Chapter 648: The man with burns on the right side of his face

Youya walked up to Judy and said with some emotion: "Teacher Judy has really bad luck. Did you come here to withdraw money? I didn't expect to encounter such a thing suddenly."

Judy didn't care about luck or not, but asked Yuya in a panic: "Did you see him?"

Youya was stunned for a moment, revealing a puzzled expression: "Who?"

Judy's expression froze and she fell silent. Finally, she said, "No, nothing..."

Yuya: ? It can't be your ex-boyfriend? No, Judy's ex-boyfriend is Akai Shuichi, how is this possible, hahahaha.

At this moment, James and Carmel also ran over panting.

They had been waiting for Judy in the previous store, and when they saw that she hadn't come back yet, they decided to come over to check on the situation.

As a result, they heard on the way that the bank had been robbed and even exploded. They thought that Judy had detonated the bomb while fighting the robbers, so they hurried over.

After seeing that Judy was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

James said with some emotion: "Judy, you have worked hard. It is really an unexpected disaster. By the way, who did you say you saw just now?"

Judy's pupils shrank slightly, and she wanted to say that she saw Shuichi Akai, but then she remembered that she had just said with certainty that Shuichi Akai was dead.

Moreover, it is impossible to confirm whether it is Shuichi Akai himself...

"No, nothing..." In the end, Judy still didn't say what she saw, but just made the excuse that she had seen it wrong.

Yuya's eyes flickered. He was sure that Judy had seen something, but why didn't she say it out?

On the way back.

"Come to think of it," Mitsuhiko suddenly said, "Just now when I was in the bank, I seemed to see someone who looked very familiar."

"Hmm? Who is it?" Youya asked casually.

Mitsuhiko raised his head and thought: "He was the man who was in the same car with us when we were held hostage on the bus before."

"Ah! Could it be that big brother with the fierce eyes?" Yuan Tai shouted loudly.

Mitsuhiko showed a look of realization and nodded, "When Yuanta said that, I remembered it. It was definitely him. I remember there were traces of burns on the right side of his face."

You was stunned. Is there such a person? Why can't he remember it? So he asked, "I was in the car at that time, why don't I remember such a person?"

"No," Mitsuhiko explained, "He didn't have any injuries on his face when he was held hostage on the bus, but he was wearing a black knitted hat and a mask at the time."

"W-what?!" Yuya's face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously looked at Conan.

The man the two little brats were talking about was undoubtedly Akai Shuichi, but how could that be possible? And why didn't they see that man in the bank?

Did they simply not see it, or was the other party intentionally avoiding their sight?

"Where is that man?" Conan asked anxiously.

Mitsuhiko spread his hands and said, "I haven't seen him since the robber was arrested. Maybe he left secretly because he didn't want to be questioned by the police."

Yuan Tai made a bold guess and suddenly shouted, "Could it be that the scars on his face were left by something illegal? Could it be arson?!"

Mitsuhiko said nervously: "No way? Then should we call the police right away?" As he spoke, he looked around, and it seemed that he really wanted to find a telephone booth to call the police.

Youye quickly stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive. Since that person dared to go out in broad daylight, he must not be a suspicious person like a criminal. Maybe he doesn't want the scars on his face to be seen by many people."

Mitsuhiko thought it made sense: "It seems to be the case. When I saw him in the bank, he was wearing a scarf around his neck and his hat covered most of his face."

After successfully fooling the two little brats, Youya breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuya and Conan looked at each other, and both remembered Judy's strange behavior just now. Did she also see Akai Shuichi with a burn on his right face? No wonder she showed such an expression.

···

When returning to Kamiya's house, Yuya looked up and saw that the light was on in Kudo's house and Okiya Subaru seemed to be at home.

He thought for a while, let Miyano Shiho go in first, then walked across the street and rang the doorbell.

Soon, Okiya Subaru came over and opened the door.

He saw Yuya had a look of surprise on his face.

"What's wrong? Yuya-kun, do you want to talk to me about something?" he asked.

Yuya smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just saw the light on in the room when I came back, so I wanted to come over and ask if Mr. Subaru is used to living here?"

Subaru Okiya smiled and said, "It's pretty good. The room is big... By the way, regarding the internship, I have already contacted Teitan High School and they have agreed. I will go there to teach mathematics starting tomorrow."

"Is that so? That's great, congratulations." Youya nodded with a smile.

The two were silent for a moment, just staring at each other quietly.

"Mr. Subaru..."

"Ok?"

"Did you go to Rice Flower Street today?"

"No, I've been helping the teacher with experiments at school."

"I see... I saw someone who looked a lot like you there, and I thought it was you."

"Maybe you saw it wrong."

"Maybe... Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Okay, bye."

"Goodbye."

Watching Yuya walk into the yard, Subaru Okiya's smiling face slowly turned gloomy.

He returned to the house, turned on the computer in the study and started searching the Internet. He soon found today's news about a bank robbery.

The headline of the news was clear and concise—the famous detective Yuya Kamiya solved a bank robbery on the spot.

Then there is a text introduction about the case, and below it is a photo of Yuya smiling at the camera.

Okiya Subaru was slowly browsing the news, and the scrolling mouse suddenly stopped, and the webpage also stopped on a picture.

Click to enlarge, and the picture freezes on a half-blurred back - he can tell at a glance that this is a foreign woman.

Subaru Okiya's squinted eyes slightly opened, and a sharp look shot out, staring at the foreign woman.

After a while, Subaru Okiya closed the webpage and cleared his browsing history.

He put one hand in his pocket, went to the kitchen, and took a can of coffee from the refrigerator.

Holding a cup of coffee, Subaru Okiya returned to the study, but he did not sit in front of the computer. Instead, he stood by the window, drinking coffee and looking up at the dark sky through the gap in the curtains.

"The weather seems to be getting worse..."
