Chapter 1859-1867 [Watson? What Watson?]
The shadow didn't expect that someone was lying in ambush at the door of the ward. She was startled and instinctively pulled the bed curtain next to her. The curtain was pulled up with a swish, blocking her from the sight of the people at the door.
Then she suddenly discovered something. She looked down at the hospital bed and saw that the person lying on the bed was not "President Inozuka" at all, but just a medical model with a wig.
"President Izuka didn't make it through the rescue. I was planning to ask him for a photo, what a pity." Jiang Xia's regretful voice sounded at the door. The detective walked towards the bed while speaking, "The reason why I spread the rumor that he is still alive is just to make the 'Funeral Silver Coin' show up on his own initiative. Now it seems that this invitation method is very effective..."
"Wait, wait!" A voice suddenly interrupted Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia paused, turned around, and saw a dazzling golden hair rushing towards him from the corridor.
The blonde secretary of Rokujo Fashion Design Company also appeared at the door. She looked very confused: "Isn't the 'Funeral Silver Coin' the pig grave that was successfully rescued? How come it suddenly became someone else?"
"President Izuka is just a pitiful scapegoat." Jiang Xia stroked his chin and looked at her. "Come to think of it, why are you here in the middle of the night?"
"!" The murderous aura in the blonde secretary's body trembled when he stared at her like that. She said loudly with a guilty conscience, "My, our president was killed by those weirdos from the Inozuka Company. Can't I come over and scold him a bit?"
Hashimoto Maya looked at her silently: "..." Could it be that this person heard the news that "President Inozuka" was successfully rescued and came here to assassinate Inozuka Jiro and avenge President Rokujo?
It is true that the earlier you come, the worse it is, and the later you arrive, the later you will be caught. Facts have proved that sometimes when you meet someone you hate, you don’t need to do anything. Just be patient and take action later, and maybe that person will die on his own, such as Jiro Izuka who has attracted a lot of hatred.
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya couldn't help but feel fortunate: Fortunately, she had held back before and didn't kill this worthy guy...
By the way, the person standing still behind the bed curtain who was lured by the news released by Jiang Xia is Wu Zuo? Is he? Is he not?
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Catching Uzo like this always feels unreal. And he found that he hoped it was Uzo, but also hoped it wasn't... If it was, he wouldn't have to live in Uzo's terrible shadow. But at the same time, if something happened to the cadres, would he, a peripheral member nearby, really not be implicated?
And if it weren’t for…
The desire to survive made Hashimoto Maya's thoughts a mess. In the end, he decided to stand still and pretend that he was just an innocent stake held hostage by the detectives and the police.
…
After placing the extra murderous aura at the door, Jiang Xia continued, "The one who killed President Rokujo and Vice President Inukai of Putuo was Takamori Masumi who was controlled by the 'Funeral Silver Coin'. But on the last night, it was the 'Funeral Silver Coin' himself who killed Assistant Kiriyama."
When Miwako Sato heard him start to reason, she immediately took out her pen and bit off the cap. With her other hand, she grabbed the notebook and began to take notes skillfully.
While taking notes, he kept asking questions that he didn't understand: "But when we found Assistant Kiriyama's body, there were only the deceased and Takamori Masumi in the room. The room was locked at the time, and the windows couldn't be opened. The only key was in the deceased's hand. It was a real secret room."
"It just looks like a secret room."
As he spoke, Jiang Xia looked at Conan.
Conan immediately understood and took out something: "Officer Sato, look."
"?" Mao Lilan lowered her head first, and saw what Conan was holding. She was slightly surprised, "Conan, why did you take someone else's hotel key?"
"Sure enough..." Conan pushed his glasses up and wanted to give a mysterious smile while explaining the key.
However, before he could open his mouth, Suzuki Sonoko's fist of justice arrived first and hit him on the head with a thud: "Give it back now! The naughty kid is really causing trouble without even a glance."
"..." Conan's mysterious detective temperament was knocked out by the thump. He grabbed his glasses that were about to slip off and said, "Can you please listen to me?"
Hashimoto Maya couldn't help but look down at him: "..." This kid is quite good at learning detective. Just looking at the first part, for a moment, I actually felt that Conan was a serious detective.
...Just like the group of child guerrillas in the Sherlock Holmes stories. Could it be that Jiang Xia specially trained them? Is this detective also a fan of Sherlock Holmes? Haha, he really knows how to play. When he graduates and officially enters the society, Jiang Xia will not want to hire a Watson assistant for himself.
When Hashimoto Maya was distracted and analyzing the hobbies of contemporary high school detectives.
Jiang Xia brought the messy topic back on track and accelerated the process of leaving get off work: "Actually, this is not the key to the hotel."
"Ah? But..." At first, Miwako Sato also thought that Conan had stolen the evidence. After all, this kid was not the first time to do such a thing.
But unlike the onlookers, Officer Sato was a police officer who had carefully examined the evidence, and she finally discovered something was wrong.
Miwako Sato looked at the shape of the key carefully and suddenly understood: "It's just an ordinary key, but it's hung on a keychain specially used for hotel room keys."
"That's right," Jiang Xia said. "No matter how strict the hotel's management is, they won't check the key holes one by one when they collect the keys. As long as they replace the key with a keychain with a different house number, they can use it to pretend to be the key of another room."
"This is the secret of the 'Secret Room'." Jiang Xia said, "Two days before killing the assistant, 'Funeral Silver Coin' borrowed the spare key of the assistant's room from the front desk under the pretext of getting materials.
"After getting the key, 'Funeral Silver Coin' immediately took it and his own door key off the keychain and swapped the tags.
"When she returned the 'assistant's spare key' to the front desk, she actually returned her own room key. The assistant's spare key ended up in her hands. She could enter and lock the door at any time, and create a 'secret room' as she pleased.
"The hotel room doors here are of an old-fashioned style, and they won't lock automatically when you leave. So as long as you don't worry about losing anything, it won't affect 'Funeral Silver Coin' using your room."
Miwako Sato scratched her head with her pen. "But when we went to look for the assistant, we borrowed her spare key from the front desk to open the locked door. That key was indeed the key to the deceased's room."
