Chapter 1816 1823 [Taro, you have a brother, right?]
There were constant footsteps coming from behind.
Just now Jiang Xia and the others were knocking and kicking the door, making quite a noise, and other people followed over as well.
Vermouth stopped at the bathroom door, looked inside, and her eyes twitched slightly. Then she took a step and calmly blocked Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko who also wanted to come in to see.
Takako Toda and Masahiko Matsuzaki also came, not because they were there to watch the murder scene, but because it was scary to have only the two of them left in the room since everyone else had gone upstairs.
Both of them were very tall and unfortunately they looked over the shoulder of the "new doctor" and saw the horrific scene inside.
Toda Takako's legs went limp, and she took a few steps back, then knelt down against the wall, muttering, "The drowned body...it's really the 'Phantom'. He's here for revenge."
Jiang Xia was also stunned when he recognized the identity of the corpse.
Jiang Xia: "..." It's rare to meet a destined person. I originally wanted to bring Izuka Taro back to Tokyo to show Vodka and Gin. If Gin likes him, maybe he can use this person to exchange for Vodka... But now it seems that I can only show them photos.
It was completely different from Jiang Xia’s complicated mood.
To other students, it was a horror story.
"Why did the murderer want to kill the islanders?" Matsuzaki Masahiko wanted to kneel down against the wall, but his fiancée was right next to him, so he could only hold on. "This uncle should have nothing to do with the dead Tsukishima classmate. Could it be that the murderer has gone crazy and now everyone on the island has become his hunting target?!"
Jiang Xia came to his senses and took a closer look: "The man may not have drowned, but someone broke his head somewhere else and threw him into the bathtub, and then he died in the bathtub. In other words, he was attacked by the murderer somewhere else and then brought here."
As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh for this fragile colleague: He died so hastily, almost like Tequila who was killed by a bomb from a passerby...
While mourning, Jiang Xia paddled in the water.
It looked like he was checking the body, but in fact he was picking up the shikigami that fell from Izuka Taro's legs after his death, and also picked up the vigorous murderous aura and put it in his pocket. It was a pity, but he was gone, and we couldn't waste his kindness in staying.
And in some ways, Izuka Taro looks much braver than Vodka. Not only does he have a lot of murderous aura, but he also has a lot of shikigami hanging on his legs. It's a pity that although the quality of this person's murderous aura is not bad, it has not evolved into a high-end murderous aura with taste...
Next to him, Conan saw Jiang Xia bending over and stirring the blood intently, seeming to be thinking about something as he did so.
This normal yet slightly weird scene made him feel uneasy. He suspected that this smart classmate had thought of something messy, so he decided to use the detective's favorite reasoning to bring him back to reality: "Don't you think this scene is very strange?"
Jiang Xia heard someone talking and came to his senses and pulled his hand away: "Hmm?"
Conan breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Not only is the identity of the victim unusual, but the way he died is actually somewhat different from the previous two cases. Before, whether it was being crushed to death by a chandelier or being hanged, it was as exquisite as a drama, but this time the method was quite crude."
Jiang Xia went to the faucet and washed his hands. "This may be related to the cause of his death. He saw something he shouldn't have seen in some place, so the murderer killed him urgently. Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, the design of the method was flawed."
Vermouth: "..." Listening to the screenwriter reviewing his design process on the spot, it feels really subtle...
Conan was not aware of Jiang Xia's part-time job in the organization and did not think as much about it as "Dr. Shindo".
He simply nodded in agreement: "Either the deceased accidentally discovered the evidence left behind by the first two cases, or the murderer was preparing for the third case when he was unfortunately caught by the deceased. If we can find the exact location where he was attacked..."
Before he could finish, Toda Takako's voice of collapse came from behind. The focus of this female college student was a little different from that of the detective. Her voice trembled: "There is a third case?!"
Matsuzaki Masahiko was startled by her sudden emotional collapse, and it took him two seconds to realize something: "Takahata, do you know anything about what happened back then? Are you also among the murderer's targets?"
Being questioned like this, Takako Toda couldn't stand it anymore.
She stood up trembling, and suddenly turned around and ran away, as if she was afraid that the blood-red water would swallow her up.
"Takawako?!" Matsuzaki Masahiko tried to stop her but failed, so he had to chase after her.
Jiang Xia thought about it and quickly followed.
Takako Toda's legs are straight and long. Under normal circumstances, she would definitely be a good escaper, the kind that Conan couldn't catch up with even at four times the speed.
Unfortunately, she was frightened by the three consecutive cases. She ran a short distance before she knelt down at the end of the corridor, leaning against the wall and not daring to go any further.
The two detectives quickly caught the man.
Conan didn't waste time and spoke directly: "Sister Kiwako, regarding the incident of jumping off the building three years ago and the cause of Sister Tsukishima's jumping off the building, do you know a lot of inside information? - Tell us directly, otherwise I'm afraid you will be the next one."
As the last sentence came out, Toda Takakazuko trembled a little more.
Jiang Xia couldn't help but look down at Conan: "..." This threat was a natural consequence. If Kudo was born in the Black Organization, he might be a good seedling with murderous aura. After becoming a ghost fetus, his skills might be to cause a serial murder case with a wave of his hand... What a pity.
Conan had no idea of his neighbor's expectations. He walked up to Takako Toda and looked at her with a firm gaze.
Sure enough, not long after, Toda Takako confessed: "It was an accident, an accident! It was really just an accident that disfigured Fuyuko..."
She wiped her eyes and tried to stop her voice from trembling. "Dongzi and Yongmei were classmates. Not long after they joined the club, Dongzi became the star of the drama club. At that time, from the instructor to classmates in the same club, and even people who happened to pass by, as long as she was there, everyone's eyes were on her... and only on her."
"Eimi was just in her first year of high school, but she had been participating in various drama performances since elementary school. She should have been recognized as a future pillar. Although Xiaochun's drama skills were not that strong, she was lively and cute, and could quickly get along with anyone. If it weren't for Fuyuko, they would be the center of the entire drama club... But there are no ifs." Toda Takako sighed, "I can feel the frustration of Eimi and Xiaochun who want to surpass her but are powerless."
