Chapter 3121 3133 [Jiang Xia Murder Case]
The squinting lawyer looked down at his phone, then looked up at the door, stunned for a moment: "This...is a coincidence?"
As he spoke, he hung up the phone. The next moment, the ringing in the room also stopped abruptly.
Squinting-eyed lawyer: “…”
Others: “…”
Conan interrupted the useless silence: "I can't be wrong, I remember it very clearly, this is the ringtone of Brother Jiang Xia's phone call!"
At the same time, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: he suddenly discovered that Jiang Xia was missing and his cell phone was turned off. His first reaction was that the "mysterious client" who had asked Jiang Xia to come to Izu had finally taken action.
But now, Jiang Xia's phone rang in the female lawyer's room. Thinking of those wives who occasionally gave Jiang Xia a strange look, Conan felt relieved: "..." Being abducted by a woman is better than being plotted against by the Black Organization. Although the matter is equally troublesome, at least it is not so bad that it cannot be reversed.
However, now that they already know the situation, they certainly cannot allow the status quo to continue.
Apparently, Hibiki Eri thought so too. This lawyer queen obviously didn't expect her colleague to attack an innocent high school student. She looked grim and asked the waiter who had mixed in with them, "Do you have a universal room card?"
"This..." The waiter hesitated, but soon nodded firmly: Although it is against the rules to enter the guest's room without permission, it is obviously an emergency situation at the moment.
She trotted back to get the universal room card, put it into the card swipe slot, and with a beep, the door opened smoothly.
But it was only opened. Just as it opened a gap as wide as a palm, the door was restrained by the chain fixed to the wall - someone bolted it from the inside.
"Let me see." Kisara took the door handle, moved to the crack of the door, and looked into the room.
The next moment, a head with eyes wide open suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
——In the bright light, a short-haired woman fell in the room. Her body was blocked by the wall, but her head was over the corner, facing this side, as if she was staring blankly at the person outside the door.
Seeing such a scene suddenly, even Kisaki Eri couldn't help but take a step back in fear.
"What's wrong?" The others noticed her abnormality and hurried to peek through the crack in the door. Soon, everyone who squeezed past saw Usui Ritsuko lying on the ground.
Conan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked at the stunned waiter: "Go find some tools to cut the chain!"
The waiter came to his senses, nodded hurriedly, and ran to find someone.
"There's no time to wait for tools." Lawyer Saku, who was choosing ties with Kisaki Eri, had lived in Tokyo for a long time. He obviously knew what to do at a time like this. He rushed towards the door with all his strength, "Knock the door open!"
With a loud noise, the fragile door chain was knocked open, and a group of people rushed into the room and ran to the fallen Usui Ritsuko.
"Usui, Usui!" Several lawyers surrounded the colleague who seemed to be a little cold, "Are you okay?"
The people on earth did not answer them.
Fei Yingli felt something was wrong, so she quickly squatted down and said, "Move aside, let me take a look."
The lawyers moved aside to make room for her. Kisaki Eri put her hand on Usui Ritsuko's neck and checked for a moment. She shook her head and whispered tactfully, "No pulse."
The others were stunned: "Dead?"
Conan suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the bed beside him - he saw the quilt move out of the corner of his eye, as if someone turned over in it.
Mao Lilan also noticed it, and the two of them walked over carefully and quietly lifted the quilt. Looking inside, they met the eyes of Jiang Xia who seemed to have just woken up.
“…”
In a sealed room with a chain on the door, a body with a mark on the neck fell to the ground, and at the same time, there was a person hiding in the quilt...
Mao Lilan instinctively raised her hand and covered the quilt back with her eyes wide open.
Conan was also stunned, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind. But before he could figure out how to respond, the quilt moved, and Jiang Xia lifted the quilt and sat up.
Mao Lilan: “!!”
She raised her hand and wanted to push the man back, but it was too late - the room was only this small, and the lawyers gathered at the end of the bed noticed the movement and looked over.
"What are you doing..." Jiang Xia rubbed his eyes in response to their surprised looks, as if he was a little confused. "Why are you all gathered in my room? What happened?"
"This is not your room." Conan took a deep breath and described the situation at the fastest speed, "This is Sister Usui's room. She is dead. Do you remember how you got here?"
Jiang Xia recalled, frowned and shook his head. At the same time, he seemed to realize something and moved to the end of the bed: "The body is here? Let me see."
"you……"
Several male lawyers looked at him, hesitant to speak: there were only two people in the closed room, one of them had marks on his neck, obviously strangled to death, and the other was sleeping in the bed alive... The answer to the question of who the murderer was seemed to be right in front of them.
But before that, there is another question that cannot be ignored - why is Jiang Xia in Usui Ritsuko's room?
Although the waitress didn't say it explicitly, from her words along the way, it seemed that Jiang Xia was inexplicably sleepy, and Usui Ritsuko took the initiative to send him back to his room. But now... why did she send him to her own bed?
On one side is a mature female lawyer with a huge drinking capacity and rich experience, and on the other side is an innocent high school student. No matter how you look at it, this seems a bit...
With confused thoughts swirling in their heads, the other male lawyers wanted to ask loudly, "You actually killed her!"
But when the words came to their lips, because of a trace of guilt as Usui Ritsuko's companion, they finally said: "You, how can you kill someone... If you really can't, why not just knock her out? Why strangle her to death?"
Jiang Xia didn't seem to be too panicked about being thought of as a murderer. He lowered his eyes to look at his hands and shook his head, saying, "I don't think I killed him. Just like you said, in this case, I would first knock him out instead of taking such an extreme measure as strangling him to death."
"But it's a bit early to talk about this now," he said to the others. "Call the police first - you stand here and record the current state of the room, then wait outside the door. If too many people stay here, it will only ruin the scene."
"Oh, OK." The lawyers felt that this made sense, so they took out their phones and started recording. As lawyers, they also knew how important the first scene was. Since they were sure that the person was dead, the next thing to do was, of course, to protect the scene.
Behind the overhead camera.
Vodka looked at the group of lawyers who obeyed his orders very well: "......?"
