Chapter 2159-2170 [Secretary]

Judy, under the three burning gazes, deeply felt the evil nature of those who called her meow.

She didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but she seemed to see through these three people and see a ruthless black hand hanging in the void - that thing really attacked her.

Thinking of this, Judy felt helpless but also a little tragic: her bait had worked after all, and she hoped that her reliable teammates could find clues from it and catch the flaws of "that person".

in addition……

Judy quietly moved next to Jiang Xia: "You will find the real murderer, right?"

Jiang Xia said righteously: "Don't worry, everything depends on the evidence."

Judy: “……?” Wait, shouldn’t I say something like “Don’t worry, I believe you” at this time? What does “let’s talk based on the evidence” mean? Don’t you think I’m the murderer too?

Inspector Megure noticed the whispers and winked frantically, asking Officer Takagi to separate the two without making a sound: Jiang Xia is good in every other way except that she is too easy to talk to in front of people she knows - he can't let this suspicious female teacher slow down his speed in solving the case.

…

As soon as Judy was separated, the surroundings became quiet.

Jiang Xia glanced at her and felt very regretful: she still didn't show any murderous intent - she was also an FBI agent, could she learn the speed of Akai Shuichi's murderous intent?

But speaking of this, Jiang Xia felt a pity: he thought Akai Shuichi had noticed Judy's recent movements and would come over to have a look. However, it turned out that this FBI ace was much more cautious than he thought: he didn't know whether he hadn't come or was hiding too far away, and even ghosts couldn't find where he was.

"Let's ask Subaru to pay more attention to him." Jiang Xia sighed inwardly, "A rare member who survived the defection, Akai Shuichi will not let him go easily even if he is an obvious bait. But this guy is too patient... Can't he learn from Gin and be a little more impatient?"

A voice came from the side: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this picture?"

Jiang Xia came to his senses and realized that he had been looking at it for a long time. He put down the floor plan of the lounge, nodded nonchalantly, and turned to Inspector Megure: "Where is the air cushion that the deceased was riding on now? I want to go and see it."

Of course Inspector Megure would not refuse.

Soon, everyone went back outside.

When they saw the air cushion, they immediately discovered the problem: "Why is it leaking?"

Inspector Megure was also a little confused. When it was fished out, the thing didn't seem so deflated. "Maybe it was accidentally scratched by the murder weapon when it fell over?"

Conan walked around the air cushion. The low chassis was convenient when checking physical evidence. He soon discovered something and pointed at the side of the air cushion: "There is a pinhole here!"

“?!”

A group of people gathered around and took a closer look, and found that it was indeed the case. The needle hole was right at the edge of the air cushion, along the seam, and was very hidden.

In addition to this air cushion, there is also a folding knife and two drink cups next to it.

Seeing Jiang Xia looking at those things, Inspector Megure said, "These were also fished out of the water. They should be the things that were placed on the air cushion at the time."

Conan thought it was strange: "It's normal to put drinks at hand when drifting, but why did the deceased put two drinks?"

Inspector Megure scratched his head: "Is there someone with her at the time? But this air cushion can only carry one person."

Officer Gao Mu pondered with him: "One person is different from another. It can be one 200-pound person or two 100-pound people!"

"I see!" Inspector Megure suddenly realized, but then he felt something was wrong. He whispered, "Then don't we have to check all the people in the park who weigh less than 100 kilograms?"

Officer Gao Mu: "Well, I think there are some problems with my previous idea. Um...Jiang Xia, go ask Jiang Xia!"

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the two grumbling policemen and sighed helplessly, "You guys think too much. If you ask me, she must be too difficult to please. She felt that neither this cup nor that cup was good enough, so the waiter had to give her two cups."

The waitress who was in charge of distributing drinks at the tunnel entrance was also among the onlookers. Upon hearing this, she quickly distanced herself from the matter: "I didn't! The water supply had just been restored at that time, and I didn't have time to return to the tunnel entrance. Those two drinks must have been brought by the deceased himself."

Jiang Xia nodded, as if he had a guess: "Can the dead man's locker be opened? I want to see what's inside."

…

The deceased's locker had been checked and the items inside had long been sorted and placed on the table.

A designer handbag, a makeup bag with various cosmetics inside, a pair of jeweled earrings and necklace, as well as a dress and matching sandals.

Suzuki Sonoko followed Jiang Xia and strolled around. For some reason, she felt that this action was much more comfortable recently.

After a while, when Suzuki Sonoko accidentally saw Judy, she slammed her palm and suddenly realized: No wonder, it turned out that it was because there was one less foreigner around these two times.

——Mr. Hashimoto always followed Jiang Xia not far behind but in an inconspicuous place. Suzuki Sonoko would trip over him whenever she wanted to get closer to him, so while following Jiang Xia, she had to be careful not to bump into Hashimoto Maya.

Now that Hashimoto Maya was not there, the space behind Jiang Xia suddenly became spacious. Without a large adult man blocking the way, Suzuki Sonoko could move to the left or right if she wanted to.

After discovering this, she happily walked around Jiang Xia several times. After leisurely inspecting the assistant's territory, Suzuki Sonoko accidentally raised her head and was slightly startled.

"Xiaolan?" She walked over and patted Mao Lilan, "What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

Mao Lilan looked at the remains in the dead woman's locker and whispered to Suzuki Sonoko, "Did you notice that she, her luggage seems to be missing something?"

"What?" Suzuki Sonoko looked over curiously. She did feel something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what it was. She scratched her head and said, "What's missing? It can't be a suicide note."

Mao Lilan came close to her and hummed like a mosquito: "It seems that there is no underwear."

Suzuki Sonoko: “!”

She just looked at the pile again and found that it was indeed not there.

Suzuki Sonoko: “…” Going out without anything topless in summer is so trendy.

But after a while, she realized: "I know, she must have worn that bikini as underwear!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that everyone in the room was looking at her.

Suzuki Sonoko: “…” Why, is my voice so loud?

Fortunately, at this moment, Jiang Xia nodded and diverted all attention with one sentence: "I think we know who the murderer is."

The police who were about to check on people weighing 100 kilograms suddenly had their eyes light up.
