Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

On this day, it was already afternoon when Nagai Mitsuru came out of the company. In the morning, the TV station broadcast the story of how Kogoro, who had been sleeping, solved the case and the truth behind the death of the person who fell from a building.

The news has reversed. Netizens who had scolded Kogoro Mori have lost their memory along with the media and started praising the sleeping detective for his keen insight.

The Lemon Technology building is very close to the Bell Tree Tower, also known as the Suzuki Tower. When passing by the Bell Tree Tower, Nagai Hikaru saw several children from the Junior Detective League holding a map and looking at something under the tower.

Nagai Hikaru asked Hamura Shuichi to stop the car, then got out and walked over: "Ah, it's rare to meet you guys, are you here to play? The tower isn't built yet."

"Sister Xiaoguang!" Ayumi was the first to greet happily.

After saying hello to each of the kids, Mitsuhiko took the lead and explained, "Originally, the Suzuki Tower opened today. We decided to make a Tokyo architectural model as our summer group assignment."

"So you are here to inspect the Suzuki Tower now?" asked Mitsuru Nagai with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah." Yuan Tai nodded, "We also have to build that building over in Asakusa. Oh, and that river, with all those bridges."

Nagai Hikaru looked at Huihara Ai who had been silent in the back and said, "You two are doing this together?"

Huiyuan smiled sadly and nodded: "Well, is my sister passing by?"

"Yeah, my company's headquarters is nearby?"

Conan's expression changed: "Headquarters?"

"Lemon Technology, which company do you think it is?"

"Oh..." Conan was startled.

"Ah, is that the building?" Yuantai saw a huge lemon slice on the side of a house with only about ten floors.

"Yes."

“It’s not that high.” Mitsuhiko felt a little disappointed. “It might be hard to find it even if we reach the top of the tower.”

Ayumi nodded: "Maybe you can only see half a lemon of the house."

As he was talking, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked to the bottom of the tower with two foreigners and said in English: "Look, that house is so close to this iconic building, it is definitely in the prosperous area of ​​Tokyo, and it is only 30 years old. The rental-to-sale ratio is definitely high. It is an excellent investment project."

Nagai Hikaru didn't understand and just scratched his ears: "This guy is so annoying. He brought foreigners to see the tower even though it's not built yet."

Conan glanced at the blond and blue-eyed Nagai Hikaru and was speechless.

Suddenly, a bloody hole appeared on the forehead of the real estate agent in the suit. When he was about to fall to the ground, the sound of gunfire was heard.

An image of a hole in his forehead suddenly flashed through Nagai Mitsuru's mind, so he reflexively fell to the ground and rolled to the side, leaving a bullet hole where he had just stood.

Conan shouted that there was a sniper attack, and the children began to hide in the nearby flower beds and behind the building shelves at the bottom of Suzuki Tower.

Nagai Hikaru dodged another bullet by relying on the warning of dangerous fragments that flashed through his brain.

Conan turned on the telescopic function of his glasses: "It's the building in Asakusa!"

After hiding in the flower bed for isolation, the sniper vision of Nagai Mitsuru was completely lost.

"Xiao Guang, don't come out! I'm going to take a look at that building!" As he said that, he picked up the skateboard placed aside, stepped on it and rushed towards Asakusa.

Nagai Mitsuru wiped the sweat from his head and said, "What the hell? Why did I become one of the sniper targets?" He fired two more shots.

Hamura Shuichi came over with an umbrella and blocked Nagai's bald head: "Miss, do you need to call the police?"

"Report it." Nagai Mitsuru was puzzled. "Who could I have offended? And you're sniping me?"

"Conan caught up with us. Is that okay?"

"There are so many people who have blocked bullets for him." Nagai Mitsuru continued to hide under the umbrella for a while. After five or six minutes, when he was sure that there were no more gunshots, he stood up and walked towards the flower bed where the remaining four children were hiding.

"Are you all okay?"

"Sister!" Huiyuan Ai was the fastest to run over and hug his legs, "Are you also a target of the sniper?"

Nagai Hikaru leaned over and hugged Huihara Ai: "Okay, okay, maybe it's indiscriminate killing? Don't be nervous..."

"It's even more terrifying, Sister Xiaoguang!" Mitsuhiko said loudly.

"But..." Huihara Ai nervously grabbed Nagai Hikaru's clothes on her chest, "Sister, please go home quickly. Go back to Dracula's villa."

"Don't worry, I'm fine now, right? Conan will catch the murderer." Nagai Hikaru patted Huihara Ai on the back, "Maybe I'm just unlucky."

Ayumi looked at the direction Conan left: "But...if Conan goes after him, the murderer has a gun."

Nagai Hikaru's cell phone rang, and Conan called: "Xiao Guang, call the police quickly, the criminal is riding a motorcycle, the license plate is Shinjuku se3317."

Nagai Hikaru looked at Hamura Shuichi and said, "Quickly notify the police: the other party's motorcycle is Shinjuku SE3317, and is heading north from Miki-dori."

Shuichi Hamura quickly called the police and passed on the information.

"Are you still holding on to your phone? Don't drop it." Nagai Hikaru reminded Conan.

"Yes, I have it. Now I am on the Kototo Bridge. I have crossed the Sumida River and turned left into the one-way street."

Nagai Hikaru's face changed: "Stop chasing me, get back here!"

There was the sound of a cell phone colliding, and then the call was disconnected.

"Miss?" After Hideichi Hamura told the police that the other party had crossed the Sumida River, he hung up the phone and looked at Hikaru Nagai.

"...It should be fine, this guy with a halo all over his body." Nagai Mitsuru put down his phone with a depressed look on his face, and pulled Huihara Ai, "Anyway, Xiao Ai, I'll take you and a few other kids home first."

After sending the children home, Hikaru Nagai and Shuichi Hamura were called to the police station. In addition to Conan who was unharmed, there were also Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and Masumi Sera.

"what's the situation?"

"Well, brother Mori is here to help analyze the case, and Sera-san has chased the criminal together." Inspector Megure laughed dryly.

When we arrived at the so-called office, Judy and a familiar-looking person were standing in front of the whiteboard.

"Ah, Teacher Judy's boyfriend Cameron?"

Judy shook her head awkwardly: "No, he is Kamal, and he is actually an FBI agent."

"...Oh, so it was a fake name and fake identity before."

"Ah, the main reason is that we came to Japan for vacation and did not report to the Japanese police for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings." Judy explained with a strong smile.

"Now?"

"We have received information about this mission from the FBI. Because it has a certain relationship with the US military, we need to cooperate with the Japanese police to catch the criminal."

Nagai Hikaru nodded to show that he understood: "Is the criminal a military man?"

"I used to be a soldier." After Judy waited for everyone to be seated, she took out a few photos and pasted them on the whiteboard.

Then it tells the tragic story of a Navy SEAL soldier in the Middle East.

"Now there is a very strange thing. After Hunter killed the reporter, it is understandable that he would kill the bad real estate agent, but why would he attack Nagai?" Judy put down the teaching stick prop that was pointing at the blackboard, a little confused.

Nagai Mitsuru was puzzled: "I don't know. From the photos, I have never seen this Hunter. Besides, the last time I went to the United States was a few years ago. I am sure I didn't meet him there either."

Conan nodded, "Yeah."

Mao Lilan looked over in surprise: "Ah? You have been to the United States too?"

"...Yes, my dad took me to Hawaii when I was a child, hahaha." Conan touched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"We found a bullet casing on the building that was attacked. The 7.62mm bullet matched the casing, and there was also a dice." Officer Chiba took out photos of the scene and showed everyone what the dice looked like.

"Now we infer that Hunter's targets include these people... and Mr. Nagai who may be on the list." Kamal pointed to the three photos on the whiteboard, then looked at Nagai Hikaru, "You really don't remember any conflict with him?"

"Absolutely not."

Conan suddenly remembered: "Sister Xiaoguang, you just came out of Lemon Technology today, right? Could it be related to Lemon Technology?"

"Although I am one of the shareholders of Lemon Technology, what really influences the company's decision-making is the shareholding of doo Communications. I only have the right to know." Nagai Mitsuru shook his head.

"Strange." Conan stroked his chin in thought.

"Is it really Hunter this time?" Sera Masumi was a little confused. "Although the motives of the first two deaths were obvious, Nagai..."

"There are three other people who Hunter has a clear motive to kill, and all three of them may be in Japan now." Judy called up the computer file, "Waltz and Murphy, one is in Kyoto and the other is in Nikko. And Moriyama Jin, who was originally a Japanese, is now missing."

"Anyway, let's search Hunter in the bay first." Officer Megure made the decision.

After leaving the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, everyone discussed a few words and then separated. Conan told Mao Lilan that he wanted to have a midnight snack, so he pestered Nagai Hikaru to act coquettishly and leave separately.

Nagai Hikaru promised Maori Ran alone that he would send Conan back to the Maori Detective Agency after the meal.

"So what's the matter?" Nagai Mitsuru asked curiously.

"Does this sniping attack have anything to do with the identity of your organization?"

"No." Nagai Hikaru said confidently, "And I haven't received any intelligence before. This attack must be private in nature."

"private?"

"Well, it's not hiring a killer on the black market, nor is it a murder for hire." Nagai Mitsuru leaned back in the back seat of the car, his chin resting on his hand.

Conan still trusted the organization's intelligence capabilities, and then he suddenly remembered: "Gin sniped you before..."

Nagai Hikaru was confused for a moment, then he remembered: "That was a mistake, he admitted his mistake."

"…Can you admit your mistake?"

Nagai Hikaru shrugged helplessly and rubbed Conan's head: "What did Uncle Yusaku say to you on the Suzuki?"

"Let me be careful not to let Shinichi appear again." Conan sighed, "I have tried very hard. In addition to using Shinichi's voice when talking to Xiaolan on the phone, I only said this name to Hattori on the phone."

Conan lowered his head and swung his feet, recalling a warning from Kudo Yusaku: Be careful of Xiaoguang. Xiaoguang has been safe in the organization until now, and can still live an easy life in the intelligence team under Gin's supervision. It must not be just because of the special reasons you suspected. In order to protect himself, he must have done something to gain Gin's trust.

He may not hurt you, and may even protect you, but that doesn't mean he won't do other terrible things. It may even be for you, as the death of Vermouth is an example, and it may not be an isolated case.

Seeing that Conan was in a low mood, Nagai Hikaru raised his hand and hugged him into his arms and rubbed his head a few times: "Okay, I'll take you to have a midnight snack. What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever. By the way, I have an appointment with Mitsuhiko and the others to release fairy wands on the roof of Professor Agasa's house today."

"Then let's buy some octopus balls and go to Dr. Agasa's house together."

"Okay, let's buy some more Taiyaki." Conan smiled and looked up.

"Considering Yuantai's appetite, we have to buy more."
