Chapter 650 Wu Zuo's behavior has nothing to do with Jiang Xia
The innkeeper was startled when he heard this, and suddenly felt scared. He slammed his palm:
"Indeed. My eyesight isn't very good, and I can't remember people's faces. I've made a lot of jokes. If it was another 'Jiang Xia' who came, the box might have been in that person's hands."
Shancuncao listened silently, but he was still full of doubts about Jiang Xia, the owner of Room 207.
But at this moment, a new factor appeared, and he still managed to divert a little attention: "Suitcase?"
Conan and the two Maori also looked over and vaguely felt that this box might be the key to this matter.
No matter how bad the innkeeper's eyesight is, he is still in the service industry.
He quickly noticed the gazes directed at him and explained to the police and detective that the man in red had asked him to keep the suitcase five years ago.
…
While carefully digesting the important new clues, Conan recalled Jiang Xia's reasoning just now.
Then he looked at the door lock that was almost as tall as himself and said in a child's voice, "It's so strange. There are so many dark patterns here."
Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru had already noticed the scratches, but they didn't react much. They just subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
Officer Yamamura was slightly stunned.
After that, he approached cautiously, picked at the door lock and observed for a moment, then flicked Conan's head: "What pattern? This is the mark left when the lock was picked! The deceased must have failed in his attempt to steal the box, so he had the evil idea of breaking into the house and stealing."
A group of people nodded secretly.
Then I heard Shancuncao continue in a firm tone: "The man in black broke into the room in the middle of the night and wanted to steal the suitcase, but unfortunately he was caught by you--"
At this point, he raised his hand with great momentum and pointed at Jiang Xia: "Found the trace.
"In the darkness, when you resisted, you accidentally strangled him to death.
"Although this was self-defense, as a famous detective, you were worried that this incident would ruin your reputation, so you hurriedly set up the scene and went to your partner's room, hoping to get yourself an alibi."
At first, Mao Lilan listened to the reasoning seriously.
Hearing this, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but droop into half-moons: "Jiang Xia would never accidentally strangle someone to death. He..." Originally, she thought that Jiang Xia could get rid of these little thieves who sneaked into the room with a shoulder throw or a stick.
But before she could say anything, she suddenly remembered something, looked at the room full of police officers, swallowed her words back with difficulty, and changed her words stiffly:
"He, he is very measured even when defending himself. In the past, Jiang Xia encountered much more vicious criminals, but he never hurt anyone." ... The kind of injuries that go away after a few hits with a baton should not be considered injuries. It is just a necessary process to subdue the criminals... Well, probably.
“……” The more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt.
Mao Lilan finally stopped talking, slowly turned her eyes away, put her hands behind her back, and pretended to watch the birds passing by outside the window.
…
Conan also felt that Yamamura So's statement had many loopholes, and wanted to refute them one by one, but when he looked at Amuro Toru, whose identity was a mystery, he said: "..."
He swallowed his words silently again, trying to hide his identity as Kudo Shinichi.
However, this did not prevent Conan from secretly agreeing with Mao Lilan's statement in his heart. He always felt that if Jiang Xia killed someone impulsively one day, the deceased would be more likely to die from being hit on the head with a baton than being strangled by a rope, or at least be beaten to death by accident...
In addition, if Jiang Xia really wanted to escape punishment, he would not have hung a bloody Yoshikawa line around his neck to make it look like he committed suicide by hanging.
He is fully capable of designing a more meticulous method, so that the police may close the case as an "accident" or "accident" in confusion.
This is much safer than hanging the body up openly and then using the police's "reverse thinking" to exonerate himself - after all, in that case, if he encounters a policeman like Shancuncao, Jiang Xia will most likely be arrested directly and will have no chance to wait for the police to "think in reverse."
In short, for a detective, especially a talented detective like Jiang Xia, it is not too difficult to "design a crime in front of the police that can clear oneself as much as possible" compared to "hanging the dead and taking a chance".
...It's not just Jiang Xia. Other great detectives who embark on the road of crime often cause headaches for the police and detectives - detectives are familiar with the thinking of their colleagues when solving cases, have a lot of professional knowledge, and can often dispose of physical evidence in a timely manner. Even if there is a little flaw in the end, they may be able to get away with it successfully because of an incomplete chain of evidence.
“……” Fortunately, Jiang Xia is now on the right path.
Conan thought about Jiang Xia's recent horrific behavior of playing games, racing cars, and wandering around hospital morgues, crematoriums, and abandoned cemeteries in search of excitement;
Look again at this famous detective who is active in the sunshine and busy solving cases.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of honor and relief in my heart.
——Whether as Kudo Shinichi or as Conan, he has encountered many murders that are ongoing.
In these emergencies, although Conan was proficient in various first aid knowledge, he was able to save very few people. He even had few opportunities to use first aid techniques.
Jiang Xia was a successful rescue case and also his childhood friend, and Jiang Xia's personality was not difficult to get along with... In short, since then, Conan couldn't help but develop a subtle sense of responsibility towards Jiang Xia, feeling that it was he and Xiaolan who brought this life back to the world, so he also expected him to live a better life.
...For example, Jiang Xia's current fulfilling state of being a detective is very good.
The only problem is that there are too many dangerous and mysterious people around Jiang Xia... Although being a genius is good, it is sometimes easy for others to target you and try to take advantage of you.
Thinking of this, Conan's gaze silently returned to Amuro Toru and he stared at him secretly.
——Although just now, Toru Amuro tacitly agreed to let Jiang Xia solve the case, which surprised Conan a little.
But before everything came to light, he couldn't withdraw his suspicion of this boss. There was nothing suspicious about him from head to toe.
In addition, we must not relax our observation of Jiang Xia… Although it is hard to imagine that if the murderer was Jiang Xia, he would design such a crude escape scene. But if we think rationally, we cannot rule out that Jiang Xia felt guilty after killing someone, so he did these things with a negative mentality of "turning in if he is discovered, and continuing to do so if he is not discovered" - this is not without precedent.
...In general, we still need to find evidence first. Otherwise, everything will just be speculation.
Thinking of this, Conan looked around and entered the case-solving mode.
Even if Jiang Xia is forced to fail due to off-site factors, such as the threat from Toru Amuro, he will definitely crack the whole picture of the case and not let Jiang Xia be blamed.
Once all the evidence is collected, everything will be clear. By then, Jiang Xia will be able to prove his innocence from the mysterious boss's actions.
