Chapter 1554 1562 [All those who were hit were Irish]
Hearing Jiang Xia sigh, Conan suddenly became alert: "Is this case difficult?"
"No." Jiang Xia came back to his senses. "I was just thinking that these murderers who use 'falling from a building' to kill people really have no sense of public morality. It's understandable that they take revenge when there's revenge and they take injustice when there's injustice, but it's very easy for them to hit some innocent passers-by, just like the gentleman who was hit just now."
"The method of 'revenge when revenge is needed and injustice when injustice is needed' is not worth promoting. We should solve problems with the law. So next time you hit a criminal, be gentler. Although some people do deserve a beating, it is really illegal." Conan discovered that although Jiang Xia is also a detective, this little friend has some ideas that seem to be different from other detectives.
However, considering that Jiang Xia has only recently become interested in detective work and was a complete rebellious teenager not long ago, Conan felt that this difference was not incomprehensible.
Next to him, Kidd listened to the conversation between the two men and was silent for a moment: "..." Isn't it illegal to hit lightly?
Shouldn't you say "Don't fight anymore" at this time?
...This little detective doesn't seem to be in a clear mind. Or is it that Conan's subconscious mind tells him that he can't stop Jiang Xia from knocking people, so he said such a thing?
The light around was too dim, and Conan was completely unaware of the hesitant gaze of "Kudo Yusaku".
After he carefully corrected his neighbor's dangerous thoughts, he touched his chin, and his attention was quickly drawn to another key point in Jiang Xia's words: "Speaking of this, judging from the words of the eyewitnesses below, the reaction of the gentleman who was hit was indeed a bit strange - he was obviously the pure victim, but he didn't care about the case at all, didn't contact the police, didn't call for an ambulance, and instead fled the scene as soon as possible."
"And I always feel that this behavior sounds familiar... Oh right! When we were in Tokyo before, in the case of Uncle Kogoro falling from a building and killing him, was there also a similar passerby?" Conan slammed his fist on his palm and suddenly remembered something:
"I remember that time, the body that fell from the building hit a car that happened to be parked downstairs, and the owner of the car who was about to get in was almost killed on the spot. But according to the patrol police nearby at the time, the owner of the car experienced such a terrible disaster, but did not argue with anyone, but just drove away from the scene at high speed. This is so similar to what happened today, it can even be said to be exactly the same!"
Jiang Xia: “…” Not only was the situation of fleeing the scene exactly the same, but even the “unlucky passerby” who was hit was exactly the same…
As he thought about it, he nodded thoughtfully.
Jiang Xia seemed to be inspired by Conan's words, and his eyes sharpened: "Now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered that according to the testimony of the criminal police in the last falling case, the car owner who was almost hit also had a 'tall' feature. It's a pity that he left too quickly, and the patrol officers at the scene were frightened by the sudden fall of the building and could not provide more information."
Conan also remembered and fell into deep thought: "Could it be that the two 'passers-by' who were almost hit were actually the same person? But that person was in Tokyo not long ago, why did he suddenly run to London now?"
Conan was lost in thought.
beside.
"Kudo Yusaku" looked at Conan, then looked at Jiang Xia, and felt that something was wrong: "..." Since it sounded like the two detectives had experienced the falling case in Tokyo together, then with Jiang Xia's usual sharpness, he shouldn't have waited for Conan to mention the similar case before suddenly recalling it.
...Did Jiang Xia drink too much today and affect his condition, or is there some other hidden story behind this?
For some reason, he always felt that this high school detective had no fewer secrets than the 7-year-old high school detective next to him.
Kidd: “…” Come to think of it, why is Jiang Xia so popular with monsters?
He also wanted to experience the feeling of being friends with monsters, instead of being treated as a delicious meal by the monsters with shining eyes every time he saw them, with no human rights. Only Brother Tengu would occasionally help him out after stealing his magic power...
As he thought about it, Kidd couldn't help but sigh.
It was drizzling and the roof was wet and uncomfortable.
Kidd didn't want to get wet in the rain with the two dedicated detectives next to him, so he interrupted their thoughts:
"We can't be sure that the people who were hit are the same person. You know, it's not uncommon for someone to fall from a building and hit someone. As for tall passers-by, that's even more common. And this is London, and there are tall white people everywhere on the streets.
"Even if it's the same person, there may not be a conspiracy behind this. Maybe that person is just unlucky - we must admit that there are some very strange coincidences in the world, such as some people encounter several consecutive air crashes that others will never encounter in their lifetime and successfully escape from those air crashes, and some people happen to miss those crashed planes every time and are lucky to survive.
"We do need to use science to solve crimes, but we cannot completely ignore the existence of coincidences."
As Kidd was talking, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "..." In fact, before he met the witch and the Mist Tengu, he also thought that this world was very scientific.
But now, his worldview has been completely shattered by these monsters and witches, and even he himself has begun to emit magic power... Compared to him, Koizumi Hongzi has much less magic power. Moreover, she has recently returned to school and does not seem to have that intimidating aura anymore. Instead, she has gradually gathered many friends around her.
Conan, who was persuaded by him, said: "..." It sounds quite reasonable, but these words coming out of the mouth of "Kudo Yusaku" always have an inexplicable sense of disobedience...
"Indeed, everything still requires evidence." Jiang Xia seemed to have come to his senses. He shook off the rain on his body and said, "Don't get wet on the rooftop. Let's go back to the building and take a look. Instead of standing here and guessing blindly, it's better to find out the truth behind this fall. The person who pushed the victim down the stairs must know more clues."
The three people quickly reached an agreement for various reasons. They left the rooftop, walked down the stairs, and headed to the third floor just above the person who fell from the building. According to their speculation just now, after the person fell from the roof, he first hit the protruding balcony on the third floor, and then fell down again 10 minutes later and hit the unlucky passerby.
