Chapter 117 The Law of Conservation of Mood
Mao Lilan had seen the suicide scene in the bathroom of Qingdao's house a year ago, but at that time, it was Jiang Xia who was soaking in the bathtub.
She suddenly pushed Jiang Xia out just now because she was worried that a similar situation would trigger some kind of self-destruct button deep in Jiang Xia's memory... But why did Conan react in the same way as her?
Ran Mao Li: “…” The only ones who had seen Jiang Xia at that time were Shinichi, her, and Professor Agasa.
And Conan is just an elementary school student who appeared in Beika Town not long ago...
Mao Lilan's eyes gradually became sharp.
Conan was stared at by her, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead with guilt: "Well, actually..." As usual, he wanted to throw the blame of knowing too much on "Brother Shinichi".
But before he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered something and secretly changed his words: "Actually, I found out after asking the doctor after he got drunk..."
If you tell others about your classmates' privacy without permission, you will always feel that Xiaolan will hit you. If you put the blame on Kudo Shinichi, then the next time they meet, he may not be greeted with a hug after a long separation, but a fist of justice... This is not right, this is not right.
Conan: “…” Fortunately, Xiaolan doesn’t hit her elders, so let Professor Agasa take the blame first.
…
Mao Lilan pondered over this sentence and reluctantly believed it.
In her opinion, the Doctor really wasn't very good at keeping secrets.
Conan's observation ability is better than that of ordinary children. Jiang Xia wears a wristband on her hand all year round. If Conan feels strange, it makes sense for him to ask the doctor.
Conan successfully got through the difficult times.
He quickly changed the subject: "Sister Xiaolan, let's call the police first. By the way, don't say it's suicide when you report it. I always feel that something is wrong."
Mao Lilan nodded and dialed the number skillfully.
At the same time, Jiang Xia turned on his cell phone and checked the time.
He looked at Xiaobai's "QAQ" expression and compared it with the start time of the concert. He felt that as long as he went fast enough, he should be able to catch the first half.
Conan just happened to bring up the topic of "suicide or homicide".
Jiang Xia then followed his words and said, "I don't think it was suicide either. It's more like Miss Qingdao killed her own sister and disguised the scene as suicide.
"The romanization on her headband is a little strange - the 'yo-' in Ms. Yoko's name has a long suffix, which is also on the keychain, but not on the headband. Yoko's peripherals are all from regular manufacturers, so this kind of mistake is not likely to occur, so it may not be a missed print, but it was covered by the blood splash.
"Actually, when I walked in just now, I saw a stain above the peephole on the door. I didn't think much of it at the time, thinking that the owner of this house didn't pay much attention to hygiene... But now it seems that when Miss Qingdao checked the peephole, she accidentally stained the blood on her headband on the door, and the position was almost the same."
Jiang Xia raised his hand to indicate the height, and asked Qingdao Quandai in the bathroom through a wall: "When you killed someone, did anyone ring the doorbell, and did you go to see it?"
Qingdao Quandai: "..."
Maori Kogoro, who was holding the deceased's slit wrist and wondering whether it was suicide or homicide, said: "..."
Standing at the bathroom door, Conan, who originally thought that Jiang Xia would not be able to deduce today and was ready to solve the mystery himself, said: "..."
…
In the bathroom, Kogoro Mouri and Zenyo Aoshima looked at each other and then moved at the same time.
——Qingdao Quandai suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his forehead, trying to destroy the evidence in a dying struggle.
However, Kogoro Maori grabbed Zendai Aoshima and stopped her actions.
He carefully examined the headband and said in shock, "It really is there."
In the corridor, Conan looked at Jiang Xia who had finished his reasoning, then looked at Maori Kogoro who had just caught someone, then looked at himself who had not had time to do anything, and touched the earphone box in his pocket lonely.
The noise-isolating earmuffs had actually arrived, but this time his meeting Jiang Xia was completely an accident, so Conan did not bring the earmuffs with him.
He silently took out the memo and added a message - even if he didn't ask Jiang Xia to go out with him in the future, he must bring the noise-isolating earmuffs with him. He didn't want to be spoiled by Jiang Xia, he wanted to enjoy the reasoning.
After all, judging from what happened this time, no one knows whether Jiang Xia will suddenly appear, bring about a murder case, and then deduce the truth at the speed of reading an outline...
…
The only thing that comforted Conan tonight was that Jiang Xia only pointed out the key evidence this time, leaving a few other mysteries.
Call the police and wait for them to arrive.
Conan walked around the room and filled in the other details.
There were many packing boxes in the living room, there were marks of tape on the edge of the coffee table, and there was a circle of unclear tape next to the bathroom door... This should be because Qingdao Quandai used the excuse of moving and packing luggage to ask my sister to cut the tape into suitable lengths and stick it on the table. In this way, my sister's fingerprints would be left on the tape. Qingdao Quandai then used the tape to decorate a "secret room", making it look like my sister had sealed herself in the bathroom.
Also, the tape that is just loosely applied cannot actually seal the door.
Qingdao Quandai originally planned to secretly turn the door handle to open the door when knocking on the door, pretending that the door was sealed tightly before, but was later knocked open.
This is an interesting technique worth pondering for a while, but...
Conan recalled the scene just now when Jiang Xia tried to twist the door casually and ended up pushing it open...
“……” Just thinking about it makes me feel desperate for the entire Qingdao generation.
Suddenly he met someone who was even more unlucky than him. Conan's hunched back straightened up a little unconsciously.
…
Inspector Megure arrived quickly.
This time, he didn't even have time to say hello before he picked up a murderer with a dazed look on his face.
The murderer seemed to have experienced some kind of blow. He said whatever he was asked and looked like he had given up thinking.
After Officer Sato finished taking notes, he thought of Jiang Xia's past behavior and couldn't help but secretly lift up the corner of Qingdao Quanda's clothes to take a look.
However, no scars were found on the murderer.
She then breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Jiang Xia with relief again.
…
Although the case was solved very quickly, there are still some complicated processes behind it.
The event was halfway through when Kogoro Maori drove all the way to the concert venue.
"...The first half of my concert." Kogoro Mouri covered his head, quite frustrated.
Seeing the uncle staring silently at the gifts in other people's hands, Jiang Xia walked over to comfort him: Give him a set in a few days... This way he can go to a detective agency in the same industry and see if there are any cases that can be taken advantage of.
