Chapter 438: Attacking the Police, asking for monthly votes~\(≧▽≦)~
Conan also moved closer to the window curiously.
With his height, it was difficult for him to see the scene inside the house clearly when he stood in the yard.
But he noticed that Jiang Xia's expression was becoming increasingly serious.
Immediately afterwards, Conan noticed that his neighbor raised his hand a little anxiously, as if he wanted to push the window.
...What happened in there?
Conan's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the wall, trying to find a support point to climb up and have a look.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "What are you doing?!"
Jiang Xia and Conan were both startled. They looked back and saw a tall police officer with a coral head.
——Inspector Shiratori followed at some point.
As a police officer of the Investigation Division, Shiratori Jinzaburo often encounters Jiang Xia and often picks up well-behaved and obedient prisoners from Jiang Xia.
Therefore, it was not difficult for him to see through some of Jiang Xia's behaviors beneath his gentle appearance.
At this moment, Inspector Shiratori suddenly saw Sato Miwako lying next to Jiang Xia. He immediately became alert and secretly held the pistol in his pocket for courage.
However, before he could ask Jiang Xia in detail, he suddenly heard some rustling sounds coming from the room in front of him.
Shiratori walked closer in confusion and saw through the window that the door to the side hall was opened.
A sturdy figure walked into the room. Manager Masuo strode to the collapsed cabinet. He raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, then tore off the thumbtacks on the top of the bookcase that were used to fix the fishing line and hid them, then he lifted the cabinet and straightened it.
After that, he didn't even look at the body on the ground, but bent down to pick up the fallen books and put them back into the bookcase one by one.
After smoothly completing the set of movements that he had simulated in his mind for a long time, Manager Zengwei breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back. Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
He frowned and looked towards the window.
The weather is unusually gloomy today, and the lights in the house are very bright.
When store manager Zengwei took a quick glance, he first saw his own reflection in the glass. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
——Three faces were posted on the window in a row, looking at him with different expressions. A small amount of water vapor was faintly exhaled on the glass in front of the faces, and he didn't know how long these people looked at him in shock.
Manager Zengwei looked at the three witnesses, and his head buzzed. He couldn't breathe, covered his chest, and fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
…
Ten minutes later.
Under the questioning of the new witness, Inspector Shiratori, store manager Masuo collapsed and confessed his plan to murder his wife.
A few meters away, Sato Miwako rubbed her neck, walked to Jiang Xia, and asked suspiciously: "What happened just now?"
Conan was originally standing next to the exercise bike to observe. When he heard this question, he froze slightly and slowly moved behind the bookcase.
Jiang Xia seemed very calm because he was innocent: "You suddenly came to grab me, I thought there was a gangster, so I fought back... Maybe I accidentally knocked you out."
"..." Officer Sato was still a little confused. She was hugging someone from behind, and in that position, it would be difficult for Jiang Xia to hit her neck... Oh, by the way, Jiang Xia had a baton, so maybe he could extend the strike from an angle that she couldn't see.
…Anyway, he was only unconscious for a short while, there were no sequelae, and it did not delay the case. Although Sato Miwako still felt suspicious, she did not ask any more questions.
She then thought of another thing.
Miwako Sato glanced at Inspector Shiratori and Officer Takagi who were busy next to store manager Masuo, and moved Jiang Xia away.
Then whispered a reminder:
"You should restrain yourself. Although it's not a bad thing to hate evil, beating a suspect is illegal after all.
"This morning, I accompanied Inspector Megure to the archives room and found that someone was retrieving case files related to you... Although I also think that some suspects really deserve a beating, there are always police officers who will oppose such behavior. If you are used as a warning to others..."
"Retrieve the case files related to me?" Jiang Xia was stunned, and then quickly remembered yesterday, when after he finished talking about Moon Shadow Island, Amuro Toru walked away thoughtfully.
Jiang Xia pondered for a moment and nodded: "I understand. I'll pay attention next time."
"..." Sato Miwako's tone paused.
...Although there is nothing wrong with the attitude of admitting mistakes, after hearing Jiang Xia say "next time" too many times, she has become a little confused about the true meaning behind this guarantee.
I am struggling whether or not to continue emphasizing the seriousness of the matter so that Jiang Xia will really "pay attention next time."
But at this time, Inspector Shiratori and Takagi Wataru had already seen her, and their eyes lit up at the same time: "Are you awake? Are you okay? What happened just now?"
Sato Miwako's thoughts were interrupted and she was instantly brought back to reality.
She recalled that she didn't recognize Jiang Xia when she was chasing the "suspicious person" and that she had an unfortunate accident with her car. She straightened her hair a little embarrassedly and said, "I slipped and hit the wall, and I got knocked unconscious by accident."
"Oh oh." Takagi Shigeru touched the back of his head with empathy and said hesitantly, "Be careful next time. Um, how do you feel now? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Inspector Shiratori glanced at Jiang Xia next to Sato Miwako in silence and suspicion. He vaguely felt that his beloved colleague seemed to be shielding someone who attacked the police, but he had no evidence...
In the end, Officer Shiratori could only routinely ask Jiang Xia why he was here.
Jiang Xia repeated the excuse he had just given to Conan and tried to get away with it.
Not long after, other police officers arrived at the scene and began collecting evidence and handling the follow-up.
Jiang Xia followed Officer Sato and the others and first took store manager Masuo to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Before getting in the car, he remembered something and picked up Mrs. Zengwei's cat that had been left in the car - it had just climbed the wall and it was not convenient to take it with him.
…
When he arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department and was waiting to take his statement, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered something.
He looked at Conan and said, "Why did you go to Masuo's house with Officer Sato and the others just now? Did you encounter a case before?"
Conan nodded.
After ordering, he keenly noticed that Jiang Xia moved his fingers and unconsciously touched the baton hidden on his body.
Then the neighbor's tone was filled with a hint of regret and condemnation: "Why didn't you call me when there was a case?"
Conan: “…”
He silently took a step back from his chair and his voice became quieter:
"It was just an ordinary robbery. The criminal was a malnourished unemployed young man, not suitable for you. Next time if we encounter a tough... ahem, if we encounter a very dangerous criminal, we will definitely ask you for help."
Jiang Xia nodded, moved his hand away from the baton, and turned to touch Mrs. Zengwei's lively Siamese cat.
As I was touching it, I remembered something.
...Speaking of which, Mrs. Masuo is already dead, and the store manager Masuo is about to go to jail. What should we do with the cat?
