Chapter 690 you-know-who Ask for monthly votes
Jiang Xia looked down at the photo, and the scene of Watanuki Tatsuzo being carried into the car by the peripheral members last night flashed through his mind.
Then he decisively dismissed the picture and shook his head.
After thinking for a moment, he asked as a detective would: "When was the last time you saw him?"
"Last night." The policeman put away the photos and sighed. "After Officer Shancun asked the witnesses to go back and rest, we stopped monitoring them. But just now..."
At this point, he hesitated, obviously there was some news that was inconvenient to tell the onlookers.
But on second thought, detectives are nothing but onlookers.
The young police officer quickly stopped hesitating, approached Jiang Xia, and said mysteriously in a low voice, as if to say, "I'm only telling you, don't tell anyone else."
"Not long ago, someone made an anonymous call to Officer Yamamura, telling him that Watanuki Tatsuzo was most likely the murderer. The blood mark on the date 'April 1' on the deceased's notebook was not left there by accident, but was clearly referring to the surname 'わたぬき' - 'Watanuki Tatsuzo'.
"As a result, we hurried to the room, only to find that Watanuki Tatsuzo was missing. He had not checked out, and his luggage was all there, but he seemed to have evaporated... The police officer sent some people to search nearby, and asked me and a few others to ask the guests."
"Is that so?" Jiang Xia nodded, his eyes slightly slowed down, as if thinking about something, but in fact he was not thinking at all. He was just pretending to be thinking, pretending that he really had not seen Watanuki Tatsuzo since last night.
The police officer didn't think much about it. Unable to get any clues from Jiang Xia, he quickly turned the corner and went to ask the next customer.
After he left, a person came out from behind the flower pot.
Jiang Xia turned around and saw that it was Conan.
Conan pressed his forehead, trying to cheer himself up, but he was still sleepy, as if he had not completely recovered from the effects of the drug.
It seems that Vermouth did not hesitate at the critical moment and was very ruthless. I don’t know what kind of medicine she used, but it actually made Conan sleep until now.
…
When Conan woke up in the morning, he was confused for a while before he remembered what happened before he fainted, and he was suddenly terrified.
Last night, he roughly guessed who killed "Mr. August 1st".
But before he was about to head to the woods to start his fishing reasoning, "Suzuki Sonoko" suddenly appeared and knocked him out... Conan didn't remember what happened after that.
After he woke up, the first thing he did was to check if the people around him were still alive, and then he wanted to find the fake Suzuki Sonoko.
However, Mao Lilan told her that "Suzuki Sonoko" sent her a text message saying that the handsome guy she met last time invited her to a concert. The other party seemed to live overseas all year round and rarely appeared in Japan. The opportunity was rare, and she had already seen the maple leaves, so "Suzuki Sonoko" went to the concert overnight to pick up the handsome guy.
Conan couldn't find the suspicious mysterious man who could disguise himself, so he had to focus his attention back on the current case.
He asked tactfully and found out that the case had not been solved yet. Conan originally thought that even if he fell asleep, Jiang Xia would solve the case as he did before, in a slow and measured tone but at a furious speed.
But it didn't happen.
Although Conan was confused, he was also worried that if he delayed any further, Tatsuzo Watanuki would find a way to get rid of any possible evidence.
So he decisively made an anonymous call to Shancuncao, the leader of the team, and informed him of the known situation.
At the beginning, Conan actually wanted to borrow Jiang Xia's voice.
But on second thought, Jiang Xia didn't solve the case directly, maybe there was some extraordinary reason. So in the end, Conan just used the bow tie voice changer to randomly adjust the voice of an adult male to inform the police - even if the physical evidence was incomplete, at least he had to find a way to control Watanuki Tatsuzo for a while, so that he could seize the initiative.
However, it was too late. By the time the unreliable Yamamura Sou commanded his unreliable subordinates to take action, Watanuki Tatsuzo had already run away to who knows where.
…
At this time, Conan stood at the door of Jiang Xia's room, listening to the messy noises upstairs and downstairs, and looked up at Jiang Xia who also looked like he had just woken up. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask about what happened yesterday.
He lowered his voice: "Why didn't you solve the case?"
Jiang Xia squatted down to match Conan's height. Otherwise, with the height difference between the two, they couldn't whisper anything. He sighed:
"There is no evidence to convict. The bloody handprint with the date 'April 1' left before death doesn't explain anything either. Watanuki Tatsuzo can say that the deceased accidentally rubbed it there."
Conan nodded gloomily. Indeed, otherwise he would not have rushed into the woods alone last night to try to lure out Watanuki Tatsuzo.
Thinking of this, Conan suddenly realized something - in the past, Jiang Xia seemed to have done similar fishing behaviors on prisoners, such as luring prisoners of various kinds to various gloomy corners, and then beating them evenly like a piece of pickled pork...
Although the two people's fishing methods are different, after ignoring some less legal details, they both reach the same goal - to quickly bring the criminals to justice and make them receive the punishment they deserve.
But now, considering that Tatsuzo Watanuki is still on the run, Jiang Xia didn’t do that?
This doesn’t make sense…
Conan immediately thought of the biggest influencing factor - Toru Amuro.
“……”Speaking of which, this boss and the trip he planned is still a complete mystery.
There was no progress on Tatsuzo Watanuki's side for the time being, so Conan's attention was drawn to this more persistent puzzle.
He stood on tiptoe, trying to glance into Jiang Xia's room, and then looked furtively at the corridors on both sides, lowering his voice even lower: "That guy is not here." As he said that, thinking of his usual tactics, Conan simply stopped talking. He took out his cell phone, typed a string of text, and turned it over to show Jiang Xia: [Do you have any bugs on you? ]
Jiang Xia: “…”
Although I guessed that "that someone" refers to "that someone"...but why did the boss become you-know-who in Conan's place?
...He doesn't look like a bourbon recently. On the contrary, he sometimes looks like a public security officer. It may be because he stays up late every day, sleeps too deeply, and switches between states too frequently, so he looks a little confused.
As Jiang Xia thought about it, he subconsciously touched various parts of his body.
Of course there is no bug. Even if Toru Amuro really put one, the ghosts would have discovered it long ago. But other people don't know the existence of ghosts, so they have to act as if there are no ghosts... huh? Wait a minute.
Jiang Xia was startled, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be fully awake. He had consumed some energy knocking people all over the mountain yesterday, so now his idea was a little flawed.
