Chapter 3099 3111 [Discarded Business Card]
"Otherwise, what will we do if we are sent to jail by a foolish detective like Moustache?"
Calvados recalled how he had encountered the police many times recently and how he was successfully released by the police because Jiang Xia quickly caught the real culprit. He felt lucky after realizing it, "Why not just leave Jiang Xia's contact information?"
"Now that I don't have any prohibited items on me, I don't have to resist contact with the police and detectives like before. Rather than being slandered as a criminal and taken to the police station for investigation, it is better to let Jiang Xia show up when there are signs, find the real culprit, and clear my name."
After so many days back, he became more and more aware of the danger in Tokyo, no, the entire country.
There are cases everywhere, and you never know when you might run into one. However, speaking of Jiang Xia's contact information...
"Jiang Xia seemed to have given me a business card before, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I also thought it was unlucky to have something to do with the police and detectives, so I threw it away after I got back." Calvados thought of his previous actions and felt a little regretful:
"They should have been thrown on the coffee table or in the car. But when I think about it, I never saw them in that place again... I was on a mission with Vodka at the time. Could it be that Vodka picked up those business cards?"
——When Calvados found out that Vodka was working as a "detective assistant", he suspected that guy was crazy, but now...
"It seems that he has already tasted the sweetness of having a detective's help, so he deliberately tries to get close to Jiang Xia." Calvados was disdainful, but at the same time he admired Vodka's survival wisdom.
But even though he admired her, he couldn't bring himself to turn around and ask Jiang Xia for her business card.
"After these guys leave, I'll email Vodka to ask for his contact information." Calvados nodded secretly, "As someone who also uses detectives, he should be able to understand my actions."
For an organizational cadre, it doesn't sound very honorable to rely on the detective's ability to solve cases.
But since both of them were like this, it didn't matter who looked down on whom. And considering Vodka's personality, I don't think he would publicize such things.
…
When an organizational cadre secretly adjusts his living environment.
Next to him, Inspector Megure, who was frozen in the clapping position, belatedly realized that something was wrong.
——Just now he saw two detectives, one big and one small, whispering to each other, and thought that Brother Mao Li had gotten the answer from Brother Jiang Xia, so he planned to applaud without thinking carefully after listening to them, but now...
"That's right. Just now, the two of them got together and said only a few words, but Maori said anxiously that he understood..." The inspector's eyes twitched slightly when he understood what had happened, and he cursed in his heart, "Why don't you listen to the whole story first!"
Under his resentful gaze, Maori Kogoro, who had guessed wrong twice, was in a panic for a moment, and suddenly looked at the unlocked air vent and got an inspiration: "That's right, the window! The murderer must have climbed out of the window after locking the door, and used the method I told him before to put the key into the pool of the building model!"
The landlady also realized the unreliability of this former tenant. She shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about how the murderer climbed upstairs - just look."
She walked to the window and pointed to the yard not far ahead. The yard next door was lit, and a half-human-tall dog was tied under the street light.
"The dog stays there every day and is very dedicated to its duties. If it found someone climbing through the window, it would have barked a long time ago. But when we were at home just now, we didn't hear any movement."
"Uh..." Maori Kogoro scratched his head, "It's neither this nor that, so the deceased really committed suicide?"
"..." Inspector Megure closed his ears, not wanting to listen to him. He turned to Jiang Xia, "Brother Jiang Xia, what do you think?"
Jiang Xia pointed to a clean glass that was turned upside down on the kitchen counter and said, "Mrs. Zong Tian, was this the glass you used when you gave your grandson juice?"
"Yes." The landlady looked in the direction he pointed and was a little surprised. "You actually washed the cups. Ah Zhen used to wait for me to collect them after drinking."
Jiang Xia nodded and looked at the medical student who lived downstairs: "In this case, the murderer should be you."
“?!”
No one expected the murderer to be revealed so suddenly. They were stunned for several seconds, and then like a field of sunflowers suddenly awakened, they turned their heads and looked at Keihiko Kido.
Keihiko Shiroto, who had been quietly serving as a background, was stunned on the spot. After a moment, he came to his senses and almost jumped up in shock: "What nonsense are you talking about! How could the murderer be me?!"
Inspector Megure, who almost let this "outsider" leave just now, felt a pang in his heart and was glad that he did not let the suspect escape.
He signaled his men to block the man's escape route and asked him, "Tell me, what trick did you use?"
"Nothing works!" Shiroto Keihiko wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and tried to maintain the calmness that a student should have, and refuted rationally:
"I'm Ah Zhen's friend, how could I kill him? - Besides, didn't you just say this was a secret room? I'm a normal adult, can I kill someone and then escape through that palm-wide air vent or finger-wide mailbox opening?"
Jiang Xia: "You really can't escape, but your helpers can."
He turned to the landlady and asked, "Can I borrow the room key you have?"
The landlady looked confused as she took out the key and gave it to him.
Jiang Xia nodded and leaned over to say a few words to Conan.
The mini tool man trotted out, and Jiang Xia picked up the sweater that the old lady had picked up from the entrance door, spread it back on the ground, and then said to everyone: "When you hear me talking outside the door, turn off the lights in the room, and then you will see how the key was sent back to that room."
As he said this, he fiddled with the key he had just received in his hand and walked out.
Two minutes later, Inspector Megure turned off the lights in the room as he was instructed.
The whole room became dark in an instant, with only a little light coming from the window.
Everyone closed their eyes to adjust, and suddenly, they heard a "click" - the long and narrow mailbox delivery opening was opened, and then a hard insect was thrown in.
"It's a rhinoceros beetle!" Mao Lilan recognized the beetle that she often caught when she was a child. She said softly, "And it's a male rhinoceros beetle."
As the crowd looked on in confusion, the bug stepped on the sweater at the entrance, dragged the key tied to its body, and slowly crawled towards the house at the end of the corridor.
Soon, it came to the house and crawled towards the "underwater monument" in the center with a clear goal.
