Chapter 2749-2761 [Highly Trusted]
"..." Inspector Megure didn't trust Suzuki Sonoko's reasoning ability, but after looking at Jiang Xia next to him, he still asked the General Affairs Director politely, "Who in your company is good at math?"
The director of general affairs wiped the sweat from his forehead and was a little confused for a moment: "No, most of the employees hired by our company are liberal arts students."
“…”
Suzuki Sonoko turned around as if nothing had happened and stroked her chin with a serious expression: "Very good, one wrong option has been eliminated. Then, I will start reasoning seriously next."
Mao Lilan thought of something else: "Speaking of X, didn't we just learn a usage of 'X' in class? Maybe the deceased also wanted to express this meaning?"
Judy and Suzuki Sonoko were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter at the same time. They waved their hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, there is absolutely no such possibility."
"..."The best friend who was shaking with laughter could not be relied on for the time being, so Mao Lilan looked at Jiang Xia for help: What does this X mean?
Jiang Xia didn't say anything, but Officer Gao Mu joined the discussion of several girls with great interest: "The X you are talking about, is it the thing that women often write at the end of letters?"
Judy snapped her fingers: "Yes."
Suzuki Sonoko looked suspicious: "You are an honest man, but you are playing tricks behind my back."
"I didn't!" The happy officer Gao Mu was no longer happy. He quickly explained, "It was all a prank by my colleagues. I didn't do anything weird!"
Beside him, Inspector Megure looked at this and that: "What on earth are you talking about?"
The three of them said in unison: "Nothing!"
Memu Police Department: "...?"
Although there was no evidence, the middle-aged police chief always felt that he was being ostracized by the young people.
Fortunately, there were other young people who comforted his fragile heart. Jiang Xia handed over a brown paper bag wrapped in an evidence bag: "Compared to what X meant, take a look at this first."
"Huh?" Inspector Megure looked carefully in the direction he pointed, and was shocked to find that: on the left side of OXΔ, in the upper right corner of the brown paper bag, there was a faint vertical bloodstain.
"What is this?" Inspector Megure reacted for a moment, vaguely understanding, "Could it be that there is actually another symbol here, but when the deceased wrote these four symbols, it was too dark around him, and he accidentally wrote the first symbol somewhere else, resulting in only the current three symbols left on the brown paper bag?"
"That..." the forensic police officer who was busy at the side heard this, "We also found it, but we just looked around and didn't find any other blood words on the ground."
Jiang Xia patted the elevator handrail beside him: "It's not on the ground, why don't we look here?"
Forensic police officer: “!”
…
The escalator, which had stopped due to a sudden murder, started running again.
This time, there were a few more police officers beside it. The busy police officers were holding luminol reagent and a simple sunshade, spraying the liquid that could make blood visible on the rotating pedal.
Although the pedals were cleaned when the elevator turned to the back, with the help of technology, the police quickly found an area with a large amount of blood splattered.
They were inspired, stopped the elevator, and began to look carefully for the first character written on the pedal.
On the other hand, other colleagues were not idle either.
Officer Takagi ran around and brought back a few things: "We found a coat, hat, and gloves discarded by the suspected criminal in a rarely used restroom on the 5th floor. However... we were unable to find the investigation report that was stolen from the deceased."
Officer Chiba trotted over from the other side and said, "We asked those 58 people for their alibis. The murder happened during break time, and many employees were taking a nap or eating out alone. Only 27 people have clear alibis during that time."
Inspector Megure silently did some addition and subtraction in his mind: In other words, there are 31 more people to be checked...
"Mr. Jiang Xia!" Suddenly, the forensic police officer beside him said excitedly, "We found the crooked bloody word!"
…
On the elevator pedal, a "mouth" is quietly displayed.
The vertical line on the far right was missing half, and when I compared it with the brown paper bag, the missing part was exactly completed - this was indeed another character left by the deceased.
Conan squeezed to the front of the elevator and looked inside. He murmured to Jiang Xia in confusion: "Isn't this 'mouth' a little bigger than those three OXΔ?"
As he was speaking, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed him away from the elevator.
Inspector Megure stared at the naughty child: "Don't destroy the scene! Speaking of which, there is blood everywhere. Aren't you afraid?"
Conan: “…” That’s not what you said when you called someone brother before!
Unfortunately, the resistance was ineffective. The weak elementary school student was eventually taken away by Inspector Megure and put aside.
After the middle-aged police inspector left, Conan straightened his collar which was pulled askew, and planned to regroup and sneak back to the scene.
At this time, someone nearby laughed and said, "Little boy, sometimes you really look like a detective when you solve cases - have you ever thought that those symbols might be trying to express a certain meaning through their shapes?"
She glanced at Jiang Xia who was looking over here, and said meaningfully: "For example, the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States National Defense, is generally called the Pentagon because its building is a pentagon. In our United States, there are many things with similar names. For example, the White House refers to the presidential palace, and the presidential office is called the Oval office. In addition, Bereau stands for the department - the most representative example is the FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
After a pause, she smiled and said, "You can use these as a reference to solve the case. How about it, are you confident that you can beat your brother Jiang Xia?"
Conan smiled awkwardly but politely. At the same time, he grasped something intuitively: FBI? ...Why did he mention FBI specifically?
Judy glanced at the slightly confused child, and her eyes once again quietly moved towards Jiang Xia.
Perhaps it was Shuichi Akai's successive setbacks that made James rely more on other members. Yesterday, when he asked his subordinates to disperse and investigate, James secretly entrusted her with an important task, expressed his trust in her intuition, and let her act freely.
Judy was flattered, and then began to shoulder the burden and analyze the situation: Belmode has been incredibly honest recently, so there is no need to worry about her for the time being. So the focus of her work now is...
"Uzo." Judy silently recited the scary code name in her mind. "Based on my experience a while ago, that guy must be in collusion with Vermouth. Even if it is for the sake of catching Vermouth smoothly, we can't leave him alone."
