Chapter 3217 3229 [Perpetual Motion Machine]
I actually made such a low-level mistake as laughing next to a corpse...
Curacao calmly adjusted her expression, feeling a pang of regret in her heart. Fortunately, there were not many people around, and this kind of thing was not considered evidence, but just an illusion caused by the angle. If someone questioned her, she would say that she liked to use a smile to cover up her sadness... But she must learn from this and never let this happen again.
When an organizational cadre is secretly reflecting in his heart like a newcomer.
The heart of a fake elementary school student was also in turmoil.
"There's no doubt about it. The death of this old lawyer must be related to that hidden organization." Conan retracted his gaze and quickly came to a conclusion, but at the same time, another question arose: Why did that organization do this?
Next to her, Haibara Ai, who saw everything, also started beating her heart hard.
"Yesterday I was still worried that this old lawyer would harm Jiang Xia, and I seriously thought of many ways to deal with it, but today, he suddenly died..."
The mini scientist didn't know if there was a necessary connection between the two, but even if it was just a coincidence, she couldn't help sweating as she looked at the wet corpse in front of her: "Could it be that the female lawyer killed Lawyer Ju in order to protect Jiang Xia?"
"According to my understanding of the organization, if the person suspected is just an ordinary peripheral member, then instead of killing a powerful figure like Lawyer Ju, they would be more accustomed to making Jiang Xia disappear.
"But now, it was Lawyer Ju who died suddenly. If this is the case, doesn't it mean that Jiang Xia's position in the organization..."
Thinking of the treatment and confidentiality level she had enjoyed before, Huibara Ai pursed her lips. She always felt that the death that befell Lawyer Tachibana had a creepy sense of déjà vu.
But soon, she shook her head vigorously again, nipping some terrible thoughts in the bud: "No, based on my experience, if the organization really wanted to protect Jiang Xia and take action against Lawyer Ju, then they would definitely choose a time when Jiang Xia is not at the scene, rather than taking action when Jiang Xia is a guest at Lawyer Ju's home like now."
"Perhaps this matter has nothing to do with Jiang Xia. It's just that the lawyer happened to offend the organization, Jiang Xia happened to come here, and the lawyer happened to die today..."
"Tokyo is so small. Jiang Xia and that lawyer are both celebrities. It makes sense that they have some connections..."
A mini scientist took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and tried to convince himself with reason.
Next to him, unlike his trembling classmates, Conan quietly ignited his fighting spirit after guessing that this matter was related to the Black Organization.
"If Miss Shirai really was responsible for Lawyer Tachibana's death, then as long as we solve this case, wouldn't we be able to catch her, or anyone else who was responsible for it?"
Conan secretly clenched his fists: "We must not let the police close the case by accident, but we also cannot expose too many abnormalities... Damn, shouldn't this woman who is suspected to be a cadre of the organization leave immediately after she succeeds? Why is she staying at the scene all the time? She is really in the way."
The strong desire to solve the case and the need to hide her identity created a fierce conflict. A fake elementary school student secretly looked at Miss Shirai and felt uncomfortable all over.
Curacao, whose back began to feel cold again, raised his hand to adjust his hair uncomfortably, and looked at Jiang Xia quietly: "..." What are you looking at? This kid is really endless... Wuzo, take care of your little ghost!
Jiang Xia suddenly turned around and met her eyes.
Curacao: “!!!”
She looked away with regret... Was I actually talking to him in my mind just now? Am I crazy!
Conan: "..." Why is this woman looking at Jiang Xia? And she was looking at him secretly. As soon as Jiang Xia turned around, she avoided his sight. She must be hiding something... She, she is not going to let Jiang Xia take the blame again, just like the female lawyer who died at the Izu beach before?
Jiang Xia was not very interested in the strange perpetual motion machine next to him, because the murderous aura of aloe vera not only did not increase, but seemed to be getting less and less.
So he turned around and paid some attention to the case in front of him. After looking at the body, Jiang Xia asked Officer Inoki who was waiting enthusiastically beside him: "When you fished out Mr. Tachibana, didn't he have a life jacket on him?"
Officer Inoki looked at the junior officers who were investigating the bodies.
The young police officers wiped the water off their faces and shook their heads: "No, when he was in the water, he was wearing what he is wearing now."
Mao Lilan was puzzled when she heard this: "But I remember that when Mr. Tachibana went out fishing this morning, he did wear a life jacket..."
"I see." Officer Inoki scratched his head and guessed, "Although we have regulations that require people to wear life jackets when fishing and working at sea, every time the weather gets hot, some people will take off their life jackets - to be honest, similar accidents happen every year."
Conan caught the key words and his eyes sharpened: "..." As expected, the case was led to the direction of "accident". This was better than accusing Jiang Xia of being the murderer, but not much better...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Jiang Xia say, "But the temperature today is not that high. It won't be too hot on the shore, let alone in the sea where the temperature is lower and the wind is stronger."
Officer Inoki was startled, and vaguely realized something: "You mean, there is another reason why he didn't wear a life jacket?"
At this time, a short man wearing a baseball cap and holding a pipe passed by and squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement.
Seeing the wet body on the ground and hearing what the police and Jiang Xia were discussing, he sighed with regret: "How could this happen? I clearly reminded him that it was high tide and he had to be extra careful when fishing... I didn't expect the tragedy to happen anyway."
Officer Inoki: “!” In that case, isn’t the possibility that the deceased took off his life jacket on his own initiative even lower?
"As soon as Jiang Xia raised the question, a passing witness came forward to prove it..." He sighed in his heart:
"You are worthy of being a famous detective! Some detectives have to wait for clues to appear before they can solve the case, while some detectives can actually predict the appearance of clues - no wonder those colleagues in Tokyo praised Jiang Xia so highly. Now it seems that they were not bragging, but describing the case truthfully!"
The police officer was obviously not very good at hiding his expression. Curacao looked at him with admiration and his eyes twitched slightly: "..." What is there to admire about this - as a policeman, don't you think that the appearance of this witness is too coincidental?
