Chapter 1415 1423 [Ireland is here to settle accounts]
As Officer Sato spoke, her voice became lower. It seemed that she did not quite agree with the reliability of her colleagues in the Forensic Department.
Jiang Xia thought of the dedicated forensic police officers and interrupted her thoughts: "It is really hard to miss such an important item as a mobile phone. If it is really not at the scene, it is possible that the deceased threw the phone far away before falling from the building."
"So that's it!" Inspector Megure's eyes lit up while he was listening, and he felt like everything suddenly became clear.
He immediately called the people who were still at the scene and said, "Before the deceased fell from the building, he might have thrown his phone far away. Please determine the possible throwing range and check it as soon as possible. It is very important evidence and must be recovered!"
After hanging up the phone and repeating what Jiang Xia had just said, he was stunned: "Wait, why did the deceased throw away his phone? He deliberately did this before he died. Could it be that he actually planned to fall from the building... So this was actually suicide?"
"..." Jiang Xia cast a look of accusation: Don't attribute all abnormalities to suicide. How can the unfortunate shikigami end their obsessions like this?
Inspector Megure was stared at by him and cleared his throat: "Well, of course, this is just a speculation. It is possible that he did not commit suicide."
Jiang Xia looked at his watch and felt that it was getting late. He had already pretended to repeat all the clues that he should have heard by now, so it shouldn't be too abrupt even if he helped the police get off work right now.
With this in mind, Jiang Xia kindly ignored Inspector Megure's topic of "suicide" and nonchalantly brought the conversation back to the physical evidence:
"We're going to look for the phone anyway, so besides looking in the abandoned building, we might as well look in this building as well. In the surveillance footage, Himuro Reiji used a different phone when he made the call."
The surveillance footage just now showed that after reaching the corner of the stairs in the building, Himuro Reiji made two phone calls in succession: in the first call, he said something to the person on the other end, then turned around and went to the bathroom.
After he came back, he made the second call to Kogoro Mori.
…
When Kogoro Mouri heard this, he scratched his head in confusion. He actually didn't pay much attention to what the phone used by Himuro Reiji in the surveillance video looked like.
However, a mature detective doesn't need to pay attention to details. He quickly nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice: "That's right! And after all, when doing such an important thing as 'sending a death notice to the famous detective Maori Kogoro', Himuro actually ran to the bathroom on the way... This is too suspicious! He must not just be going to the toilet, but he must have other plans!"
Conan had been holding it in for the whole night and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He moved closer to Jiang Xia and corrected her, "What you are doing is not inconsistent with whether you want to go to the bathroom or not, and some people will want to go to the bathroom when they are nervous. Of course, I also think that he has other intentions when going to the bathroom. But it's not entirely because he went to the bathroom at the wrong time. There is an unnatural wet stain on the hem of his clothes. Judging from the position and shape, it doesn't look like it was splashed when washing hands. It's more like he has done something in the toilet tank, or somewhere at a similar height..."
Before he could finish his words, someone hit him on the head with a punch.
Maori Kogoro withdrew his hand and snorted: "You are the only one who talks too much!"
Conan: “…”
He covered the big bump on his head and looked silently at Jiang Xia beside him:...It has moved to your side, why don’t you help stop it!
Jiang Xia also looked back silently: Your head is so stubborn, but Uncle Maori is just a mortal, so it shouldn't be a big deal if he gives it a knock.
Jiang Xia: “…” In addition, if you think about it carefully, Kogoro Mouri’s movement in knocking people down just now was extremely fast. He moved to Conan’s side in a flash like lightning, and then punched out in a flash, and it was impossible to stop him even if you wanted to.
Thinking of this, his conscience, which had been wavering between Detective Mori and small Detective Kudo, suddenly settled down again.
…
While Maori Kogoro went to discuss his reasoning with Inspector Megure, Jiang Xia touched Conan's head and said in a deep voice: "Go learn karate, little detective - neighbors will always feel tired, and a man's head must be protected by himself after all."
"...Where did you learn those lines from the hot-blooded comic book?" Conan had gotten used to his neighbor's occasional nonsense. He pushed Jiang Xia's hand away and snorted, "I still prefer football to karate - and it's too late to cram at the last minute. Can practicing karate make me as strong as the uncle and Xiaolan?"
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of Mao Lilan.
Mao Lilan keenly noticed the movement here and turned to look over.
Seeing this seemingly friendly and respectful scene, she couldn't help but smile: "Conan's reasoning just now was really great! It's worth it that you run around crime scenes every day - if you like the detective industry, you must learn from Brother Jiang Xia."
"..." Conan forced a smile, "Okay, Sister Xiaolan."
Jiang Xia: "..." Actually, you said it the other way around...
…
As police scrambled to find the phone.
At the same time, in an apartment far away.
Reiji Himuro couldn't help but laugh heartily when he thought of his experience today. "Stupid policemen and detectives, haha, they boasted so much in the newspapers, but in reality they could only follow my script, being forced to watch a 'good man' who had turned over a new leaf fall to his death, and unable to catch the real murderer who was right in front of them."
After feeling proud, Himuro Reiji was silent for a moment, thinking about Jiang Xia's previous case history. After thinking about it, he finally felt a little concerned.
After a moment, he took out his mobile phone and planned to search the news to check the progress of related cases.
I had just read a few lines when the doorbell suddenly rang.
——Someone is coming.
“?!”
Feeling guilty, Himuro Reiji stood up suddenly: as soon as he thought of Jiang Xia, someone came to his door immediately, which made him feel a little nervous, worrying that the detective had found some solid evidence against him.
But then I thought, how could someone as smart as me be caught so easily?
Himuro Reiji: "..." At this moment, if he backs down, he will lose. He has been planning for so long, and now that the time has come, he absolutely cannot show his weakness in front of the police and the detectives!
Thinking of this, Himuro Reiji shouted "Coming!" with full energy and strode towards the entrance.
On the way, he adjusted his expression and smoothed his hair.
Standing in the entrance hall, he elegantly opened the door, and was about to taunt the police and detectives who came to his door.
But before he opened his mouth, he saw who was outside the door and was suddenly startled.
——The person who came to see him was not the police or detective he had imagined, but a strange man.
