Chapter 3287 3299 [Catch Uzo! ]
As she was talking, Judy's eyes lit up, and she suddenly had another guess: "Perhaps, perhaps this is how Uzo escaped! - He first used some method to disappear from your sight, hid nearby, and then used a murder case to attract the police, so that you had to hide in order to avoid the police. In this way, there would be a gap in the encirclement, and he could take the opportunity to leave!"
Shuichi Akai held the headphones and observed the surroundings from the place where Uzo disappeared, while listening to Judy describe the situation at the alley.
Although he always felt that what his colleague said was wrong, strictly speaking, he could not completely rule out this possibility.
...However, no matter what, it's good news that the police didn't set their sights on this alley.
This gave them more time to search for Wuzo - even if they couldn't find him, they could better observe the place where Wuzo disappeared.
Mistakes are not terrible, what is terrible is not knowing why mistakes are made. And if you can see through Uzo's disappearing trick this time, then the chance of catching him next time will be a little higher.
The other FBI agents who were traumatized by the "going to the police station for tea" incident also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Judy's words: "Maybe the people in this alley haven't heard gunshots very often, so they don't know it's a gunshot, or they are so asleep that they didn't hear it, so they don't bother to care."
"Anyway, this is a good opportunity. Let's work harder, work overtime earlier and leave work earlier!"
A group of FBI encouraged each other and threw themselves into the intense work of catching Uzo.
…
The other side.
In an apartment building near the Dongdu Phenomenon Institute.
Uzo had already gone off duty, but "Uzo" was still hard at work - except that Matsuda Jinpei's puppets had dispersed, leaving only one ghost fetus to join the busy team of killing people.
I have already said hello and opened the gate. Now I don’t need to continue to show up nearby to continue to absorb the colorless murderous aura that keeps gushing out.
Jiang Xia was very satisfied with tonight's harvest.
While letting the ghosts go to work, he walked around the crime scene, asked the terrified children about the situation, and then welcomed the police who were responsible for cleaning up the mess.
…
Although it was late at night, the detectives of the First Investigation Division had undoubtedly started working overtime again, but they did not have much resistance and resigned themselves to their fate and got busy.
Soon, Officer Gao Mu brought the collected information to Jiang Xia: "The person who was killed is Mr. Furumura Dehong, 39 years old, a salesperson at the Dongdu Phenomenon Institute."
"The cause of his death should be this knife here - stabbed from above, piercing through the thin blanket and stabbing into the heart."
Inspector Megure looked at this tactless subordinate, cleared his throat in a very noticeable manner, and came over.
He looked at the thin blanket and touched his chin. "It seems the murderer had planned it in advance. He used this blanket as a cushion so that the blood from the murder would not splash onto him."
"Um..." A young man in a work uniform scratched his brown hair and spoke nervously, "This blanket was probably not used by the murderer, but was covered by Gucun himself before he died. Although this room is my apartment, it is close to our unit, so other people would come here every now and then to take a nap."
"It's the same today. Our film negatives will be completely finished tonight, so Gucun and I plan to go to bed early so that we can celebrate all night long."
"Movies?" Inspector Megure belatedly remembered something and looked at Jiang Xia, "Speaking of this, brother Jiang Xia, why are you here?"
——Only then did he realize that he seemed to have become accustomed to seeing this elusive brother at the crime scene, and he had actually forgotten to ask this question just now.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I came here with these kids to watch the preview of that movie. We were supposed to be able to watch it at 7pm, but something went wrong and we can only watch it after 11pm. The kids were looking forward to the movie, so we planned to sleep here first and watch it in the evening after we have enough energy. I couldn't sleep, and I wasn't afraid of staying up late, so I went to the convenience store across the street to hang out. I also heard that there was a murder here, so I hurried back."
"I see." Officer Gao Mu's eyes lit up and he bent down to look at the children. "In other words, you are all eyewitnesses to this murder?"
——Although the validity of children’s testimony is somewhat controversial, if we can learn the details of the murder from them, then as long as we follow the investigation, we will definitely find solid evidence.
If it was an ordinary child who witnessed such a bloody scene, Officer Gao Mu might worry that the child would have psychological trauma. However, these children in front of him...should not have such concerns.
Sure enough, the three children who were questioned did not panic. They glanced at Jiang Xia quietly, and then, like good citizens cooperating with the police investigation, raised their hands and pointed to the bedroom next to the sofa: "When that uncle was killed, we were sleeping in this room with the door closed, sleeping on that bed."
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya went into more detail: "When we were sleeping, we suddenly heard someone screaming 'Ah!!' Then Conan turned on the light and rushed out."
"We went out to see too, and we saw... this uncle lying on the sofa, stabbed to death, and another uncle was beside him, calling him."
Officer Takagi was taking notes carefully. When he finished, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Conan. Although these children were calmer than ordinary children when facing a murder case, in his impression, the child who often followed Jiang Xia was the most calm and reliable.
Thinking of this, just to be on the safe side, he confirmed with Conan who remained silent: "Is that so?"
Conan nodded, shook his head, and added: "When I came out, the curtains in the living room were drawn and the lights were off. The light was very dim. Only the table lamp in the bedroom was on. In this case, there is one thing that is very strange."
He frowned as he looked at the messy living room that made it difficult to walk. "From beginning to end, the only noise in this murder was the screams of the deceased, and the murderer didn't make a single sound."
"This..." Officer Takagi scratched his head. He felt that this statement was weird and scary, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be illogical.
He smiled helplessly and said, "This is normal. In order to escape punishment, the murderer would definitely not talk while killing someone and reveal his identity. Besides, you were sleeping at the time. Even if he really said something to the deceased before he took action, you couldn't hear it."
Jiang Xia shook his head. Although he was not at the scene at the time, he seemed to have seen everything through the children's description: "Let's not talk about the murderer's actions before the crime. The problematic part is actually his retreat after he succeeded."
