Chapter 1277 1285 [Case Closed] Request for monthly pass (づど)
Gin had no doubt that Uzo had the ability to get the stalker out of police headquarters.
But to be honest, he was quite skeptical about Uzo's motives - he didn't believe in nonsense like "Uzo is loyal to the organization", this guy must have his own purpose.
Jiang Xia heard Gin's subtle vigilance and said frankly: "Don't be nervous. I just think it's too boring to continue watching those 'fratricide' dramas after I finally got out. Your tailman is about to be released from the police station anyway, you just need to sit back and enjoy the results - how about it, you are lucky to have a helpful colleague like me."
Gin twisted the cigarette in his hand vigorously: "..." The person was originally sent in by Uzo. What kind of helping others is this? This is at most expiating one's sins.
But now that he had a solution, he didn't bother to worry about the details. If Uzo was willing to work overtime, he would do it.
Rather than spending time on a few useless people, Gin actually cared more about the delayed Senran Hyotan.
——From the time when the three stalkers left their posts, it is likely that the first victim was killed on the way to take over. This means that there is a gap in the stalking line. If the tour group they were watching happened to enter Osaka Castle and leave during this gap...
Just as I was thinking about it, Jiang Xia's voice suddenly came from the other side of the receiver again: "By the way, speaking of surveillance, are you looking for Qian Chengpiaodan?"
“…”
Gin paused slightly and subconsciously looked around the car, suspecting that Uzo had installed surveillance or eavesdropping devices in the car when he was not paying attention.
He didn't say anything, but Jiang Xia seemed to know the answer from his silence: "In that case, leave this matter to me, and you can just treat it as a trip - also, are there any other tasks? If so, bring them all together."
"No." Gin said firmly.
This time, Wuzo was already involved in this matter, so he let Wuzo share the task. As for the others... It's impossible for him to show Wuzo a task first every time he has a task - it's like reporting his itinerary to Wuzo. No, absolutely not.
"Okay." Jiang Xia sounded a little disappointed. After a long conversation, he didn't get any new tasks out of him. He quickly lost interest in chatting, "Then I'll go solve the case first."
…
Jiang Xia hung up the phone and returned to the familiar world of detectives, police and suspects.
At this point, because they had not been able to find the container containing the poison and lacked other physical evidence to convict them, the three suspects gradually straightened their backs.
"Haven't we been searched just now? We don't have any poison on us!"
"Why do you think the murderer is among the three of us? The deceased offends people every day. If we only look at his motive, the people who want to kill him may line up from Osaka Castle all the way to the door of my store."
"Yes, maybe the murderer is another customer. He randomly poisoned the victim and took the opportunity to leave. The victim was just unlucky enough to eat the poisoned sushi. Anyway, there are surveillance cameras in the restaurant, so why don't you catch up with the other customers and ask them."
"..." Hattori Heiji and Conan frowned and looked at the three people. Their detective intuition told them that the murderer must be among these three people. It was a pity that they had no evidence yet.
But, just a little bit more.
As long as they can get a little more key information, they will be able to...
The next moment, it was as if someone had heard their thoughts, and "a key thing" fell from the sky.
Someone came from the corner of the store, stood by, and watched the three suspects quarreling. Then, after they finished speaking, he calmly said, "Don't bother looking for other customers. The murderer should be the gentleman in the blue hat."
Conan: “…”
Hattori Heiji: "..."
...The "key" they want to grasp is the clue, not the answer!
The two of them looked at each other with eyes twitching slightly, their eyes were filled with complicated thoughts: In the past two days, they have experienced too many normal cases without Jiang Xia, and they are not used to the days of being slapped in the face by reference answers... Damn it, when they were in Osaka Castle just now, they should have let Jiang Xia go with that weird role-playing tour group. They will meet up with him after solving the case.
It was completely different from the complicated feelings of the two detectives.
Next to him, Inspector Otaki's eyes lit up slightly: Jiang Xia finally finished the call.
He remembered that Jiang Xia was, after all, a famous detective who would accept commissions, and was worried that another call would interrupt the case-solving process, so he hurriedly asked, "Tell me in detail?"
Jiang Xia pointed to the left hand of the corpse: "The deceased was left-handed."
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly remembered something, and she slammed her fist down, revealing an expression that said, "I got it!" "I've seen this in mystery novels! The murderer coated the left side of all the plates with poison, and the victim took the plate from the conveyor belt with his left hand, and then picked up the sushi with his left hand and put it into his mouth, so he was poisoned. But right-handed people will be fine."
"I see!" Inspector Otaki also showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
He turned around and was about to ask the officers to check all the plates on the sushi conveyor belt.
But at this time, Hattori Heiji and Conan hesitated and said: "But the accuracy of poisoning in this way does not seem to be as high as described in the novel."
A normal case suddenly turned into a proof problem. The two high school detectives were inevitably a little uninterested.
But it was still a mystery after all. They were a little tired, but their brains started to work instinctively.
Hattori Heiji patted Conan's head and said, "Some children use both hands to take the plates because they are weak or too excited. In addition, even if all other customers in the store are right-handed, there is no guarantee that they will take the plates with their right hands and eat with their right hands. Some people are too lazy to wipe their hands and will take them with their left hands. This way, the scope of accidental injury is too large."
Jiang Xia hummed, "So the poison didn't spread from the plate to the deceased's hands, but the other way around, from the deceased's hands to the plate. There were also some rice grains on the deceased's left hand. He was the type of person who ate sushi with his hands instead of chopsticks. So he would need to wipe his hands frequently while eating."
As he spoke, he pointed to the door and said, "For example, these disposable wipes that you can pick up in the store."
Upon hearing this, Inspector Otaki looked at the deceased's table, a little confused: "There are no leftover wet wipes on the deceased's table... No, there is a small piece of torn packaging bag, but the wet wipes and other parts of the packaging bag are gone!"
Jiang Xia nodded: "The murderer put the poison in his own wet wipes beforehand - the deceased was left-handed, and the wet wipes were usually placed on his left hand. The murderer also 'happened' to be sitting on his left side, and the two wet wipes were very close. All he had to do was find an opportunity to quickly switch the wet wipes when the deceased had a conflict with someone else."
