Chapter 2829-2841 [Eliminate Jiang Xia]

Subaru Okiya muttered to himself, "Today I deviated greatly from the original route, which should be a good opportunity for them. But in fact, no one has found me until now...

"Besides the transmitter I lost, this may also be related to my lost car. My car is bigger and more conspicuous than mine. If we were in Tokyo at the same time, the chances of it being noticed by the FBI would definitely be higher than that of a low-key passerby.

"So, I blamed Conan wrongly this time? This kid actually helped me divert the FBI's attention..."

Thinking of this, Subaru Okiya silently decided to bring a bag of candy to Conan next time they met as a token of his gratitude: Although this child looks completely different from ordinary children, some instinctive preferences should be difficult to refuse - for example, what child doesn't like to eat candy?

"No, wait!"

Halfway through feeling grateful, Subaru Okiya suddenly realized: If it weren't for that email from Usa, nothing that happened today would have happened at all!

“…”

"Forget it, forget it. I am his subordinate, so it is only natural for me to help him with some work. Strictly speaking, the frequency with which Lord Uzo visits me is much lower than that of my mentor."

Okiya Subaru sighed silently and tried hard to correct his mentality: "At least I haven't become one of those pathetic disposable props, and... Strictly speaking, this day is not over yet. I'd better wait until I get home safely before thinking about these headache-inducing follow-ups."

The graduate student, who had been busy for a day and a night, shook his head and hurried home.

…

The other side.

In the left-hand drive car.

"You are so polite, you are so good at ordering people around." The driver smiled at Jiang Xia, "But we are both kind-hearted people. Since you asked, we will be kind and give you a ride."

The short-haired woman looked at the map and asked Jiang Xia, "Are you going to Xianqiao Station? I remember there is construction going on there. There shouldn't be anyone there at this time."

Jiang Xia nodded: "That's right. Not only is there no one at the station, but there is no one around it either. It will be very convenient for you to kill me first, then use my phone to lure out my two companions, and then defeat them one by one and eliminate all the hidden dangers of exposing their identities."

Two people who were thinking the same thing: "?!"

"Haha, what nonsense are you talking about." The short-haired woman laughed dryly, "As expected of a detective, you have a rich imagination. We are two ordinary citizens, why would we kill you for no reason?"

"Ordinary citizens?" Jiang Xia recalled the tone Conan usually used when talking to criminals and began to replicate it, "Two ordinary citizens who robbed a large amount of jewelry and are now wanted by the Gunma police?"

“……”The smiles of the other two people in the car gradually disappeared.

Jiang Xia felt the murderous aura growing stronger from them, and said comfortably: "This car is not yours. You must have abandoned your own car and robbed a passing car."

As he spoke, he leaned forward and pulled open the ashtray that came with the car.

With a rustling sound, a box full of coins, with ashes and cigarette butts on the coins, appeared.

Jiang Xia sat back and said, "You are a heavy smoker. You have habitually touched the cigarette box several times, but forced yourself to put it back - this is not because you consider the children in the car, but because you know there is no place for you to flick the ash in the car.

"The original owner of this car was not a smoker, and he used the original ashtray as a coin box and stuffed a lot of coins into it. It was OK when no one got in the car before, you can just flick the ashes onto the coins.

"But after we get in the car, if we open the ashtray again and see the dirty and messy scene inside, we will immediately realize the incongruity and guess that you are not the real owner of the car."

The short-haired woman laughed. "Just because of this? Actually, it was me who put the coins in the ashtray. I wanted him to quit smoking, but he never listened, so I stuffed a lot of coins into his ashtray as a prank. But he saw the coins and continued to flick ashes into it. Sigh, these second-generation rich people really don't take money seriously."

Jiang Xia glanced at the driver in the front seat and said, "The concept of 'rich second generation' was made up by you guys before to explain why this car is on the left-hand drive. The person whose car you robbed might be a rich second generation, but the current driver is obviously not used to this kind of left-hand drive overseas luxury car.

"Because he was used to driving on the right, when he suddenly switched to this car, he would accidentally drive onto the center line and was repeatedly warned by oncoming cars.

"In addition, when reversing, he subconsciously looked back to the left. He was awkward and unfamiliar with shifting gears with his right hand, and accidentally turned on the windshield wiper instead of the turn signal when turning. Not to mention the wrong vehicle inspection time... This is not the reaction of someone who is 'tired of driving this car', but the situation that only occurs when driving this kind of car for the first time."

The driver's face turned pale and blue as he listened to these numerous loopholes, and he felt a little embarrassed.

The short-haired woman couldn't help but glare at him: I told you to be careful and not reveal any flaws, and look what you have done!

"And you." Jiang Xia suddenly looked at the short-haired woman again.

woman:"?"

Jiang Xia: "When we were riding together before, although you 'enthusiastically' agreed to let us get on the bus, you sat in your seat without moving at all, and only asked us to take a detour and get on through the other side of the bus.

“Although this can be explained as you are used to sitting in this position and don’t want to change, but in fact, this is because the position you are currently in has bloodstains left by the leg injury of another companion of yours, so you have to sit there all the time to block other people’s view.

"You heard that there would be a surprise inspection when you left Gunma Prefecture, so you asked the injured companion to hide in the trunk in advance.

"Then they saw us doing a roadside stop and there was a child among us, and you realised you could use the child to get the police to let down their guard.

"Four adults and one child, this number doesn't match the lineup when you robbed the jewelry store. This can further mislead the police and make them let you go by mistake."

“…”

In the dead silence, the short-haired woman gritted her teeth and said, "I think you solve too many cases, and you think everyone is a criminal. Even if you really want to silence you, I would have killed you all just now. Why let them go first and then go to your house with all the trouble?"

Jiang Xia looked at the approaching Xianqiao Station and said slowly, "It's too late today, and many agencies are inefficient. But by tomorrow, your car robbery will definitely be reported in the newspaper, and this car will also be noticed."
