Chapter 2063 2071 [Super Endurance]
Hearing Curacao sneeze, the nearby enthusiastic detective turned his eyes away from the crime scene and looked over: "Cold?"
Curacao looked at him suspiciously: "..." Were you plotting against me in your mind just now?
Jiang Xia was stared at by her, with an innocent yet puzzled look on his face.
Curacao suddenly came to his senses and stopped talking to him. Instead, he quietly moved away and went around to the other side of Mrs. Xun.
Then she tightened her coat and looked at the Xun family mansion in front of her.
This is the residence of "Lawyer Xun" who came to Jiang Xia to discuss his wife's infidelity at noon. Coincidentally, it's right next to Furukawa's house.
Just now, when they had solved the Furukawa family case and were about to return to the hotel tiredly, a mournful cry was heard from the mansion next door.
——Lawyer Xun returned home after work and found his wife murdered in the bathtub.
So the police who were about to get off work turned around and came back to work overtime, and those who were about to leave had to stop: after all, there was a famous detective among them who was enthusiastic about helping the police solve cases.
The police quickly cordoned off the mansion and began collecting evidence at the scene.
Amid the busy policemen walking around, Curacao stood numbly in the yard. Outside the yard, police cars were parked side by side, and the red and blue police lights flashed by, illuminating her face.
This color combination would have made Curacao highly alert and immediately plan an escape route in his mind.
But now, she found with despair that she had begun to get used to it: too many, too many policemen she had seen recently.
"No, cheer up. This must be Uzo's conspiracy." Curacao bit his tongue quietly, trying to clear his mind from the continuous attacks. "If my sensitivity to the police decreases, what if he uses this to trick me in the future?"
She had to be constantly on the lookout for the police, as she was doing now.
...But there are police officers around her all the time.
"It's just Wuzo's little trick. We can't just give in like that." Curacao took a few silent deep breaths. "Isn't it just endurance? I have plenty of it."
…
Jiang Xia glanced at the flickering aloe vera, and then at Hashimoto Maya who was leaning against the gate pretending to be dead, and realized that maybe because there were a little too many cases recently, the two of them were not used to this kind of work, and their murderous aura was not as strong as before. Even if they occasionally fluttered, they would quickly shrink back.
Jiang Xia sighed and suddenly thought of another person.
Jiang Xia: “…” Speaking of which, where is the boss?
We agreed to follow them nearby, but why didn't he show up this time? Could he have run away halfway? Damn it, the water monster.
After silently making a note of his unmotivated boss, Jiang Xia stopped wandering around and went into the house - after all, a qualified detective would never ignore a murder case that came before him.
...So do psychics.
…
Lawyer Xun had a good income and a big house, which made the police busy collecting evidence everywhere.
Jiang Xia stepped into the entrance hall, walked through a group of listless police officers, and entered the hall.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa. He was pressing his temple in pain and his expression was very sad.
Inspector Megure was sitting next to him, comforting him while trying to understand the general situation.
When Inspector Megure saw Jiang Xia coming in, his eyes lit up.
...But he was really tired from running around on site recently, so he could only show a brief burst of energy, like a light bulb with poor contact.
He stood up, sighed tiredly, and led Jiang Xia: "The place where the body was found is the bathroom, right over here."
If it were an ordinary crime scene, the detective would most likely rush directly to the body to confirm the situation.
However, this time, the detective and the police were present at the same time, so of course the police had to go in first to collect evidence.
At this time, Jiang Xia followed Inspector Megure into the bathroom and saw several black and white positioning signs next to the expensive bathtub. A young woman was lying in the bathtub.
The woman's hands and feet were tied, her mouth and nose were covered with a heavy cloth. She leaned against the wall of the bathtub, her legs curled up, and she lay on her back in the bathtub. It was obvious that she had been dead for some time, and her body was quite stiff.
Jiang Xia understood something: "Could this be Lawyer Xun's wife?"
Hashimoto Maya: “?!”
Just now, when Jiang Xia passed by the door, he pulled him in. When Hashimoto Maya heard this, he immediately remembered the young female voice he heard when he answered the phone for Lawyer Xun in the hotel.
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
...Is he dead after all?
He had previously guessed that the "Mrs. Xun" on the phone might be a recording left after death, but it turned out not to be. So he thought he was overthinking... but it turned out not to be!
Wait, if you count it this way, there was one case the day before yesterday, two cases yesterday, and three cases today...
As he counted, Hashimoto Maya silently got goosebumps all over his body: that horrible thing...well, that resourceful and astute boss, it was as if he had heard his speculation and forcibly used human lives to complete the number series.
Tomorrow won't be the fourth...
Maya Hashimoto slapped herself in the face, interrupting the terrible guess: Don’t think about it, what if Uzo realizes it again!
It is better to think more about world peace in your heart.
Inspector Megure was taking people to see the body when he heard a snapping sound behind him. He was startled and turned around in shock to find that the new detective assistant led by Jiang Xia was beating himself.
Inspector Megure: "…Are you okay?"
For a moment, Maya Hashimoto really wanted to nod her head vigorously and ask the police to save her from suffering.
But looking at this group of policemen who were fooled around and were diligently helping Wuzo to clean up the mess every day, he could only silently suppress all his thoughts: "It's okay, it's just that I was talking to this lady on the phone at noon, and she died in the blink of an eye. When I think about how unpredictable things are in the world, I can't help but regret that I couldn't help her."
Inspector Megure: “…” You actually slapped yourself for someone you haven’t even met once. You are such a nice person.
However, this new information made him startled: "Did you contact this lady at noon?"
Hashimoto Maya nodded numbly.
After clicking, I suddenly felt something was wrong: this sounded too much like a suspect.
Hashimoto Maya could only force herself to cheer up and quickly explained in detail: "Actually, it was Lawyer Xun who had something to ask Jiang Xia for, and I went to learn from him. It happened that when Lawyer Xun was in the bathroom, Mrs. Xun called, so she asked me to pick up the phone and say a few words for him."
Jiang Xia nodded to confirm his statement.
"I see." Inspector Megure didn't actually doubt Maya Hashimoto, but since this person insisted on explaining, he couldn't stop her.
He continued what he had just said, "The deceased was Xun Hemei, the wife of attorney Xun, she was 27 years old this year, and the cause of death was strangulation - oh, the person was tied up like a dumpling, this time it was definitely not suicide."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Haha, you talk as if you’ve committed suicide before.
