Since there are acquaintances present, it is customary to find the acquaintances first to understand the situation.
Jiang Xia looked at Professor Iwama and was about to speak, but saw that the professor seemed to have noticed something and suddenly became a little surprised. Soon, he walked straight to Toru Amuro: "Mr. Amuro, what a coincidence, you are also eating here?"
Amuro Toru came back to his senses and responded.
"Is this the kid you want to introduce to me?" Professor Iwama turned to look at Jiang Xia again, extending his hand in a friendly manner, "Hello! I am Nobuo Iwama, just call me Iwama."
Vodka: "..." He suddenly came over to say hello at this time... Are you dedicated to your job, or do you want to emphasize your status as friends with Bourbon in order to put pressure on the "employees of Boss Amuro"?
Jiang Xia was more polite to you when he solved the case?
"Then you are thinking wrong." Vodka gloated in his heart, "It's hard to say who is whose employee."
Sure enough, Jiang Xia didn't seem to have received the signal from Professor Iwama. He shook hands with the old professor, and then asked without any delay: "Can you tell me about the process of dining here today?"
Next to him, Ireland watched this scene and nodded secretly.
"As expected of Jiang Xia, he insists on justice unwaveringly." Ireland said with satisfaction, "It is best to make use of such talents - as long as I show him Uzo's sins, he will naturally become a sharp blade in my hand to stab Uzo.
...But during this process, I must be careful not to expose myself, otherwise my plan will go haywire."
When the cadres of the black organization were quietly distracted.
Next to him, Professor Iwama saw that Toru Amuro had no intention of speaking, so he had to lower his body and cooperate. He explained: "We are here today to celebrate Kaneda - he has just been successfully promoted to associate professor. At his age, this has already been achieved.
It’s a very good achievement. It’s just..."
He looked at the corpse on the table and turned his head away unbearably: "I just didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Jiang Xia nodded thoughtfully.
Police Department Memu was listening with a notepad in his hand. While he was taking notes, he quickly identified the next person to ask - based on his many years of police experience, in addition to the acquaintances of the deceased, the first person who discovered the body was
There is often a lot of suspicion.
"Ms. Anxi." He turned to the pale front desk lady, "How did you find out that something was wrong?"
The front desk took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, still in shock: "I saw Mr. Kaneda enter this box just now, but after waiting for a while, he failed to receive the relevant order... Because the equipment in our store is somewhat different from other places, I
I was worried that the guests wouldn’t be able to use it, so I wanted to come in and have a look, but who knew…”
She glanced at the corpse lying on the table, whined, and raised her hands to cover her eyes.
"Speaking of this." Police Officer Megure scratched his head in confusion, and turned to the two psychology teachers. "Since the deceased, Mr. Kaneda, came here with you, why did he go to another box alone during the dinner?"
Professor Iwama and Professor Arai looked at each other and shook their heads blankly.
The lady at the front desk remembered something, and she whispered to Jiang Xia: "Yesterday, Mr. Kaneda did make a reservation for this box, but when the three guests came in just now, I asked the dead Mr. Kaneda if he had made a reservation.
But he denied it - you were also around at the time, so you may have had some impression."
Jiang Xia responded and agreed with her statement: "In other words, Mr. Jintian made an appointment yesterday and sneaked into this box during the dinner today, but he was unwilling to admit it in front of his colleagues.
.”
"It sounds so sneaky..." Although the Mumu Police Department couldn't hear anything wrong, he still felt that things seemed a bit strange. After struggling for a moment, he gave up thinking, "Anyway, as long as we find the person who made an appointment with the deceased,
The people we meet in this private room should be able to solve the case..."
Jiang Xia nodded despite his questioning gaze.
The policeman immediately straightened his waist again. He cleared his throat and asked the front desk in a majestic voice: "Besides the deceased, who else has entered this box?"
The receptionist thought about it seriously and said firmly: "There is only Mr. deceased himself - the place was empty before he entered. But after he entered, because this gentleman was a little strange, I paid extra attention. Until I came,
No one else has entered this private room."
"..." Memu Police Department was in disbelief, "One, not one?"
...How could this happen? Normally, shouldn't three or four people have gone in, and then the wise and martial brother Jiang Xia would pick out the real culprit?
Upon seeing this, Officer Takagi quietly whispered into his superior's ear and reminded him: "Police Department, do you remember - just now Jiang Xia said that judging from the direction in which the deceased fell, the murderer might have come in by water."
Memu Police Department: "!"
He really forgot.
Officer Takagi took the diagram of the store that he asked the clerk for after listening to Jiang Xia's reasoning: "Look, there is an antique courtyard in the middle of this restaurant, with a total of 8 private rooms surrounding it. The overall shape is square, and beyond that are
A whole circle of water - this man-made stream just surrounds all the boxes. As long as you walk along the waterway, you can easily reach Box 8 where the deceased was killed from any box. "
"Well, not bad." The Mumu Police Department was a little pleased. The unreliable subordinate seemed to be growing into a subordinate. He raised his head and glanced at the large number of onlookers around him, "Go and ask the customers in the store to see if there are any
People pass by the waterway.”
…
Although there were a large number of onlookers in the store, fortunately there were only seven private rooms excluding the deceased, so inquiries could be conducted in batches.
Unfortunately, Officer Takagi failed to get the answer he wanted.
Person in Box 1: "The waterway food delivery in this restaurant is very interesting, so we always pay attention to the creek outside the window. No one passes by it from beginning to end."
Box 2: "Out the window? Sorry, we didn't pay attention."
Box 3: "People in the water? It sounds really scary... No, I've only seen boats in the water."
"..."
Officer Takagi returned haggardly.
"Jiang...Police Department, I'm sorry, I couldn't ask for any information." He sighed and showed Jiang Xia the results of his inquiry, "Except for your three private rooms, there are more than four guests in each of the other private rooms.
, everyone only saw the ships passing by and did not notice anyone sneaking around."
He glanced at the man-made creeks around him: "The water in this waterway is only half a meter deep and crystal clear. In addition, in order to facilitate guests to pick up meals, the windows here are built very low, almost flush with the water surface - if someone dives by,
