Chapter 1412 1420 [Parrot: ???]
Maori Kogoro was silent for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "It's not an electronic device, it might be a living thing! - Train a parrot that can scream in advance, put it on the corpse, and then when it falls from the building, the bird will open its mouth and scream..."
Mumu Police Department: "..."
Although...But...
Hmm? It doesn't seem to make sense at all, does it?
The former subordinate and superior looked at each other and nodded silently in tacit understanding.
The next second, Inspector Megure waved his hand and sent a few people: "Go to Himuro's house for a surprise investigation to see if he has any similar pets!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Conan: “…”
As an old subordinate of Inspector Megure, Sato Miwako questioned and spoke more directly: "But Inspector, how do you explain the running of the person who fell from the building after seeing the police?"
"This..." Inspector Megure was stunned, and then he activated his best reasoning skills, "Brother Mori, what do you think?"
Maori Kogoro thought for a moment and made up his mind: "So we need to select a strong parrot, prepare a piece of cloth cut into a human shape in advance, and carry out a set of precise training.
“When the murder officially began, Himuro had killed Numao in some way and placed him on the fourth floor stairs of the dangerous building, fixing him in a position where he could easily fall.
"After that, when the patrol arrived, the trained parrot held the human-shaped cloth in its mouth and flew along the stairs, pretending that someone was running. The light was not good at night, so it was normal for the patrol to make a mistake. After flying for a while, it happened to be next to the body, so it kicked the body down and screamed as it fell. In this way, the murder was completed!"
Jiang Xia: "..." Although it was completely nonsense, it seemed quite scientific if one looked at it rationally. If one thought carefully, if one could really find a suitable parrot, one might be able to achieve this technique.
Turning around, Conan was also being led away: "...Could it really be a parrot?" This was a direction he had not imagined.
But soon, he hesitated again, "But there is still a difference between the screams of parrots and humans."
The patrolman who provided the clue stood nearby, with a look of doubt in his eyes. He whispered, "So the person I saw was actually a piece of cloth? But I felt that his movements when he was running were more like a real person..."
Officer Sato also seemed a little hesitant after hearing this.
After thinking for a moment, she looked at Jiang Xia, wanting to find the answer: "What do you think?"
Jiang Xia came back to his senses and said tactfully: "Before we find the parrot, let's investigate according to the normal process."
He looked at the patrolman next to him and asked, "When you witnessed the fall at the death scene, did you notice anything unusual?"
The patrolman came to his senses and temporarily put the image of the parrot fluttering from his mind.
He thought hard: "The light was indeed not very good at the time, but there was a huge billboard nearby for lighting. What I saw was that the deceased ran a few steps and suddenly fell from the building. There was nothing else - if it wasn't for the call Mr. Maori received, it would really look like an accident."
He scratched his head and added, "Compared to the deceased, I think another person is more worthy of investigation—the one who ran away immediately after the car was hit. Although I didn't see his face clearly, he was tall and had an aura that looked like a murderer!"
Jiang Xia: “…” That’s good. If you really saw the face clearly, you would probably be in trouble from some smoke-smelling thugs.
"Don't judge a book by its cover." Inspector Megure thought that the car owner was unlucky. "At least in this case, he is just a victim. After all, he was standing in such a dangerous position. If he was not careful, he would become the second victim... Anyway, let's try to find him and ask him about the situation at that time."
…
He has disappeared without a trace in Ireland, and it is unrealistic to expect the police to catch him with the intensity of their efforts to find witnesses.
Jiang Xia faced the expectant gaze of Officer Sato, and felt like needles pricking his back. He had to swallow back the words "It's getting late today, why don't we check it tomorrow?" and silently speeded up the process: "Since there are no clues on the deceased's side, let's start with Himuro - let's go to the building where he was just now and take a look.
"If the death of the person who fell from the building was really caused by him secretly, then at that time, he might have taken some actions to promote the death of the deceased."
…
With Kogoro Maori's guidance, the relevant locations were not difficult to find.
The group soon arrived at the open-air restaurant he mentioned.
Opposite the restaurant was the building where Himuro Reiji worked at the time.
Fortunately, there is very complete surveillance in the building, and more than one camera captured Bing Shi - the picture showed that he first made a phone call, then went to the bathroom, and finally returned to the platform between the two buildings, stood by the window, and started dialing Kogoro Mouri with another mobile phone to send a "death notice", and then waved to the detective through the window.
Jiang Xia's eyes swept across the surveillance screen and soon stopped at the lower right corner of the screen.
Conan also saw it and said in a primary school student's voice: "Uncle Security, what is this?"
The security guard was a little confused as to how a little brat got into the investigation team, but he still replied in a good-natured manner: "There was a public recording event for the radio channel here today, and this is the equipment used to receive the radio."
Jiang Xia stretched out his hand to the screen and gestured: "The distance between Himuro Reiji and the radio equipment is not far. If we are lucky, we may be able to hear what he said to the other party during the first call."
The security guard understood what he meant and shook his head in confusion: "This is TMS radio equipment. We don't have a backup here. If you want to record it, you have to go to them."
"It's a good thing to have clues." Himuro Reiji's arrogant attitude made the police who were tired of working overtime feel less tired, and they were thinking about how to arrest that guy legally.
Sato Miwako was the first to turn around and go out, "I'll go find out where their person in charge is."
…
The evening event of TMS Radio had just ended, and a group of staff were cleaning up the scene, with all the equipment still there.
Conan also came to this floor.
He observed for a moment and turned to Jiang Xia: "I'm going to ask someone else, do you want to..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slightly stunned: Jiang Xia was just beside him, but now he didn't know what he had discovered and was walking in another direction.
Conan quickly looked over there, and his eyes fixed: at the end of Jiang Xia's sight, there was a woman wearing a hat, scarf, sunglasses, and a loose windbreaker, wrapped up tightly.
This outfit, in the eyes of the detective, immediately changed into two big words.
--suspicious!
Conan touched the anesthesia watch and followed immediately.
