Chapter 1434 1442 [I scold myself]
Conan reached an agreement with Amuro Toru at this time. He chimed in: "But Inspector, just now in the restaurant, Mr. Kanda called the deceased in advance and told him that we would come to find him. Knowing this, why did the deceased suddenly run away?"
While asking the question, he had already conveyed his thoughts to Inspector Megure.
——There was something wrong with Dr. Kanda’s phone call, but there was something even more wrong with him as a person.
Unfortunately, however, Inspector Megure seemed unable to receive the signal.
He simply took this sentence as a question and said honestly: "Yes, why?"
"..." Conan didn't expect that he would defeat the question with a question, and his breath got stuck in his throat.
Maori Kogoro had some opinions of his own. He touched his chin and analyzed seriously: "Maybe he is mentally disturbed. People under extreme pressure are indeed prone to do some unreasonable things. What's more, the deceased looks like he has been drinking... Hmm? What are you looking at me for?"
Kogoro Mori also noticed the gaze from Toru Amuro.
Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered that this blond young man was a fellow detective and, in terms of age, was his junior. He immediately laughed out loud: "Don't worry, you're still young. When you have more experience, it won't be difficult for you to find the truth at a glance like me."
Toru Amuro's eyes twitched, and his gloves made a creaking sound: "..." Why do the former policeman and the current police captain look like this?
He sighed silently, then turned to stare at Jiang Xia: Solve the case quickly, he really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
...Speaking of which, why is Jiang Xia so slow in solving the case today?
The moment he saw Jiang Xia with doubts, Toru Amuro suddenly realized that Jiang Xia was also looking at him.
"?"
"?"
There seemed to be different questions in the eyes of both of them.
After looking at each other for a moment, Toru Amuro suddenly felt that he understood something - because of the bottle of "Bourbon" on the deceased's table and the appearance of this "Bourbon", in Jiang Xia's eyes, this case seemed to be mixed with too many organizational elements.
Jiang Xia must have thought that this matter was really related to "Bourbon", so he didn't want to disrupt his plans.
Thinking of this, Amuro Toru took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry about me. When it comes to detectives, you are the signature of the agency."
——It sounded like he was saying that Jiang Xia didn't want to steal the spotlight from his boss. But in fact, he was telling him not to worry about the "Bourbon" component in the case.
Jiang Xia nodded, thinking that he was indeed a gold medal undercover agent. He had no guilt at all for talking about topics related to the organization in front of the police.
I don’t know if Toru Amuro was impressed by the police’s ability to solve cases, or if he associated it with the code name “Bourbon”, but the murderous aura of coffee smell on him was much stronger than when he first met him.
Jiang Xia threw ghosts over to grab the monster while working to advance the progress bar.
He looked at Inspector Megure and reminded him of the anomaly in this case: "When we went upstairs just now, there was a chain on the door of Dr. Kanda's house, but Dr. Yoshino, the person being threatened, did not have such a protective measure on his door."
Although Inspector Megure is a little bit slow in solving cases, fortunately he is willing to accept the opinions from the detectives.
Hearing Jiang Xia say this, he suddenly came to his senses: "Huh? Yes. It is very strange!"
Doctor Kanda quickly interrupted his thoughts: "Well, before I brought Jiang Xia and the others here, I called Yoshimura and told him that we would come - he must have removed the anti-theft link in advance in order not to delay the detective's time."
Inspector Megure, the fence-sitter, was blown away again: "I see..."
“…”
The coffee flavor is a little stronger.
Jiang Xia's mentality became better and better. He continued patiently, "It's not that the deceased opened the security chain in advance. It's that when we were preparing to come up, there was actually no one in Room 501. And before that, the last person to leave the room locked the door, but didn't take the time to re-fasten the security chain."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that the deceased didn't fall from his own house?" Maori Kogoro was a little confused. "But the soles of his slippers were not stained with dust from outside. No matter how you look at it, he fell when he jumped from the indoor balcony to the roof of the opposite building."
Jiang Xia pointed outside the balcony and said, "Only the left foot of the corpse was wearing a slipper. The slipper on the right foot had 'disappeared' and did not fall into the alley with him. When I came up just now, I found one of his slippers on the roof of the building opposite, and it was quite a distance away from the balcony."
"That is to say, it is quite difficult to throw the shoes to that position from the balcony on the fifth floor. But if you drop from a higher place." He raised his hand to the ceiling, and his fingertips drew a parabola, "it would be much easier."
Maori Kogoro suddenly realized: "So the deceased actually fell from the roof?"
The apartment manager was startled and interrupted hastily: "No, we pay great attention to safety issues! The roof is usually locked, and we will never let residents go up there for no reason."
"Indeed, when Conan and I went upstairs to check just now, we found that the door leading to the rooftop was tightly locked." Jiang Xia nodded, confirming this statement, "So if you think about it carefully, the place where the person fell from the building may not be the rooftop - the deceased's room, which is this room, is on the fifth floor. In addition to the rooftop, there is actually a sixth floor higher up."
Conan looked at Dr. Kanda and suddenly said:
"Brother Jiang Xia and I just went upstairs to check. Room 601 on the sixth floor is Uncle Kanda's home! Uncle, why did the deceased jump from your balcony downstairs? That's very dangerous, right?"
Doctor Kanda was suddenly called and looked at him with an uncontrollable murderous aura surging from him.
Jiang Xia: “…” After talking for a long time, it turned out that Conan’s words were not as effective as his. Could it be that he, a high school student, didn’t look as easy to kill as Conan?
Being too rational is not a good thing sometimes...
Toru Amuro, who was listening silently, couldn't help but glance at Conan: "..." This kid is really good at fanning the flames. No wonder Jiang Xia's words are sometimes so irritating, it seems that sarcasm is contagious.
As he was thinking, he turned his head and sneezed.
Jiang Xia also felt his nose itchy. He rubbed it without paying much attention and continued, "It is indeed as Conan said. The most likely scenario is that the place where the deceased fell was not his own room, but in Mr. Kanda's room in Room 601 upstairs."
"Instead of wasting time here, why don't we go to the real place where the person fell from the building, or the crime scene?" Jiang Xia asked Dr. Kanda, "Is that okay?"
