Chapter 251 Jiang Xia, please come down and ask for monthly votes ()
In Hijikata's perfect scenario, since Jiang Xia was some distance away from the balcony next door, it was impossible to tell from a distance whether Mrs. Hijikata was dead or fainted. So at that time, what they should do was to rush to the "front door of Okita's house" next door and smash the door to make Okita open it.
Of course, in reality, there was no living person in the house opposite, so the door was destined to be impossible to knock open.
At this time, Hijikata Yukisaburo could take the opportunity to send others away, and guard the door himself to prevent the "assaulter" from escaping.
The method to send Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan away was simple - one of them went to the apartment manager to ask for the spare key of the Okita family, and the other went to the nearby police station to call the police. There was a police station next to the Hijikata family's house. If you didn't remember the police station's independent phone number, it would be faster to run over and ask for help than calling 110, and you could also explain the situation on the way.
As for the extra child...when a child encounters danger, he will subconsciously follow the acquaintances. In any case, he will not stay with him to guard the door of "Okita's house".
According to the plan, once the three people who were in the way had left, Hijikata Kozaburo would use a rope to lower the body from his balcony to Okita's balcony. Then he would wipe off the ink in the elevator, replace the house number with a normal one, and move himself from the sixth floor to the fifth floor, guarding the door of Okita's house, thus completing this great move.
Hijikata Yukisaburo sorted out his script in his mind and felt that it was almost done.
The three students next to him were still looking at the scenery by the river.
Hijikata Yukisaburo glanced at them and secretly pressed the button in his hand.
In the room of "Okita"'s house next door, the phone suddenly rang.
Mao Lilan vaguely heard the sound, and she reminded Hijikata Kozaburo: "The phone is ringing."
Hijikata Kozaburo smiled and waved his hand: "It's not my home number, it should be Okita's. He lives next door."
"Is that so!" Mao Lilan's eyes lit up again, and she looked towards the next door with a little excitement - this place looked ordinary, but it turned out to be a celebrity's balcony!
Just after watching for a second, a corpse fell out of the house and fell on the balcony.
Mao Lilan smiled: "..."
Mao Lilan's smile disappeared: "…………"
Mao Lilan took out her cell phone and pressed "1": "!!!"
At the same time, Hijikata Yukisaburo also performed vigorously, shouting his wife's name: "Nagami!"
At the same time, in order to make it more realistic, he suddenly raised his legs and stepped onto the balcony railing, pretending to climb to the next door.
Mao Lilan was startled and stopped calling the police. She pulled the man back and said, "Don't be impulsive. This is the fifth floor!"
"How can I not be impulsive?! She's my wife!" Hijikata Yukisaburo grabbed the railing and roared anxiously, "Nagami! What's wrong with you, you..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
——Beside me, there was a dull sound from the railing.
Hijikata Yukisaburo turned his head in confusion and saw a black leather boot stepping on it.
He suddenly remembered something, his head buzzed, he raised his head abruptly, looked up along his legs, and saw Jiang Xia standing on the railing.
Jiang Xia bent his back slightly and stared at the corpse on the balcony opposite.
Hijikata Kozaburo: "..."
And so on.
...It can't be what he thinks.
…This is the sixth floor!!
Hijikata Yukisaburo's expression suddenly changed, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Xia's ankle.
However, before closing his palms, Jiang Xia kicked off the edge of the balcony, jumped lightly onto the railing of the balcony opposite, and then landed steadily.
As Hijikata Yukisaburo's heart stopped beating, he walked to the body, squatted down and checked the body's pulse and breath.
Then he stood up again and sighed softly: "He has been dead for a while. Call the police."
Hijikata Kozaburou stared at him and felt as if his brain had stopped functioning.
...The script should have been that after he was grabbed, he immediately led the guests to rush to the door of "Okita"'s house and started pounding on it. But now...
...How did things turn out like this?
His plan, his layout...
At this moment, the balcony door diagonally below was opened with a crash.
Okita was wearing casual clothes. He took off the headphones around his neck and looked towards the balcony of Hijikata Yukisaburo's house in confusion.
He saw three people gathered by the railing and asked, "I thought I heard someone shouting just now? What happened?"
Conan and Mao Lilan looked at him in shock, and a question mark seemed to slowly rise above their heads.
Mao Lilan was very confused and said, "Mr. Okita? Don't you live in 502, opposite Mr. Hijikata's house? Why did you go to the fourth floor?"
"Huh?" Okita was even more confused than her. He patted the railing of his house and said, "What fourth floor? Isn't this 502?"
…
As Conan leaned his head out thoughtfully and began to count the floors one by one, Hijikata Kozaburo's eyes gradually went dark and he felt like the world was leaving him.
No, it shouldn't be like this.
His exquisite techniques, his rehearsal and decoration several times a month, his carefully selected stupid detectives...
Mao Lilan looked at Okita blankly, then at Hijikata, still confused. Finally, she had to look at Jiang Xia on the balcony opposite.
Jiang Xia also looked thoughtful and nodded slightly at her.
Although Mao Lilan still had no idea of the situation, the action steps engraved in her DNA allowed her to immediately take out her cell phone, dial 110 at the speed of light, and make the call the moment she met Jiang Xia's eyes.
Hijikata Yukisaburo has basically lost his ability to think now, his face is blank, and he only has a little survival instinct left.
He heard a short sound from the dial key and vaguely realized that Mao Lilan was calling the police, so he reached out to her and tried to take her cell phone.
Although Maori Lan was relatively naive, she had experienced so many murders and witnessed so many deductions at the scene. The series of events just now made her feel that something was wrong.
In particular, she remembered that just now, when Jiang Xia wanted to jump to the other side, Hijikata Yukisaburo actually reached out and grabbed Jiang Xia's leg.
Although this can also be roughly explained as Hijikata Yukisaburo was worried about the safety of the guests jumping around on the fifth floor and wanted to stop them.
But in that situation, it would be obviously more dangerous to just reach out and pull someone. If he destroyed Jiang Xia's balance, Jiang Xia might just fall down.
——In short, Mao Lilan now feels that there is something wrong with Hijikata Yukisaburo, and she is secretly wary of him.
At this moment, seeing Hijikata Yukisaburo suddenly reaching out his hand towards her, as if to snatch the phone, she screamed in fear and kicked away.
Hijikata Yukisaburo flew out in response and hit the railing with a bang, and the two floors seemed to shake.
Jiang Xia and Chongtian, who was concentrating on eating watermelons downstairs, were startled. They looked up and saw a faint bulge on the railing.
Okita stared at the scene in a daze.
After a moment, he stopped eating the melon, left the balcony, and quietly retreated to the safety of his own living room.
