Chapter 2935 2947 [Employee Benefits] Request for monthly ticket (`)
Jiang Xia: "That way it's easy to miss it, and it's easy for the murderer to point to the wrong place. If he lowers his head to confirm where the text is while pointing it to Ogura Chizo, this level of interaction will definitely be noticed by Officer Takagi very quickly."
Officer Takagi felt a little proud and a little guilty when he heard this: "..." In that situation, if someone gave Chizo Ogura a finger... could he really tell?
Jiang Xia just praised it casually without really waiting for his feedback. Soon, the famous detective gave a conclusion: "So there is no need to read it word by word. We just need to focus on the headlines and pictures."
Officer Sato nodded, flipping through the newspaper while thanking the off-duty artifact for helping them reduce their workload.
"Come to think of it, the murderer seems to have pasted a few words cut from newspapers on the fake bomb. If we can find the newspaper with holes in it, things will be simple."
She glanced through the three newspapers with hope, and then discovered with great regret that there were no holes, no bloodstains, and no matter how you looked at it, they were just three ordinary newspapers.
...Sure enough, I still have to look for clues from the headlines and pictures in the newspapers, just as Jiang Xia said.
…
"There doesn't seem to be any words like 'toilet', 'Ok', or 'action' in the title."
Five minutes later, Officer Sato finished browsing all the headlines on the pages and couldn't help but sigh: "It's on the coffee can, too. Could it be that the murderer gave instructions in some other way?"
Checking the headlines of three newspapers was not a big task, so while Officer Sato was busy searching, Officer Takagi was dealing with three suspects who were asking questions.
He let the cat out of the bag while trying to deal with it, and a passenger from Tokyo was shocked and asked, "What? That guy stabbed himself in the stomach while sitting on the toilet?"
The short and fat office worker also frowned and said, "Then this isn't suicide! Why did you ask us to come here?"
Surrounded by three men, Officer Gao Mu explained anxiously: "So didn't I just say that although it looks like suicide, it was actually a false impression created by the murderer - there are many details that can prove that this was a homicide, such as the dropped knife! The direction of the knife tip shows that it was held upright when it was pulled out, not reversed..."
The passenger in the knitted hat said impatiently, "What's wrong with holding it in the right position? Maybe he just couldn't pull out the knife, so he stood up and changed his position to make it easier for him to use both hands?"
"That's right!" The passenger from Tokyo said, "If he stood up and pulled out the knife, it would be high above the ground, so it wouldn't be surprising if the knife bounced into any shape after hitting the ground."
The short and fat office worker also took the opportunity to attack: "You actually suspect us because of such a small matter, is this how you handle cases? - Humph, from now on, I will not answer any of your questions!"
Officer Takagi: “You guys…!” You were so cooperative just now, why are you suddenly…
"Damn it, I can never let my guard down just because the suspect has a good attitude again." Officer Takagi silently summed up his mistakes in his mind, "But then again, after making such a big mistake today, can I still be a police officer in the future?"
It was not easy for him to get into the Metropolitan Police Department, it was not easy for him to get promoted to the position of Chief of Patrol, it was not easy for him to meet Officer Sato and become her most convenient partner...
A young police officer begins to despair.
"The suspect I was escorting died, and the murderer was never caught. Why can't I do anything right..." Officer Gao Mu smiled in self-abandonment as he drifted back from the three suspects. "After I'm fired, I might as well become a detective assistant." This way, at least I can often follow Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia always encounters murders, and then meets Officer Sato...
Vodka: "?" What do you mean? If you can't be a good police officer, can you be a good detective assistant? Are you underestimating the value of my part-time job?
Jiang Xia studied the policeman for a moment, then thought about the murder rate around him, and said regretfully, "It is true that the suspect being escorted died, but you will be able to catch the murderer soon."
Officer Takagi: "!"
He looked up in surprise: "Do you know who the murderer is?"
Jiang Xia responded and looked at the three suspects who were listening nervously. Then he raised his hand and pointed, as if giving benefits to his employees, and said: "Go and catch that knitted hat, he is Ogura Chizo's accomplice."
Officer Takagi: "!!"
Passenger with knitted hat: “?!”
Vodka: “…” Uzo really doesn’t like Akai Shuichi, and even other knitted hats are implicated… Come to think of it, there is also a knitted hat in my own closet that I bought two years ago. Tsk, I’ll burn it quickly when I get back.
The knitted hat in question was unaware of the twists and turns in the eyes of others. He was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses. Seeing that Officer Gao Mu was really about to come over, he said anxiously: "You are slandering me! - You must be holding a grudge against me for pointing out the flaw in your reasoning just now, so you are anxious to arrest me and silence me!"
Jiang Xia looked at the three newspapers on the ground and pointed at the sports newspaper: "This is what you bought, right?"
"This..." The passenger in the knitted hat wanted to deny it, but there were only three newspapers on the ground. Under the gaze of the two people next to him, he could only admit, "So what if it is."
Officer Sato understood: "He used this newspaper to guide Chizo Ogura to the bathroom?"
Jiang Xia nodded and pointed to the "W Cup" on the cover, which is the World Cup - the headline of this newspaper was a report about Ray Curtis' murder.
Yes, although it is a sports newspaper, it is also passionately reporting on the murder. After all, Ray Curtis is a world-class star, and he killed someone in Osaka. Compared with the wins and losses of various competitions, this kind of news is obviously more eye-catching.
Jiang Xia: "When the murderer passed by the victim's seat, he tucked the newspaper under his armpit and quietly pointed to the 'W' on the newspaper.
"This 'W' is suggesting Water Closet, or W.C. - it's hard to make the connection at first glance, but shortly before the murderer passed by Ogura Chizo, the train attendant ran to the police and told them that 'someone had placed a bomb in the toilet on the train.'
"Chizo Ogura was sitting between the two policemen at the time, so he must have heard this. This kind of words must have left a deep impression on people, and also hinted at and emphasized the location of the 'toilet'.
"So after seeing the W in the newspaper, Chizo Ogura quickly thought of the bathroom and tried his best to get Officer Takagi to take him there."
The passenger in the knitted hat had a different expression, and finally snorted, "That's all nonsense! What W? That's even more unreliable than the direction of the knife tip just now. Are you any good as a detective? Can you only rely on far-fetched connections to solve the case?"
