Chapter 249 The way to confuse Jiang Xia
The other side.
Jiang Xia could at least guess some of what Hijikata Yukisaburo was thinking about, although he didn't have a complete understanding of it.
To be honest, he was a little worried before, fearing that this man was too cautious and that the last cheating incident would not scare him.
Fortunately, perhaps there are not many detectives in this world who are famous but not capable, so Hijikata Yukisaburo did not have many options, and in the end, he still got involved in this incident.
After Jiang Xia replied to the text message, he put down his phone and remembered the advice "Don't bring strange people into the mix."
He then silently looked at Mao Lilan, who happened to be charging her skateboard at the doctor's house, and who happened to come to pick Conan up.
...Such a polite and sensible elementary school student, such a weak and lovely high school girl, they can't be considered strange people, right?
Moreover, Mao Lilan seems to be an omnivorous fan. She wants to chase after anyone who is a little famous and ask for an autograph. She probably won't refuse such an invitation.
…
The next day, Hijikata Yukisaburo went to a cafe near his home and found Jiangxia.
Then he was slightly surprised to find that next to Jiang Xia there was a pretty girl of the same age as him, and a little boy.
...for some reason it gives people the feeling of having to bring the whole family along.
Hijikata Yukisaburo was still secretly blaming Jiang Xia for not listening to his advice and bringing people here casually.
But when he looked at the high school girl and saw her sparkling admiring eyes, he silently swallowed his complaints.
...After all, they were still a group of kids, unable to resist the temptation of meeting a veteran actor in person. Moreover, if Jiang Xia was really a fool, then perhaps he didn't understand the hint in his invitation text message, but simply thought that he was here to give him detective guidance, so he couldn't help but brag to his classmates that he was invited by a star, and then showed off by bringing his classmates here.
As an actor who is on the road to becoming outdated, Hijikata Yukisaburo actually doesn't mind this kind of behavior and even feels a little happy about it.
His expression relaxed and he thought, after the case is over, I will give each of these students an autographed photo.
After briefly introducing himself, Hijikata Kozaburo stood up with a amiable look on his face and adjusted his sunglasses: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's come to my house."
Jiang Xia nodded and stood up.
Mao Lilan excitedly touched the autograph book in her bag and followed happily.
Conan finished the coffee in the cup, put it down, and was also a little curious - it was said that Hijikata Yukisaburo invited Jiang Xia over to teach him some detective skills so that he could show more realistic reactions when filming detective dramas in the future.
Conan was wondering what Jiang Xia could teach in this regard. After all, judging from the length of time, Jiang Xia was only a very inexperienced detective and should not have much experience... Could he teach those kinds of high-speed crime-solving techniques?
In that case, he also wanted to learn... Conan touched the camera in his bag - in case he couldn't learn it on the spot, he would record it and figure it out slowly.
…
Hijikata Yukisaburo's home is in a high-end apartment.
The apartment faces the river and has a pleasant view.
In order to avoid possible reporters, Hijikata Yukisaburo led them into the apartment through the back door and pressed the elevator.
The elevator quickly arrived at the first floor. When the door opened, a man came out - a handsome young man with a headscarf and dyed blond hair.
Jiang Xia had never seen this person before, but based on the spoilers and his clothing, he vaguely guessed his identity.
Mao Lilan knew him. She lowered her voice and whispered excitedly to Jiang Xia: "It's Okita Ichi! That very popular actor, he actually lives here too!"
Hijikata Yukisaburo unexpectedly met this handsome guy who cheated on him, and his face twisted.
But as a veteran actor, he quickly adjusted his attitude and greeted in a friendly manner: "Go out."
"Well, I'm going to the convenience store." Okita Ichi had no intention of acting in front of the guests. He knew exactly what Hijikata Yukisaburo wanted to ask, so he said directly, "Don't think too much, I'll be back at the agreed time."
When Jiang Xia heard this, he turned away considerately and pretended not to be interested.
He was finally invited by Hijikata Yukisaburo. Before getting the things he wanted to pick up, he decided to avoid any topics that might arouse Hijikata's vigilance.
Mao Lilan didn't have so many concerns and asked puzzledly, "Agreed time?" But didn't Mr. Hijikata have an appointment with Jiang Xia this afternoon?
"Haha, yeah." Hijikata Yukisaburo was a little embarrassed. After Okita left, he explained, "It's just... I plan to discuss the matter between him and my wife with him. It's not okay for two neighbors to say a few words to each other and be written by those reporters as cheating. After all, we have been neighbors for so many years. If this matter is handed over to the company, I always feel that it will hurt our feelings, so I want to discuss it privately first. The time we agreed to is in the evening, so that I can ask Jiang Xia for detective skills."
Only then did Mao Lilan realize that "Mrs. Hijikata was suspected of having an affair with Okita Hajime". She realized that she had asked a not very good question, smiled apologetically, and then kept silent.
Several people entered the elevator silently.
Silence is the apartment tonight. Green always makes people feel peaceful.
Hijikata Yukisaburo wanted to remain silent, but he couldn't.
He could only muster up his strength, use his body to block the elevator key, press the button, then turn around and distribute business cards to several people.
Although he didn't take Jiang Xia seriously, this was after all a strategy he had carefully planned, so he still had to make sufficient preparations.
While Hijikata Yukisaburo was lowering his head, Jiang Xia took a look at the electronic screen showing the floor.
The electronic screen is as big as two palms, with a black bottom and seven bars, three horizontal and four vertical, on it, which can be used to display numbers 0-9.
At this time, the vertical bar in the lower left corner was temporarily darkened by Hijikata Yukisaburo with a black pen, blending it into the background.
In this way, when the electronic screen wants to display "6", humans can only read the number "5".
Hijikata Yukisaburo is a wealthy man, and both rooms on the sixth floor of this apartment building belong to him.
501 is also his.
502, which is surrounded by three houses, is the home of Okita Hajime whom we just met.
A person with many houses can do whatever he wants. Hijikata Yukisaburo's murder plan is related to his three houses.
——He had arranged his 601 and 501 into exactly the same layout in advance.
When he entered the elevator just now, Hijikata Yukisaburo actually pressed the elevator button for the sixth floor.
But he had tampered with the elevator and house number in advance, hoping that this way would make Jiang Xia and others think that a group of people had come to 501.
After deceiving the guests, Hijikata Yukisaburo would strangle his wife to death and use a timing device to make her fall backwards from the balcony of Room 602 at a specific time.
Next, as long as he calculated the time when his wife's body would fall, and asked Jiang Xia to watch the scenery, the guests would be able to witness the scene of the body falling.
In this way, in the eyes of the confused guests, the next door was not 602 owned by Hijikata Yukisaburo, but 502 where Okita lived. In full view of the public, the body was dumped out of Okita's house, and the evidence was irrefutable, which was equivalent to catching him on the spot.
