Chapter 744 Huiyuan Ai understands and adds more to the leader [Xi Yali]
In the story, Lao Yang has a beautiful fiancée named "Madonna".
The dean of studies, "Red Shirt", took a fancy to her. In order to take Madonna away and keep her for a long time, Red Shirt, together with the principal, transferred Lao Yang to a remote area to teach.
...At this point, it might be because I had been acting for too long and was too immersed in the role.
After discovering "Lao Yang's" body in the pool.
The straightforward "Porcupine" touched his unshaven chin, frowned and looked at the store manager, and said sadly: "Red Shirt, you finally took action against Lao Yang for Madonna."
The beautiful woman who played Madonna was stunned and covered her face in disbelief: "How could this happen..."
"..." The store manager was the store manager after all, and he was the first to become normal. He straightened his collar and sighed, "What are you thinking? I won't do such a despicable thing."
There was a swish as a folding fan opened. The skinny man who played the role of Red Shirt's lackey waved his fan and immediately agreed, "That's right. The store manager would never do such a despicable thing."
The man who played the fat principal twirled his mustache and pulled them apart: "Okay, okay, we are all family, how can we doubt each other?"
Officer Sato: "..."
Her forehead jumped, and her fists at her side made a clicking sound. She tried to keep smiling: "Everyone, now is not the time to act... First, go into the hall and tell me about your relationship with the deceased. If you have other clues, please provide them to me."
She took a group of employees, found a nearby room, and went in to ask.
Conan instinctively slipped over to eavesdrop.
Huihara looked sadly at the door of the room, then looked at Jiang Xia, and reached out to tug at the corner of Jiang Xia's clothes.
After Jiang Xia squatted down skillfully and shortened the distance between them, she leaned over and whispered, "Aren't you going to tell Officer Sato about the cat?"
...If the yellow-pink fibers on the cat's paws were indeed from the shirt of the deceased 'Lao Yang', then it means that the first scene of the murder was most likely not this strange restaurant, but the park where they found the cat corpse before.
This made Huiyuan Ai a little confused - this was obviously an important clue. If she could think of such a thing, Jiang Xia must also understand it. However, now, Jiang Xia, who always cooperated happily with the police, deliberately concealed the clue.
This made Huiyuan Ai instinctively nervous, and she began to wonder if this meant that this case was once again related to the organization. After all, apart from this reason, she couldn't think of why Jiang Xia suddenly became passive in solving the case.
Jiang Xia's eyes moved, and he withdrew his gaze from the employee, observing the murderous aura, and remembered that he really forgot to say it.
...Fortunately, this is not a big deal.
He said calmly, "No hurry, let's look for clues first, it will be more convenient to talk about it together later. Besides, the fewer clues the police have, the easier it is for the murderer to relax his vigilance, and he may reveal flaws without even knowing it."
"Is that so..." Huiyuan Ai nodded in understanding. These policemen are indeed unreliable in solving cases. I was too impatient just now. When dealing with the police in the future, I should learn more from Jiang Xia...
…
Jiang Xia walked around the yard, checked the body, and briefly stopped at various places where there might be clues.
After demonstrating the steps of "collecting clues" to the onlookers, it will be convenient for him to explain his own sources of relevant intelligence in the future.
Jiang Xia walked into the hotel and found the lobby.
——It was a place temporarily borrowed by the police to question witnesses.
At this point, the basic questioning had been completed. After being questioned by the police, several familiar employees finally lost the relaxed atmosphere of acting just now and gathered together, whispering something.
Next to her, Sato Miwako was looking through the new information she had collected. When she looked up after reading it, she saw Jiang Xia entering the room.
She then came over naturally and gave Jiang Xia more information, starting with the relatively important ones:
"At the moment, the store manager is the most likely suspect. Not only does he live in the store, he was also the first person to discover the body.
"The most important thing is that it's not just a drama. In real life, he and the deceased who played 'Lao Yang' were also love rivals - they both liked Toyama Chiaki who played 'Madonna'."
The store manager was a normal person. He had obviously realized his situation from the questioning just now.
Because Officer Sato unconsciously glanced at him when he spoke to Jiang Xia in a low voice, the store manager keenly noticed the clue.
He waved his hands hastily to defend himself: "Lao Yang is the backbone of the personnel here, how could I kill him and cut off my own arm?"
However, this explanation sounded feeble and powerless - the Tokyo residents present had all witnessed some murders to some extent, and they knew that such words were completely powerless to prove their innocence.
But Jiang Xia believed him quite a bit.
He glanced at the store manager's clean calves, then looked away in boredom and turned to other employees.
Conan caught the clue of "love rival" and was ready to take action.
He looked around carefully and felt that there was no one here who looked like a member of the Black Organization - except Haibara Ai, as she had already defected.
So Conan carefully released a little of his detective nature.
He turned to the conflict between Madonna, the deceased, and the store manager: "Sister Madonna, do you have any idea about the relationship between them? For example, when you get close to one of them, the expression of the other one..."
Madonna thought hard. She shook her head and nodded quickly, a little sad and confused:
"Yes, but because in The Young Master, 'Lao Yang' and 'Red Shirt' are rivals in love, so I thought they were just pretending in front of the clients, or they were too into the role - 'Lao Yang' is usually very strict with us, and often warns us that if we want to play a role well, we must put our whole body and soul into it. So even if the client is not there, we will maintain our identity as the characters in the play. I didn't expect..."
Perhaps she felt that in this case, the death of "Lao Yang" might be related to her, so she stopped talking, sighed, and left with a sad expression.
The questioning has been completed now, and except for Madonna, many employees have left here.
After the remaining few key members left, Sato Miwako closed the door and sighed.
She handed the record of the previous questioning to Jiang Xia:
"Things are a bit complicated... Although the conflict between the store manager and Lao Yang is indeed more prominent. But if you look closely, except for the store manager, all the actors here have a very bad opinion of the deceased. In other words, they all have motives.
"——In the novel, Lao Yang is an honest man who accepts everything that happens, doesn't know how to refuse, and even helps count money when he is cheated.
"But in reality, the deceased was very strict with his employees. He was usually responsible for guiding their acting skills and had the power to fire them."
