Chapter 1562 Chapter 1570 [Case Closed]
Jiang Xia: "When Mr. Honda was not paying attention, President Ogata grabbed an ornament in the room and smashed it on the back of his head, trying to silence him.
"But President Ogata overestimated his own strength and underestimated Mr. Honda's ability to withstand blows."
At this point, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at the wall next to him, where there were still spider-web-like cracks left when Honda Ryohei was kicked away by Mao Lilan:
“So President Ogata’s attack not only failed to kill Mr. Honda, it also failed to completely incapacitate him.
"Mr. Honda didn't expect his former accomplice to suddenly hit him. After being injured, he got up in a panic and ran out of the office. In the process, he accidentally knocked over the sofa behind him.
"When President Ogata saw his target escape alive, he panicked even more than he did. He hastily dropped the ornaments in his hand and chased after him. On the way, he accidentally knocked the coffee table over - that's why the room was in such a mess.
"The two chased each other and finally came to the rooftop. After a shove, President Ogata finally succeeded in pushing Mr. Honda down the stairs.
"Wait, President Ogata pushed Mr. Honda off the building?" Inspector Asa was confused. "President Ogata was the one who fell from the building, right? Did you get it wrong?"
Jiang Xia shook his head, and suddenly raised his hand to point at Dr. Agasa and the others who were eating melons:
“My friends are very observant and won’t lie about the case—you remember they said that they saw someone push another person down from the rooftop a dozen minutes before the fall.
"That was actually the scene at the time. It's just that the building wasn't particularly tall, and the balconies on the 1st to 3rd floors were protruding outside, plus... plus Mr. Honda had a very strong vitality. So at that time, he didn't fall to the bottom of the building, but fell to the balcony on the 3rd floor, and then fainted.
"President Ogata saw this scene on the rooftop, and hurried back to the office on the third floor, dragging the unconscious Mr. Honda from the balcony into the house. This is the origin of the drag mark on the balcony and the stains on Mr. Honda's body."
"He was hit hard on the back of the head, then pushed down the stairs, and finally..." Mao Lilan looked at this man who had experienced so much. She guessed that Honda Ryohei's mind became unclear after being beaten for the first time. She sympathized with him and said, "If Mr. Honda had rushed downstairs instead of running to the rooftop, he might have escaped successfully."
"Maybe he can only run to the rooftop." When Jiang Xia mentioned this, he looked at the secretary hiding in the crowd and suddenly asked, "Why are you here so late at night?"
The secretary was quietly eating the gossip about his boss, but unexpectedly he was suddenly called out by the detective.
He came back to his senses and pushed his glasses up: "Because Boss Ogata asked me to come to the company at midnight and lock the door..."
Halfway through the conversation, the secretary suddenly understood: "Oh! The boss is worried that when he murders Mr. Honda, someone unrelated will break into the building and see him handling the body, so he wants to lock the door. He asked me to lock the door because if he does it himself, it will easily arouse Mr. Honda's suspicion."
Jiang Xia omitted a line and nodded with satisfaction: "You have a bright future. If Boss Ogata goes to jail this time and your company goes bankrupt, why not try to become a private detective."
Secretary: "...Thank you, I'll think about it."
When Inspector Yasa saw that Jiang Xia was trying to turn the London people into detectives, and he was lobbying in front of him, his eyes jumped: "Let's talk business first! According to what you said, it was Mr. Honda who was pushed off the building, but in fact it was President Ogata who fell from the building. The onlookers downstairs can testify to this."
Conan saw that even though Jiang Xia had said this, Inspector Yasa was still struggling with this simple question.
He sighed and couldn't help but speak:
"Just imagine the scene at that time. After the strong and healthy Mr. Honda finally fainted, President Ogata, who wanted to silence him, must have breathed a sigh of relief. He would then decide to carry out his previous plan - take Mr. Honda to a hidden place and bury him in a pit.
"If you were in a situation where you needed to hide a body far away, what would be your first step?"
Inspector Yasa felt that this child was strange: "…Why would I hide a body?"
Conan: "Because you have to understand the criminal's thinking, so that you can reconstruct the scene at the time of the crime... If you don't have such basic skills, how did you solve the murders in the past?"
Inspector Yasa: "..." Who can solve murder cases every day! And how many times do I have to tell you that today's case is not a murder case? President Ogata, who fell from the building, is still being treated in the hospital!
How can a child think like this?
The answer seems simple - it must have been taught by the adults around me.
Thinking of the "detective mentor" who often stayed with Conan, Inspector Arthur couldn't help but have a headache: Could it be that Jiang Xia usually teaches this kid to solve cases in this way?
...A first-grade child always puts himself in the role of a criminal. What if after a long time, the child can no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood, empathizes with the criminals, and then gradually thinks that he is a criminal, and eventually really becomes a high-IQ criminal?
Inspector Yasa: “…” This kid Jiang Xia has done all kinds of evil things!
After this case is over, I have to find time to talk to Jiang Xia. Children should not be educated like this, otherwise there will be many more terrible detectives in the world in the future.
When Inspector Yasa thought that there were detectives like Jiang Xia all over the world, and that every time the police investigated a case, there was always a passing detective who would interrupt and take charge of the overall situation, and mess up the crime scene, he felt like his hair fell out in clumps.
Seeing that he ignored him, Conan thought that Inspector Asa was still thinking about the question he had just asked.
Thinking that the inspector was old after all, and that he couldn't expect too much from his ability to solve cases, Conan sighed and decided to take the initiative to reveal the secret:
"President Ogata plans to bury the body in a hidden place, and whether it is transporting the body or digging a pit and filling it with soil, it will inevitably take a lot of time. He will not be able to return to this office in the short term.
"His office was in a state of chaos, just like what we see now. President Ogata realized that if someone accidentally entered the office while he was away and saw the situation, that person would definitely be impressed and reveal extremely unfavorable information to President Ogata when the police came to investigate, or even take the initiative to call the police.
"So President Ogata can't leave without worrying about it until this place is restored. He plans to restore the crime scene here to its original state first.
"After taking such a close look, he suddenly discovered that Mr. Honda's glasses were missing from his nose."
