Chapter 837: Keep your eyes open when looking at Jiang Xia
Vermouth recalled the past reports about "Kudo Shinichi" with confusion.
She vaguely remembered that in addition to having strong observation and thinking abilities, cool guy also had very accurate intuition.
However, now it seems that facing a person like Uzo who kills a few people every now and then to liven up his mood, or even kills several people a day to liven up his mood, and has countless lives on his hands, cool guy actually didn't react much...
Is it because Uzo’s acting is too good?
Or is it that he doesn't think he is doing anything bad, so he can be as open-minded as a good person from the bottom of his heart, so that the cool guy's intuition is also misled by this cognition, and he thinks that Uzo is really a good person?
Thinking of this, Vermouth felt a little complicated for a moment.
At the same time, there is still a trace of fear.
...Fortunately, Uzo is not the enemy in this matter, otherwise hundreds of cool guys would not be able to be delivered.
…
The four people each have their own ideas.
Before there was time to communicate more, the car had already arrived at the crime scene.
They entered the apartment by face recognition and saw Kogoro Mouri, who was drunk.
Kogoro Mouri stood at the door, and seemed to have been a little sobered by the murder case. However, since he had no clue about the case, he had to do what he could: he began to comfort Sayuri Shimamura who was crying with her hands covering her face.
…
"Haha, we meet again." Officer Gao Mu greeted Jiang Xia weakly when he saw him and sighed, "I didn't expect there would be another case tonight... Did you come to help because you heard the sirens? Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing. If you have a case, just come to me. I am willing to help the deceased find the real murderer and let them rest in peace. This can also make me realize my own value." Jiang Xia's tone was quite flat when he said this, but everyone could hear the sincerity in his words.
He quickly immersed himself in solving the case, looked at Takagi Wataru, and asked politely: "Would you mind telling me about this case?"
“…”
Beside her, Vermouth looked at Jiang Xia obscurely, with mixed feelings:
From this perspective, Wu Zuo's acting skills are indeed good. In what she said just now, even she couldn't see any signs of lying.
If most of the targets assigned to Wu Zo's missions had not died as expected, and Wu Zo often inadvertently revealed a director's perspective of knowing the ending... maybe they would really believe that "everything is just a coincidence" and "Jiang Xia is just a detective with an event-oriented physique."
...Oh, yes, Vermouth thought, Bourbon should be excluded from this "them" - if she remembered correctly, that guy really still thinks that Jiang Xia is just Jiang Xia.
Come to think of it, Gin had also been deceived by Uzo's appearance of being an "obedient subordinate" for a long time...
Vermouth's depression from the night of frustration faded a little. She leaned against the wall in the corridor, lit a cigarette, and took a comfortable puff.
——Compared to this, Wu Zuo's words and actions just now were not directed at her, but just instinctively carried a little bit of his habit of teasing others. In comparison, she was the one who suffered the least among her colleagues.
Comparison can indeed bring people a sense of superiority, and Vermouth's mood gradually became cheerful.
…
Next to her, Jiang Xia turned his head, glanced at Vermouth, then turned back with a slightly disappointed look.
"The first people to discover the body were Mr. Mori and Miss Shimamura." Takagi Shigeki did not notice the subtle change in Jiang Xia's mood.
The honest police officer was flipping through the notebook in his hand and whispering information to Jiang Xia: "Based on the stiffness of the deceased's jaw and neck, it is preliminarily determined that she died around 9 o'clock in the evening.
"Combined with the situation at the scene, we actually think this may be a case of burglary and murder - the French window in Miss Shimamura's room was not locked, and she was in a hurry to go out after hanging the clothes in the afternoon, so she didn't pay attention.
"From the balcony of the emergency exit in the building, one can jump directly to the open-air balcony of their house. In other words, if the French window is not closed, the criminal can easily sneak into the room. The murderer may have entered the room from this entrance, and then was discovered by the deceased while searching for valuables in the living room...which eventually led to this tragedy."
Beside her, Sayuri Shimamura covered her face with her hands and cried very sadly: "It's my fault that Kazumi hurt me. If I had checked the doors and windows carefully at that time..."
Miwako Sato, who was exhausted from working overtime, looked at her sad face and could only cheer herself up and comfort her with a few words.
Then get to the point: "Can you tell us about your actions tonight - this will give us some information about the robbers." ... and by the way, see if it is possible that you killed someone and then disguised it as a burglary.
Thinking of this, Sato Miwako raised her hand and pressed her forehead: similar things happened too many times, and she was almost forming a conditioned reflex. Especially when Jiang Xia was present, this famous detective seemed to be able to smell the atmosphere of the incident. Every time he appeared at the scene, he basically faced a premeditated murder case... However, there were indeed many such cases, and investigating acquaintances first was also a necessary procedure.
Thinking of this, Sato Miwako couldn't help but look up at Jiang Xia.
She saw that Jiang Xia had finished talking to Gao Mu and was now listening carefully to what was happening on her side.
Sato Miwako nodded in satisfaction: Very good, no need to repeat it later. Maybe after she finishes talking to the witnesses, Jiang Xia will be able to find the murderer immediately, and then everyone can finish overtime and go home...
Sayuri Shimamura could not hear the police officer's complex heartbeats.
She wiped away her tears and sobbed, "I have been working overtime in the company this afternoon. At about seven in the evening, I remembered that Hemei had a bad cold, so I wanted to come back to see how she was and whether I could help prepare dinner... I got home at about eight in the evening, and Hemei was still sleeping, so I didn't disturb her and left again.
“When I got back to the car, I met Mr. Maori and we went for a ride together.
"Who knows when I come back..."
Sayuri Shimamura took a look at the bloodstains on the floor, turned her head away as if she couldn't bear to watch it, and cried even harder.
"I see." Sato Miwako listened and quickly wrote down the situation.
Sayuri Shimamura met Kogoro Mori at around eight o'clock in the evening, and the two went for a ride together, and returned at around midnight.
The victim was killed at nine o'clock in the evening.
If this is true, Sayuri Shimamura undoubtedly has an alibi.
"Mr. Maori." Sato Miwako walked to Maori Kogoro again, looked at the resigned police officer, and found that he was not so drunk anymore, so she asked, "I heard that you were going for a ride with Miss Shimamura tonight... Can you tell me the details?"
