Chapter 140: Missing Edogawa Conan
Chapter 140: Missing Edogawa Conan
Flights from abroad to domestic.
Other passengers chatted with each other and flight attendants walked back and forth in the middle aisle.
The environment is quiet, and in this quiet environment, there are two people with outstanding temperaments.
Swish——————
The book in his hand was turned to a new page, and the man in black clothes was reading attentively.
The other person sitting next to him took a curious look at the contents of the book before asking.
"We haven't finished our work yet, why are we in such a hurry to take a plane back home?"
"Is there something going on in Tokyo recently that requires you to go and see it in person to feel at ease?"
The man reading the book turned the page again. He listened to the words of the person next to him and then said so.
"There are some things that must be dealt with, for example... the magic lawyer Xiang Yuanguang who has become famous recently."
"I am very interested in him. Even if Xiang Yuanguang didn't come out, I would still go back to China to take a look."
"It's just a matter of time—"
The man pushed his hat down slightly, then calmly turned to another page.
The other person sitting next to the man didn't ask any more questions, but focused on looking at the clouds outside the window.
This time I go back, I feel it will be more interesting than any other time I went back before——————
—————May 1, 10:20 a.m.——————
—————Xiangyuan Office, first floor apartment——————
Ding-ling-ling~Ding-ling-ling~Ding-ling-ling~
The alarm clock by the window rang.
The hedgehog-head opened his eyes, and without being fully conscious, he slapped the alarm clock and stopped the damn ringing.
"...Really? Why are we still using flip phones in this day and age? When will we be able to evolve to smartphones?"
Muttering to himself, Xiang Yuanguang stood up and was about to go wash up when he suddenly saw the time displayed on the alarm clock out of the corner of his eye.
【Ten twenty】...? Is there something wrong?
"Ah, the trial starts at 8:30! Oops, oops, oops, I set the wrong alarm!"
Without thinking too much, Xiang Yuanguang grabbed the blue coat next to him and put it on, then buckled on the lawyer badge.
He rushed into the bathroom to wash up, and then grabbed the bread he bought yesterday in a flash.
Then, just as Xiang Yuanguang was about to put on his lawyer's badge and rush onto the runway, he finally realized it.
That's not right. The lawsuit for lighting rights was already concluded yesterday. Why would he have to file a lawsuit today?
At this moment, my heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally seemed to be relieved.
Xiang Yuanguang breathed a sigh of relief, hung his coat back on the hanger, lay comfortably on the sofa and turned on the TV.
While tearing open the bread packaging, I poured a glass of water and prepared to read today's news.
[Shocking, Tokyo Beihua Town's famous lawyer, Genguang Xiang, fought against thirty people alone and wiped out the entire Ikedai gang! ]
[Next, we will play an interview with Nobuyoshi Kuwano, the leader of the Honchitai gang. ]
[“We have more than 30 of us, and every one of us is a good fighter.”]
[“It’s absolutely impossible for someone to pick all 30 of us at once!”]
[Kuwano Nobuyoshi said this with great confidence, and then the reporter asked again.]
[“What about lawyer Xiang Yuanguang? Why was he able to do this?”]
[Silence, silence, silence, and silence. ]
【After nine full shots, Kuwano Nobuyoshi finally spoke. 】
[“You know, that’s Xiang Yuanguang! If I were the Tiger of Honchidai…”]
[“That guy is the Dragon of Beika Town!”]
[This is the story of the Dragon of Beika Town, Genmitsu! While defeating a gang of thugs, he even reversed the trial of a homicide case that was extremely difficult and considered to be irreversible with sufficient evidence! ]
[Our reporter will conduct further reports on Attorney Xiang Yuan, please stay tuned! ]
What is this… I’m a lawyer, shouldn’t the focus of reporting be on my reversal of the court trial?
Xiang Yuanguang was speechless. Although he was famous, this kind of fame was not good.
A ruthless lawyer who can fight? That doesn't sound like a good reputation. He casually switched to a new show and watched the latest episode of Kamen Rider.
But my thoughts drifted to the panel prompt that popped up after the case was over.
[The Illumination Rights series of cases has ended, and the case reversal has been completed... A total of 350 reversal points have been obtained.]
[Achieve the achievement · Reversal of the 3K Era, and be rewarded with one lucky draw. 】
After the Moon Shadow Island case was over, there were still fifty reversal points left.
In other words, the reversal value of the source light has now reached four hundred.
One lottery can be held for every hundred reversal values, which means five times including the number of gifts.
(Tsk, after all, I don’t think anything good can come out of five draws.)
Xiang Yuanguang couldn't help but shook his head when he thought of this, the previous eight draws.
It feels like there are only three skills that can be used: car driving technology LV1, pistol shooting LV1, and BGM anytime and anywhere, and the only one he can really use now is the last one.
Because Xiang Yuanguang had neither a car nor a gun, he could only play the BGM in his mind.
(In addition, it is about time to purchase a computer in the office to facilitate information search.)
(Also, and… the expenses are huge anyway.)
(Take a rest for two days and look for any lawsuits that have been accepted.)
Touching his chin, Xiang Yuanguang thought thoughtfully.
However, at this moment, the phone rang suddenly.
Ding-ling-ling~Ding-ling-ling~Ding-ling-ling~
The hedgehog-headed boy's eyes were fixed on the Kamen Rider broadcast on TV, but his hand had already pressed the hands-free button.
"Hello, this is Xiangyuan Universal Office, I am the director Xiang Yuanguang."
"Excuse me, is there anything I can do to help you?"
The voice over there seemed inexplicably cold.
"Hehe, you've been helping Kudo Shinichi all this time...right?"
"Kudo Shinichi has now fallen into the hands of the organization and will soon be killed. Can we save him..."
"It's up to you. You have to come to the Rice Flower Hotel in Beika Town by yourself before 5pm."
"Remember, come on time and don't call the police, otherwise, you'll just have to wait to see Kudo Shinichi's shrunken corpse."
Toot, toot, toot.
The phone hangs up.
Xiang Yuanguang's face suddenly turned gloomy.
The organization? Kudo Shinichi? Haibara Ai didn't even show up, but Conan's true identity was discovered?
This matter seems very strange no matter how you think about it... Let's first confirm the authenticity of the matter.
Xiang Yuanguang quickly dialed the number of Dr. Agasa recorded in his mobile phone.
Although, he didn't talk to Professor Agasa many times, but there should be some notes left there.
Drop, drop, drop.
"I'm Dr. Agasa... What? Kudo Shinichi fell into the hands of the organization?"
"I immediately contacted Maori and they said Conan was picked up by his mother yesterday."
"Now, I can't contact him either. What that person said might be true!"
"Well, come to my house now and let's discuss what to do next!"
Dr. Agasa's voice was also anxious.
Is it because it happened suddenly?
Xiang Yuanguang frowned. He really couldn't remember the early plot of Conan clearly.
The only things I remember are the plots like Moon Shadow Island, The Weirdos in the Villa, and The Entrepreneur's Daughter.
Did this scene happen or not? Was it because of the butterfly effect he brought about?
(No matter what, I can’t just sit there and watch. I’ll go meet up with Professor Agasa first.)
(Then call Inspector Megure, Officer Takagi and others to check the source of the phone signal.)
(Time is running out, we must act now.)
Crunch——————
The door of the office was pushed open, and Xiang Yuanguang's gaze lingered on his blue coat.
But in the end, he just went out in casual clothes, without even a blue coat or a lawyer's medal.
Because I don’t need these now!
thump.
The door to the law firm was automatically locked after being closed.
