Qing Shuiyang tried hard to recall the previous whereabouts of the deceased: "He may have gone to a convenience store to buy side dishes for alcohol. We didn't prepare side dishes for the party. It happened to be very close to the convenience store, so everyone decided to drink and buy them now, so the deceased
We didn’t care if he left.”
Jiang Xia asked the house owner: "Are you sure you received a call from Mr. Kusaka before the deceased went out?"
The owner of the house nodded: "Yes, we have always agreed not to look at our phones when drinking. Kusaka is also aware of this habit. The call was from a landline. The call that came after 9 o'clock was indeed his voice.
"
As the first person to discover the corpse, Kusaka Masami has been targeted many times tonight. He was covered in cold sweat and looked at Jiang Xia again: "I really didn't!"
Maya Hashimoto looked at him suspiciously: "..." If he really has not committed a crime, then hugging Jiang Xia's thigh is indeed the best way to get rid of Uzuo's persecution.
But in my impression, there were many real murderers who would specifically seek Jiang Xia's help in getting rid of their crimes in the past, with the idea that "if you deceive Jiang Xia, you have deceived everyone, once and for all" - human courage is infinite, as long as they are not caught
, everyone will feel that they are the sons of destiny. And I am afraid that only by standing opposite Jiang Xia and being caught out by him as the real murderer, can I find that this good-tempered detective's sense of oppression is actually terrifyingly strong. In some moments, it is not even better than his.
The devil's boss is bad.
Thinking of this, Maya Hashimoto's thinking froze and she quietly looked at Jiang Xia.
"I must be thinking too much." Looking at the five good young men who were patiently comforting the suspect and enthusiastically helping the police solve the case, Maya Hashimoto withdrew her gaze, forcibly relieved her hanging heart, and held it tight, "Jiang Xia
How can it be the same as that thing? As for the sense of oppression I feel... I am an outlaw with bloody hands. I am very nervous when facing Jiang Xia. Isn't this normal? This is the same as when facing Wu Zuo.
The feeling is completely different.”
As if he had been frightened by some kind of sudden thing, the iced black tea he was pouring next to him suddenly stopped.
"..."
Jiang Xia was already used to Maya Hashimoto's intermittent efforts. Among all the refreshments, this new boy was definitely considered diligent, so he magnanimously pretended that he had not noticed anything and concentrated on solving the case.
Opposite, Mouri Kogoro was still trusting his first instinct. He asked Kusaka Masami suspiciously: "I remember you said that you and the deceased made an appointment to meet downstairs - if you didn't call, how did you tell him
Did he make an appointment?"
"I didn't make an appointment with him, he made an appointment with me!" Kusaka Masami wiped the sweat from his forehead, "And it wasn't through a phone call. He put a note in my cabinet and asked me to make an appointment tonight at 10
Click here to meet.”
Mouri Kogoro: "Where is the note?"
Kusaka Masami: "I threw it away..."
Mouri Kogoro's eyes suddenly became more suspicious.
Jiang Xia also came to join in the fun: "Why did he ask you out so late?"
Rixia was already stiff and hesitated: "This..."
Qing Shuiyang slapped his head and suddenly remembered something: "By the way! Remember you said that the deceased stole your money!"
When he revealed the matter, Kusaka Masami had no choice but to grit his teeth: "Yes, he stole the tuition fees I had to pay."
"Very good! The evidence is complete. It seems that the case can be closed." Mouri Kogoro snapped his fingers and snorted coldly: This real murderer has been asking Jiang Xia for help. Does he think he is being deceived by his pitiful appearance?
Is it possible to escape the crime smoothly by living as a simple high school student——He was caught out by a reliable senior in the detective world!
It was time to show off his adult detective skills. Maori Kogoro straightened his tie and raised his head proudly: "You had a grudge against him for stealing your tuition fees, so as soon as you heard that he would come to have dinner and drink tonight, you immediately caught him.
This opportunity - you called him to ask him out at around 9 o'clock in the evening, and then the deceased went to the appointment at around 10 o'clock. You took advantage of him being drunk and unable to resist, and smashed his head with a blunt instrument!"
"It's really not me!" Kusaka was already panicking, but soon he thought of coping skills, "When it comes to motives, they also have them, and they have more than me!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and pointed at the strong man who looked very upright: "I heard that Ikuta borrowed a lot of money from you and has been defaulting on repaying it. This is your motive for killing him!"
The strong man was sober from drinking: "I have always stayed in the house and never left!"
Qing Shuiyang nodded. The first person who ran to the scene seemed to like not only eating melons, but also talking about melons. He looked like a good helper for detectives.
He had no intention of protecting his friend. He had just revealed Kusaka Masami's motives, and now he stabbed the strong man in the back with justice: "You do stay here most of the time, but you actually went out for a short time - I
I remember it was around 10 o'clock, just when Ikuta left."
Mouri Kogoro was startled: "It's past ten o'clock, isn't that the time when the deceased died?"
This time it was the strong man's turn to break out in a cold sweat: "But I only went out for two or three minutes! The room was too stuffy, so I went out to get some fresh air, that's all."
Everyone was looking at him, and the pressure on Kusaka Masami suddenly dropped.
Realizing that this trick was very effective in besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, he kept up his efforts, pointed at the owner of the house, and said to Jiang Xia and the police: "There is also Zhuye! Aren't we all members of the mountaineering club? One winter half a year ago, we planned to challenge a snow mountain, but the result was unfortunate
During a snowstorm, that bastard Ikuta got lost with one of our girls.
"At that time, Ikuta saw that her leg was injured, so he left her alone. Later, he luckily met the rescue team, but the girl died unfortunately - the woman who died at that time was Takeno's lover!"
"!"
This motive sounded the most powerful. A group of people immediately looked at the owner of the house and confirmed to him: "Is that so?"
"That's right." Takeno was still heartbroken when he mentioned that incident. "To this day, I am still worried about this incident. When I see Ikuta, I want to beat him. But feelings are feelings and reason is reason. I am a senior
As a mountaineering enthusiast, I know that in that situation, I can only bear the pain and sacrifice my companion. Ikuta has no obligation to accompany her to death - and I rarely eat food and drinks when drinking, so I don’t need to go to a convenience store to buy those things.
I didn't leave the room at all tonight."
Jiang Xia nodded after hearing this, and then looked at the backstabbing expert next to him.
Qing Shuiyang racked his brains and couldn't find the memory of the owner going out: "I can testify that Takeno did not go out tonight."
However, maybe because he thought it was too brief and not satisfying enough, he added some additional information: "The only few times he left the wine table, he either went to the toilet or moved the wine... Oh, by the way, Jiu
When it was almost ten o'clock, he went to the next room to catch up on a report that was due tomorrow."
