Chapter 3244 Chapter 3256 [Inference]
Miwako Sato walked over, squatted down and opened the oven.
Suddenly, a burning smell hit me in the face - Jiang Xia was right, the source of the strange smell was indeed here. But the strange thing was that the oven was empty, with nothing in it.
Jiang Xia looked down, as if thinking for a moment, then turned and walked towards the trash can beside him.
When the lid was opened, a bunch of shriveled flowers appeared in the trash can. The variety was the same as the one that was placed on the shoe cabinet before.
"What is this, dried flowers?" Sato Miwako looked at the object whose style did not match the kitchen trash can. "No, to be precise, it looks more like dried and discarded flowers... Weird, why would flowers become dried like this? This is not a desert."
As she said this, she turned around and found that Jiang Xia was no longer in the kitchen.
Officer Sato: “…Hmm?”
Where are the people?
…
"Brother Jiang Xia?"
A detective disappears in one place and reappears in another.
In the audio-visual room, Inspector Megure looked at Jiang Xia who had returned with a look of surprise: "Did you find something?"
Jiang Xia nodded and looked towards where the dead man fell. In front of her was a huge screen, below the screen was a video player, and above it was a row of inconspicuous cabinets, which were covered by curtains.
Jiang Xia walked over and raised his hand to pull open the curtain. He saw that there were actually quite a few machines in the top cabinet.
When Inspector Megure saw this, he couldn't help but whisper to Goda Hideo: "How many movie cameras did you buy? This room is almost full."
"Haha, there's nothing I can do. The equipment is updated too quickly." Hideo Goda scratched his head and laughed dryly, "So some of the older and less used machines were put in the cabinet above."
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Xia who was looking up at the machine, and said quickly: "Let's draw the curtain. It's covered with dust and it will easily ruin the scene."
"Indeed." Jiang Xia nodded, "After all, this place is the key scene you use to make the timed killing tool."
“Yes, yes…!!” Goda Hideo’s face changed drastically, “What did you say?!”
Inspector Megure's expression suddenly changed, but it was not a look of fear, but joy: "Brother Jiang Xia, do you know who the murderer is?"
Toru Amuro came back to his senses from his thoughts and looked over.
Jiang Xia whispered a few words to Officer Takagi and Officer Sato, then brought Officer Megure and Hideo Goda to the kitchen.
He opened the cupboard and took out two stacked black bowls. When he separated them, Inspector Megure was stunned: "Why does the top bowl have no bottom?"
Hideo Gota said quickly, "Because it's a defective product, it looks like this when I bought it... Well, forget about this bowl for now. Mr. Jiang Xia, you just said that I was the murderer. Is there any misunderstanding in this matter?"
"Jiang Xia!" Before Jiang Xia could answer, Sato Miwako came over from the audio-visual room and said to him, "Everything has been arranged."
"?" Inspector Megure was stunned. "What arrangements?"
"Set up the scenery for solving the case." Jiang Xia pointed to the audio-visual room, "Now, let's go back to the crime scene."
Toru Amuro looked at him, and suddenly he felt like he was seeing a program host and his guests moving around.
After a moment, he came back to his senses and shook his head: It seems that Jiang Xia has been on a lot of variety shows recently and has brought the habits of the entertainment industry with him.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the case is solved - after this case is over, he has two other things that he cares about very much and needs to investigate in detail.
While thinking about this, Toru Amuro sent an email to his Public Security Department, asking him to prepare the information in advance so that he could check it later.
…
Audiovisual room.
Hideo Goda's heart was pounding, and he had a bad feeling. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help but look at the shelf above the big screen.
At this moment, the curtains were all drawn open, and the projector on the shelf was turned on, with a thick stack of videotapes placed in front of it.
Officer Sato noticed his abnormality and recalled what he had heard from Jiang Xia before. He asked meaningfully, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the projector?"
"Ah, no! No problem!" Hideo Goda reacted strongly, and he changed the subject abruptly, "I was just watching the videotapes in front of the projector. It's not safe to put it so high up. What if there's an earthquake?"
Officer Takagi said, "I put it there temporarily. The ground needs to be cleaned up, so I had to put it a little higher. Don't worry, I'll take it down soon."
Jiang Xia walked up to them and started talking about business: "The deceased was hit on the back of the head when he was operating the videotape after watching the entire movie... It's hard to draw conclusions just by imagining it. Let's actually practice it."
He looked at Amuro Toru and said, "Why don't you let Mr. Amuro play the murderer and Mr. Yamaguchi play the victim? The police and the murderer have very different mindsets, so it's easier to recreate the scene if ordinary people play the roles."
Amuro Toru: "..." Ordinary people? You picked out two cadres at random. You really know how to choose people... Speaking of which, I didn't expect Calvados to actually successfully disguise himself as a caring citizen. What exactly is this guy trying to do?
Calvados was inexplicably looked at by him and said: “……?” Why are you looking at me? It has nothing to do with me. I just want to leave quickly.
"Come to think of it, there are so many people here, why did Jiang Xia choose me? Could it be that Bourbon was the one who ordered him to do that?" Calvados sighed in his heart, "I knew this bastard was up to no good."
He didn't want to play the victim. Some intuition and experience told him that getting involved in such a little police drama would never end well.
But before I could figure out how to refuse, I heard Hideo Goda take the initiative and said, "Well, let me play the victim. Mrs. Izuki often comes to my audio-visual room to watch movies. In order to restore the original, the 'victim' must be very familiar with this place."
Jiang Xia did not force it, and nodded regretfully: "Okay, then you come."
…
Although he was supposed to play the victim, most of the work was done by Officer Takagi.
"First, this videotape was put into the projector under the screen... Then the deceased returned to the chair to watch the film."
He looked at Hideo Goda and said, "Mr. Goda, please take a seat."
Hideo Goda sat uneasily in the comfortable chair.
As soon as he sat down, Officer Takagi continued, "Then the deceased finished watching the movie. In order to take out the videotape, she pressed the rewind button and it started rewinding."
Hideo Goda held the remote control, not knowing what he was thinking and not taking any action.
Jiang Xia patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's time to rewind."
