Chapter 1263 1271 [You are a devil] Ask for monthly ticket (`)
"!" The two policemen were startled. After a moment, they came to their senses and stopped the captain who wanted to open the shower curtain, "Wait, let us do it!"
They put on gloves and carefully pulled open the curtain. When they saw the scene in the bathroom, their hearts skipped a beat and they couldn't help but turn around to look at the high school detective.
Several college students stood on tiptoe and looked inside curiously.
Seeing who was inside, they cried out in amazement: "See you?!"
In the hot water pouring down from the shower head, the once very arrogant drunk man sat with his head down and leaning against the wall, his body covered in water, with a sharp long knife stuck in front of him - except for the bloodstains that were washed away by the water, everything else was exactly the same as the scene the three people from the Kendo Club saw in the sports warehouse, as if someone had cut and pasted the body here in the short few minutes when they left to call the police and an ambulance.
Jiang Xia looked at the two stunned policemen and pushed the progress bar forward: "Is the person still alive?"
"!" Thinking of the disappearance of the body just now, the police came to his senses and hurried forward to check. Then he shook his head regretfully: the person is dead.
“So just now… we were not mistaken?” Several college students looked pale.
"But how did they get the body here?" Hattori Heiji recalled the route just now and felt that something was wrong. "There is no hidden path from the warehouse of the annex to the swimming pool. If we take the body out, we will definitely be seen by many witnesses on the road... I remember that there was a group of people sitting next to the annex eating lunch boxes. This would make it even more difficult to transport the body."
"We'll talk about this later." The policeman came back to his senses and started to drive people away. "Leave here first - this may also be the scene of the crime. Don't destroy the remaining clues."
…
The group was driven outside by the police.
Of course, when chasing detectives, the police's actions were a little more polite, revealing an indescribable strange awe.
Jiang Xia and Hattori Heiji walked out of the locker room and saw a girl with a ponytail looking around nearby.
A second later, Toyama and Ye turned around as if they had noticed something. Seeing them, they waved and ran over: "Heiji? The semi-finals will start in half an hour. Why aren't you getting ready yet?"
Hattori Heiji snorted, "Semi-finals? People have died now, how can we care about the game?"
Yuanshan Heye was stunned: "...someone died? What does that mean?"
Jiang Xia pointed to the locker room and said, "It's just what you think. Someone died in the locker room of the swimming pool."
"And the death process is very strange." Hattori Heiji sighed, "I haven't figured out the method yet, so how can I have the mood to compete?"
Yuanshan Heye said "Hmm?", as if she found the question inexplicable. She pointed at Jiang Xia and said, "Isn't Jiang Xia here? You are not the only detective - you go to the competition, and Jiang Xia goes to solve the case. Isn't this perfect?"
Hattori Heiji: “……?” Not good at all!!
...We took every precaution, but unexpectedly something unexpected still happened on the field.
But speaking of this...
Hattori Heiji suddenly had an idea and turned to look at Jiang Xia: "How about you go and compete for me?"
Jiang Xia: “Hmm?”
He recalled the situation on the field, remembered that the opponent from Gaifan High School did not have murderous intent, and thought about the heavy and not very handsome protective gear, and declined: "You should go by yourself. If you are worried about the case and cannot concentrate on the game, I can tell you the murderer and some of the methods in advance - although there is still some lack of evidence, the murderer should be..."
"I'm going to the game first!!"
Hattori Heiji interrupted him and quickly left the scene.
...I finally came across an interesting mystery, how can I let Jiang Xia solve it now?
Behind him, Toyama and Ye watched him walk towards the arena and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she remembered something and looked at Jiang Xia with sparkling eyes: "It would be great if you could stay in Osaka more often - next time that Tokyo kid comes to Osaka, you must come with him! I'll call you then."
——It’s usually okay. Even if we encounter a case, it’s mostly theft or assault.
But for some reason, every time there are guests coming to Tokyo, various murder cases will pop up.
These two days, she originally wanted to take Xiaolan to have a good look around Osaka and cultivate some relationship with Hattori, but she didn't expect to run into a murder case as soon as they went out... Then the ones who developed a relationship became Hattori and that Tokyo kid.
After hearing her story, Jiang Xia couldn't help but reveal a look of heartache.
"Haha, it's okay!" Yuanshan Heye was startled, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and hurriedly laughed, "Actually, I don't care that much."
Jiang Xia: “…”…But I care a lot.
Toyama Kazuha was unable to read his hesitation to speak, but was just a little touched: she didn't expect Jiang Xia to care so much about her - she had originally just complained a few words casually, and when she said that, she thought that as a high school detective, Jiang Xia must also think that Hattori and Conan should be given priority in solving the case.
But who would have thought, judging from Jiang Xia's expression, he was actually on her side.
Thinking of this, Toyama Kazuha couldn't help but feel a little touched, and continued to comfort him: "In fact, it's also very interesting to watch Heiji solve cases, but there are too many cases, so it's a bit annoying - and don't we have you in the future? If you encounter a murder case when you are out and about, you can solve the case, and then we can continue to play!"
"..." Jiang Xia felt that this Osaka classmate was not good at comforting people. The more he listened to the first half of the sentence, the heavier his mood became.
But the second half is pretty good...
He nodded in agreement.
…
Afterwards, Toyama Kazuha went to the kendo competition.
Jiang Xia met a man who was rushing in at the door of the locker room.
Since a murder had occurred, the nearby police station reported the case to the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, so Otaki Goro, the inspector of the First Investigation Division who had a good relationship with Hattori Heiji, came to the scene.
Jiang Xia was just about to follow in to get some information, and then go in quickly when all the information was ready. At this time, someone came back jogging.
Jiang Xia was startled, looking at Yuanshan and Ye who came back: "What's wrong, did you forget something here?"
Yuanshan Heye sighed and shook his phone. "That guy Hattori asked me to pass the clues from the scene to him, and he even specifically marked it to 'remove Jiang Xia's version'... Is the method this time complicated? He is so interested."
As he was talking, he remembered that today's match was quite important, and his opponent was also very strong. If Heiji lost his focus on reasoning, and got injured and bled like last time...
Thinking of this, Yuanshan Heye looked at his mobile phone, pondered for a moment, and made a resolute decision.
She looked at Jiang Xia and waved her fist to cheer him up: "Keep going and solve the case! When the time comes, I will put the murderer's name and key techniques at the very beginning of the email and make sure he sees them as soon as he opens it - this way, there will be no suspense and he can concentrate on the competition!"
