Chapter 749: Jiang Xia Does Not Observe Martial Ethics
"Murder tools? The box only contained ice cubes that I brought for the store manager. He loves cold drinks and can't live without them." Madonna tried to slow down her tone and said softly, "Actually, the store manager asked me to come here tonight..."
She said as she leaned towards the person behind her.
——In Madonna’s opinion, since the police have not ruled out the store manager as a suspect, they may have ambushed here without permission.
In addition, even if the police and the store manager had an agreement, when the store manager agreed to help the police fish, he probably didn't know who would be the one casting the net here.
And Madonna was very sure that the store manager liked her.
In this case, perhaps the store manager will follow up on her excuse and kick out these police officers who broke into private homes at night.
Although this would inevitably make her suspected by the police, the police had no solid evidence that she was the murderer. Licking dogs is very useful, as long as...
A hand suddenly rested on her shoulder, stopping her from leaning back.
Madonna was stunned. According to her expectation, she should have leaned directly into the store manager's arms...but she didn't expect that the old man would push her away.
Doubt emerged in her eyes. She turned her head away from the police and was about to cry.
But the person behind him is not the sixty-year-old store manager.
She met the face of a young man.
…
Jiang Xia looked at the murderous aura of Madonna's perfume, then looked at her shocked expression, raised the hand on her shoulder, and patted her comfortingly.
When he withdrew his hand, he skillfully plucked off a strand of murderous aura that had been loosened due to shock.
…The high-end murderous smell of perfume, although it smells good, it doesn’t smell much like food.
However, I have experienced the murderous smell of disinfectant and formalin. Compared with these, perfume is a very friendly smell. Even if ghosts don't want to eat it...
Jiang Xia glanced down at the bed. The new cat was trying to stretch out its claws towards Madonna, trying to hook the murderous aura on her... Well, if that doesn't work, you can feed the cat. Cats have a different sense of taste than humans, maybe it will find it delicious...
While thinking, Jiang Xia looked at the waist bag on Madonna's side.
Madonna was startled, remembered something, and suddenly raised her hand to cover it.
However, at this moment, the bulging quilt was suddenly opened, and Conan jumped out swiftly. He had obviously been hiding in the quilt and observing for a long time. After coming out, he went straight to Madonna's bag and unzipped it.
Madonna stood up suddenly and stretched out her hand to stop Conan. But she was halfway up when Jiang Xia pushed her back to her original position. Her hand that was stretched out to Conan was also pulled back.
Conan successfully took out a rolled-up piece of plastic wrap from his bag.
When I shook it open, I saw a sharp kitchen knife stained with blood inside.
"How strange." Conan held the knife and said loudly, "Why is there such a thing in the big sister's bag? Ah, I heard that the dead clerk uncle was stabbed to death by a sharp weapon!"
Jiang Xia watched Conan run towards the door and nodded secretly. The mini version of Kudo is really useful... Theoretically, Madonna is still a decent citizen. If the police and detectives directly reach into her bag, it may cause trouble. But first graders will not be held accountable for such things, and they have a natural advantage in this regard.
As for Jiang Xia controlling Madonna just now...it was to stop her from attacking the child, which is called acting bravely.
…
The store manager appeared behind a group of policemen at some point.
He looked at Madonna in disbelief: "It's you... Why did you want to kill me?"
Madonna kept her mouth tightly shut.
After a few seconds, he began to struggle tenaciously again: "I don't know what you are talking about - I have an alibi! Someone asked me to bring the knife here, and I owed that person money, so I could only do as he asked and hide the knife under your pillow."
...Then you just hit someone with your knife. Jiang Xia glanced at the innocently beaten pillow, and then glanced at the innocently beaten ghost cat next to the pillow.
"We asked Grandma Qing, and she said that she usually wakes up at night, but on the night of the murder, when you stayed at her house, she slept through the night." Jiang Xia said:
"Although she thought it was because she felt more at ease with you by her side, on the other hand, it could be that you gave her sleeping pills, using this method to make her fall into a deep sleep and unable to detect your actions... In short, since she was fast asleep, your alibi cannot be established."
"In addition, the distance from the park to here is long, and the deceased was stabbed in the heart. It is difficult to move the body without leaving bloodstains. You went to the park to clean up yesterday at noon, right? Your car passed by twice, and the remaining bloodstains and tire tracks are not as easy to deal with as you think."
“…”
It seemed that the "park", the real crime scene, finally broke her defense. Madonna gritted her teeth and lowered her head, as if she had suddenly lost her strength.
Jiang Xia let go of her hand and watched Madonna slide down from the bed. She knelt on the floor and angrily punched the tatami:
"Lao Yang and the store manager... these two bastards killed my sister! She was my only sister!"
“……?” The store manager was confused.
Several policemen looked at him suspiciously. He waved his hands repeatedly: "I have never killed anyone, and I rarely quarrel, let alone quarrel with young girls. I am already old..."
Madonna pressed her forehead, her eyes ferocious, "Half a year ago, it was my sister's birthday. We were walking and chatting on the snack street when two drunks came over. One of them suddenly raised his hand to hold the other, and then both of them lost their balance and knocked my sister down - that was you and Lao Yang, I will never remember it wrong!"
"Half a year ago..." The store manager was stunned for a long time and had a vague impression.
"My sister has a good temper. When you apologized, she kept saying she was fine and let you go." Madonna said angrily:
"Four days later, she suddenly had a severe headache and died of subarachnoid hemorrhage not long after... My sister was so young. The doctor said that the impact could also be a trigger for the disease.
"After the funeral, I remembered that night, two drunks seemed to be talking about 'Madonna's selection'. I asked around and looked for them, and finally found this store. After that, it took me another half a year to finally make them become rivals in love, so that I could prepare for what happened today... Humph, what a pity, I only killed one."
She raised her head, her eyes were no longer as gentle as before, but full of cold murderous intent.
…
Because she failed to kill the store manager, she might not have the chance again. When she was taken away by the police, all the remaining perfume and murderous aura on Madonna's body fell off.
When leaving the room, Jiang Xia walked at the end reluctantly, waiting for the ghosts to gather their murderous aura.
Conan handed the murder knife to the police, then walked back to Jiang Xia and whispered, "Although setting a trap is a bit unethical, it is indeed effective."
"..." Jiang Xia glanced at him. What do you mean by immoral? Isn't this what you did in another world line?
It's really effective, and the murderous aura is a little more than usual. Kudo-san's various operations are indeed worth learning...
