Chapter 3258 3270 [Twin Maids]
This small victory comforted Conan's weathered heart: he had long discovered that Jiang Xia didn't like to touch or smell anything when solving a case. And if the clue of perfume was missing, without seeing Mrs. Suhua's handwriting, even Jiang Xia would not be able to guess who left the postcard...
Jiang Xia: "Mrs. Suhua."
Conan: “…”
Conan: "???!" How did you know? Did I miss some clues again?!
His eyes widened in shock, and his brain, running at an extremely high speed, began to replay all the information related to Mrs. Suhua like a machine, trying to find clues from it.
But before he could come up with anything, Jiang Xia said, "Also, the person who sent those two threatening letters and the bullet..."
"?!!" Conan's eyes widened even more. You know this too?!
It had only been a short while since I entered the door, and I hadn't smelled any clues, but Jiang Xia actually... How was this possible? ?
There were ups and downs, followed by another big down, and Conan felt miserable.
At this time, Jiang Xia continued slowly: "The person who sent the two threatening letters and the bullet is not so easy to find. We have to look for other clues."
Conan: “…”
The corners of a mini detective's eyes were twitching wildly, and his mood was as complicated as if he had just jumped off a bungee jumping machine out of control.
He was about to speak when Mrs. Suhua beside him interrupted impatiently, "What are you mumbling about? Have you found the person who sent the threatening letter?"
Jiang Xia left the elementary school students who had had enough fun, turned to look at her, and said seriously: "There are too few clues. The most appropriate way now is to work backwards from the motive - I want to meet the person who was sent the threatening letter first and get a general idea of the situation from him."
Mrs. Suhua looked at her watch and said in embarrassment: "But at this time... I'm afraid my husband won't see guests."
The old butler explained, "The master is in the audio-visual room, enjoying classical music and reading a book. This is his own leisure time, and no one is allowed to disturb him. If you want to find him to understand the situation, you have to wait for another hour or two until he comes out."
"Yes." Mrs. Suhua was still frightened. "If we interrupt him at this time, he will definitely be very angry!"
Conan was a little speechless: "..." His life was so leisurely, it seemed that the man really didn't take those two threatening letters seriously at all.
Kudo Yukiko agrees with him on this matter. The actress who has acted in many detective films and read many detective novels stroked her chin. She always felt that this kind of alone time was not good. She muttered: "Is it really okay for him to be alone at this critical moment?"
"Yeah, so my brother-in-law is really bold." Fujieda Shigeru shook his head helplessly, "If it were in my mystery novel, now would be the best time to murder him."
Mrs. Suhua was alert: "What do you want to do to him!"
Fujieda Shigeru came back to his senses and quickly shook his head: "I was just thinking about the plot... Let's not talk about this - since you are worried about this, why don't you go and see my brother-in-law's condition with your own eyes."
Mrs. Suhua snorted: "If you want to go, go by yourself. He's in a bad mood recently, and I don't want to run into him."
Fujieda Shigeru smiled bitterly: "I don't want to either, but have you forgotten - we don't even need to go to his room, we just need to check the surveillance."
…
Although this poor young master had no sense of existence at home, the old butler still gave him face and quickly brought everyone to the monitoring room according to his suggestion.
There is a huge screen here, which is made up of different surveillance images.
The old housekeeper operated it and quickly found the surveillance camera in the audio-visual room and zoomed in to the center.
Jiang Xia came to the screen and looked up at the scene in front of him - the surveillance camera was installed in a corner of the room. In the slightly distorted lens, Fujieda Kan'ao was sitting on a soft chair in the middle of the room, reading a book and drinking black tea leisurely.
There was nothing worth appreciating in the whole picture. He glanced at it, then lowered his head and looked at the touch screen on the desktop. On the screen, there was a floor plan of the entire villa.
"There are so many rooms, and the number of surveillance cameras is a bit insufficient." Kudo Yukiko likes these high-tech things very much. She looked at the floor plan and pointed with her finger, "This is the audio-visual room, right? We are in the surveillance room over here... These two rooms are quite far apart, spanning most of the villa."
Jiang Xia looked at the old housekeeper: "Is there anyone on duty in this monitoring room normally?"
"There is no fixed person on duty." The old housekeeper raised his hand and called to the door, signaling the people outside to come in. "Usually, I and these two maids take turns on duty."
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid in a black and white dress walked in calmly from the door with her hands folded in front of her.
Conan raised his head, originally just taking a casual look, but when he saw the woman's face clearly, he exclaimed in surprise: "It's you!"
"Hmm?" The old butler looked at the elementary school student in confusion, "Do you know Miss Shimokasa?"
Conan: "..." Do you recognize them... Aren't these the twin maids from Mrs. Sufang's house who died a while ago?
Speaking of which, why is there only one person? Where is the other one?
Mao Lilan also noticed this familiar-looking maid. When she heard the old housekeeper's question, she was worried that the elementary school student might say something wrong, so she quickly spoke before Conan could answer, "We met Miss Shimokasa at her house when we visited a philanthropist's wife before."
- Of course, as for what happened later, such as the fact that the philanthropist's wife was actually doing all kinds of evil things behind the scenes, and that the philanthropist's wife was stabbed to death in the secret room by her adopted son with a long dragon made of a string of masks that night, and the fact that the two twins lost their jobs because of this... she didn't say anything.
After all, the reason the twin maids appeared here was probably because their previous employer died and they had to find another job. As far as Mao Li Ran knew, some employers were very superstitious and thought this was unlucky... In short, although she was not a close friend, Mao Li Ran felt a little sympathy for these two unemployed maids who were involved in a murder case, so she decided to keep it a secret.
After explaining in a roundabout way, she looked at Jiang Xia quietly, hoping that Jiang Xia could understand what she meant.
Jiang Xia didn't spoil the show, but changed the subject in a tacit manner. He greeted one of the twin maids in front of him: "Ms. Shimogisa, long time no see."
Torimaru Naoko looked at him deeply, her mood was a little turbulent, but she maintained the politeness and professionalism that a maid who was not familiar with him should have. She bowed slightly and said, "Long time no see."
