Chapter 1731 1739 [Bourbon: Don’t mention that river]
Even if the video can be tampered with, we can find out whether the video was taken last night by asking the courier.
Inspector Megure had no choice but to leave the suspect behind for now: "Confirm with the courier company!"
The police officers were busy running around, and outside the interrogation room, Yoko Kinoshita secretly took out her cell phone.
Jiang Xia went to see out of curiosity and found that she was writing something in the memo.
Noticing Jiang Xia's gaze, the star, who has recently become very interested in the detective industry, explained in a low voice: "Based on experience, this kind of alibi that is not accompanied by anyone else and only relies on video footage is the most unreliable. It's like putting the murderer's identity on his face."
Jiang Xia: "Hmm..." Why don't you stop being a star and become a detective instead? Although your accuracy rate may not be 100%, you can still be an assistant. And if you do that, maybe after a while, "Mr. Yamada" will be unable to resist and come to be a detective assistant, buy one get one free.
Jiang Xia thought about the scene of himself being surrounded by rare and high-level murderous aura in the future, and fell into contemplation for a short time.
…
The police were also very efficient. They not only found the courier company, but also found the courier who delivered the package last night through the courier company.
So Jiang Xia was looking at her experience book with Kinoshita Yoko, when suddenly he felt a ball of coffee coming out of the elevator and walking straight towards them.
Jiang Xia was attracted by the murderous smell and looked towards the door: "..." It's you again. No wonder I always felt that the courier in the video looked familiar.
Kinoshita Yoko didn't expect that the person who came was actually the boss of Jiangxia's detective agency. She was surprised and said, "I thought you were just making excuses when you said you had a part-time job yesterday. So you really have a part-time job?"
Toru Amuro: "..."
He went there to deliver a package because the apartment building was related to the target he was investigating recently. However, there was no clue about the target yet, but the building was linked to a murder case.
Jiang Xia also stood up and greeted his boss: "Boss? Your schedule is so full these two days."
A pot of extra coffee overflowed, and the veins on Amuro Toru's forehead jumped: "......#" Who can I blame for this!
...But if you think about it carefully, it seems that it cannot be blamed on Jiang Xia.
He live-streamed all day yesterday, and in the afternoon he went to find President Takei to investigate a case with Jiang Xia and Kinoshita Yoko. In the evening he ran into Ireland, and after making an appointment he went back to work part-time at the courier company.
Today he went to keep an appointment with Ireland, but unexpectedly he encountered a kidnapping case at the meeting place, which later evolved into a bombing... In order to avoid the police and reporters on the scene, he could only soak in the river for a long time. He finally climbed ashore and thought he was fine, but the case by the river once again involved him.
Yesterday was fine, but Toru Amuro simply doesn’t want to recall today’s experience.
But if one really recalls it, apart from the unpleasant incidents of soaking in the river and nearly being bombed, the rest of his work intensity was no different from his usual work schedule. He even slept quite well last night...
Toru Amuro: “…” By this calculation, that bastard from Ireland takes up the most time on the schedule.
Jiang Xia didn't do anything, he just had the bad luck of running into murders as usual.
After reviewing the situation, he had a clear target of hatred. While Toru Amuro took a heavy slap in his heart against Ireland, he didn't dislike Jiang Xia so much anymore.
He nodded to the young detective who was entangled in events every day, and continued Jiang Xia's words: "I've been busy recently."
Jiang Xia glanced at him and found that the roots of his hair were still a little wet.
Conan also noticed this, and his eyes instantly became sharp: How strange, this time is neither early nor late, why does Boss Amuro want to take a shower at this time?
In an instant, all kinds of speculations popped up in Conan's mind, such as he had to wash his body after killing someone because of the blood, he had to wash his body after shooting to prevent the smoke from getting on his body, and he had to rinse his body after being splashed with sea water when throwing cement blocks in Tokyo Bay... Well, the last one is not very reliable, as this place is still some distance from the sea.
All the reliable and unreliable thoughts flashed through Conan's mind, and finally a picture was fixed in his mind: the small mountain auto repair factory they had visited not long ago. If I remember correctly, the factory was by the river, and the warehouse was also next to a river.
Plus the wrinkles on Jiang Xia's collar...
Conan touched his chin: Was Boss Amuro really in the warehouse at that time, and then he hid in the water for a while to avoid the search?
Well, the situation at that time...
Conan took advantage of his height and quietly approached to look at Toru Amuro's hands. Sure enough, he saw some traces of having just been soaked in water. Maybe he had just taken a quick bath not long after coming out of the river, and until now, Toru Amuro's fingertips had some wrinkles from the soaking.
Conan: “…”
In fact, in his heart, this boss Amuro has always been mysterious, hiding a lot of things, and maybe even harboring evil intentions. He seems suspicious no matter how you look at him.
But today, Conan was unusually silent: This boss is in a bit of a bad situation today...
Moreover, when the explosion happened, he did not kill Jiang Xia together with him. It seemed that he helped Jiang Xia. He was not a complete scumbag boss. After all, he knew how to take care of his subordinates. No wonder Jiang Xia was willing to keep it a secret for him.
Conan: "..." But no matter what, the frequency of Mr. Amuro being involved in cases is not normal. What is he planning? Or is there someone else behind this?
Conan narrowed his eyes, stared at Amuro Toru's back, and fell into deep thought.
…
Toru Amuro: "Ah!"
Jiang Xia looked over and said, "Are you okay?" and stuffed something into his hand.
Toru Amuro picked it up and saw that it was a bag of ginger candy.
Toru Amuro: "?"
Jiang Xia: "Just now when I passed by the office area, a female police officer gave me some snacks. I heard they are for keeping away the cold. I'll give them to you. You seem to need them more."
The two words "keep the cold away" instantly reminded Toru Amuro of that very unpleasant fresh memory. His face had completely turned as dark as Bourbon's, and murderous intent was bubbling in his body. Of course, it was not directed at the bag of candy, but at Ireland who asked him out, and the dark shadow that might be behind this matter.
Soon he realized another thing: since Jiang Xia said this, he must have guessed what he had just experienced.
There was more murderous intent emerging silently.
Amuro Toru took a deep breath and decided to do something serious to divert his attention: "What do you want me to do?"
Miwako Sato came back to her senses: "Oh, that's it..." She briefly explained the case, "The suspect said that he had been waiting in that apartment from 6pm to 7am yesterday, and he saw you delivering a parcel at around 7pm last night. Do you remember anything about this?"
