Chapter 1414 1422 [Do you really trust your colleagues?] Ask for monthly tickets (`)
Beside him, Conan nodded silently: This is exactly what puzzled him. He wanted to ask just now, but Uncle Maori seemed to be worried that the elementary school students would embarrass him in front of Miss Yoko, and he kept staring at him. Conan cleverly realized that he might be hit on the head as soon as he opened his mouth... Fortunately, there was a classmate who would not be hit, so he could ask questions freely.
The young patrolman was stunned when he heard Jiang Xia's question.
Then he suddenly thought of something and started to panic, waving his hands repeatedly: "I didn't plan this, I was just used!"
"......?" Jiang Xia suspected that he had been infected with paranoid delusions by the vodka. "I didn't say you planned it. You just need to explain why you did these things."
The patrolman breathed a sigh of relief and nodded nervously: "Actually, I was on patrol when I suddenly received a call. Someone called the police and said that he saw a figure in that building and asked me to go over and take a look immediately. That building is a dangerous building and no one is allowed to enter. I was worried about something happening, so I rushed over immediately.
"After arriving at the place, I first saw a tall man standing next to the car downstairs, and then I heard some noise coming from the iron stairs above. As you know, those stairs make a lot of noise when they are running, especially since they are a bit broken, so the noise is even louder. I looked over and saw a figure upstairs..."
He described again what he had seen in the abandoned building.
But before he could finish, Inspector Megure stood up excitedly: "Have you received a call about the building? It's such an important matter, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"You didn't ask earlier..." The patrolman blurted out aggrievedly. After a moment, he felt something was wrong and quickly braked, changing the subject, "Well, I mean, I'm a bit clumsy. I didn't expect this to be an important clue. By the way, the police station has a recording of this call!"
Jiang Xia turned around and glanced at him: The topic change was really smooth, this young policeman looked very promising...
Inspector Megure's attention was immediately diverted. He grabbed a lucky errand boy and said, "Quick, find someone to identify the voiceprint!"
The young policeman he chose nodded and walked away quickly with a serious expression.
…
Even with the new clues, Sato Miwako still sighed, feeling that the situation was not optimistic. "But even if it was Himuro who called, if he only called the police in advance, it would still be difficult to prove that he was the murderer."
After all, she had worked in the First Investigation Division for several years and was very familiar with the various criminals' excuses: "For example, he said he was just bored and called the police to play tricks on them. He could even say he just heard that the deceased had a suicide plan and wanted to save him, completely disassociating himself from the illegal behavior..."
As he was speaking, Yoko Kinoshita, who had been on the phone nearby, came back.
Unlike the heavy atmosphere on the police side, her communication with the radio program director seemed very smooth.
Kinoshita Yoko looked at Jiang Xia and said happily, "I have contacted someone. The person in charge seems to be your fan as well. He sounds very supportive of your work. He said he will retrieve the tape immediately."
The patrolman sat nearby, watching the scene silently. While blushing at Kinoshita Yoko, he couldn't help but fantasize: I wish I were a famous detective like Jiang Xia. Always the focus of reporters, a good friend of the public, and a good helper of the police. The name of "Fully Automatic One-Click Off-duty Flight" was widely known in the Metropolitan Police Department, and even a marginal policeman like him had heard of it.
Little Patrolman: "..." Of course, the most important thing is to get to know a cute idol lady across circles. In that case, when he works hard to deduce as a famous detective, Miss Yoko will look at him gently like now, silently providing her unique support... Ah, just thinking about it makes me feel so wonderful that I feel like flying.
He couldn't help but move his body excitedly, imagining how he would then speak his famous lines elegantly and handsomely.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed a sharp and terrifying gaze.
The young patrolman was startled and turned his head alertly.
He saw the middle-aged detective sitting on the sofa next to him, and the elementary school student next to the middle-aged detective, staring at him quietly.
Little patrolman: “…”
...What are you doing!
Did they realize my intention?
When he thought of the scene he had just imagined, he lowered his head in shame.
…
Next to the patrolman, two detectives, one big and one small, were actually thinking about something completely different.
Kogoro Maori looked alert: "..." This aura... is it a love rival?
Conan looked suspicious: "..." Why is this policeman so restless? In fact, theoretically speaking, he himself has the opportunity to commit the crime. It's just that compared to him, Himuro Reiji's suspicion and motive are more sufficient. But now that I think about it, the detective can't stick to the appearance. While digging deep for clues about Himuro Reiji, it seems that I should also seriously rule out the suspicion of this patrolman...
Jiang Xia chatted with Kinoshita Yoko for a few words. When he turned around, he saw that for some reason, Mouri Kogoro and Conan were staring at the young patrolman next to them with complicated looks.
Jiang Xia: “……?”
The two genuine detectives made the same move at the same time. As a fake detective who wasn't really that genuine, Jiang Xia was puzzled, but he also stared at them with a similar look.
At the same time, he moved his finger slightly in the blind spot at his side and poked the ghost next to him: What happened just now?
He didn't look in the direction of the patrolman, nor did he pay attention to what was happening there.
But with so many bored subordinates floating around, there must be some clever ones who can recapitulate what just happened.
…
A few seconds later.
Jiang Xia was watching Miyano Akemi, the mermaid and Miss Spider playing three roles, muttering to himself as he reconstructed the scene just now.
At this moment, the patrolman next to him seemed unable to withstand the pressure brought by the detectives' gazes. In his eagerness to get rid of them, an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Oh, I remembered one more thing!"
He looked at Inspector Megure and reported impatiently: "When the deceased was running upstairs, he raised one hand to his ear in a very strange posture - now that I think about it, he was probably talking to someone on the phone at that time!"
"On the phone?" Sato Miwako was startled at first, and then she intuitively felt that this was a very important clue.
But after a moment, she felt something was wrong: "But we checked the deceased's belongings and found no cell phone. And if the cell phone fell near the place where the fall occurred, the forensic department staff should not have missed it."
