Chapter 78: Testing and Being Hit

police station.

Thirty minutes had passed since Asakura Takaaki escaped.

Officer Fujisai returns from the hospital and takes back command.

"How's it going?"

He contacted the front-line police officers by phone.

"We are sure he is still in school, but there are so many people around that it will take time to find him."

Officer Fujisai nodded: "Pay attention to your own safety and the safety of the people, and evacuate in advance. If he is A, he will definitely not surrender, so be careful of his counterattack!"

"understand!"

Kudo Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at her son who was still frowning and comforted him, "Don't worry. Trust the police. Since they already know his identity, it's only a matter of time before they catch him."

Conan responded, his brows still furrowed.

In his opinion, before he can actually catch A, everything is an uncertain variable...

After all, would Su Beixun sit back and watch all this happen? What attitude does he hold towards his own works?

Anxiously waiting...

Mao Lilan was suddenly startled. She looked around and asked, "By the way, where is Officer Megure? I haven't seen him all day!"

Kudo Yusaku frowned when he heard that. He took out his cell phone and called Megure...

But no one answered for a long time.

"shit."

He looked solemn: "It seems that something else has happened in a place we don't know about!"

Conan looked at Officer Fujisai: "I remember... Officer Megure went to investigate at Su Beixun's former house."

Officer Fujisai nodded: "Yes, he asked me about all the residences of Su Beixun in Hokkaido before we parted yesterday. Since it was not top secret, I told him."

Conan's face changed slightly: "Could it be that... Officer Megure really ran into Su Beixun yesterday?!"

"Then we can't get in touch with them now... could it be possible?!"

There was also a haze in Kudo Yusaku's eyes. He and Megure had always been on good terms, and he couldn't help but worry at this moment: "Officer Fujisai, are there any extra police forces? Could you please send someone to check Su Beixun's residence, maybe there are some clues?"

Officer Fujisai took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I understand, I will transfer people from other places!"

Looking at the dark black door in front of him, Megure snapped his fingers.

This is the second room on the left side of the ninth floor of Building No. 3 in Qingshui Community.

He had already knocked on the doors of the two houses on the left side of the eighth floor.

One of the rooms is occupied by a family of three, with parents in their early 30s and a six-year-old daughter.

The other room was occupied by an elderly couple in their sixties, whose children were not around.

The first room on the left side of the ninth floor is currently empty, with no one in sight.

He didn't know if there was an A inside, or who A was... After all, he was just looking for an excuse to chat casually, and he didn't know these residents well enough.

He planned to check all four households and then interrogate the most likely one one by one.

While he was thinking.

The door in front of me creaked open.

A young man poked his head out from behind the door. He looked at Megure with some confusion: "Excuse me, who are you?"

High school student?
Megure's eyes fixed, but his face looked honest, and he said, "Hello, I'm a new resident, and I'm here to visit my neighbors."

The young man nodded, as if he didn't want to say more: "My name is Feng Jianwu, nice to meet you, goodbye."

He wanted to close the door, but Megure suddenly held it with his hand, smiling: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I just moved here and don't know anything, so I want to ask if the neighbors around you have any taboos?"

Feng Jian frowned and secretly exerted his strength: "Go find someone else, I have something to do now."

Megure knew that his behavior was very suspicious, but Kazama Satoru's identity as a high school student made him think more and made him eager to verify his guess.

"It seems like the other neighbors are not easy to get along with... Don't look at me like that, I'm actually a Chinese teacher, so when I see people your age, I feel very close to them."

As he explained, he held on to the door tightly, as if to say that he would not let go until you agreed.

Feng Jianwu looked at him deeply, hesitated for a moment, and compromised: "Okay, I can tell you, but only for twenty minutes... My parents will be home in twenty minutes, and they don't like strangers coming in."

Hearing the warning in his words, Megure bowed slightly: "Excuse me, I won't waste too much of your time."

He followed Kazama into the house, and under his guidance, sat on the sofa in the living room.

Megure looked at Kazama vaguely.

He was wearing loose home pajamas, which made him look a little thin, but his face was rosy and he seemed to be in good spirits.

He asked casually, "By the way, Fengjian, are you a student at Minzhi Middle School?"

Feng Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, and became more suspicious.

——Weren't you going to ask about the neighbors? It turned out to be just an excuse.

But he remained calm on the surface, turned around and went to the kitchen to make water for Megure, and replied: "Why do you say that? I am not a student at Minji Middle School. I am a student at Incheon Middle School." Incheon Middle School?

Megure thought secretly, he remembered that Incheon Middle School was a school not far from Minji Middle School.

When he was at school yesterday, he did not contact all the surviving students and was not sure whether Kazama was there.

Should I call Fujisai?
"That's it."

Megure nodded, but didn't fully believe it. He continued to test, "Today is Wednesday. I saw that you didn't go to school. I thought you were a student from Minzhi Middle School who was on holiday because of the poisoning case."

For his own good, he decided to do it himself.

"Ah... I was also surprised when I saw the newspaper today."

Fengjian placed the tea in front of Megure: "But I am not. The reason why I am at home today is because I caught a cold two days ago and took a leave. Since I haven't recovered completely, I will rest for a few more days."

Fengjian sat opposite him, picked up the water glass and took a sip.

The light green, clear tea exuded a refreshing fragrance. Having not had a drop of water for the whole morning, Memu felt a little thirsty, but he would never drink it.

Licking his dry lips, Megure thought, could Kazama be A? It's possible, at least more likely than the other two.

Then...try it again.

While his mind was wandering, Megure suddenly covered his mouth and coughed loudly, and then, as if unconsciously, he spat on the floor beside him.

Fengjian clenched his hand holding the cup for a moment, then quickly loosened it.

"Sorry, my throat suddenly feels uncomfortable."

Megure looked into his eyes and apologized, seemingly sincerely, but in fact he was carefully discerning the emotions in his eyes.

Nausea, discomfort, anger...

This is normal, and ordinary people would feel the same way if they encountered this situation.

However, he didn't find any murderous intent at all!
Guessed wrong?

According to A's character as described by Su Beixun, it shouldn't be just like this.

"I'm sorry, my parents will be back soon. How about you leave first and come back when you're free?"

Fengjian frowned as he saw the guest off. Although he felt disgusted in his heart, he still tried his best to appear calm.

"Ah, sorry!"

Megure seemed to realize that his behavior just now was rude, so he didn't insist. He took out a tissue, bent down to wipe the saliva, then stood up and said goodbye.

Fengjian nodded but did not see him off.

Megure turned his back, with some confusion in his eyes.

But he didn't give up just like that.

No matter what, he still felt that Feng Jianwu was the most suspicious.

But now his parents were about to return home, and he couldn't stay and force them to give him information.

He is now going to Incheon Middle School to investigate Feng Jianwu to see if what he said is true. If there is any discrepancy, it will be proof that there is something wrong with him!

By then, he would be able to feel at ease and find an opportunity to take him away for interrogation information!

After making a decision secretly, Megure grasped the door handle and turned it gently.

laugh!
There was a sudden sharp pain in the palm of my hand!
Megure subconsciously let go and lowered his head.

He saw a silver needle pop out from the door handle as he turned it!
The needle-shaped wound on the palm of his hand also began to ooze blood!
"Damn!!"

Megure's pupils shrank sharply.

There is no doubt that there is something coated on this needle!
Great!
I was still too careless!

He thought that as long as he didn't eat or drink anything, there would be no problem, but he didn't expect to get infected here!
The mechanism is actually hidden in the door handle!

He turned around suddenly, took out the gun from his arms and raised his hand to shoot.

He can be sure now! Feng Jianwu must be A!

But...it's too late!
His body no longer has any strength left!
The vision in front of his eyes gradually blurred. Megure staggered against the wall, gasping for breath, and felt his body as heavy as if he was carrying a stone on his back.

Is it an anesthetic?!

He gritted his teeth and didn't have time to be glad that it was not poison. He clenched his fist to pinch the wound on his hand, hoping to use the pain to regain consciousness.

But...it doesn't work!
The darkness that quickly spread from the surroundings to the center of his sight made him realize that the concentration of the anesthetic was definitely not low!
——At least... let me die with him! In this way, I still haven't accomplished anything, right?!
Although he was filled with resentment, Megure was still powerless and fainted on the ground.

Feng Jianwu put down the cup of water he was holding and looked at the collapsed figure on the ground with a cold look.

"I modified the mechanism to kill Su Beixun. I didn't expect it to be recyclable here."

He snorted in dissatisfaction, grabbed Megure's collar and pulled him into the house.

Now, he wants to investigate who this person is and find out how he got here.

Jingle ~

The cell phone in Megure's pocket kept ringing, but Kazema Satoru ignored it. After it hung up automatically, he pulled out the SIM card and turned off the phone.
