Okiya Subaru immediately recognized the nature of the sound.
He became alert and quickly turned his head to look outside the door. He saw that Jiang Xia had already followed the sound and walked out of the room, heading straight for the stairs. The kid with glasses followed immediately.
Seeing someone running, Okiya Subaru instinctively ran a few steps along with him.
After following him outside, he realized when the cold wind blew that he shouldn't have come to join in the fun.
But this room is very close to the stairs. People are already on the stairs, so it’s hard to go back in despair...
Okiya Subaru had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Jiang Xia - but speaking of it, when he knew that he was not the real murderer, only Jiang Xia, a detective who could accurately see through the truth, could give him a sense of security.
"..." But he didn't dare to follow too closely. After all, just now, the detective really left a small shadow on his fragile mind.
…
The police's reaction was slower than theirs, and they followed behind.
Several people walked along the stairs from the 7th floor to the 6th floor. They saw Yoshino Satomi sitting in the corner next to the elevator, looking in his direction in horror.
Okiya Subaru looked at her, then looked back in the direction of her gaze, and his eyes fell on Jiang Xia.
Okiya Subaru: "?"
Why are you looking at Jiang Xia with such horror? Could it be...
He was startled, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind again.
But soon, his keen observation skills made him realize that he seemed to have made a mistake - it seemed that what Rimi Yoshino was looking at was not Jiang Xia, but the stairwell exit blocked by Jiang Xia.
The agent lady raised her hand and pointed to the stairs tremblingly: "Inside the Death Array...he, he ran away from there after he fired the gun just now."
"What?!" Inspector Asa just ran down in a hurry when he heard such shocking news.
He turned back to look at his subordinates and said angrily: "How did you search the building? How did you manage to let people hide for such a long time!"
The subordinates looked at each other: They searched very carefully, but they still missed the real murderer?... There must be something wrong when colleagues searched elsewhere!
Inspector Asa watched them getting ready to play football, and his forehead jumped: "...Forget it, let the forensic department come down to collect evidence first."
Then he looked at Yoshino Rimi, whose legs were weak, and frowned: "Tell me in detail what is going on."
With the support of Mao Lilan, Yoshino Rimi stood up in shock.
She looked at the stairwell: "Just now, Mrs. Nanjo said that the camera screen was too small, so I came down to prepare the projector. Because there is only one floor between here and the crime scene, the stairs are more convenient than the elevator, so I took the stairs down.
"Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door to the stairwell, I saw the man dressed as 'In the Death Array' who was about to step onto the stairs.
"He fired a shot at me. I was very scared at the time. I knelt on the ground with weak feet and escaped by mistake. After that, he didn't bother me, passed me, and ran away down the stairs."
Okiya Subaru looked at her, then at the open-air stairwell, and finally at the two familiar... barely acquaintances next to him.
Jiang Xia and Conan were seen touching their chins with similar movements, lowering their heads and thinking about something, very much like detectives.
The news about the calm in London and his own luck, which could not be said to be good or bad, gave Subaru Okiya a little more courage.
He quietly moved next to Jiang Xia: "Do you already know the murderer?"
...If Jiang Xia finds the real culprit, then he will naturally get rid of the suspicion, so that he will not need to be arrested by the police for investigation, and will not need to be photographed by reporters, and then published in the newspaper and seen by Wu Zuo.
The light of hope gradually lights up.
However, at this time, Jiang Xia yawned, shook his head, and frowned: "Sorry, I only slept for a few hours in the past two days. I feel like my brain is rusted."
Okiya Subaru: "..."
Stop——!!!Why do you have to stop at this time!!
conspiracy.
...Is this another Uzo conspiracy?!
Jiang Xia glanced at the frozen younger brother from the corner of his eye: "..." Well, the roar in his heart but the look of surprise on his face that he didn't dare to show is also very similar to vodka.
Let him think about whether there are any similar ones around him, and take the time to pick them up. Maybe there is another fresh dessert flavor.
…
The group waited for a while.
Soon, the police officers had preliminary results:
"We found no traces of bullet casings or gunpowder - the escape stairs here are built on the side of the building and are open-air. The wind was strong tonight. It may be that the location where the murderer fired was too close to the stairs, so those traces ran outside.
"
Inspector Asa felt confused: "Then go look outside!"
but……
He thought about the scene downstairs and his head got bigger: it was not an easy task to find a bullet in the grass outside, and it was already dark now.
Fortunately, now, there is another clue.
——The projector is ready, they can play the video of the murderer "inside the Death Array" and get information about the murderer.
…
When they were about to start the screening, Conan also took advantage of the chaos and slipped into the room where the projector was.
When Jiang Xia and Okiya Subaru were talking just now, Conan also heard the sound.
Not missing the opportunity, he decided to take advantage of Jiang Xia's overtime work and increase his efforts to solve the case. Although in fact, Detective Kudo was serious enough every time he solved the case, but now, glancing at Jiang Xia next to him, he only felt that his detective skills were not good enough.
There is still room for improvement.
Conan is about to find a suitable viewing position.
But when passing by the bookshelf with various tapes, he turned his head and suddenly found a single tape that was pulled out on top of the neatly stacked tapes.
"Um?"
Conan picked it up and took a look, and then he was surprised - the tape was actually warm. This meant that it had probably been running in the machine before being taken out just now.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xia noticed something strange on his side, and took a closer look - this kind of thing hidden on the bottom shelf, if it wasn't exactly the same height as Conan, would ordinary adults really
It's hard to notice.
Jiang Xia's eyes passed through the transparent protective shell of the tape, fell on the tape inside, and then looked at the tape recorder beside it.
Then he handed Conan a glove and said: "Don't touch the physical evidence. This police inspector seems to have some opinions on us. He is not as easy to talk to as the Megu police department."
Conan subconsciously took the glove, and then suddenly was startled: "..." Wait, Jiang Xia called this tape "physical evidence"... Could it be that he also understood the method used by the murderer?
I promised that my brain will be rusty today!
At the door, Subaru Okiya quietly looked over, and vague clues could be gleaned from the changes in the expressions of the two people.
