Chapter 10: Sharp Detective Intuition
Driving all the way to the life insurance store in Mihuacho 3-chome, risking a series of fines issued by the traffic police, Xinfan finally controlled the time at 8:52.
The area around the store seemed to be very quiet, and Conan almost thought they were late.
"It's okay, it's Yutaka Abe's car, I remember the license plate." Conan breathed a sigh of relief, and felt strange, "It seems that he will take a while to complete the process. The staff here are too slow Is it... wait, no!"
Xinfan loosened his seat belt, took out a pack of cigarettes from the storage box of the car, pulled out one, and lit it with the cigarette lighter.
The smoke rose in the still air and lingered around his cheeks, setting him off like a character in an ukiyo-e.
Conan was stunned by the leisurely state of someone Xianyu (crossed out), and he was stunned for a long time before saying: "The nine o'clock we speculated before was based on the fact that Abe chose the store near the police station. But since he finally came here side, then the time spent on the road must be greater than the previous speculation.
"You already knew that it would be at least ten past nine o'clock for him to complete all the procedures, but you still followed my train of thought and said it was nine o'clock, and you drove the car like that...
"You really did it on purpose?!"
Xin Fan took a deep breath with a cigarette in his mouth, and leaned on the car seat leisurely.
After a while, he turned his head slowly and looked at the depressed Conan kid in the co-pilot seat.
Xinfan thought for a while, and then showed a suspicious look: "I'm sorry I'm too long away from elementary school, but...are all elementary school students as smart as you?"
"Uh..." Conan began to play dumb like a conditioned reflex, "Huh? No, I usually like to watch Sherlock Holmes! Hehe, I always imagine myself as a famous detective in novels!
"But... Brother Asano is better. I guessed the location wrong before. Brother Asano is the real detective."
"Really?" Xin Fan frowned, but followed Conan's words and withdrew his thoughts of inquiry.
After all, teasing Conan is a matter of gradual progress.
Otherwise, if you push someone into a hurry and directly expose yourself, it would be very boring. It would be missing a lot of the fun that Conan can bring.
In Conan's pretense of being tender and cute, Abe's figure appeared at the door of life insurance.
Judging from his expression, it was obvious that his application had been approved, and he would be able to get a bond of 500 million yen in a few days.
"It's time for you to go." Xin Fan hid his figure in the shadow, unable to see his expression, "By the way, do you still remember his technique?"
They had already called the police on the way here, and as long as they got the audio of Abe Feng confessing his crime, they could send him to the police station immediately.
Conan couldn't wait to make his own reasoning in front of the prisoner, but when he saw Xinfan, he thought of the situation where he was suspected, so he had to pretend not to be confident.
He said timidly: "I don't know if I can explain clearly, why don't brother Asano remind me again."
Xinfan sneered in his heart, but on the surface he encouraged like a big brother next door: "Don't be nervous, you can do well, little detective."
Conan has been paying attention to his expression. Although he can't see any obvious changes, he is secretly relieved to hear Xinfan say this.
Being able to say such a thing, he should no longer doubt it...
Conan jumped out of the car softly, hid in a corner of the parking lot, and called Abe Feng: "The plan is very good, uncle."
In Shinshige's line of sight, Abe Yutaka paused first, and then looked around.
"Actually, Masaki Negishi died on Friday night, right?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Abe Feng's complexion changed drastically, and he subconsciously took half a step back.
Conan's voice continued: "That's right, you killed him the day before you set off for the trip. But the next day, you invited someone who looked like Masaki Negishi to dress up like him, Let Maori detectives follow. This will mislead the police and make people wrongly judge the time of Masaki Negishi's death."
Abe frantically looked for the source of the sound, and even passed by Nobushige's car.
Xin Fan had already turned off the headlights. He has undergone systematic tracking and anti-tracking teaching, and he can reduce his sense of existence very well. But this is also the reason why Abe has already panicked, otherwise, as long as you calm down and look carefully, it is not difficult to find someone in the car.
"You calculated everything so that his body would be discovered on Sunday night, that is, during the fire sacrifice ceremony on November 10th. At this time, his body would have been scorched by the fire, and it is impossible to calculate the time of death.
"And then on Monday, you go back to Tokyo like nothing happened. The alibi is established."
Abe Feng finally found Conan in the dead of night in the parking lot, who had not changed his position from the beginning.
He and Conan looked at each other, one was relieved, and the other was confident that he was determined to win.
"Well, am I right?"
From Xinfan's position, he couldn't see Conan's expression clearly, but just by hearing the tone, he could guess how proud Conan was now. This is probably the sense of accomplishment that the detective finally sees through all the truth and lifts off the mask that the murderer carefully covered the truth.
It's just this kind of attitude... Has Conan forgotten that he is now a helpless little kid? ?
Conan didn't realize it yet: "You can fool Mr. Maori for a while, but you can't fool the photo. The police are nearby, why don't you turn yourself in, uncle?"
However, after hearing these reasonings, the murderer didn't kneel down and cry and repent, as Conan had guessed. On the contrary, he even laughed softly.
"It's amazing, little brother, you're right." Abe Feng squatted down and rubbed Conan's head, "Yes, I was the one who killed Negishi Masaki. But I will not surrender .After all... who would trust a child?"
"But I have a recording." Conan proudly took out the tape recorder from his pocket, and replayed the audio that Abe himself admitted just now, "This is enough evidence...!!!"
Before Conan could finish his proud words, Yutaka Abe suddenly grabbed his throat and threw him to the ground.
Abe's face was full of madness, and he shouted: "Damn it! You little devil!! How can you understand the pain of a company that is about to go bankrupt? It's all because of Masaki Negishi! It's him How naive!! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!!"
Toyo Abe tightly strangled Conan's throat with one hand, clenched his other hand into a fist, and slammed down on Conan!
hateful! !
Conan struggled desperately, but the difference in size between a child and an adult made his movements almost negligible.
Could it be... Could it be that the Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei era is about to be lost here?
"Go to hell—" Abe yelled, his fist already touching Conan's skin.
"boom--"
A fist appeared in his abdomen faster than Abe Feng, and the next moment, he felt a huge force and pain from his stomach. Immediately, the whole person flew out like a meteor and smashed into the parking space next to him.
"Brother Asano!" Conan sat up with difficulty, and there were still bruises on his neck. However, his attention is not on himself at all now, his mouth is open enough to hold an apple.
Xin Fan withdrew his fist as usual, and even wiped Conan's body pretentiously.
Hearing Conan's voice, Xin Fan glanced back at him and said, "In the future, you must know how to use your own advantages. For example, you can get under the car to record, and he will definitely not hurt you."
Conan: "..."
Just, too much! !
"But thanks to Brother Asano's keen detective instincts, I guessed that he would attack me." Conan was still a little scared when he thought about it, "Brother Asano is a good person!"
Xinfan, who was issued a good person card out of nowhere, smiled sincerely: "Actually, after I saw Abe's plan just now, my first reaction was to trouble him to eliminate harm for the people."
"ah?"
