Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 972
"what?"

When Miwako Sato heard the report on the other end of the phone, she suddenly blurted out the news in surprise, allowing Gao Yuan on the side to hear the situation, and after learning the situation of "Mr. Xu was killed", Gao Yuan's whole body People were also very shocked, and couldn't help but said:

"Mr. Xu Hongshu was killed?"

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

Obviously at this time, Xu Hongshu should be under the protection of the police.And the other Zemu Fairy, the murderer in the original work, should also be under the protection of the police at this time...

Thinking about it in this way, Gao Yuan only felt a little headache about the development of the current situation, especially he didn't expect that although the surname of the one who escaped in the original work has changed, but his identity is indeed Mr. Hiroki, what will happen? He was killed.

Such a result was really unexpected.

Therefore, he didn't bother to go to the restaurant where the Maori family had dinner together to do research, so Gao Yuan said to Miwako Sato:
"Then Officer Sato, where was Mr. Asahi Hiroki killed? Let's go to the scene as soon as possible!"

"it is good!"

With the same intention, Miwako Sato nodded seriously, replied affirmatively, and then drove towards the place where the incident happened——

That is, the residence of Mr. Xu Hongshu.

Taking advantage of the time on the way, Gao Yuan still couldn't help asking seriously about what had happened:
"Officer Sato, what are the specific circumstances of the murder of Mr. Asahi Hiroki?"

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

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

After all, no matter how you say it, this time, the behavior of the gangster has jumped from an injury incident that did not cause death to a homicide incident, not to mention that Mr. Xu Hongshu was killed under the protection of the police. This is clearly a naked provocation to the police.

As for this, listening to Miwako Sato's narration, Gao Yuan roughly had some images in his mind, and at the same time, the wound on his right shoulder that was shot by the arrow of the crossbow also began to ache a little at this time——

Compared with using methods such as changing the eye drops, the murderer's method of killing this time has become extremely simple and direct. After shooting the victim with a poisoned arrow, the victim will naturally die.

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

Because Mr. Hiroki in the original work insulted the dignity of Sawaki Fair as a wine taster, so in the end, when Zeki Fair's crimes were exposed by Conan, Zeki Fair was so frantic that he didn't care about the tricks. The Sea Paradise where he was in was blown up, and he planned to hold Xiaolan hostage and threaten everyone to let him go, preparing to kill Mr. Hiroki in the end.

So judging from the original work, if the murderer is really Sawaki Fair, and there was indeed such a past experience between them in the original work, then it is not incomprehensible that Asahi Hiroki would be killed.

But right now, the situation where Xu Hongshu was directly killed is very different from the original work——

In the original work, in order to let Mori Kogoro and others draw the suspicion of gangsters to Murakami, all his attack sequences are strictly in accordance with the countdown of the playing cards, so although it is Mr. Hiroki's turn At that time, the attack by changing the eye drops failed in the end and killed Mr. Hiroki, and Sawaki Fair did not continue to launch a new attack on him, but continued to attack the next target in order.

But now, Mr. Xu Hongshu should create the illusion that he has been affected by the potion according to his own suggestion, that is to say, the gangster's attack was considered a success, but the gangster did not choose to stop, but The attack on Xu Hongshu was repeated directly, and it was at this time that he was killed.

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 gangsters, it will be the next turn, instead of attacking the target that has already been attacked.

But now, unless the gangster knows that Xu Hongshu didn't drop eye drops at all this time, that is, the attack originally arranged by the gangster didn't work, otherwise, according to the previous practice, the gangster has no reason to launch another attack.

Or, I originally thought that the gangster would always abide by the previous attack rules, but I was a little naive about this gangster?

After all, for a gangster who changes his target according to the situation, it is hard to say that he is an obsessive-compulsive person who pursues perfection in everything...

Sure enough, although I wanted to avoid it, my preconceived notions still affected my judgment more or less...

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

At this time, the surroundings of the villa have been alerted by the police. At the same time, the police officer Megure and Mori Kogoro, who were originally in charge of protecting the next target who represents the number "eight" The news of Xu Hongshu's death, so he chose to rush over——

At the entrance of the villa, I watched the body of Mr. Xu Hongshu, who was poisoned by an arrow, being carried away by the police. I saw that this time, the friend I knew was really killed. Mori Kogoro, who was angry about the incident, now had a pent-up anger on his face, unable to express it, but it gave people the feeling that Mouri could feel it more than the obvious emotions. Kogoro's anger this time.

Officer Meguro watched the police officer carry Asahi Hiroki's body in front of him, gave a slight signal to stop the police officer, and then slightly lifted the cover with his white gloved hand. On the cloth on the corpse, I checked the position of the arrow on Xu Hongshu's body.

Seeing that there was a scar on Xu Hongshu's left shoulder, and Xu Hongshu's face of painful death, Police Officer Mu Mu sighed, closed his eyes, and mourned silently, so he didn't want to look any further , Let the police take the body away first.

"Officer Megure, Mr. Mori..."

At this time, looking at the police officer Megure and Mori Kogoro who were standing at the entrance of the villa compound and about to enter the villa, Gao Yuan, who just came over, stepped forward to stop them, and then he habitually asked a sentence:
"You are here too? What about the protection of Mr. Sawaki Fair?"

"Shiratori is now responsible for the protection of Mr. Sawaki. Now Mr. Hiroki has been killed in this way. We have given up the decision to protect Mr. Sawaki in secret and have started to protect Mr. Sawaki around the clock!"

With a serious expression, because Mr. Xu Hongshu was already under the secret protection of the police or was killed by gangsters, so Police Officer Megure explained emphatically, saying that the police have stepped up efforts to target the targets who are about to be attacked by gangsters. We have increased our protection and are ready to do our best to prevent the next deceased from appearing.

As for this, after listening to what Police Officer Megure said, Gao Yuan also basically confirmed that, at least since Officer Megure and the others saw Zemu Fairy, Zeki Fairy had never left the police's sight, that is to say, Zeki Fairy attacked The possibility of killing Xu Hongshu simply does not exist.

Therefore, for Gao Yuan, the identity of the murderer in this incident has completely returned to the point where he knows nothing about it.

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

At this time, in the specific place where Xu Hongshu was killed, in the bedroom where he lived, Gao Mushe led the police to investigate the scene.

"Takagi, what's going on!"

As soon as he saw Takagi Tsutomu, who was in charge of secretly protecting Mr. Asahi Hiroki, Police Officer Megure immediately shouted at him, asking him about the situation of the incident in an attitude of asking for guilt.

"Officer Mumu..."

Regarding this, Takagi She couldn't help but shuddered when he heard the tone of Police Officer Megure. Somehow he knew that it was his negligence this time, so Takagi She couldn't help but lowered his head in response.

"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, Miwako Sato couldn't help asking in surprise, feeling that even if it was in the dark, there was no way to protect her personally, and there was no reason for the murderer to come directly to the villa where the victim lived in your bedroom?
"This one……"

Hearing Miwako Sato say the same, Takagi Tsubasa looked even more depressed, and he couldn't help but reply:

"The murderer... didn't commit the crime in the bedroom, but outside the villa..."

As he said that, Takagi pointed to the French window of this bedroom, and saw that there was an obviously broken hole on the French window, and probably the indoor floor corresponding to the hole was scattered with a pile of broken glass debris.

In this regard, Takagi continued to explain and explained:
"Officer, look... the murderer should be outside, smashing the glass of Mr. Hiroki's bedroom with a stone, and after attracting Mr. Hiroki to come to the window to check the situation, the gangster was outside again, using a crossbow and the like The thing aimed at Mr. Hiroki and shot an arrow. And because the arrow was coated with hydride this time, as long as the murderer shoots Mr. Hiroki, he can kill Mr. Hiroki with one blow..."

Saying so, Takagi Shepherd's expression became even more helpless——

"And after our people slammed into the door to check because they heard the movement in the bedroom, it was too late... After all, Mr. Hiroki didn't let our people into the bedroom to protect him personally, and we couldn't do it in time. Stop Hiroki-san..."

"That's it..."

In this regard, after listening to Takagi Shepherd's statement, looking at the traces at the scene and the location where Xu Hongshu fell to the ground, Police Officer Megure made a general judgment and analysis, and felt that Takagi Shepherd's words were also reasonable.

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

Faced with such a situation, Miwako Sato asked a little puzzled:
"Evidently in the morning, the criminals had already lured Mr. Hongshu away by breaking the glass of Mr. Hongshu's house, and this time the other party directly smashed the glass of his bedroom... Isn't he a bit vigilant about this? heart?"

"Maybe, he felt that the other person was still indoors, and the police were protecting him, so he thought it would be no big deal to just go and have a look, but he didn't expect..."

Because he had known Asahi Hiroki for some time, he had some understanding of his arrogance, but Mori Kogoro guessed so with a dignified expression.

In this regard, listening to Mori Kogoro's words, Police Officer Megure recalled the Asahi Hiroki he met not long ago. After his attitude when facing the police, he felt that what Mori Kogoro said made sense, so he nodded , responding with:
"It makes sense to say that..."

"but……"

At this time, while several people were talking like this, Gao Yuan tried to bypass the broken glass on the ground, stood in front of the window and looked outside, looking at the villa surrounded by the outer wall outside the window of the bedroom The backyard, and outside the fence is a street with street lights, and after a rough visual inspection of the distance, Gao Yuan asked curiously:
"Officer Takagi, you said that after you heard the movement, you rushed in to check the door, so did you notice where the gangster outside the window shot?"

"Yes."

In response to Gao Yuan's inquiry, Gao Mushe responded:
"After we came in, we found that Mr. Hiroki was lying by the window, so we immediately looked out of the window. At that time, on the street outside, the gangster was wearing a motorcycle suit and a helmet, riding a A motorcycle was about to leave. Although we chased it right away, we failed to catch up..."

Saying so, Takagi Tsubasa looked a little frustrated.

"On the street..."

As for this, 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, and Gao Yuan frowned slightly——

"This distance..."

For this reason, 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 for Officer Mumu to finish answering the phone before speaking——

"Hello? What's the matter? Someone outside wants to enter the scene? This kind of thing needs to be reported to me! This is the scene of the crime. Before the incident is investigated, anyone..."

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

However, before Police Officer Mu Mu could finish his reprimand, a familiar voice came from the phone——

"It's me, Kudo Shinichi!"

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

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

"Ah! Brother Kudo!"

Immediately, after hearing Kudo Shinichi's voice, Police Officer Megure said in surprise, and at the same time, his eyes lit up...
