Chapter 1560 1568 [There are so many coincidences around you]
Jiang Xia looked at Honda Ryohei and said gently, "Don't worry. Even if you have lost your memory, you should at least remember what happened after you woke up. Tell me what happened during this period first."
When Honda Ryohei was reminded of this, his headache suddenly became much worse when he thought about what happened at that time.
But he obviously felt that the matter was of great importance, so he tried hard to recall: "I woke up in that room."
He raised his hand and pointed to the office of the person who fell from the building, which was the room that Jiang Xia and his team had just entered to investigate: "When I woke up, I found myself lying on the ground. I sat up with great effort and saw that the room was in a mess. The coffee table and sofa were tilted to one side and the ornaments were all on the ground.
"And if I moved a little, I felt pain all over my body, and my clothes got dirty - although I can't quite remember what happened before, judging from the scene at that time, I think I must have had a conflict with someone else.
"I looked around the house but didn't find the man, but I heard a commotion on the street. I felt something was wrong, so I struggled to get up and ran to the balcony. Sure enough, right below my room, there was a man lying on the ground, motionless, and he looked like he had fallen to his death.
"The place where he was lying was facing the balcony of that room, and it was obvious that I pushed him over.
"I was afraid of being arrested and I was also afraid of the police. When I heard the police car approaching, I wanted to run away. But when I left the room, I realized that this building was unfamiliar to me. I had a headache and body pain at the time. I felt so weak that I wanted to collapse after walking a few steps. I couldn't run far. So in the end, I had to find a place to hide and recover my strength."
As for the hiding place he chose, needless to say - it was the bathroom where he had just attempted to attack Mao Lilan but failed.
When Honda Ryohei said this, he indeed looked up at the bathroom.
But this place obviously brought him extremely bad memories, so he quickly looked away:
"I hid in the bathroom for a while and slowly recovered my strength. I wanted to sneak out without alerting anyone, but it didn't go as planned. When I walked out, I accidentally knocked over the fire extinguisher next to the door."
"The fire extinguisher rolled out with a loud noise. Someone was startled by the noise and ran over from the stairs." He quickly glanced at Mao Lilan, then quickly lowered his eyes without daring to look directly at her. "She shouted some names I didn't know and mentioned the police. I was really afraid of being caught at the time, so I wanted to take her hostage..."
This memory is even more painful.
As he was talking, Honda Ryohei suddenly realized that he seemed to be exposing himself. So he suddenly changed his mind and decisively changed the topic that Inspector Yasa had just mentioned: "I don't understand! I really don't understand why I had such a fierce conflict with the person who fell from the building - although I can't remember what happened before, I don't think I'm the kind of person who would kill someone when I get excited!"
Jiang Xia glanced at him: "..." Indeed, although you look like a murderer, you don't have any murderous aura at all. It's obvious that you have no future in this area.
...But on second thought, it was thanks to this man that Ireland was able to emit so much smoke and murderous aura just now.
Jiang Xia: “…” And just now when he was investigating the crime scene, he also picked up a large ball of ownerless murderous aura that had fallen off in the building. This unexpected little surprise really made him happy.
Thinking of these points, and looking at the ragged burly man opposite, Jiang Xia's eyes became a little friendlier: "Don't get excited, I also don't think you are the kind of criminal who would kill people."
Honda Ryohei nodded gratefully, feeling that he had met a good person.
Next to him, Inspector Yasa didn't expect that Jiang Xia, who could talk criminals to their knees, would suddenly become so easy to talk to. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Xia, stunned for a moment, suspecting that this high school detective was secretly planning something bad.
Jiang Xia ignored his suspicious gaze and looked at Honda Ryohei: "I heard from your coworkers that you met an acquaintance on the street yesterday, and you have been absent-minded since then - judging from today's situation, the person you met yesterday should be the person who fell from the building today."
Honda Ryohei murmured again, "Acquaintance? I am an acquaintance of his? Then I would definitely not push him down the stairs. I think I am a very loyal person."
Jiang Xia did not answer him, but turned around and looked at the crowd.
Soon, his eyes fell on a social animal who was mixed in with the police.
——The person who fell from the building opened a loan company in this building, and the office worker present was the secretary of the person who fell from the building.
When the incident happened tonight, the secretary was drinking nearby. Suddenly he noticed a commotion nearby, with many people running in one direction to eat watermelons, so he came over to take a look out of curiosity, only to find that the watermelon he was eating was on his boss's head.
Since the secretary was also considered a related person, he was retained by the police to assist in solving the case.
Jiang Xia looked at the secretary and asked, "What are the characteristics of Mr. Ogata's voice when he speaks?"
"Characteristics?" The secretary looked a little confused.
He had been quietly blending in with the police force, working as a door opener with all the company's keys. He didn't expect the detective to suddenly find him and ask such a strange question.
But since the other party asked and the police had no intention of stopping it, I could only answer it seriously.
The secretary thought about it carefully and said, "As for the characteristics of his voice... By the way, when Mr. Ogata speaks, he gives people the feeling of those orators who have accomplished nothing but have a powerful mouth. Well, I'm not saying that he is good at making big promises and threatening people, but he always sounds very confident when he speaks, which can easily affect other people's mentality.
"Also, his voice sounds very hoarse, which makes people feel uncomfortable after listening to it for a long time, just like listening to a duck with an injured throat. Uh, well, I mean he might be working too much overtime and too hard, and he is ill from overwork. Oh, to be honest, he really should take some time to see a doctor to check his throat."
Jiang Xia: "..." I can see that you hate this boss. But you don't seem to want to kill him. Is it because he gave too much?
Inspector Yassa was also listening.
At first he was curious about why Jiang Xia asked this question, but when he heard the characteristic of "hoarse voice", he suddenly realized something:
"Could it be that the acquaintance Honda met yesterday was actually the guy who committed a crime with him eight years ago but was not caught, that is, the boss of this loan company, Ogata?!"
This sudden encounter may sound too good to be true, but after a few days, Inspector Yasa discovered that any coincidence is possible around this amazing detective, Jiang Xia.
