Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 227 Jiang Xia What Did You Steal!
Especially this episode.

Jiang Xia saw the name "Kusaburo Hijikata" on the list.

Kozaburo Hijikata is a famous Taiga opera actor, and his status in the entertainment industry is not low.But recently he has been entangled in scandals, and some innocuous negative news has been exposed. Although he will not be banned, his popularity is indeed declining.

In order to make a living, Kozaburo Hijikata also began to accept TV dramas and various variety shows like ordinary actors.

Soon, Tufang will participate in the filming of a reasoning drama, so he accepted the invitation of this reasoning variety show by the way.

……

In Jiang Xia's impression, Hijikata Kosaburo's more important identity is the murderer's potential stock.

The negative news that Hijikata Kosaburo was exposed is not all fabricated - he has indeed broken up with his wife.

Kosaburo Hijikata has a lot of flirting with women and grass in his daily life, and his wife Yumi Hijikata is also doing the same, cheating on his neighbor Okita Kazu.And she also has evidence of her husband's derailment, and plans to ask for high alimony when she divorces.

Kosaburo Hijikata was murdered by his wife because of this.

In the original world line, he invited Mori Kogoro to his home under the pretext of "I will be acting in a detective drama soon, and I want to see how real detectives usually work." The murderer's pot was thrown to the neighbors.

……

Jiang Xia came to the studio and soon found Kozaburo Hijikata among a group of people.

Sure enough, there was a lot of murderous intent on this person. It seemed that he had already made a decision and thought of a way to kill him, but he was still waiting for the opportunity.

Sitting next to the famous actor, Jiang Xia looked at the murderous look on his neighbor, and was a little moved.

He also wanted to be invited by Hijikata Kosaburo to be a witness tool...

However, after looking at each other, Hijikata Kozaburo gave Jiang Xia a polite but indifferent smile, and then the middle-aged actor turned to talk to the actor sitting on the other side of him.There was no intention of inviting Jiang Xia to be a guest at home.

Jiang Xia who was left hanging: "..."

...I shouldn't have dragged the progress bar so fast in order to save trouble.

Let's lay the groundwork from now on, find reasons such as "pursuing rigor" and "adopting a more secure approach to solving cases", and slowly slow down the speed...

However, Jiang Xia also wanted to try to get involved with Hijikata Kosaburo's case.

——The murderous man was sitting next to him, what was the difference between this and a wild ghost swimming by.

If you can squeeze it, of course you still have to squeeze it.

Of course, if you want to achieve your goal, you can't just sit here and wait passively, you need to take some proactive measures.

……

In the second half of the show, there is a reasoning game.

Variety shows in this world don't have too detailed scripts, and of course they don't reveal the answers to the guests in advance. If the famous detectives who are invited don't want to lose face, they can only go all out to solve the puzzles.

Jiang Xia thought for a while, and let Xiaobai float to the backstage.

Xiaobai found the script not very proficiently. After it sent a message, Jiang Xia cut his eyesight, glanced at the question and answer, and wrote it down.

Afterwards, halfway through the recording of the show, Jiang Xia temporarily left the studio during a break on the way.

He came to a place where no one was around, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote something on the paper.

……

Kozaburo Hijikata also left the studio during the break and went to the bathroom far away from the studio.

He used to come here when he was resting, to admire himself in the mirror, to relax, and to see if there was anything inappropriate in his attire.

This time, however, there was another person in the bathroom.

——Jiang Xia was originally reciting something intently with his head down, when he suddenly saw someone entering the door, he put his hands behind his back in a little panic, looked at the door, and greeted awkwardly.

Kosaburo Hijikata keenly sensed a hint of guilt from this young man's face.

As an old fritter who has been in the entertainment circle for a long time, Hijikata Kosaburo looked at Jiang Xia carefully and felt that it was tricky.

He approached while talking in the tone of a senior.The bathroom is not too big, and soon, Kosaburo Hijikata saw the piece of paper that Jiang Xia hid behind him in the mirror.

The text on the paper is too small to read clearly.

But Kozaburo Hijikata saw a schematic diagram.

He looked at the picture suspiciously, but before seeing too much, Jiang Xia seemed to realize something, he hid the note in his sleeve, and left in a hurry.

……

Jiang Xia walked out of the bathroom.While the door was closing behind him, he also put away the panicked look of "breaking the secret" just now.

Then he came to the smoking area, lit the paper just now, the ashes rushed into the sewer, and returned to the studio as if nothing had happened.

Before the filming started, Kozaburo Hijikata also came.

Soon, the show began the main event - on-the-spot reasoning.

In addition to the performances of the actors, a floor plan of the crime scene also appeared on the big screen for easy understanding.The picture shows a private villa with a special shape, oval in shape.

Kosaburo Hijikata looked at the picture on the screen, and after being startled for a moment, he suddenly understood—this kind of sketch was drawn on the piece of paper that Jiang Xia hastily hid just now!
He has a question in his hand, and judging by his posture, he must have an answer!
...that's what happened.

While others were concentrating on recording the program, Kozaburo Hijikata touched his chin and thought to himself.

No wonder Jiang Xia can answer the questions so smoothly every time on the show. It turns out that this person has the answers in his hands.

As for why Jiang Xia can always see through the criminal's thinking when he actually solves the case... Maybe it's because he has a company behind him.

——The black and white reports in newspapers cannot be broadcast live like a program, and they are basically static.

Therefore, no matter how slow the actual speed of solving the case is, as long as the main points of the case are sorted out afterwards and a little modification is made in the time of solving the case, anyone can "solve the case in seconds."

The police probably won’t pursue this kind of thing—no matter how quickly Jiang Xia or the brains behind him solve the case, at least he really helped the police solve the case. It’s actually not that fast.” And so on.

The more Kosaburo Hijikata thought about it, the more he felt that the truth must be like this. Jiang Xia had no real talent and learning at all, and relied entirely on the company to support him.

He couldn't help showing contempt in his eyes - these young people who have no strength and only rely on their appearance, tui!

However, Kozaburo Hijikata did not intend to expose Jiang Xia.

——A detective with a great reputation but not worthy of the name and no real talents is exactly the resource he needs urgently recently.

Sure enough, when people's bad luck comes to an end, they will have good luck.

Kosaburo Hijikata didn't want to pay high alimony, let alone being exposed by his wife about his cheating, which would affect his popularity.He must kill that woman.

In this case, Jiang Xia, a well-known detective, is obviously a very suitable witness.
