Chapters 3536 & 3548 [Uzo Tutoring Class] Requesting monthly votes (づど)
The middle-aged agent looked at the artist who had gone astray with exasperation: "You have the nerve to ask me? Now it should be me asking you!"
“You really are talented in enka, but enka is a skill that requires a long period of accumulation... I've worked hard with you for so many years because I believe in you, so why can't you believe in me a little and fight together to the end!”
Hanzawa Jiro looked at him, then at the police behind him and the large crowd of onlookers, his legs went weak, and he slumped back onto the stool.
Upon seeing this, Officer Takagi strode forward and pulled out his prized police ID.
He glanced at the recovered ID with a touch of emotion, and said to the obscure entertainer in front of him, "Please come with me to the Metropolitan Police Department to cooperate with the investigation."
Hanzawa Jiro nodded listlessly: "...Okay."
He followed Officer Takagi outside the store.
After the two left, Jiang Xia glanced at the spot where Hanzawa Jiro had been sitting. The Tengu understood, flapped its wings, flew over, and quickly returned with a dense mass of killing intent.
Jiang Xia picked up the ball of killing intent and examined it with mixed feelings: "..." It is indeed quite talented, even its killing intent is quite high-end, but the taste is too bad, it actually has the smell of stale wood.
Let's leave the tradition for Noah.
Just as he was about to put the murderous aura into the pile of junk, he suddenly felt a chill. Turning his head, he saw that the Snow Maiden had floated behind him at some point, passing over his shoulder and staring intently at the murderous aura.
"..." Jiang Xia looked at the strange ghost fetus that firmly believed it was born a snow woman and refused to eat mundane things made by humans. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively handed over the foul-smelling murderous aura, "Here, play with it for a while, don't lose it."
The Snow Maiden accepted it with composure, examining the strangely scented mass of murderous aura for a while before turning her back to Jiang Xia, burying her head, and quietly taking a bite.
I couldn't bite it.
Since she hadn't yet formed a contract with the spirit medium, she couldn't handle that murderous aura.
Just as he was staring disapprovingly at the mass of murderous aura before him, a faint voice came from behind him: "Want to form a contract? As long as you join us, you can have as much murderous aura as you want—you can roll around on a small mountain of murderous aura, eat as much as you want, and eat whatever flavor you want."
The corresponding image slowly appeared in the Snow Woman's mind, and a suspicious liquid quietly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She was almost ready to nod, but in the end, she snapped back to reality and painfully pushed the murderous aura back: such an important decision should be made after she remembered her origins.
Jiang Xia: "..."
Although she's lost her memory, she still has a brain. It seems I'll have to continue investigating information related to the Snow Woman, especially anything that suggests someone might have died there…
A spiritual medium stroked his chin, lost in thought.
Just then, a voice came from outside the store. Officer Takagi, escorting the newly apprehended suspect, happily said to Jiang Xia, "Let's go back to the Metropolitan Police Department."
Jiang Xia snapped out of her reverie and shook her head: "I have other things to do today, let's take the statement tomorrow."
Officer Takagi: "!" What?!
If Jiang Xia doesn't go, then, does that mean he has to take this attempted murder suspect back by himself?
Without Jiang Xia by his side, his confidence vanished like snowflakes. Officer Takagi, who had just made the grave mistake of losing his police ID, couldn't help but imagine the even bigger mistake of "the suspect jumping out of the car and escaping midway."
—Given Hanzawa Jiro's physical abilities and unconventional thought process, it's not like he couldn't do something like this!
After hesitating for a moment, Officer Takagi finally sighed and said cautiously, "Never mind, I'll just call a colleague to come and help."
He was guarding the suspect while waiting for the police car.
Beside her, Sonoko Suzuki took out her notebook and started writing and drawing in it.
As she wrote, she asked Jiang Xia with some doubt, "Since Mr. Hanzaki wanted to make it look like the victim fell to his death rather than drowned, why did he put the person in the bathroom? — If it weren't for the shampoo on his trouser leg, we wouldn't have suspected him."
Jiang Xia thought for a moment: "I'm afraid the victim's blood will stain the floor. Besides, the ice can flow directly into the sewer when it melts. If it's left outside, it will be too much trouble to clean up."
"I see!" Sonoko Suzuki exclaimed in realization, but then fell into another deep thought. "Why smash someone to death instead of throwing them into the bathtub to drown them, as I guessed? What if the stone had landed at an angle? Wouldn't that have been the end of it all?"
Jiang Xia patiently explained, "If you throw a sleeping, drunk person directly into the bathtub, that person will drown quickly, and the murderer won't have a sufficient alibi. In comparison, the device used to smash the person is easier to control the timing. In addition, the narrow bathtub also limits the extent of the victim's struggles, making it less likely to miss."
Sonoko Suzuki was somewhat surprised: "So that's how it is... That Hanzawa looks a bit dim-witted, but he actually has such a cunning mind. You really can't judge a book by its cover."
She paused, then remembered something else: "Why not just tie the person to the bathtub and let the water rise little by little? That would create an alibi and eliminate many potential risks."
Jiang Xia: "The method you mentioned has been used before. The case of Ms. Sijing's murder was on the news, and many police officers are familiar with this method. If the same method is used again, it will be easy for people to make connections."
Sonoko Suzuki sighed, "If you use a method that has already been used, it will be easy to get targeted... It's not easy in the criminal world either. If you don't keep up with the times, you will be eliminated."
Nearby, Officer Takagi eavesdropped while secretly thinking to himself, "Detectives really are experts in murder cases. They know themselves better than the criminals themselves. Hanzaki probably never even considered half of what Jiang Xia said."
He turned to look at the foolish entertainer he was holding. "Judging from Hanzaki's expression, this guy probably just had a flash of inspiration and then carried it out without thinking... Speaking of which, Jiang Xia solves cases very quickly. Is it because he understands the thinking of these criminals? Sigh, I wish I could become that perceptive someday."
On the other side of Jiangxia and Suzuki Sonoko.
Yoko Kinoshita's manager shook her head as she listened: "..." What are these high school students talking about? Is this a dangerous topic for them? Yoko mustn't be led astray by them.
The agent: "..." However, upon closer inspection, some of the ideas make a lot of sense and could perhaps be added to the dialogue in future TV dramas—although the screenwriters are responsible for these, they don't have that much case experience, and Yoko is very talented in acting. If someone like Jiang Xia could help write the dialogue...
A dedicated agent slowly drifted into a daydream.
