Chapter 745 Hidden Boss Added to Alliance Leader [Xi Yali]
"In addition, in fact, except for the deceased Lao Yang, the real personalities of the others are completely different from the roles they play, or even just the opposite - although 'Red Shirt' is a villain, the store manager who plays him usually cares about the employees; the protagonist 'Young Master' who is supposed to be righteous is actually a gangster with no ambitions; 'Madonna' looks weak, but she was actually a wrestler in the past..."
Miwako Sato thought of those people with strange and contrasting personalities. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead speechlessly. After a pause, she continued, "Fortunately, after investigation, only three people lacked alibis..."
As she spoke, the intercom on her body suddenly rang.
Officer Sato listened carefully to what was said inside, and after responding, he looked at Jiang Xia and said, "The detailed autopsy results are out. I have to go over and take a look first, and then I will go and question the three people who don't have alibis separately later."
Having said that, the casual policewoman looked at Jiang Xia and quickly made a decision: "If you are interested in this case, you can go and ask in advance. Although this violates the relevant regulations of on-site investigation, I can pretend that I didn't see it."... Anyway, Inspector Megure has done this more than once.
Miwako Sato nodded secretly and felt very okay.
…
Although the case occurred late at night, among the dozen or so hotel employees, only three people had no alibis.
All three are bachelors living alone.
——The protagonist "Young Master", the villain "Lackneck", and at the end of "Young Master", the righteous "Porcupine" who accompanied the Young Master to beat up the villain.
Before, when they passed by the entrance of this restaurant, Jiang Xia had already smelled the murderous aura of perfume across the courtyard wall.
——It is in this store called "Shaoyeting".
Moreover, based on the movement of the red dot on the transmitter, the perfume driver's driving route happened to pass by this store.
Combining the previous and subsequent events, Jiang Xia quickly sorted out the general situation:
Last night, the murderer with the scent of perfume killed "Lao Yang" and killed an innocent street cat in that park. Since the cat did not die on the spot but escaped with serious injuries, the murderer did not care about it and hurriedly moved the body into this store and threw it into the pond.
This morning, the murderer sneaked back to the park where the crime was committed and waited to see what was going on. He was spotted by some kids fishing in the park. Then, when the murderer was fleeing the scene, he passed by Jiang Xia who was looking for him. Finally, the murderer hid his car, returned to the store, and blended in with the employees as if nothing had happened.
…
Just now, when the waiters appeared in their dazzling looks, Jiang Xia didn't find them annoying.
Because he successfully found the murderer among this mess of people.
——The high-end murderous aura of the perfume still lingered around the murderer. And then Jiang Xia discovered that there was a fresh Shikigami hanging on the murderer's leg, which should be the "Old Yang" in the pool... All these circumstances combined showed that the case was not over yet. In addition to the dead "Old Yang", the murderer wanted to kill other people.
However, if the murderer succeeds in killing someone, those high-level murderous auras, which are stronger than six groups, will naturally be consumed and cannot be recovered for use.
It's rare for someone other than an organization cadre to produce such murderous intent...
While he was struggling, Jiang Xia had already arrived at the door of the box.
As requested by Officer Sato, the three suspects went into different rooms and waited for more detailed questioning.
Jiang Xia came back to his senses, reached out his hand like opening a blind box, and pushed open a door nearby.
Conan and Haibara Ai poked their heads out from behind him, one on each side, and the people in the room looked up at him - the thin man was wearing a loose kimono, holding a white folding fan in his hand, and looked at them impatiently.
The person in this room is Yoshikawa Gozo, who plays the villain "Lackneck".
He entered the house, closed the door, and sat opposite the suspect.
The "dogleg" looked Jiang Xia up and down, and seemed to recognize that he was a detective. But at the same time, he was very dissatisfied with the police's suspicion of him.
Yoshikawa Tsuyoshi flicked his fan and asked in a sarcastic tone, "What do you want to ask?"
“……” Jiang Xia actually didn’t want to ask anything.
But now, after all, I am still collecting clues, and it is not easy to just turn around and leave. I can only think about the problem perfunctorily.
Next to her, Huihara Ai saw that Jiang Xia did not speak for a while and thought that he had noticed Yoshikawa Gozo's unfriendly attitude.
She thought about it and asked, "Can you tell us something about 'Lao Yang'?"
Originally, they should have focused on observing the conflict between "Lao Yang" and "Gou Tui" this time.
But Haibara Ai was worried that if she asked too directly, the "lackey" would become alert and hide something.
So she took a detour when asking the question - through one person's evaluation of another person, one can actually vaguely see the true relationship between them.
When Yoshikawa Gozo heard this question, he remained silent for a moment, fanning himself.
He looked out the window at the sky and suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "I used to have a gentle and lovely wife. But one day, she suddenly left without saying goodbye. I anxiously looked for her for a long time... It was not until a few days later when the debt collectors came to my door that I learned that she had run away to avoid paying her debts, leaving me with a large debt."
"..." Conan tried to hold back, but couldn't. Time was limited, and this kind of sad story sounded very long. "Well, what we actually want to ask is..."
"She is a good woman, and I firmly believe that she will come back again once I pay off my debt. So I came here to work in order to earn money." Yoshikawa Tsuyoshi suddenly changed the subject and got to the point in just a few words before Conan could speak directly.
He sighed and said, "The salary here is high and the boss is nice. But Lao Yang, who is in charge of personnel, assigned me the role of 'lackey' and always scolded me for not acting like a real person and said I wasn't putting enough effort into it..."
As he was speaking, Yoshikawa Tsuyoshi suddenly took a deep breath and his expression became ferocious at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He suddenly changed from sitting cross-legged to half-kneeling, and in front of the shocked expressions of the three people opposite him, he punched the ground, just like those unwilling prisoners in the past who had thumped the ground to vent their anger.
...But the difference is that those prisoners just made some noise at most.
However, Yoshikawa Tsuyoshi's punch loudly punched through the solid wooden floor.
His roar, accompanied by a terrifying sound of shattering, erupted: "Of course I can't act like such a vile 'lover'! Who would really take on such a despicable role! Is it my fault that I look like a lackey?! Damn it!"
On the opposite side, Jiang Xia suddenly raised his hand and slapped away the flying fragments that almost hit Huibara Ai's face.
Then he dragged the two frightened scumbags on his left and right back to the door and politely closed it: "I have a general understanding of the situation... Then we will leave first, bye!"
