Chapter 1430 1438 [Everything is Bourbon’s conspiracy]

The administrator quickly shook his head: "Of course not, our apartment is very security-conscious, and the rooftop door is usually locked. If the residents here want to go up, they must be accompanied by us."

After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "Speaking of falling from a building, I remember that Mr. Yoshida lived in a room at the edge of the fifth floor, right next to the alley. He must have fallen from his own room. Calculating the location, looking down from his balcony, it's exactly where the body was lying just now."

Just now, after Dr. Yoshimura fell to his death, a large group of passers-by gathered around. The apartment manager was also alarmed and ran out to watch the situation. Then he was brought in by the police to inquire about clues.

"So that's how it is." Inspector Megure quickly determined the next direction of investigation, "Then let's go to his room and take a look."

…

A group of people got into the elevator and pressed the button for the 5th floor.

In the elevator, Inspector Megure raced against time to find the apartment manager to inquire about the situation of the tenants.

As they were talking, the elevator reached the second floor, suddenly stopped, and the door opened with a crash.

Several people paused and looked outside, but there was no one outside the elevator door.

The group of policemen did not think much about it. They just thought that the person waiting for the elevator was impatient. After pressing the button, they turned around and went somewhere else.

The door closed quickly and the elevator continued to rise.

Unexpectedly, when it reached the third floor, the elevator stopped again, the door opened with a bang, and there was still no one outside.

The door closed again and the elevator continued to move upward.

Maori Kogoro frowned and couldn't help muttering, "Why is it like a haunted place?"

Jiang Xia silently glanced at the closed door. The mermaid floated too slowly just now, and her tail was caught by the door. Now she was trying hard to pull it out - although ghosts can pass through entities, their speed of passing through solid objects is much slower than floating in the air.

However, the haunting that Kogoro Mori was referring to should not be this kind of ghost.

The manager had already gotten used to taking this elevator. When he heard Kogoro Mouri say this, he remembered that the elevators in many apartments were different from his own.

He explained: "For safety reasons, our elevators are designed so that they must stop at every floor."

"I see." Maori Kogoro scratched the back of his head. "It's a good idea, but if the person in the elevator is in a hurry, it will be a torture."

Although the shortcomings of the apartment were pointed out by outsiders, the manager seemed to have seized some kind of opportunity and quietly shifted the blame again: "You are right, Mr. Yoshimura may have thought so too, so he found a way out himself - I saw him going up and down the escape stairs of the building next door before."

Several policemen were stunned: "The building next door? What do you mean?"

Administrator: "His room is on the 5th floor, and the height of the 5th floor of our apartment is exactly the same as the roof of the building next door. The balcony of Mr. Yoshimura's room protrudes a bit, and the distance between the two sides is not wide. For an adult male, he can easily jump from his balcony to the roof of the building next door.

"Not long ago, I saw him jumping back and forth there. He seemed to like that road very much and wanted to walk it a few more times to get used to it. I tried to persuade him at the time, but he said he just felt it was new and would not jump there again. But now it seems..."

The administrator thought of the body in the alley, sighed, and shook his head.

…

As they were talking, the slow elevator finally moved to the fifth floor.

Jiang Xia got off the elevator, and the police and others also came down.

The client, Dr. Kanda, walked last.

He looked at the policeman and did not leave the elevator: "Well, can I go upstairs to change clothes first? I live here too, and my room is on the sixth floor. It won't take too long."

When the deceased was found falling from the building just now, Dr. Kanda ran over to check on him and was covered in blood.

Inspector Megure turned around and saw his bloody clothes. He felt that even if he worked with the police, he would only destroy the scene of the fall.

And if you think about it carefully: when the deceased fell from the building, Dr. Kanda was with Jiang Xia. It was impossible that he pushed the deceased down the stairs from a distance, haha.

...Anyway, it doesn't look like a big problem.

So Inspector Megure nodded and said, "Of course. Remember to come to Mr. Yoshimura's room after changing your clothes. We have something else to ask you."

Dr. Kanda responded and pressed the elevator door close button.

The elevator door closed quickly and he walked up while the others went to the end of the corridor.

…

At the end of the corridor is Room 501. After the apartment manager opened the door, he could see that it was a simply decorated one-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​only about 30 square meters.

After passing through the entrance hall, you will soon enter the bedroom and living room - the only room here.

It seemed that Dr. Yoshimura was only staying here temporarily. There were few things in the room: a bed, a small wardrobe, a coffee table and two soft chairs next to it.

The floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony were open and the curtains fluttered in the wind.

Jiang Xia walked to the balcony and looked outside.

Inspector Megure was also checking this place, nodding as he looked: "Sure enough, standing on the balcony, the roof of the building opposite is right in front of us, and right next to it is the staircase of the building opposite. It's much faster to go up from here than the elevator."

He remembered what the apartment manager had said just now: "The person must have fallen from here."

Conan stood on tiptoe and tried to look outside, and suddenly found a dark shadow vaguely on the roof of the building opposite the balcony.

"It's a slipper." Jiang Xia noticed where his gaze was going and whispered, "Didn't you just say that the deceased had only one slipper on his feet? It seems that the other one fell on the opposite building."

Conan was startled, and reviewed the distance from the slipper on the roof to the balcony, and felt something was wrong: "The person clearly fell into the alley. How could the slipper be thrown so far?"

Kogoro Mouri also came to the balcony and took a look, but perhaps because he felt the wind was too strong here, he quickly shrank back.

When he turned around and saw the small coffee table and the wine and ice bucket on it, he couldn't help but feel greedy and smacked his lips: "This guy has time to drink even when he is threatened. He seems very leisurely."

"Maybe he's drinking to drown his sorrows." Jiang Xia said casually while turning to look at the small coffee table.

When he saw the wine on it, he was slightly stunned: it was actually a bottle of bourbon.

Jiang Xia: “…” The boss was actually placed on the table, what a fate.

If Vodka saw this scene, he would probably have a bunch of random thoughts in his mind, and he might even target Bourbon with a hint of murderous intent. Tsk, what a pity that I didn't bring him along.

Just as I was thinking about it, a detective next to me, who wanted to get off work more than the police, had already started his reasoning.

Maori Kogoro touched his chin and said, "The key to the deceased's room was in his own pocket. When we came in just now, the door was locked. There were no signs of a fight in the room, so..."
