Chapter 1453 1461 [Strange Stage] Ask for monthly ticket (ˉˉ)

"What's wrong?" The others had already gotten used to Conan rushing to the crime scene as soon as possible.

But this time, they found something different - after Conan rushed to the place, he didn't look at the corpse, but looked somewhere else.

This made everyone a little surprised, "What are you looking for?"

Just now, Mouri Ran and Haibara Ai were strolling around the store and did not see that scene.

Jiang Xia and Dr. Agasa were dozing off on the bench at the door and also did not capture the fall - at least that was what it seemed on the surface.

Only Conan, who was lying in front of the railing just now, was looking at the people coming and going downstairs and thinking about life. Therefore, he happened to see the scene where someone was almost hit and was pulled away by another person.

Conan: “…” And the person who pulled away the person who was hit…actually looked very much like the young woman who brought him the passport last night!

Once suspicion begins, other doubts will gradually emerge.

——Conan recalled the scene just now, and suddenly found that even the man who was pulled away by the woman in black always gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He seemed to have seen that person somewhere.

Conan: "..." So who are these people? What is their purpose?

Last night, the woman in black's words, "an actor escaping from the stage," sounded so malicious that it was impossible not to care.

But just now, she actually saved someone else.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but feel a little confused - could it be that the man who was almost hit and was obviously frightened was the target of the woman in black, and was this a threat against him?

Or is there something else going on?

Conan was full of questions: Now, there were too few useful clues, so he could only carefully note the appearance of the two people.

At this time, more and more people were watching, and in the vast crowd, the key figures had already left secretly. He clenched his fist unwillingly, and finally, his eyes fell on the ground in front of him - the person who fell to death.

This is the only clue left.

…

Just as I was thinking about it, someone suddenly pulled my collar.

"?"

Conan was startled and turned around.

Behind him, Jiang Xia was looking up and pointed him in a direction.

"The person fell from there." Jiang Xia was becoming more and more like a mature high school detective. He made a suggestion that a high school detective would make at this moment, "Let's go up and take a look?"

Conan raised his head with an effort and looked toward the top of the skylight in the direction he pointed.

I saw that where the railing should have been on the fourth floor, it was now just covered with some waterproof cloth - that area seemed to be under renovation.

"There should be signs like 'Keep Out' at construction sites like this. How could that person fall from there for no reason?"

Conan felt something was wrong and was about to communicate with Jiang Xia.

However, when he looked up, Jiang Xia had already walked away. It seemed that his question of "go up and take a look" was just a polite one, not really asking for opinion.

"..." Conan immediately followed, "Wait for me!"

…

The group quickly reached the fourth floor.

When we arrived, we saw several security guards and police officers surrounding the construction site, blocking the crowd.

Next to the falling point, a man in a gray suit was kneeling on the ground, holding a backpack in his arms dejectedly. He stared blankly at the gap in front of him, as if he had not yet come to his senses. A policeman was half-crouching next to him, frowning and whispering something.

"These policemen look a little unfamiliar." Jiang Xia muttered to the others, "But they are policemen from Tokyo after all. Maybe we can try our luck and get in legally by scanning their faces."

Conan nodded seriously, agreeing with this.

The two men quickly grabbed a police officer who looked easy to talk to under the silent gaze of the other three and asked, "What happened here?"

The young police officer had only been there for a few minutes and had already been asked this question countless times.

He sighed with a heavy head, and was about to continue to fool people with the official answer of "we are still investigating", but before he could open his mouth, he turned his head and saw the face of the person asking the question clearly.

"Jiang Xia?" The young police officer's eyes lit up. It seemed that he had obviously heard some legends circulating among the Tokyo police. "Could it be that I had... ahem, I mean, could it be that I had the good fortune to watch a live broadcast of solving a case today?!"

He was excited for a while, but soon came to his senses, scratched his head, and said to Jiang Xia: "But, alas, this should be just an ordinary accident. The culprit is already very obvious."

Jiang Xia: "Accident?"

"Yes." The young police officer nodded and pointed at the man in a gray suit kneeling on the ground next to him. "We asked several bystanders nearby, and they saw the whole process of the fall. This man had an argument with the deceased over a travel bag, and they pushed each other violently. During this process, the deceased lost his balance and accidentally knocked open the shielding material next to the fence and fell down the building."

There was an enthusiastic bystander nearby who came over at some point and said, "Yes, it's just as the police officer said - I saw it all."

Jiang Xia heard the voice and found it familiar.

He took a closer look at the bloated woman and asked in surprise, "Ms. Yoko?"

"!!" The woman turned her back to the crowd and tried hard to gesture to keep quiet.

Although she looked several sizes fatter than the normal Kinoshita Yoko, making people wonder if they were seeing things, her eyes peeking out from between her scarf and hat brim, as well as her slender fingers peeking out from her sleeves, all revealed her true identity.

Jiang Xia: “…” Miss Yoko’s disguise skills are really getting better and better… Could it be that the fat look of Kudo Yukiko when she disguised herself as the woman in black “Edogawa Fumiyo” last time gave her some inspiration?

He couldn't help but look at Yoko Kinoshita's waist and belly: he didn't know how much body-stuffing material she had stuffed into her body in order to experience the feeling of a normal person shopping.

While thinking, Jiang Xia turned around and looked at the increasingly dense crowd behind him, realizing that with Kinoshita Yoko's popularity, if she was recognized, she would probably be in trouble.

So he lowered his voice and leaned closer to ask again: "What happened just now?"

Kinoshita Yoko raised her hand and gestured in the corridor, indicating where she was just now, and whispered: "I just came out of the bathroom, a little thirsty, and wanted to buy a drink from a nearby vending machine. But before I got close, I saw two men pushing and shoving next to the machine, fighting for a backpack.

"I wanted to stop the fight, but I was a little scared when I saw their appearance, so I just shouted from a few meters away. Who knew that after that, they fought even harder, and soon they fell into the construction area together, and then the man fell down."
