30 Chapter 30
The two of them got together, and it only made Midorikawa feel as if he had returned to the period when he was undercover, and when Bourbon and Ley were in the same room, they were either as silent as death or like a barrel of dynamite about to be ignited, and the smell of gunpowder could be smelled from 800 meters away.
Sure enough, as he said, with the last chain knocking on the door frame, Mori Kogoro opened the door with a calm face.
Through the crack in the door, Ikekawa Na saw that Conan Edogawa, who had rushed in with him just now, was crouching next to a man who had fallen to the ground, his eyes lowered and he pondered. The place where the head of the man who fell to the ground was already flowing from the floor of dark red blood, apparently long since he was breathing.
"Xiaolan, go contact the police." The detective's expression was serious, "Mr. Narihiko Yasuda was in the room just now and was killed. β
Hearing this, the long-haired girl covered her face and let out a scream of disbelief.
Killed?
Ikekawa frowned.
His original task was to make this guy unable to speak after handing over the USB flash drive, but he didn't expect to be preempted by others at this time. Bourbon wasn't the kind of guy who would act on his own and kill people in the room in such a reckless way, and the murderer was obviously someone else.
It seems that this guy really has a lot of enemies.
He turned his head to look at Toru Amuro, who hadn't rushed over with Mori Kogoro, at the door, and frowned, "What's going on?" β
The blonde man who was asked took away the solemn look in his eyes, shrugged his shoulders like a real member of an organization that treats human life as nothing, because he was worried about the people around him, and his voice was very low, "It seems that we are not the only two who have come here to kill him." β
In the room, Conan Edogawa walked out with a calm face, turned his head to look at the two people who were talking next to him, and recalled the scene not long ago.
ββ
Two hours ago, with the exception of Na Ikekawa, who returned to the room, the group was no longer in the mood to enjoy refreshments when they arrived at the restaurant, and after Kogoro Mori fell asleep on the sofa due to his previous drunkenness, the others dispersed.
After waiting for more than an hour, the maid had already prepared dinner, and the few met again in the dining room.
When Sayuri Yasuda reappeared in front of several people, Conan Edogawa remembered the doctor's words just now and Ichiro Yasuda's appearance, and looked up and asked, "By the way, Aunt Yasuda." Uncle Yasuda seems to have had a heart attack before, how is he now, is he getting better? β
"Heart disease? That guy doesn't have a heart attack......" Sayuri Yasuda was stunned for a while, picked up the water glass next to her, I don't know what she was doing just now, her expression was extremely stiff at the moment, "Who wants to see him is good or not, it's none of my business." Besides, didn't he come out of the parlor and go back to his room? I guess it's a break. β
"That's the case......" Edogawa Conan glanced at the other and sat back down.
Wasn't that after being helped into the parlor by the maid to rest, he left the parlor immediately?
No heart disease. Then Yasuda Ichiro's reaction just now was even more strange, as if he saw something or suddenly thought of something, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, was there anything scary in the corridor at that time?
And the direction in which he looks... That's right! He was looking at Mr. Amuro! That piece of Okiya, Amuro Toru, Ikekawa Na and the photographer named Midorikawa are all there, who did he see to be scared like that?
"Mr. Amuro......" Thinking about it, Edogawa Conan simply prepared to go directly to Amuro next to him to ask for an explanation. The boy leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Why did you come here with Mr. Ikekawa today?" β
"Huh?" The blonde man picked up the cut beef in front of him with a fork, and the smile on his face was not flawed in the slightest, "Didn't you just say that I came here to work part-time." β
If you work three jobs at the same time, you still have time for a part-time fourth job, who would believe this kind of nonsense!
Expecting this kind of result, Conan Edogawa puffed up his already round side face and asked, "Then why didn't he come to dinner?" β
"Mr. Ikekawa had texted that he had no appetite and asked me to cancel his portion of dinner. That's what the old man said, I think he wanted to rest for a while
bar. β
Hearing the other party's inquiry, the maid responded before putting away the glass of the aperitif, "Young Master Azhi, he also said that there are some things to deal with, and he will not be able to come to dinner until later." β
Halfway through dinner, Yasuda was late, and when he sat down, his expression was not good, and when asked, he just casually slipped away.
Looking at the other party's expression, before the boy could ask anything more, he heard a phone ringing next to him.
"I'm sorry." It was found that the landline placed next to the restaurant was ringing, and the maid quickly went over to pick up the phone.
The telephone was old and could only be played outside, and the people over there were talking so loudly that almost everyone at the table could hear the voice on the other side.
"Hey, Xuya." On the other end of the phone, Ichiro Yasuda's voice came, "Is dinner ready?" Dinner will be brought directly to my room in a moment, and I won't go down......"
Speaking of this, the man's voice suddenly froze, and there was a faint knock on the phone on the other side of the door, as if someone was coming to him, "Wait a minute." β
After saying this, Ichiro Yasuda put down the phone and left.
"Hey...? Master? No one responded after shouting a few times, the maid lowered her eyes helplessly, and Yasuda Tomoya at the dining table shook her head, "Really, you must at least hang up the phone before talking to others." β
"Maybe it's just a quick chat and I'll be back soon, so I don't think I need to hang up, right?" Maoriran thought for a moment.
"Really...?" The man who stood up also seemed to think that this statement made sense, and only spoke after waiting for a long time and not seeing the other party come back to answer the phone, "I don't think he will come back to answer the phone for a while, and I just happened to go to the kitchen to get some juice, just in time to serve his dinner." β
"Don't bother Young Master Azhi, I can ......"
"Forget it, he's in such a bad mood now, I'll send it." Stopping the maid lady from preparing to go to the kitchen, Yasuda said with a smile, "Because of the heavy snow these days, you are the only one who is here to help tonight." You've been busy preparing dinner for everyone for so long, so let me do this little thing. β
With that, he walked towards the kitchen.
"I'm going with me too! I'd like to go and see what juice is left in the kitchenβ"
Unable to dispel his doubts about Yasuda Ichiro's behavior just now, Edogawa Conan immediately jumped down from the chair and found a reason to follow the other party to the kitchen.
"Conan, don't mess with the kitchen.
β
"Uh-huh!" The boy responded to Mao Lilan's advice and ran over in a few steps to Yasuda Tomo's side.
"Brother Yasuda, is Uncle Yasuda's work very stressful, I see that he was so tired just now, he was sweating, could it be that he was too busy at work?" On the way, Edogawa Conan raised his head and asked in a milky voice.
"No, I think it's for other reasons. In fact... My father has been a little strange lately. I didn't expect to be asked like this suddenly, Yasuda said in a low voice, "It looks like I've lost my soul, I always lock myself in my room, and say something like I'm coming to me like I've lost my soul...... I think he's because the company is too stressed. β
The boy frowned.
You're coming to me...... What is he referring to? Could it be some kind of enemy?
"You're coming for me? Did he say who was coming? The little detective with glasses immediately seized on this point and asked, "Could it be that some bad guy is threatening to come to him, isn't that to tell the police uncle about this?" β
"It shouldn't be a threatening letter or anything like that. As for who it was, it wasn't mentioned......" The man frowned, as if he was also considering the possibility of being sent a threatening letter.
"Anyway, Dad doesn't seem to be in good spirits lately, and he always has insomnia. One night it was very late, and I passed by the study and heard his voice, saying something about Columbeth......"
"Columbai?!"
Edogawa Conan's eyes widened instantly.
Wait a minute! This wine name, could it be that the person who Yasuda Ichiro said was going to come to him was a member of the black-clothed organization?!
"What's wrong?" Startled by the boy's suddenly raised voice, Yasuda asked quickly.
"Scared the hell out of me......"
"No, nothing." The boy who subconsciously raised his voice just now fooled this matter with a haha, "I'm just thinking about what Columbai is, it feels different from other foreign names, it's so strange to read!" β
"That's the name of a white wine, and you'll know it when you're old enough to drink. Alright, the kitchen is here, let's see what you want to drink. β
Talking about his recent doubts and worries, Yasuda seemed to be much more relaxed, and after telling the chef about his father's request, he stood by and waited for the boy to finish his drink and return to the restaurant together.
"Thank you, uncle, wowβthere's so many colorful paints!" After being brought to the front of the tall drink cabinet, Edogawa Conan looked up at the cook with a childish smile, and by the time the other party returned to the boiler to work, he faced the cabinet with a completely sinking face.
Columbia ...... What Yasuda Ichiro said at the time was definitely not as simple as a wine name, it must also be a code name, a code name for one of those guys in the Black Organization.
He flipped out his phone and quickly sent a text message to Gray Yuan, asking if there were any members of the organization with this codename. After sending it, the boy casually took a bottle of orange juice from it, greeted the chef, and walked towards the young man waiting at the door.
As soon as he walked to the other party's side, Edogawa Conan felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, and it was obviously Gray Hara, who had just received a text message not long ago, and called back directly.
"Brother Yasuda, go back first!" The boy hurriedly said, "My friend has called me, I want to talk to him for a while before I go back to the restaurant." β
"Huh? It's ......" Yasuda scratched his hair and sighed.
"It's great, do children now have mobile phones to contact friends, I remember when I was a child, I used to go to the door to put a note in the mailbox to contact friends, and it took a long time to receive a reply every time. Then I'll go back to the restaurant first, and you have to come back quickly, or the food will be cold. β
"Uh-huh! I'll be going back soon! β
The boys before the meeting agreed to this, and the man did not suspect it, and walked directly in the direction of the restaurant.
After waiting for the other party to leave, Edogawa Conan ran to the corner of the corridor where there was no one and answered the phone, "Hey, Ashbara." β
On the other side of the phone, the girl's obviously emotionally unstable voice soon came, "You met Columbai?!" β
"No, no. You calm down. Knowing that the other party would be like this when he encountered something related to the organization, the boy quickly explained, "I just heard this name, so there are people in the organization with Columbeth as the code name, right?" β
β...... That's right. Gray Yuan sighed, and his tone softened a lot, "I'm telling you, if you meet that guy, it's better for you to stay away." β
"How much do you know about him?" Listening to the other party's words, the boy's brow furrowed a little tighter.
"I don't know much about him, it's just rumored that he's a very willful guy who does what he wants and does what he wants, and if he finds out who you are, he will definitely do it."
After saying this, Gray Yuan's voice lowered a little, "And... If I had to say, his parents and my parents used to be friends. β
"What?!" Conan Edogawa raised his voice, "Then you've seen him?" β
"No, I haven't met him. His parents had very little contact with my parents before they died, and I hadn't even been born when they died. I only learned from some researchers later that they happened to be about the same age, and they were both in the field of research, so they used to be friends. β
Saying this, the girl pursed her lips, "And... Columbeth hates researchers the most, and he won't come to me if he wants to. β
"Hate researchers...?" Hearing this, he subconsciously remembered Belmode.
"yes. His parents were mad scientists with a worse reputation than my father. It is said that they are extremely crazy about the research of their field
It's hot, even to ......." The tea-haired girl wrinkled, reached out and took a sip of the coffee in front of her.
"I don't hesitate to experiment with my own children."
Even Atsuji Miyano, a mad scientist, has nothing but love for his two daughters, so she can't imagine what kind of parents can tie their children to the operating table and wield a scalpel.
Edogawa Conan's eyes widened instantly, "Wait, it's too cruel to experiment with your own children, right?!" And he didn't just have ...... at the time."
The age is about the same, if before the death of Columbai's parents, Gray Yuan Wai was not born..... Then when they can do this thing of wielding a knife at their own child, Columbeth will definitely not be more than ten years old.
"Three years old." Interrupting the other party's unfinished words, Gray Yuan Wai put down the coffee cup and said in a low voice. οΌοΌοΌ.
