Chapter 1297 1305 [Wuzao sells melons] Ask for monthly tickets (〃〃)
"No, the man I was chasing didn't look like the murderer." Jiang Xia interrupted their thoughts, "Although there was a distance between us, I could sense that he was in a panic at the time - rather than being 'discovered in the middle of committing a crime', he looked more like someone had invited him to watch the self-immolation of the deceased."
“…Please come and watch the dead burn themselves?”
Although it is just a speculation, since it came from Jiang Xia's mouth, it is worth thinking about even if it sounds absurd.
Thinking about this, the two detectives really thought of something: "Speaking of which, the person who died in the castle tower just now was accidentally 'watched' by a large number of tourists because of the special position when it was burning... Hiss, if it was intentional, then the murderer's hobby is really creepy."
"..." Jiang Xia was silent for a moment: Why does this description sound familiar?
He was just speaking casually just now, but maybe it was because he watched Gin and Vodka fill in the character of "Uzo" every day, so his casual words actually vaguely pointed to the meaning of "Uzo"... Tsk, imagination is really contagious.
Jiang Xia calmly put the case back on track: "Perhaps 'asking people to watch' is not for fun, but a necessary means to achieve certain goals."
Three heads appeared next to me.
As witnesses of the second case, Suzuki Sonoko and others could not help but speak up: "But the situation at that time, no matter how you look at it, it looked like suicide."
Hattori Heiji waved his hands impatiently: "I've told you so many times, it can't be suicide - we will definitely find evidence of homicide!"
As he spoke, he walked to the body, squatted down, and pulled away the cloth covering the body.
Inspector Otaki was startled and hurried over: "Wait, Heiji, put on a pair of gloves first!"
"Don't worry, I know what to touch and what not to touch." Hattori Heiji did not take it. He found a handkerchief to cushion it, then squatted down to find details that could support his speculation.
But just as he reached out to the corpse, a hand suddenly grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him up from the ground.
Then, while Hattori Heiji was looking dazed, he punched him hard in the face.
There was a muffled bang.
Amid the subconscious screams of several girls, Hattori Heiji was knocked half a meter away and fell to the ground with a thud.
He was stunned for a moment, then sat up angrily. When he saw who hit him clearly, he suddenly froze: "...Dad?"
Hattori Heizo stood between his son and the corpse, dressed in black, his squinting eyes slightly opened, his aura majestic and terrifying: "How many times have I told you, don't be rash all the time! Do you know how much workload our police will have if you destroy the scene? Every time you identify fabrics or hair, you must first separate the things related to you. If you accidentally remove some important clues stuck to the corpse, you may not even be able to convict the real murderer in the future. This is the crime scene, which concerns every deceased, murderer and police officer. It is not a place for you high school students to play detective games!"
After saying that, he remembered something and suddenly turned to look at Jiang Xia next to him.
Jiang Xia's hand holding the umbrella moved: "!"
However, Hattori Heizo didn't scold him.
The old detective felt that his words just now were a bit of a bluff. Thinking about Jiang Xia's usual performance at the scene, he nodded in a friendly manner to this good helper of the police: "It would be great if all high school detectives could respect the work of the police like you do - although I have long asked my disappointing son to learn from you, it seems that he has not learned anything now, and is still playing that irresponsible game of house."
Hattori Heizo glanced at his son with an unpleasant expression and said sarcastically, "An unknown tabloid gave him the title of 'Kansai's famous detective', and he actually took it seriously. This random way of searching for evidence based on inspiration is useless except for causing trouble for us - just like tonight, he has watched two people die in front of him, but he still didn't learn a lesson from it!"
Conan was right next to Hattori Heiji.
When he was swept by Hattori Heizo's majestic gaze, he was startled and silently left Hattori Heiji and hid behind Jiang Xia's legs.
Although they both have a powerful father, Kudo Yusaku and Hattori Heizo have completely different paths and styles.
Conan had never been criticized so mercilessly before - although Hattori Heizo was focusing on his unfortunate son, the more Conan listened, the more he felt guilty, and he always felt that some of the things he said seemed to overlap with his own. For example, the title of "Kansai's famous detective", if I remember correctly, the same report also mentioned "Kanto's famous detective" Kudo Shinichi, who was used to compare with Hattori Heiji.
Thinking about it, Conan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia: "..." At this time, he envied Jiang Xia very much. Although this neighbor beat people, drove fast, smoked, and always took advantage of the police's carelessness to secretly pull the trousers of the corpse at the crime scene. But Jiang Xia was still a good detective with a holy light in the eyes of the police. Even Hattori Heizo praised him... Hiss, poor Hattori.
Toyama Ginjiro didn't expect Hattori Heizo to suddenly speak so harshly.
He always felt that this unpredictable director actually had other intentions.
But seeing the miserable Hattori Heiji, he still helped to smooth things over: "Two consecutive murders are not entirely Heiji's fault. We, the police, also have a lot of responsibility."
Hattori Heizo snorted coldly and reluctantly agreed with this. He looked at his son and said, "In short, the police force doesn't need outsiders like you. Get out of the crime scene immediately!"
"..." Hattori Heiji was scolded and punched for no apparent reason. His face felt burning with pain, and his head seemed to be buzzing and he was frozen.
Seeing that he was still sitting on the ground, Jiang Xia looked over with some worry: He was a good detective, but he got beaten silly. I should have stopped him earlier.
Next to him, Hattori Heizo was very confident in his son's thick skin and ignored Hattori Heiji.
He turned around and covered the woman's body again.
Then he looked at Inspector Otaki and asked, "Are these two cases murders?"
Inspector Otaki shook his head. Facing the director who seemed to be in a state of rage, he said cautiously: "In this case, several eyewitnesses said that they saw the deceased set himself on fire and then jumped into the river. We have not found any other evidence to prove that he was murdered.
"In the previous incident where Mr. Kato fell from the castle tower while on fire, we extracted his fingerprints from the lighter left at the scene, and there were only his fingerprints on it. No other igniters have been found, so the possibility of suicide is very high."
