Chapter 3122 3134 [Exclusive Lawyer]
Looking at the group of lawyers who were not doing their best in the picture, Vodka could not help but remain silent for a moment: "No matter from which angle you look at it, this guy is the most serious suspect right now - you idiots, if you don't send him to the police station on the spot, shouldn't you show some suspicion of him?"
"Wait, why are you all out? Come back, there's no surveillance in the corridor, what am I supposed to watch if you leave!"
An organization cadre who was watching from a distance shouted, but unfortunately, the sound obviously could not reach the ears of the crowd. Soon, the room was completely empty, leaving only a quiet corpse.
Vodka: "..." Forget it. I can't see them for a while, they will definitely come back later. After all, this house is the first crime scene. If I don't know these lawyers, don't I know the police?
Only then did he realize that his Coke was empty, so he quickly got up and planned to use this time to make himself a cup of coffee so that he could concentrate on watching this strange event happening late at night.
…
The other side.
After the lawyers finished filming, they returned to the corridor one after another.
After leaving the horrific-looking corpse, the group of stunned people gradually came to their senses, and only then did they once again clearly feel the impact of what was happening before their eyes.
"What happened between you two?" The fat lawyer couldn't accept the fact that the young and lovely female colleague had just passed away. "What on earth happened?"
Conan gritted his teeth: "..." What else could it be? Of course it was a shameless plot - it must have been that "mysterious client" who did it.
"What on earth do these guys want to do? Do they think that Jiang Xia will discover their upcoming actions, so they want to strike first?"
"Or, they wanted to win over Jiang Xia in other ways, but neither money nor power could impress this pure detective, so these guys changed their approach - first discredit him, then rescue him, so that they can use this as leverage to completely control this useful detective?"
Thinking of this, Conan clenched his fists angrily: "No, I can't let this happen!"
…
Izu Beach is a well-known holiday resort with a huge flow of people, which makes various cases and frictions more likely to occur.
The police had a plan for responding to the incident in this area, so not long after the lawyers called the police, a string of police cars came roaring over.
The leading Inspector Yokomizo, with coral-like curly hair, got out of the car yawning.
Seeing the curious gazes of the crowd, the tall police officer quickly cleared his throat, put on a good spirit, and then walked into the hotel with his subordinates.
"I heard that the dead person was a lawyer, and it was a closed-room murder case." Inspector Yokomizo muttered to his subordinates as they got on the elevator:
"I hate closed-room murders the most. The methods used by those guys are extremely troublesome. But if it was a closed-room murder, why didn't the victim commit suicide? We can't rule out this possibility at the moment."
The subordinate had been on duty at the police station. Compared with Inspector Yokomizo who was aroused from his home in the middle of the night, he obviously knew more about the case. So he explained to the somewhat careless officer: "Because there are two very obvious strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased, and she fell at the end of the bed, and the telephone cord that was the murder weapon was thrown next to the bedside table - this is definitely not suicide, but homicide."
"In addition..." The young police officer hesitated, "In fact, besides the deceased, there was another person in the room at the time."
"Oh?" Inspector Yokomizo was pleasantly surprised and snapped his fingers. "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier? Looks like I can go home directly this time. There are two people in the room with the door chain, one dead and one alive. Do we need to guess who the murderer is?"
…
"The murderer is you?!"
A minute later, Inspector Yokomizo, who was full of surprise, was struck by lightning. He stared at Jiang Xia blankly and covered his chest with a look of pain, "How is this possible!"
"Please be careful with your words." Hibiki pushed up her glasses, and the gold-rimmed frames flashed a cold light. "Jiang Xia was just in the same room with the deceased, but that doesn't mean he is the murderer."
"Ah, yes, but..." Officer Yokomizo came to his senses, "But in that case, who is the murderer?"
Next to him, the subordinates knew that this confused superior had worked with Jiang Xia several times and had great admiration for this famous detective.
In order to prevent the case from being mixed with too many personal factors, he cleared his throat and stepped forward to interrupt: "From the current situation, Mr. Jiang Xia is an important witness in this case - if it is convenient, please go to the police station with us now to make a statement."
"Oh, yes, take the statement. Take the statement first." Officer Yokomizo still looked like he was sleepwalking in disbelief. He came to his senses and looked at Jiang Xia, "Then..."
"Wait." Hibiki Eri flashed her gold-plated lawyer badge at them and interrupted, "I can take the statement, but in order to prevent you from conducting improper interrogation or making random accusations like you did just now, I have to accompany him..."
She suddenly stopped talking halfway.
Attorney protection at this stage is certainly important, but in fact, the most fundamental solution is to find the real murderer as soon as possible - only in this way can this trouble be completely resolved.
Among the people present, Maori Kogoro, the serious detective, was already drunk, and the others didn't seem to be very good at reasoning. If she followed Jiang Xia away...
Jiang Xia seemed to see her concerns and whispered, "You stay here. As for the lawyer, don't we still have Ms. Shirai? We have experienced many cases together and we are close friends. She should be willing to help."
Kisaki Eri: “!” That’s right, although Miss Shirai is quiet and seems to have mediocre qualifications, but in fact, if you look closely at the case files she has handled - she is a low-key and undefeated queen.
This immediately put her at ease: "When I was looking for you just now, she was sitting in the lobby, saying she was waiting for someone. When you pass by the lobby, just call her."
Jiang Xia nodded, waved goodbye to her, and went to the stairwell with the police to wait for the elevator.
The waitress was dumbfounded when she saw her idol being mistaken for the murderer. She mustered up her courage and chased after him. While explaining the whole story, she firmly concluded, "Mr. Jiang Xia cannot be the murderer! Strictly speaking, he is actually the victim who was taken away by the deceased lady!"
Inspector Yokomizo shook his head helplessly: "I don't want Mr. Jiang Xia to be the murderer, but now she is dead, and she died in that way - she must have been killed by someone else."
"That's right." Jiang Xia also joined their conversation smoothly. He turned around and glanced at the lawyers at the other end of the corridor. "From what the waitress just said, the one who killed Ms. Usui should be that lawyer Saku."
waiter:"!!"
A group of police officers: “?!”
