Chapter 2499 2511 [Pig Teammate] Ask for a monthly ticket ()
Soon, they were full and satisfied.
Amuro Toru put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Come on, I'll take you to see the professor."
He pushed the door open and walked out. Almost at the same time, another door in the same direction opened.
Toru Amuro was slightly startled, turned his head to look, and then frowned instinctively: Ireland actually walked out of the box on the other side.
…
Ireland heard the noise and went out on time, and not surprisingly "ran into" the two of them. He smiled an infuriating smile and said to Amuro Toru, "What a coincidence, you guys are eating here too?"
Bourbon didn't want to pay attention to him, but the high school student behind him nodded politely in response.
Ireland looked at Jiang Xia and tried to find out what the two were planning tonight: "Yamada and I are going to KTV later, why don't we go together?"
Vodka, who was hiding in the private room and didn't want to come out: "......?" Who wants to go to KTV with you! That kind of place with dim light, closed space and everyone can touch water, even I can think of 100 ways for you to die without Uzo!
However, Jiang Xia unexpectedly rejected the invitation. He said regretfully, "I have something else tonight. Boss Amuro wants me to meet the psychologist he found."
Amuro Toru nodded and said to Ireland unceremoniously: "We have something important to do, so we won't join you."
Vodka looked at him, then at Jiang Xia, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.
"Send a doctor to Jiang Xia? ... Did Bourbon really know his identity and deliberately offer bribes?"
Vodka felt that the situation around him was unfathomable. "By the way, what is Wu Zuo implying by bringing this up? - Does he also want the doctor I have?... Then why don't you come and get him quickly!"
"Anyway, this is a good thing for me right now." Vodka thought about it for a while and comforted himself, "With a new doctor, Uzo will relax his vigilance against me, so I can take the opportunity to complete the mission and return to Brother Gin - I hope the doctor chosen by Bourbon can be as durable as he is..."
"ah--!!"
A terrified scream echoed through the corridor.
Vodka: “…”
Toru Amuro: "..."
Ireland:"……"
"The sound came from over there." As he said that, the high school detective left his three colleagues behind and ran towards the sound dutifully.
Toru Amuro followed with his eyes twitching slightly, having a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.
And soon, this bad premonition came true.
——After passing through the quaint courtyard paved with stone slabs, the box on the other side appeared in front of everyone.
At the door of one of the private rooms, a receptionist in a kimono fell to the ground. She moved back in fear, shouting, "Someone, come quickly!"
The guests in various private rooms were all alarmed. Some continued to eat as if it was none of their business, while others came out out of curiosity.
Jiang Xia stopped beside the receptionist and picked up the collapsed person from the ground: "What happened?"
As he spoke, he looked into the room. He saw a wide square coffee table in the middle of the box, and on the coffee table, a man was lying on his back with his eyes open.
The deceased was wearing a suit, had a new haircut, looked handsome, and was very proud of his life. However, a knife was deeply stabbed in his heart, bringing an end to his life as a young associate professor.
"Kane...Kaneda?!" Professor Iwama and Ryuichi Arai also came to the door curiously. They looked into the room and exclaimed in surprise - Kamezo Kaneda, who came with them, had died so suddenly.
The two wanted to rush in to check the situation, but Jiang Xia raised his hand to stop them. The detective sighed: "Let's call the police first, and call an ambulance by the way - although it seems that there is little hope, but what if?"
…
It wasn't long before the police arrived.
Ireland looked numbly at the circle of police cars outside the store, then turned to look at Vodka who had a bitter face, and whispered: "I thought you would try to slip away before the police arrived."
Vodka rolled his eyes at him and didn't want to talk: If you hadn't been idle and followed Jiang Xia, would we be in this situation?
...What a bad teammate. After comparing himself to his elder brother, he really misses him more and more.
Vodka's loyalty quietly increases by +1, +1, +1.
The diligent police were carefully investigating the scene.
Of course, it was customary for a detective to be mixed in with the police.
Jiang Xia walked around the room twice, then said to Inspector Megure, whose eyes followed his movements eagerly, "There were no signs of a struggle at the scene. Judging from the direction the deceased fell, someone must have appeared from the window, and the deceased rushed forward, and was stabbed in the heart."
"From the window?" Inspector Megure walked over after hearing that. He leaned over and looked out, a little surprised, "Why is there a river outside the window?"
The receptionist explained in a low voice: "This is the characteristic of our Liushui Pavilion - all food delivery services are carried out by food delivery boats floating on the water, so as not to disturb the guests and to create a mood similar to the flowing wine cups on winding water."
Vodka nodded as he listened: Don't go to restaurants that are too automated, and don't go to restaurants that are too artistic. If you have to eat out in the future, choose the kind of ordinary hotel that is so ordinary that Uzo will lose interest at a glance.
Inspector Megure glanced at him: I didn't expect that Brother Yamada is so eager to learn... As long as he continues to stay with Jiang Xia, maybe he can really become a detective who can stand on his own in the future?
An old police inspector was somewhat relieved. However, at present, compared with Mr. Yamada who is still growing up, the case in front of him is obviously more worthy of attention.
Inspector Megure carefully studied the stream outside the window and scratched his hat in a panic. "This artificial stream is quite wide, and there are no protrusions on the wall to provide leverage. If the murderer sneaked in from the water, the ground should have been wet when he climbed over the window...but the tatami by the window is very dry."
"So the murderer must have used some unconventional methods when sneaking in." Jiang Xia looked at Officer Gao Mu next to him, "Let's take a look at the existing information first."
Officer Takagi responded skillfully, and thankfully said, "Thanks to the presence of someone familiar with the deceased, we were able to identify him so quickly - the deceased, Kamezo Kaneda, was 29 years old and an associate professor at the Department of Psychology at Jomon University.
"The time of death was roughly around 7:50 p.m. He died from a sharp weapon piercing his heart. Judging from the traces at the scene, he should have died on the spot.
"During this period, all the staff of Liushui Pavilion have alibis, which means that the murderer should be an external intruder or hiding among the guests."
As he spoke, Officer Takagi remembered something and gestured to Jiang Xia to see the two people behind him: "Oh, these two are the companions who came with the deceased - Professor Iwama and Lecturer Arai."
Toru Amuro looked at Professor Iwama: "..." For some reason, he felt a bad premonition growing.
