Chapter 1575 1583 [Conan: Uzo is controlling me! ]
The young police officer flipped through the documents in his hand and said, "Today is a day off here. There is no one in the building and the elevator cannot be used. The only way to get to the top of the building is through the emergency passage. We just received a report from the hospital that the person who fell from the building was drunk and could not even stand steadily. It was impossible for him to climb up by himself!"
——Since the person who fell from the building could not climb up the stairs by himself, someone must have brought the drunk person to the roof and then pushed him down.
When Sheriff Anna heard these words, her eyes became serious. At the same time, she felt as if a heavy weight had finally fallen off her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief. "So the person who brought the person upstairs is the real murderer in this case. This is indeed not an ordinary suicide or accidental fall."
Jiang Xia looked at the crowd around him: "If that's the case, the murderer might still be nearby."
After saying that, looking at Sheriff Anna's sharp eyes, he added: "But it's been a while since the fall from the building. There's a lot of traffic here, so the man may have escaped a long time ago."
Sheriff Anna sighed: "We still have to search. Oh, I'll go arrange some manpower."
She found a few police officers and told them a few things.
After she finished the arrangements, Jiang Xia looked at the top floor and said, "We probably can't help with the manhunt. Can I go to the rooftop of this building? The person who fell should have fallen from there."
Sheriff Anna glanced at the zombie-like Inspector Asa, hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and then leaned in and whispered: "Go around that way, don't let him see you."
Conan, who had been paying attention to what was going on here, said: "..." I've only been in London for a few days, and the police are actively helping Jiang Xia sneak into the crime scene. This neighbor has a really good relationship with the police...
Jiang Xia made an "OK" gesture to Sheriff Anna, and as expected, he did not alarm Inspector Yasa. He entered the building silently by blocking the blind spot of the tired officer's vision.
Several other companions noticed his actions and slipped in one by one like guilty thieves and went upstairs with him.
…
Soon, Sheriff Anna also followed - after all, not all police officers knew Jiang Xia, and if they wanted to reach the top of the building smoothly, she had to come over to help scan her face.
The group went up the emergency stairs and arrived at the rooftop.
Jiang Xia looked around and quickly found the corresponding position where the person fell from the building. He walked over and said, "That person must have fallen from here."
This building is higher than other nearby rooftops, and can avoid potential sightlines from many directions. Huiyuan Ai breathed in the fresh air on the rooftop, and her slightly depressed mood became a little more relaxed.
She raised her head slightly, looking at the railing in front of her that was taller than her, and pointed out the marks on it to Jiang Xia: "There are obvious wipe marks here, and they are very fresh. It should be caused by the clothes of the person who fell from the building rubbing against the railing when he was thrown down."
Jiang Xia nodded.
Next to him, Conan couldn't help but look around along the railing.
At the same time, he always felt that something was wrong: "The person who fell from the building looked a little fat, so he must have been quite heavy. And the building was so tall... Why did the murderer go to such great lengths to carry the person to the top of the building and then push him down?"
When Inspector Anna heard his childish voice, she couldn't help laughing - this elementary school student with glasses had always behaved very calmly, just like an adult, and because of this, Inspector Yasa had scolded him countless times.
But now it seems that the child's thinking ability is indeed still insufficient... The police inspector is really something, he actually pays so much attention to a cute child and always mutters that he is worried that he will be led astray by Jiang Xia.
Sheriff Anna thought about it and reminded him gently, "The murderer actually wants to use this method to disguise a murder case as 'jumping to suicide' or 'falling to death' - this way he doesn't have to be hunted by us and can escape the punishment of the law."
Conan shook his head. "Of course I know that. What I mean is, there are countless ways to disguise suicide or accidents, such as electrocution, taking forbidden drugs after drinking, drowning, or even suffocating from vomiting and drunkenness... Any of these methods would be easier than this one, but why did the murderer choose the most troublesome one?"
"……?"
Sheriff Anna was stunned: ...Why does this kid know so many criminal methods? !
The method Conan just mentioned kept flashing through her mind. Finally, she looked at the lens of the child reflecting the sunlight. For some reason, Sheriff Anna shuddered silently.
Sheriff Anna: “…” The old man is indeed the wisest. The inspector’s concerns… are actually justified!
…
Although Sheriff Anna added a lot of strange special effects in his mind, in the final analysis, Conan is just a Tokyo detective who is serious about solving cases.
He stopped halfway and looked at the railing next to him. "Wait, there are also traces of wiping here, and they are also very fresh. They should have been left just now!"
“?!”
Sheriff Anna put her previous thoughts aside for the moment and walked over.
Jiang Xia also came to the railing. He looked down at the marks on it and said, "The general pattern and shape are very similar to the marks left at the point of falling from the building. In other words, the murderer originally wanted to push the person down from here, but for some reason, he changed his mind and ran to the other side."
As Sheriff Anna listened, she also felt that the murderer's behavior was strange: "Why would he choose a place to throw someone? Could it be that there was someone he particularly wanted to hit near the falling point?"
Conan looked at the marks on the railing in silence.
When he mentioned "someone I particularly wanted to hit", the suspicious passerby who was hit last night suddenly flashed through his mind.
Conan clenched his fists silently: "..." If the murderer can be caught, he doesn't know if there will be a chance to ask the murderer about the organization and the "stage".
But when he thought rationally, he felt that there was little hope - because from what happened just now, this time the tall man was almost hit by the person falling from the building, not only because the murderer threw people down from the roof, but also because Conan himself kicked a ball and accidentally knocked the person falling from the building there.
Conan: “…” In other words, if what happened today was really a “stage” set up by someone, then he, the person playing football, was obviously an important part of it.
...But he clearly had not received any hints, let alone any signs of being manipulated by others. How did the legendary "that adult" do it? !
Is there really such a miraculous method of committing a crime?
