Chapter 1218 1226 [It is Jiang Xia who is killing people]

These two old, water-soaked guns were supposed to be placed at the police station as evidence in the murder case. Even if I forgot to return them, they would only last for a few days, and the police would soon find them.

It's just that I'll have fewer opportunities to carry a gun openly for a few days.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia took them out, looked down at them for a few seconds, and threw the gun to the policeman nonchalantly.

…

Next to him, Conan was reviewing the previous case in his mind, when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He was startled, then frowned and looked towards the police station, guessing in his heart: It must be Kasuga Teruhiko who was scolding them. Humph, he is such a guy who can't afford to lose. Who made him choose Xiaolan as a hostage... He is a typical example of reaping what one sows.

…

Not long after, the police went to the lake to collect evidence and pulled back Dr. Tanaka's body.

"I did fire the gun." Kasuga Teruhiko thought of the Kasuga Group that was about to be acquired, and realized that if he was arrested at this time, the wealth might fall into the hands of his younger brothers.

He didn't want to admit it, and angrily said, "You can't just listen to one side of the story! The gun actually belonged to Jiang Xia. He killed Dr. Tanaka, and I took the gun during the chaos and wanted to fight back, but I missed. Unfortunately, I was beaten by them afterwards... These people are all in the same group! They colluded and framed me for the murder!"

"But." The fat police officer looked at him speechlessly. Although he felt that this man was making trouble for no reason, he could not completely ignore his testimony, so he had to try his best to explain:

"Several other students did go the same way as Jiang Xia, but even your girlfriend insisted that you were the one who shot and killed people. She couldn't be Jiang Xia's accomplice - besides, Jiang Xia had no motive to kill, he didn't even know Dr. Tanaka, and there was no reaction to gunpowder smoke on his body."

"My girlfriend..." Kasuga Teruhiko gritted his teeth, "In fact, she was attracted by the beauty and had hooked up with the detective a long time ago!"

"?!" Nakamura Sachiko was stunned. "How dare you say such words? Don't you have any dignity?!"

"That's right!" Suzuki Sonoko slammed the table and rolled up her sleeves, looking offended, "Don't mess around with me!"

Once you lose your moral integrity, lying becomes easier.

"As a detective, there are definitely many opportunities for him to come into contact with guns." Kasuga Teruhiko relied on the fact that this was a police station and no one could hit him, so he held his head high and said something that made him believe it:

"And why didn't Jiang Xia have a motive to kill? Didn't he suspect that Dr. Tanaka was the murderer of the female corpse in the sea? It must be because he spread the word but couldn't find any evidence, so in order to prevent himself from making a wrong judgment, he simply killed the person!

"A dead man can't argue for himself. In this way, Jiang Xia's crime-solving rate is still 100%. In my opinion, his high efficiency in solving cases is abnormal. Who knows what shady means he used behind the scenes! As for the gunpowder reaction, he took a dip in the lake and his body was covered in water, so it is impossible to measure accurately. In short, I didn't kill anyone!"

“…”

It's rare to see a prisoner who is so stubborn.

Jiang Xia looked at him for a few times, and then found out with disappointment that Kasuga Teruhiko might be in the police station, or he might have just been knocked over. In any case, he was busy passing the buck, and there was not much murderous aura left on him.

In this case, let's finish it early and go back to Tokyo to continue picking up ghosts...

"I don't think I ever said that I thought Dr. Tanaka was the murderer." Jiang Xia said, taking out a plastic bag from his bag, "But I did find evidence that he was the murderer."

"..." Kasuga Teruhiko looked at the deflated lifebuoy. Although he didn't know what it had to do with Dr. Tanaka's murder, he still subconsciously believed Jiang Xia's judgment and cursed Tanaka in his heart - what a waste, he couldn't even hide the evidence.

"Is this... a lifebuoy?" The fat police officer looked at it in confusion. "What does this have to do with the female corpse on the seabed?"

Jiang Xia was about to speak when there was a sudden commotion in the corridor.

An old man wearing a straw hat rushed in, stroking his gray beard and angrily said, "Officer, I want to report a crime! I don't know which thief stole my boat - even a rubbish boat, how hungry he is! Shameless! No conscience! Bah!"

The Hawaiian elementary school student who was suddenly scolded: "..."

…

After explaining the situation, compensate the ship.

Jiang Xia held back the old man with a white beard who wanted to leave. Since he was already here, he might as well leave some clues before leaving: "You should be very familiar with this sea area - how will the ocean current flow in the nights these days?"

The old man had been collecting marine garbage for many years. He had just received a generous compensation and learned that his boat had saved people. He was in a good mood, so he waved his hand:

"Bring me a pen and paper! You won't understand even if I tell you, so I'll just draw it."

…

While he was drawing the picture, the police also conducted a preliminary inspection of the lifebuoy.

"Although it's a bit blurry, there are indeed Dr. Tanaka's fingerprints on it!" the police officer said in surprise, "In addition, we also detected blood stains on the lifebuoy. Although further verification is needed, it seems that the location of the remaining bloodstains is basically consistent with the abrasions left under the victim's armpits!"

The evidence is all there.

Jiang Xia secretly fast-forwarded: "The autopsy results were not tampered with. When the victim was drowned, Dr. Tanaka was indeed drinking in the pub.

"But before that, he had knocked his girlfriend unconscious, tied heavy stones to her ankles, and then put her on a lifebuoy with a small hole in it, letting her float in the sea current. If you look closely, you can actually find that the direction of the knot on the deceased's ankle is a bit strange. It looks more like it was tied from another direction than if he had tied the rope while sitting somewhere."

"After sending the still-living people to the sea, Dr. Tanaka could return to the bar and continue drinking. He had many colleagues to help testify, and he deliberately quarreled with several high school students, leaving an impression on many people so that they would remember that he was in the bar at the time.

"At the same time, Miss Photon on the lifebuoy was drifting with the ocean current. Because the lifebuoy was punctured, the air inside slowly leaked out. When it could no longer support her weight, her body was weighed down by the rocks and sank into the sea.

"It may be because these preparations were difficult to control, and they didn't expect the lifebuoy to be found. Dr. Tanaka didn't wear gloves and accidentally left fingerprints. It's a pity that he was beaten to death by Mr. Kasuga, otherwise I would really like to see what excuse he would use."

No one knows how Dr. Tanaka would defend himself if he were still alive.

Kasuga Teruhiko really wanted to argue, but unfortunately there were witnesses and evidence, and he couldn't get away with it by making excuses.

Thank you for the reward from the tyrannical vampire~
