Chapter 2293 2305 [Purchase Channel]
Unlike Vodka, who is researching ouzo, others are researching serious things.
Officer Gao Mu continued to read the interview report he had collected: "Mrs. Haitang usually has trouble sleeping and often needs to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep. In contrast, Mr. Haitang is very opposed to her behavior. He believes that this is bad for the body and that she should eat as little as possible and only eat when necessary."
Suzuki Sonoko wiped her mouth and was a little confused: "But I remember there were no sleeping pills in the study, but there was a bottle next to Mr. Haitang - so this medicine was used by Mrs. Haitang to poison Mr. Haitang? But if he doesn't take it himself, others can't force it into his mouth..."
Jiang Xia nodded: "There is also a water cup that fell next to the female assistant's body. It should be Mrs. Haitang's things."
From this perspective, it seems that everything next to the bodies is not where they should be, which makes this murder case of three people unprecedentedly complicated.
Officer Gao Mu tried to sort out the clues and characters in the murder case in his mind, and couldn't help but feel dizzy: "…" This is too messy! What's going on with this family?
At this time, Jiang Xia saw that he was silent, so he turned his head and looked at him: "What else was written in the interview report?"
"Nothing else seems to be related to the murder case. It only contains some of the female writer's hobbies." Although he said so, seeing Jiang Xia asking, Officer Gao Mu continued to read Mrs. Haitang's confession in the interview transcript:
"'I like to take a long bath, which can inspire me with many new ideas. Of course, what I like more is to drink a can of cold beer after taking a bath. The coolness of the cold beer flowing down my throat is intoxicating. But unfortunately, my doctor forbids this behavior. He said that beer will cause serious harm to my health, so I have to give up this little hobby.'"
Conan was originally concentrating on acting like a kid, but when he heard this he couldn't help but speak out: "The doctor forbade her to drink? But I remember there were two empty beer cans in the trash can next to her desk."
Suzuki Sonoko thought it was normal: "Adults' abstention from alcohol is like our words 'we must study hard in the future' after taking an exam. It is totally untrustworthy. She just made up a few nonsense words and didn't follow them seriously at all."
"No, she seems to be really following it."
Seeing the excitement here, Sato Miwako also came over. She took the magazine and flipped through it:
"Look, it says here - 'Ms. Haitang's assistant said that the female writer was a very serious person. After being forbidden to drink beer by her doctor, she bought a beautiful blue water bottle with a large sum of money and drank water from it instead of beer every day.'"
As she spoke, Sato Miwako couldn't help but sigh: "The assistant lady who was being interviewed also died in the living room..." Although she has experienced many murders, it is still sad to see that someone who was talking so eloquently in a magazine not long ago suddenly died on the spot.
As we were chatting, suddenly, a car drove over from afar and stopped hesitantly at the gate of the yard.
The car door was pushed open, and a middle-aged office worker in a suit and tie walked down hesitantly.
He looked at the police car and then at the policemen busy coming in and out. Before he could figure out what was going on here, he was surrounded by a group of people.
Inspector Megure looked at the man who suddenly appeared with shining eyes: "Who are you?"
"I am Akio Toda, the editor of the monthly magazine Mystery Heaven."
Although Editor Toda has seen many murders in mystery novels, he has not encountered many murders himself.
Seeing this situation suddenly, he couldn't help but feel scared: "Um...what on earth happened here?" He had seen more policemen in his life than the one in front of him.
Inspector Megure did not answer, but just pushed up the brim of his hat and looked at him carefully, trying to use his sharp eyes to identify whether this man was the murderer who returned to the scene after committing the crime.
After a few seconds, Inspector Megure gave up: If he had this ability, would he have so many younger brothers now?
Soon, the defeated police chief began to solve the problem in his own way. He waved towards the courtyard and called for help: "Brother Jiang Xia, come and take a look."
"Jiang Xia?" Upon hearing this, the person who reacted the fastest was not Jiang Xia who was chatting with a group of people, but the editor in front of him.
Editor Toda's eyes lit up, and he followed Inspector Megure's line of sight. The next moment, he showed surprise: "Jiang Xia...it's really that Jiang Xia!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his men rushed over.
Inspector Megure was left hanging: "?"
…
Jiang Xia had just stood up when a person suddenly appeared in front of him.
Vodka, who was standing next to him, was startled and quietly moved away, worried that what happened here would affect him.
However, the wonderful plot he expected, "Uzo's car overturned and was killed by the victim", did not appear.
The wind-like office worker rushed to Jiang Xia, stretched out one hand, handed over a business card with the other, and said with a warm smile: "I've heard a lot about you! I'm the editor of "Mystery Heaven". Do you have any plans to write a novel or authorize an adaptation?"
Jiang Xia came to his senses and skillfully returned him a business card.
Then he thought carefully about the question raised by the editor and replied: "I don't have time to write a book, but I am very interested in the writer industry - if you know an author who is interested in cooperation, you can introduce them to me."
Vodka: “…” Are you starting to restock again?
He looked at Jiang Xia, then at the editor opposite him who was nodding his head repeatedly with a look of surprise, and couldn't help but sympathize in his heart: "..." Laugh, you still have time to laugh? Just after a capable person died, you met Wu Zuo again. If this continues, you will soon not receive any manuscripts!
But on the bright side, it wouldn't be difficult for him to save his life before the editor finished introducing the resources he had... Tsk, I was actually a little envious when I thought about it this way.
Vodka felt vaguely inspired. He stroked his chin and began to think quietly.
…
Editor Toda was so surprised that he got into work mode: meeting Jiang Xia was just one of the surprises, the bigger surprise was that Jiang Xia was so easy to talk to - you know, some of his colleagues had long wanted to invite the detective to work with them, but unfortunately, the detectives seemed to have no interest in writing, and the editors were repeatedly rejected, and finally gradually lost interest in these detectives.
Editor Toda originally introduced himself with the idea of "since I'm here, I've met everyone", but unexpectedly he received very good feedback.
He perked up and was about to talk in detail.
However, at this moment, someone next to him uttered two majestic "cough cough!" sounds, with a hint of warning and dissatisfaction in the voice.
