Chapter 117 The Law of Conservation of Mood

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Mao Lilan had seen the suicide scene in the bathroom of Qingdao's house a year ago. But at that time, Jiang Xia was soaking next to the bathtub.

She suddenly pushed Jiang Xia out just now because she was worried that this similar situation would trigger some kind of self-destruct button deep in Jiang Xia's memory... But why did Conan react in the same way as her?

The only people who had seen Jiangxia at that time were Shinichi, her, and the Doctor. And Conan was probably just an elementary school student who had just appeared in Mihua Town not long ago...

Mao Lilan's eyes gradually became sharper.

Jiang Xia looked at her expression and felt that there should be a hint of murderous intent here, but unfortunately she couldn't find it.

Conan was just a little distracted just now, but his IQ was still online. He immediately realized his mistake.

A drop of guilty cold sweat fell from Conan's forehead: "Well, actually..." He had always wanted to throw the blame for knowing too much on "Brother Shinichi".

But before he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and secretly changed his words: "Actually, I asked the doctor after he drank too much..."

If you tell others your classmates' secrets without permission, you always feel like you will be punished by Xiaolan. Xiaolan doesn't know how to beat the old man, and if the blame is thrown to Kudo Shinichi here, then the next time they meet, he may not be reunited after a long absence.

A hug, but an iron fist of justice... This is inappropriate, this is inappropriate.

Mao Lilan tasted this sentence and reluctantly believed it.

In her opinion, doctors are indeed not very good at keeping secrets, and Conan is more observant and curious than ordinary children. Jiang Xia seems to rarely engage in sports other than beating criminals and drag racing, but such a person does not like serious sports.

A man who wears bracers on his hands all year round. If Conan feels strange, it does make sense to ask the doctor.

Conan successfully weathered the storm.

He quickly changed the subject: "Sister Xiaolan, call the police first. By the way, don't say it was suicide when you report the crime. I always feel that something is very inconsistent."

When Mao Lilan took out her mobile phone, Jiang Xia also clicked on the screen of his mobile phone to check the time. He compared the start time of the concert and felt that as long as he went fast enough, he should be able to catch up.

Conan happened to raise the question of "suicide or homicide", so Jiang Xia followed his words and said: "I don't think it's a suicide, but more like Miss Qingdao killed her sister and then disguised the scene as a suicide.

"The Roman sound on her headband is a bit strange - there is a long sound in 'yo-' in Ms. Yoko's name. It is also on the keychain, but not on the headband. It is not easy to find regular manufacturers for Yoko's peripherals.

This kind of mistake occurred, so maybe it wasn't a missing print, but it was covered by the blood splashed on it.

"Actually, when I entered the door just now, I saw a stain above the peephole of the door. I didn't think much about it at the time. I just thought that the owner of the house didn't pay much attention to hygiene... But now it seems that it was when Miss Qingdao checked the peephole.

I was careful to get the blood on my headband on the door, which happened to be in a similar position."

Jiang Xia raised his hand to indicate the height, and asked Qingdao Quandai in the bathroom through a wall: "Did someone ring the doorbell when you killed someone, and did you go and see it?"

Qingdao Quandai: "..."

Holding the deceased's cut wrist, Mouri Kogoro was wondering whether it was suicide or homicide: "..."

Standing at the door of the bathroom, Conan originally thought that Jiang Xia would not be able to reason today, and was ready to go into battle to solve the puzzle himself: "..."

The two people in the bathroom looked at each other, and then moved at the same time - Qingdao Quandai fiercely raised her hand to grab her forehead, struggling desperately to remove the physical evidence, although she had no idea how to destroy it after removing it.

But Mouri Kogoro didn't give her a chance to think. He grabbed Qingdao Quandai and stopped her movements. He carefully inspected the hair tie and said in shock: "It's really there."

Conan looked at Jiang Xia who had finished his reasoning, then at Mouri Kogoro who had finished arresting the man, and then at himself who had not had time to do anything. He lonelyly touched the earplug box in his pocket.

The soundproof earmuffs have actually arrived, but it was a complete accident that he met Jiang Xia this time, so Conan didn't bring the earmuffs with him.

He silently took out the memo and added a piece of information - even if he doesn't ask Jiang Xia to go out with him in the future, he must always carry soundproof earmuffs with him.

After all, judging from what happened this time, no one knows whether Jiang Xia will suddenly appear, bring about a murder case, and then deduce the truth by one person as fast as reciting an outline...



Tonight, the only thing that comforted Conan was that Jiang Xia only revealed the key evidence this time, leaving a few other puzzles.

He called the police, and while waiting for the police to arrive, Conan walked around the house and completed other details.

There are many packing cartons in the living room, there are tape marks on the edge of the coffee table, and there is a ring of tape with unknown meaning on the bathroom door... This should be Qingdao Quandai's excuse to pack luggage for a move and ask his sister to cut the tape into a suitable length and stick it on the

On the table, the tape would leave my sister's fingerprints on it. Qingdao Quandai then used these tapes to decorate the "secret room", making it look like my sister had sealed herself in the bathroom.

Also, that kind of imaginary tape could not seal the door at all. Qingdao Quandai originally planned to twist the doorknob secretly when he knocked on the door, pretending that the door was sealed tightly before, but was later knocked open.

This was originally an interesting technique worth thinking about for a while, but...

Conan recalled the scene where Jiang Xia gave a tentative twist and pushed the door open...

Just thinking about it makes me feel desperate for all the people in Qingdao.

Suddenly he met someone who was even more unlucky than him. Conan's stooped waist straightened up a little without realizing it.



The Mu Mu Police Department arrived soon.

This time, before he even had time to say hello, he picked up a murderer with a dull look on his face.

The murderer seemed to have experienced some kind of shock. He asked and said what he wanted, as if he had given up thinking.

After Officer Sato took down his notes, he remembered Jiang Xia's past behavior and couldn't help but secretly lift the corner of Qingdao Quandai's clothes to take a look, but found no injuries on the murderer.

She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Xia with relief again.

Although the case was solved very quickly, by the time a lot of procedures were completed and Kogoro Mori drove the car all the way to the concert venue, the event had already come to an end.

Conan and Mouri Kogoro were both frustrated.

The former was because when he went to his home in Qingdao, he imagined being "held by Mao Lilan in the car" all the way. However, in fact, on the way back, there were no more people in the car, but there was one less person. Jiang Xia sat in the passenger seat,

With the back row empty, Conan not only failed to realize his dream, but also got further away from Mao Lilan...

The reason for Mouri Kogoro's frustration was much simpler - he missed most of the concert, and because he came too late, he once again missed the limited number of peripheral gifts distributed at the concert.

Jiangxia's mentality is very peaceful. The number of his shikigami is +1, and it is once again confirmed that Mouri Kogoro also has the power of death.

Seeing the uncle silently staring at the peripheral gifts in other people's hands, Jiang Xia approached him and comforted him, saying that he would give him a set in a few days...so that he could go to the gathering place of the God of Death.

Mouri Kogoro was obviously very satisfied with this py transaction. His eyes lit up instantly and he was resurrected with full health.
