Chapter 773 How many acquaintances do you have?
Among the police officers, Miwako Sato is outstanding in both physical and mental abilities, and she is very busy.
Therefore, small tasks such as taking notes are usually handed over to others, such as the diligent tool man - Takagi Wataru who moves statements wherever they are needed.
When Officer Takagi first heard that "a detective came to supplement the statement", he couldn't help but smile bitterly - detectives often have to supplement many copies of the statement, which is by no means an easy job.
Later, when he heard that the person coming was "Jiang Xia", Takagi Shigeru felt a little relieved.
——In Jiang Xia's notes, although he often had to make some simple modifications to the prisoners' conditions at the time of their arrest, in general, he was a good kid who didn't procrastinate. He usually wrote notes on the spot, and even loved to go to the police station, so he couldn't save too much.
…
However, when the record-taking actually started.
Gao Mushi looked at the pile of documents and fell into deep thought: "..."
...When did Jiang Xia start to procrastinate?
...Is he finally stained by the detective's big dye vat? Next, will Jiang Xia also rummage around the crime scene and grab the command?
Thinking of this, Gao Mushi couldn't help but reveal a look of pity, and secretly condemned the detectives around Jiang Xia - a good young detective suddenly became like this, he must have been led astray by those unruly seniors...
…
When the pile of transcripts was finally coming to an end, Haibara Ai, who was a habitual late night offender, had already fallen asleep beside her.
Conan was quite energetic. After finishing the record related to himself, he began to wander around the Investigation Section, trying to see if there were any other mysteries - while Jiang Xia was still busy, he quickly solved them and experienced the fun of solving puzzles that he had almost forgotten.
…
The record was completed slowly.
Finally, Jiang Xia signed the records of these cases that had long been closed and in which he had lost interest, and he couldn't help but yawning out of boredom.
...At first, he really liked to run to the Metropolitan Police Department whenever he had nothing to do, trying to pick up some ghosts and murderous aura that the police didn't need while taking statements to avoid waste.
But later, as he got to know more and more people and encountered more and more cases... Jiang Xia gradually discovered that coming to the Metropolitan Police Department to pick up leaks was actually not very efficient.
——Think about it carefully, when an attempted criminal is arrested, the murderous aura is usually lost on the spot. And if the case is completed, it is popular to solve the case on the spot. Once the case is solved, the shikigami rarely persists to the police station, and usually falls on the spot...
The cost-effectiveness is not high, so the frequency of coming to Jiangxia has gradually decreased.
Although he still came every few days to see if there were any difficult cases.
But when things get busy, the priority of "coming to the Metropolitan Police Department to pick up bargains" is lowered a lot.
For example, recently, due to business trips and the addition of new subordinates, Jiang Xia has been delaying coming to the Metropolitan Police Department. He has been busy for quite a while with several cases.
Fortunately, the record is finally over now, and I can continue to deal with the case at hand...
Jiang Xia sighed, secretly reviewed the harm of procrastination in his heart, and decided to take time to come to the police station more often in the future. It was really tiring to do so many tasks at once.
He stood up and said goodbye.
This time no one stopped him.
However, just as I was walking to the door of the Metropolitan Police Department with my two children.
Suddenly, Miwako Sato caught up with him from behind like a gust of wind, and patted him on the shoulder as she passed by.
"We just received a report of a robbery next door. You might be interested." Officer Sato whispered, "The robbery was in a jewelry store. One of our colleagues was patrolling nearby and went to the store to watch the surveillance video of the robbery. According to him, the armed robber in the video looked a lot like Masao Koda."
…
The commission being investigated is related to the case received by the police.
As a detective slowly digging for clues, I should come and take a look.
Jiang Xia quickly took a police car and arrived at the robbery scene.
When I arrived at the jewelry store, I prepared to go to the office in the back to check the surveillance playback.
However, just as they stepped into the store, a beautiful shadow suddenly whizzed through the space, from behind the counter, and trotted in front of them.
Miwako Sato was startled and looked up in confusion, and found that it was a young woman dressed luxuriously.
Sato felt that this person looked familiar. She looked at the woman, then at the store's introduction wall - the wall contained the store's history and the manager's information, with a photo attached.
In the photo, a woman is leaning elegantly on a wooden chair with beautiful patterns. She folds her hands and looks at the camera, with a graceful ragdoll cat lying on her shoulder.
Miwako Sato looked back and forth and matched the person.
——The woman who ran towards them was the manager of this jewelry store, Chihiro Kojima.
...Most likely the victims come here to talk about their losses and ask them to bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Miwako Sato was about to skillfully comfort the frightened victim.
However, before she could open her mouth, the other party walked straight past her, the leading police officer, and snuggled precisely into Jiang Xia's arms.
Chihiro Kojima raised her handkerchief and wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, sobbing: "That man suddenly broke in with a gun, smashed the counter, snatched the gems and ran away. I wanted to stop him, but I was afraid of being shot to death by him... I was so scared, luckily you guys came..."
“……” The two shop assistants huddled in the corner, watching this scene, not daring to say a word.
They remembered that more than ten minutes ago, when the robbers just started the robbery, the store manager Kojima rushed out of the office with a bullet-proof shield in one hand and a decorative shotgun that was usually hung on the wall in the other hand. If she had not happened to be wearing a long skirt today, and unfortunately stepped on the hem of her skirt when opening the door, tripped to the ground, and gave the robbers time to escape... then now, the police might not be dealing with a robbery case, but a gunfight scene.
Even just a minute ago, Manager Kojima was still slamming the table in anger, shouting that the robber must pay the price.
Unexpectedly, now, she suddenly became weak and tearful... Is this some kind of tactic to improve police efficiency? Indeed, when the store manager cried like this, the female police officer leading the team next to her had a few throbs in her forehead, and her fighting spirit seemed to have been greatly improved...
…
Chihiro Kojima leaned against Jiang Xia, sobbing halfway through.
A hand reached out from behind her and coldly and ruthlessly lifted her up and made her stand upright.
Miwako Sato patted her shoulders with both hands and said, "It's a pity that this happened, but please cheer up. And I heard that the suspect was clearly photographed. A large-scale search requires manpower. You can't solve the problem by crying to the detective... You should take us to check the surveillance first."
Chihiro Kojima: "..."
