Chapter 3288 3300 [Judy's Poisonous Plan]
As the police officers struggled to think, Jiang Xia continued thoughtfully, "This is a messy house. Even if there was light, Officer Gao Mu stumbled twice when he walked over just now. When the murderer committed the crime, the lights in the living room were off. But the murderer was able to walk to the sofa quietly without making any noise, and then left quietly."
Officer Takagi's face turned red: "..." I tripped so secretly, how did you see it!
He cleared his throat quickly, praying that Sato Miwako next to him didn't hear him, and quickly focused the topic on the main topic: "If that's the case... That's right! If the murderer didn't take the two steps of 'coming over' and 'running away', he wouldn't have made any noise in the dark!"
Thinking of this, he flipped through the records in his notebook and looked at the young brown-haired man: "Mr. Hoshima, I remember that besides the deceased, you were also catching up on sleep in the living room - and you were sleeping on another sofa not far away."
Officer Megure nodded thoughtfully. "There are no signs of prying on the door of this apartment. In other words, we can rule out the possibility of a burglar."
The young brown-haired man felt more and more that something was wrong with the conversation, and cold sweat broke out. He interrupted quickly, "I didn't kill anyone! I was sleeping at the time, and I was woken up by Gucun's sudden scream. And, although I rented this house, I'm not the only one who has the key!"
He pointed out the window and said, "This apartment is very close to our workplace. It's very convenient for us to come here to rest or have dinner together. So I gave the key to several other colleagues who I have a good relationship with. With the key, any of them can come in at will!"
"'Several' colleagues who have a good relationship?" Inspector Megure's head suddenly got bigger when he heard this.
There were no pry marks on the door, so the murderer was either the young brown-haired man who slept next to the deceased, or someone else who came in with the key - in other words, if there was one more person with the key to this place, there would be one more suspect.
...Forget it, as long as I have Brother Jiang Xia here, it won’t make any difference if there are a few less of them.
Inspector Megure comforted himself and said seriously, "Who has the key? Call them over and ask them."
The young brown-haired man breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and took out his phone.
While searching through his address book, he explained to the police, "In addition to Gucun, there are two more keys to this apartment. I remember I gave them to Tang Tian and Genshan respectively."
——Karada is the middle-aged man who invited Kudo Yukiko to visit, but when she really came, he went to work overtime. And Genzen is the middle-parted man who introduced the Toudou Phenomenon Institute to tourists with him before.
The young brown-haired man finally found his colleague's number and was about to dial it when a hand reached out and pressed his phone.
"Wait." Jiang Xia smiled, "I remember that Mr. Tang Tian and Mr. Furumura should still be working overtime at the Dongdu Phenomenon Institute. Anyway, it's very close, why don't Officer Sato bring a few people to invite them over."
Sato Miwako was startled for a moment, then she understood and nodded solemnly: "I'll go right away."
- What if the murderer is really one of those two people, and he runs away out of fear after hearing the police summons?
Not only would it be considered dereliction of duty, but it would also take twice as much effort to find the person. It would be much better to bring the person there safely, and then wait for Jiang Xia to find the person and feel relieved.
Moreover, the police accompanied them on the way here, which could prevent the two people from colluding with each other. Besides, maybe after the pressure of traveling with the police, the real murderer would reveal more flaws? - Jiang Xia was thoughtful.
Thinking of this, Officer Sato was prepared for the other party to escape, and selected four burly men to go with him to the Dongdu Phenomenon Institute to pick up the person.
…
In the residential area between the Dongdu Phenomenon Institute and the apartment where the crime occurred.
Judy once again returned to her old car and stared intently at the two alley entrances.
Although she knew rationally that there was little hope, she still couldn't help but dream, praying that the hateful and scary guy had not had time to escape and was about to escape in these two directions, and then she ran into him and caught him on the spot.
She stared and stared, but didn't see any suspicious figures coming out. Instead, she suddenly saw five or six strange figures coming from the opposite side of the street, passing through the alley she was staring at, and going straight into the alley.
"Who is it?"
Judy immediately became alert: this area was far away from the city center. Although it was not too remote, there were very few pedestrians outside at this time.
In this situation, suddenly five or six people walked forward side by side with murderous intent. Could they be members of that organization?
No, the woman in the lead seems familiar...
Frowning and thinking hard, Judy finally remembered.
"Isn't this the policewoman?" She slapped her forehead and sighed, "When I first met Jiang Xia, I was forced to deal with the police every day - this female police officer appeared quite often."
Realizing the source of the familiar feeling, she didn't dare to delay, and quickly adjusted her headphones, and seriously reminded Akai Shuichi: "Be careful, there are police coming in from my side, a total of 5 people, you be careful to avoid them!"
"Police?" The FBI who were also searching the alley were shocked. "Didn't they say they were here for a murder case? Didn't they hear any gunshots?"
Judy felt a headache: "Who knows what they are thinking? Maybe they plan to investigate two cases at the same time because there are so many people here?"
It was Akai Shuichi who first understood. He looked at the blurry building in the distance and said, "I remember you just said that the victim of the nearby homicide was a staff member of the Toudou Phenomenon Institute. If that's the case, this alley is right between the crime scene and the Toudou Phenomenon Institute. They might be looking for witnesses."
"Oh, oh, so that's it." After hearing what he said, Judy looked around and realized that it seemed to be true.
As expected of Shuichi, in such a messy place, he can still remember which side is which...
But no matter what, this is good news. Judy breathed a sigh of relief and an idea suddenly occurred to her: "In this case, things will be easier. You guys just hide for a while and wait for them to pass before coming out!"
…
Anyway, the police were just passing by. A large-scale avoidance would indeed disrupt the current investigation.
What Judy said sounded reasonable, so Shuichi Akai simply asked them to hide nearby and stay there for a while.
So some people climbed up trees and squatted in the dark treetops, some hid in garbage collection bins and covered their lids with their noses pinched, and some crouched down and crawled behind the car, making eye contact with the wild cat whose territory they had taken over, while waiting for the police to arrive.
Not long after, a series of messy footsteps passed by... and then stopped.
The FBI in a tough environment: “……?”
