Chapter 14291437 [Doctor - Student -]
Jiang Xia was distracted while walking and said casually: "Well, the food in this restaurant is really good."
“…”
The suggestion is invalid.
Conan silently looked at the shop windows on the street. His small outline was vaguely reflected in the window. He nodded slightly at himself, the elementary school student in the outline.
Then he turned to Jiang Xia calmly: "Let me try it!"
...It was quite reasonable for a primary school student to ask a senior high school student for some snacks to fill his stomach. After all, no one around knew him except Jiang Xia.
Fortunately, Jiang Xia still had a conscience and did not continue to make things difficult for this weak and helpless elementary school student. He picked a meat roll from a bag and handed it to him.
Conan held the meat roll that was slightly uglier than the other ones, and ate it in a few bites without any disgust, and his hunger was immediately reduced.
He exhaled comfortably: "That's great. I have to learn from you in the future. When I order food, I should order something that I can take away at any time. After all, using my brain to investigate a case consumes a lot of energy."
Jiang Xia: “…” You said the same thing last time, but this time you still resolutely chose the pork chop rice that couldn’t be taken away.
Next to them, Dr. Kanda, who was leading the way, couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at them a few times: "..." The conversation between these two people was really weird, as if that kid could really help solve the case... Haha, a high school detective playing house with elementary school students.
…
The three of them walked out of the store with their own thoughts. There was a road in front of them, and the zebra crossing was right in front of the store.
Across the street is an apartment building.
"He lives in this apartment building, not far away." Perhaps worried that Jiang Xia and the others would get impatient waiting, Dr. Kanda raised his hand and pointed at the apartment building in front of him, explaining, "He's in the room in the corner on the fifth floor. We'll be there soon. Let's go."
The three of them crossed the street and were about to enter the apartment door.
At this moment, a shrill scream of “Ah——!!” suddenly came from the shadow of the building next to him.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud crash.
Jiang Xia was startled, put away the bag, and ran over to the sound.
"This noise is so weird." Conan followed closely while wiping his hands, feeling something was wrong, "It's like someone fell into the alley next to us!"
…
The noise did come from the narrow alley on the side of the apartment.
When they walked around the front of the building, they saw that the wooden boxes stacked against the wall in the alley had fallen to the ground. Amid the scattered debris, a person was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Conan was shocked. He didn't expect Xiaolan to be a prophet. Something really happened here: "Call an ambulance!"
Jiang Xia also turned around: "Quick..."
As soon as he said this, he paused silently: Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were not there.
Thinking about it, it was a bit uncomfortable... He had no choice but to take out his cell phone and call an ambulance.
After reporting the address, the frightened client next to him finally came to his senses.
It seemed that his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he belatedly recognized the person who fell from the building: "Yoshimura?!"
Jiang Xia turned to look at him: "This Yoshimura you are talking about, could it be..."
Dr. Kanda said excitedly, as if unwilling to accept the fact: "It's the Dr. Yoshimura who was threatened that I just mentioned... How could this happen?!"
Perhaps he hit some sharp corners when he fell from the building. Dr. Yoshimura was covered in blood. In addition, he fell from a high altitude and looked like he was dead.
The client didn't despise him, he strode over, half picked up the dead man on the ground as if he didn't want to accept the fact, and said in a mournful voice: "Yoshimura, wake up! Yoshimura——!!"
Amid the noisy background, Jiang Xia bravely completed the emergency call.
Just as I put down my phone, a person came running over, wiping his mouth as he ran.
Jiang Xia turned around and said, "Uncle Maori?"
Kogoro Maori nodded calmly: "Yeah."... Damn it, how could something happen again so soon? He hasn't even taken a few bites of his meal.
Conan ignored Maori Kogoro who suddenly showed up. He noticed something strange at this moment and whispered to Jiang Xia, "Why is there only one slipper on the deceased's feet? There was no other slipper dropped nearby. Could it be..."
"ah--!!"
His words were interrupted by screams coming from nearby.
Just now, the deceased hit a wooden box when he fell from the building, causing quite a noise. A large group of passers-by suddenly gathered around.
After a series of conversations such as "What happened?", "It seems someone is dead.", "Ah!! Someone is really dead!", the enthusiastic passers-by took out their mobile phones and started calling the police.
Jiang Xia: "..." The people of Beihua Town are self-aware. It seems that he doesn't need to call the police anymore.
…
It wasn't long before some familiar faces arrived at the scene.
Officer Gao Mu turned his head and yawned, then looked over haggardly: "Jiang Xia, you are working overtime late at night again."
"...I don't want to either." Jiang Xia's eyes drifted away, "But it's not that late now. After I finish this matter, I should be able to have a good sleep." As he said that, he took another bite of the assorted meat rolls. He still had a few left.
Inspector Takagi was stimulated by the aroma and came back to his senses: "Oh, by the way, I just found out some information. Let me tell you - the deceased, Mitsuo Yoshimura, was a 25-year-old man. He was currently a doctor at Capital Medical University, but he was on leave recently."
He held up an evidence bag and said, "We just found the key to his room in his pocket."
Sato Miwako also evacuated the crowd. She came over with a pair of dark circles under her eyes and also looked at Jiang Xia first: "Why are you at the scene again?"
Jiang Xia pointed at the dead man who was taken away and said, "I received a commission. The deceased Mr. Yoshimura seemed to be threatened by some mysterious people, so his friend Dr. Kanda wanted me to come and investigate the true identities of those who threatened him."
Officer Sato suddenly realized, "No wonder Yoshimura has been on leave these days... Hmm? Wait." She figured out something and was suddenly surprised, "Then your goal overlaps with ours - those who threaten him are likely the ones who killed him."
Jiang Xia patted her shoulder and said righteously: "Even if they don't match, I will help you find out the truth about the deceased's fall from the building."
Officer Sato nodded, feeling a little touched: it was worth it that she had let Jiang Xia off when she was chasing him. Although catching a kid who was racing on a motorcycle late at night was not the job of the Investigation Division...
…
The police were always slow in their reasoning, or even didn't make any progress. But fortunately, with their help, everything went very smoothly when collecting clues.
After Inspector Megure made some inquiries, he quickly confirmed the residence of the deceased.
He found the manager of the apartment, who seemed very cooperative.
"Why did Mr. Yoshimura fall from the roof?" Inspector Megure looked at the apartment manager, "Do tenants usually go up to your rooftop?"
