Chapter 1246 1254 [A Promising Woman] Ask for a monthly ticket (`)
Nakamori Aoko asked innocently: "Why are you turning over someone's collar? ...!!!"
Before she finished her words, she saw the homeless man's neck.
There was a circle of deep strangulation marks on it. In addition, the distance was close, and the hideous face of the man was completely exposed. Before her brain could react, she instinctively understood - this person is dead? !
Nakamori Aoko's expression was blank for a moment, then she closed her eyes and screamed: "Ah——!!"
Jiang Xia: “…” A familiar scream.
But what was unfamiliar was that after waiting for a while, he found that there was no familiar alarm sound.
"..." Jiang Xia turned to look at this girl who looked very similar to Mao Lilan but was obviously not proficient in her job. His eyes became gentle and he reminded her like a senior, "The person is dead. Call the police."
"Oh, okay, okay!" Nakamori Aoko came back to her senses after being called by him, and wanted to touch her cell phone a little panickedly.
As soon as she raised her hands, they were pulled back again - her hands were entangled by the handcuffs she had put on herself, and she was still tied to Jiang Xia.
Nakamori Aoko could only frantically find the key, and then, under Jiang Xia's tolerant gaze of "you still have a lot of room to grow", she uncuffed herself and hurriedly dialed the number.
…
Inspector Megure arrived quickly with his men.
When he saw Jiang Xia, who was disguised as "Kuroba Kaito", he was stunned for a moment: "Brother Kudo?"
After a moment, he looked at his hair carefully, then touched the back of his head awkwardly: "Oh, no."
Jiang Xia: “…” How can you tell them apart? Is it really just based on the hairstyle?
Inspector Megure seemed to have communicated with Inspector Nakamori next door and knew that there were two young talents who looked very similar.
Therefore, he did not dwell on this point too much and quickly asked his subordinates to start handling the scene.
…
"He must have been strangled."
Inspector Megure thought of what the two high school students had just told him and rubbed the back of his head. "The luggage and painting tools you mentioned were not found nearby. I don't know if he lost his luggage himself or someone else took those things away. If it's the latter..."
His expression became serious. "Is this a murder case? But why murder a homeless person? And why use such a sophisticated method as 'strangulation'..."
Jiang Xia took out his cell phone. When he was changing his appearance just now, he also borrowed Kuroba Kaito's cell phone to prevent his disguise from being exposed.
He opened the album and flipped through it. "Speaking of which, when I ran into this homeless guy before, I took some photos of him because his paintings were very strange and he always repeated the same scenes. I wanted to help him find the place in the painting when I had time. But now... I'm afraid I can only use it to find clues about the murderer."
"His paintings?" Inspector Megure took a quick look and found that it was not an abstract graffiti, but a very realistic portrait that could even be used as a photograph. His eyes lit up immediately, "Let me see!"
Aoko Nakamori stood nearby, looked at Inspector Megure, then at "Kuroba Kaito", and tilted her head in confusion.
She had always thought that Kaito didn't like the police very much, but now it seemed that the two sides got along quite well.
Nakamori Aoko: "..." A thief shouldn't like a policeman. So Kaito is really not Kaito Kid?
But... when she looked at "Kuroba Kaito", she always felt that something was strange.
…
On the other side, the police and the "Phantom Thieves" get along very harmoniously.
Inspector Megure and Kuroba Kaito gathered together and looked at the paintings in the album.
"There is an iron tower behind the right side of the house, and behind the left side... there are so many chimneys, it should be a factory that is still in operation." Inspector Megure has been handling murder cases in various places for many years and is familiar with many places in Tokyo.
Seeing this very realistic portrait, he touched his chin, looked at Sato Miwako next to him, and said hesitantly: "This should be in Shizuno Town. I remember this factory. It seems that someone fell to death in their chimney."
Jiang Xia: “…Hmm?” When did this happen? How come I don’t know about it?
Sato Miwako came over to take a look and nodded firmly: "Yes, this is it. And I remember the tower next to it. Someone fell to his death that night. We made two trips there in one day."
Jiang Xia: "..." Although there is no evidence, he always feels that he has missed a lot of ghosts... Should he go to the police school in the future? However, it may be a long time before he graduates from high school.
It would be nice if I could have a police subordinate who wouldn't have to do anything extra, just provide the files of "accidents" or "suicides" immediately...
Jiang Xia sighed with great regret.
Next to him, Nakamori Aoko sighed in sync with him.
Hearing the voice of "Kuroba Kaito" beside her, she was slightly startled and turned to look over.
Then he nodded secretly in his heart: Kaito also felt sorry for those lives lost in accidents. Such a kind person must not be that lawless thief!
Nakamori Aoko: "..." But, to be honest, Kidd doesn't really hurt anyone except for his love of stealing...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at her watch.
It will soon be the 8 o'clock evening as announced.
At that time, as long as Kidd shows up at the "Angel's Crown", Kuroba Kaito will be cleared of suspicion - with so many police officers around to testify, his alibi is very solid!
…
Both police officers still remembered the approximate location in the painting.
The group quickly rushed to Shizuno Town in a police car.
The painting was extremely accurate in proportion, as if it had been taken from a photograph. Although it was already very dark, it was not difficult to find the location of the single-family house in the painting with a rough estimate.
"It should be this one." Jiang Xia quickly found one of the houses in the row, "The one with 'Hayashi' written on the nameplate."
Miwako Sato turned her head and suddenly realized something. She paused and said, "There is a ginkgo tree in the yard of this family. There happened to be a ginkgo leaf in the shoe of the deceased."
…
A group of people got out of the car and hurried to the gate of the courtyard.
As soon as I arrived, I heard a noise.
"?"
The courtyard door was wide open, and several people walked to the door and looked inside.
I saw a car parked in the yard, and two people from a cleaning company were standing next to the car, with the vacuum cleaner humming.
The cleaners' voices could be heard, and they were obviously confused: "This is a new car that just came out of the factory, but they asked for the most expensive cleaning package. In fact, a car like this can be cleaned with just a little cleaning."
Another older employee laughed and said, "The owner must be a germaphobe. In addition to the car, didn't she also ask us to clean all the places in the house that might have been touched?"
“…”
Several policemen looked at each other for a moment, with a suspicious gleam in their eyes.
Jiang Xia touched his face and boldly expressed their thoughts: "It looks like someone is trying to clean up the crime scene after silencing someone."
