Chapter 15151523 [The detective is unreliable]
Is this... gunshot?!
Okiya Subaru immediately identified the nature of the sound.
He became alert and suddenly turned his head to look outside the door, and saw Jiang Xia had followed the sound out of the room and headed straight for the stairs, and the child with glasses immediately followed him.
Seeing someone running, Subaru Okiya instinctively followed and ran a few steps.
When he followed her outside and felt the cold wind, he realized that he shouldn't have come to join in the fun.
But this room is very close to the stairs, and we are already on the stairs, so it is not a good idea to go back in shame...
Okiya Subaru had no choice but to follow Jiang Xia - but to be honest, knowing that he was not the real murderer, it was indeed only Jiang Xia, a detective who could accurately see through the truth, who could give him a sense of security.
"..." But he didn't dare to follow too closely. After all, the detective had left a little shadow on his fragile heart.
…
The policemen's reaction was slower than theirs and they followed behind.
Several people walked down the stairs from the 7th floor to the 6th floor. They saw Yoshino Satomi sitting in the corner next to the elevator, looking in his direction in horror.
Okiya Subaru looked at her, then looked back in the direction she was looking, and his eyes fell on Jiang Xia.
Okiya Subaru: "?"
Why was he looking at Jiang Xia in such fear? Could it be...
He was stunned, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind again.
However, his keen observation soon made him realize that he seemed to have made a mistake - what Yoshino Satomi was looking at did not seem to be Jiang Xia, but the stairwell exit that was blocked by Jiang Xia.
The agent raised her hand and pointed at the stairs tremblingly: "Death God's Array... He, he ran away from there after firing the gun just now."
"What?!" Inspector Yasa had just hurried down when he heard such shocking news.
He turned around and looked at his subordinates, angrily saying: "How did you search the building? How could someone hide for so long?"
The subordinates looked at each other in bewilderment: They searched very carefully, but they still missed the real culprit? ... It must be that something went wrong when their colleagues searched elsewhere!
Inspector Yasa looked at them getting ready to play football, and his forehead jumped: "...Forget it, let the forensic department come down to collect evidence first."
Then he looked at Yoshino Satomi, whose legs were weak, and frowned, "Tell me in detail what happened."
With the help of Mao Lilan, Yoshino Satomi stood up in shock.
She looked at the stairwell: “Just now, Mrs. Nanjo said that the camera screen was too small, so I came down to prepare the projector. Since there is only one floor between here and the crime scene, the stairs are more convenient than the elevator, so I took the stairs down.
"As soon as I opened the door to the stairwell, I saw the man dressed as 'Death God Jinnai' about to step onto the stairs.
"He shot me once. I was so scared at the time that I knelt on the ground and somehow dodged the gunshot. After that, he didn't bother me and ran away down the stairs past me."
Subaru Okiya looked at her, then at the open-air stairwell, and finally at the two familiar... barely familiar people next to him.
Jiang Xia and Conan were seen touching their chins in similar movements, with their heads down, thinking about something, looking like detectives.
The peaceful news in London and his own luck, which was hard to say whether it was good or bad, gave Subaru Okiya some courage.
He quietly moved to Jiang Xia's side and asked, "Do you already know the murderer?"
...If Jiang Xia finds the real murderer, he will naturally get rid of suspicion. He will not have to be arrested and investigated by the police, nor will he have to be photographed by reporters and then published in the newspaper for Wu Zo to see.
The light of hope gradually brightens.
However, at this moment, Jiang Xia yawned, shook his head, and frowned, "Sorry, I only slept for a few hours in two days. I feel like my brain is rusted."
Okiya Subaru: "..."
No! Why did it have to rust at this time?
conspiracy.
...Is this another conspiracy of Uzo? !
Jiang Xia glanced at the frozen younger brother: "..." Well, this look of being roaring in his heart but not daring to show it on his face, is also very similar to Vodka.
Let him think about whether there are similar ones around and take some time to grab them. Maybe it’s another fresh dessert flavor.
…
The group waited for a while.
Soon, the police officers' forensics yielded preliminary results:
"We didn't find any traces of bullet casings or gunpowder. The escape stairs here are built on the side of the building, open to the sky. It was windy tonight, and the murderer may have fired too close to the stairs, so the traces were all outside."
Inspector Yasa felt a headache and said, "Then let's go look outside!"
but……
He thought of the scene downstairs and felt even more confused: it was not an easy task to find a bullet in the grass outside, and it was already dark now.
Fortunately, now there is another clue.
——The projector is ready. They can play the footage of the murderer "inside the Death Array" and get information about the murderer from it.
…
When the screening was about to begin, Conan took advantage of the chaos and slipped into the room where the projector was.
When Jiang Xia and Okiya Subaru were talking just now, Conan also heard the noise with his sharp ears.
He decided to seize the opportunity while Jiang Xia was working overtime and intensify his efforts to solve the case. Although Detective Kudo had always been serious enough in solving every case, now, after glancing at Jiang Xia next to him, he felt that there was still room for improvement in his detective skills.
Conan was just about to find a suitable viewing position.
But when he passed by the bookshelf where various tapes were placed, he tilted his head and suddenly found a single tape placed on top of the neatly stacked tapes.
"Um?"
Conan picked it up and took a look, and was surprised - the tape was actually warm. This meant that it had probably been kept in the machine and was not taken out until just now.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xia noticed something strange on his side and walked closer to take a look - this kind of thing hidden on the bottom shelf would be difficult for an ordinary adult to notice if it wasn't exactly at the same height as Conan.
Jiang Xia's eyes passed through the transparent protective shell of the tape, fell on the tape inside, and then looked at the tape recorder next to it.
Then he handed Conan a glove and said, "Don't touch the evidence. This inspector seems to have some opinions about us. He is not as easy to talk to as Inspector Megure."
Conan subconsciously took the gloves, and then was suddenly stunned: "..." Wait, Jiang Xia called this tape "physical evidence"... Did he also understand the murderer's method?
I agreed that my brain would be rusty today!
At the door, Okiya Subaru looked over here quietly, and vaguely caught a clue from the changes in the expressions of the two people.
