Chapter 1064 1072 [Gin, don't run around]
"?!" Amuro Toru suddenly raised his head and looked at him, "What did you find?"
Jiang Xia pointed at the hem of the corpse's skirt. From his angle, he could vaguely see a small upside-down wine cup underneath.
"This is not an ordinary murder case." Jiang Xia whispered, "It's a serial murder case. This wine cup is the token left by the murderer. Similar cases have happened twice before. I saw the file from Inspector Megure before I went upstairs."
Toru Amuro: "..."
...Serial murders, serial murders, why are you talking about it so seriously? I almost thought Jiang Xia had discovered some important clues and caught the tail of some cunning cadre.
However, it is certainly not easy to say this directly.
Amuro Toru could only nod like a detective: "...I see."
Before we could talk any more, the elevator dinged.
The police who had been waiting downstairs for a long time came upstairs and rushed over.
…
"Someone fastened a wire to the victim's necklace, and then used the force of the falling painting to pull the victim up?" Inspector Megure touched his chin thoughtfully after hearing what Jiang Xia said. "Since someone could tamper with the victim's necklace, the most suspicious person should be the employee who stayed on the stage at that time - who was on the stage at that time?"
"It's just me and Mr. Kisaragi." Fengjian Yingyan sighed, "Oh, the secretary is here too, but she's standing at the side of the stage, in charge of operating the lift, and she's some distance away from us."
Amuro Toru subconsciously glanced at the designer, and thinking of his master who "had a criminal record and intended to blow up all asymmetrical architectural works", he couldn't help but secretly look at Tokiwa Mio.
——Although the pattern on the chairman’s clothes is symmetrical, his hairstyle is not. The hair on his forehead is slightly tilted to the side, which barely fits in with Kazama Hidehiko’s aesthetic of “no symmetry”, so the murderer should not be him... snap.
Amuro Toru was halfway through his thoughts when he slapped his forehead expressionlessly, forcibly interrupting his thoughts:
How can a murder case be speculated based on such a frivolous idea... After staying at the crime scene with Jiang Xia for a long time, my train of thought seemed to be disturbed. There were really too many suspicious people, so I had to randomly exclude them and lock in the direction of the investigation.
…
Next to him, although Jiang Xia was blamed innocently, his thinking was obviously different from that of Amuro Toru who was in a state of confusion, and he sounded more reliable than the boss.
He asked several suspects: "Where did Chairman Tokiwa get the necklace he was wearing? It's hard for a normal necklace string to be strong enough to hang a person on it for several minutes without breaking... This is more like a specially prepared killing device."
Several men looked at each other, as if they hadn't noticed these details at all: "How would we know where her necklace came from..."
"That pearl necklace seems to have been given to me by someone else."
Secretary Sawada Chinami whispered, "She said it was a gift she received recently and it matched her outfit today, so she put it on. I didn't ask who gave it to her - I just complimented her on how pretty it was, and Chairman Tokiwa took the opportunity to tell her about it."
Conan also remembered something and pointed to the side: "What about this painting? When was it delivered?"
"Last night." Fengjian Yingyan had some impression of the painting. "Several employees moved in together. I didn't see the details, but I met them at the elevator entrance. But Mr. Kisaragi supervised the whole process - after all, it was his painting, and he was very concerned about it."
…
Toru Amuro is always worried that this murder case will affect major events.
He thought of the time bombs that were planted in various places in the banquet hall, and just wanted to solve this murder case as soon as possible. Amuro Toru recalled the expressions of everyone just now, and took advantage of Fengjian Yingyan's words to say:
"So, Mr. Kisaragi seems suspicious."
Inspector Megure shook his head. He also found the upside-down wine cup on the ground. "But this is a serial murder case! In the second case, Mr. Hara's death, Mr. Kisaragi had a solid alibi - you see."
As he spoke, he had already found out the information about the second case. He was well prepared and very friendly to the detective.
Amuro Toru frowned and glanced at them, his eyes suddenly fixed on one of the photos. The photo captured the overall condition of the body - it was Yuan Jiaming who died with his eyes open, and in his hand, he was holding a silver table knife tightly.
That "silver dinner knife" reminded Toru Amuro of something, and his eyes changed slightly: Silver, GIN...
Gin?!
“…”
Beside him, Jiang Xia silently observed the changes in his eyes:...What's up with the boss and Conan having the same train of thought, special attack on Gin?
Or is it that Gin's luck is just too bad, so his identity is always guessed by chance?
Jiang Xia sighed and stopped interfering with the organization cadres' battle of wits and courage across the air.
He lowered his head and searched along the stage for clues. After walking a few meters, he was suddenly startled.
"..." Jiang Xia received the message from Mist Tengu according to the contract.
Kiri Tengu was clinging to Huihara Ai as a bodyguard, following her around. Now one person and one ghost had come to the 50th floor. Kiri Tengu vaguely sensed the familiar smell of alcohol and murderous aura, which was located in the computer room on the 40th floor of the building.
——Gin didn’t snipe from a distance, but ran into the building.
Jiang Xia: "..." Could it be that just now, Gin saw Suzuki Sonoko with a perm in the style of Haibara Ai from afar and came chasing after her with a gun in hand? Jiang Xia actually always suspected that this boss was a bit face-blind. Thinking of this, he raised his hand and touched his hair, thinking about something, and was a little curious whether Gin would be able to recognize him if he went to see him with a perm next time.
…But we’ll talk about the fun later.
For now, we still need to understand the current abnormal situation.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia glanced at the freight elevator in the distance, then turned back to look at the people gathered around the stage, busy solving the case. Finding that no one was paying attention to him for the time being, he moved his feet slightly and secretly slipped away from the banquet hall on the top floor.
Although the explosion is not far away, Jiang Xia has a fire-proof and invincible ghost next to him, as well as Matsuda Jinpei who can secretly tamper with the bomb, so he is not afraid of the explosion.
Since I'm free now, I might as well go down and join in the fun.
Speaking of which, Jiang Xia always felt it was a bit strange - if Gin really followed Suzuki Sonoko into the building, then he should have entered the banquet hall on the top floor, but now, he stayed on the 40th floor... Could it be that he discovered something that concerned him along the way, such as Haibara Ai wandering around the building, so he changed his route?
In addition to Haibara Ai, the current unstable factor is Shuichi Akai, whose hiding place is unknown.
