Chapter 3132 3144 [Trick]
Conan glanced at him and finally realized the fleeting sense of incongruity. He looked up at Inspector Yokomizo and a cold light flashed across his glasses.
"If the police officer's reasoning is true, then if we look at the motive to find the murderer, then Lawyer Lin is actually the most suspicious person."
Conan stroked his chin, and several policemen he often dealt with came to his mind: "If it was Inspector Megure, Officer Takagi, or even Officer Sato, they should have set their sights on Lawyer Hayashi by now, but this Inspector Yokomizo seems to be very sure that Lawyer Hayashi is not the murderer."
“This is too weird…”
A pseudo-primary school student stroked his chin, pondering the possibilities behind this matter.
Next to him, a fake lawyer was watching him and quietly took two steps back out of his sight.
Curacao: “…” I don’t know why, he is just an elementary school student who is powerless, but the way this child occasionally behaves makes people feel cold behind their backs.
This was originally an extremely strange thing, but when he thought of the curly-haired subordinate who had the same smile as Uzo, Curacao suddenly felt that no matter how terrible the expressions of the people around Uzo were, they seemed very normal.
"No wonder Vodka always said that this was Wuzo's lackey. At first, I actually thought that it was too pathetic and strange for him, a cadre of the organization, to be so startled by a first-grade kid. But now..."
Curacao sighed silently and shook his head secretly: "Every time I saw those innocent children before, I felt like my life was injected with new vitality. But if this continues, every time I see a child, I'm afraid the face of this Uzo minion will appear in my mind first."
"What on earth was he thinking? What on earth had Uzo told him? What role did he play in this?"
Question marks began to emerge in his mind one after another, and Curacao quietly looked at Conan, as if he was facing a complicated book written by Uzo.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, a young police officer ran in and whispered something to Inspector Yokomizo.
Inspector Yokomizo hissed and murmured, "How cruel..."
Fei Yingli looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
Officer Yokomizo sighed, "You should still remember the murder weapon that killed Miss Usui, which was the telephone cord that fell on the bedside. The forensic officers just collected some fingerprints on it, and they belonged to Mr. Jiang Xia."
Hibiki Eri's heart skipped a beat and her face changed slightly: For her, who often deals with criminal cases, especially many murder cases, there is no need to explain how much weight the evidence such as "fingerprints on the murder weapon" has.
But she quickly came to her senses and realized the difference between this case and previous ones: "This doesn't prove anything. The murderer only needs to take Jiang Xia's hand and press it against the telephone line while he is still asleep. It is not difficult to forge this kind of evidence.
"Let's take a step back and assume that Jiang Xia is the murderer. If he wore gloves when committing the crime, he wouldn't have left fingerprints on the telephone line. If he did leave fingerprints, there should be marks of strangulation on his hands, but there aren't any. In general, this whole thing is full of doubts."
Inspector Yokomizo wanted to nod, but he held back: "That's hard to say."
Fei Yingli pressed her eyebrows, feeling a little fed up with this policeman: "Why do you insist that Jiang Xia is the murderer?"
"..." Inspector Yokomizo remembered the important task Jiang Xia had given him, so he could only bite the bullet and start writing:
"He was alone with the deceased for quite some time, and there are eyewitnesses who have proven that Jiang Xia went back to the room with the deceased before the crime. As for the gloves and marks you mentioned... Jiang Xia is a famous detective, or in other words, a crime expert. He has many ways to strangle someone without leaving any marks."
Curacao couldn't help but look at him: "..." Yes, such as controlling another person's hand to kill someone, and making that person think that he did it voluntarily... Theoretically, when you knew these things, you should have been killed, but unfortunately, you seemed to be just making up stories.
Inspector Yokomizo was indeed making things up, and the more he made them, the more he got into it - it was a rare opportunity to act with pay, and for a moment he seemed to be possessed by the screenwriter, and all the second-year novels he had read flooded into his mind: "As for the motive... maybe it's the case itself!"
Hibiki looked at him incomprehensibly: "What do you mean?"
Inspector Yokomizo sighed and said solemnly, "Humans have an instinctive aversion and fear towards the corpses of their own kind. Some of our new police officers may even have psychological problems after seeing too many murders."
"Jiang Xia is still young, and he has come into contact with so many corpses. Seeing these lives being buried in such crude ways, he might be very angry, but he is powerless to change the status quo... So gradually, the direction of this anger shifted."
Fei Yingli: "?"
Officer Yokomizo: "For example, he would think, why can't we make the withering of these lives more meaningful? For another example, he couldn't stand the crude methods of the criminals, so he couldn't help but repeatedly think about the flaws in these methods and how to solve the case after filling the flaws. As a result, he thought more and more deeply, and his thinking was gradually influenced by these assumptions, and finally embarked on the road of crime!"
Kisaki Eri: "..." This guy must have read too many novels. She wanted to apologize for what she said just now. Compared with this inspector who had a lot of weird things in his head, Inspector Megure was much better. At least he listened to what people said - it seemed that sometimes, being too good at thinking was not a good thing.
Conan: "..." This is just a lie. Who ordered this policeman? What is his purpose?
"Could it be that the power of that organization has infiltrated the police?" A fake elementary school student touched his chin, and felt that everything seemed to be connected:
"In that case, it's not surprising that the 'mysterious client' specifically asked Jiang Xia to come to Izu. In Tokyo, Jiang Xia's reputation among the police is too strong to be taken advantage of. So they deliberately brought Jiang Xia to another place to make it easier to frame him."
"Besides, the person who wronged you knows best how innocent you are. No wonder he neither thinks that Lawyer Lin is the murderer nor does he really think that Jiang Xia is the murderer. There is only one truth: he knows the real murderer, and the real murderer is an accomplice of his organization!"
Next to him, Curacao had no idea that he had inexplicably gained a police accomplice.
She looked at Officer Yokomizo who was giving a speech and couldn't help but pressed her eyebrows: "..." This guy is deeply corrupted. Just listening to him talk makes her head start to hurt. It seems that she should come to Izu less often in the future.
