Chapter 3331 3343 [Bourbon's Black Hand]
Inspector Megure: "Finally, you just need to throw the bike from the top of the mountain and break it, then pick it up on the winding road below, throw it into the bushes, and then return to the camp as if nothing happened."
"After meeting up with the others at the campsite, you drive the RV up the mountain with them - everyone is chatting and laughing in the back, not paying any attention to what's happening outside the car.
"And you, you just need to ignore the body on the ground when you go up the mountain, and then shout and pretend that you suddenly discovered it when you go down the mountain. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
Amuro Toru glanced at this middle-aged colleague who was always talking about irrelevant things and paying attention to his tires: "..."
Although the details were still completely wrong, this person's reasoning had actually become more reliable than before. At least he had really started to use his brain... It seemed that after spending a long time with Jiang Xia, people would indeed undergo a qualitative change - like that first-grade student with glasses.
If you ignore his childish appearance, his tone and actions sometimes sound like an adult.
"However, although that kid named Conan stayed with Jiang Xia for a long time..." Amuro Toru touched his chin thoughtfully, "but can this level of influence really produce such a huge change in a person?"
Looking at the bespectacled elementary school student who was quietly listening to the testimony and seemed to be reasoning about something on his own, Toru Amuro always felt that there was something wrong with this kid.
Beside him, Jiang Xia glanced at his absent-minded boss, shook his head, and said to Inspector Megure, "This method sounds simple, but it's a bit complicated to implement."
"That's right!" Huangmao slammed the table and stood up to defend himself. "When I was driving, there was indeed no one sitting in the passenger seat staring at the road - but look for yourselves, the body is right here!"
He strode out of the RV and pointed to where the body lay. "Her head was in the middle of the road, and her body was lying across half the road. If I didn't want to run her over when I went up the mountain, I would have had to drastically adjust the vehicle's route. If I had done that, even if the people in the back seat were slow-witted, they would have noticed it on the spot."
Fanhe Takuto also nodded. "And I remember when we got to this section of road, we opened the skylight and stood outside to look at the scenery. If there really was a body on the road, Mr. Jiang Xia would have seen it right there."
"Jiang Xia?" Officer Sato, who was constantly recording, was stunned when he heard this and understood something.
She looked at Jiang Xia speechlessly and whispered, "Stick your head out of the sunroof while driving on a high-speed mountain road—do you know how dangerous that is?"
Jiang Xia looked helpless and whispered, "Those college students said there was a surprise here, so I came out to take a look. I'm riding in someone's car, so I have to cooperate a little when they're setting up a surprise."
"They said there was a surprise, so you stuck your head out to look? What if there's a piece of wire hanging on the road ahead, waiting for you to crash into it?" Officer Sato thought more and more about it, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You're a famous detective. Although many criminals are wary of you, there are always one or two extremely vicious ones. If they think killing you will allow them to escape punishment, they will definitely kill you."
Jiang Xia looked at her and found that the police officer had entered the same state as when he advised him not to speed, so he nodded very skillfully: "Okay, I won't watch it next time."
When the next time comes, we’ll talk about it next time.
Seeing her persuasion was effective, Officer Sato nodded secretly. A moment later, she belatedly remembered something: "So what exactly is this 'surprise' they're talking about?"
"It's fireworks." Jiang Xia pointed out through the car window. "There were fireworks going off in that direction. It was really quite something to watch through the skylight—it's a pity that I didn't get to see them for a second before they were blocked by this mountain."
When the three college students saw the two of them whispering together, they immediately became alert, fearing that the detective and the police were discussing something that was unfavorable to them.
So the three of them pricked up their ears, quietly moved their bodies, and got closer to eavesdrop...and then they heard the two people actually talking about fireworks.
"You are talking about this." The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Fanhe Takuto said:
"We discovered that fireworks can be seen along this road when we went on an outing here last year. Watching fireworks on the mountainside is different from watching them on the top of the mountain. The fireworks there look more dazzling."
Tiantang Qinghua also said, "Because we parked our car incorrectly before and caused those two gentlemen to get into an accident, we thought we might as well give these children the chance to watch the fireworks this time. It can be considered a small way of making amends."
Huang Mao obviously knew this too: "The only place where you can see the fireworks is at the corner, and it lasts less than 10 seconds - we don't let ordinary people see it."
Inspector Megure wasn't interested in the fireworks. He persistently asked the other passengers, "Did you really not notice the RV swerve drastically when it passed the body?"
"No." Jiang Xia looked around and then looked up at the skylight. "But speaking of those precious 10-second fireworks—the car is parked right now, and it seems we can see them."
Conan, who was thinking hard about something: "!"
He looked at Jiang Xia, then subconsciously followed Jiang Xia's line of sight and looked up at the skylight.
A moment later, the mini detective, who suddenly understood something, shuddered as if he had been electrocuted. Then he jumped up, turned around and rushed out of the car, turned on the flashlight on his watch, and rushed in a certain direction.
After a quick run, something suddenly appeared in Conan's field of vision.
It was a green picnic blanket with a smooth surface. It was blown by the wind and stuck to the railing. When you ran closer, you could see that it was stained with a large, heart-pounding patch of blood.
"Found it!" Conan smiled a sharp detective smile, as if he had found an important piece of the puzzle.
He was about to go forward to take a closer look, but at this moment, a hand rested on his shoulder from behind.
Conan jumped in surprise and turned around. The next moment, a face that almost melted into the night suddenly rushed into his sight.
——Toru Amuro!
Why did this suspicious guy follow me? What did he see? What does he want to do?
Conan subconsciously put his hand on his watch and pressed down his anesthetic needle weapon.
However, Toru Amuro did not make any threatening moves.
The boss of the detective agency simply looked at him, then at the piece of plastic sheeting on the ground, and then revealed a slightly intriguing smile: "Kid, it's great to have found important evidence, but don't mess with it."
