Chapter 103 Fire
Conan did not ask about the accuracy of this matter, nor did he ask how Ze Yu knew about this matter, because he knew that even if he asked, Ze Yu would not answer.
In short, Ze Yu has a special source of information, and Conan knows that he doesn't need to delve into it too deeply, nor does he need to know too many things he shouldn't know.
He just needs to trust the other person.
Thinking of this, Conan called the police.
He didn't have a cell phone with him, and all the phone calls in the library were unreachable, but Ze Yu would not forget to bring his cell phone.
After all, Ze Yu is the boss of the Fang Group. It would be too embarrassing if he even forgot to bring his cell phone. He would not make such a common mistake.
Conan used Sawaha's cell phone to call the police. Not long after, Officer Megure arrived at the scene and took away the unconscious Director Tsukawa.
This incident was officially declared over.
…………
The next day is the weekend.
Early in the morning, Dr. Agasa took Conan and Haibara Ai to visit Professor Hirota.
Ze Yu stayed at home and slept in.
The red Beetle arrived at the door of Hirota's house. Dr. Agasa reached out and knocked on the door: "Excuse me."
"You are Mr. Asheng, right?"
A fat lady opened the door, with a smile on her face, and said enthusiastically: "My husband is waiting for you in the living room. Please come this way."
This fat lady is Professor Hirota’s wife.
Professor Agasa greeted them, and the fat lady led the way, and they followed behind into the living room.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room was an elderly man. He was a little bald, but looked very energetic.
Seeing Dr. Agasa coming, Professor Hirota also stood up and shook hands with Dr. Agasa with a smile on his face.
"You are Mingmei's friend, the famous Professor Agasa, right? Nice to meet you."
"No." Dr. Agasa said modestly.
Everyone sat down and prepared to communicate.
"Huh?" Conan suddenly sniffed his nose and frowned: "What a strange smell..."
Huiyuan Ai also noticed it and reacted: "This smell is..."
She looked back with wide eyes, and saw a flame flash in the direction of the kitchen, and then it became more and more vigorous.
"on fire!"
Everyone was shocked.
…………
Due to an accident, a fire broke out in the kitchen, and soon the whole house was set on fire.
Fortunately, everyone reacted in time and escaped from the house, so there were no casualties, but the entire house was burned down by the fire.
Conan and Haibara Ai were both silent.
With such an accident happening right in front of us, not only was there no way to find the floppy disks, the entire house was reduced to rubble, and those floppy disks must have also become a pile of useless waste.
Conan's hope of becoming an adult was once again shattered before his eyes, but he had no way to stop it.
The fire was so big that even though they tried their best to put it out, it was of no use. They could only watch helplessly as the fire covered the entire house.
By the time the fire truck arrived, it was too late. Because of this incident, Professor Hirota no longer wanted to continue entertaining guests, so Dr. Agasa and his friends had no choice but to go home.
After returning to Dr. Agasa's house, the first thing Conan did was to find Ze Yu and wake him up from his sleep.
"Why are you bothering me here instead of going to Professor Hirota's house?" Ze Yu, who was woken up, rubbed his hazy eyes and said unhappily.
Conan's shaking disturbed his sweet dream, which made Ze Yu a little angry and he wanted to get up in a bad mood.
"Professor Hirota's house caught fire." Conan said with a grim expression: "The disks were all burned by the fire."
"Ah?" Ze Yu widened his eyes, a little confused.
He was also surprised by the news.
The fire at Hirota's house had nothing to do with Ze Yu because he had been sleeping.
However, the fire at Hirota's house prevented Conan from getting the disk, which is the same as the ending in the original book.
Is this the corrective force of the world?
It should not be.
Ze Yu thought for a while and said, "I think the fire at Hirota's house was set by the Black Organization."
"Is it them?" Conan's face became even uglier.
In fact, even Ze Yu is not quite sure whether they did it or not, but the Black Organization itself is used to take the blame, isn’t it?
No matter who did it, or whether it was a natural accident, just blame it on the Black Organization.
What's more, Vodka once disguised himself as an ordinary person and contacted Professor Hirota. The fire in their house might really have been set by Vodka.
However, this time the accident was a fire, not an explosion as usual. This was a bit inconsistent with the Black Organization's usual style, and this was also what confused Ze Yu.
If it was the Black Organization that took action, there should have been an explosion, but it doesn’t matter. Whether they set the fire or not, Ze Yu said yes, so it was them who set the fire.
After all, Ze Yu is a rather willful person.
The Black Organization is such a huge existence, and they are the enemy of the protagonist Conan. It would be a shame if they didn't take the blame. Ze Yu will not let them go easily.
In addition, probably because no one died in this incident, Haibara Ai did not experience too much emotional fluctuation, so she did not cry loudly like in the original work, but was as calm as usual.
There is one famous scene missing...
Ze Yu didn't feel it was a pity, because he didn't want to see Haibara Ai cry.
…………
During the following period of time, Ze Yu's life returned to a rare state of peace, but such days only lasted for a few days.
On this day, Conan was invited by Sonoko to hold a party in her villa deep in the mountains.
In fact, the person Sonoko wanted to invite was Xiaolan, and Conan was just an incidental child.
Conan told Zeyu about this, which made Zeyu very interested and wanted to attend the party.
If Ze Yu guessed correctly, this gathering should be the one about the "Villa Bandage Monster Incident".
Ze Yu decided that for this party, he would not attend as a child, but as a 20-year-old adult, which would be more interesting.
He restored his body to that of a 20-year-old, wearing a white shirt, and waited for Sonoko at the gate of Teitan University after school, with Xiaolan beside her.
"Mr. Ershiyu?" Xiaolan and Sonoko both looked at Zeyu curiously, not understanding why he came.
As soon as she saw Ze Yu's stunning face, Sonoko started to become a little infatuated with him as usual, but she was reminded by Xiaolan and quickly returned to normal.
After all, no matter what, even Sonoko felt that it was inappropriate to act like a fangirl in front of the person she liked. She felt that she should maintain a quiet and elegant demeanor so as to leave a good impression on the other person.
