Chapter 3334 3346 [Timing]
"Even if the sunroof was opened and the deceased's belt was loosened, the body would still be lying on the roof for a while."
Inspector Megure suddenly realized he had discovered a blind spot. He stared at the yellow-haired man who used to be a speed racer with a sharp gaze: "In other words, although all three of you can open the sunroof at a specific location, in order to make the body fall, an additional operation is required - that inexplicable sudden braking you did on the way up the mountain!"
"You!" The yellow-haired man slammed his hand on the table and yelled angrily, "Why are you targeting me? What do you mean by sudden braking for no apparent reason? There's a long object lying across the mountain road that should be deserted. Of course I'd brake. I can't just run it over! What if it's a person?"
Inspector Megure was about to speak, but before he could open his mouth, Jiang Xia said, "Don't be impatient. Inspector is just demonstrating the specific method the murderer used to frame you."
"Framed?" Inspector Megure immediately understood what was going on when he heard this. He whispered to Jiang Xia, "The murderer isn't him?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "The RV was going uphill at the time. The body on the roof would have been more likely to slide off than when the vehicle was traveling on flat ground. There was also the plastic mat.
"The reason why there's so much blood on the plastic sheet is because the murderer placed it under the body - it reduces friction and increases the body's surface area exposed to the wind. So when the sunroof opens and the belt loosens, the body wrapped in the plastic sheet will fly out and land on the section of road the murderer needs."
"I see." Inspector Megure said with a heavy heart, "But if that's the case, it seems like all three of us are suspects again..."
He sighed and was about to ask all three of them to go to the police station.
But then, Jiang Xia said again, "Don't bother. Although the murderer has hidden himself well among the crowd, he will inevitably reveal his flaws in the panic."
"If you look closely, you'll find..."
Halfway through his words, his throat became hoarse, and he suddenly closed his mouth and fell silent.
Toru Amuro turned his head to look at him, and snorted without surprise: You have a cold and a fever, but you still insist on staying in the mountains, and you have to come out of the RV from time to time to get some fresh air, and then you talk so much... It would be strange if your voice is not hoarse.
"I hope that after this incident, Jiang Xia will learn his lesson and retreat directly when encountering a similar situation next time." Amuro Toru muttered to himself and was about to help Jiang Xia finish the rest of his reasoning, but suddenly, he thought of something and stopped.
Toru Amuro: "..." Wait, if he remembered correctly, he seemed to have heard Fumi say that in a case related to Jiang Xia, there seemed to be a "kind-hearted passerby" who had appeared.
According to the description of the police officer involved, the man was dressed in black, insisted on wearing sunglasses even on cloudy days, and had fluffy curly hair.
Although no images were left, the combination of various characteristics made Amuro Toru immediately think of a person - the guy who was suspected to be "Uzo".
"If I remember correctly, in that case, Jiang Xia was unable to reason due to a cold.
"Without this detective who could uncover all the truth and see through all the tricks, the case would probably have been closed by the police as a 'suicide'.
"That person suddenly appeared and solved the case himself. Could it be that he couldn't bear the fact that his stage was about to end successfully, but it suddenly ended in a mess? ...If that's the case, then the current situation seems a bit similar to that time."
Amuro Toru stroked his chin, thinking rapidly in his mind: "I don't know if what happened today was just a coincidence brought about by Jiang Xia's physique, or if someone is really plotting behind the scenes... Since that's the case, why not give it a try?"
The worst-case scenario was that the three college students would have to return to the police station for investigation. This would only delay them a little longer, and strictly speaking, it was actually safer to take a police car back than to return alone from the mountains.
A police officer quickly ignored the slight pang of conscience and firmly kept his mouth shut.
Inspector Megure, who was waiting for the next words: "..."
After a brief pause, he quickly waved his hand to his subordinates: "Water! Go get some water!"
Conan: "..." Does water really work? Jiang Xia was drinking all the time, but in the end, she couldn't hold it anymore? - Since Jiang Xia can't do it, why don't I take over here...
The desire to reason is stirring in my heart.
But before he could utter "How strange!", he caught a glimpse of Amuro Toru standing beside him, and remembered the suspicious boss who was like a ghost behind the blood-stained plastic sheet he had found not long ago...
After hesitating for a moment, Conan finally decided to be safe.
He pulled Jiang Xia and made some sneaky gestures, asking Jiang Xia to sit on the sofa in the RV.
He quietly walked around behind the chair and took out the bow voice changer.
"I've helped Mr. Maori with his deductions a few times before, and even gave him the nickname 'Sleeping Kogoro'... I never thought this strange experience would come in handy right now.
Conan sighed with mixed feelings, then continued with Jiang Xia's words, "If you look closely, you'll find that the murderer actually revealed a significant flaw."
"Uh..." Inspector Megure looked at Jiang Xia who suddenly walked into the car with some confusion, "Brother Jiang Xia, is your throat okay?"
“…” Jiang Xia nodded.
Conan behind him said very into the play: "The mountain wind is too strong outside, it will be fine if we get in the car and sit down now."
Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
After failing in his attempt, Toru Amuro said: "..."
However, although Wu Zuo was not brought out this time, it seems that something else was brought out? - What was that kid doing suddenly behind Jiang Xia? And wasn't Jiang Xia's condition getting better a bit sudden?
A cunning undercover agent narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was not right.
Conan, hiding behind the sofa, couldn't observe anyone's expressions.
Seeing that the groundwork was almost complete, he pinched the bow-tie voice changer and got straight to the point: "Can you get the three suspects to stand in the middle of the RV?"
"What three suspects? How rude." Huangmao cursed, but also hoped that the matter would end soon, so he walked out with the other two classmates and stood in the middle of the RV.
Jiang Xia's voice rang out: "Look carefully, the flaw is in their clothes."
"clothing?"
Everyone observed for a while, and finally it was Ayumi Yoshida who spoke first.
The elementary school student was surprised to discover something. She pointed at Tiantang Qinghua's lower back and said hesitantly, "Sister Qinghua's belt seems to be missing a hole!"
