Chapter 2164 2175 [Come back to work overtime]
Nishijo Naoya stared at President Saeki's back, still with that arrogant expression of having won. He snorted coldly, walked a few meters away from the president, and left.
When passing by Jiang Xia, as he pulled his hand out of his pocket, a photo happened to float out and fell to the ground.
Conan picked it up immediately and turned it over to take a look at it curiously.
Jiang Xia also looked and saw two familiar people in the photo - the "pretty boy" who made a lot of splashes had his arm around President Saeki's shoulders, and the two of them were walking out of a love hotel in a very intimate manner.
Jiang Xia finished reading it and poked Conan: "Go and give it back to him."
Conan was a little embarrassed to see this happen: "Why don't you go?"
Jiang Xia: "Kids don't know much. It's nothing if you find this kind of photo. But if I find it, someone might come to silence me."
Conan: “…” There aren’t so many cases of silencing people. You just don’t want to embarrass yourself.
But it was indeed him who picked up the photo, and Conan had been an elementary school student for so many years and had even been to the girls' bathroom, so he had developed a thick face.
He didn't make excuses anymore and ran forward with this not-so-innocent photo with an innocent look on his face: "Uncle, you dropped your stuff!"
Nishijo Naoya actually ignored him.
It wasn't until Conan caught up with him, jumped up and patted his arm that Nishijo Naoya came to his senses and looked down at him.
When he saw the photo in Conan's hand, Nishijo Naoya finally understood.
He took off the training earplugs he had just put on, took the photo, and flicked his finger at it frivolously: "Thanks, this is my cash cow, luckily I didn't lose it."
Conan: “…” What is this guy mumbling in front of the innocent first graders? He is really ruining the future of Tokyo.
I played with the machines for a while, ate some melons, and even went to see a movie. But nothing happened, and the ordinary day ended like this.
Judy didn't come to her senses until everyone had finished dinner, said goodbye, and went home.
Judy: "..." It's over?
So simple?
What about the murder?
After being confused, she was immediately filled with joy: although it was possible that it was just because "that person" didn't pay attention to her for the time being, there was another possibility - her random travel plan worked!
So when she contacted Akai Shuichi again, Judy's voice became cheerful: "I didn't expect it to be so effective! It really takes a lot of time for that guy to commit murder. If we really face him head-on one day, we just need to pay attention to the places we have to pass through, and we can effectively avoid his attacks."
On the other side of the phone, Akai Shuichi was silent for some reason.
Judy sensed something was wrong: "…What's wrong?"
Shuichi Akai: "Just now, when you were enjoying dessert in a nearby restaurant, a police car rushed to the club."
Judy: “…”
Akai Shuichi continued to watch: "The police have now cordoned off the scene. The commander is a middle-aged man in a brown suit. He should be the inspector from the Investigation Division 1."
Judy: “…”
Shuichi Akai: "Based on the attention that the inspector paid to Jiang Xia, you, a companion who spent a day with Jiang Xia, will definitely not escape the police's attention - pack up and prepare to go back."
The phone was hung up.
Shuichi Akai opened his notebook and flipped through several pages before he got to the part that was currently under investigation - none of the suspects in the previous two cases had been ruled out, and now a new series of suspects had been written down.
Akai Shuichi: "..." When was the last time he had so much work piled up? It was so long ago that he almost forgot.
…
Judy hung up the call and glanced at her phone blankly.
She, how come her random plan just started...
Before I could start the long mental chant, my phone suddenly vibrated.
Judy was distracted and almost threw the thing in her hand ten meters away. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and caught the phone back as soon as it slipped out of her hand.
When I turned it over and looked at the caller ID, the two big words "Jiangxia" popped up.
Judy answered the phone numbly.
"Teacher Judy?" Jiang Xia's voice came from the receiver, like a polite and respectful student. "It's like this, I just received a call from Inspector Megure, he said that there was a problem at the fitness club we went to during the day, and we need to go back - are you free now?"
Judy: “…” It’s so late, I don’t really want to be free.
But now that I'm in Tokyo, I have to adapt to the pace of life here and become a successful applicant.
Judy took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then she quickly sorted out her mental state and showed the optimistic spirit that a foreigner should have: "Oh, of course! I'll go back right away!"
…
As soon as Jiang Xia arrived at the door, he saw an acquaintance circling outside.
Seeing Jiang Xia, Inspector Megure's eyes lit up: "Brother Jiang Xia——!"
Much more enthusiastic than the previous two times.
Jiang Xia glanced at the hall and immediately understood: tomorrow is the opening ceremony of this fitness club, and President Saeki held a celebration banquet tonight. This female president has some weight in the local area, so there are also several big shots and reporters at the banquet.
Everything was ready, but before the opening ceremony began and a few photos of the celebration banquet were taken, a team member rushed in in fear, saying that a body had floated up in the diving pool.
This originally ordinary murder case suddenly became a murder case that might have some influence.
"We have fished the man out of the pool." Inspector Megure walked in with Jiang Xia, wiping the sweat from overtime work. "It has been confirmed that the deceased is the ace player of this club, Nishijo Naoya."
Not long after I walked out, there was chaos behind me again.
Inspector Megure was startled and looked back, only to see Jiang Xia's friends and the new English teacher who had also arrived.
"It's this foreign teacher again..." Inspector Megure touched his chin. Maybe because Judy's suspicion in the last swimming pool slitting case was too deeply rooted in people's minds, he always felt that this foreign teacher was a little suspicious when he saw him again.
However, this case seems to have little to do with Judy.
Inspector Megure temporarily put aside his prejudice and asked his subordinates to invite them in while continuing to lead Jiang Xia towards the swimming pool.
Soon, we arrived at the diving pool we had visited during the day.
Jiang Xia pushed the door open and walked in. When several policemen saw him, they immediately made way for him and watched him expectantly as he walked to the body.
A dark-skinned corpse fell to the ground beside the pool. Nishijo Naoya was wearing a swimming cap and was soaked in water. His arrogance disappeared along with his life. It was so quiet that Suzuki Sonoko had to take a few glances before recognizing him: "Isn't this the diving ace? How did he suddenly die?"
Judy was in mixed emotions: "..." During the day, she thought this person would die, but he was still alive. Now she thought everything was fine, but he died again...
