Chapter 401: Refusing to Watch the Show Starts with Me (Anti-theft Extra)
Yamazaki Tsuneo's fingers were abnormally curled up. When he turned over his palm, he could see that the skin where his palm had touched the fishing rod had been charred, leaving a dark, hideous mark.
Sayuri Kaihara was squatting next to Jiang Xia. When she saw this scene, she was stunned.
After a moment, she raised her head in the direction Jiang Xia had just checked, and her eyes fell on the lamppost next to her and the small part of the exposed electrical wire.
She suddenly remembered that the lights on the ship had flickered briefly just now.
Then look at the place where the fishing rod fell...
As someone who often floats on the sea, Sayuri Kaihara immediately had the corresponding scene in her mind.
——The fishing line broke, and the person who was struggling to pull the rod fell backward, knocking over the fishing bucket. The conductive carbon fishing rod happened to fall on the exposed wire, and he was electrocuted to death.
...This seems to be an electric shock accident, and the cause of the tragedy was that their boat had safety hazards.
"I'm sorry." Kaihara Sayuri nervously clutched her apron. "We just overhauled it last week. If I had known, I should have been more careful then. Or, or I should have come to check more often..."
"No need to apologize so quickly."
Jiang Xia half-crouched beside the corpse, poked the warm shikigami that gradually emerged from Yamazaki Tsuneo, and gently pulled it. Then he let go and watched it float towards Kawai Kazuyuki.
Kazuyuki Kawai is seriously playing the role of an innocent fisherman who "just woke up and doesn't know what happened" - he feels that he, a person who fainted with the deceased, looks like an innocent victim who has been on the verge of death.
Noticing someone looking over here, Kawai and Yuki turned their heads slightly and looked calmly at the enthusiastic young man who came to help after hearing the noise.
Then the more I looked at it, the more familiar it looked.
“…”
This guy...why does he look so much like the detective that often appears in newspapers?!
...This is Tottori! Hasn't he always been active in Tokyo? !
The two sides looked at each other briefly.
Kawai Kayuki saw that the Tokyo detective had a thoughtful look on his face.
After a while, Kawai Kazuyuki saw Jiang Xia turned his head and whispered to Kaihara Sayuri: "Increasing the frequency of maintenance cannot avoid "accidents" like today.
"—because this was more like murder than an accident."
"!!"
The two people on the deck were alert at the same time.
Sayuri Kaihara was confused for a moment, then slowly turned around and looked at Kawai Kazuyuki, her eyes gradually becoming suspicious.
Jiang Xia turned his eyes and looked around, feeling slightly relieved.
This time, the crime scene is quite small, so there is no need to run around punching in to collect clues. Just taking a few simple steps should be enough.
…
Gin is still staying up late today.
After all, he was on someone else's ship, so he was still a little worried. He also rested for a while in the hotel during the day and recharged some batteries, so he was full of energy now.
I was concentrating on checking the reply email from that gentleman when there was a sudden knock on the door, and the sound sounded a little hurried.
Gin turned his head and looked at the door. Soon, he put down his phone, reached for the gun in his pocket, walked over and slowly opened the door a crack.
Vodka appeared outside the door: "Brother! There is indeed someone dead on the boat..."
"Shut up." Gin interrupted coldly.
A dead person is dead. Adding "as expected" is because you are afraid that others will not find Wuzo.
He turned his head and looked at the silent corridor, remembering that there were only two guests in the cabin besides the three people from the organization, and those two guests should be at the murder scene now, so no one heard what Vodka said.
There is no need to rush to silence him for now.
Gin retracted his gaze and opened the door with a stern face: "Come in."
Vodka moved in carefully and asked in a low voice: "Brother, don't you want to go over and take a look?"
"No need." Gin refused coldly, "If you encounter any cases related to him in the future, ignore them."
As long as he refuses to become a spectator of Uzo's drama, he will know that it is useless to force others to stay, and he will not do things like "sinking the ship and asking teammates to change a ship that can watch the case" in the future - otherwise, if he only relies on Uzo's self-control... Ha, it seems that at present, Uzo has no self-control at all when it comes to pursuing the case, and this will only go on endlessly.
Vodka didn't think it was that complicated. After hearing what Gin said, he nodded and decided not to go out.
At the same time, he was secretly happy: Big Brother began to take the initiative to reduce contact with Uzo. In this way, the possibility of Big Brother Gin being deceived by Uzo and shooting his younger brother will drop sharply... Great.
…
When the "electric shock accident" occurred, the ship was closer to the island.
Therefore, when Captain Kaihara heard that the passenger had been electrocuted, he did not return the same way, but came to the nearest island - there was not only a police station but also a hospital, so maybe he could be saved...
The deck is filled with sea breeze.
Jiang Xia glanced at Kawai Kazuyuki, who was leaning against the side of the boat with a grim look on his face, and did not solve the case immediately. If it was solved now, he would have to collect evidence again when the police arrived, so it would be better to tell them all at once when the time comes.
The boat quickly approached the shore.
Since the police had been called in advance, there were a row of police cars and an ambulance parked on the shore at this time.
In addition, there are several hard-working reporters who work late at night for performance.
Jiang Xia looked at the shore from afar.
Before getting off the boat, he used the excuse that the seaside was too cold at night and he had not made any preparations, so he borrowed a plain scarf from Sayuri Kaihara.
Sayuri Kaihara handed over the scarf, looked up at him for a while, and quickly ran to the kitchen to make ginger soup. It was so late, I should drink something warm, so that I could solve the case faster...
…
The police were busy dealing with the bodies and investigating the scene.
Since this does look like an accident, and the incident happened on the deck, and the cause of death is clear, the police have not yet contacted other passengers for questioning.
In the relatively quiet cabin.
Gin glanced at an email with a serious look.
Soon, he put away his phone, picked up his briefcase and stood up: "Let's go."
"Oh, OK." Vodka responded instinctively. He was a little confused as to why he didn't wait for Uzo, but Gin was in a hurry and there were many policemen on the deck, so Vodka finally kept silent and just followed Gin silently, and the two of them quietly walked off the boat together.
…
Jiang Xia described the crime process in the most concise terms possible.
Just after dealing with the police, reporters swarmed over again.
There are very few high school detectives active here, so the reporters who rushed over after hearing the news were particularly enthusiastic and asked questions one after another.
Jiang Xia answered them one by one as comprehensively as possible.
During this time, he found that the mermaid was trying to pull his ears, and Miss Spider was standing at his feet with her sleeves gathered up. She looked up at him and tapped his calf politely with her hooked claws, as if she had something to ask him.
Jiang Xia took some time out of his busy schedule to listen to the news they brought.
Then they learned that Gin had just left the Kaihara secretly. Just now, since he and Vodka had walked a short distance away, if the ghosts wanted to continue following them, they needed Jiang Xia to supply some murderous aura.
