Chapter 1971 1979 [Case Closed] Request for monthly pass ()
Jiang Xia continued his progress under the expectant gaze of a group of police officers: "The murderer untied the pre-made fishing line noose, connected one end to a sufficiently strong rope, and then rotated the new noose with half fishing line and half rope until the rope replaced the previous fishing line.
"He then had a rope that was folded in half with the opposite balcony railing as an anchor point. The murderer then tied a bag of heavy stones to one end of the rope to make a weapon like a pendulum - this was the weapon that caused the victim's head to bleed.
“When the deceased stood downstairs on the opposite floor, the murderer could aim at his head and let the bag of rocks fall from the fifth floor, hitting him hard on the head as the rope pulled it.
"The rock hit the bottom of the opposite building, smashed the victim's head, and then hit the opposite wall, which is why there are bloodstains on the wall there.
"The murderer then grabbed the other end of the rope and pulled it into the house. At this time, the rope was pulled and rubbed against the rooftop of the opposite building. The bag of stones was also dragged and eventually passed over the rooftop railing and fell heavily.
"When it fell, the stone first hit the room downstairs. Then it was dragged by the murderer and taken back into the house."
When Maya Hashimoto heard this, she finally understood what was that thing that brushed against her nose last night.
——If Wu Zuo hadn't pulled him aside, he would be the unlucky guy lying in the human-shaped white circle downstairs. So his boss actually saved his life.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." No, wait. If it wasn't for Uzo, he might not have taken this road at all, let alone almost got his head smashed by a rock falling from the sky!
"Could it be that Wu Zuo got inspiration from the fact that I approached Jiang Xia, and wanted to gain my loyalty through this false act of saving my life? Oh, what's the difference between this and hiring someone to beat up the girl you have a crush on, and then running off to save her like a hero - insidious! Cunning!"
Maya Hashimoto silently made a cursed straw man for her boss in her heart.
But thinking of Uzo's terrifying insight that could read minds, he quietly dismantled the fake straw man out of fear: "I am a qualified confidant. Even if my boss changes, I will still be loyal. Why bother with this? It's really too polite."
Different people will have different feelings when hearing the same thing.
Omura Jun suddenly remembered something else: "The knocking sound I heard this week, could it be..."
Jiang Xia looked at the temporary client and nodded: "The murderer must have practiced beforehand. After all, the rope is too long and the attack range of the weapon will be different. If he wants to succeed in one strike, he must be skilled enough.
"The place where the stone hit when he pulled it back the previous times should be the lower part of your window. But this time, because he was nervous, he pulled the rope back too quickly, so the stone hit a higher position and broke your window - so there are blood stains on the broken windows of your house, and there is no heavy object left in the house to break the window."
The owner's face turned pale. He forced himself to snort coldly, "It sounds plausible, but it's just your fabrication! - I heard that you passed by the street in front tonight, so you must know that the street light downstairs is broken. The light here is not good, and it's pitch black downstairs. How could I have hit the dead person accurately? Could it be that I can still see at night?"
"You must have smashed the streetlight yourself, in order to better hide the noose and prevent the deceased from noticing the approaching shadow of death. In addition, this can also mislead the police. By using the condition that 'it's too dark downstairs to see anything', you can prevent them from thinking of remote murder and thus clear yourself of suspicion."
Jiang Xia looked at the homeowner who had vandalized public property: "As for how you determined the deceased's position... there were a lot of cigarette butts in the ashtray in your living room, and there happened to be a few cigarette butts of the same brand at the scene of the deceased's death. From this point of view, the deceased should have been an old smoker who never put down his cigarette.
"It is very common to light a cigarette when you are bored while waiting for someone, and the cigarette is often put to the mouth - the cigarette butt flashing in the dark is your indicator to determine the location of the deceased's head."
"I see." Inspector Megure had never doubted Jiang Xia's reasoning. He touched his chin and felt that everything was connected. So he turned to the young police officer beside him and said, "Go find the murder weapon."
This was just the most common request at a crime scene, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned.
The owner of the house suddenly showed a determined smile and clasped his hands together: "Go ahead and search! It will be yours if you can find it."
Memu Police Department: "...?"
There is a conspiracy.
He immediately became alert and responded swiftly and correctly: "Brother Jiang Xia, what do you think?"
The police officers who were about to search also paused and looked over: they were working overtime, not playing a treasure hunt game. It would be better to get the boss's strategy and go straight to the target than to search the map by yourself.
Under the expectant gaze of a group of people, and the homeowner's frightened but confident look, Jiang Xia lowered his gaze to his feet.
——It was summer, but the owner was wearing a pair of very thick red socks.
The pair of socks almost blended in with the reddish-brown floor of his house and were quite inconspicuous. But when Jiang Xia looked at them, it was like pointing a stick, and everyone in the room quickly shifted their gazes and looked at the owner's feet.
The owner of the house broke out in a cold sweat.
Qing Shui Yang was startled: "Aren't these hiking socks? You really love our mountaineering club too much. You wear these to a dinner party on a hot day."
The owner of the house suddenly looked at him with murderous eyes: If this guy hadn't pointed out that he went back to the house after 9 o'clock to finish the report, how could he have been targeted by Jiang Xia!
Qing Shuiyang was startled and was very confused about his classmates' attitude towards him: "Why, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xia glanced at him and said sincerely: "You have a talent for being a detective."
Hashimoto Maya: “?”
He thought that it was somewhat special that Jiang Xia handed him a business card saying "You are suitable to be a detective", but he didn't expect that the selection criteria of this detective were so broad?
Inspector Megure saw that Jiang Xia's occupational disease was coming back, and quickly cleared his throat: "What's wrong with these socks?"
Jiang Xia came back to his senses and first stuffed the business card to Qing Shuiyang, then continued in the other party's honored but confused gaze: "This very heavy sock is part of the murder weapon - when using it, the murderer first turned it over, and then filled it with stones to make it a murder weapon that is enough to take someone's life.
"Once the crime was complete, he hastily dumped the pebbles into the fish tank, disguising them as landscaping rocks, and then turned the socks inside out and put them back on his feet."
