Chapter 780: Uzo Candidates Increased
At this time, after hearing what Jiang Xia had just said, several police officers were looking at the manhole cover in the alley, thinking about extracting traces from it.
Watanuki Yoshiichi rushed forward, pointed at several police officers, and shouted, "What are you doing?!"
Miwako Sato followed closely behind him. But facing an elderly man, she didn't know where to start. Seeing Yoshikazu Watanuki getting closer and closer, she was worried that he would destroy the evidence, so she was about to grab him. At this time, Masao Koda jumped out from nowhere, pressed Yoshikazu Watanuki against the wall, and looked at Jiang Xia: "Where is the body?!"
Jiang Xia took a half step back, looked at the manhole cover under his feet, and recalled the details he had just asked the enthusiastic passerby:
"According to what Mr. Mochida said just now, on the night Ms. Koda Sanae disappeared, the road outside was under construction, and a truck was parked at the entrance of the alley, blocking the view from outside into the alley. If the body was transported through here, it would be difficult to detect from outside.
"There is a construction site across the alley. If Mr. Watanuki wants to hide a body, it would be very convenient to bury it here. An apartment is being built on this site. Once the body is hidden and the apartment is completed, no one will dig it up for decades or even hundreds of years. It is very safe.
"However, things did not go quite as he planned - not long after the body was hidden, the construction of the apartment stopped. In this case, the place could be rebuilt at any time, and the murderer felt very uneasy. However, because the location of the burial was relatively marginal, it might not be renovated, so he took a chance and did not move the body immediately. He just kept watching there with a telescope."
Mian Guanyi's forehead jumped and he denied stubbornly: "The construction site is locked. How could I have carried the body over the wall? I don't have such a strong body. You are slandering me!"
"Don't change the subject." Sato Miwako glanced at him and said, "It must be through the manhole cover." She remembered that Jiang Xia had been staring at the manhole cover, and Watanuki Yoshiichi must have noticed it, but he was still struggling.
Yoshiichi Watanuki's mind went blank.
"Seal off this alley, find someone to go down, and try to see if they can get to the construction site next door." Officer Sato knocked on the iron wall of the construction site next to him. "Go down and collect evidence first, and try to minimize damage to the surrounding area."
Takagi Shigeru resigned himself to his fate, lifted the manhole cover and began to climb down.
Not long after, a "clang" sound of metal collision was heard from the other side of the iron wall.
Soon, a group of people heard Takagi Wataru shouting through the iron wall: "It can get here!"
…
The police quickly contacted everyone at the construction site.
After opening the lock of the construction site, the group went inside and began to search for bodies in the vast open space.
Since you have already started fast forwarding, you might as well fast forward to the end.
Jiang Xia looked at the cosmos in the corner and pointed at it: "Maybe it's here - Miss Koda's colleague gave her a few cosmos seeds that day. If Miss Koda wrapped them in a paper bag, put them in her pocket, and buried the body in the ground..."
Having said this, he sighed and didn't continue.
Subaru Okiya also looked at the cosmos and pushed his glasses.
The land that was turned over a month ago and the land that was just turned over a few days ago would inevitably have some differences, even if they were deliberately disguised - the day before yesterday, Uzo had just asked him to turn over that place, and then showed him the bodies buried there like introducing information.
And now, Okiya Subaru is worried that this will be discovered: as the promoter of this case, although he has tried his best to act very naturally, there are still some suspicious points. And he is facing a genius detective like Jiang Xia who can see through the script of his genius boss in an instant. What if these doubts are connected together...
Fortunately, these concerns did not come true.
——Masao Koda, holding a shovel, suddenly jumped out from somewhere, broke away from the police and started digging.
The problematic soil was quickly picked aside. By this time, it was already dark, and the police did not notice anything wrong. Only the little boy with glasses who had been following Jiang Xia, because he was closer to the soil pile, curiously leaned over to take a look, and even picked up a handful of soil and twisted it. Before he could do anything else, he was carried away by the police, away from the place where the body might be.
Subaru Okiya glanced at Conan. Although this kid was very smart, even the smartest kid wouldn't be able to figure out such a complicated thing... He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stand by and watch.
…
Not long after, the area where the cosmos was located was carefully dug up, revealing the corpse underneath.
On the other side, Miwako Sato has sent people back to the sewer to try to find possible bloodstains.
Mian Guanyi looked at the corpse for a while, then at the police busy at the manhole cover, and finally felt that the situation was hopeless.
——Sanae Koda broke the back of her head when she fell. When transporting the body, he was a little panicked and didn't cover it in time. Blood dripped all the way from the villa to the sewer.
Thinking of this, Watanuki Yoshikazu finally covered his chest, knelt down, struggled to swallow some heart pills, and then said regretfully:
"I didn't mean to kill her. It's just that I lost all the stocks I bought from her, without exception.
"Although this amount of money is nothing to me, I always feel that I have been fooled. When she was selling, the bastard woman acted as if "this will definitely make money", but when she lost money, she just kept repeating that "the stock market is risky". When she came to my house that day, I was very angry and asked her to compensate, but she kept bowing and apologizing, and never mentioned the money. There was no sincerity at all!
"So I said I wanted to terminate my cooperation with her company and told her to get out of here. Then I didn't want to talk to her anymore and went upstairs by myself... Who knew that after hearing this, she would chase me and suddenly grabbed my arm at the corner and asked me to think about it again. I subconsciously struggled and she rolled down the stairs. I was very panicked at the time and had to..."
…
No one knows whether what he said is true or false.
But the police did find bloodstains at the bottom of the stairs in Mitsuguchi's home.
Subaru Okiya looked at this scene and did the math in his mind - Yoshikazu Watanuki would definitely spend a long time in prison.
The organization's mission of "making Yoshikazu Watanuki disappear" was accomplished so secretly and easily, and the police did not find any signs of the soil being disturbed. Everything was perfect.
Okiya Subaru: "..." But, for some reason, ever since the body was dug out, he always felt like he was being watched by something...
Subaru Okiya touched his chin in confusion, thinking of the horrible, badly decayed female corpse, and silently clasped his hands together in his heart - maybe he was being targeted because he had dug up someone's grave before and caused unhappiness?
