Humanoid self-propelled wishing machine

Chapter 73

Conan turned his head almost reflexively, subconsciously, and was attracted by the horrified scream.

When he realized it was wrong and turned around to chase after him, on the street outside the entire glass wall, the ghost in the long windbreaker had already mixed into the dense crowd of pedestrians who were hurrying and walking non-stop. It was as silent as smoke, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

However, the guests and staff in the cat cafe were all attracted by the sudden murder case, and became agitated in a panic. Whispering whispers like flies buzzed around the closed space, pulling the coffee shop inside. The anxious and tense mood made people more and more uneasy.

"Dead?!"

"Who is dead? No way?"

"It seems to be coming from the back kitchen."

"Then there is no way to leave now, I still have things to do in the afternoon!"

"Has anyone called the police?"

"Has anyone seen who the murderer is?"

"It's terrible, is the murderer still at the scene?"

"Who killed someone? There are so many pairs of eyes here, so no one noticed?"

In the cafe where the homicide attracted all the attention, no one noticed Reo Tsushima's disappearance at all.

Conan gritted his teeth, and said to Hui Yuanai decisively, "Hui Yuan, you stay here and call the police first, and I will go after the person who took the child away."

Hui Yuanai lowered his head and did not reply.

Conan only thought that she was acquiescing, so he turned his head and prepared to chase.

But there was a huge pulling force from his sleeve, which almost made him stagger.

It's Haibara Ai.

She spoke with a weak and difficult voice, "...don't go."

Only then did Conan realize that Hui Yuan Ai's body was trembling almost invisible, her face was frighteningly pale, and her expression was as nervous as a frightened bird, "That's their man, he is a member of the black organization , if you catch up, you will definitely be killed!"

"That's a person from the Black Organization?!" Edogawa Conan did not question Haibara Ai's intuition, and believed her words. Based on this fact, he filled in the last piece of the puzzle that he doubted.

His childish face showed a dignified expression that didn't match his age, "That means that child is indeed in danger."

Edogawa Conan believed in Haibara Ai's judgment, but he didn't intend to really stop chasing and asking questions as she said, and stayed where he was for safety.

"Sorry, Haibara." Conan Edogawa pulled away Haibara Ai's hand that was holding onto his sleeve, "That child is still in danger, if you don't go, it will be too late!"

"Moreover, this is also an excellent opportunity for us to find out the true identity of the black organization, and I will never miss it," Conan finally told her, "I will leave this to you, call Police Officer Megure, and take care of it." At the scene, if you can, wait for me to come back!"

Edogawa Conan used his short, inconspicuous child body to sneak out of the cat cafe before the police arrived.

Haibara Ai watched Edogawa Conan run away. She stood there silently for a long time before recovering from the uncontrollable trembling and fear, gritted her teeth and cursed, "Fool!"

But no matter how annoyed, Hui Yuan Ai can only do as Conan ordered, helping the staff in the Cat Cafe to organize the customers in the store, let them stay calm, wait for the police to arrive, and then wait for the police to arrive. Warned the boys of the Detective Boys not to run around, and led them to a corner to sit down.

She is not like that big detective who loves to grab the police job and likes to show off. She can relax and wait for the matter to be resolved and leave, just wait, not to mention the appearance of the person from the black organization just now, which made her a little nervous Uneasy, it is difficult to calm down as usual, and there is always a fear that the black organization is watching her every move not far from her.

Hui Yuan Ai was nervously and subconsciously looking at the surrounding environment, and suddenly his expression became concentrated, and he noticed the bright yellow camera that was placed on the table and was not taken away by the kidnappers.

Probably because the shape looks too much like a toy, so it was accidentally omitted.

Haibara thought for a while, took a sticky note and a pen from the cashier of the cat cafe, and wrote a message to the person behind the camera who was controlling the camera stroke by stroke.

[This child was taken away by a stranger, if you see it, go find it as soon as possible. ]

She put the post-it note in front of the camera, ensuring that the person would know the news even if he wasn't staring at the screen all the time.

Hui Yuan Ai is not a good person, she can even be said to be a little indifferent, and she doesn't care about other people's affairs, but even so, it's just a small effort to remind the unlucky guy whose child was stolen. And don't mind spending a little time on it.

I hope Conan Edogawa and that child are safe.

Thinking of this, she returned to her seat again.

.

On the other hand, Conan Edogawa did not go well.

When he came out, he was already a step late, and the streets of Tokyo Commercial Street were always full of people coming and going, so it was hard to find the one who was holding a child in the crowd.

But luckily, when he came out, he happened to meet a couple shooting and recording the video. He "borrowed" the video camera from them almost like a robbery, and quickly flipped through the video. In the video, he found that After wearing the long windbreaker for a few seconds after leaving the country, and confirming that he turned into the alley as soon as he left the store, Conan Edogawa breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you!"

He thanked him loudly, put aside the angrily shouting and cursing of the couple, and strode on the short legs of a child to chase in the direction indicated in the video.

At this time, he began to miss the long legs he had when he was a high school student. By the way, he regretted why he didn't bring the skateboard improved by Dr. Ali when he went out today.

There are not many people coming in the winding, narrow and dark alley with complicated routes. On the contrary, if someone passes by, the traces left will be more obvious. This is why Edogawa Conan noticed the whereabouts of the kidnappers. The reason for the relief.

Edogawa Conan spent time investigating the fresh footprints left on the wet road in the alley, and followed this clue a little bit after that. After walking around the path for nearly 10 minutes, he caught a glimpse of it at a corner. That slender, ghostly long windbreaker.

Conan Edogawa, who had almost stepped out, dodged, hid himself behind the corner, poked his head out a little, carefully watched the kidnapper who was still hurrying forward, not knowing where he was going.

He has already opened the watch cover on his wrist with a click, and the anesthesia needle hidden inside is ready, just wait for a chance.

Edogawa Conan followed the kidnapper intently, watching his back all the time, but gradually realized something was wrong.

It's not the kidnapper's fault, but the kidnapped child's fault.

In the process of cunningly and cautiously turning around in the alley, the kidnapper seemed to dislike the baseball cap worn by Reo Tsushima on his shoulder, and casually took off the baseball cap on his head on the way Throwing it away, at this time, Tsushima Reo's long crow-black hair slipped like water, she didn't raise her head, her head was hanging down as if she was still unconscious, leaning on the kidnapper's shoulder.

But Conan, who was watching from behind, found that Reo Tsushima seemed to have woken up.

Although he didn't struggle quietly, his arms slowly wrapped around the kidnapper's neck to borrow strength, and his thin white legs dangling in the air would occasionally knock into the alley under the rough movements of the kidnapper. When touching the rough wall inside, consciously retract a little, so as not to hurt yourself.

Conan felt a little nervous, and praised the child's wit in pretending to be unconscious, and hoped that he would keep it like this so that the kidnappers would not notice.

But it's a little weird.

I don't know if it's because of the dark light in the alley, or because the child was frightened, Conan always felt that Reo Tsushima seemed to be much paler than when he saw it in the store.

Not only that.

Although it was October, the weather had already entered autumn, and now it was in a dark and damp alley, but the temperature was not enough to make him feel a little chilly.

Conan rubbed his arms, feeling a bad premonition spreading in his heart.

The kidnapper in front walked another corner, and his figure disappeared from Conan's sight. He didn't have time to think about it, so he stepped lightly and followed up.

But this time, when he poked his head out to observe the kidnapper again, he suddenly found that the child who had been carried away raised his head at some point and was grinning at him.

That was not the face of a normal child.

Conan felt his teeth go cold uncontrollably.

Eerie, scary, deadly.

The facial features are all black holes, the skin is pale and dull like a corpse, and the whole body exudes a ghostly cold aura, lying on the body of the person who kidnapped him like a ghost boy who came out of a thriller, facing him Laughed silently.

Conan uncontrollably felt his breathing quickened, his heart beat faster, his fingertips trembled, and his back was soaked in cold sweat, which was a sign of rising adrenaline.

He couldn't keep calm in front of such a supernatural phenomenon.

But when he blinked in horror, and observed carefully again, he found that Reo Tsushima was still as gentle as before, as if that terrifying grimace had never appeared before.

Conan knew nothing about the conversation between Reyo Tsushima and Erina, nor did he know that Reyo Tsushima's body had changed a soul at that moment just now.

.

Reo Tsushima was awakened in a daze by Erina in a jolt.

[Brother, are you awake? ]

Erina's sharp and trembling fuzzy voice sounded very cute to Reo Tsushima, she was begging for praise like a baby, [Brother wants to praise, Erina... I'm very hungry, but, bear with it. ]

[Erina is the most obedient. ] Reio Tsushima, who patiently listened to Erina's intermittent words, praised gently, earnestly, and without hesitation, [You are smart and sensible, and you know how to wake up your brother, so you didn't cause trouble for Brother Xiuzhi. ]

[Erina is a good boy. ]

Reo Tsushima gave Erina her favorite compliment.

Erina, who was praised by her brother, was very happy, and kept repeating the same sentence in Reyo Tsushima's head over and over again, [Erina is a good boy, Erina is a good boy...Erina is a good boy! ]

Reo Tsushima indulged Erina's excited noise, and once again said to Erina seriously, [Well, Erina is a good boy. ]

[I have to be obedient, I have to listen to my brother. ]

That's how he muttered to himself.

.

"--uncle."

After Tsushima Reo took over the body, he slowly raised his head from the kidnapper's shoulder, and he called the kidnapper softly, which caught his attention.

The kidnapper turned his head to see Tsushima Reo's sober look, frowned and muttered.

"Why did the medicine lose its effect so quickly? Could it be that I got a failed product?"

Obviously, he didn't pay attention to a child at all, put his hand into his pocket, and gave Tsushima Reo another drug.

But his body froze suddenly, and he didn't dare to move his hands that had already been in his pockets.

On the chest where he and Reo Tsushima were close to each other and no one else could notice, he felt the cold metal against the position of his heart, firmly and unwaveringly.

Cold sweat slowly dripped from the kidnapper's forehead.

And Reo Tsushima deftly took out the silver-white gun that was given to him by his brother from the crossbody bag, which was shining with metallic luster, and quietly pressed the dangerous weapon against the kidnapper's chest, and showed him nothing at all. Haze's bright smile came.

"Brother told me to stay where I am and not move."

He used a sweet tone like a baby, and complained a little aggrieved.
