Chapter 250 I heard that all of you detectives have a gun?
Hijikata Yukisaburo deliberately handed out business cards in the elevator to attract the attention of the three people and prevent them from staring at the electronic screen and then discovering the marks he painted on it.
By the time the earthwork was finally completed, the elevator had already reached the sixth floor.
Of course, in the eyes of Mao Lilan and Conan, this is now the 5th floor.
Hijikata Yukisaburo was very relieved when he saw Jiang Xia, who had a calm expression and seemed to be unaware of his tricks.
He walked to the door of his house and rang the doorbell. His beautiful wife soon came out to greet him.
The two put on a harmonious couple show in front of the guests, and then Mrs. Hijikata left with a smile on her face.
Hijikata Yukisaburo asked Jiangxia and the others to wait in the living room.
There were no slippers in the room, only a shoe-cleaning mat. Mao Lilan looked at Hijikata Kozaburo in confusion, and the owner waved his hand: "This is where my friends and I often act. I often take action scenes. If you wear slippers or go barefoot, you can easily get hurt. You can wipe your shoes and come in directly."
This is a lie.
The main reason was that Hijikata Yukisaburo was thinking that later, these people would have to accompany him to perform the big drama of "saving his wife". If he let them leave the shoes behind, he would have to do too much preparation for killing in the tight time.
After settling the guests, Hijikata Yukisaburo left the living room, using the excuse of making tea for them.
Mao Lilan looked at the clean and tidy house and sat in a reserved posture. But when she thought that this was a celebrity's home, she couldn't help but look around with shining eyes.
Jiang Xia sat for a while, and seeing that Hijikata Yukisaburo still hadn't come back, he took out his business card holder and calmly sorted out the business cards inside.
He found all of these in the drawer of the detective agency.
Toru Amuro spends most of his time working part-time jobs everywhere. Occasionally, he would put on the skin of a "famous detective boss" to pretend to be cool and contact some clients with a purpose.
During this period, Toru Amuro will meet many people and naturally receive many business cards.
Business cards are equivalent to the other person's face, so it is not easy to throw them away directly. Therefore, after receiving business cards, Toru Amuro usually puts them in his bag first. When there are a lot of them, he will throw them all into the drawer of the detective agency.
Anyway, the boss didn't seem to have any use for these things, so after Jiang Xia asked him, he would regularly put the business cards in the drawer into his own business card holder.
When I have free time, I can use my spare time to screen and pick out the business cards with familiar names and keep them separately.
It feels like going back to my hometown and shopping in an old house full of clutter.
Make rational use of every inch of resources around you.
In this way, Jiang Xia actually managed to pick up two or three cases.
And there is no need to worry about this arousing the suspicion of Toru Amuro. Although this public security undercover has a good memory, he is definitely not like some hackers who can remember every little thing. Besides, it is normal for a detective to encounter a murder case, and normal people would not think about it at all.
Amid the rustling sound of paper rubbing against each other, Mao Lilan and Conan looked at the furnishings in the room, turned their heads silently, and looked at Jiang Xia who was concentrating on counting business cards.
The two high school students were quite emotional. To build up one's network, one must take business cards seriously. They didn't expect that someone like Jiang Xia, who didn't seem to be keen on socializing, would have to work hard on this kind of thing. Is this the world of working people...
Time passed quickly while counting the business cards.
About half an hour later, Hijikata Yukisaburo carried a tray, pushed the door open with his elbow, and walked into the living room.
"Sorry for the long wait." He placed the teapot and teacups on the tray on the table and poured tea for the guests awkwardly, apologizing, "My wife used to do these things. It took me a long time to find the teapot and tea leaves... Alas, household chores look simple, but when you do them, you realize that they are not that simple."
Jiang Xia glanced at his legs, said nothing, and took the teacup.
Hijikata Yukisaburo waited for a few seconds, and when he saw that Jiang Xia refused to respond, his movements became a little stiff.
Fortunately, the other person heard the key point of his words.
Mao Lilan felt that the air was too quiet, so she tried to find a topic to ease the atmosphere: "Is your wife out?"
"Yes." Hijikata Kosaburo looked at her with satisfaction. She was such a good kid. "She went to her friend's house."
He madly hinted that his wife was now at Okita's house, the neighbor who had cheated on him and whom he had just met in the elevator.
Mao Lilan did not immediately understand the meaning of "friend" and thought they were just ordinary friends.
After drinking the tea, Hijikata Kozaburo put down the teacup, calculated the time, and picked up a fake gun from the top of the TV.
The excuse he gave for inviting Jiang Xia over this time was that he was about to take on a detective drama and wanted to ask Jiang Xia for advice on how to play the role of a famous detective.
Hijikata Kozaburo handed the fake gun to Jiang Xia:
"This time I'm going to play a famous detective who is good at disguise. He's a guy who loves playing with guns, but I've never been exposed to these before... This is a replica gun that I bought at a high price. I'd like to ask for your guidance."
Jiang Xia stared at the gun faintly: "..."
Although he knew how to use it, it still reminded him of some unpleasant experiences. By the way, when will the organization give him the guns they owe him?
Mao Lilan stared at the gun in a daze: Jiang Xia is a serious detective, how could he touch such a thing? It's so dangerous... Speaking of which, is this actor's second-year syndrome a bit serious? In this day and age, some people actually think that detectives carry guns with them.
She noticed that Jiang Xia looked at the gun strangely, and thought that Jiang Xia was thinking the same thing as her, but just didn't know how to start the conversation in front of the client.
So he took the initiative to help out: "Well, actually, there are very few detectives with guns nowadays..."
Hijikata Yukisaburo was stunned: "Is that so? But in the script I received, the first scene is by this river, confronting the gangsters with guns."
When he mentioned "this river", he raised his hand and pointed to the large French window and glass door behind him, which led to the balcony.
Jiang Xia seemed to be somewhat interested in this topic. He asked, "Is the filming location the river here?"
Hijikata Yukisaburo nodded, pushed open the glass door, and made a gesture to invite them to come to the balcony.
…
The balcony is open and directly connected to the outside world. The breeze brings the scent of the river and the view is wide.
After everyone came to the balcony, Hijikata Kozaburo pointed to the river bank below: "Look, it's right there."
This apartment is built beside the river, and the river below is very wide.
The river surface, plus the opposite river bank, looking across from the balcony here, the house has become a small dot like a model.
Of course, the same is true when looking from the other side.
This greatly facilitated Hijikata Yukisaburo's ongoing murder plan.
——Just now, when Jiang Xia and the others were waiting in the living room, Hijikata Yukisaburo killed his wife next door and then secured the body in front of the door to the balcony next door.
Now, they are watching the scenery on the balcony, with the corpse silently accompanying them.
Next, as soon as the timer is activated, the body will fall backwards and fall onto the balcony.
In Hijikata Yukisaburo's script, the body was to be dumped out on the sixth floor, which was his own property. But after his careful preparation, Jiang Xia and others must have thought that the body was dumped out from Okita's house.
And because the body falling to the ground is a dynamic process, so according to normal thinking, Mrs. Hijikata was pushed out of the balcony by the murderer, who was still in the room at this time.
