saw that figure raised a knife with both hands, and slashed it down vigorously, smashing another sleeping passenger not far away. cut off the neck directly——

This is!

Realizing what the figure was going to do, the woman couldn't help but froze for a moment——

It's killing...

In the waiting hall under this rainy night, something inexplicably unfolded...
