Chapter 456: The Shadow of Mizunashi Rena

Chapter 456: The Shadow of Mizunashi Rena

Several people turned around in surprise and found a man in his thirties and a little boy standing at the door of the office.

The person who just spoke was obviously the little boy.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, the little boy quickly added: "I saw it with my own eyes. That brother was thrown off the bridge!"

What happened is simple.

The little boy's name was Zhuya Qiao. When he saw the CD advertisement of Gengenzaka Hengluo on TV, he suddenly shouted that his brother had been killed.

The middle-aged man, Mr. Zhu Gu, the little boy's father, did not take it too seriously at first and thought it was just a child's prank. However, he suddenly heard the news that the singer was going to take a break recently and felt that the matter was a bit strange and coincidental.

However, there was no way to call the police in this situation where there was no evidence and only the child's one-sided statement, so he thought of discussing the matter with the famous detective Kogoro Mouri.

"I was planning to call first and then come visit, but for some reason the call got disconnected, so I had to come directly."

Hondou Eisuke looked away guiltily. There was no doubt that the hung up call was his masterpiece.

Kogoro Mori laughed awkwardly a few times and glared at Hondou Eisuke fiercely.

Yuya winked at Conan. When it comes to communicating with children, Conan's appearance is much more useful.

Conan nodded, walked to Zhugu Qiao, and asked in a friendly tone: "Brother Qiao, do you remember when and on which bridge you saw it?"

Seeing that it was Conan who asked him, Zhugu Qiao's nervousness really subsided a lot. He thought for a long time before saying: "I saw it not long ago, but I don't remember where...ah, but I remember there was the sound of fireworks at that time!"

It is normal for children to have vague memories of things and not be able to tell the specific time and place. Fortunately, he provided a very useful clue.

Youye stroked his chin and said, "There are strict regulations on setting off fireworks in the city. They can only be set off at specific times and places. Xiaoqiao said it was not long ago, so I guess it should be during the Chinese New Year, right?"

Wait, why did I mention Chinese New Year? Youye was stunned. When did we celebrate Chinese New Year? Why didn't he remember?

He looked at Mr. Zhugu: "Mr. Zhugu, do you know where Xiaoqiao was at that time?"

Mr. Zhugu looked at Maori Xiaowu hesitantly, then looked at Yuya: "Um, may I ask who you are..."

Yuya coughed lightly and said with a smile: "My name is Kamiya Yuya..."

"Oh!" Mr. Hashiratani suddenly shouted, "You are the famous high school detective, Kamiya Yuya? No wonder you look so familiar to me!"

Kogoro Mori clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, feeling that his limelight had been stolen.

Fortunately, in the eyes of Kogoro Mori, Yuya's image is much better than Kudo Shinichi's, so he didn't say much.

If Kudo Shinichi was here, he would definitely be kicked out by him.

Yuya smiled politely: "Let's get down to business."

Mr. Zhugu also realized that he had overreacted, and pretended to cough and said, "It should be a place he passed by on the way to the New Year's Shrine in my car at that time, right?"

"But the traffic was so congested at the time, and I was so sleepy that I kept dozing off. I really can't remember which bridge I was passing when the fireworks were set off..."

Mr. Zhu Gu lowered his head with some guilt.

Youya sighed and looked at Zhugu Qiao. It seemed that now he could only place his hope on this child.

He smiled and asked in the softest tone possible: "Little brother, can you tell me in detail what you saw?"

Perhaps it was Yuya's gentleness that made Zhugu Qiao feel at ease. He nodded and recalled carefully, then narrated: "At that time, I saw a man standing by the bridge with a large bag at his feet. Then he suddenly lifted the bag and threw it off the bridge."

Hondou Eisuke asked in confusion: "You mean the brother is in the bag? But how did you know?"

Zhu Guqiao suddenly showed a horrified expression: "I saw it! When the bag was about to be thrown down, the bloody head of Brother Saw appeared!"

"Brother Saw?" Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked at Saka Heng Locke on the CD cover and suddenly fell silent.

This person's hairstyle is indeed like a saw, a bit unique.

Maori Kogoro snorted and pouted, "How is it possible? If you run around with something like that, how could others not notice it?"

Zhu Guqiao shouted anxiously, "I really saw it! It was dark at that time, and I couldn't see it if I didn't look carefully."

Maori Kogoro rolled his eyes and said, "You mean, in the dark, no one else noticed it, but you were the only one who saw it?"

Zhu Guqiao was a little unhappy: "But I really saw it!"

Kogoro Mouri wanted to say something, but Yuya raised his hand to stop him.

Youya looked at Zhugu Qiao's tightly clenched little fist, his body still trembling a little, sighed, stretched out his hand and opened it in front of him: "Little brother, do you see what I have in my hand?"

Zhu Guqiao took a closer look and shook his head, "No!"

"Really?" Youye smiled slightly, "Then take a closer look?"

After saying that, he snapped his fingers and then spread his hands again.

"Wow!" Zhugu Qiao shouted in surprise. A piece of chocolate appeared in Youya's empty hand without her noticing.

"Here you go." Yuya said.

"Thank you!" Zhu Guqiao happily took it, peeled off the wrapper and put the chocolate into his mouth. His eyes narrowed immediately because of the sweetness. "So sweet~"

The others looked at him sideways. When did Yuya learn magic? He was really good at coaxing children!

Youye touched Zhugu Qiao's head and asked, "Little brother, after that person threw the bag down, did he do anything else?"

Zhu Gu Qiao licked the chocolate in his mouth and said, "Yes, that person also took out a lot of things and threw them down, but I didn't see them because they were covered by his body."

"Then he was rummaging around in his pockets, looking for something."

"Feeling around in clothes?"

Conan glanced at Maori Kogoro and suddenly asked, "Is that person holding something in his mouth?"

Zhu Guqiao suddenly realized: "Yes, there is!"

Hondou Eisuke guessed the answer immediately: "I see, that's a cigarette in his mouth, right? Does that mean he's looking for a lighter?"

Conan quickly continued to ask: "So did that person find the lighter?"

Zhu Guqiao nodded: "He found it, but he threw it away immediately after he lit the cigarette."

Conan: "Well, did that person stay there?"

Zhu Guqiao shook his head: "No, he left immediately and got into the car parked nearby."

Conan: "Did you see what he looked like? What did the car look like?"

Zhu Guqiao thought for a moment and said, "The car was black, and the man was wearing a hat, so I didn't see him either."

"Ah!" Perhaps it was the sugar in the chocolate. Zhugu Qiao's thoughts were very clear. He added, "But there was a pattern on that person's hand. It was a disgusting-looking nail pattern."

"Disgusting...nails?"

Everyone looked confused. What kind of pattern was that?

"Oh, there's more!" Zhugu Qiao said to Youye excitedly, "There was a big glowing hammer next to the car we were riding in!"

"Hammer? Nails? Saw?" Maori Kogoro had a strange expression on his face. He suddenly grabbed the collar of Zhuya Takumi and said, "You little bastard, are you kidding me? Where did this carpenter come from?"

Mr. Zhugu was horrified: "Mr. Maori!"

Maori Kogoro was startled, and then realized that he had lost his composure. He forced a smile and smoothed down the collar of Zhugu Takumi, then patted his head and said, "How can you tease adults so casually, little brother!"

Zhu Guqiao's expression looked a little ugly, it was the expression a child would have when he told the truth but was not believed.

He looked at Youye aggrievedly, as if he was about to cry: "Brother, everything I said is true!"

This older brother who gave him chocolate seems more trustworthy than this uncle. He will definitely believe me, right?

Just as Yuya was about to speak to comfort him, Hondou Eisuke suddenly appeared.

He squatted down, reached out and touched Zhu Guqiao's neck, looked straight into his eyes, smiled and said, "Your name is Xiaoqiao, right?"

Zhu Guqiao nodded slightly.

Hondou Eisuke looked into his eyes, his smile suddenly faded, and his tone became a little cold: "What you just said was actually all false, right?"

Zhu Guqiao said loudly: "It's not fake, everything I said is true!"

Hondou Eisuke did not ask any more questions, but looked straight into Hashiratani Takumi's eyes.

Hashiratani Takumi showed no sign of fear at all and looked at Hondou Eisuke fearlessly.

Conan's face suddenly became extremely ugly when he saw this scene.

He suddenly remembered that day in the park, Rena Mizunashi used exactly the same action to question whether he was stalking her.

Looking at the face that was somewhat similar to Rena Mizunashi, Conan seemed to vaguely see that the person questioning Hashiratani Takumi at this time was not Hondou Eisuke, but the one who should still be lying unconscious on the hospital bed...
