Chapter 1330 Kudo Shinichi’s Number Is as Follows
Anger swept through Ariane, making it difficult for him to think rationally. He gritted his teeth and said: "It's the organization again. When can we make them pay the price?!"
"It won't take long, Ariane, they are at the peak of their power now." A sneer appeared on the corner of James Blake's lips, "The hotter they are, the more miserable they will be destroyed."
This is the same for either party.
Seeing that Ariane was still angry, James said quietly: "Besides, some things don't have to be done by yourself. It's easier to rely on the help of others, isn't it?"
Ariane raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean..."
"Have you ever dealt with Homeland Security?"
"No."
"If you have a chance, I'll take you to meet them. They are a very interesting group of guys."
The topic ended here, James did not continue talking to Ariane, and the FBI investigation into the motel bombing was also terminated.
A colleague brought the news to Hondo Yinghai who was waiting at the gas station.
Our hall, Yinghai, was eating macaroni. Hearing this, he looked up in surprise: "Are you sure you heard correctly? The FBI actually stopped investigating?"
"I was also surprised, so I made sure that they had indeed stopped all investigations." My colleague came closer and whispered, "It seems that the source of the bomb is related to TENSE, and the senior management is too worried to delve deeper."
"So the motel bombing and the Washington, D.C., case were not the work of one force?"
"That seems to be the case so far."
Hontang Yinghai frowned deeply. Subconsciously, she didn't want to believe this result. She always felt that there was a big net behind these things, and everyone was included in it.
correct! That strange innkeeper!
Hondo Yinghai threw away the half-eaten macaroni and quickly got into the car.
"Where are you going?" My colleague asked quickly.
"The hotel where the explosion occurred."
With the roar of the car engine, Hondo Yinghai drove in the direction he came from.
In the car, my colleagues couldn't restrain their curiosity and doubts, and asked, "Hasn't the crime scene been investigated carefully? Why should we go there?"
"I have something I want to confirm."
Our hall, Yinghai, didn't say much. Anyway, when they saw the boss, their colleagues would know.
However, the hotel that was still crowded in the morning was empty at this time, and only the faint smell of burnt food filled the air.
Hondo Yinghai and his colleagues checked the hotel inside and out, but found no one, let alone the hotel owner.
"This seems to be the boss's room." The colleague opened the door and was surprised, "It's so clean in there?!"
There was only the simplest furniture in the room, and not even clothing, daily necessities, or garbage could be seen.
Even if the boss decided to leave the place after the incident, he would not have left the room so clean, as if no one had ever lived there.
Main Hall Yinghai looked at the traces of the passage of time on the wall, and the strange feeling in his heart became more and more obvious.
"Check the history of this hotel, especially the owner's information." Hondo Yinghai ordered calmly.
"yes."
…
"Woof woof woof!!"
Although the dog's legs are only a little short, it's hard to bear that someone has four legs. Gouzi ran with all his strength, but Xinfan and the others were exhausted.
Fortunately, they soon saw the dog stopped by the river bank.
Conan quickly ran over and picked it up: "Finally found you!"
"Woof woof woof!" The dog was still barking endlessly.
At the same time, Nobushige also heard some unusual sounds.
It seemed like...a cry for help?
Nobuhiro looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small black dot in the center of the lake. With his eyesight, he could only barely make out that it might be a head.
"Someone fell into the water." Compared to the content of his words, Nobuhiro's tone was terrifyingly calm.
"Ah, it's true!" Mao Lilan panicked immediately, "Quick, Dad, let's go rescue people!!"
Gouzi also echoed a few words: "Ouch~"
The man who fell into the water was far away from the shore, but fortunately there was a pier directly leading to the center of the lake. There were orange lifebuoys tied to wooden piles every twenty meters. Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan were enough to rescue the man. .
While waiting for the results, Nobuhiro's phone vibrated.
The mobile phone he commonly used on weekdays was placed in the hotel. The only people who could contact him at this time were a few fixed people and the number he had set up to forward messages.
but……
Seeing Kudo Shinichi who was still talking on the phone after becoming smaller and still not knowing how to restrain himself, Nobushige knew who made the call.
He pressed the hang up button indifferently.
Sure enough, Conan's distressed voice sounded on the other side: "Why don't you answer the phone? Are you busy again?"
Nobuhiro put his hands in his pockets and typed blindly:
[I don’t want to talk on the phone during the break. What’s the matter? ]
Seeing this, Conan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent him a message back:
[Brother Asano, we encountered a situation while investigating the client. I will send you the situation. Can you help us analyze it? ]
[Kudo Shinichi’s phone number is as follows, please contact him, thank you for your cooperation. ]
Conan: "..."
Isn't Mr. Asano deliberately trying to be disrespectful?
"Ding dong" new message has arrived.
Or Nobushige Asano’s text message [How was the performance? ]
Conan was stunned for a moment before he realized what Mr. Asano was talking about. He replied: [Very good, but brother Asano, why didn't you go to 1703 to find us? ]
He told the room number in front of his secretary, not just for the tickets for the show!
In response, Asano Nobushige only replied: "It's not yet time." ]
On the other side, Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan worked hard and finally rescued the person who fell into the water.
When they took a look——
Good guy, isn’t this Rick Hawkins! !
As soon as the dog saw his owner, he ran over happily and waggled his tail happily around Rick Hawkins.
"Oh, Mr. Hawkins! How did you turn yourself into this?" Mouri Kogoro asked in shock and concern.
"Cough cough cough cough!" Rick coughed painfully, as if he wanted to cough his lungs out of his throat.
After a long time, Rick finally recovered. He reached out to Kogoro Maori and stood up with his help: "Someone, someone pushed me down! I came here to fish this morning, and I was concentrating on... …A man suddenly approached me. I didn’t expect something like this to happen, in broad daylight!”
Probably because this kind of thing was so unbelievable, Rick spoke incoherently.
"Did you see clearly who pushed you?" Mouri Kogoro asked again.
"No." Rick stroked his dog's head and shook his head. "I only know that it was definitely a man, and a young man. Ordinary people couldn't push me down, even if I was defenseless."
"thump--"
"Ah ah ah, help! Woo! Save me!"
Nobuhiro withdrew his hand with an indifferent expression, and even patted the non-existent dust on his hand.
Mao Lilan and Conan stared at Nobushige in astonishment.
"What do you think I'm going to do?" Xinfan said calmly, "Aren't you going to save people?"
Mouri Kogoro quickly climbed down and reached out to Rick Hawkins who was flopping on the water: "Grab me and I'll pull you up!"
One line was written clearly on Conan's face - You are so cruel!
After a difficult rescue, Rick Hawkins finally stayed on land again. His face turned blue due to lack of oxygen, and there were bruises on his wrists from Moori Kogoro's force.
Rick beat his chest and breathed desperately while pointing at Nobuhiro. He gasped for a long time and couldn't say a word.
Mouri Kogoro had a stern face and asked seriously: "Ogawa-kun, why did you push Mr. Hawkins into the water? Even if it was to restore the scene, you shouldn't..."
"I'm also very confused." Nobuhiro smiled and looked at the embarrassed Rick Hawkins, "Why did Mr. Hawkins drown in the shallows with a depth of less than one meter?"
"The water is one meter deep?" Mouri Kogoro was confused.
Nobuhiro didn't explain anything. He broke off a branch of only one meter at most from the nearby tree and inserted it into the water.
Apparently, after the branch was inserted into the mud at the bottom of the lake, a section of it remained above the water.
This is a depth that would never have caused Rick Hawkins to drown.
Rick Hawkins' face turned pale again: "Are you suspecting that I deceived you?"
"No, please don't misunderstand." Nobuhiro had already made an excuse for Rick, "The mud at the bottom of the lake is very thick, and it will be difficult to escape if you get stuck in it. And I think the lake bed here is not very flat, and some places are particularly deep. I understand. If you don’t know how to swim, it’s normal to fall into the water and be unable to save yourself.”
"and you……"
"So I just want to refute what you just said. When you are unprepared, even someone as seemingly weak as Miss Mori or Conan can easily push you down."
The doubts only need to be given to Mouri Kogoro and Conan. They are not police and do not need to be restricted by evidence. Nobushige doesn't want to push Rick Hawkins too hard here. As the saying goes, a dog will jump over the wall when it gets angry, and a rabbit will bite when it gets angry. Pushing Rick Hawkins to the edge will do no good to their investigation.
Conan looked at the detective named Ogawa Yumatsu and frowned deeply.
He looked different from the criminal Ogawa he first met.
Conan couldn't tell exactly what was different, he just kept an eye out.
After all, Yumatsu Ogawa is not under the control of Kogoro Mouri. Although the uncle is not satisfied with his behavior, he can't say much. He can only ask Rick: "Mr. Hawkins, this place is in a remote location. You know you have received death threats. Why?" Will you go fishing here alone?"
"Oh, that's because I received another threatening letter this morning."
Rick Hawkins searched for a long time in the soaked clothes and finally pulled out a crumpled piece of paper.
He handed the paper to Kogoro Mori.
The text was printed, and the content was very simple. It was to invite Rick Hawkins to come to the lake for a party, and bluntly stated that he would tell Rick his identity and purpose here.
Mouri Kogoro frowned: "Why didn't you tell me this kind of thing?"
"Sorry..." Rick was silent, "Because I suspect that person is probably a member of our Hawkins family. The family scandal should not be made public. If we can resolve this matter peacefully, it may be best not to involve detectives. .”
Are you putting yourself at risk for this reason?
Conan didn't believe this. Rather than trying to keep the family scandal public, he was more willing to think that there was something wrong with Rick Hawkins himself. For example, he actually knew the identity of the person, but because of some information that he did not want the detective to know, Rick Hawkins had to go to the appointment alone.
Nobuhiro's cell phone suddenly vibrated again, someone called him.
When he opened it, the first thing he found was an unread email.
"Huh? Ogawa Criminal, what happened?" Conan was like a piece of dog-skin plaster with independent recognition ability, and he immediately applied it.
Because of Conan, Nobuhiro did not answer the phone immediately. Instead, he changed his phone to an angle where Conan could not see it and opened the email.
...It turned out to be like this.
Xinfan sighed slightly in his heart.
Is Rum worried that the child's will for revenge is not strong enough?
Nobuhiro grabbed Conan and threw it to Mao Lilan, who was empty-handed next to him: "Watch the kid."
"Ah, yes." Mao Lilan quickly picked up Conan.
Nobushige walked aside and pressed the answer button.
A deafening roar immediately came from the receiver: "Zhu Fu Jingguang! You can do it. Not only did you drag me to work overtime for you, but now you don't even answer the phone??"
Nobushige wisely covered the receiver first - otherwise he was not sure whether they could hear Matsuda Jinpei's voice clearly from Conan who was several meters away, not to mention that his hearing would most likely be damaged.
And...has this guy Matsuda become more and more irritable recently?
This is not good. Excessive qi will damage the liver.
"Calm down, calm down." Nobufan said helplessly, "I'll ask my brother to add chicken drumsticks to your lunch tomorrow."
"Who cares about your chicken legs!" Matsuda Jinpei snorted, "I'll give you half an hour, no more than a minute, go back to the hotel quickly!"
After hearing this, Xinfan immediately became serious: "What's wrong?"
Matsuda's tone didn't sound like he was joking, something must have happened.
"If you don't go back, someone will find out that you are not in the hotel." At this point, Matsuda's tone softened a little, "Don't worry, it's still safe for now."
It is indeed safe for now - although Matsuda lost at least hundreds of hairs because of this result.
Some bastard should get back as fast as he can, even if it's for his hairline!
Half an hour...
"I see."
Nobushige put down the phone and immediately said to Kogoro Mori: "Mr. Mori, the company suddenly has some urgent matters that need to be dealt with. I will take the first step."
"Ah, okay." Mouri Kogoro said nothing more.
As for that "company", he also successfully obtained Ogawa Yumatsu's true purpose. He probably didn't want them to reveal his identity, right?
After Nobushige left, Rick Hawkins looked at his back and was very confused: "Mr. Mori, who is that gentleman?"
"Oh, him." Mouri Kogoro laughed, "He is a friend of mine. I met him on the way here. I didn't expect him to come to the United States too. I heard he was on a business trip for the company or something."
