Chapter 1987 1995 [Shirley has no conscience]
"ah--!!"
The ticket seller was standing at the back. When the light came on, she suddenly saw a corpse hanging in front of her and let out a terrified scream.
Huibara Ai turned her head and looked over there: "..." She actually encountered a case again.
But it’s okay. Anyway, the purpose of coming out today is to enhance the relationship between Jiang Xia and the children - let the children see Jiang Xia’s heroic figure in solving cases, and maybe their fear of this detective will change to admiration?
Thinking of this, she turned and looked at the three children.
Then I noticed that these children were huddled together like quails, whispering something.
Haibara Ai was startled, and walked closer quietly out of curiosity, eavesdropping with her ears perked up.
Then I heard the children's debate:
"Based on my experience, when encountering a case, Brother Jiang Xia is most likely to knock people - don't eat your popcorn! The crunching is too loud, what if they think you are disturbing the crime scene!"
Kojima Genta stopped eating hesitantly, and Yoshida Ayumi didn't dare to continue slurping the Coke in her hand - the movie was so exciting that they forgot to eat, and only remembered that they had snacks in their hands halfway through. However, before they had taken a few bites, the crime happened.
Although the corpse was scary, the three students from Teitan Elementary School were well-informed and had seen even scarier corpses. At this moment, it seemed that they should prioritize dealing with Brother Jiang Xia rather than the immobile corpse.
Yoshida Ayumi looked at the Coke in her hand and was very reluctant: "Should we throw it away?"
"No." Military strategist Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya carefully avoided every trap set by bad kids. "It's shameful to waste food. This is also what bad kids would do."
The two friends were completely at a loss: "What should we do?"
Although Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was a little smarter than his two classmates, he was only a 7-year-old kid after all. After thinking for a moment, he hesitated and said, "How about we just eat quietly without making any noise?"
Genta Kojima and Ayumi Yoshida looked at each other and nodded. Like thieves, one of them gently put the popcorn into his mouth and chewed it slowly, while the other slowly opened the lid of the drink and took a sip of Coke silently.
Then they all looked towards Jiang Xia at the same time.
Jiang Xia was looking away. Noticing the gaze from this side, he turned around and found several children looking at him, so he gave these case radars a friendly smile.
The three children must have thought: It’s useful!
After Jiang Xia looked away, they continued to eat quietly and stealthily in this noiseless way.
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
Suddenly I realized that children also have a hard life.
My conscience hurts a little.
But it’s not a big problem - where does the conscience of organizational cadres come from?
Continue next time.
While thinking about it, Haibara Ai opened the lid, quietly took a sip of Coke, and washed it down with a few popcorns.
——It's not that I'm worried about being beaten by Jiang Xia. I just want to adapt to the local customs and integrate into this unlucky team of the Junior Detective Team.
…
Not long after, Inspector Megure arrived at the scene with two of his capable men.
Cordons were set up outside some shabby movie theaters. This happened to be a commercial street with many passers-by coming and going. When they saw a case, they immediately gathered around to watch the fun.
On the 2nd floor of the building opposite.
Maya Hashimoto picked up the coffee, took a sip as if nothing had happened, and pretended that she was watching the fun, quietly looking towards the theater through the floor-to-ceiling window.
While looking around, I prayed in my heart: "I am just an insignificant passerby. I hope this case will end smoothly, and then I can find a normal intermediary who is easy to talk to to trade with me."
Don't get him involved.
…
"The deceased, Masaji Zhang Tian, was 43 years old and the president of a nearby real estate company." Officer Takagi reported the situation to Inspector Megure skillfully.
Inspector Megure glanced at him and always felt that this kid looked more towards Jiang Xia when he was reading the information.
...But it's not a big problem. I'll have to tell Brother Jiang Xia about it sooner or later anyway.
Inspector Megure didn't take it seriously and turned to ask the director: "Did the deceased Mr. Zhang Tian often come to this cinema?"
The curator nodded. "He comes here almost every day recently. But he doesn't come to watch movies. He comes to monitor the progress of the demolition here."
After the arrogant Zhang Tian Zhengci died, the saleswoman dared to tell the truth. She immediately added: "In fact, the demolition here has not even started. This guy came to our cinema not for work, but just to make fun of us."
The projectionist was also outraged: "He was totally disrupting our business and driving all the customers away. He also always smoked in the theater, and he always sat in the last row - right above the projection window, the smoke made the screen blurry."
The salesperson became more and more angry as he spoke: "At first, our theater was not full, but there were still audiences for half the show. But since he set his sights on this place, the number of customers has been decreasing, and there are only single-digit customers per show."
Jiang Xia also came over and joined in the fun while listening to clues: "The image was blurry a few times today."
The curator nodded and said, "He was sitting in the back smoking today, too. I saw him."
Inspector Megure listened to the voice and gradually felt something was wrong: "I thought he hanged himself in your theater... But from what I heard, could it be that he was killed by someone else?"
"!"
Everyone in the theater was stunned, and then they stopped complaining about the deceased and changed their words: "It must be suicide! That guy offends people every day. Maybe he had a fight with someone and his mentality collapsed, so he wanted to use his life to drive away all our remaining guests!"
Inspector Megure: “…” What were you doing before? Why are you talking about it now?
No matter what, as a policeman, he has to investigate any suspicious points - and there is such a big brother like Jiang Xia standing next to him, so no matter whether it is suicide or homicide, he is not afraid at all.
Inspector Megure raised his slightly fat double chin, feeling proud that such an outstanding young man had emerged in Tokyo.
Of course, he couldn't forget to do the important things. He asked, "About when did the deceased hang himself? I heard that you witnessed the scene?"
The projectionist thought for a moment and said, "It was about the time when the elf was comforting Gomera that I saw a swaying shadow suddenly appear outside the projection window. Because the projection window was very small and it was dark outside, I couldn't see clearly what it was at first. Later, when I ran to the theater and the lights came on, I realized that someone had hung a body in the window."
The curator also nodded: "It was at that time that I saw a shadow suddenly appear on the screen, blocking the close-up of the elf."
Inspector Megure had forgotten a little about this series of movies, so he had to ask, "Can you find out what time it is?"
The male college student appeared from nowhere, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said confidently: "It's 12:44 noon."
