Chapter 2400 2412 [Bargain]

Kudo Shinichi looked at the familiar crime-solving scene in front of him and was so anxious that he almost wanted to scratch the wall: he finally turned back to his original body, finally got the chance to act on the same stage with Xiaolan, and finally had the opportunity to solve the case in front of Xiaolan... But now, how could things turn out like this?

"Hold on. I can't leave now." Kudo Shinichi took a deep breath, looked at the crime scene with nostalgia, and silently shrank behind the curtain. "It turns out that the weird heroine is Judy... Could it be that this suspicious woman noticed my movements, and today's incident is a trap for 'Kudo Shinichi'?"

"Fortunately, the hero's costume covered most of his face in pursuit of 'mystery', so the woman couldn't see me clearly right away. Otherwise, the horror scene that Huibara described a few days ago might have really come true." Kudo Shinichi felt scared just thinking about it, "I hope that when Hattori pretends to be me, they will think that it wasn't me who was acting just now, but just a mischievous high school student..."

The enlarged detective who couldn't see the light was hiding in a dark corner and observing.

Next to the body, the investigation is continuing.

Jiang Xia looked at the people gathered at the scene and said slowly, "As long as we take advantage of the little habits of the deceased, it is not difficult to achieve the current situation. Thanks to everyone's rich experience, the people around the deceased were not allowed to leave the scene after the crime, so now, the important physical evidence is still carried by the murderer."

The experienced passers-by glanced over here upon hearing what was said, and all showed proud expressions: They are indeed the famous detectives of their school, they saw their importance at a glance... They will continue to help solve the case next time!

Inspector Megure arrived late and was not among the people being praised. His attention was focused on another matter: "Important physical evidence? Where is it?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but look at Akai Shuichi: When I searched him just now, I didn't seem to find anything strange...

Jiang Xia: "The poison chosen by the murderer was potassium cyanide, which is extremely difficult to dissolve in ice water. Before coming to the campus festival, she prepared edible ice cubes in advance and then drilled a cylindrical space in the ice.

"Then inject potassium cyanide into the gap and seal the opening with a small piece of ice, and the murder weapon is ready.

"Before the drama performance began, the murderer put such ice cubes into the victim's drink. The potassium cyanide sealed in the ice could not dissolve in the drink, so the victim drank the entire cup of Coke safely - this is also the reason why potassium cyanide could not be detected in his cup."

Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment. He flipped through the photos in his hand and saw the deceased's drink cup: "But when we arrived, there was no ice in the deceased's drink cup. It should have melted. If this is true, the Forensic Department should be able to detect the toxins in it..."

Jiang Xia also looked at his photo: "The lid of this beverage cup is open. Why do you think that is?"

Inspector Megure scratched his head: "Because... the cup lid fell off when he fell to the ground?"

Suzuki Sonoko: "The cup must have been opened when he was struggling in pain!"

Hattori Heiji knew the reason, but he also muddied the waters. He glanced at Akai Shuichi and said, "Maybe someone opened the lid of the cup and took away the evidence inside."

This speculation sounded plausible, and the police's attention immediately focused on it.

Akai Shuichi: "..."

Fortunately, Zhengyi's good friend came to his rescue. Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "Whether it is iced coffee or iced cola, these drinks with ice cubes have one thing in common - if the drinker drinks too fast, then by the time the drink is finished, the ice cubes in the cup are often not completely melted."

“Some people throw away the ice cubes and the cup after drinking, but some people like to open the cup lid and chew the ice cubes inside.

"To put it simply, the deceased did not 'drink' potassium cyanide, but ate ice cubes mixed with potassium cyanide. When the toxin entered his mouth, the ice cubes in the cup had not completely melted, so no trace of poison could be detected in the cup."

"I see!" Inspector Megure, who also had the habit of chewing ice cubes, felt a chill in his mouth and was a little scared. "As long as the murderer knew the habit of the deceased, he could kill him specifically... So the murderer this time was not a member of the medical trouble riot, but an acquaintance of the deceased?"

Judy and Shuichi Akai relaxed a little when they heard this: although going to the police station was not a big trouble for them, it was obviously not a pleasant experience, and if they received too much attention, their actions would not go smoothly.

Now that she has been kicked out of the scope of suspects, Judy couldn't help but secretly wink at Akai Shuichi: See, just like she said, although the process is a bit difficult, as long as we believe in Jiang Xia's ability to solve the case, this crisis of being framed can be perfectly resolved!

Akai Hideichi looked calm, but he was not as relaxed as she was.

If you think about it, you will find that each case is just like a vicious game with a bet: if Jiang Xia can solve the difficult cases set by "that person" and overcome the difficulties, then this group of "unlucky passers-by" can get out of the crisis, but if he can't...

This feeling of being pushed onto the table as a bet and a prize is obviously not a pleasant experience for a lone wolf who likes to control his own destiny.

And the more Wu Zo watches Jiang Xia, the more dangerous his situation will become. With each successful breakthrough, it is not difficult to imagine that the man will set up more complicated and dangerous cases in the future.

This made the FBI ace a little worried: he still owed Jiang Xia Longping a favor, and now that Jiang Xia Longping was dead, it seemed that this favor should still be owed to his son.

Having said that, Shuichi Akai couldn't find the right time to contact Jiang Xia, and he always felt that blindly running away might not be effective when facing that organization - although many people who accepted the witness protection program spent the rest of their lives in peace, there were also some unlucky people who were discovered and hunted down by their enemies, and eventually died miserably.

And once you accept that plan, it means you have to keep a low profile for the rest of your life. But as the saying goes, gold always shines, Jiang Xia is still very young, and he is not the kind of person who shrinks when faced with difficulties. Wanting him to spend the rest of his life in obscurity... It sounds like a difficult task.

Especially now that the Internet is becoming more and more developed, more and more people like to take photos and videos, and the difficulty of hiding has become greater - even if the person is sent for plastic surgery and looks ordinary, if one day Jiang Xia passes by the crime scene and can't help but help the police solve a case, he will probably return to the public eye.
