Chapter 437 Friendly Fights
After sending the police away, Manager Masuo strode to the door of the room where the exercise bike was located and unscrewed the door handle.
...but he couldn't push the door open.
——The door is locked.
Normally, Zeng Wei Jiadai never has the habit of locking the door of her room. When she is exercising, she likes to open the doors and windows for ventilation.
But today, she circled the photo album with a red pen, called a young and handsome detective, and held the photo album in her hands, thinking about the appropriate words and the pitiful expression she should have when she was talking... After all, this was her husband's house, so she couldn't help feeling guilty, so in the afternoon, Masuo Kayo tightened the lock.
...This undoubtedly caused great trouble to her husband who wanted to destroy the evidence.
Manager Zengwei was unable to turn the doorknob and stared at the locked door, cold sweat dripping down his face.
He quickly glanced in the direction of the police behind him, but there was a wall blocking the way and the two sides could not see each other.
Manager Masuo calmed down a little. He gritted his teeth and walked quickly to the study.
...Don't panic. There are spare keys for the doors at home. Although they haven't been used for several years, he is a very organized person and has a rough idea of where the keys are placed.
The second floor was very large, and the two policemen would need quite some time to search. He had plenty of time to destroy the evidence...
…
Manager Masuo was busy rummaging through the drawers in the study.
The scene on the second floor was not quite what he had imagined.
Miwako Sato didn't even make it to the second floor before she turned out of the yard.
——When she stepped onto the stairs just now, she vaguely saw a suspicious figure passing by through the window of the side room.
Officer Sato instantly became alert.
——They arrived very quickly. Although when the robber discovered that Mrs. Masuo was on the phone when she was attacked, she might have realized that her whereabouts had been exposed and would have fled the scene as soon as possible, but there was no guarantee that there would be anyone brave enough to stay and search for valuables.
In addition, even if they are not suspects, the people who sneaked into the yard should be able to provide them with a lot of information.
Thinking of this, Sato Miwako said to Takagi, "You go to the second floor, I'll go to the yard to check", then she quickly climbed over the open window and entered the yard.
As she landed, she looked around vigilantly and soon caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing hem from the corner of the room.
...Sure enough, there is someone there.
That person went around to the back of the house. What was he trying to do? !
Sato Miwako frowned, feeling that things were not simple, and quickly rushed around the corner.
I thought I would have to chase it for another while.
Unexpectedly, the "suspicious person" stopped less than two meters away from the corner. Officer Sato was surprised, and with a step of his long legs, he was already carried to the side of the "suspicious person" by inertia.
The suddenly shortened distance made Officer Sato, who had been fighting on the front line for a long time, feel a little sense of crisis - when the Masuo couple came to the police station to take a statement, she already knew about the couple's situation and knew that there were only the two of them living in this house and no one else.
And now, Mr. Masuo is looking for his wife in the house. As for Mrs. Masuo... Although it was only a quick glance, the person in front of him was obviously a man, and it was impossible that he was the lady who screamed not long ago. In short, even if the "suspicious person" was not a criminal, he was at least a thief who broke into the house illegally.
This thought flashed through her mind, and without having time to think about it, Sato Miwako grabbed the other person's shoulder, intending to capture and pin him down first.
However, the man suddenly pulled his hand away as if he had eyes behind his back and dodged to the side.
He dodged so quickly... When the fight started, instinct was faster than thinking. By the time Sato came to her senses, she had already hugged the "suspicious person's" waist from behind and made her favorite preparatory move for the German bridge throw.
Suspicious person Jiang Xia: "..."
...Is Officer Sato shortsighted?
Almost a second has passed, and haven't you noticed that she is about to inflict a heavy blow to her friendly forces?
Jiang Xia grabbed the external pipe in front of him to steady himself, intending to give him a subtle reminder.
But before he could say anything, a muffled groan came from behind him.
Immediately afterwards, the force on the waist suddenly loosened.
Miwako Sato closed her eyes sleepily and fell to the ground.
"……?"
Jiang Xia supported her and turned around to see a child in the corner holding an anesthetic watch with a slightly dazed expression, as if he was in trouble.
——Conan followed.
Jiang Xia glanced at Sato Miwako who had fallen asleep instantly, and then silently turned to Conan who had caused this scene: "…Why did you stab her?"
They were all acquaintances, so a shout should be enough to solve the problem... But now, Sato Miwako was asleep, and he had to find another eyewitness who would be easy enough...
Conan closed the watch cover awkwardly: "...I didn't react just now."
——As a detective who is extremely good at observation, Conan and Sato Miwako noticed the suspicious figure outside the window at the same time as they stepped onto the stairs.
After Officer Sato chased out, Conan immediately opened the cover of the anesthetic watch and hurriedly followed, intending to anaesthetize the "suspicious person" depending on the situation.
Because of his short legs and slow running speed, by the time Conan arrived, the two people behind the house had already started a one-sided fight.
Conan heard some noises of fighting and rushed out to take a look. At a glance, he saw Jiang Xia and the "sneak attacker" behind him who was about to throw him in a dangerous posture.
Since Conan's mind was full of "anestheticizing the suspicious person" at the moment, and he was more familiar with Jiang Xia, when he saw this scene, he reflexively released the anesthetic needle.
Then, he found that he seemed to be nervous and accidentally attacked the police...
...Next time I should look carefully before taking action.
Conan took a second to briefly summarize his mistakes.
Then he spent another 0.1 seconds forgetting this summary and looked at Jiang Xia: "Why are you here?"
"A client asked me to deliver a cat to me, but when I knocked on the door just now, no one came to open it. Plus, when she called me earlier, her tone was very nervous, as if it was related to something important. I was worried that something had happened, so I wanted to go to the lighted room to check, and I met Officer Sato on the way."
When Conan heard this reason, he nodded in understanding. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Jiang Xia breaking into someone else's yard - if it were him, he would probably do the same thing.
After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the faint pinholes on Sato Miwako's neck.
I thought Officer Sato would be unconscious for a few more minutes, so I didn't carry her all the time, but put her aside temporarily and let her sit against the wall.
After standing up, Jiang Xia looked into the room through the window.
——This is exactly the room where Mrs. Masuo was exercising just now. It is a cloudy day today, and it is quite dark outside. However, the room is brightly lit, so the scene inside is not difficult to see.
