Chapter 513: Randomly Capture a Lucky Policeman
Conan was worried for a short while.
Then he realized that it was useless to worry now - first of all, he certainly couldn't ask directly. And with Jiang Xia's observation ability, it would be very difficult to track Jiang Xia.
So Conan came to his senses pragmatically and decided to solve the case at hand first.
...He actually has more clues about this matter than Jiang Xia.
Not long ago, Conan and Maori father and daughter passed by a convenience store and planned to buy some snacks for the journey.
While parking, the three people happened to encounter the two cars involved in the accident and their respective owners in the parking lot.
——The driver of the green car was arguing with someone at that time.
Just now, Yumi Miyamoto got the relevant information of the red car driver. Conan, relying on his low presence when he was silent, secretly leaned over to take a look at the ID photo.
Then it was discovered that the person who had quarreled with the green car driver in the convenience store parking lot a while ago was the victim of the car accident.
And Conan still remembered that after the two people quarreled, they got into their own cars and left in different directions. But they unexpectedly met again at this intersection...
It is hard to believe that this was a simple accident.
Conan moved to a place where there was no surveillance nearby, and grabbed a friendly traffic policeman who was passing by:
"Uncle police, I actually saw the two people involved in the car accident in a convenience store on the outskirts of the city. They were arguing with each other. If we go to that convenience store and take a look, we might be able to find some useful clues."
The "traffic policeman" Yuya Kazami who was pulled by him was forced to stop.
Yuya Kazami lowered his head and looked stiffly at this mysterious child who was highly valued by Mr. Fūya and whom he had investigated for a long time and who was suspected to be an illegal resident. He especially looked at Conan's teeth: "..."
...Speaking of which, there were so many traffic police passing by the scene, why did this kid come over to pull him over? Did he reveal some flaws that were different from the regular traffic police? ?
However, soon, Yuya Kazami realized that Conan was not observing or suspecting him, and seemed to just want to provide clues.
...It's okay, it's okay.
After temporarily relieving the crisis, Kazami Yuya thought back to what Conan had just said and felt that this child was not as strange as Mr. Fūya described. His tone was that of a normal child, but his ability to express himself was stronger than that of an average child...
"Okay, I'll go find the gentleman you're traveling with to confirm this."
Yuya Kazami squatted down, stretched out his hand vigilantly, and tentatively touched Conan's head.
After noticing that Conan looked up and showed a cute smile, as if he was used to this way of getting along between adults and children, and did not have the kind of resistance reaction that a normal adult male would have when being touched on the head, Kazami Yuya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the terrifying aura surrounding this mysterious child had dissipated a lot.
...Mr. Jōtani, have you been with Jiang Xia, the incident-prone person, for too long, so you're overreacting to the abnormalities around you?
Yuya Kazami briefly speculated on his boss's train of thought, then thought of the devilish training and shuddered, and soon stopped thinking about it.
He found two other traffic policemen and went to the convenience store with Maori and the other two.
He planned to find an excuse to slip away on the way, change out of the traffic police uniform, return to the Ministry of Public Security police team, and become the tool man who followed Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru and was ready to support his superiors at any time.
…
Before the police who went to the convenience store to verify arrived.
Next to the surveillance screen, someone is almost unable to hold on.
Jiang Xia's voice continued to come:
"This strong light coming from a near-front angle is very dangerous for drivers. Under normal circumstances, at such an empty intersection, being dazzled by the light for a short period of time would not cause any accidents. But now, for the deceased, after the collision, this beam of strong light reflected by the billboard was seamlessly connected...
"Perhaps he didn't realize what happened until the two cars collided. No wonder he didn't show any signs of braking before the collision. In addition, the billboard that reflected the light was actually hit by Mr. Kurumi's car..."
In a word - too many coincidences.
A circle of policemen looked at Che Gu Zhengsi and suddenly became suspicious.
Miyamoto Yumi was suspicious, but also a little surprised that her intuition was so accurate - she felt that there was something wrong with the driver of the green car just now, and now it seems that the problem is getting bigger and bigger. Maybe she unexpectedly has a talent for being a detective...
Yumi Miyamoto couldn't help but imagine herself and Miwako Sato going arm in arm to catch the criminal, then going to KTV and having a meal to celebrate... Well, that was great.
She fantasized for a moment, came to her senses, turned around and walked around the billboard, observing it seriously.
Then he quickly trotted back and said, "That billboard did show signs of being moved recently. In addition to the displacement after being hit by a car, there were also scratches on the ground from the opposite direction... It's a pity that it was out of the surveillance range, so I couldn't capture the person who tampered with it."
As she spoke, she stared at Kurumi Seiji, trying hard to imitate the cold expression of Officer Sato in the interrogation room, trying to scare the problematic driver into revealing the details.
Jiang Xia also looked at Che Gu Zhengsi and suddenly asked, "Do you have a lighter or matches?"
Che Gu Zhengsi suddenly thought of something, and his already blue face instantly became even bluer.
He paused before saying, "...I forgot to bring it with me when I went out."
"Really?" Jiang Xia continued to work hard to set off as soon as possible:
“You don’t look like a regular smoker, but your car’s ashtray is full of old and new cigarette butts.
“Just now, when the boss broke the window of the red car, he could see that there were only a few cigarette butts in the car, but they all looked relatively fresh. Moreover, the bite marks on the two cigarette butts were very similar, even identical. They were both of the same rare domestic brand…”
Toru Amuro was originally thinking about the incident where Yuya Kazami was pulled back by Conan just now.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Jiang Xia calling "Boss". He came back to his senses, recalled what he had just heard, and vaguely understood.
Amuro Toru looked at the driver of the green car and asked, "You knew the deceased and you just exchanged cars?"
“…”
“…………”
More than a thousand meters away.
Conan took Kogoro Mouri's car to the convenience store where the two drivers had quarreled, and eavesdropped on the progress of the case through the bug left at the scene.
——He had already put away his earplugs. He had already heard everything he didn't want to hear anyway. Jiang Xia was not present when the driver of the red car and the driver of the green car were arguing in the convenience store, so Conan felt that even if he dared to eavesdrop, it would not interfere with his puzzle-solving process.
Unexpectedly...
