Chapter 1129 1137 [The policeman you are talking about is not me]
Toru Amuro nodded, feeling relieved that Jiang Xia mentioned the word "police" in his words.
Unfortunately...
Toru Amuro glanced into the hall: no police came to check the restroom where many clues were hidden, but they were all concentrated near the floor-to-ceiling windows and the truck... Come to think of it, according to this situation, if there wasn't another murdered body hidden in the store, perhaps only the traffic police and nearby small police would come to deal with it, and the Investigation Section might not come.
As he was thinking, Toru Amuro sighed: he noticed that the only people with gray marks on the bathroom windowsill were Jiang Xia and himself.
"..."Hmm? Wait.
The "policeman" Jiang Xia was talking about couldn't be referring to...
This thought suddenly flashed through Amuro Toru's mind, and he couldn't help but look at Jiang Xia.
But Jiang Xia was still concentrating on studying the window frame. He didn't turn around to give him an understanding smile, nor did he imitate Gin's gloomy sneer... It was as if he had just said it casually, literally.
"..." Amuro Toru was silent for a moment: Maybe he was overthinking. Jiang Xia seemed to have a good relationship with the police officers of the Investigation Division 1, maybe he was just speaking for them subconsciously...
How could Jiang Xia find out that he was a policeman? He had never interacted with his subordinates in front of Jiang Xia, and he had no similar behavior habits - impossible. Absolutely impossible.
…
The two of them walked around the cafe.
When we returned to Officer Sato, President Ohara was still arguing with the police.
The honest-looking middle-aged man wiped his sweat and kept checking his watch: "You heard it too. My company has an urgent matter. If we don't transfer the money, our supply will be cut off, and then we will face bankruptcy! - It won't take too long, just ten minutes or so, let me transfer the money first."
"It's still some time before 4 o'clock, so wait a while before leaving." Officer Sato obviously didn't want him to leave like this, but he didn't find a reason to detain him.
It is indeed as Toru Amuro said, there are too many "coincidences" related to President Ohara in today's truck hit-and-run incident.
But coincidences are just coincidences after all. No matter how coincidental they are, they cannot be used as direct evidence.
Conan was also a little anxious. Although he didn't have a good impression of Amuro Toru, he was also very persistent in the "truth". President Ohara was indeed suspicious, and Conan felt that he had guessed the method of committing the crime.
As he was thinking, Conan accidentally touched the anesthetic watch on his wrist, and he suddenly felt certain.
——It’s not a big problem. If President Ohara insists on leaving, then we can drug him until we find evidence.
However, there is a problem with doing this: someone might discover the secret of the anesthesia watch... I don't know if I can get away with it by saying that "President Ohara has narcolepsy."
…
Fortunately, before Conan could take any risk, he suddenly saw two people walking towards him from the coffee shop.
Conan's eyes lit up.
He turned to President Ohara, who was yelling that he was leaving, and Officer Sato, who was trying to stop him, and raised the object wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand: "How strange! Look, I picked up a strange piece of wood."
——If it were any other time, Conan would probably have spoken more bluntly.
But now, there are two suspicious characters around, Subaru Okiya and Toru Amuro. Although Subaru Okiya may be a ally, Conan still dare not take the risk and can only act like a curious elementary school student who loves to solve cases.
Jiang Xia heard it from afar and answered with understanding: "What wood?"
Conan handed him the handkerchief. Jiang Xia took a look at it and handed it to the policeman next to him - not Toru Amuro, but an officer from the forensic department who came rushing over after hearing the noise.
Although I only passed it through my hands once.
But Jiang Xia quickly said what Conan wanted to say: "In some places, you can see faint marks of being tied to the wood?"
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked around, and his eyes soon fell on a bus stop.
——It was right in front of where Toru Amuro had parked his bus. At this moment, there was an empty bus parked inside the platform. The bus driver had apparently noticed the police gathered in this area and was looking over here, like a curious civet.
"Eh? Oh, right." Mao Lilan heard their conversation and suddenly remembered something, "I remember that a little while before the truck crashed into the cafe, there was a bus like this passing by the bend outside the cafe, and it was dragging a broken line like a spider silk behind it. I didn't see clearly what material it was made of, but I just remember that it was very beautiful in the sun, so it left a deep impression on me..."
Sato Miwako's ears twitched, and she vaguely caught something: "Go check out that bus!"
…
The bus driver was eating a melon from a distance when he suddenly noticed a group of people running towards him.
The driver was startled and quickly straightened his uniform and hat, intending to ask what was going on.
But before he could open his mouth, the group of people walked right past him, ran to the back of the car, and gathered around the back of the car to take a closer look.
After a moment, the policewoman's voice was heard with emotion: "There really is a steel wire!"
driver:"……?"
…
"This is the bus terminal. Buses that arrive here will stop for ten minutes before leaving." The driver carefully explained the situation. "At the time you mentioned, I was driving around and happened to pass by here... But that was because of work. I am innocent! I stayed in my car the whole time, and the surveillance can prove it."
Amuro Toru nodded: "In this case, the situation is very clear - President Ohara knew in advance the relevant patterns of buses and trucks appearing here. He first asked the deceased to go to the cafe and let the deceased sit in the reserved 'best position to be hit', and then he made an excuse to go to the bathroom, climbed out of the bathroom window, and came to the side of the truck.
“There was a bus stop right in front of my truck, and there were buses parked there.
"President Ohara first placed wooden wedges under the wheels of the truck to prevent it from sliding. He then used steel wires to connect the wooden wedges to the bus in front. He then secretly got into my car and changed the handbrake and gear position so that it could slide at any time.
"In this way, when the time comes, the bus will drive away, the wooden wedge will be pulled away, and the truck will start to slide and crash into the cafe..."
I feel a little tired as I talk.
Amuro Toru couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia, hoping that the employee would finish the remaining work. However, he found that Jiang Xia was distracted and looking at the building in the distance, and ignored him completely.
Amuro Toru: "..." Damn the murderer, with so many methods to choose from, he insisted on using a "car accident" to crush the deceased, causing Jiang Xia to be offline now...
Speaking of which, Toru Amuro suddenly thought: In this case, it seems that there is a reporter broadcasting live nearby.
"..." I don't know if that person took the picture of Jiang Xia not in good shape - if this weakness is exposed, and some criminal uses it to deal with Jiang Xia in the future, wouldn't things be troublesome?
