Unlike the worried Kudo and his wife, Kudo Shinichi is more open-minded.

Because bad luck is really bad luck, but what comes with this bad luck is the "detective's luck" in Kudo Shinichi's mouth.

The dead body was thrown in the broken manhole cover, and it was a homicide case.

The kidnapped person was locked up in the house of the person who broke the window with the football. The moment the football broke through the glass, the suspect interrupted the attack, and then the victim who was almost torn apart was rescued.

There were prohibited drugs in the car with the broken window. After investigation, a drug trafficking line was directly pulled out.

It was the cup of coffee that should have been added. Kudo Shinichi used this as a clue, and after a series of reasoning, he finally cracked a huge human trafficking case.

This year, Kudo Shinichi is 15 years old and in the third grade of middle school, but he has helped the Tokyo police solve many major cases. He is known as "Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei era". A rising star.

People often only focus on the brilliant achievements of Kudo Shinichi, but for her childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan, she pays more attention to the safety and health of Kudo Shinichi.

Of course, she supports Kudo Shinichi in his detective career and tries to save more people, but behind every successful case, Kudo Shinichi is more or less injured and injured. Once involved in various cases, I am afraid that once the injury is a little serious, I will never see the other party again.

You can't blame Mao Lilan for thinking too much, because twice, Kudo Shinichi really almost died in order to catch the prisoner.

This time, they came to Kyoto because a classmate Kazuo Ando who had a good relationship with them disappeared in Kyoto the day before yesterday.The Kyoto police didn't think that a 16-year-old middle school student who didn't contact his family and friends for two consecutive days could be classified as missing. They didn't care much about finding someone, but the Ando family was going crazy.

The people in their family seemed to know something. They said that Kazuo Ando was in danger and his life was dying, and asked the police to send more people to search for Kazuo Ando's whereabouts.

The relationship between Kudo Shinichi and Ando Kazuo is very good. Seeing that the Ando couple firmly believed that something happened to their son, Kudo Shinichi, who was also a little worried about his safety, simply rushed to Kyoto.

After browsing the photos Kazuo Ando posted on ins the day before yesterday, Shinichi Kudo basically delineated the places he visited the day before yesterday.

What made Kudo Shinichi a little concerned was the last photo Kazuo Ando posted on his ins. It was a portrait. I don't know what genre it was. The style of the painting was very weird and creepy.Kazuo Ando's brief introduction to the photo editor said he saw it at an art exhibition, and commented very rudely as disgusting.

When Kazuo Ando posted that ins, Kudo Shin took a look at it. In his heart, he felt that the evaluation was quite pertinent, because when he looked at the portrait, he didn’t see the slightest bit of beauty. Instead, it was weird and full of malice, but Ando If Kazuo made the same evaluation during the exhibition, it would definitely cause trouble.

Therefore, after coming to Kyoto, what Kudo Shinichi has been looking for is the gallery where the portrait is located.

The New World Gallery across the street is not well-known, its logo is not on the map, and it is still holding portrait exhibitions, so it may be it.

Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran put away the maps and photos, and when they were walking along the sidewalk to the opposite side of the street, Yokozato suddenly rushed out of a black car, driving at an ultra-high speed that is never allowed in the city center, at least two hundred yards, driving straight towards them.

When Kudo Shinichi and Mo Lilan noticed the car that seemed to be out of control, they were already unable to dodge.

Kudo Shin's eyes narrowed, and it was a subconscious reaction. He pushed Mao Lilan out forcefully, and he was completely exposed in front of the car.

"New One!"

Mao Lilan, who fell on the side of the road, didn't care to check herself, her eyes widened and she screamed.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, the out-of-control car slammed into the fire hydrant on the side of the street. The huge impact not only completely deflated the front of the car, but also caused the car to turn two and a half times in the air, and then the roof fell down. Crashed hard into a hapless izakaya.

On the street, screams from other pedestrians sounded slowly.Especially the people in the izakaya, who were almost scared to death by the front of the car.

"Huh...huh..." Kudo Shinichi's heart was pounding, the feeling of being swayed by the blade of death made his adrenaline soar.Even the first two serious injuries didn't feel clearer than the death brought by the crazy car this time.

If the car hadn't turned sideways suddenly, he would have been knocked out.

This made Kudo Shinichi's smart brain stop for a moment, and he just stood in the middle of the road so stupidly, until Mao Lilan rushed over, hugged Kudo Shinichi, and cried out in a crying voice: "Xinyi, You scared me to death!"

Kudo Shinichi woke up like a dream, he looked at Xiao Qingmei who was crying uncontrollably, raised his hand hesitantly, and patted Mao Lilan's back carefully.

"I'm fine, Xiaolan." After a pause, Kudo Shinichi said jokingly: "I'm sure, this time it must be a big case."

There was definitely something wrong with the crazy car that nearly hit him.

Then, Mao Lilan slapped him on the shoulder and said angrily: "You still say it!"

She was almost scared to death by this situation, Shinichi is still in the mood to joke, it's too disgusting.

"Okay, okay, I won't say." Kudo Shinichi quickly surrendered, and then said: "I'll go and see the situation."

Compared with the Shinsekai Gallery where Kazuo Ando is suspected to be missing, the problem with the crazy car is more clear, investigate the car first!

On the side of the street 200 meters away from the boys and girls, a white car started slowly.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko withdrew his gaze from that side, and said "tsk" in his heart, this troublesome person No. [-] actually has a girlfriend.

cut.

Speaking of which, this place is not far from the coffee shop where Zhongya Zhongya is, and he has been here, why not have a chance encounter?

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko who was very excited couldn't help picking up the phone, first to see what Chuya was doing, and then find a suitable excuse to create a chance encounter.

However, before Shibusawa Tatsuhiko poked open the "Notepad", the phone rang, and the name displayed on the caller ID was Chuya!

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was stunned for a moment, he quickly pressed the answer button, and said impatiently: "Chuya?"

There was an obvious sound of breathing coming from the other end of the phone, and after a pause, Zhong Yuanzhong's voice sounded a little dull and dry: "...it's me, Long Yan."

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko sat up straight, Nakahara Chuya's voice sounded suspicious, he quickly said, "What's the matter, Chuya, what happened?"

"Long Yan, is your interview over?"

"It's over." Shibusawa Tatsuhiko said without hesitation, "Don't worry, it went well, and the re-examination qualification must have been obtained."

Just ask the head of the personnel department acting as the interviewer if he dares to brush off the big boss!

"Ah, that's good, that's good..." Zhong Yuanzhong also said hesitantly, "Do you, do you know anyone in your family who knows the police, I... got into a little trouble here, it's not my problem, but You know."

It is inconvenient for him to contact official people.

"I understand." Shibusawa Ryuhiko said immediately, and asked knowingly, "Where are you?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also reported the address of the coffee shop.

The special assistant acting as the driver kicked the accelerator, and the car accelerated and rushed out.

"I'll be there soon. Don't worry, I'm here, Chuya."

***

To say how Zhongyuan Zhongye got into trouble with the police, the time needs to go back 10 minutes.

At ten o'clock in the morning, in the Umezono coffee shop, Nakahara Nakaya, who had made a simple disguise with a black wig and black color contact lenses, was sitting face to face with the editor Kusano of Bunpodo. Different versions.

Zhongyuan Zhong also felt a little excited.Although he has published many poems in magazines and newspapers, this is the first time for his personal collection of poems.Although I don't know how many copies can be sold, it is always a promising start.

Editor Kusano still said: "The senior management of the company attaches great importance to the "Mo Heiye" published by you this time, Mr. Kashiwamura, and is planning to re-release "Mo Heiye". There are five editions out of the cover design, illustration and layout design alone. , it is difficult to make a choice at the moment, so the editor-in-chief wants to ask the teacher to choose a version in person."

Editor Kusano's tone is very earnest, not only because Zhong Yuanzhong is also the most talented and famous poet under him, but also because the publishing house attaches great importance to the publication of "Mo Heino".If "Mo Heiye" can be sold well, as the editor of Mr. Baicun, he will also get a lot of bonuses.

When Zhong Yuan saw the five samples, he knew that the publishing house had put a lot of effort into it. Looking at the exquisite covers, distinctive illustrations and exquisite title pages, he also had a hard time making a choice.

For my first collection of works, I can't put too much effort into it.

Editor Kusano understood Nakahara Chuya's state of mind at this time very well, so he didn't urge him to drink his coffee and watched him choose the samples of those poetry collections.

However, the accident was so sudden.

Chuya Nakahara, who was flipping through the samples, looked up abruptly, and pulled the editor Kusano who was drinking coffee.

The poor editor Kusano immediately choked on the coffee, and drenched himself with the unfinished coffee.

"teacher?"

Editor Kusano looked bewildered. Before he could react to Nakahara Nakaya's inexplicable rude action, a person rushed over from behind him and grabbed Mr. Kusano's coffee which was still stained with coffee. coffee spoon, and—

He actually slit his throat with that coffee spoon!

The small coffee spoon is six inches long, ivory white, made of stainless steel, with the iconic three rivet curved handles and a bee badge, which is French Laguiole style at first glance.And such a small spoon has a blunt edge, making it easy to stir a coffee, but it takes a strongman to cut the flesh.

However, blood gushed out like a fountain, spraying editor Kusano's whole body after the coffee stains.

There were piercing screams in the cafe.

Editor Kusano's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't make a sound.

It turns out that when people are panicked to the extreme, even screaming with other people becomes a luxury.

"It's dead!!!"

"Help!"

"Calm down!"

"Everyone, please calm down. We have already called the police. Please don't move around until the police arrive!" The manager of the coffee shop had to stand up and try to maintain order.

In the confusion, Zhong Yuanzhong also let go of the hand holding Editor Kusano's wrist with some guilt.

In fact, with his supernatural ability, he could use gravity to avoid the mess that Editor Kusano was in when the blood was pouring over him, but he thought it would be hard to explain if he really did this, so Zhong Yuanzhong didn't do anything.

He looked solemnly at the waiter who had fallen to the ground and was bleeding all over the floor.Looking at the bloody and bloody throat, you can see how hard this person cut his throat with such a blunt coffee spoon, and how determined to commit suicide.

Zhongyuan Zhong didn't expect that the other party suddenly rushed over and wanted to commit suicide. He thought that this person suddenly went crazy and wanted to harm Editor Kusano, so he pulled Editor Kusano.

Unexpectedly, this person's goal was not Editor Kusano, but the coffee spoon that Editor Kusano had stirred coffee just now, or to use it to commit suicide.

There are various reasons why people want to commit suicide. Although Nakahara Chuya can’t empathize with their desire to die, he basically respects their determination—a certain one always commits suicide but always fails. It has been tossing for many years The mackerel who finally succeeded is not counted, because his suicide with various tricks has really caused a lot of troubles in the Central Plains.

But this person committed suicide with a coffee spoon, still in a coffee shop at this time...

Nakahara Nakaya subconsciously looked in the direction of the manager of the coffee shop. How could the manager expect such a disaster to be spread on the head of his own shop? In order to keep the scene, his face is pale at the moment, and it is foreseeable that the business of the coffee shop will be bleak in the next period of time.

"Kashiwa, Mr. Kashiwamura!" Editor Kusano, who finally recovered from his panic, grabbed the napkin on the table tremblingly, wiped the blood spattered on his face vigorously, and tried his best to go in the direction of Chuya Nakahara Leaning in, he stammered and said, "Thank you, Teacher Baicun, if it wasn't, if it wasn't..."

If it wasn't for Nakahara Chu, who was opposite him, also pulling him, editor Kusano had reason to suspect that the man who grabbed the coffee spoon and slit his throat might change someone else.

Who knew that such a dangerous guy turned out to be the waiter of Umezono Cafe, God Jesus Christ Amaterasu, he will never come to this cafe for coffee again!

Nakahara also shook his head slightly, but it was nothing more than a little effort, and editor Kusano was just unlucky enough to be robbed of a coffee spoon and used it as a suicide tool.

Suddenly, Zhongyuan Zhong also paused.

and many more!

The waiters who committed suicide in public snatched things from their table and used them as suicide props. After the police arrived, wouldn't their table become the focus of interrogation?

Even if it looks like a suicide, the police can't look at the scene, listen to the description of the witnesses, and then slap their heads and say it was a suicide.

Once the cross-examination begins...

Nakahara Zhong also silently raised his hand, curled the short black hair on his head with his fingertips, and then blinked his eyes lightly.

How likely are they to see that he has a wig on his head and colored lenses on his eyes?

No matter whether this case is defined as simple suicide or not, his witness testimony and identity information will be taken as evidence and entered into the police system together, right?

In case there is really something tricky behind this suicide, the police will definitely visit the door, right?

I can't keep my contact number, and I can't keep my home address!

In case another photo is left, although he has changed the color of his hair and eyes, but he does not know how to make up magic tricks, and his facial features are still the same, in case someone from the military research institute notices...he is not afraid of fighting , It's a pity that my life is fairly stable now and my career is about to start.

Although he was embarrassed to reveal his pseudonym Kashiwamura to Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, he still looks forward to the publication of his poetry collection.

Central Plains also fell into silence.

A few seconds later, he quietly took out his phone, hesitating again and again, he called Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.

All he could find was Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.

I don't know if he will hinder his interview.

As soon as the bell rang, the other side answered the phone.

Thankfully, the interview is over, and Shibusawa Tatsuhiko is rushing here, with a very positive attitude, and whispered to Nakahara Chuya that he doesn't mind if he finds an excuse to sneak into the Umezono Cafe, right?

What can Zhongyuan Zhong say?

"Take it easy." Zhong Yuan Zhong also instructed in a low voice.

"Don't worry." On the other end of the phone, where Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't see, the corners of Shibusawa Ryuhiko's lips were slightly raised, his face was full of excitement, but his voice remained calm, and said: " Let’s say it in advance, and Zhong is not allowed to get angry.”

"Angry?" Nakahara Chuya almost raised his eyebrows, what does Shibusawa Ryuhiko want to do?

Just as I was about to ask again, the phone on the other side hung up.

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

Suddenly he felt restless, as if calling Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was a mistake?

It should be, not so unreliable.

"Teacher Kashiwamura?" Nakahara Nakaya made a sneaky phone call, and the editor Kusano at the side saw it and carefully covered him.Regardless of why Teacher Baicun called at this time, he understood how ordinary people like them do not want to deal with official personnel like the police.Of course they are innocent, but they are always short of breath when facing the police.

Oh, he was still a little worried about himself, after all, he had just used the coffee spoon that the dead waiter used to commit suicide, and there must be his fingerprints on it.

"It's okay." Nakahara Zhong also wanted to scratch his head subconsciously, but he just raised his hand before remembering the wig he was wearing on his head, so he waved his palm around his ear and put it back on the table.

"Mr. Kusano." Chuya Nakahara said in a low voice, "Don't call me 'Kashiwamura' for a while, just call me 'Zhongyuan' or 'Chuya'."

While talking, he stuffed the five samples of poetry collections back into Mr. Kusano's briefcase.

Mr. Kusano was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said again and again: "I understand, Mr. Kashiwa, Mr. Zhongyuan."

Although Mr. Baicun never shows up and does not hold signing parties, he is also considered a public figure.In case Mr. Baicun is caught by the media and involved in such a case, although the publicity in Weird may play a role in promoting sales, Mr. Baicun obviously doesn't like this kind of alternative publicity.

He understands, he understands everything.

Just when Nakahara Chuya and Mr. Kusano reached an inexplicable consensus with completely different ideas, the police arrived.

No matter how many times people complain about the inaction of the government in their daily life, they still can't help being relieved when they see the police coming, and the uneasiness of being left here by the cafe owner and having to share a room with a dead body All dissipated a lot.

The police officers from the Kyoto Police Station who entered the coffee shop had a clear division of labor. One person went to check the surveillance cameras in the store, and the two were responsible for calming the emotions of the witnesses in the store and asking for details. The accompanying forensic doctor began to perform an autopsy on the corpse. Although the victim The person looks like a simple suicide, but the possibility of drug influence cannot be ruled out.

The situation was just as Chuya Nakahara expected. Although the guests and staff in the cafe were all witnesses to the suicide, they were very close to the scene of the crime. Zhongyuan Zhong, who was together, also became the key interrogation target of the police, and was called aside by two policemen to take notes.

Zhong Yuan was suffocated for a while, and it was okay to ask about the situation at the scene. When the police asked him his name, address, contact number, etc., would he tell the truth?The wig and colored contact lenses he wears may seem intimidating at first glance, but for someone like a police detective, if you take a closer look, you might be able to reveal your secrets.

Ahhh, why hasn't that guy Shibusawa Tatsuhiko come here yet!

Pretending to be frightened by the suicide scene of the waiter, Nakahara Chuya looked blank, tried to slow down his speech, and slowly recalled the previous scene to the police.As for Zhong Yuan Zhong, who has a lot of acting skills, he didn't even think about acting as a difficult character to fool the police on the opposite side. He just lowered his head and tried to be as reticent as possible.

"Mr. Zhongyuan."

Chuya Nakahara's narration was suddenly interrupted, and his heart tightened. Could it be that he discovered the wig and colored contact lenses he was wearing?

He tried his best to calmly look at the police officer on the opposite side, but saw the police officer with a polite smile on his face, and said slowly: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhongyuan, would you mind telling me why you are still wearing gloves in the coffee shop?" ?”

Gloves, in the scene of death, the props such as gloves have many functions, such as hiding fingerprints.

Nakahara Chuya: "...a habit?"

Conscience of heaven and earth, this is really a habit.

If the incantation in the instruction style is a physical seal on the "Huangba spit" in the body, then the glove is a layer of psychological seal that Zhongyuan Zhong also added to himself.

The habit brought by the previous life is still the same in this life. Except when taking a bath and sleeping to release "dirty", he basically never takes off his gloves.

Of course, Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't say that, but it was just a "habit", and the police officer on the other side obviously didn't believe it.

At this moment, a policeman's voice came from the door of the coffee shop: "Wait a minute, sir, the coffee shop is temporarily blocked by the police and no entry is allowed."

Immediately came a familiar voice but an unfamiliar tone and intonation.

"The police blocked it?!" The voice suddenly raised was full of disbelief, and the other party almost roared and shouted: "What happened here? I want to go in, you let me in, Chuya... Chuya is still here !"

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

Thanks to someone's loud and exaggerated voice, Zhongyuan Zhong also got stuck.Ignoring the police officer opposite, Zhong Yuan also turned his head abruptly.His eyes widened, and he looked at Shibusawa Tatsuhiko in front of the glass door of the coffee shop in shock.

Looking at each other, Zhong Yuan Zhong also watched the eyes of the white-haired boy outside the door suddenly light up, and excitedly pushed away the police officer guarding the door, and then rushed in.

"Zhongye!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also felt suffocated again.
