"A detective who can play with guns?" , Maori Kogoro took the fake gun, took it in his hand and gestured it, and suddenly realized, "It's to shoot a modern historical drama, the detectives at that time were indeed very free, which is like now...... Alas, I haven't touched a gun in a long time. ”

"I'm ashamed to say that it's a modern drama." , Kozaburo Hijikata was slightly embarrassed, he raised his hand and pointed outside the balcony, changing the subject:

"The first scene is on the canal behind this building, confronting the gangsters at gunpoint...... Hearing you say that, this will definitely be used as a goof shot by the audience. ”

The center of the conversation unconsciously shifted to the river, and according to Kozaburo Hijikata, the river-view house was also one of the selling points of the building back then.

"There is no shelter, no exhaust fumes, it is very ventilated, and the air is very good all year round." , Kozaburo Hijikata pushed open the balcony door, nodded to the white tree standing on the balcony and said hello, and then turned to signal to the other people in the house, "Look, it's this river." ”

Hearing him say this, the people in the house also walked out one after another, looking down curiously.

The river is wide, the water flows through without hurry, and it is indeed quite natural - although there are many new high-rise buildings on the opposite bank, because they are too far away, they are more like a layer of beautiful decorations, and do not give people a sense of oppression of tall artefacts.

The scenery is good, the air is better, and people don't want to leave when they stay.

Maori Kogoro immediately obeyed his wishes and did not move the nest, carrying a fake gun, leaning on the balcony to explain the usage to Kozaburo Hijikata.

In the middle of speaking, a recognizable telephone rang in the adjacent room.

Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at the balcony next door, and Xiaolan asked Hijikata, "Aren't you going to answer the phone?" ”

Conan leaned against the railing, stood on tiptoe, and glanced through the balcony into the opposite room, but could not see anything clearly because of the angle and light.

But one thing is certain:

"That room doesn't belong to Mr. Hijikata's."

"That's right, little brother." , Kozaburo Hijikata smiled, "This is Okita's phone ringing." He may have been pestered by the reporters downstairs, so he didn't come up for so long......"

In the middle of speaking, suddenly a figure fell from the door of the next room to the balcony, and then lay stiff on the ground, motionless.

Although the man's expression was hideous, and his eyes and mouth were wide to a terrifying degree, he could still make out -

"Yumi?!"

His wife suddenly appeared on the balcony of someone else's house with an unknown life or death, and Kozaburo Hijikata was very anxious.

As he shouted, he had already stepped on the windowsill of his balcony and was about to jump to the house next door.

Xiao Lan next to her was quick and dragged the person down, "You calm down, this is the fifth floor!" ”

Although it is the fifth floor, there is a gap of more than one meter and a half between the two balconies, which is completely within the range that an adult can cross.

If it weren't for Kozaburo Hijikata in normal times, Xiaolan might have jumped over to check the situation a long time ago.

But at this moment, some kind of force majeure made her like an ordinary girl, and she could only look at the hostess on the opposite balcony in a hurry.

Bai Shu was half-lying on the balcony railing, and while no one was paying attention to him, he raised his hand to suck the soul of the righteous jumping foot and held it down.

After doing all this, I looked back and saw that there was no one running on the balcony for a long time.

……

Kozaburo Hijikata rushed into the corridor and smashed the door in a collapsed manner, "Okita!" You come out for me, Okita!! ”

"The apartment should have a spare key." , Maori Kogoro is still quite clear-headed, "You keep knocking on the door, maybe he will open it, I'll go to the administrator to borrow the key!" ”

Xiaolan also quickly calmed down, skillfully called an ambulance, and then called the police. There are so many things like this that what to do has evolved into a process, and you don't even have to think about it.

However, when she called the police, Kozaburo Hijikata had other suggestions, "If you call the police, there is a police station less than 100 meters from the building and turn right, so it is faster to run over!" ”

"Okay!" , Xiaolan ran away quickly, with a Conan who followed her.

As the two of them left in the elevator, Kozaburo Hijikata stopped hammering the door, straightened up, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his hand and tore off the house number with the words "502 Okita", took out "602 Okimata" from his loose trouser pocket and replaced it, and then turned around refreshed...... I saw a person on the other side walk out of the door, looking at him meaninglessly.

“……”

Kozaburo Hijikata buzzed in his head, and his hand holding the house number of Okita's house instantly broke out in a layer of cold sweat.

…… It's all because the detective has a strong sense of existence, and he completely forgot about this assistant! I don't know if he saw what he just did.

If you see it......

Before Kozaburo Hijikata could think of his words, he only had time to smile awkwardly and prepare to react on the spot.

However, the other party didn't question it at all, looked at him a few times, didn't stop at his feet, went straight to the staircase and left, leaving Kozaburo Hijikata alone at the door, confused.

…… Whether you see it or not, you have a word!

……

When Shiraki walked to the first floor, he saw an ambulance parked outside the gate, and Xiaolan, Conan, medical personnel and police officers were crowded in the corridor, waiting for the elevator.

Xiaolan beckoned to him, "Brother Naoki, this way!" The police and doctors have already arrived, so you don't have to go anymore! ”

The elevator never came down, and Shiraki glanced at the stagnant numbers on the panel and walked towards them.

The police were still asking Xiaolan about the details of the incident, and Bai Shu took the opportunity to catch Conan and whispered, "The person was not killed by Okita." ”

"Kill...... Are you so sure the man is dead? Conan was not too surprised by the fact that people died.

But now, the most suspicious is Okita, Shiraki is only a few minutes late, what happened during this period that made him conclude that Okita is not a murderer?

"See for yourself, I have something to go out." , Bai Shu completely ignored the serious and tense atmosphere around him, and said as ordinary as leaving home to buy comics at a convenience store.

Before he slipped away, he suddenly remembered the fake gun that was played by Maori Kogoro in the original world line and secretly hidden in the sofa, and added:

"I opened the glass door of the balcony, there are my fingerprints on it, it's okay if I can't find it, look elsewhere, the four of us have been in it for nearly half an hour, and it will definitely leave traces."

"What the hell are you talking about......", Conan was confused by his brainless words, but his intuition still made him remember the content of the words.

He still wanted to ask, but the senior salted fish on the opposite side slipped quickly, and disappeared as soon as he slipped away.

"......", Conan looked at the slightly swaying hallway door, and could only swallow the words back into his stomach.

And until this time, the elevator was still occupied and did not come down.

The people downstairs finally couldn't wait any longer and decided to run up the stairs to the sixth floor.

Xiaolan gave way to the doctor and the police, and turned back to Conan, who was still pondering in place, "Let's go too." ”

"Oh, good." , Conan came back to his senses, trotted a few steps to follow, and when he passed by Xiaolan, he took her hand.

……

The canal is wide, and the bridge that crosses it is also long.

Halfway down the sidewalk by the bridge, the notebook in Shiraki's pocket began to react faintly.

Compared to the previous time when Conan knocked the liquor transformed,This time,The reaction of the book is obviously greater.,It's like a leaking electric shock stick.。

It can be seen that the person whose name is written on it is in a critical situation.

Bai Shu reluctantly pulled out the notebook, twisted his two fingers, and trotted up.
