Chapter 2810 2822 [Belmode Brand Watson] Ask for monthly ticket (`)
"If you ask me, the incident at the Rice Flower Hotel is definitely not as simple as a fight."
Several reporters carrying cameras and long guns trotted in the direction Jiang Xia left, muttering, "It's a pity that the security of that hotel is too strong. We can't get in. Their employees are more tight-lipped than others... Humph, but it's not a big problem. Once they let down their guard, I will definitely be able to dig out the secrets!"
The other person was more optimistic. He lowered his head and adjusted the camera. "We'll talk about the future later. Jiang Xia is right in front of us now. I just heard someone screaming. If we follow him, we will definitely be able to write a good report!"
Just now in the hotel, they were feeling frustrated because they couldn't get any information out of the hotel. Then they saw a familiar-looking person on the street, hailed a taxi, got in and left.
A few people looked at each other, then immediately ran back to the car and followed - the hotel was here and it wouldn't run away. By comparison, with Jiang Xia here, would they still worry about not being able to dig up news?
They put the case of the Rice Flower Hotel aside for the time being, followed stealthily behind, and concentrated on guessing the scream that had just floated down from the roof.
…
Ahead.
Reluctantly, the fake doctor followed the fake detective around the corner and into the foyer of the building.
To the right of the lobby is the security room, and on the left wall are the mailboxes for the entire building.
Almost all the mailboxes were empty and had no name tags. Only mailboxes 402 and 701 were occupied. The name "Terasawa" was written on mailbox 402, and the words "(株) NEED" were written on mailbox 701. It looked like it was being used as an office.
"Hmm?" The guard was sitting in the duty room reading a newspaper. When he heard someone coming, he looked out the window and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Jiang Xia pointed upstairs and said, "Just now there was a female scream floating down from upstairs. Did you hear it?"
"Female scream?" The guard was puzzled. "No."
As he was speaking, the door creaked and someone else walked in.
Jiang Xia turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a mustache and a long bag on his back.
The guard obviously knew this resident. He stood up and greeted him: "You are back."
The man with a mustache nodded to the guard, then looked at Jiang Xia and the "new doctor": "Who are these two?"
The guard quickly introduced: "These two gentlemen just ran over and said that there was a woman screaming on the roof of our building - how is this possible? There are only a few people living in this building..."
There was a series of footsteps, and a woman in a red dress staggered out of the corridor. She slipped and fell at the corner, and the slippers on her feet flew off.
But she didn't have time to cry out in pain, she said in horror: "My husband, my husband is dead! On the balcony!!"
Jiang Xia walked over and helped up the strange woman dressed like an elite strong woman: "Were you the one who was screaming upstairs just now? - I'm a detective, and the one next to you is a doctor. Which room is the body you mentioned in? Take us upstairs to have a look."
The woman was stunned: Detective and doctor? Are they playing Sherlock Holmes and Watson?
But as long as someone is willing to come forward to deal with this matter, it will be fine. She climbed up in pain and hurriedly answered Jiang Xia's question: "Room 701!"
…
In addition to the enthusiastic and kind detective and doctor, the resident who had just returned and the doorman also got on the elevator together - the person who could not be seen when looking down suddenly died, so they had to go upstairs to check.
The old elevator slowly moved to the 7th floor. It was idle anyway, so Jiang Xia asked a few residents, "The mailboxes in the lobby are basically empty. Do you only have two families living here?"
The guard nodded and said, "This place will be demolished at the end of the month, and the original residents have moved out one after another. Now, apart from Mr. Imoto, the owner of this building, only Mr. Terasawa still lives here."
As we were talking, the elevator stopped on the 7th floor.
The guard pointed outside and said, "This is Mr. Jingben's office."
The group got off the elevator. Jiang Xia put on gloves and opened the door of the room pointed out by the lady in the suit.
Looking down, I saw three pairs of shoes scattered around the entrance, two of which were men's leather shoes and one pair of women's high heels.
Jiang Xia stepped over the shoes and walked into the living room with the others. Looking toward the balcony, he saw a man in a suit standing on the carpeted balcony with his back to the door.
"?" "Doctor Shinchu" looked at the man standing there, then at the woman in the suit, "Didn't you say he was dead?"
The woman in the dress covered her face and dared not look at the balcony: "I'm not talking about him - my husband's body is in the corner on the right side of the balcony."
Jiang Xia walked to the man in the suit and followed his gaze towards the balcony on the right.
Sure enough, a corpse in sportswear was lying on the ground with its eyes wide open, as if it had died with its eyes open.
Startled by the footsteps beside him, the man in the suit came to his senses. He trembled and made way, raised his hand and pointed at the body, and said to the people who came over: "He, he seems to be dead."
Jiang Xia nodded and glanced at the doctor he brought with him.
"..." Vermouth walked forward, squatted down and took a closer look, then stood up and shook her head without any surprise, "He's dead."
The guard carefully poked his head out of the house and saw the broken pieces of a flower pot scattered on the ground next to the corpse's head. He was surprised and asked, "Was he killed by someone hitting him with a flower pot?"
Jiang Xia raised his hand to signal them to go back into the house: "Call the police first."
Without Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, the famous detective had to dial the number for Inspector Megure himself.
…
"The cause of death was posterior brain injury."
Inspector Megure couldn't help but yawn tiredly. He rubbed his eyes and observed the scene alertly: "There are a lot of flower pot fragments nearby. It seems that this is the murder weapon."
Next to him, Jiang Xia walked around the balcony and stopped in front of the railing - there was a fresh scratch on the railing, which looked like it had been hit hard by something heavy, and the mark was still very new.
He pointed here, and the forensic police officer next to him immediately trotted over to take samples and take photos.
"Doctor Shinchu" looked at this scene, his eyes twitched slightly, and he silently retreated away from the group of policemen.
It didn't take long for the diligent police to skillfully figure out the general situation.
Of course, this was also thanks to the few people nearby, all of whom were acquaintances of the deceased.
"The deceased is the president of NEED Real Estate Company, Imoto Ryusuke, 39 years old this year." Inspector Megure wrote furiously in his notebook, "The first person to discover the body was his wife, Mrs. Takako."
He looked at the lady in a red dress and confirmed, "Is that so?"
The woman in the skirt had regained her composure by now. She nodded and said, "That's right."
Inspector Megure then turned to another person. This time, his eyes became more suspicious: "When Jiang Xia and the others went upstairs, they saw a person standing next to the body on the balcony. This person is you - who are you, what is your relationship with the deceased, and what were you doing standing on the balcony just now?"
