Chapter 534 Take Jiang Xia in
For a moment, Toru Amuro suddenly wanted to suspend the experiment, return to Tokyo immediately, and then find a laboratory to lock up Jiang Xia so that he would not run around.
...But reason told him that, not to mention that there was no direct evidence to prove the existence of such a thing as "event constitution" in the world.
Even if there is, the holder of the event constitution is probably just unlucky.
——Just like the extremely lucky person who always wins the first prize when buying lottery tickets. The first prize exists objectively, and the lucky person just has the characteristics to win it. In fact, even if the lucky person does not buy lottery tickets, the first prize will still be there and will not disappear.
...By analogy, even if Jiang Xia was illegally imprisoned because of "incident constitution", the number of cases would not decrease, and it would still happen, but it would be encountered by other people again.
Compared to this, it would be better to be encountered by Jiang Xia. At least Jiang Xia would not be frightened by the corpse like innocent citizens. And Jiang Xia seemed to like this way of showing his self-worth...
Jiang Xia vaguely felt a chill.
He brushed the snow off his thin shirt and walked into the study, which was slightly warmer than the balcony, and felt a lot more comfortable.
Others followed suit subconsciously.
Detective Gunda glanced around but didn't see much worth noting in the dark, so he put on gloves, groped in the dark to find the switch, and turned on the light.
As the room became brighter, the terrifying atmosphere dissipated a little.
Jiang Xia walked around to generate heat through exercise, and at the same time looked at the doors and windows in the room:
"The door is locked. Except for the French window we came in through, all other windows are locked."
Toru Amuro came back to his senses, walked into the study, and glanced at the door.
This door is a soundproof door. It is wrapped with rubber on all sides. There is no gap when closed, so it is impossible to create a secret room using the gap.
...Combined with the steep cliff outside and the untrodden snow on both sides of the balcony, this was undoubtedly a closed-room murder case...My bad premonition came true.
Amid the sound of the wind, someone pressed a few buttons on his cell phone.
Then Suzuki Sonoko's trembling voice was heard: "Hello? Um, there was a murder in Dracula's villa..."
“…”
A few strangers looked at her in surprise: I didn't expect this little girl to come to her senses so quickly, and actually started to call the police in an orderly manner. This really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance...
…
However, although Suzuki Sonoko instinctively called the police, the road was blocked by heavy snow and the police could not get there at all.
Suzuki Sonoko hung up the phone in disappointment, but she didn't feel surprised at all. She even felt a little used to it...
"We can't help it. Let's do the autopsy first." Gunda Ikumi didn't encounter as many murders as the high school detectives, but she had seen a lot of bodies. "Time is precious. If we wait until the snow melts and the roads are clear, a lot of evidence will melt away silently like the snow."
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and took a few pictures of the cross and the body tied to it.
Then he adjusted his gloves and took a closer look.
"... Considering the timing when the deceased entered the study, his time of death should be between 9 and 11 o'clock tonight." Qiangtian Yumi observed the thick wooden nail on the deceased's heart and then looked at the bleeding.
After a brief look of confusion, she began to check other parts.
Finally, Detective Gunda's gaze stopped at the back of the corpse's head: "Blunt force trauma... It seems that he was attacked from behind, then tied to a cross, and finally a wooden nail was driven into his heart."
Jiang Xia has been observing Conan for a long time and now looks like a serious detective.
He saw a heavy wooden sculpture about the length of his forearm lying on the ground. "It's stained with blood. It might be the weapon the murderer used to attack Mr. Torakura."
"Where?" Ikumi Qiangda turned around.
Then she followed Jiang Xia's direction, took a closer look, and nodded: "The shape roughly matches, it should be this."
At the same time, she took a few more photos.
Shuichi Hamura, who was engaged in vampire research, covered his mouth, seeming to be very nauseated by corpses and the smell of blood.
But soon, he discovered the problem and pointed to the wooden nails nailed to the body:
"…This seems to be a collection from Mr. Torakura's collection room. It is said to be a prop used during the filming of "Bloody Feast". I remember he often showed it off to us."
After he said this, the others immediately remembered the wooden nail.
As far as they could remember, when they visited the collection room together, the wooden nails were still there in good condition.
...In other words, after that, someone went to the collection room first, took the wooden nail, and then found a way to enter the study and killed Torakura Daisuke.
"…Let's go to the collection room. There might be traces of the murderer there."
Everyone reached this consensus.
…
Same as the "Secret Room" study.
The windows in the collection room were all locked tightly.
When I opened the window, there was a vast expanse of white snow outside, without any footprints - this case did not seem like someone breaking in from the outside, but more like someone inside the villa committing a crime from within.
Jiang Xia walked to the window and saw a thin piece of wood lying on the ground.
So he poked Toru Amuro next to him, pointed at the wood chip, and reminded him, "Boss, take a picture."
Amuro Toru responded, took out his cell phone and clicked it.
Then he was stunned.
etc?
...Why am I helping out again?
"…" Forget it, Jiang Xia didn't have a cell phone with him, so he couldn't take a photo. And this was also for solving the case.
Amuro Toru's stagnant movements quickly resumed.
After taking a photo subconsciously, he took several close-up and long-range photos, and recorded in detail the specific appearance of the slender piece of wood and the location where it fell - the Torakura family was very clean, even dust was quite rare, not to mention important places like the collection room.
And wood chips of this shape are not as easy to fall off as hair or thread ends. Its presence at the scene where the murder weapon is stored may have some inevitable meaning.
Toru Amuro briefly forgot about his "incident constitution" that was giving him a headache, and began to think about the case like a detective.
…
After checking the two key locations, the study and the collection room, everyone gathered together and began to try to find the murderer hiding inside.
Qiangtian Yumi remembered Jiang Xia's reputation for solving cases quickly and glanced at him.
But Jiang Xia was holding the teacup, thinking quietly, and seemed to have no intention of speaking.
While she was confused, she could only immerse herself in her own thoughts:
Judging from the current situation, the murderer must first get the wooden nails from the collection room and then kill people before committing the crime.
Killing Daisuke Torakura, tying him to the cross, hammering the wooden nail into his heart, moving the projector so that the bleak light shines on the corpse... all of this takes time.
During the time frame when the crime could have been committed, there were only two people who had gone in the direction of the collection room.
