Chapter 1435 1443 [Uzo wants to harm me again]
Kanda Jōji's eyes twitched and he instinctively wanted to refuse.
But just as the word "no" came to his mouth, Conan suddenly laughed: "That's definitely not possible. Uncle Kanda will feel guilty. What if we really find evidence in his house?"
“…”
A hideous blue vein popped out on Dr. Kanda's gentle face.
He looked at the police and found that as soon as Jiang Xia and the annoying kid started talking, the police looked at him with suspicion.
He gritted his teeth secretly, realizing that if he continued like this, even if he refused, the police would find an excuse to come in and check. In this case, he might as well accept the matter calmly to dispel their suspicions - his method was very sophisticated, and the evidence must not be that easy to find!
Dr. Kanda spent a few seconds comforting himself and gradually calmed down.
He said unceremoniously: "My home is not a so-called 'crime scene'. But since you insist on going, I won't stop you - let the evidence prove my innocence!"
…
The group then went upstairs one after another.
On the way, Inspector Megure recalled Dr. Kanda's tough attitude and realized belatedly that he felt a little insecure.
He walked to Jiang Xia and whispered, "But brother Jiang Xia, I heard that the deceased screamed when he fell, which means he was alive at the time. Even if he was really in Mr. Kanda's house at the time, there is no way to prove that it was Mr. Kanda who made him fall. I heard that Kanda was with you at the time, so he has an absolute alibi."
Dr. Kanda heard this and was cheered up. This fat police officer turned out to be a good person!
He immediately followed up with an excuse: "Yes, sometimes I forget to lock the door when I go out. Maybe Yoshimura was worried that his room was not safe, so he ran to my room without permission. We are such good friends, how could I cause him to fall from the building? Not only do I have no motive, but I can't control his actions from a distance."
Toru Amuro:...Control?
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. This phrase suddenly made a figure flash through his mind.
——Uzo.
Of course, since the true identity of this guy has not been found out so far, the "Uzo" in Toru Amuro's mind is just a mysterious and scarlet silhouette.
Toru Amuro: “…” I don’t know if it’s because Uzo, the devil who is good at seeing through people’s hearts, smelled the scent of an undercover agent, or for some other reason, but in his impression, this mysterious cadre seems to have always harbored ill will towards him.
During the last battle at the Twin Towers, Uzo sent a special invitation to "Bourbon", nearly trapping him to death in the fire.
...This time, is he the one doing something behind the scenes again?
Amuro glanced around and felt as if there was an invisible curtain spread over the apartment, covering the entire building.
He withdrew his gaze, his expression unchanged, but he became silently alert in his heart.
…
Soon, a group of people walked up the stairs and arrived at Room 601, which was directly above the deceased's room.
After entering the house, Inspector Megure looked around and his heart skipped a beat: This place is also tidy and there are no signs of a fight.
——After hearing the news just now, Inspector Megure actually made some inferences in his mind: for example, the deceased felt that his room was unsafe, so he fled upstairs and came to his friend's room, and then was pushed down by a mysterious man... But now it seems that he guessed wrong.
Officer Takagi seemed to think the same as Inspector Megure. He asked in confusion, "There doesn't seem to be anything unusual about this house."
Jiang Xia shook his head: "Compared to ten minutes ago, there must have been a lot of changes here - put the new furniture back in place and you will see the problem."
Officer Gao Mu was stunned: "Return to your position? What do you mean?"
Amuro Toru lowered his head and glanced at the ground. He soon understood something. He pointed at a few places and said, "There are marks on the tatami. Judging from these marks, the furniture here was not placed like this not long ago. It was only just placed like this. You just need to put the furniture back to its original position according to the marks on the ground."
"Oh, okay." Officer Takagi responded instinctively when he heard his order, and followed Amuro Toru's direction and walked to the cabinet in the corner.
After he stood firmly, he began to wonder where to move this thing.
Toru Amuro: “…” It’s okay for the old ones, but why are the young policemen like this too?
He lowered his head to identify the marks on the ground: "The closet is in the southeast corner of the room."
Officer Gao Mu responded and moved the cabinet over. As he got closer, he lowered his head and suddenly realized, "There are indeed a few indentations here, and the positions are just right to match the corners of the cabinet! I understand!"
After arranging the TV cabinet, he felt that he gradually understood everything: he just needed to observe the indentations on the ground, remember their approximate distribution, then find the furniture with the corresponding shape and move the furniture back to the indentation. It was just like a puzzle, very simple...
simple……
Gao Mushi was a little dumbfounded when he saw the dozen or so marks in the middle of the room:
"Why is it so weird? There is no such furniture in the house. Could it be that Mr. Kanda once placed a giant wooden insect here and secretly hid it somewhere else before we came up?"
Doctor Kanda: “……?”
Amuro Toru couldn't bear to watch it any longer and forced a kind smile: "That's a coffee table and a chair."
Takagi Shigeru suddenly realized what was going on, and turned around to continue moving the coffee table with a grunt.
Miwako Sato noticed Amuro Toru's disdainful look, and as a member of the First Investigation Division, she couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling.
She looked at the remaining furniture, and while Takagi Shi moved the stool, she quietly pushed the bed to the wall and pushed the bedside table over and put it away.
After she finished arranging the furniture, she turned around and took a clear look at the layout of the furniture in front of her. She was suddenly startled and blurted out in surprise: "This is exactly the same layout as the room downstairs!"
Conan looked at Dr. Kanda: "When we came up just now, Uncle Kanda was sweating profusely. It must be because he was struggling to move the furniture."
"So what?" Dr. Kanda felt that the topic was going in a bad direction, and he calmly explained: "A one-bedroom apartment is so small that there are only a few pieces of furniture that can be used. In order to save space, it is very normal to occasionally arrange them in a similar layout.
"And to be honest, Yoshida is very talented in design. I thought his room was simple and beautiful, so I borrowed some of his room's structure. But because I was not used to it, I quickly changed the layout back - after all, I just changed the layout based on my mood, what does this have to do with his fall from the building!"
Jiang Xia glanced at Dr. Kanda and continued with hidden expectation: "Of course it is related, and it is very related. It is deliberately arranged like this to mislead the deceased and make him think that this is his own room."
