【Chapter 156】White Sugar; Overnight

Ashikaga Shuchen's face turned pale, and Conan's reasoning almost sentenced him to death. Half-ringing, he recovered from the shock, and smiled helplessly: "It's worthy of Detective Mori Kogoro, my carefully planned plan has still been seen through by you, but how do you think this trap will take effect?" After all, this trap seems to be a little too coincidental, and it is impossible to succeed at all. ”

"So from the beginning, as a photojournalist, you made suggestions to Mr. Uesugimori, and in order to make the room more suitable for taking pictures, Mr. Uesugi Mori also tried his best to cooperate with you, for example, the office chair should be set fixed, and the lighting should be set up as a chandelier, these are all your suggestions, all in order to better implement your plan." Conan said.

"Yes, yes," Ashikaga Shuchen nodded in praise, "My motives, Mr. Maori should have reasoned out, right?" ”

"It's very simple, because you have an intimate photo of Mr. Uesugi Mori, to be precise, a misleading photo that you took from an angle, but one day, your photo was lost, and then it reached Mr. Uesugi Mori by coincidence, and you killed Uesugi Mori in order to avoid suspicion, right?" Conan shook his head with some regret.

"That's right, and long before this party, I heard that Uesugi Mori had invited Mr. Mori Kogoro, and I was afraid that things would be exposed, so I came up with this trap," Ashikaga Shutashi said, "How did the Mori detective know about this?" Sure enough, it was commissioned by Mr. Uesugi Mori. ”

"No, you're wrong."

"Huh?" Everyone in the room looked at Mori Kogoro strangely.

"I came this time, I didn't know what the commission was, and Mr. Uesugi Mori didn't say anything, but I found the photo from Mr. Uesugi Mori's desk in his study, and it had been torn to shreds."

"What?" Ashikaga Shuchen's eyes widened in disbelief, "So how can he investigate who did it?" ”

"He didn't want to investigate at all, I guess he already knew that you did it, because only you know his travel time best, and these photos were taken when he was traveling, I guess he tore these photos up and kept them, he wanted to return them to you, so that you can mend your ways, he wants you to know that you are lucky to have met him, if it were those businessmen who eat people and don't spit out bones, you would have been out of this world for a long time," Conan sighed, "It's a pity, Mr. Uesugi Mori is the most unlucky, and her daughter is even more unlucky!" ”

……

In a very ordinary two-story building, a Caucasian man opened the door, this seemed to be his home, at least he behaved like this - he entered the door to change his shoes, put his jacket on the hanger, and felt the switch of the light, he seemed to be familiar with this place, not at all like he had come here for the first time.

I took out a jug of juice from the fridge and the wireless phone rang. The mechanical bell echoed through the empty room, and for a moment, everything was silent, only the cold bell...... Jingle Bell ...... Jingle Bell ......

"Hello?"

"Got something?"

"Yes, the plutonium canister is very professional, but it is kept by unprofessional people, and I will take it back for public and private, and for reason."

"Turn it on."

"Oh...... Do you need me to give you some science? Although plutonium is relatively low-toxic, if it leaks out, my residential area will definitely suffer, maybe they won't die immediately but cancer or something......" He opened the plutonium jar.

"Wow," he was a little surprised, "Master, you really didn't lie to me?" ”

"How's it going?"

"Hmm...... Tsk, it's soft and sweet, where did you buy the sugar? He dipped his fingers in some sugar and put it in his mouth.

"Made in Yunnan, China, do you like it? You can drink coffee with it. ”

"So that man's life is only worth a jar of sugar?"

"No, no, no, you must know, I don't like to kill people indiscriminately, you must know that this person has made a fortune recently, why? Personal effort? Oh haha my lovely apprentice, how could he be where he is today without the support of the organization? It's a pity, my plan was discovered by him, he wanted to leak it, there was only one way out, but it's a pity that he actually looked for those detectives, detectives? What can those idiots do? The police are more professional than them. ”

"So what am I going to do next?"

"Of course stay in Japan, have fun, I'll let you know, goodbye, don't get hurt, my dear apprentice."

……

Dr. Asasa's house.

"It's a pity, people are too impetuous now, if you can sit down and have a cup of tea and talk about your heart, maybe there won't be so many tragedies, right?" Ji Haihong was lying on the sofa and said with emotion.

Conan doesn't comment on this, he's texting on his phone, and he seems preoccupied.

"So, did you gain anything from learning reasoning with Edogawa-kun this time?" Gray Yuan didn't lift his eyes, and concentrated on admiring the magazine.

Ji Haihong turned over and looked at Gray Yuan: "I reiterate once again, I didn't learn from him...... Well, I do admire his reasoning skills, don't I, Conan? ”

Conan, on the other hand, was staring at his phone, his expression a little deep.

"What are you doing, Xiao Ke? The case is over, although the ending is a little sad, I didn't expect you to still be a lover? Ji Haihong quipped.

"Officer Takagi just sent me a reply, saying that according to Ashikaga Shutashi's confession, he didn't make that trap in the warehouse."

"What?" Ji Haihong sat up, "Who else could it be if it wasn't him?" ”

……

It's been a while since the last incident, and the enigmatic trap has been forgotten in the dusty corners.

On this day, the rain was pouring down, the sky was covered with black oppressive rain clouds, and the dull thunder often sounded in my ears. The sound of rain falling on the ground almost blocked everyone's ears, and the moisture in the air was overwhelming. All the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, hurrying to get back to their homes.

But this has nothing to do with Ji Haihong.

Playing an elegant piece of music, Ji Haihong squinted at the water droplets that slipped on the car window, and held a cup of warm milk coffee in his hand. David dutifully drove the counterfeit Audi sedan, the windshield wipers swaying back and forth, but the tough rain always came and went.

Conan, Ashbara, and the children sat in the back, all enjoying the drink David had prepared. Unlike the scene of heavy rain and lightning and thunder outside, the inside of the car is very quiet and warm.

"Today's weather forecast is over, thank you for watching."

The children cried out, "Huh? Typhoon? Rainstorm? It's over, how are we going to get home......"

Conan asked, "Ji Haihong, why haven't you arrived yet?" At the current rate, it should be possible to reach their house soon, right? ”

Ji Haihong was happy: "We have taken a long detour, there are two main roads waterlogged, and three roads have car accidents, hey, can't they turn on the sewer system for tsunami prevention?" With such a heavy rainstorm, it is not good to rely on ordinary sewers. ”

"Do you think that super sewer is just a random drain...... The alert level is not yet there, and it can't be activated at all. "Conan's half-moon eyes.

"The Tokyo metropolitan area is dedicated to flood control during the typhoon season, and now that it's this season, it's almost usable...... I'll go, there's another car accident ahead, David, just find a way to drive to the villa! Ji Haihong was a little impatient.

"You said it earlier." David put down a newly learned Chinese dialect and turned the wheel.

Ji Haihong turned back to them and said, "I don't think you can go back tonight, do you want to stay at my house?" ”

The passengers all glanced back at the trunk and silently agreed.

So, today, Dr. Asasa was invited to a friend's house, and Dr. Asa brought the children with him. Then there was no fatality, but the doctor suddenly had an emergency, and a scientific symposium in Tokyo urgently summoned all the members to a meeting, and he went back first. As soon as the doctor left, there was a case at his friend's place→_→ and then the case was solved with Conan's efforts, but fortunately no one died, and then they came back - the luggage they brought with them didn't come in handy at all, and they had planned to spend the night there.

And these luggage now come in handy, at least they are not afraid of not having clothes to change when they spend the night in the villa.

"Yes, yes, due to the heavy rain and typhoon, I can only stay at Ji Haihong's house, well, Conan, Mitsuhiko, Motota and Gray Yuan are all here, um, okay, Mom, goodbye!" The well-behaved Ayumi hung up the phone and nodded happily to her partners.

"Okay kids, the meal is ready, and you can eat right away." David poked his head out of the kitchen and shouted.

"Hey!" The children, who were watching TV, happily went to the bathroom.

"Potato bacon gratin with creamy mushroom soup, well, it looks pretty good." Ji Haihong scooped out a little soup with a soup spoon and tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction.

Conan and Gray Plains, who helped in the kitchen, also cleaned up. Conan said, "It's enough for the kids, but it's rare that you make Western food." ”

"There is no food reserve at home, tomorrow David, don't forget to go to the supermarket to buy some back, after eating these things tonight, the villa will be completely out of food." Ji Haihong joked.

Gray Yuan smiled softly and said, "Could it be that we have eaten the famous mercenary Mr. poor?" ”

"Almost!" Ji Haihong shrugged.

Tomorrow is another pleasant weekend, even better if the rain stops. After eating, Ji Haihong asked David to arrange bath water. Clean bathrobes and toiletries are available in the villa, so the kids don't have to worry about bathing.

"Which of you comes first?" Ji Haihong asked while holding a bathrobe.

The children looked at each other, and Conan said, "Let's give preference to the ladies." ”

In accordance with the design concept of the villa, the bathroom on the second floor is dedicated to the use of guests. Usually Ji Haihong uses the bathroom on the third floor, and David uses the bathroom on the second floor.

Of course, the bathrooms in the villas are not only showers and the like, but also have luxurious baths, which are different from ordinary bathtubs. It's just that David hasn't been here, and Ji Haihong has only been here once. Because of their occupational illness, they were afraid that they would be attacked while bathing in the bath......

"What a big bathtub, mourning-chan!" When the girls came to the misty bathroom, even Ayumi, who had a well-to-do family, was surprised, not only by the size of the bath, but also by the luxury.

The black marble and white porcelain bath is like an ink painting, and the taps by the pool are still slowly flowing clear warm water. White foam floated on the surface of the water, and there seemed to be something like a fountain at the bottom of the pool, gurgling out. A waterproof electronic device is also placed next to the bath to regulate the speed and temperature of the water.

Even Gray Yuan, who was not interested in these, was a little stunned, and it was the first time she had seen such a tall thing.

So, the two little Lori, who were naked, began to take a bath...... (nosebleeds o(*////▽////*)q)
