Chapter 2777 2789 [Jiang Xia's Secret Love]
"It was us two." The director walked over to the screenwriter. "But there were not many people at that time, so the four of us sat separately, each of us sitting more than a meter apart. Especially far away from Kawabata - if I wanted to replace his wet wipes, I would have to lie on the table."
Inspector Yokomizo looked left and right and fell silent: "..."
So... I still couldn't escape the 3-choice-1 situation.
No, this time it's even a choice between 4 and 1.
Just as I was thinking about it, the assistant director cautiously said, "I was sitting right in front of the deceased. It was impossible for me to replace his wet wipes - so I am innocent, right?"
Henggou Police Department: "..."
If we go back two minutes, he would definitely nod confidently.
But now...
Inspector Yokomizo cleared his throat and said, "It's too early to say that now. Don't worry, we will investigate it thoroughly."
Conan suddenly interrupted: "Then let's start with the deceased's pants."
Inspector Yokomizo was startled: "Pants?"
Conan nodded: "The reason we changed positions is because Xiaolan accidentally knocked over the soup, and the soup spilled onto the victim's legs. The victim wiped it with his own wet wipes. In other words, by checking whether there is potassium cyanide on the victim's pants, we can determine the approximate time when the wet wipes came into contact with potassium cyanide."
The forensic police officer didn't expect that this first grader would have such clear ideas. He nodded as if he was looking at a rare animal: "Okay."
Vodka: “…”
I had high hopes for you, but how come you were so quickly led astray by that sinister elementary school student? ! What are you investigating? Listen to me, arrest these two guys right here, and we will definitely not arrest the wrong people!
However, as a spectator hiding in the shadows, he could only watch unwillingly as the police officers took action under the manipulation of the minions.
…
Soon, something unexpected happened to Vodka.
"There was no potassium cyanide on the deceased's pants?"
This result surprised even Inspector Yokomizo: "That is to say, when the deceased wiped his pants that were spilled with porridge, there was no poison on the wipes... So it turned out that someone poisoned him after he changed his seat for the last time?"
After the last seat change, Jiang Xia and Conan were sitting on both sides of the deceased.
...The problem has returned to the original starting point.
Conan: "???" What's going on? Is Jiang Xia really a suspect?
Vodka was shocked and almost laughed out loud. The wonderful scene of "Uzo was exposed and caught, and Vodka bravely killed him on the way" appeared in his mind again...
Then he used the iron willpower of someone who had just quit drugs to suppress it.
"I will not relax until the handcuffs are on that kid's hands." Vodka took a deep breath with forbearance.
Just as he lowered his eyes, he suddenly realized something and his gaze suddenly turned to the crowd of onlookers crowded downstairs.
Because of the angle, he could only see a small part of the top of the head of that group of people, and just now, why did he feel...
"Am I dazzled? Did a knitted hat move in the crowd?"
Vodka rubbed his eyes, stood on tiptoe to the crack of the door, and tried to look down, but the damn railing and floor at the edge of the patio cruelly blocked his view.
If he stuck his head out again, he would fall out. Vodka could only reluctantly look away and try to use his brain to guess the situation downstairs.
"A knitted hat... Although it's normal for passers-by to wear a furry hat in this weather, it's weird to wear it in a store, even weirder than wearing sunglasses at night."
He pushed up his sunglasses, and two figures appeared in his mind: "Combined with Uzo who is here, is that person outside Maya Hashimoto? Or... that scary silver bullet?"
Thinking of this, his already light breathing became even lighter. He felt that this originally ordinary Chinese restaurant suddenly became full of dangers.
"That Uzo guy really has a backup plan." Vodka wiped the sweat from his forehead, "So is it Hashimoto Maya or Akai Shuichi who's downstairs? Let's assume the worst case scenario. If it's Akai, should I report it to my brother immediately?"
Thinking of this, Vodka took out his mobile phone, opened his email... and then stopped silently.
"Given the way Big Brother treats Akai Shuichi, if he hears that guy is here, he will definitely try every possible way to keep Akai alive." Vodka muttered to himself:
"But my brother is out of reach, and the only member of the organization here right now is Usa, besides me...I'm going to stop Akai Shuichi? And I have to team up with Usa?"
He shuddered silently and firmly put the phone back into his pocket.
"I didn't even look in that direction just now." Vodka nodded secretly, "I was worried about Uzo, so I focused on where he was. As for the knitted hat and the figure that looked like Akai Shuichi... I didn't see them, I didn't see them at all!"
…
Vodka was having a fierce psychological struggle.
Downstairs, the persecution of the innocent detective continued.
Inspector Yokomizo said to Jiang Xia, "Also, according to the waiter, the deceased's chopsticks had fallen to the ground along with the bowl of porridge, so he took a new pair of chopsticks and handed them to the deceased. Potassium cyanide was also not detected on that pair of chopsticks. In short, the time available for poisoning was extremely short. Of all the people present, only you and this 7-year-old child had the opportunity to do such a thing."
Jiang Xia touched his chin, as if he was somewhat convinced by him. He asked, "Then what is my motive for committing the crime?"
Inspector Yokomizo sighed and suddenly pointed at Mao Lilan who was standing beside him: "Because you have a crush on this girl."
The two female high school students looked confused: "???"
Vodka thought: "..." It's very similar to what I guessed before...
Conan was furious: "Nonsense!"
Inspector Yokomizo muted the angry fake child with a simple click. He said to Jiang Xia, "I've seen many cases of teenagers fighting and killing each other out of jealousy. I know that kids your age will do anything for love - that producer has never met you before, but he hugged your beloved girl right away and invited her to shoot an intimate movie. This is intolerable, so you poisoned him to death in a rage."
Vodka nodded repeatedly as he listened: It makes sense, could it be that this police captain is actually a genius?
Mao Lilan didn't expect that Jiang Xia would be suspected because of her. She waved her hands repeatedly: "No, you misunderstood, Jiang Xia doesn't..."
As she was speaking, Mao Lilan suddenly felt dizzy and staggered, and she had to hold on to the table beside her to barely stand.
Her gaze also shifted horizontally, and her eyes, which were originally looking at Inspector Yokomizo, accidentally fell on another figure.
