Chapter 2167 Added to the leader [Don't ask for the ten strings]
Jiang Xia looked at the murderer's pale face and continued, "So the murderer is also an athlete who is good at diving."
Everyone was startled and looked at the pretty boy next to President Saeki.
The pretty boy waved his hands hastily: "It's not me, I, I'm not good at diving at all!"
He never felt lucky that he was such a professional loser.
The detective nodded at his grateful look.
Then Jiang Xia looked at the athlete with the earrings: "In addition to the deceased and Mr. Naruse, there is actually another diving athlete here - I remember that Mr. Kijima only switched to swimming recently. In the past, you specialized in diving, and your skills were even better than the deceased."
Kijima Hisahisa's face turned grim. "It's too arbitrary to infer the murderer based solely on his diving skills. Besides, Naruse just made a big splash, but his aerial moves were actually pretty good. Why do you rule him out so easily?"
"?!" The pretty boy argued, "Who said my aerial moves were good? Don't slander me!"
Onlookers: “…”
Jiang Xia waited until they had enough of the argument before speaking under the watchful eyes of Inspector Megure: "In addition to the testimony of 'turning off the lights and jumping into the water', the painter actually provided us with an important clue - that is the draft he brought with him."
Jiang Xia waved to Sato Miwako.
Officer Sato understood and unfolded the painting next to him. While showing it to everyone, he also looked at it curiously, but didn't find anything wrong.
Jiang Xia pointed at the diving figure in the painting. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and found a cross drawn on the figure's earlobe.
Jiang Xia: "This shape should indicate a flash. If the artist were to complete this sketch, the portrait would probably show a man wearing earrings and diving confidently."
Earrings...
Everyone turned around to look at Hisahisa Kijima, their eyes falling precisely on his earlobe - Hisahisa Kijima was indeed wearing a pair of shiny earrings, and among all the athletes in the entire stadium, he was the only one wearing such jewelry.
Jiang Xia looked at his expression as if struck by lightning, and the murderous aura that was newly emerging from him towards the painter, and he added fuel to the fire leisurely: "People are not lifeless objects. If you want to turn people into props, you must be prepared to be retaliated against."
This sentence is righteous and powerful.
The reporters were cheered up and started taking pictures of Jiang Xia. They decided to copy this sentence into their manuscript later - it would save them dozens of words.
Judy was standing nearby, feeling hit hard by these words: “…” Yes, there is no “prop” more difficult to control than humans, so how did that guy do it?
Could it be that I was just overthinking, and the murders I encountered were really just coincidences?
……wrong!
Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences. Rather than hoping that there is no such terrible opponent in the world, it is better to seize every opportunity to collect information about the opponent and face difficulties head-on.
and……
Judy looked at the sharp detective in front of her and suddenly had an idea: she and Shuichi Akai had already discovered the "coincidences" behind these murders, so could Jiang Xia, who was at the center of the vortex, have actually noticed it a long time ago?
Judging from previous cases, Jiang Xia is the type of person who won't speak until he has found all the causes and consequences and all the clues. Precisely because the true identity of that person has not been found out yet, he didn't say it directly, but just used these cases to implicitly declare war on that thing?
Judy: “…” Thinking of this, this ordinary murder case suddenly seemed to become exciting.
The police were already used to the reporters' sudden excitement - every time a case was about to end, these reporters would be particularly active. I guess they didn't say it out loud, but they were eager to get off work.
As fellow wanderers, the police became more lenient towards the reporters. They politely waited for the filming to finish, and then expertly arranged the follow-up.
Of course, it is not possible to simply convict someone based on just that painting and a series of reasoning.
However, knowing who the murderer was and how he committed the crime made the investigation much easier. Soon, the police searched the lockers of the deceased and Kijima Hisahisa and found a handkerchief stained with ether inside. Elsewhere, they found the blunt object that Kijima Hisahisa had used to hit the deceased on the forehead.
Seeing these things, Kido Hisahisa's legs finally went weak and he fell to his knees.
The pretty boy won the battle, but he was a little bit unbelievable. He looked at his powerful colleague and said, "Even if that guy took away your rights as a representative this time, you can still wait for the next chance. Why do you have to kill someone?"
He had had a few arguments with Kimura before. If he had known that this guy had such a bad temper... Could it be that he had been walking back and forth on the line of death without realizing it?
Unexpectedly, when Kijima heard this, he sneered: "Next chance? As long as that guy is alive, I will never have a next chance!
“He didn’t take the representative qualification from me based on his own strength at all - I usually have a hobby of drag racing. Half a year ago, I was driving with my girlfriend on the street and unfortunately we had an accident, which resulted in my girlfriend being seriously injured.
"I was indeed speeding at that time, but even my girlfriend didn't care about it. But Xijo got the news from somewhere. He asked me to withdraw from the competition, otherwise he would tell the organizers and judges about my violation.
"I had no choice but to withdraw from the competition. But the guy kept pushing me further. Seeing that I was really being controlled by this, he asked me to quit this industry forever. So I was forced to switch to swimming like a stray dog.
"I compromised at the time, but the more I thought about it afterwards, the angrier I got. It's true that as an athlete I shouldn't have violated the law by speeding, but was it not wrong for Nishijo to threaten me? It's not fair that such a despicable guy could be a representative and shine at the diving conference!
"I have paid the price for my mistake and left the diving industry. It is time for that guy to be punished. If no one punishes him, I will have to do it myself!"
…
The unwilling speed racing gang was taken into a police car and quickly left.
However, after solving the case this time, the atmosphere among the high school students was not relaxed.
Jiang Xia pretended to be blind for a while under the hesitant gazes of his classmates, but finally he couldn't pretend anymore.
After the reporter left, he said tactfully: "Actually, I don't drive fast that much." Now there are more people driving fast.
The three students looked like they had a lot to say. But when they remembered that there was a new friend, Judy, they kept silent again, vowing to keep the famous detective's harmless hobby a secret.
