2664【James: I am a good citizen】

Mumu Police Department sighed: "Why did you die at such a young age... By the way, brother Jiang Xia, why are you here?"

Jiang Xia briefly explained the causes and consequences of coming here for the dinner: "After the power outage, as soon as we turned on the switch, we heard screaming from the second floor. When we ran upstairs, we found a body lying at the end of the corridor."

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko nodded like chickens pecking at rice. They were both shocked: "Before the power outage, there was nothing under the window sill. Unexpectedly, when the light came on after the call came, there was suddenly a body there - in just ten seconds

Oh, someone actually went out in the dark and killed someone in front of us, but we didn’t know anything about it at the time!”

Thinking about it now, if the murderer finished killing Himemiya Nobiko, then turned around and gave the three of them a kiss... Suzuki Sonoko thought of Himemiya Nobiko with a bloody head, shuddered, and couldn't help but hug her quietly.

Got his own head off.

"But..." Unlike the Memu Police Department who was chatting with Jiang Xia, Officer Takagi was already involved in his busy work.

He touched the cold body in front of him and said to the two female high school students doubtfully: "But this body is already a little cold. It looks like it has been dead for at least half an hour, and it only took less than 10 minutes for the police car to arrive -

If you had called the police as soon as you found the body...it seems that the time is not right. Were you too scared at the time and misremembered the situation?"

"Be afraid, be afraid, we have encountered so many cases, how could we be frightened and have memory confusion!" Suzuki Sonoko retorted angrily, feeling that her professionalism was being questioned. Suddenly she remembered something, and an idea flashed, "Not at that time.

It’s just the two of us, Mr. Xinghe is also there—if you don’t believe me, ask him!”

Xinghe Tongwu nodded: "These two ladies are right."

police:"……"

When the Mumu Police Department heard this unexplainable suspicion, they couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Fortunately, this case had its own detective brother, so he decisively handed over this problem to Jiang Xia, and he began to work according to the process skillfully.

He ordered his subordinates on the side: "Look for any traces of illegal intrusion. In addition, the corridor here is so narrow. Xiaolan Yuanzi and the three of them are blocked here. The murderer cannot escape past them. The window at the end of the corridor is also sealed."

It seems that the murderer can only leave from the room in the middle of the two ends.

With that said, the Mumu Police Department walked into the house. After a quick glance, his eyes lit up: "It's so late at night, why is the window in this house open - the murderer must have jumped out of the window to escape in a hurry and forgot to close the window!"

After hearing this, Police Officer Chiba walked to the window, looked down, and suddenly realized: "There happens to be a flowerbed down there. The soft soil can be used as a buffer for jumping, and it is very close to the back door... I will take people down there to collect footprints."

!”

With that said, the fat police officer ordered a few people and trotted downstairs.

After he left, Mumu Police Department returned to the corridor. He looked around and was slightly startled: "Where is brother Jiang Xia?"

Officer Takagi pointed to another room in the corridor and hesitated: "Here. This room..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Mumu Police Department looked in and immediately understood: the room had been turned into a mess, the books on the bookshelf were staggered here and there, and there were piles scattered on the floor.

"This scene looks very familiar." The Mumu police department has seen a lot, and a series of situations are quickly pieced together in his mind. "Could it be that someone broke into the house and was rummaging for things when he was bumped into by the deceased, so he killed and silenced him in panic?"

Jiang Xia shook his head: "But this looks like a library that has been dusty for many years. It doesn't look like a place that thieves like."

With that said, he turned around and asked Iida Riki next to him: "What is this room used for?"

Iida stretched out his little finger to push the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and said proudly: "This is the magic information collected by our master, Mr. Masakage, from all over the world - even though it is only a small room, this is actually a whole building.

An incredible magic treasure."

"Treasure?" Police Department Memu's ears twitched and he caught the key word, "In other words, there are some valuable items or information inside?"

"Well, that's not the case." Iida scratched his head, "Actually, what I just said was a bit exaggerated. Strictly speaking, the information here is a collection of collages cut out from books or magazines. It is precious, but it is

It’s not top secret information.”

Next to her, Mrs. Zhengying suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of valuable things... I remember that my husband had a notebook. Every time he had any magic inspiration, he would immediately record it in it. It was his treasure. Usually even I

I can’t read it—but even if I don’t read it, I can guess that it must be a wonderful notebook full of novel magic tricks.”

"Hmm..." The Mumu Police Department didn't know much about magic circles, but after hearing this, he got an idea. He touched his chin, turned to his subordinates and said, "Then let's first treat this notebook as the murderer's motive.

Let’s check them one by one.”



In the Metropolitan Police Department.

James looked at the duty room that was mostly empty in an instant: "This is..."

Opposite him, Officer Sato took a sip of coffee and said as usual: "It's nothing, it's just another murder case."

James: "...?" Wait, don't you think there's something wrong with your crime rate?

Obviously, the answer is no. Officer Sato was not surprised by the sudden murder.

She put down the cup and said earnestly: "Okay, please don't change the subject again. Tell me, how many times has this happened - our society does not allow the free possession of guns. Your behavior is considered illegal and criminal."

"..." James immediately had no time to worry about whether it was a homicide or not. He showed a kind and confusing smile, "I'm very sorry, I won't do it next time."

"Speaking of which..." Officer Sato looked at him suspiciously, "What on earth did you come to Tokyo for?"

——If I remember correctly, the murder that just happened is related to the magic show that James watched... Why do all kinds of murders always happen near this group of people?

"Tourism." Faced with the police officer's suspicion, James looked confident, "We all signed tourist visas, and of course we came here for tourism - Madam, I swear on my next year's salary that our existence will not

If we disrupt social security, you can treat us as friends."

Sato Miwako: "..." I always felt that this old man was lying, but she had no evidence...



Zhengying's villa.

Conan first habitually investigated the situation at the murder scene, then touched his chin and thought seriously about who the murderer was. Suddenly, he realized something belatedly.

Conan raised his head and looked at the Memu Police Department: "..." Wait, why are you here? Where is the suspicious person who was captured by you for investigation?
