Corpse collector in Conan
Chapter 249 The way to confuse Jiang Xia
the other side.
Jiang Xia didn't say he understood everything about Hijikata Kozaburo's thoughts, but he could at least guess some of them.
To be honest, he was indeed a little worried before, fearing that this person was too cautious and that the last cheating incident would not scare him.
But fortunately, there are probably not many famous but powerful detectives in this world, so Kozaburo Hijikata doesn't have so many options. In the end, he still got involved in this incident.
After Jiang Xia replied to the text message, she put down her phone and remembered the instruction "Don't bring strange people into the mix".
He then silently looked at Mao Lilan, who happened to be charging his skateboard at the doctor's house, and who happened to come to take Conan home.
... Such a polite and sensible elementary school student, such a weak and cute high school girl, must not be considered a strange person, right?
Moreover, Mao Lilan seems to be an omnivorous star chaser. As long as she is a celebrity, she wants to chase him and get an autograph or something. Such an invitation should not be refused.
…
The next day, Hijikata Kozaburo came to the coffee shop near his home and found Jiangxia.
Then he was slightly surprised to find that there was a beautiful girl of his own age next to Jiang Xia, and there was also a little boy.
...Inexplicably, it gives people the feeling of dragging the family with them.
Hijikata Kozaburo was still secretly complaining that Jiang Xia didn't listen to the advice and brought people here casually.
But when he and the high school girl looked at each other and saw the sparkling admiration in her eyes, he silently swallowed back his complaints.
...After all, they are still a bunch of kids who can't resist the temptation of meeting veteran actors in person. Moreover, if Jiang Xia is really a fool, then maybe he didn't understand the hint in his invitation text message at all, but really simply thought that he was here to give him detective guidance, so he couldn't help but show 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 Kozaburo actually does not dislike this kind of behavior, and is even vaguely happy.
His expression softened and he thought, after the case is over, he would give each of these students an autographed photo.
After briefly introducing himself, Kozaburo Hijikata stood up with a kind face and adjusted the sunglasses on his face: "It's not convenient to talk here, so come to my house."
Jiang Xia nodded and stood up.
Mao Lilan touched the autograph book in her bag excitedly and followed happily.
Conan finished the coffee in his cup and put it down. He was also a little curious - it is said that Kozaburo Hijikata invited Jiangxia over because he wanted Jiangxia to teach him some detective skills so that he could show more realistic reactions when filming detective dramas in the future.
Conan was wondering what Jiang Xia could teach him in this regard. After all, in terms of time, Jiang Xia was only a very junior detective and should have had little experience... Could he teach him the kind of high-speed crime-solving skills?
In that case, he also wanted to learn... Conan touched the camera in his bag - in case he couldn't learn it on the spot, he would take a picture and figure it out slowly.
…
Hijikata Kozaburo's home is in a high-end apartment.
The apartment faces the river and has a pleasant view.
To avoid possible reporters, Hijikata Kozaburo led them into the apartment through the back door and pressed the elevator.
The elevator soon reached the first floor. As soon as the door opened, a person came down - a handsome young man wearing a headscarf and dyed yellow hair.
Jiang Xia had never seen this person before, but based on his spoilers and clothes, he could vaguely guess his identity.
Mao Lilan knew him. She lowered her voice and whispered excitedly to Jiang Xia: "It's Okitaichi! That very popular actor, he actually lives here!"
Kozaburo Hijikata unexpectedly met the handsome boy who had fallen in love with him, and his expression twisted.
However, as an old actor, he quickly adjusted his mentality and said hello in a friendly manner: "Let's go out."
"Well, let's go to the convenience store." Okitaichi had no intention of acting in front of the customers. He knew exactly what Hijikata Kozaburo wanted to ask and said directly, "Don't think too much, I will be back at the appointed time."
When Jiang Xia heard this, she politely stopped talking and pretended not to be interested.
He was finally invited by Hijikata Kozaburo. Before getting the things he wanted to pick up, he decided to avoid all topics that might arouse Hijikata's alarm.
Mao Lilan didn't have so many worries and asked doubtfully: "Appointment time?" But this afternoon, didn't Mr. Hijikata make an appointment with Jiang Xia?
"Haha, yes." Hijikata Kozaburo was a little embarrassed. After Okita left, he explained, "I just... planned to discuss with him the matter between him and my wife - the two neighbors talked a few words, and then those The reporter wrote that he was having an affair, so he couldn't let it go like this. After all, we have been neighbors for so many years. It would hurt our feelings if we left this matter to the company, so I wanted to negotiate privately first - our appointment time is in the evening, so I don't want to be delayed. Ask Jiang Xia for some detective skills."
At this time, Mao Lilan belatedly remembered the gossip about "Mrs. Hijikata is suspected of cheating on Okitaichi". She 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.
Hijikata Kozaburo wanted to continue to be silent like this, but he couldn't.
He could only brace himself, block the elevator button with his body, press the button, then turn around and distribute business cards to several people.
Although he didn't take Jiang Xia seriously, this was his carefully planned method after all, and he still had to make sufficient preparations.
Jiang Xia took advantage of Hijikata Kozaburo's lowered head and glanced at the electronic screen showing the floor.
The electronic screen is as big as two palms, with a black bottom and seven bars, three horizontal and four vertical, that can be used to display numbers from 0 to 9.
At this time, the vertical bar in the lower left corner was temporarily blackened by Hijikata Kozaburo 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".
Hijikata Kozaburo is a rich man, and all the two rooms on the sixth floor of this apartment belong to him.
501 is also his.
502, surrounded by three houses, is Okitaichi's home that we just encountered.
Having too many houses means you can do whatever you want. Hijikata Kozaburo's murder plan is precisely related to his three houses.
——He made the 601 and 501 he owned into exactly the same decorations in advance.
When he entered the elevator just now, what Hijikata Kozaburo pressed was actually the elevator button on the sixth floor.
But he had tampered with the elevator and house numbers in advance, trying to make Jiang Xia and the others think that a group of people had arrived at 501.
After confusing the guests, Kozaburo Hijikata would strangle his wife to death and use a timer device to make her fall backwards from the balcony of 602 at a specific time.
Next, as long as he calculates the time when his wife's body falls and invites Jiang Xia to watch the scenery, the guests can 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 Hijikata Kozaburo, but the 502 where Okita lives. In full view of the public, the body was dumped out of Okita's house. The evidence was conclusive and rounded off equals to being caught on the spot.
