Chapter 224: Truck Crashes into Coffee Shop
Chapter 224: Truck Crashes into Coffee Shop
A week has passed since the incident at Beihu Hotel.
After returning, Bai Masong also solemnly warned Conan.
Tell him that if you dare to act like a reckless man again, he will break your legs.
Conan also nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.
In fact, when Haibara Ai disappeared, Conan felt very guilty, but he didn't dare to cause more trouble at that time.
So, afterwards Conan also promised Hakuba Song that he would never do it again.
Well, Bai Masong said he could listen for now.
However, it is difficult to change one's nature, and Conan's temperament will probably need to be tempered by the organization in the future.
After that week, the peaceful times returned to normal.
It seems that Bai Masong and others have experienced many cases before, so no homicides have occurred in more than a week.
Perhaps, the God of Conan's world also knows to give people a break.
Today, Bai Masong came to work at the Metropolitan Police Department as usual.
They say they are at work, but in fact, when there are no cases, they are just slacking off.
"Yeah, I get it,"
Bai Masong held the phone and said to the other end,
"I can pick you up when I get off work."
With that said, he hung up the phone.
"what happened?"
Miwako Sato asked Hakuba Matsu on the side.
"It's Xiao Ai,"
Bai Masong explained,
"She will be with Professor Agasa and the kids later. They are going to have some snacks first. Could I pick her up after get off work?"
"Oh okay."
Sato Miwako nodded.
"Then let's go together later."
"Ah."
Bai Ma Song said.
Ever since the last case, for some reason, Haibara Ai suddenly said that she wanted to come to Hakubamatsu and live with them.
The reason is that this place is closer to Teitan Elementary School.
Bai Masong thought about it and it was true. From their home, it was relatively close to Ekoda High School in Bai Ma Tan, but it was a little far to Teitan Elementary School here.
After Hakubamatsu discussed it with Sato Miwako and they both agreed, Haibara Ai moved in.
In order to facilitate pick-up and drop-off, Bai Masong specially changed to a Lexus LX.
It’s not that the previous car was bad, it’s just that it was a two-seater, and for the three of them, even though Haibara Ai was a child, it was indeed not very convenient.
This time, it was actually Haibara Ai who called and told Hakuba Matsu that the place where they would pick her up later was changed to a cafe.
but......
Bai Ma Song thought of something again, and said quietly,
“But maybe we should be prepared for a case to happen.”
"Ah?"
Sato Miwako was a little confused.
"why?"
"Haha, just kidding."
Baimasong smiled and said nothing.
Actually, it’s not really a joke.
The Junior Detective Team and Professor Agasa made an appointment to go out for a meal together.
Well, the buff is already fully stacked.
Maybe this is another episode in the original plot.
After resting for more than a week, is God trying to make him busy again?
An hour and a half later, Inspector Megure came out just as Hakuba Matsu had expected.
"All three departments are involved. There is another case now. It happened in a coffee shop. Everyone, come with me to the scene."
................................
Twenty minutes later, Inspector Megure brought Hakubamatsu and others to a cafe with "Peach Sunday" written outside.
There is no need to enter the cafe to see the crime scene this time, as it can be seen clearly from outside.
I saw a courier vehicle that had already rushed deep into the coffee shop, with half of its body sunk inside.
Once you walk inside, you can vaguely see a man's arm among the ruins of the car and the cafe booth.
Judging from this tragic situation, the man is most likely dead and there is no need to call an ambulance.
As soon as she arrived here, Sato Miwako complained to Bai Ma Song in silence,
"You're right, you're such a bad-mouthed person. We're about to get off work."
"Haha, what is coming will eventually come"
Bai Ma Song smiled.
After entering the cafe, I saw a few familiar people.
"elder brother."
Haibara Ai came up first and said hello.
"Ah."
Bai Masong also nodded at her.
Officer Megure gave instructions to his men.
"Brother Shiratori, take Gao Mu and Qian Ye to find the source of this express truck and see how it came down. Was it man-made or an accident?"
"Brother Bai Ma, just stay with me in the cafe and get some information about this place."
"Yes."
Shiratori Renzaburo and Takagi Wataru agreed and walked outside.
After Inspector Megure finished assigning the tasks, Hakuba Song asked the people in the cafe,
"Now, who can tell me the identity of this deceased person?"
Now, only the manager, a maid, a tall and thin middle-aged man who looks to be around fifty years old, Haibara Ai, Conan, a few other children and Professor Agasa are left in the cafe.
Among these people, there were only three that Bai Masong didn't know, so Bai Masong's attention was basically focused on the store manager, the maid, and the middle-aged man.
"Well, let me tell you about that."
The tall and thin man said with a sad face,
"The person who unfortunately met with the accident was my subordinate, Toru Aida. My name is Kazuo Ohara, and I am the president of Ohara Planning. Aida is also my most proud subordinate."
"He is my right-hand man. Without him, our plans for this period will be in trouble."
All I heard was Kazuo Ohara saying this.
Bai Masong nodded slightly, and then asked the store manager and the maid,
"Don't you know the deceased Mr. Toru Aida?"
"do not know."
The two answered in unison.
Okay, that's it, the murderer has been identified.
Bai Masong quickly came to a conclusion in his mind.
According to the laws of science, there is only one person at the scene who is related to the deceased, and it is Conan's original plot case, so he is most likely the murderer.
So, obviously, this is a typical proof question.
Just as Baimasong had made up his mind about the follow-up, Sato Miwako also felt something and glanced at Baimasong inconspicuously.
Bai Masong nodded slightly at him and gave her an affirmative look, meaning that it is just what you think.
Sato Miwako also understood. Sure enough, the proof question came.
However, although he knows that this is a proof question, what method does he use?
Just as Bai Masong was thinking this, Conan suddenly pulled Bai Masong's trouser leg.
Ok?
Bai Masong looked down and saw Conan making lip movements, meaning that he wanted to tell him something.
