Chapter 1555 1563 [He is a good friend of Uzo]
When we arrived at the place, we saw a sign on the door with a few English words written on it, which translated into "Ogata Finance".
——According to the results of the police investigation just now, the person who fell from the building opened a loan company, and I heard that the profits were pretty good.
Jiang Xia looked at the nameplate and sighed, "I remember the last name of the person who fell from the building was 'Ogata', right? Using a black background with white characters on it looks like a memorial tablet. It's so unlucky."
"The tablets are not all black and white. Some of them are much brighter than this nameplate."
Suddenly a voice came from behind - Huibara Ai had walked up the stairs without me noticing.
Conan wasn't very interested in the color of the sign. He reached out and tried to turn the door handle.
The door clicked open.
"...It's not locked?" He was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly walked into the house, looked around, and quickly became confident, "It seems that this is actually the first crime scene."
Jiang Xia looked inside from the door and found that this elegantly decorated room was now terribly messy. It looked as if something big had just happened - the floor-to-ceiling window opposite the door was open, and rain water gathered on the balcony, mixing with the usual fallen dust to turn into mud. A long, thick mud mark started from the balcony and extended all the way to the living room.
In the living room, the sofa and coffee table were twisted and distorted, as if there had been a fierce fight here.
While Conan and "Kudo Yusaku" were attracted by the crime scene, Haibara Ai quietly tugged at Jiang Xia's clothes, as if she had something to say to him.
Jiang Xia turned his head to look at her, followed the direction she was pulling to the corridor, squatted down skillfully and accepted the conversation.
Huihara Ai's face looked very ugly, and her fingers were trembling. "After you went upstairs just now, I followed you. At the entrance of the rooftop, I always felt that there was someone diagonally opposite you. And from my angle, I seemed to see the reflection of a gun muzzle - is it, is there someone trying to kill you?"
Jiang Xia touched her head through the furry hood, feeling a little surprised: It’s bad enough that Ireland couldn’t escape Conan’s inspiration, but now he can’t even hide it from Haibara Ai, a serious civilian cadre... It’s a pity that I forget to record every time, otherwise I should really record it and play it for Ireland in the future. Maybe before opening the blind box, I can get a lot of murderous aura from it.
"No one wants to kill me. You see, I didn't have any cover just now, and I didn't notice the existence of that person at all, but that person never fired a shot. If someone really wanted to kill me, he would have done it a long time ago, given the good sniper position just now."
While Jiang Xia was imagining the future, he did not forget to whisper to Huibara Ai:
"Maybe you saw it wrong. Or maybe there really was someone with a gun there. But he didn't hold the gun to kill me. He was worried that the brutal murderer who pushed the victim down the stairs was near me and was ready to push a detective like me down the stairs to kill me, so he helped me guard the surroundings."
Huiyuan Ai loosened her grip on Jiang Xia's clothes a little, feeling that it made some sense, but also felt that something was very wrong. She was skeptical: "...Really?"
Jiang Xia nodded firmly: "Don't worry, I don't know many people in the organization, and I haven't come into contact with many dangerous people. The few acquaintances I have, I have a very harmonious relationship with - don't always think of things in a bad way, that person must be here to help."
After a pause, worried that he might exaggerate too much and cause Huihara Ai to lose her vigilance, he reminded her: "Of course, because some people are really loyal, they will still appear very persistent when facing your bottle of 'Sherry'. You must be careful to hide yourself."
“……” Huibara Ai still didn’t quite believe it.
But if you think about it carefully, according to the habits of organizational cadres, if the unknown gunman really wanted to kill Jiang Xia, given such a good opportunity just now, since he raised the gun, he would definitely shoot.
Otherwise, taking out the gun, shaking it, and then putting it back would only increase the risk of being exposed. Unless that person had other purposes in holding the gun, such as... uh, to help Jiang Xia guard the surroundings?
Haibara Ai: "..." Although it sounds like a reasonable fact, this kind of love, friendship and mutual assistance among members of an organization seems weird no matter how you think about it, and it is difficult to accept for a while.
She pulled her hood up, carefully covering her distinctive hair, and then huddled in her large coat, briefly lost in thought.
Jiang Xia saw that she looked like she was thinking about life, so he stopped disturbing this mini scientist and turned to enter the crime scene.
——Although it was not appropriate to walk in directly like this, he was a detective who was only here to catch the naughty kids who strayed in. In order to avoid causing more damage, he had to go in.
As soon as I walked in and took a look around, I saw the "naughty kid" pick up a document from the sofa with a handkerchief and took a closer look:
"The owner of the ID is 'Ryohei Honda'... Judging from the name and the photo, he should also be a Japanese. He is also a Japanese living in London, and the ID appeared in a place like this - this person is likely to know the victim who fell from the building, or even have a certain friendship with him. If we can find him, we can definitely get more useful clues."
Jiang Xia passed by him, looked down at the ID, then walked to the balcony and stared at the small pool of muddy water gathered on the balcony: "There are obvious signs of dragging, and there are bloodstains on the ground - it seems that the man fell from the roof to this balcony and was dragged into the house."
"Drag him in first, and then throw him out from here? This man's action logic is a bit strange." Kidd walked to his side, leaned on the railing to look out, and suddenly discovered something.
He pointed diagonally downwards: "There's a pair of glasses on the wall... and if you look closely, the glasses are exactly the same as the ones in the ID photo. This must be the ID of the person who had an argument with the person who fell from the building. It was obviously Ogata who fell from the building, but the other person's glasses were on the balcony..."
"Yusaku Kudo" touched his chin, thinking, as if he understood something.
In the living room, Conan touched his chin in the same way: "The strangest thing is why that person dragged the person who fell from the building into the room first, and then threw him outside. That's right! It could be..."
Before he could finish his words, his collar suddenly tightened - Jiang Xia came over and grabbed him by the collar.
"?" Conan's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked up at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
The next moment, he understood the reason.
——The half-closed door was suddenly opened, and Inspector Yasa finally finished dealing with the scene downstairs and walked in with two of his subordinates.
Inspector Yasa stopped in his tracks when he suddenly noticed a few people standing in the room.
