Chapter 13001308 [Follow the Clues]
Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin and guessed, "Could it be that this organizer gathered the tourists, but hid behind the scenes and killed people in secret?"
"Yeah, that guy is suspicious no matter how you think about it, right?" The person who said this was a member of the tour group.
They obviously didn't want to be considered suspects, so they encouraged him, "Go find Mr. Murano. Search the webpage for 'Legendary Golden King', and you'll find his contact information. We're very tired today, so we'll go back and rest first."
After saying that, the only three people left in the tour group did not stay, but left in a hurry with their own thoughts.
…
There is currently no evidence to prove that they are the murderers.
In addition, Toyama Ginjiro and Hattori Heizo seemed to no longer want to deal with the case, and the police were far from sufficient in number, so they were unable to stop them.
"We have to go back to the police station." Inspector Otaki directed the few remaining subordinates to carry the body away and clean up the scene. Then he looked at the high school students and said, "You are tired all day. Go back and rest."
...Let me have a rest. But don't go to some nightclub to have fun and then encounter another nightclub murder case. If there is really a nightclub that dares to let these minors in, he will definitely ask his colleagues to investigate and punish them severely.
Yuanshan Heye was also a little tired. Even when she heard the word "rest", she couldn't help yawning.
Then he flipped through his notebook out of habit and sighed, "I ended up doing nothing all day... Damn it, I must make a more solid plan next time."
Jiang Xia: "..." Hmm? Isn't it a very fulfilling day?
While silently expressing his objection in his heart, he opened his email and sent a message to Gin.
Night has fallen. It's time to get up and work, hardworking and murderous scavengers, and not-so-hardworking but murderous workers.
After sending the message, I looked up and saw three girls nearby, looking around in confusion: "Where did those two people go?"
"Maybe he found some clues and went to investigate without permission." Jiang Xia closed his phone. "You guys go back in the police car first. I'll go look for him."
Before the three of them could react, he quickly ran away, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
…
At this time, Conan and Hattori Heiji were still walking and reasoning.
During the conversation, they slowly sorted out their thoughts:
"The marks on the right side of the victim's chest look like zipper marks. She must have died before she entered the river."
"However, how can we make a dead person 'struggle' in public? It might be possible to make him shake his body, but Jiang Xia and the others said that they clearly saw the person who jumped into the river light up a lighter - the hands are one of the most difficult parts to control. What kind of mechanism is needed to accomplish this?"
As he was speaking, a voice suddenly floated from behind him: "Maybe it's because the person who jumped into the river was actually a living person?"
“?!”
The two detectives were startled and turned around suddenly.
Seeing Jiang Xia, they all took a step back: "You... why are you here too!?"
As they were talking, their eyes fell on the umbrella in Jiang Xia's hand, which he bought from the convenience store.
……umbrella.
zipper.
People jumping into the river.
There were also deaths from falling from the roof.
In an instant, all the clues were connected in their minds as if by a thread. The two said in unison: "I understand!"
Jiang Xia: “…” I’m glad you understand. Why are you yelling so loudly? What if there are outlaws around eavesdropping?
…
The identity of the murderer is actually hidden in the grip of the first victim.
——He held the umbrella in Jiang Xia's hand at that time.
Although umbrella can refer to many things, such as umbrella, rain, sunshade, and even mushrooms and barriers...but considering a series of events, what the deceased wanted to say at the time was actually "golden umbrella."
That is the horse seal of "Oda Nobunaga".
——He wanted to say that "the Lord" was the murderer.
The gentle lord, who only asked others to run errands for him even though he won the draw, actually controlled the life and death of other team members invisibly and successfully killed two people.
…
Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Xia: "Did you say that on purpose before?!"
Jiang Xia nodded and sighed: "When I saw where the 'Master' family crest was pinned, I almost guessed it."
"You...!" Hattori Heiji was a little excited and tried to grab Jiang Xia's collar... but he failed. Jiang Xia subconsciously crossed the umbrella to block him, so Hattori Heiji grabbed the umbrella handle.
"..." Detective Osaka was silent for a moment, took half a second to think, and then felt that it didn't matter what he caught, what was important was to express his emotions.
And if you didn't catch it once, then trying to catch it a second time would be too embarrassing...
So he had to hold the umbrella pole and said excitedly: "Then why didn't you say it just now! Could it be that you want to give me the chance to solve the case out of sympathy?! Now let the murderer go, if he kills a third person..."
"I just think there's something else going on here, and we need to be cautious." Jiang Xia let go of his hand, and in front of Hattori Heiji's shocked gaze, he took out another umbrella like a magician and opened it to cover his head. "As for the third person who might be killed, don't worry, he shouldn't have time to commit the crime."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and pressed a few buttons to bring up an interface.
By the way, he considerately lowered his phone a little.
"?" Conan and Hattori Heiji moved closer curiously and found a map. At a certain place on the map, a small red dot was flashing regularly.
As an expert in this field, Conan understood it instantly, and his eyes became complicated: "Transmitter?"
"Yeah." Jiang Xia nodded and pressed something on the phone again.
The map quickly refreshed, and a clear route gradually emerged on the interface. The zigzag line went straight from their location to the moving signal point.
As Hattori Heiji looked at him in silence, asking, "Are you guys so high-tech in solving cases?" Jiang Xia took back his phone and said, "Let's go take a look. After this period of time, if he still has some conspiracy behind him, we can catch him in the act."
…
The three of them followed the directions on the phone and headed to where the "Lord" was currently.
While looking at the navigation, Conan couldn't help but mutter: "When will you install a transmitter for others?"
After I asked him, he fell silent: Is there any need to ask? It must have been the boss who taught me how to do it. Maybe he even gave me the equipment.
Hattori Heiji's focus is different from Conan's.
He was actually a little touched for a moment: this time, Jiang Xia did not lead the police to catch the murderer... Although it is not ruled out that he wanted to take the opportunity to kill someone, at least from the result, Jiang Xia chose him between him and his father.
