Chapter 171 Choose 2 from 1
Takano Hideki said to Xia Xi affectionately: "Beautiful angel, I want to tell you that my heart is deeply in love with you. You are the most beautiful accident in my life. Take the flowers in my hand and agree to be my girlfriend. I promise you that you will be the one I love most among all the women in the future. Don't worry, I will treat you well and give you a lot of money. You can tell me anything you want. You don't have to show up as a detective and work hard to make money. I will support you..."
Paimon couldn't help but pop up his head: "Traveler, this is the first time I've seen someone confess to you. But I always feel that what that person said sounds a bit annoying. Strange, shouldn't confession make people happy? Yesterday I saw Xiaolan was very happy when someone confessed to her, right?"
Paimon sounded confused.
Xia Xi clenched her fists, suppressing the anger provoked by the confession of the man in front of her: "Oh, that's because someone doesn't know how to speak properly."
Xia Xi could tell from Gao Ye's eyes that although he was a little narcissistic, he said those words sincerely because he thought it was for his own good. It was just that being able to make the words of his confession so infuriating was a skill.
If he continued talking, Xia Xi was a little worried that she would be able to use physics to shut him up.
Conan and Xiaolan were also a little angry at first, but when they saw the sneer slowly appearing on Xia Xi's face, they turned and looked at Xia Xi cautiously, worried that she would not be able to control herself and attack.
You know, this could very well result in loss of life.
Suddenly, Xia Xi saw something out of the corner of her eye, and she kicked Takano Hideki.
Kong also sensed something and moved closer to Xia Xi.
When Conan first saw Xia Xi's actions, he thought she had finally given up and was ready to take action. But soon, he realized he was wrong.
"Oh!"
Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, a tall Christmas tree that served as decoration next to Hideki Takano fell towards where he had originally been.
It can be said that if Xia Xi hadn't kicked him just now, he would probably have been crushed under the tree, and would have been disabled if not dead.
But come to think of it, why is there a Christmas tree as decoration here? It must be several months away from Christmas.
When Xiaolan and Sonoko saw this, they hurried to Hideki Takano and helped him up.
"Mr. Kono, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay...ah, it hurts! No, maybe there is still something wrong..." Takano Hideki originally intended to be tougher, but his chest did hurt a bit after being kicked, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
But he also knew that Xia Xi could not be blamed, after all, this was also to save himself.
This was the second time she had saved him, and Takano Hideki became more and more convinced that there was a destiny between them.
Xia Xi saw Takano Hideki looking at her with eyes full of emotion, and her back felt numb and she got goose bumps.
Could it be that Mr. Takano was kicked in the head by her? Although she was a little angry and used a little more force, she noticed that he did not hit his head, so there should be no problem with his brain.
When Kong saw this scene, the smile on his face could hardly be maintained. He turned slightly to block Takano Hideki's gaze.
The police arrived at the scene quickly.
"Xiaolan, Conan and Xia Xi, we meet again." Inspector Megure looked at them with half-moon eyes.
A police officer behind Inspector Megure also greeted everyone.
"Ms. Natsume, finally this meeting is not at the explosion site." Matsuda Jinpei took off his sunglasses, put them in his chest pocket, and winked at Xia Xi.
After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Xia Xi and asked, "Who is this? Your new friend?"
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Matsuda Jinpei felt that this person looked familiar. If it wasn't for the different appearance, he would have almost thought that the other person was the one who saved him.
Apart from their looks, some of the features are too similar. Is it really just a coincidence?
Jinpei Matsuda was a little bit unconvinced.
"It turns out to be Mr. Morikawa." After listening to Xia Xi's introduction, Matsuda Jinpei stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.
"Mr. Morikawa, you look familiar, have we met before?"
"Probably not. I just came back from abroad recently. If I have met Officer Matsuda recently, I would have remembered him." Kong did not react much to Matsuda Jinpei's question which sounded a bit like a flirtation. He thought for a while and gave a negative answer.
"Really? Then I must have remembered it wrongly." Matsuda Jinpei seemed to believe Sora's answer.
Without saying anything more, he turned and walked towards Officer Megure, ready to start investigating today's accident. Conan, on the other hand, had already gone one step ahead of Officer Matsuda and followed Officer Megure.
"This police officer is very perceptive." Kong exclaimed in a low voice, and only Xia Xi who was beside him could hear it.
"Do you regret saving him?" Xia Xi looked at Matsuda Jinpei's back as he seriously investigated the case, and was curious about what her brother was thinking now.
"Were you happy to see him alive?"
"A little bit, it feels like making up for a previous regret." Although most of her emotions at the time were confusion and shock about the problems in the plot, it was undeniable that she was somewhat happy when she realized that Jinpei Matsuda was indeed still alive.
"Then I won't regret it." Sora smiled tenderly at his sister.
"So there are four suspects this time." Officer Megure said with some uncertainty.
He always felt that this number was not right. Generally speaking, shouldn't it be three?
The four suspects are:
Masato Nakamura, Hideki Kono's follower, was responsible for the layout of the confession venue. The location of the tree was determined by him, and the decoration on it was also completed by him.
Inoue Jin, a friend of Hideki Takano, was invited by Hideki Takano to participate in this confession event. He accidentally knocked off the decoration when passing by and stayed for a while.
Kaiya, a new friend of Hideki Kono, took the initiative to ask to participate in today's event. Because the children she brought liked the shape of the tree, they stood by the tree and admired it for a while.
Shuichi Akai, a temporary worker at the hotel today, is responsible for moving the tree to this location.
"I say, it's just a confession, why make such a big fuss?" Inspector Megure complained after listening to the testimony.
Conan looked at the last suspect with a twitching mouth, "Mr. Akai, is this the reason why you told me yesterday not to worry? You actually came to the scene in person."
But he shouldn't be the only one, there should be other people monitoring the situation at the scene.
He was already somewhat surprised that Kaia became a suspect, but he didn't expect that Mr. Akai was also surprised.
Now, we can eliminate two of the four suspects. Mr. Akai would definitely not do such a thing, and Kaeya has no need to do such a thing. We are left with two choices.
