Chapter 23 Jiang Xia is a good detective
Director Ochiai is not actually the owner of the exhibition hall.
The exhibition hall is the bosses' asset.
The old curator was just a worker who developed a personal relationship with his job, just like a security guard who fell in love with the gold in the vault - this was destined to be a heavy and fruitless love.
If we must regard "demolishing the exhibition hall and rebuilding a hotel" as one blame, then at least half of the blame should fall on the shoulders of the former owner who sold the exhibition hall.
However, Director Ochiai's anger was focused on Boss Manaka.
...At times like this, you can see how dangerous it is to have the poisonous tongue buff in this world.
…
While Jiang Xia was speaking, the old curator beside him, stroking his beard, began to tremble slightly - it was unclear whether he was angry or he was nervous because he was finally sure that Jiang Xia was treating him as the murderer.
After a moment of silence, Director Ochiai took a deep breath and planned to deny it stubbornly - just like those knights who fought to the last moment.
However, at this moment, the young man opposite suddenly raised his mobile phone and shook it at him.
On the low-pixel screen, the scene of the curator picking up a pen is being played.
This was a fatal flaw in the curator's plan.
Jiang Xia looked at the old curator's pale face and nodded secretly in his heart.
He quickly pulled the progress bar of the case, hoping to solve the case as quickly as possible and get rid of the ghost as soon as possible.
Jiang Xia said sternly, "Turn yourself in. Don't be so optimistic. The people have seen everything you have done and the methods you thought were covert."
“……” Director Ochiai stared at the screen on his mobile phone, and the last bit of confidence in his heart gradually disappeared.
...It hasn't even been ten minutes.
He had been planning this murder plan for a long time and rehearsing it for more than a week... and it was discovered just like that?!
…
At the same time, Conan, who was eavesdropping on the side, was also shocked.
Conan: "..." When a detective is reasoning, he gives evidence step by step and perfects the logic...
But when we got to Jiangxia, how come we could fast forward to the ending with just one click?
...Also, is the curator really the murderer?
Conan reviewed the known conditions, but for a moment he couldn't figure out how Jiang Xia came to this conclusion.
He wanted to ask, but the young man's self-esteem made it difficult for Conan to speak.
“…”
However, I am slightly torn between self-esteem and curiosity.
Conan suddenly realized: Now, he is just a first-grade kid.
...A primary school student asks a high school student a question, what's wrong?
After figuring it out, Conan slammed his palm with his little fist, and suddenly everything became clear.
He walked to Jiang Xia's feet with an obedient look on his face: "Um, Brother Jiang Xia, can I see your phone?"
Jiang Xia: “…”
...Kudo-san, why do you suddenly speak in this tone?
Jiang Xia looked at him with an indescribable look, pressed the replay button, and silently handed over the phone.
There is no one who is shady in this phone.
When contacting the organization, Jiang Xia used another mobile phone.
Black and white.
Don't worry, when Conan was halfway through reading, an email from Gin suddenly popped up on his phone.
…
The video finished quickly.
Conan stared at the black screen, rapidly integrating information in his mind.
After a moment, he touched his chin and suddenly realized:
"So that's how it is. The note with 'Kubota' written on it that the police found just now was probably written by the curator and placed there. The pen that the deceased picked up must have been a pen that couldn't write, so the 'death message' he left behind was actually written by the murderer in advance to frame him."
"..." The curator stared at Conan, and for a moment he showed an expression of doubt about his life.
——Forget about Jiang Xia, at least he is a high school student who looks very smart.
But now…
How could even an elementary school student see through his key plan so easily? !
Director Ochiai: “…”
His revenge, his art, his ingenious planning...
Is it just a farce of playing house?
…
Conan figured out the situation, returned the phone to Jiang Xia, and was about to say thank you again in a nice way.
But suddenly, I heard a vicissitudes of life and an extremely complex sigh coming from the side.
Jiang Xia and Conan were both startled and turned their heads in confusion.
Then he was surprised to find that in just a few seconds, the curator looked like he had aged ten years.
The curator looked at them deeply and shook his head dejectedly: "Thank you for helping me recognize myself."
Then he was stared at by two people “……?”
He walked towards Inspector Megure with haggard steps and turned himself in.
…
Inspector Megure originally thought that judging from the death message, the murderer must be an employee here - Kubota.
Unexpectedly, a curator suddenly appeared and surrendered himself.
…
The curator briefly described the murder. At the end, he said with a sad face: Since even a child can see through this method, the police will find out sooner or later... It is better to be decent and tell it yourself.
Inspector Megure felt guilty when the curator praised him and didn't dare to ask more questions.
He cleared his throat as if nothing had happened and glanced in the direction the curator had come from.
I saw Jiang Xia and a first-grade boy wearing glasses standing there.
Inspector Megure directly ruled out the elementary school student and misunderstood the "powerful kid" mentioned by the old director as Jiang Xia.
His eyes lit up slightly, and he thought secretly: It seems that after Brother Kudo, I have met another outstanding high school detective.
…
Several police officers quickly took the curator away.
The police also left one after another.
Jiang Xia looked at the police team and consciously followed Inspector Megure.
When the other party turned around to look at him in confusion, he took the initiative to say, "I'll go and take the statement."
Inspector Megure was stunned.
The detectives he had met before were all very brave and quick in solving cases, but they disappeared as soon as they started taking notes.
Having gotten used to that kind of relationship, when he met Jiang Xia again... Inspector Megure was inexplicably moved.
Brother Jiang Xia is very cooperative in his work.
I suggest detectives across the country learn from him!
…
Jiang Xia certainly doesn't like taking notes.
Just now, after collecting evidence at the scene, the body was put into a body bag and sent to the police station.
In other words, the leg-stealing god is now also in the police station...
Once this kind of thing gets rid of its obsession, it will no longer cling to your legs and can easily wander off to other places.
Jiang Xia was worried that if he went too late, he wouldn't be able to find it.
In this way, Jiang Xia successfully infiltrated the police overtime team.
…
As soon as I walked out of the exhibition hall, a dazzling flash of lights appeared in front of me.
——There was a group of reporters gathered at the door.
Murder cases in this world are very popular.
Jiang Xia unskillfully dealt with the media and a few passers-by who had taken the initiative to add to the drama.
Ten minutes later, he finally arrived at the police station as he wished.
…
While Jiang Xia was taking notes, the ghost baby looked around.
Then, at Jiang Xia's signal, it floated away stealthily, hiding all the way, and slipped towards the morgue.
Jiang Xia silently glanced at its back, wanting to remind it that there was no need to put on so much drama - even if the ghost baby put its hands on its hips and walked over arrogantly with gongs and drums beating, the police would not see it.
...Oh, maybe I shouldn't have given it so many shows before.
