Chapter 1574 1582 [You are also Whiskey]
Although he had been sneaking around in the organization, even if it was just relying on his survival instinct, Subaru Okiya had learned a lot of information inside the organization intentionally or unintentionally.
——For example, I heard that the drink "Whiskey" is mostly drunk by ruthless characters. Although there is also an unfounded rumor that this kind of drink often produces undercover agents, for example, Mr. Akai's code name was once "Rye Whiskey"... But no matter whether he is an undercover agent or not, as long as this person's current identity is still an organization cadre, he will only be as cruel as an organization cadre.
In short, Subaru Okiya felt that as an ordinary and weak passerby, it would be best for him not to interfere in the "friendship" between his boss and Ireland without authorization.
So between "following Jiangxia" and "tracking Ireland", Okiya Subaru decisively chose the former - compared to the terrible cadre called "old friend" by Uzo, Jiangxia's side was more reassuring no matter how you looked at it.

downstairs.
Jiang Xia and Sheriff Anna met in a corner where Inspector Yasa couldn't see.
Then Sheriff Anna skillfully provided information:
"The identity of the person who fell from the building is very easy to check. From the ID he carried with him, it can be seen that he is a Japanese national, and his name is, uh, called..."
Jiang Xia looked down at the information in her hand and found that this person's name was indeed a bit difficult to pronounce for the London police, so she read it for her: "Fukurokouji Sadao."
"Oh! That's right, that's the sound." Sheriff Anna couldn't help but praise him again, "You speak Japanese really well."
Suddenly, a head popped out from the side.
Suzuki Sonoko appeared out of nowhere. She suspected that the beautiful police chief was just making small talk and chatting during work hours, so she interrupted the conversation in English with a Japanese accent: "Jiang Xia speaks Japanese every day, so of course her Japanese is very good."
"..." Sheriff Anna was silent for a moment, and suddenly realized that what the little girl from Tokyo said made sense.
She silently raised her hand and patted her forehead, reflecting on her stupidity again. Then she suddenly remembered something and looked at Suzuki Sonoko in confusion: "It seems like I'm seeing you for the first time. You are..."
"She's my classmate, she just came this morning." Jiang Xia seemed very happy to have another classmate around him. "It's because of her that we feel that missing the plane is not a big deal. Our friends came all the way to play with us, how can we leave right away?"
Sheriff Anna paused with her pen in her hand: "Indeed, that... Ahem, welcome! I hope you have a good time next time."
At the same time, she couldn't help muttering in her heart: ... I must not let Inspector Yasa hear this - her poor boss might still think that Jiang Xia and the others will only stay for a short time until the next flight takes off. If he heard this bad news...
Sheriff Anna couldn't help but let her thoughts wander.
However, the high school detective sitting opposite her who loved his job actually remembered what he was doing.
"Is there only information about his name?" Jiang Xia pointed at the folder in Sheriff Anna's hand and gently reminded her to come back to her senses. "Is there any information about his interpersonal relationships or work? We first need to figure out whether this is suicide or homicide."
The person who fell from the building had just been pulled away, and the police here were not very efficient. Sheriff Anna had obviously not received more detailed information.
Just as I was feeling worried, an enthusiastic bystander came over and said, "Do I need to ask? It must be suicide! You may not know that this guy hangs out in bars all year round and often curses when drunk, saying things like 'nothing goes well' and 'it's better to just die'."
"Really?" Sheriff Anna hurriedly wrote down the answer, and she also felt that this sounded like suicide.
But before she came to a conclusion in her mind, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look at Jiang Xia, and silently erased this assumption from her mind: Although this is not scientific, based on previous experiences, with this high school detective around, no matter how much the incidents looked like "accidents" and "suicides", there must be other hidden stories behind them.
"That's right!" Suzuki Sonoko, who was listening, suddenly remembered something, "Wasn't there a person who was almost hit? - On the other hand, the murderer might have targeted that person, and the person who fell from the building was just a tool to kill him. Why not ask that person if he has any grudges against anyone?"
Sheriff Anna: "..." Have you already admitted that there is a murderer? He is indeed Jiang Xia's classmate...
Jiang Xia: "..." I didn't realize that Yuanzi also had the potential to be a detective. It's a pity that she has to go to school and can't skip classes to work as a detective...
Jiang Xia regretfully touched the business card in his pocket, turned around and walked towards the unlucky passerby who was being questioned by several other police officers: "That's right, let's get some information from him first."
…
"Who did you have a feud with?"
Xiao Songjun scratched his head in confusion, and couldn't come up with an answer for a long time, so he laughed good-naturedly: "I don't think I have any enemies. After all, I never quarrel with anyone. I am just an ordinary office worker and I don't get in the way of others."
Jiang Xia looked at the tall and smiling man in front of him - when the person fell from the roof just now, Xiao Songjun was standing downstairs, laughing happily, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The place where he was standing was exactly where the person falling from the building would have landed. If Conan hadn't thrown a ball at that time and kicked the bad luck to the Irish side, the person who was hit would have become the office worker in front of him.
"However, as to why it was hit, I do have some ideas." Xiao Songjun sighed helplessly.
When Sheriff Anna heard this, her ears perked up immediately: Tokyo is indeed full of hidden talents. A high school girl who seems to have nothing to do with detectives can actually point out the key to the matter.
She quickly grabbed the pen: "Tell me in detail."
Xiao Songjun laughed and said, "Actually, I have always had bad luck. Someone happened to commit suicide on that street, and I was standing there, so I got hit - it should be that simple."
Jiang Xia: “…” You are such a good helper to the police.
Sheriff Anna: "..." If only it were that simple. However, even if the passerby was almost hit by the falling building, it was an accident, the fact that the person fell from the building itself might have the aura of a case.
Suzuki Sonoko didn't think too much about it. She touched her chin like Jiang Xia did, and soon came up with a new speculation: "In this case, could it really be a failed suicide? Some people are indeed unlucky and always encounter the same type of things one after another." ... For example, Jiang Xia and his murder case, "Fortunately, it didn't cause too many casualties in the end."
As soon as he finished speaking, a police officer suddenly ran over with a serious look on his face: "Sheriff! We just checked this building and got some information."
