Chapter 182 Huiyuan Ai: It’s so tiring to help Jiang Xia cover up his vest
"Dead?" Jiang Xia was startled, and gently put her on the ground, his expression became gentle, "Don't be afraid, talk slowly."
"I, I just wanted to go to the balcony to find evidence." Ayumi wiped her tearful eyes:
“Who knew that when I looked outside just now, I suddenly saw a strange single-family house—through its window, I could actually see blood!
"I didn't think it was blood at first. I just thought it was beautiful red, so I wanted to climb up to take a look. Then I saw... I saw an uncle kneeling next to the bathtub, his upper body in the water, and the water was full of blood! There was so much blood, he must be dead, wuwuwu..."
The others also heard the noise and crowded onto the balcony.
Inspector Megure was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that when he came out to work overtime in the middle of the night, he would accidentally run into a case.
Jiang Xia glanced at her and patted the head of the frightened little girl: "Don't be afraid, tell uncle, which house did you see?"
“…That’s the one.”
Ayumi tightly grasped Jiang Xia's arm, as if she had gained some courage, and gently pointed to the place she saw.
The officers moved closer to the railing and searched in the direction she pointed, but they couldn't determine which room it was.
——This happened to be a residential area with many houses. At first glance, all the windows had curtains drawn, and none of them "looked scarlet".
"..." Jiang Xia was silent for a moment and looked at Mist Tengu.
This time, Mist Tengu successfully understood what its master meant. It flapped its wings and flew in the direction where Yoshida Ayumi pointed, like a hummingbird crossbow arrow.
Not long after, he flew back with more information.
——Ayumi Yoshida was not mistaken, there was indeed a dead body over there.
...Of course, there is also a fresh Shikigami clinging to the murderer's legs.
…
Although we are still dealing with Mr. Dongshan's case, we can't just ignore it unless there is a murder case nearby.
And judging from Yoshida Ayumi's description, the person may have died not long ago.
The police are worried about the lack of manpower.
At this time, Jiang Xia's clear voice came from the side: "The murderer of this case should be Beichuan Long, who helped Mr. Dongshan go home after he got drunk. The children's notebooks said that Beichuan Long had a Band-Aid on his thumb. It was probably the mark left when he was stabbed by the deceased's cactus when he was setting up the scene. You can check the cactus on the balcony later. As for his method... time is urgent, let's talk about it on the way."
"Okay!" Inspector Megure was very pleased. The best decision he made today was to use all kinds of hints to lure Jiang Xia to the scene.
Sato was also very pleased and felt that the best thing he had done today was to make it clear to Jiang Xia for help - although Jiang Xia had not finished describing the process of the crime, at this rate, it would not be difficult for the wrongly accused Mr. Dongshan to catch the plane to find his daughter.
…
Following Yoshida Ayumi's directions, a group of people walked through the complex residential area and found the target after a while.
Inspector Megure came to the detached house with the "Tanaka" name sign and rang the doorbell.
After ringing the door for a while, an angry middle-aged man wearing a bathrobe and glasses impatiently opened the door: "What are you doing?! It's so noisy!"
"Sorry, can I use your bathroom?" Sato Miwako pushed the door open and went straight to the bathroom.
However, when they arrived at the place and opened the door, they found it very clean inside - no blood and no corpse.
Inspector Megure was stunned and looked at Yoshida Ayumi inquiringly.
Ayumi muttered in confusion: "This should be it... I, I'm not seeing things."
Jiang Xia knew that she was not lying, so he lowered his hand and touched her head.
Yoshida Ayumi shuddered. She was afraid, but at the same time she felt safe. The two instincts conflicted, and she ended up like a shivering little rabbit, freezing in place and letting people touch her head, not daring to move.
…
Jiang Xia looked towards the clean bathroom, then at the owner who was following closely behind them:
"I can't see the blood, which doesn't mean anything - this is a bathroom, blood stains are easy to wash away, and I always feel... there is a faint smell of blood here."
The owner of the house glared at him, a murderous aura slowly emanating from him.
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up slightly.
Next to her, Huibara Ai heard Jiang Xia's words, and sniffed carefully with her little nose raised, but only smelled the scent of disinfectant.
"..." Huiyuan Ai held her chin and fell into deep thought: Could it be that only certain people can smell the "bloody smell"? For example, people who often kill people and bleed during missions... huh? !
Thinking of this, Huibara Ai was slightly startled.
She raised her hand and wanted to secretly pull the corner of Jiang Xia's clothes to remind him to cover his vest.
However, at this moment, Conan next to him suddenly nodded very confidently: "Yes, I smell blood too."
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
...Detectives are truly a curious species.
She wanted to hold Jiang Xia's hand, but she turned around silently, put it on her temples, and pretended to tidy up her hair.
Miyano Akemi, who was lying on top of her, was startled, and happily rubbed her palm, patting her head with her sister across the dimension.
Inspector Megure also failed to smell the blood.
But he believed very much in Jiang Xia's judgment - after all, Jiang Xia was a young man whose hardware equipment was at its peak, and his nose must be sharper than his.
