Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Page 260

After realizing the gap between himself and Chen Anxia, ​​Shinichi Kudo felt discouraged and unwilling, but more than anything, he wanted to catch up with Chen Anxia.

Shinichi Kudo didn't want to wait until the future when he couldn't even see Chen Anxia's back on his path as a detective; that would be the most tragic thing.

Yusaku Kudo was rushing to finish his manuscript and didn't see Shinichi Kudo's message immediately, so he couldn't reply right away.

Meanwhile, Ran Mouri was already excitedly making a phone call with Sonoko Suzuki.

Upon learning that Ran Mouri had met Chen Anxia on the plane, Sonoko Suzuki immediately started shouting.

"Huh!? You guys actually ran into Anxia on the plane!"

"Ugh, if I had known, I would have shamelessly gone to Los Angeles with you guys!"

"Xiao Lan, do you think I'll be able to run into An Xia if I head to Los Angeles now?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri smiled helplessly and said, "Anxia came to Los Angeles for work. I heard his schedule is very full. Even if you come to Los Angeles, Anxia may not have time to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki said with some disappointment, "That's true, if I go, it will only disturb Anxia's work."

Ran Mouri sensed Sonoko Suzuki's disappointment and comforted her, "Don't worry, I've already made plans with Anxia. He'll ask us to get together once we return to Japan."

Upon hearing Ran Mouri's good news, Sonoko Suzuki's spirits lifted, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Really? Then I'll have to prepare myself properly..."

Afterwards, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki talked about the murder that happened on the plane and the terrifying deductive reasoning ability that Chen Anxia demonstrated in it.

Without a doubt, Sonoko Suzuki turned into a fangirl, constantly exclaiming in amazement and gushing over Ran Mouri's narration. She wished she could be there to witness Chen Anxia solving the case.

Because Sonoko Suzuki was so excited, even though Ran Mouri didn't put her phone on speakerphone, Shinichi Kudo could still hear Sonoko's excited and thrilled voice coming from time to time.

Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but roll his eyes at this.

In his mind, Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but think, 'Sonoko is hopeless; she's completely captivated by that guy.'

'However, ever since Sonoko fell in love with that guy at first sight two years ago, she's changed a lot. Not only has she stopped being a fangirl over handsome men, but her once carefree personality has also become more composed.'

'They say love can change a person, and that couldn't be more true for Sonoko.'

'And then there's Sonoko's bangs...'

Two years ago, when they parted ways at the ski resort, Chen Anxia casually said to Suzuki Sonoko, "Sonoko, you would definitely look better if you let your bangs down."

Shinichi Kudo was present at the time and knew that Chen Anxia did not mean to say that.

But Sonoko Suzuki took it to heart, and from then on, she never used a headband to hold her bangs back, choosing instead to let them fall naturally.

It has to be said that Sonoko Suzuki looks completely different with and without bangs.

Shinichi Kudo still clearly remembers being completely dumbfounded when he first saw Sonoko Suzuki with her bangs down.

Even Shinichi Kudo didn't immediately recognize Sonoko Suzuki; his heart raced as he thought, 'Where did this beauty come from? She's no less beautiful than Ran!'

When Shinichi Kudo later discovered that the beautiful woman, no less stunning than Ran, was actually Sonoko Suzuki, he was utterly shocked and couldn't accept the fact.

......

Chapter 387 A Coincidence of Fate, the Prelude to a Reunion!

After a series of tedious and rigorous extradition procedures, Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi finally extradited their target, the international criminal.

While waiting for his flight back to Japan, Inspector Megure reported the completion of his mission to his superior, Kiyoshi Matsumoto, the superintendent of the First Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga has a standard square face, and the scar above his left eye gives him a stern look, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

After hearing Inspector Megure's mission report, Kiyonaga Matsumoto said in a deep voice, "Although the extradition handover has been completed, the extradition is not truly finished yet."

"Remember, don't let your guard down on the return trip, and don't allow any accidents to happen."

Upon hearing Matsumoto Kiyonaga's powerful words, Inspector Megure straightened his back involuntarily and replied very seriously, "Yes, I understand!"

After hearing Inspector Megure's assurance, Matsumoto Kiyonaga said, "Well, thank you for your hard work on this trip. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

Upon hearing Matsumoto Kiyonaga's words, Inspector Megure immediately said, "Manager Matsumoto, please wait a moment. I have something else to report to you."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga was taken aback by his words, then replied in a deep voice, "Speak."

Without hesitation, Inspector Megure reported the details of the murder that occurred on the plane to Kiyonaga Matsumoto.

In this series, Inspector Megure's account of Chen Anxia's case-solving process is naturally given great emphasis.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga listened without saying a word until Inspector Megure finished his report, at which point he sternly rebuked him, "Inspector Megure, judging from your tone, you seem rather smug, don't you?"

"Did you catch the murderer? Did you solve the case? To actually ask a high school student who's completely ignorant for help, you've really disgraced the police!"

"That's not all, you even violated regulations by allowing a suspect with pre-existing charges to interfere in the case? Have you been in your position as inspector for too long? Have you forgotten the basic regulations?"

"Don't sleep on this trip back either. Think carefully and write me a letter of self-criticism!"

Without waiting for Inspector Megure's reply, Matsumoto Kiyonaga hung up the phone.

Upon seeing this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he immediately became dejected.

Because he was nearby, Takagi Wataru heard Matsumoto Kiyonaga's reprimand, and cold sweat had already involuntarily broken out on his forehead, his face showing signs of fear.

On the other side, Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who had just hung up the phone, looked even more stern than usual. His expression was solemn as he recalled the details of the case that Inspector Megure had mentioned and mentally simulated Chen Anxia's process of solving the case.

Finally, Matsumoto Kiyonaga let out a heavy sigh and muttered, "To possess such terrifying insight and reasoning ability, Chen Anxia is truly a frightening fellow."

"If someone like this commits a crime, if someone like this is going to oppose the police..."

Thinking about it, Matsumoto Kiyonaga couldn't help but shudder, his heart churning with unease, and he couldn't bear to imagine such a scene.

After calming down, Matsumoto Kiyonaga's face turned solemn, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and he murmured again, "If he can be used by the police, then after systematic training and development..."

"So in the future, he could very well become a crime nemesis, a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of all criminals..."

It must be admitted that Matsumoto Kiyonaga was smitten at that moment.

However, Matsumoto Kiyonaga quickly thought of Chen Anxia's age, occupation, and nationality, and his brows furrowed as he felt troubled.

Although Chen Anxia has great potential, there are still many problems if we really want to use Chen Anxia for the island nation's police.

The biggest problem, of course, is Chen Anxia's own wishes.

knock!knock!

"Manager Matsumoto, there is a document here that you would like to review!"

The sounds coming from outside the office made Matsumoto Kiyonaga temporarily put the matter to rest.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga has decided to find an opportunity to get in touch with Chen Anxia first.

......

In Los Angeles, at the villa of Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo.

Shinichi Kudo was watching a movie on the sofa while yawning vigorously.

The reason why Shinichi Kudo is so sleepy but hasn't gone to sleep is because Ran Mouri is still on a long-distance phone call with Sonoko Suzuki.

During this time, Shinichi Kudo tried to persuade Ran Mouri to end the call, citing the high cost of international phone calls.

However, after Sonoko Suzuki found out, she immediately offered to cover Ran Mouri's phone bills, allowing Ran to talk for as long as she wanted.

What could Shinichi Kudo possibly say to the incredibly powerful heiress of the Suzuki Group?

Of course, Shinichi Kudo could easily leave Ran Mouri behind and go to sleep by himself.

Since we are now at home, there is no need to worry about Ran's safety.

But listening to Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki's conversation, which almost entirely revolved around Chen Anxia, ​​how could Shinichi Kudo possibly feel at ease enough to go to sleep?

Therefore, fearing that he might miss some important information, such as news about a gathering, Shinichi Kudo forced himself to stay alert and kept eavesdropping on Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki's phone call.

During this time, Shinichi Kudo would occasionally pick up his phone to see if Yusaku Kudo had replied to his text messages.

Unfortunately, Yusaku Kudo never replied to the message.

Shinichi Kudo knew that Yusaku Kudo hadn't replied to messages for so long because he was fully focused on finishing his manuscript and had turned off his phone.

After checking his phone one more time, Shinichi Kudo yawned and tried to put it down.

Just then, Shinichi Kudo's cell phone suddenly rang.

The unexpected phone call startled Shinichi Kudo. After glancing at the caller ID, he answered, "Hello, Mom, what's up?"

"Shinichi, you and Ran need to go to the airport right now and take the fastest flight to New York. Remember, you have to be quick!" Yukiko Kudo said, not giving Shinichi a chance to speak, and hung up the phone immediately.

Seeing this, Shinichi Kudo was speechless.

But soon, Shinichi Kudo remembered something, and his eyes lit up.

Shinichi Kudo snatched Ran Mouri's phone and said to Sonoko Suzuki on the other end of the line, "Sorry, Sonoko, Ran and I have to catch our flight to New York. You can talk to us another time."

With that, Shinichi Kudo hung up the phone and, pulling a bewildered Ran Mouri along, boarded a plane bound for New York.

On the way, after understanding the reason, Ran Mouri did not blame Shinichi Kudo, and obediently followed Shinichi Kudo to New York.

Shinichi Kudo felt a sense of satisfaction at this, thinking to himself, 'Finally, I can get rid of that guy and stop having to listen to his nonsense...'

However, Shinichi Kudo was unaware that Chen Anxia and Watson had already boarded a plane to New York earlier.

Sometimes, fate is just that coincidental...

......

Chapter 388 Model Construction, New York's Serial Killer!

In New York, in a van rushing to a film shoot, soft music is playing on the car radio.

Chen Anxia was sitting in her seat, listening to soothing and gentle music while taking a short nap with her eyes closed.

Watson, who was standing nearby, was also listening to music and taking a short nap with his eyes closed.

Outside the car window, the dazzling sunset view of New York, so captivating that it's hard to look back, is constantly passing by.

Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng were both visiting New York for the first time, but they paid no attention to the beautiful scenery outside the car window.

The reason for this is that the filming schedule was indeed too tight, and they had to seize every opportunity to rest.

In this situation, a message suddenly came on the car radio.

In the message, the female radio host in the car said in a very serious and earnest tone, "I have just received a notification that the New York Police Department has mobilized a large number of officers to hunt down the notorious serial killer."

"In order to cooperate with the police's pursuit operation and for your own personal safety, please, especially women, try not to go out after nightfall."
