Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1066 1066【You are exposed】Ask for a monthly pass o(〃'▽'〃)o
While speaking, Mumu Police Department approached.

Jiang Xia turned his head and saw this police department who was very good at asking for help. At some point, he brought a loose-leaf book and handed it to him enthusiastically:
"Come on, please help me take a look, this is the relevant information we have collected - if you can find the murderer, we will lure that person out, hold him down and arrest him, so we don't have to worry about a third murder."

Jiang Xia: "..."

He looked at his watch and found that there was still a little time to leave the field.

So like a dedicated detective, I took the booklet and opened a page at will.

The profile of the first deceased was revealed on it, and a photo was pasted on the upper left corner—it was a bald, middle-aged man with low brows, wide eyes, and greasy nose. He looked inexplicably dark and wretched.

Jiang Xia quickly remembered: "Rep. Damu?"

A while ago, when I followed Mori Kogoro to visit this building, this Mr. Oki once came drunk and shook his hand—Jiang Xia remembered that this man’s wife raised a smart border collie, which often lost its way. Squatting at the door of the detective agency waiting to be picked up, it is much cuter than its male owner.

"That's right, Oki Iwamatsu, a member of Nishitama City Councilor."

Miwako Sato pointed to the building diagonally above:

"The body was found five days ago in the hotel suite on the 67th floor of Building B. The time of death was between 10:0 and [-]:[-] the night before. The murder weapon was probably a knife, but nothing matching was found at the scene.

"In addition, beside the deceased's hand, there was a precious small wine glass upside down. It was split in the middle and divided into two - at first we thought that this might be Mr. Oki's message before his death, used to hint the murderer's identity Unexpectedly, something similar appeared in the second case soon... This is actually a 'token' left by the murderer."

……

"I remember this incident. I was there when Mr. Damu checked into the hotel last week." Thinking of this case, Jiang Xia felt that the police were still too reserved, so he politely criticized, "Why didn't you call me in advance?"

Mumu Police Department: "..." You can't really call the detective as soon as there is a murder case.The police also want to save face. You have to work hard first, and if you encounter a bottleneck or something, then go to ask for advice... Ahem.

He cleared his throat: "At that time, we actually already had a suspect, and we planned to focus on the investigation. Who knew that before we could ask anything, there was a second murder case—the second case, which had nothing to do with you directly." relationship, I forgot to ask you."

Jiang Xia flipped through the booklet in her hand, and saw the information of the second deceased:

Yuan Jiaming, chief programmer of the Tokiwa Foundation.In the photo, his hair was unexpectedly thick, and he was wearing a pair of round-rimmed glasses, which looked familiar to him—he was also one of the people Jiang Xia had seen the last time he came to this building.

Jiang Xia: "..." How could it have no direct relationship with me?Isn't this a traitor organized by us... In my impression, it is because Yuan Jiaming bravely used the company computer to send the organization's information, and now the computer room of the Twin Towers in West Tama City is included in the organization's must-bomb list.

……

"On the second day after Mr. Oki's death, the courier went to Mr. Yuan's house to deliver the courier and found the door was open. He looked in through the crack of the door and saw the deceased lying beside the dining table, dying with regret.

"Ya Ming Yuan died from a gunshot. Next to him, there was also a small wine cup that was split in two. Before he died, he seemed to be trying to fight the murderer, but unfortunately..." Miwako Sato shook her head, "The speed of the table knife, Nothing compares to a gun."

Jiang Xia looked at the information booklet in his hand, and there was a photo of the crime scene on it—Yuan Jiaming was indeed holding a silver table knife in his hand.

In the next few photos, there is a set of close-ups of the upside-down wine cup that is the "serial killer's token".

Judging from the photos, when the small wine cup was found, it was upside down in a pool of blood.But after picking it up, there wasn't much blood on the rim of the cup—it seemed that it was put there after the blood had coagulated.

"This shows that the person who left the small wine glass and the person who killed Yuan Jiaming are not the same person—the real murderer of the second phase of the case is not the murderer who killed Councilor Oki, but someone else."

Jiang Xia should have said so.

But he didn't.

... First of all, as a high school student detective who is calm and not afraid to report, even if he finds doubts on the way to "solve the case", he seldom points them out, but waits for the evidence to be complete before talking about it together.

In addition, Jiang Xia remembered that Yuan Jiaming was actually beaten to death by Qin Jiu.

The deceased firmly held the table knife in his hand, not to fight to the death with the gunman, but to use the "GIN" of the silver table knife to refer to "gin" - the pronunciation of "银" is "ギン" ", written in Roman characters is "GIN", which happens to be the code name of gin.

Gin and vodka didn't take the knife away when they cleaned up the aftermath, probably because they couldn't connect the two immediately.

Although this is considered a mistake, it is not a big problem.

——In this world, how many people would think of "the murderer is gin!" just because "the deceased was holding a handful of silver objects before death"?

Just as this thought flashed through my mind, the next second, a low voice "...GIN." suddenly came from beside me.The emotions involved are very complicated.

Jiang Xia: "...?"

He turned his head silently, and saw Conan——Student Kudo climbed onto the stone lion next to him at some point, and was condescendingly peeking at the case information in his hand.

"..." Jiang Xia raised her hand, skillfully grabbed Conan by the collar, and lifted him to the ground, "...don't step on public property."

After a pause, he asked suspiciously, "What did you just say?"

Conan came back to his senses, remembered the name he blurted out just now, was startled, and continued what he said just now as if nothing had happened:
"...I mean human life is really fragile. Such a tall and strong person can only die by a hot weapon without any resistance."

Miwako Sato looked at him in surprise: This elementary school student is quite thoughtful...

She came back to her senses, ignored the kid who suddenly entered in disorder, and continued the topic just now:

"In short, according to various investigations, in the first case, we locked in a total of five suspects - Chairman Tokiwa, her secretary Ms. Chinami Sawada, painter Kizukimine Mizu, Hara Jiaming, and the designer of the building Hidehiko Kazama."

After a pause, she crossed out Yuan Jiaming again: "Of course, there are only four now."

Jiang Xia looked at the photos of the remaining four people politely, and nodded: "I will pay more attention, and if I notice something abnormal, I will contact you as soon as possible."

Conan was also on tiptoe, trying to peek at the suspect's photo.

But after listening to Miwako Sato, he found that he knew all of these people—it was the few relevant people he met when he came to visit the building last week, so he stopped doing the useless work of peeking.
