Chapter 2569 2581 [Bourbon: Did you hit Uzo? ] Ask for monthly ticket (`)
Although Inspector Megure was very busy with the two cases yesterday and just wanted to get off work early, it was not a good thing for an inspector to ask the detective for help before conducting an in-depth investigation.
The exhausted police inspector had no choice but to continue hinting while trying to tap into the potential of this unknown brother Amuro: "What do you think about this case?"
Amuro Toru raised an eyebrow: "..." What do I think? I think we should pack you all up and send you for additional training until you learn how to solve cases using methods other than "finding a detective".
Having said that, given his current status, he certainly can't say this.
After thinking about it, Toru Amuro had to stand from the perspective of an ordinary worker and provide the police with some clues: "Boss Haruyama seems to be a little anxious recently, and occasionally he will party with a few of his friends in the box. If you check his call records, you may find some clues."
After saying that, he looked at his watch and wanted to say goodbye.
However, a fat hand reached out from the side and stopped him.
"If you don't have anything important to do right now..." Inspector Megure made an invitation, "Why don't you come with us to meet his friends? You have seen their appearance, and you are the last employee to see the deceased, so you are an important witness in this case."
Toru Amuro: "..."
…
A group of people crossed the cordon and came to the street. Just as they were about to get into the car, they suddenly heard a squeak and a motorcycle stopped beside them.
Inspector Megure looked up in surprise and took a look at the guy who dared to brake suddenly next to the police car. The next moment, he exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Jiang Xia!"
"Inspector." Jiang Xia also seemed a little surprised. "A journalist friend of mine said that a brutal murder occurred here, so I came to take a look."
As he was talking, he was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "Boss Amuro is here too?"
"..." Toru Amuro nodded at him and sighed in his heart: If he had known this would happen, he should have contacted Jiang Xia earlier. In this way, perhaps Inspector Megure would not have insisted on asking him to go to the scene.
"In the final analysis, it's because these police officers are too lazy and always rely on others to solve the case."
Amuro Toru shook his head, summing up the lesson he learned this time in his heart: "It's a pity that this can't be corrected in a short time... Tsk, next time if I encounter something similar, I'd better find Jiang Xia as soon as possible. Anyway, even if I don't call him, he will always get the news and show up at the crime scene."
However, speaking of this... Jiang Xia's frequent encounters with cases are certainly related to his terrifying event-prone physique, but could there be some other factors involved?
Thinking of a guess he had made before, Amuro Toru turned his head and asked Jiang Xia in a low voice: "Do you still remember the curly-haired man on the bus yesterday?"
Jiang Xia nodded.
Amuro Toru: "Think carefully, apart from this time, has he appeared around you at other times? - For example, clients who come to you for commissions, or supermarket employees who help you redeem prizes when you win big prizes."
People's behavior often has inertia, especially some geniuses with distinct personalities.
There is no doubt that yesterday was a hunt for Akai Shuichi, and since Kurosawa appeared in front of Akai without any hesitation, it means that he may have similar preferences and habits - just like some murderers always like to return to the scene to savor people's reactions, Kurosawa may also like to appear next to his target, experiencing the feeling that the other party can clearly see him but knows nothing about him and can't do anything to him.
When Jiang Xia heard Amuro Toru's question, he wanted to shake his head, but at this moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something and paused.
Toru Amuro: "?!"
It was just a casual question, but who knew there was actually a clue? Amuro Toru was immediately alert: "Where and when?"
Jiang Xia sighed sheepishly, "One time, Conan and I were in a hurry to get on the road, and we accidentally bumped into a gentleman on a motorcycle - it should be Mr. Kurosawa."
Toru Amuro: "...?"
This situation was completely different from what he had expected: "the mastermind disguised as a smiling passerby."
Could it be that he was wrong before, and Wu Zuo targeted Jiang Xia not because he admired this "Sherlock Holmes" but because it was a small revenge after being hit?
"...No, Jiang Xia was riding a motorcycle with a child on the back. How fast could he be going? Wu... Kurosawa is a man with sharp observation skills. Even a high-speed sports car would probably take some effort to hit him, let alone a motorcycle."
"So compared to this, the more likely scenario is that... he is deliberately trying to scam me."
The more Toru Amuro thought about it, the more he felt that the matter was not simple. He frowned and said seriously, "Tell me in detail."
Jiang Xia thought about it carefully: "At that time, Conan and I were in a hurry to attend a social gathering. On the way, that gentleman suddenly appeared from the side of the street and was knocked out by me."
Amuro Toru: "..." Knocked away? Knocked so hard? ... Was it because he didn't do it right, or was it just an accidental bad luck?
While he was thinking, Jiang Xia said, "The briefcase in his hand also flew out. I was a little distracted at that time, and Conan helped him pick up the bag. The bag looked very heavy, and there seemed to be a heavy collision sound inside."
Amuro Toru tried to analyze every word he said: A heavy crash? A bomb or a gun? ... Or maybe a bomb disposal kit?
Jiang Xia: “We wanted to call emergency services for him, but he refused and only asked me to take him to a nearby hotel.
"The hotel seemed to be holding an event. I didn't want to delay his business, and seeing that he was very persistent, I sent him over. After that, I waited at the door for a while, but he didn't come out. I had something else to do at the time, so I left my contact information and left first."
At this point, the high school detective sighed: "But he never contacted me after that, and I almost forgot about it."
"You left your contact information?" Toru Amuro's face changed slightly at first, but then he realized that the problem didn't seem to be a big deal - Jiang Xia was a public figure, and there were many ways to contact him.
"Do you remember which hotel he went to? And the time."
After asking, Amuro Toru solemnly reminded: "If he looks for you, contact me first. That person..."
The words were already on the tip of his tongue, but in the end, Toru Amuro swallowed back the possible identity of Kurosawa.
——If that person is really Wu Zuo, then his observation and ability to guess people's hearts are beyond words. Once Jiang Xia knows his true identity, he will probably find out the clues immediately.
Now, although that guy occasionally showed some interest in Jiang Xia, he was basically still in a stage of harmonious waiting and watching. If I suddenly broke this balance... who knows what kind of trouble would happen then.
