Chapter 454 Why Don’t You Go Home
I was struggling over whether I should just hang up and wait for Toru Amuro and Conan to solve the case, or just finish my work and go home.
At this moment, Jiang Xia suddenly heard a series of fine and continuous clicking sounds coming from behind him, like someone was adjusting a dial... No, it's not like - isn't this the sound of Conan adjusting the bow tie voice changer?
Jiang Xia turned around, put one hand on the back of the chair, and glanced behind the back of the chair he was sitting on.
Conan was seen standing there stealthily, adjusting his voice with a bow-tie voice changer, as if he was about to start solving the case.
Jiang Xia glanced at the dark corner at the other end of the stage - Amuro Toru was standing there silently, looking over here inquiringly.
“……”The detectives here really like to hide in inconspicuous corners.
Make a note of it and practice more in the future.
Jiang Xia habitually observed the habits of local detectives and interrupted Conan before he could speak: "The criminal used a fishing line to poison the heroine in public - that's what you want to say."
Conan was startled by the sudden sound above his head.
While turning his head to look at Jiang Xia, Conan also noticed Toru Amuro standing in the corner and observing secretly, and felt a little uneasy.
He untied the ribbon of the bow-tie voice changer as if nothing had happened, put it back together, and put it back in his pocket, pretending that he was just fiddling with the toy out of boredom.
Then he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Toru Amuro would not find out about his high-tech voice changer and discover his problem...
…
Toru Amuro seems to be concerned about his undercover identity and will try to avoid the camera whenever possible.
Seeing Jiang Xia thawed from the AFK state, he did not show up again and continued to stay in the corner with a low sense of presence.
Conan was originally very interested in solving the case, but when he found that a suspicious person was observing him, he suddenly stopped talking.
After several contacts, Conan discovered a blind spot in Amuro Toru's attitude towards him, and gradually realized that something was wrong. He then felt that the possibility of "Amuro Toru being an anonymous member" was not as high as he had thought before.
——Conan always felt that although Toru Amuro did not treat him as an ordinary child, his attitude towards him was obviously not that of an adult, and there was always a hint of temptation in it.
In comparison, Miss Anonymous and Xiaobai both knew very well that he was a "tomboy".
And if Toru Amuro is really a member of the Anonymous Organization, even if the information sharing within the Anonymous Organization is not high, Toru Amuro should at least know the information that "there is a drug that can make adults smaller."
On the other hand, Amuro Toru's tentative attitude shows that his worldview seems to have not yet been filled with the information that "adults can become children". Therefore, it can be seen that his connection with the anonymous organization is worth rethinking - perhaps Amuro Toru met the anonymous organization member who is good at disguise through other channels... Wait, speaking of it, "the person who can disguise himself is a member of the anonymous organization" itself is still a speculation without empirical evidence.
...In short, after being hit with a club and drugged by Gin, Conan developed some paranoia and didn't want to take the initiative to solve the case in front of Toru Amuro who was watching him.
Conan put the bow-tie voice changer into his pocket, looked up at Jiang Xia, and his hand trembled slightly as he handed over the case: "...You solve the case."
...Look at it from a positive perspective. At least this time, when Jiang Xia was AFK, he took the opportunity to complete the puzzle-solving process instead of being directly circled as the murderer at the beginning of his thinking like before... This is already very good. People should learn to be content.
Conan comforted himself and walked away sadly.
Jiang Xia looked at his neighbor's sad back with sympathy and decided to treat the case he left behind well.
He turned to Inspector Megure who had come over at some point, and manually accelerated the progress bar in the other's eager eyes full of expectation and eagerness to finish overtime as soon as possible:
“The murderer is probably the agent. I just saw some marks on her hands caused by fishing line.
"——When a murder happened before, Conan reminded everyone not to leave the crime scene. The agent might have been worried that walking around would increase her suspicion, so she didn't leave... So the fishing line as evidence is probably still with her."
Inspector Megure glanced at the distance from the edge of the stage to the edge of the round table, and couldn't imagine what the scene was like: "Using fishing line to poison?"
Officer Takagi, who was working overtime with him, scratched the back of his head thoughtfully, looked at the round table, then raised his head and looked upwards.
Then he suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Inspector, there's something strange about that decorative star up there - the string that's hanging it is twisted."
Jiang Xia looked at the group of police officers who looked up tiredly after hearing the voice, and considerately quickened his speaking speed a little:
“For the stage effect, the position of the round table and the position of the water cup are fixed, and there is a star ornament just above Ms. Oide Shoko’s water cup.
"Pre-place a small weight dipped in poison on one end of the fishing line, and use the 'star' as the pivot point for positioning. When the protagonists are absorbed in acting, the small weight will fall from above and sink into the cup.
"Then, we just need to pull the fishing line and retrieve it, and this poisoning in public can be ended without a trace - in theory, this should be the case, but..."
As for the rest, after seeing the situation of the stars above, everyone understood without further explanation - the agent was nervous and pulled the fishing line too fast, so the fishing line unfortunately got entangled with the stars and broke.
So at this moment, the half fishing line left on the top and the half fishing line in the agent's pocket that had not yet been thrown away constituted evidence of her poisoning.
...In short, another murderer who fell victim to unfamiliar tactics.
…
The drama ended with the agent collapsing on the ground, covering his face and crying.
This seemed to be another emotional dispute. Jiang Xia was busy directing the shikigami to pick up ghosts, so she didn't have time to listen carefully, but she roughly knew that the male protagonist of the drama was once the boyfriend of the agent. Later, the deceased seduced him away, and after proving her charm, she dumped the male protagonist like a worn-out shoe. The agent was furious and planned this murder, deciding to kill the woman who had played with two people.
…
After working on his classmates' cases, Jiang Xia returned to his daily life of waiting for the invitation letter.
But this time, he added a few other items besides picking up cats and giving them away and rummaging through mailboxes.
——Go to the suburban forest and Ekoda High School and wait for the witch.
...Of course, considering that Koizumi Hongzi's magic power recovers slowly, she mainly relies on her aunt.
Unfortunately, no one was in the castle even after driving the puppet several times. Koizumi Hongzi also took a long vacation and did not show up at school.
