Chapter 42 Approaching
The two people in the bedroom didn't seem to be prepared because they thought it might be an accomplice? If there was only one person in the kitchen, then I would still be able to handle it. Anyway, they're all here, and rescuing Dr. Asa is also a repayment of the favor he owed Conan in Osaka.
"Click, click......" There was the sound of shuffling footsteps from inside the kitchen, and I was leaning against the side of the wall. This person, listening to the footsteps, should be a fat man, and the movements do not seem to be very neat. Would the organization send such a person here? And it's been a long time since the sound of broken glass was heard, why is this person still in the kitchen? I was full of doubts, and then I had a vague conjecture in my mind.
I don't have time to think about it anymore, the people in the kitchen have already walked out. The moment the figure appeared in my sight, I rushed out without hesitation, tripped the man, grabbed the other's arm with one hand, covered his mouth with the other, and rode up.
"Don't move, or you...... ......"I didn't say the next words, because I could see the person in that moment. Dr. Asasa ...... Twitching the corners of my mouth, I looked at the person below me, and the doubts just now disappeared at once, and all the unusualness was explained.
"Uh-huh...... Dr. Asasa was still covering his mouth, and I quickly let go of my hands, got up from his body and stepped aside. "Ah, it hurts...... Who are you...... Hey, is it Nighta?" Dr. Asa sat up as he rubbed his aching head, and then saw me a little embarrassed.
"Doctor, I'm sorry, I was a little nervous. I explained with a cold face to Dr. Asasa with a surprised face.
"Ah, that's fine. Dr. Asa waved his hand, then looked at me puzzled, "But why are you in my house, Saya?
"Well, this, I just knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, and the door was not locked, so I came in directly. I answered Dr. Asasa selectively.
"Huh, didn't I lock the door?" Dr. Asa scratched his head, "Ah, I guess I forgot." ”
It's really unexpectedly deceitful, the lie I said casually was made up by him himself.
"But, Saya, what happened to you just now?" Dr. Asa still hadn't forgotten his previous question.
"Are you the only one in the Doctor's house?" I asked suddenly, looking up into Dr. Asasa's eyes.
"yes, what's wrong? Why do you ask?" Dr. Asasa looked at me strangely.
My eyes were slightly downcast, after all, I didn't know the doctor after all, and I had only been with a few children from the Junior Detective Corps a few times before, and I still couldn't fully trust a person. There is obviously someone in the bedroom, but he said that he is the only one here, is there something he wants to hide from me?
"Yes, But, Doctor, I seem to have heard someone else from the direction of the bedroom, and adults can't lie to a child like that. Dangerously narrowed, the saber slowly slid from his sleeve to the hand behind his back.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Asasa did not show the panic on his face when he heard this, but an embarrassed expression. "Xiaoye, did you hear that?"
"Hmph, do you admit it?" I sneered, and stepped back slightly, putting on a posture ready to attack.
"Huh...... Wait, wait a minute, I said saya, did you misunderstand something?" Dr. Asasa heard the inadequacy of my tone, waved his hand and took two steps back. "That's just the movie I'm watching. ”
"Movie ......" I tilted my head and instantly understood everything.
"Eun, that's it. By the way, Sayo, did you come to me for something?" the doctor was still a little puzzled by my sudden visit.
"Well, yes, Doctor, did you take in a girl yesterday?" I thought for a moment, getting straight to the point.
"Ah, you mean Xiao Ai, yes, yesterday...... Ah, no, she's a distant relative of mine, probably my niece or something. The doctor said that he had leaked his mouth, and hurriedly lied back. "Speaking of which, she should have gone to school today, have you already met?"
"Yes, I see. I pretended not to hear his panic and nodded slightly. Well, I saw her, but she didn't see me yet.
"Huh, why didn't you come back together?" the doctor wondered.
"Well, they should have gone to play, I was a little uncomfortable today, so I came back first. "I was in poor spirits today and you can see it.
"Oh, that's right. The doctor nodded in understanding, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his head with a wicked smile, "Now, Xiaoye, in that case, why don't we play a prank." Next, he told me what he had in mind. I shrugged my shoulders and said I didn't care, "Well, I won't deliberately expose it anyway." ”
For the rest of the day, the doctor and I were arranging the so-called "pranks", but don't you think it's strange to let a little kid play such a prank with you, doctor?
Time passed until it was getting late, but Conan and Shirley never returned. The doctor waited impatiently and urged me to call Conan.
"Mochizuki, what's wrong?" Conan picked up the phone quickly.
"Nothing, just wanted to ask why you haven't come back yet. I looked at the doctor's anxious appearance and was a little amused.
"Mochizuki, where are you now?" Conan's tone was anxious with unconcealed urgency.
"What's going on?" I heard that something was wrong, frowned slightly, and waved my hand at the doctor who was secretly talking to me on the side.
"Come over here, there's something going on here. "Conan's words made me stunned, something happened? Could it be that Shirley confessed to him? No, even if I confessed to him, he didn't know my identity, why did he tell me?
"Don't be in a hurry, tell me what's going on. I said to Conan as I gestured to the doctor and walked out of Dr. Asa's house.
"After you left, we accepted a commission, a child's brother was kidnapped by several men dressed in black, before Ayumi and I followed the trail of the man in black to find their base, and now we are all here. Conan quickly told me what had happened.
"Alright, you don't need to say anything, I'll go over right away. "The man in black?Conan's words made me very concerned, and at the moment, I didn't think much about it, and hurriedly stopped a taxi. "Where are you now?"
"We are downstairs from the Otoshima Shimbun Agency. ”
"Go to the Otoshima Shimbun. I got into the taxi, said to the driver without looking up, and then continued to instruct Conan, "Listen, you guys stay where you are now, by the way, you must keep an eye on a few of them, don't let them run around, you know?"
"Well, I know, they're ...... now Oh no!!" Conan's voice suddenly rose an octave.
"What's wrong?" I frowned.
"Those little ghosts snuck into the newspaper office while I wasn't there, damn it, didn't I just say let them stay where they are?" Conan scolded as he explained to me.
"What about the one called Gray Plains?
"She must have gone in too, I didn't see her here. Conan was in a hurry, not noticing why I was suddenly asking, and replied casually.
"Okay, I see. My brow furrowed even deeper, did Shirley go too? "Conan, listen, don't act rashly now, wait for me first......"
"Mochizuki, it's too late, I'll go up first. Before I could finish my sentence, Conan hung up the phone first.
"Hey, hey?" I frowned and dialed back, only to hear the other person's phone turn off. I hung up angrily, none of these imps were obedient guys, Shirley's position was unclear now, and even if she was on our side, she was just a civilian in the organization, and she had no ability to resist at all, let alone now, what could she do with her current little body?
"Master, drive faster. I yelled at the driver.
"Well, little brother, are you in a hurry?" the driver, who looked to be a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eighteen years old, smiled at me in a friendly manner, "Well, you have to sit down." ”
The taxi sped up sharply and sped down the road full of cars. Although I was anxious, I did not lose my judgment, and when I looked at the driver, I was amazed at the skill of this man. Then after a short while, I suddenly noticed something unusual and quietly made defensive movements. This person, something is wrong, something is very wrong.
"Little brother, it's here, go down quickly. "After several red lights, it took me half the time to get to the newspaper office than normal.
"Well, thank you, uncle. "I handed over the money, because I wasn't sure if this person was hostile to me, although I found something abnormal, but I didn't say anything, the most important thing now is to get those little ghosts out, so it's better to do less if you can.
"Well, you're welcome, little brother, go quickly, your 5 friends are still waiting for you. The driver smiled and took the money. But, how wrong it is, this person actually investigated me?!
