Anyway, the car was already in the car, and they could only follow it all the way to the crime scene.
After all, they were neighbors in Mihua Town, and the two sides were not far away. Not long after, Jiang Xia saw the lawyer's majestic single-family house through the car window.
At the same time, on the other side of the road, police cars came one after another and stopped on the not-so-wide street.
…
The difference from the past is that this time there was a lively witness at the crime scene.
"The deceased Tsuyoshi Maehara, 20 years old, was a college student living nearby." Officer Takagi pointed to the body, then pointed to the shivering young woman next to the body, and said to Jiang Xia, "This is his friend, Sanae Sugita."
He flipped through the information he had just collected: "I heard from Miss Sugita that the deceased came here today to help the owner of the house look after the house and feed the dog when he was about to go out. The owner just called to inquire about the situation, and during the call, that
The dog suddenly jumped up and threw the deceased downstairs, causing the deceased to break his neck and died on the spot."
Jiang Xia looked at his watch thoughtfully, and then walked straight to the dazed young woman next to him: "Can you tell me the specific situation?"
Sugita Sanae was shocked and came back to her senses.
The fashionably dressed female college student looked at Jiang Xia, then at the policeman next to her, and recalled with fear: "Yesterday Xiaogang told me happily that he had bought a big house and asked me to come here to dance and listen to music.
"I usually live in an apartment, and I will be scolded by my neighbors if I make any noise. When I heard what he said, it was hard for me to refuse, so I came over happily - it seemed to be a little after 8:30 at that time, and it was not yet
to nine o'clock.
"We opened a few bottles of beer and played songs and danced on the expensive player in the living room, but before we could play for long, the owner of the house suddenly called us.
"Xiao Gang turned off the music in a panic, picked up the phone, chatted with the other person for a few words, and gave the phone to John. But who knew that the dog... the dog suddenly pounced on him fiercely!
"Xiao Gang was thrown downstairs by it. I was frightened. I was afraid that it would chase me and bite me, so I ran out of the door quickly."
"Then she met me." Mouri Kogoro touched his chest, which was hurt by the door frame, and puffed up his chest proudly, "Fortunately, the dog knew faces, otherwise I would have let him experience the private detective's iron-blooded method-catching dogs.
We are professionals!”
Mu Mu Police Department: "..." What is professional in catching dogs? Although Brother Jiang Xia is indeed very professional in catching dogs, this is not what private detectives should be proud of.
He sighed for this detective brother who was not doing his job properly, and brought the topic back on track: "The suspect dog... cough, where is the vicious dog that hurt people?"
Jiang Xia pointed to the corner of the wall.
The police turned around and saw a group of first-grade elementary school students gathered around, reaching out to pet the big dog huddled against the wall.
"You guys!" Memu Police Department was startled, "Stay away from it, what if it bites someone again!"
Conan frowned and looked unusually angry: "John won't bite people for no reason."
The young woman suddenly became angry: "But Xiaogang didn't do anything and he was attacked by it!"
Mao Lilan also walked over and touched the dog's head tentatively. She suddenly realized something: "Police Department, how will John... be dealt with?"
The Mu Mu Police Department sighed: "It attacked passers-by for no reason and caused casualties. Such a dog can only be sent to be euthanized."
"Euthanasia?" Lawyer Sakaguchi heard this and looked at his dog with a sad look on his face, "How could this happen..."
Hui Yuan Ai looked at the depressed children and couldn't help but look at Jiang Xia: She always felt that this matter was not that simple. If so, maybe Jiang Xia could think of a way.
And when he looked at it, he saw that Jiang Xia was looking down at the screen of her mobile phone, with an expression that looked like she was thinking.
"?" Hui Yuan Ai checked it carefully and found that Jiang Xia was using his daily mobile phone, so he couldn't help but tiptoe out of curiosity: What are you looking at? Let her have a look too.
Jiang Xia noticed her movement and conscientiously lowered her phone.
Haiyuan Ai came closer to the screen and saw a piece of news from eight years ago with the unremarkable title "Mihua Middle School Student Suicide".
"A middle school student hanged himself at home because he was bullied by his classmates..." Hui Yuan Ai looked at it and suddenly remembered the previous conversation between Jiang Xia and Conan.
Her expression changed slightly, she glanced at the dog owner next to her, and whispered to Jiang Xia: "Could this student who committed suicide be the son of Lawyer Sakaguchi? - Speaking of which, considering his age, today's deceased should happen to be his son.
My classmates back then..."
"Little girl, are you doubting me?"
A cold voice came suddenly to my ears.
"?!" Haiyuan Ai was startled, and turned back quickly to see Lawyer Sakaguchi approaching unexpectedly.
The mini scientist's heart suddenly thumped - being able to detect their whispers in such a timely manner means that this lawyer has been paying attention to Jiang Xia's movements... He really has a big problem!
She couldn't help but regret that she had been too careless just now. However, soon, she saw Jiang Xia nodded, and then the detective answered without hesitation: "Indeed."
Haibara Ai:"……"
...That's right. As long as Jiang Xia's suspicion is correct, then they really don't need to be sneaky. The only ones who should feel guilty are those who caught them whispering.
At this time, Mumu Police Department was also attracted by the movement here, and he immediately came over: "Brother Jiang Xia, what did you find?"
Jiang Xia: "I was thinking that John might not have attacked passers-by for no reason. The time when he pounced on the deceased was actually very clear - at that time the deceased handed the mobile phone to him, and the person opposite the mobile phone who was talking was its owner."
After all, the Megure Police Department had rich experience and slowly understood what Jiang Xia meant: "In other words... Mr. Sakaguchi took the opportunity to give instructions to the dog at that time, which led to it attacking the deceased?"
Jiang Xia nodded.
"How is this possible?" Lawyer Sakaguchi waved his hands quickly. He looked at Jiang Xia accusingly, "Aren't you right next to me at the time? You should have heard it. I didn't give any instructions, I just gave John a normal shout.
call."
As he said that, he turned to look at his dog: "Hello, John. How are you, John?"
John turned to look at him and wagged his tail happily. As expected, he had no intention of attacking.
"Look." Lawyer Sakaguchi spread his hands, "This is not an attack command at all - I have raised John for many years, he is like a relative of mine, how could I let him attack people."
At this time, the mobile phone of the Mumu Police Department vibrated and suddenly received a message.
He glanced down, his face changed slightly, and he pulled Jiang Xia to the side furtively.
