Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 249 The way to confuse Jiang Xia

the other side.

Jiang Xia can at least guess some of Hijikata Kosaburo's brain supplements, not to mention a complete understanding.

To be honest, he was really worried before, because he was afraid that this person was too cautious, and the cheating incident last time would not be able to scare him.

But fortunately, probably there are not many well-known but weak detectives in this world, so Kozaburo Hijikata didn't have so many options. In the end, he still got involved in this incident.

After Jiang Xia answered the text message, she put down her phone, and remembered the exhortation of "don't mix with strange people".

So he silently looked at Mao Lilan who happened to be charging the skateboard at the doctor's house and who happened to come to pick Conan home.

... Such a polite and sensible elementary school student, such a delicate and cute high school girl, must not be considered a strange person, right?

Moreover, Mao Lilan seems to be an omnivorous groupie, but she wants to chase anyone who is a bit famous, asking for an autograph or something.Such an invitation should not be declined.

……

The next day, Kozaburo Hijikata came to a coffee shop near his home and found Jiang Xia.

Then it was a little surprising to find that next to Jiang Xia was a beautiful girl of the same age as him, and there was also a little boy.

...inexplicably gives people a feeling of dragging their mouths.

Hijikata Kosaburo was still secretly complaining that Jiang Xia didn't listen to advice and brought people here casually.

But when he and the high school girl looked at each other and saw the sparkling eyes of adoration, he silently swallowed back his complaints.

...After all, they are still a group of children, unable to resist the temptation to meet veteran actors in person.Moreover, if Jiang Xia is really an idiot, then maybe he didn't understand the hint in his invitation text message at all, but really simply thought that today he was here as a detective guide for him, so he couldn't help showing off to his classmates. I was invited by a celebrity, and then I showed off and brought my classmates over.

As an actor who is striding on the road of passing, Hijikata Kosaburo actually does not dislike this kind of behavior, and is even slightly happy.

His face softened, and he thought to himself, when the case is over, he will send each of these students a signed group photo.

After a brief self-introduction, Hijikata Kozaburo stood up kindly, and adjusted his sunglasses: "It's not convenient to talk here, come to my house."

Jiang Xia nodded and got up.

Mao Lilan touched the autograph book in her bag excitedly, and followed happily.

After drinking the coffee in his cup, Conan put down the cup, also a little curious - it is said that Kozaburo Hijikata invited Jiang Xia to come over, and he wanted Jiang Xia to teach him some detective skills, so that he can show a more realistic reaction when filming detective dramas in the future.

Conan was thinking, in this regard, what can Jiang Xia teach? After all, in terms of time length, Jiang Xia is just a very junior detective, so he should have no experience... Could he teach that kind of high-speed crime-solving skills?
In that case, he would also like to learn... Conan touched the video camera in his bag - if he couldn't learn it on the spot, he would take a picture and figure it out slowly.

……

Kosaburo Hijikata's home is in a high-end apartment.

The apartment faces the river and has a nice view.

To avoid possible reporters, Hijikata took them into the apartment through the back door and pressed the elevator.

The elevator quickly came to the first floor, and as soon as the door opened, a person came down from inside—it was a young handsome guy with a headscarf and dyed yellow hair.

Jiang Xia had never seen this person before, but she vaguely guessed his identity based on the spoiler and his clothes.

Mao Lilan knew her, she lowered her voice, and excitedly whispered to Jiang Xia: "It's Okitaichi! That very popular actor, he actually lives here!"

Hijikata Kosaburo suddenly met this pretty boy who had taken a liking to him, and his face twisted.

However, as an old actor, he quickly adjusted his mentality and greeted him friendly: "Go out."

"Well, let's go to the convenience store." Okita Kazu didn't mean to act in front of the guests, he knew exactly what Hichikata Kozaburo wanted to ask, and said straight forward, "Don't think too much, I will be back at the appointed time."

Hearing this, Jiang Xia thoughtfully stopped talking and pretended not to be interested.

Hijikata Kosaburo finally invited him here, and before he got what he wanted to pick up, he decided to avoid all topics that might arouse Hijikata's vigilance.

Mao Lilan didn't have so many worries, and asked suspiciously: "Appointment time?" But this afternoon, didn't Mr. Tukata make an appointment with Jiang Xia?

"Haha, yes." Hijikata Kozaburo was a little embarrassed, and after Okita left, he explained, "I just... plan to discuss with him about his and my wife—the two neighbors said a few words, and those The reporter wrote about cheating, so let it go like this. After all, we have been neighbors for so many years. If this matter is handed over to the company, I always feel hurt. So I want to discuss it in private first-our appointment is in the evening, so I won’t be delayed. Ask Jiang Xia for detective skills."

At this time, Mao Lilan belatedly remembered the gossip about "Ms. Hijikata suspected of derailing Okitaichi", realized that she had asked a bad question, smiled apologetically, and then fell silent.

Several people entered the elevator silently.

Silence is the apartment tonight.Green always makes people feel peaceful.

Kozaburo Hijikata really wanted to keep silent like this, but he couldn't.

He could only force himself to block the elevator button with his body, press the button, then turn around and distribute business cards to several people.

Although he didn't pay much attention to Jiang Xia, after all, this was his carefully planned method, and he still had to make sufficient preparations.

Jiang Xia glanced at the electronic screen showing the floor while Hijikata Kosaburo lowered his head.

The electronic screen is as big as two palms, with a black bottom and seven horizontal and four vertical bars on it, which can be used to display numbers from 0-9.

At this time, the vertical bar in the lower left corner was temporarily blacked out by Kosaburo Hijikata with a black pen, blending into the background.

In this way, when the electronic screen wants to display "6", humans can only read the number "5".

Kozaburo Hijikata is a rich man, and the two houses on the six floors of this apartment are all his.

501 is also his.

And 502, surrounded by three houses, is the home of Okitaichi whom I met just now.

There are many houses that can do whatever they want, Hijikata Kosaburo's murder plan is related to his three houses.

——He made the 601 and 501 he owns into exactly the same decoration in advance.

When entering the elevator just now, what Hijikata Kozaburo pressed was actually the elevator button for the sixth floor.

But he fiddled with the elevator and the house number in advance, trying to make Jiang Xia and the others think that a group of people came to 501.

After confusing the guests, Hijikata Kozaburo would strangle his wife to death and use a timing device to make her fall backwards from the balcony of 602 at a specific time.

Next, as long as you calculate the time when the wife's body falls, and invite Jiang Xia to watch the scenery, the guests will be able to witness the scene of the body falling.

In this way, in the eyes of the confused guests, the next door is not the 602 owned by Kosaburo Hijikata, but the 502 where Okita lives.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the body was poured out from Okita's house, the evidence was conclusive, rounding up equals to being caught on the spot.
