Chapter 627 Energy Mode
Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Xia in deep thought.
...If I remember correctly, every time Jiang Xia was lost in thought, his eyes would be lowered a little bit more than usual, like this.
After that, it would often not be long before Jiang Xia would suddenly solve the case and expose all the murderer's tricks.
"..." I didn't expect that this time, Jiang Xia would get a clue so quickly. This case was obviously different from the previous one. This time, the case happened in a crowded campus, and the suspect could just run away after the fight. Now, they haven't even identified the specific scope of the suspect...
Hattori Heiji sighed sadly.
But after hesitating for a moment, he temporarily gave up trying to talk to Jiang Xia.
…It’s better not to interrupt Jiang Xia’s train of thought. What if he is just thinking about the key point and his train of thought is interrupted by your question?
Although he cared about the fact that Jiang Xia solved the case faster than him, if he wanted to close the gap between the two, he had to rely on the laggard to catch up, rather than trying to drag the leader back to where he was... In addition, although someone provided Jiang Xia with an alibi this time, it seemed that Toru Amuro and Jiang Xia were in the same group, and the testimony of the unscrupulous boss might not be effective. If the case was not solved as soon as possible, Jiang Xia would always be suspicious of being "pointed at by the deceased before his death", which was not a good thing.
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji turned to the side and ran to harass the crew members: "Where is the new script and the previous script? Let me see it."
The deceased was a screenwriter who was missing. Just after he sent the second script, he was beaten to death near the crew... Perhaps a key secret is hidden in this script.
The director has filmed many suspense dramas and knows many detectives, including Hattori Heiji, a Kansai high school detective with distinct features and high recognition.
Seeing that the police had no objection, he handed over both scripts.
Hattori Heiji got the script and gave it a quick read.
Before I could take a closer look, I suddenly thought of other clues that might be useful: "By the way, when your screenwriter left, did he take or leave any specific items?"
The director thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "I don't know exactly what luggage he took. However, after he disappeared, we asked the staff to open his room once. No one had seen him for two consecutive days, and we thought he was alone in the room and something had happened. However, after opening the room, there was no one in the room, only a note he left saying that he would be away for a while. He didn't like to clean up the room, so it was a mess and full of things. We didn't take a closer look and left quickly."
The two of them had just said a few words when Jiang Xia, who was standing next to them, seemed to come back to his senses and came closer.
Hattori Heiji glanced over with a complicated look, and felt a little sad about the reasoning he had just started - the puzzle he had just solved was suddenly solved by someone else.
However, this time, Jiang Xia did not say at the beginning, "The murderer is probably ××," which would have caused the blood pressure of his colleagues and the criminal to soar at the same time.
He just joined the team looking for clues like a proper detective: "In this case, let's go to the deceased's room first. According to experience, the places where the deceased lived usually leave some useful clues."
"Also, Hattori is right. There may be clues hidden in these two scripts." Jiang Xia pointed at the two manuscripts in Hattori Heiji's hand. "Print a few more copies and send them to other people. Maybe someone can associate them with the key clues."
"Okay." The director had a good relationship with the screenwriter. Although he was sad about the death of his friend, he was a bold director who had shot many suspense dramas. He quickly entered the state of a tool man and sent the script to the police, asking them to print out a few more copies.
Then he began to lead the way: "We live not far from here, just two streets ahead, at the Zhifeng Hotel."
Next to him, Toru Amuro, who was leaning against a tree and daydreaming, heard the word "hotel". His eyes, which had been as stagnant as a pool of water, moved slightly and regained a bit of brightness.
He stood up and followed the team heading to the hotel to look for clues.
——There are not many hotels around here, and the one he and Jiang Xia booked is the Zhifeng Hotel.
...Maybe I can find a chance to rest for a while. Amuro Toru looked at the building two blocks away and sighed silently.
…
When he arrived at the hotel, Jiang Xia discovered that the room the deceased had stayed in was on the same floor as his.
Of course, Toru Amuro's room is also nearby.
After Jiang Xia and the police entered the screenwriter's room and began searching for suspicious items.
Toru Amuro looked at the police in the corridor and felt that the environment here was quite safe, so he temporarily gave up the plan of "personally keeping an eye on Jiang Xia" and said something to the nearby police.
In this case, Jiang Xia, who was pointed out by the deceased, was an important witness.
And Toru Amuro, who was traveling with Jiang Xia, naturally became a more important witness.
But the witness refused to stay with the police, and the police had no choice but to write down Toru Amuro's room number and continue trying to solve the case.
Amuro Toru successfully left the scene, feeling much more relaxed, and he quickly returned to his room.
…
A few thousand meters away, in the tall police station building.
Yuya Kazami was wearing a flashlight on his head, a stun gun and an anesthetic gun on his waist, and two hypnotic bullets in his pockets that could allow him to "die together" if necessary. He was crawling carefully in a ventilation duct.
When he was almost at the exit, his cell phone vibrated twice.
A phone call came in.
Yuya Kazami freed his hands, took out his cell phone, and glanced at the number displayed on the screen.
The person he saw was his reliable boss - Furuya Rei.
He immediately picked up the phone seriously and reported the situation:
"Mr. Fūya, we have checked floors 5 to 7, but have not found anything yet."
Soon, Toru Amuro's voice came from the other side: "Well, no hurry, take your time to look for it."
In this incident, Toru Amuro did not actually demand high efficiency from his subordinates.
——In his opinion, a few hours ago, when his subordinates were waiting outside the bathroom for Matsuda to come out, Matsuda had probably already left the police station through the ventilation duct.
He asked his subordinates to check the ventilation duct again just to be on the safe side and to avoid Matsuda, whose health condition was unknown, being trapped in the duct and becoming a corpse.
Therefore, for this kind of low-standard task of "just find someone before they starve to death", it doesn't matter if it's finished a few hours earlier or later... If he finishes it later, he can just rest for a while.
Amuro Toru thought about the days he had been living these days and couldn't help but sigh: "... wanting to sleep but not being able to sleep is really a torture."
Not being able to sleep and having plans disrupted by unexpected situations every day is even worse.
