Chapter 880 You should try harder

"I wanted to call the police right away, but then I remembered this investigation report." Yoshioka Juro smiled bitterly, "If you find it after searching the scene, I will definitely become a suspect and be forced to accept the investigation. So I thought... take it away first."

Sato Miwako looked at him speechlessly: "You are worried that the police will investigate you for embezzlement of public funds after discovering the information - your worry is correct. Anyway, after this case is over, no matter who the murderer is, please come with us."

"...Oh." Yoshioka Juro responded listlessly, turned around and muttered to himself.

Listening closely, I could hear him muttering something like "Damn policemen, I'll kill you when I get back!"

The mermaid happened to pass by him, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but stop, waiting for a while with shining eyes.

But after a long time, the aura around Yoshioka Juro remained unchanged.

Mermaid: “…” Liar!

Jiang Xia heard her mumbling complaints, turned around and glanced at Yoshioka Juro, who was "untrustworthy", and his attitude was quite calm.

——Just now, he followed the police to the hall, and just as he reached the door, he happily stepped on a whole ball of ownerless murderous aura that had fallen to the ground. So Jiang Xia conveniently directed the ghosts to pick it up.

And according to Yoshioka Juro's description just now, this should be exactly what he dropped.

——Yoshioka Juro probably entered the house with a full of anger, "How dare you, the bastard president, threaten me? I'll kill you!" But he found that the person was already dead... The body could not be killed again, and the murderous aura on his body would naturally disappear on the spot.

As for now, why haven’t there been any new ones?

There are many people who dare to scold the police, but not many who dare to actually take action.

This is probably like drinking vodka when facing a powerful enemy: I can’t help cursing in my heart, “I’ll kill you sooner or later!”, but because of my lack of confidence, I feel that I can’t do it and I don’t plan to take action. So I have no killing intent…

Jiang Xia: "..." Hmm? Speaking of this, I don't know how Vodka is doing.

However, judging from the information sent back by the ghosts who stayed there to gather the murderous aura, after he left, the murderous aura of Vodka has been steadily overflowing, even more than when Jiang Xia was trying to fan the flames just now, which was gratifying.

As he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia couldn't help but take a look at the freezer in the Kojima family's living room that was filled with delicious desserts.

“……”I feel like drinking vodka.

But at the same time, Jiang Xia was a little worried that the existence of "Uzo" was a factor that hindered Vodka from producing murderous aura. When he was not away just now, Vodka did not have so much murderous aura. He only fluctuated occasionally when he mentioned "engagement". Most of the time, he was more like a Buddhist monk, with a calm mind... I don't know what Vodka had in his mind during the time he was away. I have to ask the ghost carefully later so that it can be reused next time.

…

In addition, speaking of vodka, there is one more thing worth noting.

When Jiang Xia thought of this, he paused stroking the cat and looked at the three classmates present, especially Conan.

——Based on the speed at which the police cleaned up the scene on weekdays, the enthusiasm and gossip level of the classmates, and Mao Lilan's easygoing attitude of taking a statement on the spot...

If another case "happened" to happen nearby, the three of them would most likely rush to the scene in time.

In this way, they might encounter vodka...

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia looked out the window and decided to find a suitable opportunity to send a message to Vodka later.

…

When Jiang Xia was worried about his colleagues.

Next to him, Juro Yoshioka was "invited" by several policemen to wait on the sofa.

Yoshioka Juro took two steps, and suddenly came to his senses, realizing one thing - just now, although he took out the detective's investigation report and explained why he entered the house, the police only admitted that he had committed economic crimes, but did not say that they thought he would not kill people.

Yoshioka Juro: “…” You must provide more clues to find the murderer, so as to avoid becoming a scapegoat.

Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "I understand, you are the murderer!"

Several people were startled and looked in the direction he was looking.

Saw Jiangxia.

A second later, a group of people silently turned back and revealed complicated expressions of "Are you still asleep?"

"…It's not him, it's the one behind him!" Yoshioka Juro pointed at Chihiro Kojima, who was hiding most of her body behind Jiang Xia, and snorted coldly:

"She is the same as her mother! They pretend to be weak and decent in front of others, but they are more fierce than each other behind the scenes... In short, Chihiro Kojima is the murderer!

"Think about it! In the surveillance video just now, when the security guards came, President Kojima was still alive. But when I came, President Kojima was already dead. During this period, only Chihiro Kojima entered her room. Who else could the murderer be besides her?

"——Although she and the deceased are mother and daughter, Chihiro Kojima had actually fallen out with President Kojima a long time ago because she wanted to elope with a strange man. Two years ago, her husband embezzled a large amount of public funds and came to President Kojima to borrow money to fill the hole. The president didn't lend the money, so the woman went to jail and is still in jail now!

"After that, every time Chihiro Kojima saw the president, they would have a big fight - don't mention me, anyone who is a little familiar with them knows this. They must have gotten so angry tonight that she killed the president!"

Chihiro Kojima's expression gradually turned ugly.

Suddenly, her past was exposed in front of others. She was furious and slapped the table next to her. A small crack appeared on the high-quality mahogany table.

Under the shocked and vigilant gaze of several police officers, Chihiro Kojima said angrily: "I told you I didn't kill him!" At the same time, she couldn't help but roll up her sleeves, as if she would rush over and beat Juro Yoshioka if he dared to say anything more.

The police officers on both sides came to their senses and hurriedly pulled people away to stop the fight.

…

Jiang Xia, who was counting the stock of vanilla ice cream nearby, was also startled by their noise and turned to look over.

At this time, Chihiro Kojima, who was about to beat someone up, was stopped by several strong men and could not rush to Yoshioka Juro.

Her mind, confused by anger, gradually became a little clearer.

Realizing now that violence cannot solve the problem, Chihiro Kojima looked at Jiang Xia, with a little helpless tear in the corner of her eyes: "It really wasn't me!"

"...I believe you." Jiang Xia tried his best to ignore the burly policemen who were so tired that their veins were popping out in order to hold Chihiro Kojima. He said gently, "But there is one thing you must make clear first - when the security guards came, the 'President Kojima' who opened the door for them wearing a bath towel and bathrobe and a facial mask was actually you."
