Chapter 646 Jiang Xia, you died miserably
When Mao Lilan saw the open door, she was stunned for a moment, then adjusted her running posture awkwardly.
Just now she was about to kick the door open and run into the room as fast as she could, just like she kicked Jiang Xia's bathroom door a year ago... But now it seems that she can skip this step.
She ran to the door, pushed the half-open door open completely, and rushed into the room.
A young man in black was hanging by the window. He had his back to the door, and his body was swaying slowly in the cold wind blowing in from the window. It was obvious that the body was very stiff and had been dead for some time.
“…”
Maori Kogoro watched this scene, gritted his teeth and punched the door frame. He walked around his daughter who was standing still and ran over to put Jiang Xia down.
But when he raised his hand and touched the stiff corpse, Kogoro Mori paused.
...As a former criminal policeman and current detective, his experience told him that doing this to a body that was obviously unsalvageable would only destroy the scene.
What if this was not suicide but homicide? It might make it impossible to find out the real murderer who killed Jiang Xia.
——That’s right, when encountering a dead person, Kogoro Mori, who would first suggest “suicide!” or “it was an accident!”, now vaguely feels that there is another hidden story behind the “Jiang Xia hanging” incident.
After all, over the past year or so, he felt that Jiang Xia had probably learned a lesson from his last suicide attempt and had begun to cherish life again... In short, he didn't look like someone who was so depressed that he would want to commit suicide a second time.
When he was discharged from the hospital after his failed suicide attempt, Jiang Xia looked a bit depressed. He always skipped classes, lay down in the yard to bask in the sun, and occasionally went out to hang out in various gloomy places with those bad guys...
But in recent months, it can be clearly felt that Jiang Xia's mood is much better than before, and his life has become busy and fulfilling, filled with various commissions and cases every day.
Such a young man suddenly committed suicide while handling a commission...
Although theoretically, there are precedents for this.
But emotionally, it was really hard for Kogoro Mori to accept.
Now that they are too late and unable to save the people, they must at least find the murderer...if he exists.
Kogoro Mori finally withdrew his hand in pain and anger.
Just at this moment, a mountain breeze blew, and the swaying corpse was blown half a circle by the wind, facing the door.
Kogoro Mori took two steps back, raised his head, and looked sadly at the remains of his neighbor's child.
As I watched, I always felt that something was not right.
...Is this an illusion? Why do I feel like a different person?
...Speaking of which, if someone dies by hanging, their face will indeed change after death.
I didn't expect Jiang Xia to be so distorted after death. Only the eyebrows and eyes can barely show a little outline. Wait, speaking of this, there are Yoshikawa lines on Jiang Xia's neck, and the position of the strangulation marks is not quite right... This is indeed not suicide!
Thinking of this, Kogoro Mori's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He turned around and looked at the crowd at the door. He scanned the crowd with a scrutinizing gaze, then walked over and stopped a few brave people who wanted to come in and help put down the body. While telling them not to destroy the scene, he secretly thought that this one was suspicious, this one was suspicious, and that one was even more suspicious...
As soon as he left, Mao Lilan behind him was suddenly unprotected and was caught off guard and looked into the eyes of "Jiang Xia's" corpse.
She looked at the painful and distorted expression, her head buzzed, the fear of the corpse and the sadness of her friend's death overlapped, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
…
Conan runs slowly.
When he ran to the door.
Since Maori and his daughter rushed in first, the guests who came to watch the fun became bolder and moved from their rooms to the door of "Jiangxia"'s room and looked inside.
They gathered there, blocking the door which was already narrow to begin with.
Conan couldn't squeeze in, and could only vaguely see "Jiang Xia" in the room through the gaps between the legs of a group of adults. The person was wearing the same black clothes as Jiang Xia, and was fluttering in the wind.
"..." Although I didn't want to admit it, judging from the stiffness, it was obviously past the time limit to save the person while he was still warm. The person was probably already dead.
Conan stared at the corpse in silence for a moment, then suddenly turned around and looked at Toru Amuro, who had also followed him to the door and was now stroking his chin and looking into the room.
He stretched out his hand, intending to angrily grab the collar of this scumbag boss...
Too bad it's out of reach.
So he had no choice but to grab Amuro Toru's trouser legs and asked in a deep voice: "You brought him out to pretend to commit suicide? Why did you kill him?!"
"..." Amuro Toru lowered his head and glanced at Conan.
...When it comes to this matter, he is the most confused one.
And just now, Amuro Toru also ran the fastest - after all, when he left not long ago, Jiang Xia was still sleeping in his bed. Calculating the time, if Jiang Xia immediately got up and hung himself on the roof after he left... then the probability of being rescued is actually not low.
But just now, when Amuro Toru ran to his room and passed by the second floor, he keenly discovered that the source of the commotion was not his room at all.
But it was Room 207 where Jiang Xia was originally.
——Last night, Jiang Xia found the camera from Room 207, so he ran into his room.
After noticing something wrong, Toru Amuro paused for a moment.
Then, while everyone else's attention was focused on Room 207, he quickly ran back to his room.
After shaking Jiang Xia out of his bed and making sure he was still alive, Toru Amuro left the employee who was awakened by him and looked confused, and went back to the second floor to see what was going on.
He peeked in from the door.
Then he was slightly surprised to find that the figure hanging in the air actually looked a bit like Jiang Xia. Even more like Jiang Xia than the current Jiang Xia - the "Jiang Xia" in the room was wearing the black clothes that Jiang Xia usually wore. But the real Jiang Xia was now wearing light-colored clothes, which was in line with Yuya Kazami's perception of a normal male high school student.
“……”So who is the person who was hanged?
Why did he die in Jiang Xia’s room?
Amuro Toru fell into deep thought for a moment.
After a moment, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Xia only found one camera from the house last night, so there should be some left... He didn't know if his subordinates had recovered those cameras in time. If not, maybe they could have captured something.
Thinking of this, he took out his cell phone and planned to send a message to Yuya Kazami.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the stairs - several people in suits walked up the stairs.
The hotel staff followed them and reassured the onlookers, "Don't be afraid, the police are here!"
