Chapter 14541462 [Akai, are you still alive?]
When Jiang Xia went to ask Kinoshita Yoko about the situation, Conan stood beside her with his ears perked up, eavesdropping on the information.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Fell down? How did he fall? Was he pushed, or did he lose his balance?"
Kinoshita Yoko raised her hand to curl the hair beside her ears, feeling a little embarrassed: "The construction site is right next to the vending machine. After they were pushed to that position, I couldn't see their movements anymore."
The young police officer also did not see the scene, but he seemed to have learned a lot from his predecessors and had some understanding and speculation about the current situation:
"The strap of the backpack they were fighting over broke. Considering the situation at the time, one person should have been holding the bag and the other holding the strap. When they pulled hard, the strap suddenly broke. The deceased lost his support and balance and fell towards the curtain behind him - and then fell to his death."
…
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
Inspector Megure sat at his desk and stretched.
He looked out the window and couldn't help but sigh: "It's raining so hard. Fortunately, nothing happened today. Otherwise, going to the scene in this kind of weather would not only be hard for us, but the clues would also be easily washed away."
He stood up and was about to make a cup of steaming hot coffee and enjoy the rain scene happily.
Before he could pick up the cup, Sato Miwako suddenly rushed in: "Inspector!"
"!!"
Inspector Megure froze, and suddenly had a bad feeling, "What, what happened?"
Officer Sato sighed, "There was an accident at the airport. Someone fell from the construction site on the fourth floor and landed in the lobby. He died on the spot."
Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment: "Falling from a construction site and dying... This kind of accident should be handled by the nearby police station."
Sato Miwako shook her head, hesitating: "Jiang Xia happened to be at the scene."
Mumu Police Department: "..."
Miwako Sato: "And he didn't say it was an accident. I heard from the police over there that after Jiang Xia inquired about the situation at the scene, he looked thoughtful the whole time. I'm afraid there is something else going on."
“…”
silence.
Silence spread in the harmonious and quiet office.
After a minute, Inspector Megure finally let out a sad sigh from inside the room: "Let's go and take a look. We have to go there sooner or later anyway..."
…
Not long after, the police officers from the quick-acting Search Section arrived at the airport and found Jiang Xia at the crime scene.
While Inspector Megure was worried, he suddenly realized something belatedly.
He looked at Jiang Xia: "Are you going on a long journey?"
Jiang Xia nodded.
Inspector Megure patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Young people should explore the world. It's not good to stay in one city all the time - play for a while, don't rush back."
...He has slowly come to his senses recently.
Although Jiang Xia solves cases quickly, he seems to have a lot of cases when he is in Tokyo.
With this calculation, the workload doesn't seem to have decreased much, just a lot more performance. However, as people age, they are easily tired. Inspector Megure feels that performance is not important at all. The safety of the citizens and his own health are the most important treasures.
So it's best to combine work and rest and let Jiang Xia play outside for a while. Although as a mature police chief, he shouldn't believe in metaphysics...
Jiang Xia turned his head and looked at Inspector Megure in confusion, vaguely feeling that the inspector was thinking about something strange.
Jiang Xia: "..." But it's not a big problem. No matter what Inspector Megure thinks, as long as a murder occurs, he still has to bring the police to deal with it. That's enough.
…
With the police around, the collection of all clues became quick.
Moreover, the deceased had been frequenting the airport and must have had identification on him, so the police soon found out his identity.
Officer Takagi flipped through his notebook and came to Jiang Xia to report: "The deceased is Keisuke Furuta, 42 years old, a salesman for a company, and often has to travel to various places on business.
"The cause of death was a severe head injury caused by falling from the fourth floor, resulting in a fractured skull - the person he had a conflict with at the time was Mr. Sugimoto Hideki."
He raised his hand and gestured to the man in the gray suit.
Sugimoto Hideki seemed not to have expected that someone would die. He lowered his head, looking frightened.
Inspector Megure had also come back to his senses by now.
He looked at the growing crowd of onlookers, adjusted the brim of his hat, and said sternly to the officers from the nearby police station: "There are too many people here. Protect the scene, and we can talk about the rest in the lounge."
…
As the police and detectives, and the man in the gray suit headed for the lounge.
In the distance, the first floor lounge.
A pair of eyes watched the scene quietly. After a moment, the man raised his hand and pushed his glasses.
Then he pushed into the air.
“…”
Subaru Okiya rubbed his empty nose bridge and silently put down his hand: He is actually not very nearsighted. Although he often wears glasses, they are just a pair of plain glasses that block blue light.
This time, he took off his glasses for disguise. After all, according to his observation, glasses have a great influence on a person's appearance.
Okiya Subaru: "..." I don't know if these disguises are useful. I hope Usa doesn't recognize him. I hope the fall from the building that almost hit me was just an accident...
At this time, although Subaru Okiya saw the scene on the fourth floor, he did not bravely jump out to eat the melon. He just watched the video taken by the curious through the screen of his mobile phone.
What others saw was Jiang Xia in the picture and the police officers from the Investigation Section.
But what Okiya Subaru was looking at was the crowd of onlookers in the picture.
He scanned every corner, trying to find a curly-haired man in black to determine where the center of danger was.
However, it never happened - Uzo didn't appear in the camera at all.
Okiya Subaru: "..." Well, come to think of it. With Usa's alertness and mysteriousness, how could he be photographed so easily by onlookers?
Even if a passerby really happened to capture the video, that person probably wouldn't have a chance to survive and spread the video.
While thinking, he turned off the video.
Then I switched to the mailbox interface and refreshed it frantically.
——Just now, when he opened the door, he met Usa, and he brushed past Usa, and was almost smashed into a meat patty by the person falling from the building... Okiya Subaru certainly didn't dare to endure such a terrible thing alone.
Therefore, he summarized the situation immediately and sent it to the seemingly very reliable FBI ace, and continued to add his latest intelligence, wanting Shuichi Akai to help analyze whether this was a chance encounter, or if they had been caught by Uzo... No, it was a chance encounter, it must be!
However, no matter which one it was, in fact, after sending the message, Shuichi Akai never replied.
