Chapter 1459 1467 [Isn't Wuzo coming for me? 】
There were only a few detectives who were good enough. Jiang Xia was the most outstanding one among them. From this point of view, it would be strange if Jiang Xia and Wu Zuo had no intersection at all.
Therefore, the conjecture that "Jiang Xia = Usa" was temporarily placed in a relatively backward position by Shuichi Akai.
Akai Shuichi: "..." However, these two people are in the organization after all, and they are in Tokyo. In a sense, if Wu Zuo has other plans, it is difficult for Jiang Xia to take the initiative to cut off contact with him... These still need to be carefully verified.
…
The other side.
After Subaru Okiya finished his phone call with the FBI ace, he put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
——Compared to this small fry like him, Akai Shuichi is more likely to attract Usa's attention.
Since Mr. Akai is still healthy, it means that Uzo hasn't attacked them yet, or hasn't noticed their movements at all. This is really...
That’s wonderful!
Okiya Subaru relaxed a lot invisibly, and broke free from the fear of being smashed into a pancake just now. He couldn't help but start to eat melons: Since it was not aimed at him, then was Uzo here to harm Jiangxia?
...I keep staring at the high school detective. What is his purpose? Want to compete with this modern Sherlock Holmes?
In any case, the speculation given by Shuichi Akai made Okiya Subaru breathe a sigh of relief.
His attention couldn't help but shift to the top of his head, wanting to see what progress the fourth floor had made.
However, compared to curiosity and the desire to watch the show, in the end, reason and the desire to survive prevailed.
After a lot of hesitation, Subaru Okiya sat there without moving, but silently opened the group chat: "..." Fortunately, technology is advanced now, and everyone in the crew is a good spectator. Even if he doesn't go, he can also remotely watch the progress over there from other people's words.
Speaking of which, this is all thanks to the frontline reporter, Ms. Yoko.
…
The lounge on the fourth floor.
"We've actually already checked the surveillance footage before," the police said as they pulled up the previous footage. "It was mainly aimed at the bathroom door, so it didn't capture the fight."
Jiang Xia looked at his watch and said, "It's okay, just leave it there for now."
The police officer nodded and tapped a few keys. The screen quickly replayed the image of the door of the bathroom on the fourth floor before the deceased fell from the building.
The situation in the picture was exactly as Hideki Sugimoto said: he spilled the drink, went into the bathroom, and left his luggage outside.
Soon, the deceased, Mr. Furuta, also appeared in the picture. Of course, he was still alive at that time.
When the deceased passed by the bathroom door, he found an unattended suitcase and a backpack on it. He couldn't help but take a few more glances and seemed to be hesitating.
At this moment, the cell phone in the backpack suddenly rang.
The deceased started, took a few steps away, then stopped and looked around thoughtfully.
Until the ringing stopped, no one came to take care of the pile of luggage - its owner didn't seem to be nearby.
So soon, the deceased picked up his bag, dragged his suitcase, and left as if nothing had happened.
…
"Rather than looking for the owner, he looked a little guilty just now as he was looking around." Inspector Megure stroked his chubby chin and analyzed the scene, "He looks like a habitual thief."
In the surveillance video, the deceased was unaware of the comments coming from outside the screen.
He quickly walked to the edge of the surveillance screen with his luggage, then turned his back to this side and lowered his head to fiddle with the backpack he had picked up.
After a few seconds, Hideki Sugimoto came out of the bathroom.
He rushed towards the deceased, and the two men soon started arguing and pushing each other to a place outside the surveillance screen.
"It's exactly as Mr. Sugimoto said." Inspector Megure looked at Jiang Xia in confusion, "Brother Jiang Xia, what's the problem?"
Huihara Ai looked at the police helplessly. Even she could tell something was wrong with the surveillance camera: "The owner locked onto the target too quickly - most people should look towards where they put their luggage after leaving the bathroom. If they find that their luggage is gone, they will look around in panic, and finally lock onto the target and rush over, but..."
As she spoke, Huibara Ai's voice gradually became lower.
——She is usually used to staying at home, unlike Conan who runs around outside every day, so she has relatively little experience in "pretending to be a child".
Halfway through her speech, she suddenly realized that this was not something a first-grade student should say.
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai looked around secretly with a guilty conscience.
Then I discovered that the police officers in the search section were surprisingly calm: it seemed that the children near Jiangxia were supposed to be taught like this.
But the people at the airport didn't seem so calm and looked at her in surprise.
“…”
Haibara Ai thought of the reporters who might be waiting outside and her own identity that could not stand the dark, and her heart skipped a beat - she couldn't expose herself.
She caught a glimpse of Conan next to her, and suddenly got an idea. She smiled sweetly at the adults in the room, "It's just as Brother Jiang Xia guessed before!"
Conan: "..." This guy Huiyuan usually looked down on him when he was acting like a child. But now she is acting so skillfully...
Jiang Xia seemed to be used to smoothing things over for fake kids.
He nodded, and continued what Huihara Ai hadn't finished saying, "But in the surveillance video, Mr. Sugimoto barely hesitated, and rushed in the direction of the deceased as soon as he went out. It seemed like he had expected that the luggage would be taken away, and calculated the time to rush out and intercept it."
Sugimoto Hideki was sweating profusely. He forced a smile and said, "But you see, my suitcase is so big, it is very conspicuous. When I went out, I happened to go in the direction where the deceased left, so I looked up and saw him holding my suitcase - I didn't expect this in advance, but I reacted faster than most people."
Miwako Sato was skeptical. She felt that his movements in the surveillance video were becoming smoother and smoother, and that they were not something that could be achieved by just "quick reaction".
But it is indeed far-fetched to say that Hideki Sugimoto premeditated murder based on this alone.
She turned and looked at Jiang Xia.
Fortunately, the detectives always have one reasoning after another and never run out of words.
Jiang Xia really inherited this advantage of the detective. He didn't dwell on it even after being refuted. He just continued to talk about other things:
"And the phone in the bag. You must have left it there on purpose. You prepared two phones in advance, one in the bag and the other on your body.
"When you were hiding in the bathroom and saw the deceased passing by, you used your mobile phone to call the phone in your bag, and the ringing attracted his attention.
"This is a euphemism to tell the deceased that the owner of the luggage is not nearby. If someone wants to steal the bag, this is a perfect opportunity."
