Chapter 1727: 1727【Put down the butcher knife】
"I used to think that if you love Naoko so much that you put her ahead of your blood-sucking careers, then I'll let you go. But now... huh."
Secretary Hanai threw the last wad of fake money on Takei Katsuhiko, then gritted his teeth, picked up the gasoline can, and poured gasoline on him: "Go to hell!"
Drenched Takei Katsuhiko with gasoline, she threw away the empty barrel and took out the lighter.
There was a sudden creak at the door, and the half-open door was pushed open.
Yoko Kinoshita hugged the camera, took a look inside and was stunned. She had never seen such a scene.
Jiang Xia pulled her out, walked past her to the warehouse.
Seeing this scene, he said: "Wait!"
Secretary Huajing was startled, and turned around quickly—unexpectedly, despite all precautions, this detective still found him. Was it the little boy who leaked the secret?
Before she had time to think about it, she held up the lighter as if to press it: "Don't come over!"
Jiang Xia smelled the gasoline smell in the air, and sighed: "Although I don't know why you want to kill him, but according to my experience, there should be a deep hatred between you? If I persuade you to stop now, you will give up killing him." ."
Secretary Hanai had never heard of such a sloppy way of persuasion, so she was taken aback.
Fortunately, the other party gave a question sentence, and it was just a simple multiple-choice question like "Will you give up killing people?" She subconsciously said: "Of course not, I must kill him!"
Jiang Xia hesitated to suggest: "Then why don't you do it later?"
Secretary Hanai: "?"
Jiang Xia: "Just now I saw a cat slipping into the warehouse through the window. You poured so much gasoline, and there are a lot of flammable materials here. Once it is ignited, the cat will probably be burned to death in the warehouse—revenge Revenge, do you want to become a cruel human who tortured and killed innocent Lumao for your own personal revenge?"
Secretary Huajing: "..." This is a critical moment for her to set her enemies on fire. How could this detective discuss the life and death of a cat at such a time?
...But, if you don’t know, forget it, now that Jiang Xia said, if this fire is really released, then she is really equivalent to intentionally burning an ordinary passing small animal.
In normal times, Secretary Hanai would never do such a thing.
But now, now she is taking revenge, isn't life important? that cat...
Suddenly, in the raging fire, the scene of a cat screaming in pain and being roasted into charcoal flashed through her mind.
Secretary Hanai was forced to realize that if she set the fire decisively now, then what she would do would be more than involving the cat. Objectively speaking, this would simply be a deliberate massacre.
Moral sense and murderous obsession were entangled in her mind, and she fell into a moment of confusion. But at this time, Secretary Hanai suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
She looked at Jiang Xia suddenly, with sharp eyes: "You are delaying time. Usually no one comes to this factory, and there is no food at all. How could there be cats here!"
Deep in the warehouse, Toru Amuro also frowned and thought: "..." Jiang Xia saw him sneak in? Should he imitate a meow in cooperation? But the cat's meow is so thin, it would be too embarrassing if it was found to be fake...
Wait, no, Jiang Xia didn't even hear the reason why this woman wanted to kill President Wuju, which means that he came much later than himself, and he probably didn't even know that there were talents hidden in the warehouse. Then why did Jiang Xia suddenly find such an excuse...
Toru Amuro's various suspicions diverged halfway, and then came to an abrupt end.
He lowered his head, looked at his feet silently, and realized that he seemed to be thinking too much—there was actually a cat squatting on the ground next to him.
The cat was obviously not there just now, and I don’t know when it slipped in. Maybe just now? And Jiang Xia happened to see this scene, so she used the cat as an excuse to persuade the kidnappers.
Toru Amuro: "..." Speaking of which, the color of this cat looks familiar. This guy seems to come to the detective agency frequently to eat and drink, and sometimes he would touch other cats secretly through the cage. The surveillance cameras he left in the office captured them all.
He looked down at the cat, and the cat looked up at him.
Looking at each other for a moment, the cat raised its head and let out a "meow" sound.
The sound echoed in the warehouse and spread far away, and everyone at the door heard it.
Secretary Hanai suspected that "the cat entered the warehouse" was just an excuse: "..."
Recalling what she said just now, she felt a little embarrassed. Coupled with the fact that Jiang Xia was wrongly blamed, the voice that was originally full of anger became a little guilty.
Holding up the lighter, Secretary Hanai hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Well, then you go in and bring the cat out...I'll only give you 5 minutes!"
"good."
Jiangxia has passed. Secretary Hanai seemed very wary of his approach, so he didn't go there, and planned to go to the warehouse first.
Looking at this scene, Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "..." Very well, Ms. Huajing couldn't bear to burn cats, and now that Jiang Xia is inside, if he stays in the warehouse and doesn't come out, Ms. Huajing won't even light the fire. Long enough for the police to surround the warehouse.
...Could this be Jiang Xia's rescue plan?
but…
Conan smelled the increasingly thick gasoline smell in the air, and suddenly became alert: the police have surrounded the factory and are gradually searching for it, and they will find it soon.
And when the police blocked the door, if Ms. Huajing was in a hurry and the lighter sparked... then it would not be a question of whether she wanted to, maybe Mr. Wuju, herself, and Jiang Xia would all be burned if they wanted to have a relationship with the cat. die!
Gotta figure out a way...
Conan remembered the way Secretary Huajing looked at him at Wuju’s house before, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and approached a little: "Sister Huajing, is it really meaningful to spend the rest of my life for him?
Mentioning this matter, Secretary Huajing became excited again in an instant: "Of course! This guy doesn't deserve to live in this world at all. Send him down, and my family will also die in peace."
Conan: "..." It turns out that Miss Huai's family was killed by Mr. Takeju?
He suddenly understood, found an entry point, and began to try to persuade: "Then do you want sister Naoko to suffer the same pain as you?"
Although her father is probably not the same as your father, but... "After all, Mr. Takeju is also Naoko's only relative. You should know the pain of losing a relative. And if your relative is still alive, you must I don't want you to do such a thing. Your younger brother will want you to live outside!"
Takei Katsuhiko clutched his swollen ankle, collapsed on the ground, and nodded frantically: He doesn't want to die!
Secretary Hanai didn't see his movements, she was staring at Conan blankly at this moment.
Knowing that this child might just want to stop a crime, not necessarily for her own good, but when she saw that face that resembled her younger brother, for a moment, she seemed to see that her dead brother was talking to herself.
