The Mumu Police Department sighed: "This prisoner is lucky. If there was no power outage, he might have been caught on the spot by the enthusiastic people."
Jiang Xia pointed to the corpse sitting next to the escalator: "Our luck is not bad. At least the deceased tried hard to leave death information, so we don't have to look for a needle in a haystack in this building."
The brown paper bag held in the deceased's arms was already empty. The Mumu Police Department stared at the three symbols "OXΔ" on it and scratched his head: "But what does this mean?"
Before he could think of anything, a young police officer ran over: "Mr. Jiang Xia, the call record on the victim's mobile phone shows that half an hour ago, he had a call that lasted 1 minute and 31 seconds. Comparing the time of death,
It should have been not long before he was killed."
"Really?" Jiang Xia took the mobile phone in the evidence bag and pressed callback very naturally, "Then let's see who the call was to."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bell rang, and a series of eye-catching bells rang among the crowd of spectators.
Everyone looked around, and a social animal with a high hairline suddenly became the center of everyone's attention.
"?!" The social animal hurriedly took out his mobile phone and instinctively hung up the phone.
The ringing disappeared and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, in the next moment, several shadows faintly fell on him.
"..." The social beast raised his head stiffly and found that there were several strong men around him at some point.
The Mu Mu Police Department and several of their younger brothers surrounded him and asked solemnly: "Half an hour ago, were you the one who was talking to the deceased?"
Social animal: "..."
…
"Although I did call him, I definitely did not kill him. You must believe me!"
The social animal wiped the sweat from his forehead, hesitated for a moment, and chose to tell the truth: "Recently, my boss discovered that someone in our club embezzled public funds. Because I am the general affairs director of the company, this matter finally fell on me. My boss ordered me
Dig that moth out within a week.
"I really didn't know where to start, so I went to a detective agency that was said to be very good at this business - the deceased Nakajo Katsunori was the detective responsible for helping me investigate this matter."
Jiang Xia: "Why do you want to meet in a crowded and noisy shopping mall like this?"
The Minister of General Affairs sighed: "Because I have to work overtime today - our club is on the 8th to 11th floors of this building. I thought that I would go back to the office as soon as I get the investigation results, but who knows... Sigh.
"
Jiang Xia nodded: "The brown paper bag in the deceased's arms is empty, and the investigation report inside should have been stolen by the murderer. Combined with the phone call you made before... the murderer this time is probably the one who embezzled public funds.
Man - he became aware of the deceased's investigation into him, and because he didn't want to be exposed, he chose to steal the information and kill people to silence him."
"I see." The Memu Police Department asked the social worker opposite, "Who do you think the guy who embezzled public funds will be?"
The Minister of General Affairs smiled bitterly and said: "If I knew, would I still spend a lot of money to hire detectives? But a few days ago, Nakajo gave me a list of suspects. At that time, he had just started investigating and could only determine a rough scope of suspicion."
As he spoke, he dug into his pocket and took out a piece of paper that he had read many times: "It's all here."
Megure Police Department and Officer Takagi looked over and saw fifty or sixty names densely packed on the paper.
Two policemen: "..."
Judy raised the corners of her mouth silently: "..." It turns out that it's not just the FBI, the Tokyo police are also suffering the same pain... Having said that, they have a common enemy, and both sides should work together to eradicate Uzo first, but in reality
On the contrary, the police gave them a lot of trouble with the FBI.
Thinking about all the experiences she and her companions had, the corners of Judy's mouth gradually became unable to curl up.
Next to him, Officer Takagi's smile also disappeared. He looked at the mind-numbingly long list: "Police Department, this..."
"..." The Mumu Police Department patted him on the shoulder, "We police officers cannot be afraid of difficulties - investigate! We must find out the extrajudicial gangster who is considered the perpetrator!"
Officer Takagi: "..."
…
This kind of murder that happened in public must be handled urgently. Except for Officer Takagi, the other police officers were also busy at the moment.
Fortunately, such busyness brought some gains. Not long after, new information was delivered to Jiang Xia: "We checked the three blood symbols on the brown paper bag. There were fingerprints of the deceased on the blood characters - these symbols were indeed those of the deceased.
What is left is not the murderer to confuse the public.”
"In addition, according to the testimony of eyewitnesses, the detailed time of death of the deceased was a few seconds before the power outage in the building - they said they saw a man wrapped in a coat and a black knitted hat stabbing the deceased with a knife, and then the surrounding area
Plunged into darkness."
"Pfft——!" Judy's tea spurted out again: What is a man wearing??
A head poked out from the edge of the table. Conan put his hands on the edge of the table and looked up at her: "Teacher Judy, what's wrong with you?"
"..." Judy smiled, "It's nothing, I just felt that the timing of the power outage was too coincidental, as if someone turned on the lights on the stage to change the scene."
The young police officer glanced at the two deserters with dissatisfaction, cleared his throat and continued to report to the Jiang Xia and Mumu police departments:
"The murder location was right next to the escalator. After the victim was stabbed, he did not die on the spot. The two people fought for the brown paper bag.
"After the power outage, Mr. Nakajo fell to the ground leaning against the escalator. The murderer stepped forward and pulled out a stack of documents from a brown paper bag, and then fled upstairs."
Several people left the questioning place and returned to the escalator. Sure enough, as the young police officer said, a string of blood stains stretched out and finally stopped at the entrance of the escalator.
"In other words, the deceased was actually the three symbols left under the escalator. He then sat down on the steps of the elevator, and as the elevator ran, his body was sent upstairs."
As he spoke, the Mumu Police Department sighed: "This witness is too calm. If he shouted a few times, the murderer might be blocked in this place."
The young police officer said helplessly: "He said he thought it was a suspense mystery program hosted by the TV station."
Judy: "..." Do you have many such programs in Tokyo?
The Mumu Police Department no longer cared about the witness's thoughts: "Anyway, the top priority is to find the murderer among the 58 suspects... Tsk, what does this OXΔ mean?"
Suzuki Sonoko had been thinking about it for a long time. When she heard him ask, she couldn't help but answer: "Could it be some kind of mathematical symbol, 'X' means 'multiplication'?"
Judy laughed: "You mean, the deceased wanted to imply that our murderer was a mathematician?"
