Chapter 2675 2687 [Three Good Allies] Ask for monthly votes ()
This is also the question in other people's minds.
Everyone looked carefully at the skinny office worker, and then looked seriously at Suzuki Sonoko. However, no matter how they compared them, from their identities to their professions, from their appearances to their personalities...these two people really didn't look alike at all.
Finally, it was Kyouta Honma who spoke up. He snorted coldly, his voice filled with hatred without anyone noticing: "Yes, I have wanted to kill him for a long time - that bastard kidnapper. As long as he is alive, I will not be able to rest in peace!"
Inspector Megure's ears twitched, and he successfully grasped the key words: "Kidnapper?"
"Yes, he kidnapped my son a year ago. Later, because I called the police, he killed him..."
Kyouta Honma suddenly looked at him: "Inspector, this is not the first time we have met - do you still remember the kidnapping case that happened in Okuho Town a year ago?"
"Kidnapping case, kidnapping case..." Inspector Megure was sweating and thinking hard, and finally he remembered, "Right! I remember there was indeed a case at that time. We had obviously caught the criminal that time, but in the end we couldn't prosecute because of insufficient evidence."
Kyota Honma smiled with a complicated expression: "Yes, the evidence is insufficient because you didn't find the murder weapon at the time."
"No murder weapon was found..." Inspector Megure suddenly realized something and blurted out, "Could it be that person..."
"That's right, that bastard used the same method I used today - or rather, I finally understood his method of committing the crime at that time." Kyota Honma stood in front of the vending machine, looking at Jiang Xia's reflection through the window, and he smiled bitterly, "If there was a detective nearby at that time, what happened today might not have happened at all."
Amidst the sighs, Kyota Honma was taken into the car by the police with mixed emotions.
Hashimoto Maya briefly sympathized with this unlucky guy who had no detectives when he needed them and who was surrounded by detectives when he didn't need them. But soon, he suddenly became alert: "..." No, there was surveillance evidence, and the murderer tonight must be among them. If it wasn't this real murderer, it must be someone else. If it was him, Hashimoto Maya would be taken to the police station as a suspect...
"You are still too naive." Hashimoto Maya looked at the dejected back of Honma Kyota, stopped sympathizing, and slowly regained the train of thought of an outlaw: "Come to think of it, can't you just run away after killing someone and find a corner to burn your torn sock? You had to stay and gamble that the police wouldn't discover your method, when you clearly saw Jiang Xia in the room when you walked into the wrong door..."
As soon as the word "run away" was mentioned, Maya Hashimoto immediately wanted to run away.
——Although staying by Jiang Xia's side and waiting for an opportunity is a long-term task given to him by Lord Wu Zuo, it's already so late today, and he has experienced two cases in a row... It's actually normal to take a break from get off work now.
After struggling for a while, Maya Hashimoto quietly took out her mobile phone and planned to check her mailbox to see if there were any instructions from "that adult".
At the entrance of the KTV, Inspector Megure was about to announce the end of his shift as he watched his subordinates put the suspect into the police car. However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered something and thought to himself, "Oh no! The bug on Sonoko..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Xia's voice came down from the sky like a sweet rain: "Maybe it was installed by the dead stalker? I just checked, and the bug seems to have a positioning function. Maybe this is why he was able to 'encounter' us tonight."
"I see!" Inspector Megure instinctively ignored words like 'seems' and 'maybe' in Jiang Xia's words. He looked down at the evidence bag in his hand and readily put the bug and the dead stalker inside together.
Afterwards, he happily said goodbye to Jiang Xia, happily got into the police car, waved goodbye and left.
The other side of the bug.
Judy lowered her foot from the accelerator, exhaled, and leaned back in her chair in relaxation: although she was confident that she could easily shake off the group of police officers, now that the matter had disappeared without a trace, it was obviously a better outcome.
"I didn't expect Jiang Xia to say that." Judy thought of the reliable detective who cleared her of all charges when she was considered the prime suspect several times. Her favorability rating kept increasing. "Thanks to him this time. Fortunately, he didn't realize that we had installed the bug."
Akai Shuichi listened to Jiang Xia's different tone from usual and sighed silently: "Perhaps it is because he saw it that he deliberately said such words."
Judy was startled: "What do you mean?"
Akai Shuichi shook his head and said nothing more. But he had already formed a series of speculations in his mind: this afternoon at the magic venue, when he ran onto the stage, Jiang Xia was in the audience below the stage - now it seems that perhaps as early as then, this famous detective had already noticed him.
"Although there are many people who have the opportunity to come into contact with Suzuki Sonoko, not many have reasons to install a bug on her. Although it is indeed possible that the stalker installed it in advance, with Jiang Xia's observation skills, he must be able to tell how many times the stalker appeared next to Suzuki Sonoko."
"In other words, the reason why Jiang Xia said that to the police was probably because he was covering up for my actions... Even though he knew nothing, he was willing to help me. He really is worthy of being that man's child."
Beside her, Judy looked at the ace who was lost in thought: "...?"
She was curious and scratched her head. What was he thinking about? He was so absorbed in it. She should tell him so that he could think about it too.
…
In KTV.
Maya Hashimoto looked through his phone and confirmed that there were no instructions from Uzo in his mailbox, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, he decisively said goodbye, using the excuse that it was getting late.
"Are you leaving now?" Conan was slightly startled, looked at his watch, and realized that it was indeed time to go home.
Hashimoto Maya heard his muttering and paused, as if he was in some kind of dilemma. But in the end, he quietly quickened his pace and disappeared from the sight of others.
Conan looked at the man's hurried footsteps and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.
He was about to say to Mao Lilan, "Sister Xiaolan, you go back first, I have something to do," and then quietly follow her. But at this moment, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed him.
Conan turned around in surprise and saw Jiang Xia, who had returned to them at some point and was looking him up and down.
"You seem to be unable to focus on the case lately." His perceptive classmate looked in the direction where Hashimoto Maya left, thoughtfully, "Are you concerned about Mr. Hashimoto's affairs?"
"This..." Conan opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly remembered the bug that had quietly appeared on Suzuki Sonoko's body.
