Chapter 179 Who is the Plague God?
Perfect, absolutely perfect!
Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but cheer in her heart, and a fireworks show erupted in her inner world, with colorful fireworks missiles exploding in the sky with dazzling tail flames.
Then, endless fireworks exploded in the air, forming several large characters and a series of exclamation marks.
Today was a peaceful day. There were no murders, and no one wanted to kill anyone. The two of them quietly chatted and ate their lunch.
What should have been an ordinary thing became all the more precious.
Who knows if the more skilled a detective is, the more likely they are to get involved in strange murder cases, especially after leaving the warm haven of home.
When you go to public places, you are more likely to encounter murders that have been completed or are in the works.
Sonoko Suzuki seemed particularly concerned and worried about Akutagawa Hiko's decision to see a psychologist. Who would go to the doctor for no reason, unless the doctor was a handsome man or a beautiful woman?
However, based on her experience, such doctors are a very small minority, given their training and working environment.
Out of concern for Akutagawa Hiko's mental state, Suzuki Sonoko invited him to lunch and was surprised to find that Akutagawa Hiko seemed to be in a very good mood today. That psychologist is quite capable, isn't he?
I just don't know if this doctor accepts private employment.
Akutagawa was also very satisfied. Although Sonoko, this unofficial Grim Reaper, could hardly exert her abilities when she was alone, causing various cases to explode in front of her, she mostly provided various venues for Grim Reapers and criminals to perform.
However, he not only had to take care of a minor villain in the movie, but he also enjoyed a very nice French meal.
"Ah Yan, what do you think about me learning French cuisine?"
Just now, Akutagawa Hiko seemed to really like those dishes that looked more delicate than typical Japanese cuisine, even though the portions were smaller. Perhaps I could learn how to make them.
If Akutagawa Hiko knew what Sonoko was thinking, he would probably try to dissuade her immediately. The most important thing about whether foreign cuisine tastes good in China is whether it is authentic.
Unless the food cultures are very similar, the more authentic the food, the less delicious it will be.
That's right. Foreign cuisine that hasn't been localized, even if it's extremely popular in its home country, will hardly make a splash abroad.
However, Akutagawa Hiko assumed that Sonoko just wanted to develop her hobbies and offered his support as a matter of course, which cost Sonoko little.
Especially after entering the first year of the "Science of Science" era, even the cost of time seems particularly insignificant.
"A good idea"
Before they could finish speaking, the two heard a familiar scream.
"It's Ran!" ×2
At times like this, the two, who had been through many murders together, seemed to have a remarkable understanding and rushed to the crime scene.
In a narrow alley, a man dressed in a cleaning company uniform lay sprawled with his head shattered. Beside him lay a bloodstained piece of steel shaped like an anvil and a harmonica.
It feels so much like something out of Detective Conan. Such a large piece of steel fell from such a height and hit his head, yet he still managed to leave a complete corpse and not become a victim. It's truly a Detective Conan-esque quality.
This makes me admire those murderers who can dismember people even more.
After Xiaolan screamed, she quickly dialed the police, which was something she had practiced before.
Akutagawa Hiko was puzzled. Why hadn't he heard Sonoko scream? Could this be some kind of hidden mechanism that required him to rush into the crime scene immediately to trigger?
Thinking about it carefully, it actually makes a lot of sense. After all, people who have heard screams before and have lived in Mihana for a while know what they mean. Once they are mentally prepared, they are less likely to be scared into screaming.
In Mika, the local specialty is all sorts of strange and bizarre dead people.
Although Sonoko Suzuki was startled when she first saw the body, she did not scream. Instead, she looked around the room with a suspicious gaze.
Why are we running into another case? Could it be that one of them has been cursed by something strange and turned into a plague?
Sonoko Suzuki silently gripped the amulet hanging around her neck, then fixed her gaze on Conan, who was investigating the scene. "I choose you!"
It wasn't that Sonoko had any prejudice against Conan, but rather that among the people she knew present, Conan was the one she had the least close relationship with. She felt guilty about labeling either Akutagawa Hiko or Mouri Ran as a jinx.
Thus, Conan became the scapegoat.
Seeing that Ran had already called the police without needing any prompting, Akutagawa Hiko stopped several cleaning company employees who had discovered the body around the same time as Ran and Conan.
"Could you please go to the rooftop of that building and keep watch to see if anyone goes in or out?"
When Akutagawa saw the secretary in red running over, he knew that the employees would not be able to catch their president collecting piano wires; there was no elevator across the street, and there wasn't enough time.
The secretary, true to her word, recognized the deceased instantly despite his face being completely obscured by his prone position: "Mr. Fujii?!"
Akutagawa Hiko stepped forward and asked, "Do you know the deceased?"
The secretary nodded quickly and said, "That's right, he is our company's director, Fujii, but how can it not be? I must go and tell our president immediately."
Knowing that the company president and murderer would come down on his own, Akutagawa stopped him, saying, "Wait, I need to understand some things first."
After some conversation, Akutagawa Hiko nodded and said, "So, Mr. Fujii was hit by the falling object on his way from the branch office to the head office?"
The secretary nodded and said, "That's right, because he has to talk to the president at nine o'clock."
As they were talking, the company president, whose skin color was comparable to that of an Osaka black chicken, came out.
After being stopped by her secretary, she asked in confusion, "Ms. Numb, what happened?"
Upon seeing her key figure, the numb secretary was no longer as flustered as before, and replied, "It's Director Fujii—"
President Nakayama, feigning ignorance of what had happened, slowly approached: "What happened to Fujii?"
Upon seeing Fujii's lifeless body, President Nakayama was initially taken aback, but then immediately instructed his secretary, "Go and notify Wanbao Auto in front of the building right away, and tell them to move the car so as not to obstruct the police from reporting the incident later."
Unexpectedly, a hand reached out and blocked the numb secretary's path: "Wait, that car is very close to the crime scene. We should try to preserve the integrity of the crime scene and it's best not to touch it."
President Zhongshan frowned: "Who are you?"
Before Akutagawa Hiko could even introduce himself, Suzuki Sonoko eagerly exclaimed, "This is the famous detective Akutagawa Hiko! You must have seen him in the newspapers!"
