Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Page 252

Needless to say, this young man is Chen Anxia.

More than a year ago, with the release of "The Snow Woman's Plan", Chen Anxia, ​​with her outstanding appearance, unique temperament and peak acting skills, became an instant hit throughout the island nation and even gained considerable fame in neighboring countries.

Among these, Chen Anxia's ancestral homeland, the Chinese nation of Yanhuang, is particularly prominent.

In the following year or so, Chen Anxia's career in the entertainment industry went very smoothly, and he filmed two more mystery movies.

Unsurprisingly, both of Chen Anxia's films became the biggest box office hits of the moment.

Chen Anxia has thus become a box office guarantee, and with his ability to create realistic illusions, he is showing signs of becoming a leading figure in the acting world.

At the same time, Chen Anxia also used his detective role in the movie to make his detective image deeply rooted in the public's mind.

During these two years, Hua Sheng has been working as Chen Anxia's assistant, helping her with all sorts of things.

Because of Watson's presence, Chen Anxia was able to relax a lot.

Of course, Chen Anxia did not forget his mission in the world, nor did he give up the path of detective. In the past two years, he has been constantly absorbing knowledge that is helpful to detectives, such as criminal investigation and medicine.

However, Chen Anxia is not Shinichi Kudo after all, and does not possess Shinichi Kudo's special talent and abilities.

In the past two years, apart from the initial strange case at the ski resort, Chen Anxia has not encountered any other cases.

Although Chen Anxia is now a household name and a big star, it is obviously impossible for her to use that to interfere in a criminal case that has already been taken over by the police.

Chen Anxia has always maintained a calm attitude towards this.

In Chen Anxia's vision and plan, he would only officially embark on his detective career after the official start of the "Detective Conan" storyline, that is, after Shinichi Kudo became Conan Edogawa.

Chen Anxia was well aware of the saying, "Haste makes waste."

Furthermore, Chen Anxia also knew that his detective skills were too weak, and if he immediately embarked on the path of detective work, he would not be able to go far.

The reason he was able to solve the mysterious case at the ski resort was because the case relied more on his insight and logical thinking.

There is almost no demand for other skills, such as criminal profiling, trace evidence analysis, psychology, and medicine.

If the mysterious case at the ski resort at that time was more complex and involved knowledge from the above aspects, then it would undoubtedly have touched upon Chen Anxia's blind spots in knowledge.

Given Chen Anxia's resources and abilities at the time, even with all sorts of almost cheating abilities, he was unable to crack the code.

Therefore, Chen Anxia knew that only after accumulating enough knowledge and experience could he navigate the path of detective work without hindrance.

At this moment, in the VIP lounge, with Chen Anxia's arrival, the passengers who were already waiting for the plane couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia.

Although Chen Anxia was very well disguised, making it impossible to see her true face, and although they all had certain status and considerable experience, they were still unconsciously drawn to Chen Anxia.

The reason for this is that Chen Anxia's temperament is so unique that even they are seeing someone with such a unique temperament for the first time.

This also aroused their strong curiosity about Chen Anxia, ​​wondering what kind of person he was and why he possessed such a unique temperament.

Chen Anxia naturally noticed the gazes around her, but she didn't care. She went to a corner and sat down, then picked up a magazine and started flipping through it, waiting for Watson to arrive.

During these two years, although Hua Sheng stayed by Chen Anxia's side, he often appeared and disappeared mysteriously.

Chen Anxia was fully aware of this but did not expose it, while Hua Sheng assumed that Chen Anxia had not noticed and therefore did not care.

Because of Watson's elusive nature, the way Chen Anxia and Watson usually interact is that Watson, as Chen Anxia's assistant, plans Chen Anxia's future schedule in advance and then meets with Chen Anxia at the agreed time and place.

The same thing happened now, except that Chen Anxia arrived at the agreed location about 5 minutes early.

Chen Anxia knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Watson would arrive precisely in five minutes.

Time passed quickly, and five minutes went by in no time.

As Chen Anxia expected, Hua Sheng arrived at the VIP room on time.

Upon arrival, Hua Sheng immediately sat down next to Chen Anxia and routinely took out his schedule to check the itinerary, saying, "Our magazine photoshoot schedule is rather tight this time."

"Today's planned shooting schedule is two stops. The first stop is Los Angeles, and after that, we have to rush to the second stop, New York."

As for tomorrow...

Before Watson could finish speaking, Chen Anxia interrupted, "Watson, don't you know me? This information is already in my mind."

Without giving Hua Sheng a chance to answer, Chen Anxia changed the subject and asked, "By the way, did you read the criminal profiling book I asked you to read yesterday?"

Hua Sheng was already used to Chen Anxia's behavior and didn't take it to heart at all.

Watson simply put away the schedule and replied, "I've already read one-tenth of it, but because the content is too obscure, I haven't understood much of it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia immediately asked, "Where didn't you understand?"

Watson had already taken out the book on criminal profiling, flipped to the page he had marked, and pointed to a section, saying, "I don't quite understand this part."

Chen Anxia glanced at Hua Sheng and immediately said, "Predictive profiling is the most controversial type of criminal profiling."

"Unlike identifying a specific suspect based on evidence of a particular crime, predictive profiling attempts to speculate on what kind of person is likely to commit a crime that has not yet been committed..."

This is also the way Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng get along.

In this dynamic, Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng are teacher and student.

While Chen Anxia was answering Hua Sheng's questions, someone in the waiting room seemed to recognize Hua Sheng.

The person was a young and beautiful woman who was walking over hesitantly.

Upon approaching, the woman saw Watson's face clearly and finally confirmed his identity.

Then the woman looked excitedly at Chen Anxia, ​​who was covered up.

Just as the woman was about to cry out, Chen Anxia, ​​who had already noticed, smiled slightly at her and then put a finger to his lips, indicating that the woman should keep it a secret.

Upon seeing this, the woman covered her mouth with her hand and nodded vigorously with great excitement.

Then, the woman took out her notebook and pen and handed them to Chen Anxia with pleading and longing.

Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia immediately took the notebook and pen and wrote his signature on it.

Meanwhile, in the waiting area of ​​the airport terminal.

A young boy and girl are looking for an empty seat.

A moment later, the girl seemed to have noticed something, and said to the boy next to her with great enthusiasm, "Shinichi, there are seats here, let's sit here!"

The boy replied, "It doesn't matter where I sit."

As he spoke, the boy looked at the energetic girl and couldn't help but ask, "But Xiaolan, didn't you say you didn't sleep well last night? How come you're still so energetic?"

"Because I'm so excited and looking forward to it, this is my first time going to the United States..."

That's right, the boy and girl are Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri.

The gears of fate have begun to turn once more!

An unexpected encounter is about to unfold!

......

Chapter 376 First Encounter: Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi! (Please Subscribe!)

"Passengers traveling to Los Angeles, please note that boarding for your flight AG7766 is now commenced."

"Please take your personal belongings with you, show your boarding pass, and board the plane through gate 4."

Have a pleasant trip, thank you!

......

After hearing the announcements that were playing repeatedly in the airport, Hua Sheng packed his belongings, stood up, and said to Chen Anxia, ​​"We should go."

Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia stood up and followed Hua Sheng toward Gate 4.

On his way to Gate 4, Chen Anxia suddenly heard an interesting conversation coming from not far away.

"Takagi, wake up! Boarding is starting!"

"Oh, have they started checking in and boarding already?"

"Inspector Megure, you go to the boarding gate first, I'll be right there!"

......

Although Chen Anxia had roughly guessed the speaker's identity from the content of the conversation, he still looked in the direction of the voice.

Upon looking, Chen Anxia saw two unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar figures.

Chen Anxia knew that they were Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi.

Megure Juzo is an inspector in the Third Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and is also Wataru Takagi's superior.

In the original work, Inspector Megure trusted Shinichi Kudo very much and often relied on Shinichi Kudo to solve many criminal cases.

It can be said that Inspector Megure was a major help to Shinichi Kudo on his path to becoming a detective.

If Chen Anxia had someone like Megure Thirteen to help him, he would probably already be a well-known detective by now.

However, Chen Anxia also knew that the reason why Inspector Megure became an aid to Shinichi Kudo's detective career was partly because of Shinichi Kudo's Grim Reaper status, and partly because of Shinichi Kudo's father, Yusaku Kudo.

Before Shinichi Kudo, if Inspector Megure had any cases he couldn't solve, he would usually seek help from Yusaku Kudo.

From this perspective, Shinichi Kudo can be considered to have inherited Yusaku Kudo's network of connections, thus following in his father's footsteps.

Of course, Shinichi Kudo himself is also very capable; otherwise, even with connections like Juzo Inspector Megure, he wouldn't be able to truly make them his ally.

Thinking this, Chen Anxia's eyes flickered slightly, and she thought to herself, 'Judging from their appearance, they seem to be taking a flight to Los Angeles as well, but what are they going to Los Angeles for? Is it for a relaxing vacation?'

"No, leisure vacations are usually for family, but judging from their formal attire, they're probably going to Los Angeles on business."

So, were they there for exchanges between the police forces of the two countries? Or to extradite international criminals...?

While Chen Anxia was thinking, Watson noticed her unusual behavior and looked at Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi not far away, asking, "What's wrong? Are they people you know?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia snapped out of her reverie and gently shook her head, replying, "No, I just saw some interesting things."

As she spoke, Chen Anxia noticed something and couldn't help but ask, "Watson, take a closer look and see if you can figure out their professions?"

After hearing Chen Anxia's question, Watson did not hesitate at all and immediately began to observe Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi.

Over the past two years, Chen Anxia would often ask Hua Sheng similar questions randomly, so Hua Sheng had long been used to it.

In Hua Sheng's view, this was a test of Chen Anxia's accumulated detective skills.

Naturally, Hua Sheng wanted to pass Chen Anxia's test.

After careful observation, Watson said, "Tall men will subconsciously lower their posture in front of short men and take the initiative to stand behind the short men."
