Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1440 1440【Why for Bourbon】

Toru Amuro read this passage over and over again, feeling that it had nothing to do with him, and couldn't explain Jiang Xia's strange behavior just now.

So he tentatively analyzed: "It sounds like those who threatened him entered his house, and in order to escape, he wanted to jump from his balcony to the roof of the opposite building, but he couldn't stand firmly and fell down?"

Jiang Xia was about to nod.

But at this moment, next to him, Conan's gaze suddenly sharpened.

He pushed his glasses, and a flash of light flashed through the lenses: "Uncle Amuro, you have never entered the house of the deceased, why do you think he would flee from the balcony to the opposite building? Are you familiar with the environment of these two buildings?" ?”

Toru Amuro: "..." Is it an illusion, I always feel that this little kid loves to target him.

It is true that he has never entered the house of the deceased, but no matter whether he is a policeman, a member of an organization, or both a policeman and a member of an organization... After coming to a new environment, it is the most important thing to first observe the terrain and find out various hidden routes. Basic instinct.After all, he has to make sure that he can escape at any time, or take a shortcut to chase people at any time.

Compared with the various complex environments he had seen before, the small apartment in front of him was simply the most elementary level of difficulty.

Toru Amuro: "..." But if he really said this reason, I'm afraid Conan will ask again.

Although there is no actual damage, it is also annoying to be pestered by a child asking "why, why, why?" Looking at it this way, Jiang Xia is really patient, and she is willing to play with this talkative child.

While thinking about it, he perfunctoryly said with irrefutable reasons: "When I was looking at the house before, this apartment was also in the range of my choice, so I have seen the schematic diagram here, and even came in with the agent to actually check it out. "

Conan: "..."

He couldn't find anything related to today's case, so he died down for the time being.

Jiang Xia patiently waited for them to finish fighting, and regretfully found that the murderous smell of coffee did not increase, so he could only continue what he said just now: "But the strange thing is that after entering the room of the deceased, we found that the door was locked, and there were no traces of fighting in the room." Nobody else seemed to be in there. And the deceased didn't seem very anxious - he even got a bottle of bourbon to drink himself."

Toru Amuro: "?!"

... bourbon? ?

He is extremely sensitive to this word. After all, this is his code name in the organization. It has been used for a long time, and it is as familiar as the name.

Hearing this, Toru Amuro finally understood why Jiang Xia's expression was so strange just now - this clever subordinate laid the groundwork so much, just to say "Bourbon" naturally when there are others present thing.

Toru Amuro: "..." It would be fine if there was only a bottle of bourbon on the table, but now, this "bourbon" of myself appeared around the scene around the time of the incident.

In addition, the deceased was "recently being threatened by a group of mysterious people"... The addition of various clues, from Jiang Xia's point of view, this is really a coincidence.

Perhaps Jiang Xia thought that the deceased was the target of "Bourbon" and there was an organization involved in this matter, so he tentatively asked him.

Toru Amuro also felt that the incident was too coincidental and that there might be hidden secrets behind it.

But fortunately, his expression management ability has always been good, and the vigilance in his heart was not shown on his face.

Following Jiang Xia's words, he murmured: "There is such a thing. It seems that this is more like a premeditated murder case than an accident—be careful, I'll go to the fifth floor to check the situation first."

Saying that he didn't stay any longer, he left in a hurry.

……

Wait for the sound of his footsteps to go away completely.

Conan couldn't help whispering to Jiang Xia: "Have you noticed that Boss Amuro always seems to be working near the crime scene?"

Jiang Xia gave him a complicated look.

After being stared at by him like this, Conan regained consciousness belatedly, and was silent for a while: "..." Well, throwing away all kinds of colored glasses, in terms of the probability of appearing at the scene of the crime, Jiang Xia and Uncle Mao Li are more likely than Boss Amuro is way too high.

Doubt is doubt, and you must be rational and objective when looking at people and things.At least in this case, there was one person who was obviously more suspicious than Boss Amuro.

Thinking of this, Conan temporarily withdrew his attention from Toru Amuro, and turned to look at Room 601.

- "Kanda" is written on the name bar, which is exactly the place where the client lives.

"Go in and see?"

As Jiang Xia said, she stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

The doorbell made a muffled click, but no music came out.

Jiang Xia was slightly taken aback, and withdrew her hand: "It seems to be broken, let's knock on the door."

He was about to knock, but before he started, he suddenly remembered the vigilant look of Dr. Kanda when he faced Toru Amuro just now.

So he turned to stand on the other side, and whispered to Conan: "You knock. Children are easier to let people relax."

Conan: "..." The two of them are here to investigate the case, but now it seems that they are trying to trick the door into doing bad things...

But the identity of a child is really useful, so thinking about it, Conan didn't refuse any more.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door, accompanied by the innocent child's voice: "Uncle Kanda, Uncle Kanda! Are you at home? Uncle Kanda!"

After knocking for nearly a minute, Dr. Kanda finally responded.

He hurried to the door, and pushed open the door, which was tied with an anti-theft chain, a palm-width crack.

A child's face appeared outside the door.

Seeing him, the child smiled innocently: "Uncle, can you give me a glass of water? I wanted to get water downstairs to drink, but Uncle Mao Li punched me and told me not to mess with the things in the house. But I'm so thirsty."

While talking, he couldn't help but look at the stairs with a guilty conscience: If Uncle Mao Li heard about this pot, he might get another punch.

Dr. Kanda saw that there was only a child at the door, so he didn't become suspicious.He remembered his gentle image and did not refuse the request.

Soon, he closed the door for a while, took off the anti-theft chain, opened the door, and said kindly, "Come in."

"Thank you uncle!"

Conan trotted into the house.

Dr. Kanda was about to close the door, but unexpectedly found another person behind the child.

Facing his shocked gaze, Jiang Xia showed a friendlier smile than him: "I'm sorry, because the menacing people who caused the deceased to fall may still be nearby, I was worried that something might happen to the child if he ran around alone, so I followed him— —You are such a nice person, you must not mind."

Dr. Kanda's forehead twitched violently, and he really wanted to repent immediately and pack the two of them up and throw them out, lest they find some unfavorable traces in his room.

... But the matter has come to this point, doing so will only show his suspicion.

Instead, give them a glass of water, and then send them away quickly, so that it is less likely to expose yourself.
