Chapter 1516: 1524 [A world where only Okiya Subaru is injured]
Okiya Subaru felt relieved silently: Although the process was a bit thrilling, overall, Jiang Xia was still reliable.
So, as far as "how to prevent being wrongly accused of being a murderer" is concerned, it is safest to follow Jiang Xia.
...But unfortunately, his terrible boss seemed to have also set his sights on this detective, causing the area around Jiang Xia to become a death zone.
As he thought about it, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, I don't know if Jiang Xia will doubt himself in the long run, thinking that he has the constitution of a god of death, or even think that he is the one who harmed those who were murdered... Wait, this couldn't be Uzo's purpose.
As a person who was also surrounded by the same events, Subaru Okiya understood this situation very well, and even when looking at Jiang Xia, he felt a vague feeling of mutual sympathy.
Inspector Yasa saw them standing there in a daze, and his eyes jumped: "If you want to see it, come and see it quickly. If you don't want to see it, move away and don't get in the way in this room."
Jiang Xia looked at his watch and found that it was already very late.
According to his experience, unless it is a serial murder case, the same group of people will generally not commit two crimes within a short period of time.
Jiang Xia: “…” Judging from the news sent back by the ghosts, Okiya Subaru seems to have another destination tonight.
If the case drags on for too long, leaving the younger brother no time to transfer to a new environment, that would be a huge waste of time.
And according to the schedule, there will be an exam at school soon. It doesn't matter to me, but Conan and Mao Lilan will definitely go back.
…It would be better to let Subaru Okiya go to his new destination as soon as possible, and after he shines there, pack him up and take him back to Tokyo. Hopefully, by then, he will have deeply realized the importance and honor of the identity of "Usa's younger brother" and will no longer run away recklessly.
Thinking of this, before the police began to review the lengthy video, Jiang Xia stood in front of the TV and interrupted their actions.
Then I quietly cut off a section of the itinerary: "According to the distance when the camera captured the 'Death Array', and the dim light here, it was actually difficult for us to take useful photos.
"Instead of a group of people gathering here to watch the video, why not save other evidence first - such as the papers in the fax machine upstairs, and the tape that Conan just found."
"Evidence?" Inspector Yasa was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood, "You know this again?"
Jiang Xia nodded and pointed to the window: "Before, we all thought that the murderer got rid of us and rushed into the building while we were chasing him, shot Mr. Nanjo, and then escaped by some means without anyone noticing after being trapped in the building by us.
"But in fact, the order of these things should actually be - the murderer shot Mr. Nanjo first, and then appeared in front of us in the image of 'Death God Jinnai', attracting us back to the building and confusing us with the time of death of the deceased."
Inspector Yassa listened and began to feel overwhelmed again: "Wait, this is different from the testimony just now - don't forget, when you rushed into the building, the murderer turned on the lights at the crime scene on the 7th floor, and his shadow was reflected on the window. This scene was seen by more than one person."
Haibara Ai nodded. She and Dr. Agasa were both witnesses of that scene.
Although what Jiang Xia said contradicted what she saw, Huiyuan Ai did not think that Jiang Xia's reasoning was wrong, but quickly found a possible explanation.
Huihara Ai thought: "After coming up, I realized that the light switch and the window were far apart, but at that time, the light was turned on and the figure appeared at the window, almost at the same moment - that is to say, the 'person standing by the window' and the 'person who turned on the light' we saw at that time were not the same person. One of them was Oki... Mr. Tanaka?"
"??!"
Okiya Subaru was lying down and watching Jiang Xia solve the case, but suddenly his real name was almost called out, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
When he came to his senses and understood what Huibara Ai said, another layer of cold sweat broke out on his back - wait, according to this little girl's speculation, didn't he become an accomplice?
Okiya Subaru looked at Haibara Ai in shock.
Next to him, Miss Spider was leaning on the back of the sofa and also looked at him.
Then she looked at the mermaid next to her and shook her head regretfully: ...no murderous intent.
The mermaid crossed her arms, looked at the cotton candy machine with low production efficiency with dissatisfaction, and snorted slightly.
…
Subaru Okiya knew nothing about the demons that were surrounding him and waiting to grab him.
He didn't expect that Huiyuan Ai, a quiet and taciturn girl, would bring up such a terrible topic as soon as she opened her mouth. He waved his hand hastily: "I didn't even come to the 7th floor at that time! To be honest, I was hiding in the tea room the whole time."
Inspector Yasa looked at him suspiciously. "Didn't you just say you were out visiting the streets? Who are you hiding from? Do you have something to hide?"
Okiya Subaru: "!!"
He was so shocked by his own low-level mistake that his scalp numbed - his mental state had been jumping back and forth between "extremely tense" and "surviving a disaster", which seemed to have greatly affected his judgment.
However, despite the critical situation, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but think of Uzo: ... Could it be that this time, Uzo's script was actually to slowly, bit by bit, wear down all his will to resist. And then at the moment when his spirit completely collapsed, let him really die in a murder case, becoming the background of the tragedy?
Perhaps the assumption in Subaru Okiya's mind was too frightening. Even though he usually kept a calm expression, he finally revealed some clues at this moment.
Inspector Yasa narrowed his eyes immediately and looked at him suspiciously, thinking that this guy had a big problem:
"Come to think of it, in another homicide case I handled this afternoon, a witness provided information saying that they saw a suspicious and brutal Asian man at the crime scene. It seems that the characteristics they provided match yours."
“……” Subaru Okiya’s sweat broke out like a floodgate opened. He waved his hands weakly, wanting to say something, but was worried that the more he explained, the worse it would get.
Inspector Yasa felt that he had grasped a clue.
However, at this time, Jiang Xia shook his head:
"Mr. Tanaka should not have lied. At the crime scene on the 7th floor, there were not two people committing the crime together. There was no one at all. Do you remember the roll of insulating tape that was unrolled at the elevator door when the elevator first arrived at the 7th floor?"
The witnesses nodded.
Inspector Yasa couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "..." Isn't that just garbage thrown away by the crew?
But he just nodded and said calmly: "Of course, I saw it when I came up."
