Chapter 47 What are you going to do to the police officer?

Conan stared at this scene in a daze: "..."

Jiang Xia solved the case so quickly, it was as if he had hidden the answer... From the time he entered the house to the time he found the murderer, was it only a minute?

"..." Conan remembered the scene of Jiang Xia climbing over the wall, and suddenly thought, could it be that Jiang Xia happened to witness the murder scene?

But soon, Conan ruled out this possibility.

——Based on Jiang Xia’s consistent attitude towards criminals, if he saw the crime scene, he would definitely go over and kick the criminal to the ground, or at least catch him and give him a couple of beatings.

...In other words, these should really be deduced by Jiang Xia.

Conan was distracted for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, he found Jiang Xia looking at him.

Conan was silent for a moment, then sighed, feeling a bit complicated: "You... are quite amazing."

Jiang Xia shook his head: "I just stood on the shoulders of a dwarf."

Conan: “……?” Surprisingly quite modest.

There's something wrong with the quoted quote.

Shouldn't it be "standing on the shoulders of giants"?

Could it be that Jiang Xia was thinking that this case was too simple and could be easily solved without stepping on a giant?

…

On the other side, when Inspector Megure saw the engraving on the cabinet, he finally no longer doubted Jiang Xia's conclusion that "Suwa is the murderer."

At the same time, he asked someone to check Suwa's clothes according to what Jiang Xia had just said.

He was very confused and asked Suwa: "Aren't you here to repay the money today? You have already collected the money, why did you suddenly kill someone?"

Suwa has been staring at Jiangxia quietly.

At this time, hearing Inspector Megure's question, he looked away and sighed: "It's because of the knife I pawned to him."

"Knife?" Inspector Megure was stunned.

There happened to be a knife wrapped in cloth next to it.

Inspector Megure picked it up and examined it: "Are you talking about this one?"

Suwa looked at the knife in his hand and snorted:

"Of course not this broken sword! It's my family heirloom, 'Kikuchiyo'!

"——This afternoon, I came to pay back the money as agreed. But Marudenjiro had already sold my sword, saying that he would use it as interest on the loan.

"How dare he treat my treasure like that? The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. So I picked up the decorative knife in his room and chopped him off from behind when he turned around to count the money. It was like..."

When Suwa said this, his eyes became sharp. He turned around suddenly and grabbed the knife in Inspector Megure's arms, intending to use it to chop Jiang Xia and teach this guy who exposed him a lesson.

However, contrary to the plan, Suwa was unable to grab the knife.

——The knife held in Inspector Megure's hand was suddenly taken away by another person. Suwa's palm softened and he grabbed a bunch of untrained and loose chest muscles.

Memu Police Department: "!!!"

Suwa: “?”

He was startled, and opened his squinting eyes in confusion, meeting Inspector Megure's extremely terrified gaze.

Suwa: “…”…Where’s the knife?

He looked carefully and found that Jiang Xia had walked to the side of Inspector Megure without him knowing it. Just now, when Suwa tried to grab the knife, Jiang Xia took the lead and grabbed the knife into his own hand.

At this time, the young detective, holding the knife in his arms, took a few steps back and retreated behind a beautiful female police officer with short hair.

Then he poked half of his head out and said, "That's too much. He actually attacked a police officer. He really has no remorse."

Sato Miwako was stunned for a long time and was finally awakened by the words "assaulting police officers".

Seeing that Suwa was still holding on to Inspector Megure, whom she respected, Sato Miwako's eyes narrowed and two veins bulged on her forehead. She kicked off her high heels on the ground and rushed over like a rocket.

"Wait..." Suwa was frightened by her amazing momentum and quickly withdrew his hand, but it was too late.

The angry Sato Miwako grabbed him around the waist, shouted angrily, and threw Suwa to the floor with a bang.

…

A few meters away, Jiang Xia looked at Suwa who had fainted from the fall, and confirmed that the man had no ability to fight anymore, then he threw the knife aside.

Then he walked to the collapsed floor, pretending to care about Suwa, but in fact he quietly took away a very faint murderous aura.

This fell from Suwa.

Suwa probably didn't want to kill anyone again. He just wanted to vent his anger with a feint. His murderous intent was not strong enough and the amount of murderous aura was very small, so he was knocked away by Officer Sato's throw.

Jiang Xia felt a little regretful.

However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. He did not despise it and happily saved the unexpected gain.

Next to it, seeing Suwa being exposed and smashed into the ground by the police, the Shikigami's obsession was relieved. As soon as it let go, it floated down from the corpse.

Miyano Akemi and Xiaobai ran over consciously, picked up the Shikigami, and handed it to Jiang Xia.

…

A few minutes later, the police carried Suwa away.

While the scene was still chaotic, Jiang Xia walked towards Mrs. Wan, who had just lost her husband and was hugging her lover's arm with a sweet look on her face.

He observed for a while and felt that Mrs. Wan was in a good mood, so he asked directly: "What are you going to do with the remaining collateral?"

Mrs. Wan had just become rich and her husband had died, so she was in a good mood. Moreover, Jiang Xia had inadvertently helped her beloved lover, who was also the family doctor among the suspects, to clear suspicion, so she looked at Jiang Xia with particular favor.

Mrs. Wan thought of Jiang Xia's climbing over the wall, and vaguely guessed his purpose. She smiled twice with her hands covering her lips, "Don't worry, I won't sell the collateral randomly like that greedy person - I'll keep the ones that haven't matured and wait for the debtor to pay back. When they're matured, I'll wait a few days before selling them..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wan suddenly remembered something.

She looked at her husband's blood on the ground, hesitated and changed her words: "Forget it, I won't sell it before it expires, I'll just keep it at home."

Jiang Xia: "..." I always feel that this woman has vaguely seen a corner of the truth of the world of science...

However, in this way, the commission was solved by accident.

Jiang Xia left with peace of mind.

Before leaving, he did not forget to secretly go to the warehouse and take out the transmitter in the pottery jar and take it away.

…

The commission to "keep an eye on the collateral" has been completed, but at this point, it is not yet the time agreed with the client.

If I go there in advance to report to the task, it would seem unprofessional if something else happens later...

So Jiang Xia did not contact the client immediately, but just sorted out the relevant information and planned to report it when the client came to him.

…

A few days later, Jiang Xia received a call on his regular mobile phone.

It was Suzuki Sonoko calling.

She said shyly, "Jiang Xia, Jiangxia! Remember to attend the celebration party for the "Rex" band tonight. We made an appointment last time!"

When this band was mentioned, Jiang Xia immediately thought of a male star with an arrogant expression, a sharp tongue and hair that looked like a Saiyan.

"I will definitely be there on time." Jiang Xia said calmly that he would not be late.

Suzuki Sonoko was relieved and hung up the phone happily.

…

The Rex band chose a KTV in a remote location as the gathering place.

The celebration banquet was held in the evening.

It got dark early, and Jiang Xia followed the address all the way there.

On the way, he saw an iron tower with colorful lights on the edge, an electronic sign with a bulge in the middle, a bow-shaped rooftop advertising light, a five-pointed star Ferris wheel, and a very gloomy building with the huge words "Ghost Sakura" hanging on it.

Jiang Xia: “…” Looks so familiar.

He looked up at the "Ghost Sakura" building and suddenly remembered a case. He wanted to go over and take a look.

However, recalling the newspapers he had read recently, Jiang Xia remembered that there was no relevant information published there: in other words, the time had not yet come, and if he went there now, there would probably be nothing to gain.

And I have an appointment tonight.

If he was late for the first party, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko would mistakenly think that he came reluctantly and considerately stop looking for him...

That would certainly miss a lot of cases.

Jiang Xia thought that was not possible.

Thinking of this, he memorized the location of the "Ghost Baby" building and continued to go to the KTV so as not to be late.
