Jiang Xia thought about Belmode who had just been gutted, and was not in a hurry to find her gloves. She decided to wait a few days for her murderous aura to grow back before asking for them.
His attention quickly shifted elsewhere.
——Kojima Genta suddenly tiptoed in front of him and looked at him evasively, not daring to look directly.
The other two children were still looking at the Gomera wreckage standing aside with tears in their eyes. Conan was confirming some details of the reasoning with Hidehao Matsui. Toru Amuro had already gotten into the police car and seemed ready to write down the transcript.
There was no one else around for a while.
Jiang Xia lowered his head and looked at Moto Kojima.
He thought the child was a little afraid of him, but he didn't expect Yuantai to suddenly become so brave. If something went wrong, he would definitely have murderous intent...
Jiang Xia asked slightly curiously: "What's wrong?"
Yuantai took a deep breath, suddenly clapped his hands, bowed to Jiang Xia and said, "I have already gone out to play with you, please let me go!"
Jiang Xia: "...?"
Has he done anything to this rice-ball-headed kid?...Although he did fantasize about some efficient ways to utilize the Young Detective Team, he probably never put it into practice in the end.
…Could it be that one day when he was sleepwalking, he ran away to Motota Kojima’s house?
No, he wouldn't sleepwalk. If he really did, the ghosts would tell him... Jiang Xia thought about it and glanced at his ghosts a little guiltily, trying to confirm.
Then I got the feedback I wanted - he did not have the habit of sleepwalking. He had been staying quietly in bed at night for the past two weeks and had never gone out to look for innocent children.
Jiang Xia suddenly became calm and asked Kojima Genta: "Why did you say that suddenly?"
Kojima Mota looked at him timidly and found that Jiang Xia was indeed confused, so he also became confused.
He scratched the back of his head and whispered hesitantly: "When I passed the bridge a few days ago, I heard strange footsteps following me behind me. I was even pushed when I got off the overpass..."
Speaking of which, Moto Kojima realized something was wrong after a few days.
...If brother Jiang Xia wants to hit him, it doesn’t seem like he needs to go to so much trouble?
Jiang Xia glanced at Yuantai's naive face.
In fact, when he heard Yuantai say that he was being followed, Jiang Xia realized that this simple and lovely primary school student might have caused another case for him.
Because there is a similar memory in Jiang Xia's spoiler library - he remembers that once, when Moto Kojima was getting a haircut in a hair salon drowsily, there was a wanted criminal sitting next door.
A few days later, Yuantai saw the wanted poster, recognized the man, and wanted to call the police, but he couldn't remember where he saw him.
Not long after, another case occurred near Yuantai's house. When he went to watch, he saw a yellow-haired man in the crowd.
Yuantai vaguely remembered that when he saw the wanted criminal, Huang Mao was also sitting next to him. Therefore, he felt that Huang Mao's brother must have seen the wanted criminal, so he grabbed Huang Mao and wanted to provide information to the police with him.
However, Huang Mao is actually the prisoner on the wanted warrant.
He went to the barber shop that day just to change his look.
After being recognized by Yuantai, Huang Mao's wanted criminal made excuses to fool the police and left in a hurry.
After that, he began to look for opportunities to cause accidents and wanted to kill Genta Kojima.
Jiang Xia was thinking about it when the mermaid who was most sensitive to murderous aura suddenly pulled him and pointed in the distance.
...with murderous intent?
Jiang Xia turned his face slightly, looked over with his peripheral vision, and vaguely caught a glimpse of a man with murderous intent in the shade of a tree across the street.
The man's movements were sneaky, and his yellow hair was shining brightly in the sun. I don't know if he has been following Genta Kojima, or if he passed by here on the way and was attracted by the police car, and then saw Genta.
In short, although the murderous aura in this person is of average quality, the murderous aura that can be picked up casually on the way to get off work is not in vain...
Thinking of this, the focus of Jiang Xia's eyes fell back on Moto Kojima: "Go back, don't worry about this anymore."
"..." Moto Kojima hesitated to speak.
In fact, until now, he still hasn't figured out whether it was Jiang Xia who was following him.
But Jiang Xia had said so, and Yuantai didn't dare to ask. In the end, he just nodded timidly and walked home with Mitsuhiko and Ayumi.
