Chapter 886 It's All His Fault
Hoshino Terumi nodded.
Unlike Kinoshita Yoko, she had not seen as many real-life scenes. Although she had indeed read a lot of case reports in private, as a heavy detective fan, Hoshino Terumi immediately put herself into the detective's perspective. When she entered the bathroom just now, she instinctively observed the environment and forgot to call the police for a moment...
After being reminded by Yoko Kinoshita, Terumi Hoshino guiltily took out her cell phone and dialed the police number unskillfully.
The convenience of having more people is that troublesome tasks such as calling the police, calling an ambulance, and finding a detective can be done simultaneously without any delay even if there are no skilled workers around.
…
At the same time, the straight-line distance was several hundred meters away.
In the detached house where Ikuko Kojima lives.
The police officers then found another contact lens belonging to President Kojima from Izumi Goo's trouser leg.
Quan Wuxiong's legs went limp and he fell to his knees.
He punched the ground angrily: "It's all that woman's fault! She's the one shirking responsibility! She clearly asked me to buy those stocks, but in the end she said that I caused her to lose money..."
In the past, Inspector Megure might have listened in silence, and then taken the person away with either sympathy or contempt.
But now, because another case happened nearby, they need to rush over to deal with it as soon as possible.
When Izumi Goxiong was halfway through his words, Inspector Megure had already hurriedly taken his men away, leaving only Takagi Wataru and several other experienced police officers to handle the follow-up matters.
…
When Inspector Megure went out, Jiang Xia quickly followed him.
Whether as a "party participant" or as an "enthusiastic detective", he had to go back to Yoko Kinoshita's apartment to take a look.
When a group of people rushed out, the black cat took the opportunity to follow them out, then took a leap of faith, whooshed into the nearby bushes, and disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Xia: “…”
I was so busy thinking about the murderous intent and the case that I almost forgot about the cat... Never mind, I've already touched Ben enough tonight, so this can be considered revenge for being "blamed by the cat" just now.
…
Jiang Xia briefly missed the feel of the black cat, but did not run to catch it. He continued to concentrate on rushing to the apartment where the accident happened.
On the way, he glanced back and found that Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko and Conan were all following him quickly.
The three students, although they didn't know what was going on, felt vaguely that there was a case, so they instinctively wanted to help and join in the fun.
Jiang Xia had frequent contact with these three students and was not surprised by their choice.
He said nothing, and continued to follow the police, concentrating on rushing to the apartment.
…
Just now in the living room, when he saw three classmates breaking into the house, Jiang Xia thought of the current situation.
And at that time, I realized that according to the average speed of the police in handling the follow-up after solving the case, and Mao Lilan's habit of enthusiastically taking notes...
If this continues, the three of them are likely to come into contact with a celebrity party case, and then rush to the crime scene, and then meet Vodka who is having a party at Kaoru Kusano's house.
And Conan has seen vodka.
Tonight, Vodka just changed his clothes, Conan will definitely recognize him...
At this time, Jiang Xia thought that if he had to use excuses like "it's a celebrity party and it's not convenient for outsiders to go", he could stop them.
But this seems too blunt and inhumane.
According to Conan's alertness, it would not be difficult for him to find out the situation of the case by asking the police involved in the case as Kudo Shinichi. He then learned that there was a suspicious strong man in black who participated in the party as Jiang Xia's assistant.
...In this situation, if Jiang Xia continued to stop him, it would seem too deliberate, and it would be equivalent to taking the blame on himself.
So as soon as this plan flashed through his mind, Jiang Xia decisively crossed it out.
…
In addition, sending a message to let Vodka find an excuse to leave in advance is also risky.
——In that case, this guy who looks suspicious just by looking at his face might be highly suspected of being the murderer.
At that time, Conan only needs to ask other people participating in the party about the situation, and he may still guess that "vodka was at the party."
In addition, there is another unimportant reason:
I don't know if Vodka will have an extra killing power when facing the police at close range...
…
In short, Jiang Xia thought for a moment and ruled out several solutions.
Finally decided to do nothing and let everything take its course.
After all, from the very beginning, he positioned vodka as "the enthusiastic and crazy fans who recommend themselves."
In this way, even if there is Vodka near Jiang Xia, as long as Jiang Xia himself is not suspicious, then the one with ulterior motives must be Vodka, the cunning organization cadre: Vodka may covet the connections of the famous detective, or he may be interested in the detective himself, so he sneaked around Jiang Xia to observe secretly. In addition, he may have other intentions towards other people at the party and just came to find the innocent Jiang Xia to get admission.
…
As for the question of vodka's attitude towards ouzo...
At present, Jiang Xia was somewhat surprised to find that Vodka's acting skills were unexpectedly good. His control over his facial expressions was also very good - when he faced "Jiang Xia", he was not only calm, but also a little cold. He seemed to be quiet and didn't like to talk to people, which was somewhat in line with the image of a "mysterious man in black".
Jiang Xia: “…” As expected, once Vodka left Gin and could no longer summon his elder brother for help anytime and anywhere, he could only grow up on his own and instantly became a mature and steady adult... No, no, this is not the point.
The point is, the scene will be so chaotic later, and there will be cases to distract Conan.
Even if Kudo went there, it would be difficult for him to notice Vodka's strange attitude towards Jiang Xia, so it wouldn't be a big problem.
…
Also, if Vodka can’t handle the acting…
Jiang Xia thought that he could still find an opportunity in the middle and send out his old acquaintance "Anonymous" to knock Conan offline in seconds.
——On weekdays, when Jiang Xia is free, he will occasionally drive the Anonymous out to do justice, and in places where members of organizations and high school students are present, he will pick up some murderous aura and rub the camera, leaving a mysterious corner in the photo.
With this kind of foreshadowing, now, Vodka, the organization cadre, is present, Jiang Xia, the high school detective, is also present... The anonymous people are usually hanging around nearby, and usually knock out Conan who tries to take risks... and there is nothing to be found wrong.
…
After reaching a proper conclusion, Jiang Xia decisively put Kudo-san out of his mind and stopped thinking about it.
He and a group of police officers entered the apartment building where Kaoru Kusano lived. While waiting for the elevator, he began to miss the murderous atmosphere upstairs.
…
"The one whose throat was cut was Kaoru Kusano, 20 years old. She lived in room 0802... I found it, this is it."
Inspector Megure checked the information passed by the operator and found the place according to the house number.
He raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.
