Chapter 779 You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery
After rotating 180 degrees, the original left and right were reversed, and the "direction from which the digging sound came" that Chida Chikaichi heard also changed immediately.
——It turned into the construction site next to the Watanuki family. During the day, Subaru Okiya and the Junior Detective League happened to play baseball there.
Subaru Okiya looked at the enthusiastic passers-by who stood there and pressed his forehead.
The "script" that Wu Zuo had told him before did not include anything related to Chikaichi Mochida. It was not known whether it was because this was not a necessary clue or Wu Zuo did not care about this passerby who happened to pass by.
——After all, Usa was a talented young executive. Such a person must be very busy at work. He didn't have the time or the need to follow the whole process of dealing with a president of Watanuki Giichi's status. Subaru Okiya thought that after Usa sorted out his case script and pushed the incident forward, he probably didn't care about it anymore. It was only later that he found that the progress of the case was slower than expected, so he sent his younger brother over to teach and manually advance the task progress.
"..."Wait, so if Wu Zo knew the situation, he wouldn't vent his anger on this passerby.
——A month has passed since Sanae Koda died and was buried. If the witness in front of him had remembered the details of lighting the cigarette that night earlier, given Koda Masao's persistence, he would have dug out the body from the construction site long ago.
Even if the witness said nothing, Koda Masao would not just focus on Watanuki's yard. As long as he followed his reasoning that "Wanuki couldn't drive, so the body was not far away", he might find it if he dug around.
...By this calculation, this ordinary passerby in front of him actually became the reason why Uzo's script could not end on time.
Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru looked towards Jiang Xia obscurely. He decided to pay more attention to the situation of the enthusiastic passers-by after this incident was over.
——If something suddenly happened to Chika Chika after this, and Jiang Xia happened to come to solve the case, then the connection between Jiang Xia and Usa might have to be reconsidered. For example, Jiang Xia revealed this detail to the busy Usa, and then Usa casually crushed the stumbling block in his previous script, and then handed the new case to Jiang Xia to solve, and so on... Although the previous series of investigations made Okiya Subaru more inclined to believe that Jiang Xia and Usa had no connection... But what if?
A cautious scholar should not jump to conclusions before ruling out all coincidences.
Okiya Subaru pushed his glasses up silently.
In the past, he always thought that academics were very boring. Later, when he became a peripheral member of the organization, he found that he was more suitable for academic research...
…
While Okiya Subaru was working hard to push forward the process of solving the case.
A pair of eyes were silently staring at him from behind the reflective glasses.
Apparently, Subaru Okiya is not the only one who loves to imagine and associate.
——Conan connected the events before and after, especially when Subaru Okiya helped them find a place to play baseball and found this place, and then talked about cosmos... I always feel that this is not a simple coincidence.
However, when there are still unfinished cases, Conan will often focus on the cases first.
Jiang Xia also learned the fine traditions of this detective.
Jiang Xia's eyes swept around, quickly passed the alley entrance, and landed on the manhole cover in the middle of the alley.
He walked closer, squatted down and knocked, then turned on the flashlight and looked carefully at the edge.
After a moment, he showed a thoughtful look and grabbed a lucky errand boy and said, "Go find Officer Sato."
…
In the yard separated by a wall.
Yoshiichi Watanuki looked at the last intact piece of grass with mixed feelings.
This time, Masao Koda brought the police to dig up his land with great fanfare, but they failed to dig out the body. This obviously greatly reduced Masao Koda's credibility with the police.
In addition, this troublesome person will also be imprisoned for a period of time for robbing a jewelry store.
...But now it seems that for some reason, the manager of the robbed jewelry store also seems to be on the side of Koda Masao. Now the gems are not difficult to recover, and Koda Masao immediately surrendered after the robbery. If she forgives him, I'm afraid he won't be in prison for long.
Yoshikazu Watanuki actually did not bury the body in his own yard.
Previously, the reason why he did not allow the police and Koda Masao to dig up his yard was because once it was proved that there was no body in the yard, Koda Masao would inevitably turn his attention elsewhere - although this madman was stubborn and annoying, there was one thing he reasoned correctly.
Yoshikazu Watanuki could not drive and had no friends he could trust. He did not dare to take a taxi with the box containing the body as if nothing had happened, so the body is still buried nearby.
...If Masao Koda continues to search around after he is released from prison, I will undoubtedly be in great danger.
After we arrest Masao Koda, we need to find a way to move the body. Where should we move it to?
As Yoshikazu Watanuki was thinking, he suddenly saw a child crossing the cordon and running into his yard.
——It was a familiar little boy with glasses, whom I had just seen this morning, with the famous young detective.
Thinking of this, Yoshikazu Mianguan was stunned and suddenly had a bad premonition.
The next second, he saw the child reaching out his hand and tugging the female police officer in charge: "Officer Sato, Brother Jiang Xia seems to have found the body!"
“?!”
…
Before Miwako Sato rushed over.
Several policemen who noticed the commotion in the alley and were familiar with Jiang Xia came over.
——They had seen Jiang Xia staying here a long time ago, and suspected that this detective who had to work overtime had finally gotten into the groove, so they came over expectantly to see what clues Jiang Xia had found.
“Can I find out when the manhole cover was last repaired?”
Seeing them coming, Jiang Xia pointed at the edge of the manhole cover and said, "We can extract some traces here. It looks like it has been opened recently. In addition, if you don't mind the trouble, you can go down and take a look inside. This manhole cover is right at the door of Mr. Watanuki's side door. There are walls on both sides to prevent people outside from peeking in. If he doesn't want to leave the body at home and plans to transport it nearby, this will be a good passage."
Speaking of "nearby", Jiang Xia thought for a moment, walked to the iron wall of the construction site, jumped up and grabbed the top of the wall, and looked into the site.
Soon, his sight stopped on a manhole cover in the construction site and the lonely cosmos not far away.
Jiang Xia looked at those things, nodded secretly, and let go of them and let them fall back to the ground.
Now that all the clues are found, I can finally start fast forwarding...
As he landed, a large group of people left the yard of the Minguan family and rushed over here.
The leader was Yoshikazu Watanuki. This slightly gloomy old man suddenly became unusually agile.
