Chapter 1413 Chapter 1421 [Find out the mastermind]
After catching up with Jiang Xia, Conan reached out and tugged at his shirt hem, and whispered, "There are too many people here, don't knock on people, or you'll be photographed."
Jiang Xia: “……?”
He stopped and looked down at Conan, about to say something.
Fortunately, after a while, Conan reacted himself - he suddenly remembered that the guys who were sneaking around the TV station seemed to have some other possibilities besides suspicious people.
...For example, Kogoro Mouri who is following the mistress.
...For example, some celebrities.
While hesitating, Jiang Xia had already walked behind the woman and whispered, "Ms. Yoko."
"!!"
The sneaky Yoko Kinoshita was startled and froze: even though she was covering herself so tightly, she could still be recognized. She thought she had alarmed the fans hiding nearby.
After a moment, he suddenly reacted: "..." This seems to be... Jiang Xia's voice?
She wrapped her scarf around her neck and turned around cautiously to find that it was indeed Jiang Xia. Kinoshita Yoko patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me. I thought I had to work overtime again... Come in and talk."
She opened the door of the lounge next to her, grabbed Jiang Xia and pulled him in.
Conan: "..." Why are your movements so skillful?
While muttering, he also followed in. His skill was no less than that of Yoko Kinoshita, and he was not caught by the door.
…
In the lounge.
Jiang Xia looked at the tightly wrapped Kinoshita Yoko and felt that this popular artist must have taken some required courses on disguise. If it weren't for Xiaobai's sharp eyes, he might not have been able to recognize her at the first time.
He thought of the case just now: "You participated in the activities of TMS Radio? The business is very wide."
Kinoshita Yoko smiled, a little embarrassed: "Actually, this is not my area of expertise, but the organizer wanted to use my popularity to liven up the scene, so they asked me to be a guest."
As she spoke, she remembered something and looked at Jiang Xia: "Your home doesn't seem to be here, why are you here so late at night? Is there another case?"
Yoko Kinoshita was a little curious. After all, she remembered that she didn't see any police car or cordon when she went upstairs: Could the body be somewhere higher up?
Jiang Xia interrupted her thoughts: "There is indeed a murder, but the crime scene is not here, it's just that the suspect has been around here before - speaking of this, do you want to ask other police officers and detectives to come in and discuss it together?"
Yoko Kinoshita nodded immediately. She has always been a kind and helpful citizen.
At the same time, Kinoshita Yoko secretly thought: It seems that there will be another page in the "Jiang Xia Case Clippings" at home. Maybe she can also participate this time. After watching too many cases being solved, it is inevitable that she will feel itchy. Although she is not good at solving cases, she can stand by and cheer...
…
In the corridor outside.
In the blink of an eye, Kogoro Maori discovered that two juniors with a strong presence were missing.
Looking more closely, he saw that the door of a lounge was suddenly opened. Jiang Xia poked his head out of the room, looked around, and quickly fixed his eyes on him, waving at him stealthily.
There seemed to be a short figure at Jiang Xia's feet, who looked like Conan no matter how you looked at him - these two people actually got into the staff's room.
Maori Kogoro: "..." These two guys are really good at running around. But why did they suddenly come to him? Could it be that the staff in that room didn't want to deal with the children and wanted to investigate them for trespassing, so he, an adult, was needed to clean up the mess?
Thinking of this, as a mature adult, Maori Kogoro straightened his collar and strode over proudly: "Humph, I told you not to run around, but you just didn't listen. So, at the critical moment, it's still someone like me who needs help..."
He suddenly stopped at the door of the lounge, his expression frozen.
“Yangyangyang…Ms. Yoko!!”
Maori Kogoro, a big fan of Kinoshita Yoko, recognized the person in the room at a glance. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran downstairs: "It's really rude to meet empty-handed. Flowers go well with beauties. Wait a minute, I'll go to the flower shop downstairs..."
"..." Jiang Xia was quick and grabbed the clothes on his back and pulled him back into the house. "Let's solve the case first, Uncle Maori."
When Kogoro Mouri heard his voice, he suddenly woke up from the glorious image that Jiang Xia had helped him to create in front of Miss Yoko, that is, "a calm, reliable, secretive detective who only takes action at critical moments."
He turned around, cleared his throat, and said calmly, "Yes, solve the case first. Solve the case. Business is more important."
Yoko Kinoshita: “…” What a lively middle-aged detective.
She pretended that she hadn't seen anything just now, adjusted her expression, and nodded solemnly.
…
The police also noticed the movement here.
A group of people quickly sat down in the lounge and asked about the microphone that appeared in the surveillance footage with Himuro Reiji.
Kinoshita Yoko thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about the settings of the equipment. Let me ask someone else for you. Wait a moment."
She stood up and walked aside to make a phone call.
The young patrolman, who had been sitting on the sofa with his head down since he came in, quietly raised his head.
He quickly glanced at Kinoshita Yoko's back, then looked away, his face flushed and his heart pounding.
Jiang Xia caught a glimpse of it and was silent for a moment: ...Are all the people in this world who are involved in murder cases more or less Yoko fans?
Xiao Bai saw his thoughts and nodded in praise: She must be very strong in the event physique! And she rarely affects herself.
Jiang Xia: “…” In the eyes of ghosts, this is really a merit that is worth being proud of.
Thinking that it was getting late, Jiang Xia didn't plan to waste any more time.
He raised his hand and waved it in front of the young patrolman.
"!" The patrolman came back to his senses, sat up straight, and responded solemnly, "What's wrong?!"
In his eyes, famous detectives are also considered "stars" and have their own halo. After all, he has hardly ever been involved in any murder cases and has met very few detectives.
The ghost-shaped dry-eating cat paced back and forth beside him, meowing in dissatisfaction: This guy treats his puppets and Jiang Xia's real body in a completely different manner. Obviously, the cores of both are the same... Humph, stupid humans who only look at appearances.
Miyano Akemi picked it up and patted its head: This couldn't be entirely blamed on the patrolman, because when she saw a cat squatting quietly beside her, she would also want to reach out and touch it...
Jiang Xia didn't notice the ghosts' little movements and was still diligently pushing the progress bar.
He looked at the patrolman and said, "The light around that building is not good. It's hard for ordinary people to detect the movement on the fourth floor. And I asked you just now, that doesn't seem to be your usual patrol route. How did you think of going to that abandoned building at that time?"
