Chapter 626: Execute, Jiang Xia asks for monthly votes (づど)
After the push, a burst of noisy discussions gradually emerged from the crowd of onlookers.
Amuro Toru suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Upon closer inspection, the victim actually moved his finger. The finger stretched out and rested on the ground weakly. As it turned, a small blur of blood was left underneath. He still pointed stubbornly at where Jiang Xia was. At the same time, his mouth, which was covered with blood foam, was struggling to mutter something, as if he wanted to speak, but the voice was so soft that it was impossible to hear clearly.
Soon, he closed his eyes completely.
Toru Amuro: "..."
He turned and looked at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia also looked confused.
After a few seconds, Jiang Xia seemed to have thought of something, and said in a puzzled voice: "Maybe he recognized me as a detective, so he wanted me to find the real murderer and avenge him."
Amuro Toru: “…”Really?
Why does he feel something is wrong...
…
At the haunted house, the police hadn't gone far away.
Seeing a group of people gathered here and screaming in fear, he immediately rushed over without stopping.
The ambulance arrived quickly.
However, after checking, the paramedics regretfully gave up their position to the police - the person on the ground had unfortunately passed away.
Although Toru Amuro wanted to take his men away immediately and let the police here solve the case on their own.
However, just now, the deceased's last finger pointed out Jiang Xia as an important witness, making it impossible for Jiang Xia to withdraw.
——Even if Jiang Xia had been with the police or detectives just now and had no time to commit the crime, the fact that the deceased pointed at him so persistently must mean that Jiang Xia had some important clues.
If he insisted on leaving at this time, it would really not be like a famous detective.
Whether it is Toru Amuro or Bourbon who hopes Jiang Xia can infiltrate the upper class and become his intelligence agent, they should stay and help solve the case.
...Anyway, I can't leave this time even if I want to.
…
It's too noisy here, and it's right on the outskirts of the campus, so there aren't any buildings that block the view.
Not long after, the unreliable crew and Hattori Heiji and others also came over following the sound.
When the people from the crew who were watching saw the body, they were stunned.
Then he rushed over screaming: "Mr. Xun?!"
Hattori Heiji looked at the body in confusion, then looked at Jiang Xia who was being questioned by several policemen, and pulled over a familiar policeman: "What's going on over there?"
The policeman was used to being a tool for various detectives. When he was stopped by him, he answered without any temper:
"A body was found here just now, killed by a blunt object. When first found, the deceased was still breathing. Afterwards, he pointed at Jiang Xia in front of many people - it has been confirmed that he was pointing at Jiang Xia. I heard that the people who were traveling with Jiang Xia tried to push Jiang Xia away, but the deceased still stubbornly pointed in his direction, so..."
"..." Hattori Heiji took a look at the bloodstains left by the dead man's fingers and thought of the word "identify the murderer". His eyes twitched, "You are not suspecting that Jiang Xia is the murderer, are you? He is not..."
I was just about to say that he wouldn't kill anyone.
However, halfway through his words, Hattori Heiji suddenly flashed through his mind, the past when Jiang Xia secretly knocked on the murderer behind the police's back: "..."
In my impression, Jiang Xia seems to be different from a normal high school detective - he doesn't like to defeat the enemy with one move, but often knocks on the criminals... This is probably a manifestation of his extreme hatred for criminals.
In short, although Jiang Xia definitely didn't have any bad intentions, if he failed...
“…”
Hattori Heiji was silent for a moment.
After that, he waited for the policemen around Jiang Xia to disperse. He pulled Jiang Xia over and asked quietly, "Hey, you didn't really hit him, did you? Well... you also know that it's better to turn yourself in than to escape, or, or if you can prove that you acted in self-defense..."
"It's not me, I don't even know him." Jiang Xia looked at him in surprise. Although he didn't say it clearly, his whole body exuded an innocent aura of "I'm not that kind of person" and "Why do you think so".
It's just that what he said wasn't so innocent.
Just as Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Jiang Xia lower his voice and explain seriously: "Even if that person is really a vicious criminal, why would I hit him in the head? A head injury can easily lead to death or coma. If the criminal loses consciousness, how can he reflect on the crime he has committed soberly?"
Hattori Heiji: "..."
...Why is it that when Jiang Xia says something like “beating prisoners” which seems to be illegal and inappropriate in every way, it sounds so righteous?
Wait, speaking of this, didn't Mao Lilan say that Jiang Xia's beating of the prisoner was a stress response after being stimulated? But now it seems... What does this have to do with stress! Jiang Xia was completely sober when beating people!
...It is wrong to hit people.
——Hattori Heiji really wanted to say this.
But on second thought, Jiang Xia wouldn't listen even if he said it...
After a moment of silence, Hattori Heiji looked at the blue sky above the campus at a 45-degree angle.
Then he skipped this horrible topic, turned around as if nothing had happened, and entered the case-solving mode: "I'll go to the crew to ask about the situation. They seem to know the deceased."
"I'm going too." Jiang Xia followed in a friendly manner.
Then he suddenly remembered something, and turned to Amuro Toru as usual, intending to follow the procedure and tell his boss.
However, when I turned around, I saw the boss leaning quietly under a tree, staring at his feet watching the ants moving. He looked detached, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with worldly affairs, and it seemed that he didn't want to talk to others.
"..." Jiang Xia was silent for a moment and decided not to disturb Amuro Toru, who was in a bad mental state, and let him be alone.
He left quietly and came to the crew with Hattori Heiji.
…
The crew is being questioned by the police.
"Mr. Xun is our screenwriter."
"He is a very talented person, always very steady and methodical. But for some reason..." The director looked at the familiar corpse on the ground with some sadness in his eyes, "A few days ago, not long after we arrived here, he suddenly left home... and ran away from the crew. Until now, none of us knows where he is hiding.
"However, about half an hour ago, he suddenly sent the script for the new episode. We immediately tried to contact him, but still couldn't get through.
"At that time, we thought he wanted to hide away and create quietly. Who knew that when we saw him again, he was already like this..."
The other crew members also nodded, confirming the director's statement.
Hattori Heiji listened carefully, turned around and wanted to ask Jiang Xia if he had seen anyone who looked like the screenwriter around when he was filming - during that time, he and Toyama Kazuha sneaked into the haunted house together and was unable to observe it with his own eyes.
However, when he turned around, he saw Jiang Xia's eyes slightly lowered, falling on the calves of the people in front.
