Conan also pushed up his glasses like Subaru Okiya, with a hint of senior pride in his movements:
Compared to real detectives like them, Mr. Okiya is still too immature - in addition to the pace, the Megure Police Department's reasoning just now that "someone broke in from the safe passage to kill" actually has many other doubts.
For example, if Mika Taniguchi was stabbed suddenly when she just got out of the elevator, and then fell, she should have fallen head-first in the elevator. But now, her head is facing outside, and her lower body is in the elevator.
In addition, after the murder, the murderer should have been somewhat panicked and his pace should have changed. But now the footprints in the house are almost uniformly spaced throughout the entire process, more like someone walking leisurely.
…
The Mumu Police Department also slowly realized something was wrong.
However, it is not that the footprints were found to be suspicious.
Instead, I saw Jiang Xia and Okiya Subaru's whispered exchanges.
"Brother Jiang Xia." Mumu Police Department's ears twitched and he walked towards Jiang Xia, "Do you know the murderer?"
Jiang Xia: "..." The police department has such nice eyes...
The loud voice of the Mumu Police Department made other people look over.
Jiang Xia cleared her throat: "Let's check the alibi first."
"Oh! Okay." Mumu Police Department understood, and his eyes lit up - Jiang Xia must have found the murderer, but he still needs more conclusive evidence.
…
The police quickly summoned everyone to the hall.
While the subordinates were busy collecting evidence.
The Mumu Police Department turned to the security guard, looked solemn, and asked: "Where were you when the crime occurred?"
"All of us were in the lobby." The old security guard looked much calmer than his younger colleagues. "Only the deceased and President Toya took different direct elevators and went upstairs. Less than two days passed after that.
Minutes later, the president came down again."
As he talked, the old security guard himself was a little confused.
——Although there was no evidence, he always felt that President Toya was very suspicious.
However, among the current three elevators, one is stuck with a corpse, one does not stop on the eighth floor, and one does not stop on the 15th floor. In other words, if President Toya goes to the 15th floor and then goes
To kill Mika Taniguchi on the 8th floor, she had to take the stairs down, then take the stairs back to the 15th floor and take the direct elevator down... less than two minutes was not enough at all.
The Memu Police Department also thought of the same thing: "...could it be an external criminal?"
He touched his chin and turned to several of his subordinates: "Go and see if there are any pry marks on the door on the first floor of the safe passage, as well as the surveillance on the road outside."
"OK!"
…
While the police were busy searching.
Jiang Xia walked around in a circle, and finally stopped in front of the elevator that directly leads to floors 1-15.
The incident happened in the elevator next door.
In the direct elevator in front of us, there was not much evidence to be collected. The police officers from the forensics department quickly stopped working here and moved to the next door.
As soon as they left, Jiang Xia walked in quietly.
Just as he stood firm, out of the corner of his eye, two people followed him naturally - Conan and Subaru Okiya entered the elevator one after the other.
"..." Jiang Xia glanced at them silently without saying anything. When no one was paying attention, she pressed the button leading to the 15th floor.
Conan and Subaru Okiya looked at each other with confusion.
Then very quickly, they all came to the conclusion that "this person is probably here to learn how to be a detective" and they all looked away.
…
The elevator goes up quickly.
After a few seconds, the metal door slid open, revealing a corridor covered with soft carpets.
“It’s really upscale.”
Conan muttered and walked out of the elevator door. After taking two steps, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He frowned and knelt down, touching his feet.
When I raised my hand again, there was some light yellow powder on my palm - like pollen.
Conan was confused for a moment, looked around, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He was about to say something, but before he could say anything, Jiang Xia happened to walk up to him and accidentally bumped his knee on his back.
Conan fell down on the carpet and swallowed his words "I understand everything!"
Conan: "..."
He quietly got up and looked back at Jiang Xia, but his eyes met with Okiya Subaru's.
After being stunned for a moment, Conan understood instantly: He almost forgot that there was someone else nearby, and he had to pretend to be a primary school student... But why did Jiang Xia specifically guard against this narrow-eyed person? Could it be that he sensed something was wrong with this person?
Conan: "..." Speaking of this, Subaru Okiya is indeed a bit suspicious. This person has been staring at Xiaolan before...
…
Okiya Subaru looked around and suddenly felt a sharp gaze.
Turning around suddenly, he saw Conan pushing up his glasses and staring at him in deep thought.
"..." Subaru Okiya couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"Haha, it's nothing." Conan showed him an innocent smile like a child, "I just feel like I often meet Okiya-san, what a coincidence."
Okiya Subaru: "..." Is it very often? Counting this time, I have only encountered it twice in total.
And every time, Wu Zuo was vaguely nearby... No, it should be said that Jiang Xia was nearby, and Jiang Xia seemed to easily attract Wu Zuo.
When Usa was mentioned, Okiya Subaru's mood couldn't help but drop a little.
He chatted with the child for a few words, then turned to look around.
At some point, Jiang Xia walked up to the "evil staircase" in the middle and was looking down at the button to call the elevator.
After a few glances, the young detective turned around, as if he had seen through the truth: "Let's go, it's time to go back."
Conan also nodded, showing a look of regret.
Okiya Subaru looked at Jiang Xia, and then at the child who was no taller than his own legs: "..." What do you understand?
…
The three people returned to the hall again,
Although he was a little confused, there was one thing Subaru Okiya understood with certainty.
——After walking around upstairs and downstairs, the case is almost over.
"I just heard from the security guard that President Toya came to the company more than an hour ago, and she left quickly afterwards. The dusty shoe prints on the 8th floor should have been left at that time - as long as you wear a large size
Shoes, if you walk back and forth, the shoe prints are not difficult to forge.”
Under Okiya Subaru's gaze, Jiang Xia spoke quickly as if dragging a progress bar: "After that, President Toya left the company, temporarily disposed of the pair of shoes, and came back due to time constraints, and we...
Eyewitnesses' rendezvous."
Having said this, he turned to President Toya: "You and the deceased lady got on different elevators in front of us.
"After that, as soon as you got out of the elevator on the 15th floor, you immediately dialed the deceased's number and asked her to come to you on the 15th floor. After she came up in the elevator, she was stabbed to death as soon as the door slid open. You held her body up as she fell.
