Chapter 680 Gordon's heart skipped a beat
Toru Amuro noticed Jiang Xia's actions and also looked at the notebook.
Jiang Xia opened the page with the problem and handed it to him.
Conan is different from the two organizations' scoundrels, he is a serious detective.
As soon as he arrived at the scene, he looked at the body intently.
After taking in all the information that could be observed with the naked eye, Conan stood up and glanced to the side. Since they were about the same height, he happened to see Jiang Xia's hand hanging by his side. The color of the palm was dark, as if stained with...
A pool of blood?!
Conan was startled and subconsciously grabbed Jiang Xia's hand and turned it over to take a look.
The casual glance just now showed that it was not an illusion. The stain on Jiang Xia's palm was really blood.
...I had just finished looking at a body that was stabbed to death and covered in blood. When I turned around, I saw that my companion had blood on his hands.
"..." Conan has read a lot of mystery novels and watched quite a few horror movies. This kind of third-rate horror movie plot has never scared him, but this time, his heart skipped a beat.
It is hard not to extend the suspicion of Amuro Toru to Jiang Xia. Even if Conan believes that Jiang Xia will not kill anyone, it is hard for Jiang Xia not to be influenced by Amuro Toru. And Conan remembers that according to the approximate time of death of the deceased, Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru left the hotel during that period.
He looked up at Jiang Xia and blurted out in shock: "You..."
"You've got dirt on your hands!"
Beside her, "Suzuki Sonoko" screamed in surprise. Before Conan could react, she took out a wet wipe from somewhere and took Jiang Xia's hand and wiped it twice.
The bloodstains are gone.
Then she took out a bottle of disinfectant from somewhere and sprayed it.
Conan: “…”
He was speechless for a moment at the speed of destroying the evidence.
However, soon, with the interruption of "Suzuki Sonoko", the surprise of seeing the bloodstains subsided. After Conan instinctively made a series of assumptions, he had time to follow the process and find the loopholes in his assumptions one by one.
Then I realized that I was a little nervous and too influenced by the premise that "There is something wrong with Toru Amuro" and I thought about things in a different way.
Amuro Toru is indeed suspicious, and the so-called commission doesn't sound right no matter how you listen to it.
But just talking about what happened today, if you think about it carefully, after Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru left the hotel, they actually went back again and even ordered a table of local snacks for midnight snacks.
Even if Jiang Xia really killed someone, he must have washed his hands before eating. It is impossible for there to be blood on his hands - the bloodstain was on the palm of his hand, which was hard to ignore when there was light.
Next to him, Toru Amuro glanced at Conan and found that it was not his illusion.
——Every time this kid meets him, he is always startled. How on earth does he look like a bad guy?
But on the other hand, this may mean that he played "Bourbon" well?
"The blood must have stained it from here." Amuro Toru shook the notebook that Jiang Xia had just given him, "Jiang Xia just picked it up. There are bloodstains on the back and inside pages. There's a little on my hand, too."
As he said this, he opened his hand and showed it to others. Sure enough, the bloodstain was in the same place as the one on Jiang Xia's palm just now.
A policeman at the scene nearby heard something and ran over alertly, snatching the notebook away: "How could you touch the evidence directly!"
Yes, yes. Conan nodded secretly. Jiang Xia used to be a model detective in the eyes of the police, but today he actually touched the notebook directly. His intuition was right, something was wrong... I hope the notebook is not stained with fingerprints that shouldn't be stained, so I have to pick it up again to cover it up.
His eyes looked back and forth between Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru, and finally fell on Amuro Toru's hand.
…
Although I am suspicious, there is still an unsolved case in front of me.
According to Conan's usual style, even if Gin put a gun to his head now, after he was frightened, he would instinctively free up part of his brain to think about the murderer.
In short, since Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru don’t have any clues for the time being, they might as well think about the case at hand first.
Just now, when Jiang Xia picked up the notebook to check it, Conan had already slipped to the side of the corpse and took a quick look at the situation.
At this moment, for Conan, the blood-stained notebook undoubtedly became a new clue.
Unfortunately, it's in the hands of the police now. Even if they stand on tiptoe, they can only see the back...
While Conan was trying to look up, he suddenly remembered - he had seen this notebook before. Before, when the deceased assistant director asked them to leave a message, he shook this notebook in front of them and showed them the "ホヅミ" written on the back. That should be the pronunciation of his last name.
The police officer holding the notebook felt mixed emotions as he looked at the physical evidence that had been handled by two people.
But when I think about it, the person who touched the evidence is a detective, so I don’t think this is a big problem...
The police officer sighed and looked at Jiang Xia: "Where was the notebook when you first found it? We didn't even see it..."
"There." Jiang Xia turned around and pointed to a place two steps behind him. "Half of it is buried in the leaves. When I passed by, I felt that the sound of the dead leaves rubbing against the ground was not right. I only found it after looking carefully."
By the way, I provided information: "There is a blood stain on the inner page at the position of 'April 1st'. It should be printed by the deceased. You can see relatively clear lines. You can compare it with fingerprints. If this is true, it may be some kind of message he left before his death."
"Oh." The police officer nodded and turned back to check.
As he was talking, the leading policeman came over and asked from a few meters away: "How is it? Did you find any clues..."
The voice stopped abruptly halfway through the conversation.
Then there was a change of tone: "Why are you guys here again?!"
Jiang Xia was startled, turned around, and saw Shancun Cao - a confused police inspector who was not sure whether he was qualified as a policeman, but was quite qualified as a case attractor.
"Humph, retribution! All the cases you've encountered are retribution!" Yamamura Cao looked at Jiang Xia, then at Amuro Toru, and remembered that the three of them had gone to the dark house in the Toushen Forest to look for clues, but these two bastard detectives abandoned him and ran away. "They actually abandoned the righteous police officer and ran away alone. No wonder you have bad luck every day!"
"..." Jiang Xia looked at him with a little regret. If this was the reason for the murder, then things would be simple...
Shancuncao suddenly felt a chill on his back and sneezed.
He rubbed his nose, turned his head vigilantly, and glanced at the frame tree that looked particularly gloomy at night. After looking for a moment, he found nothing unusual and finally wrapped his coat tightly in silence.
