The calm middle-aged editor looked at Hattori Heiji and the police officers getting out of the car one after another, and was moved to tears: "I surrender!"
Hattori Heiji:"……?"
He glanced at Yuanshan and Yehe, whose eyes were slightly dull, and the three children, and then looked at Jiang Xia, who was sitting on the small sofa next to him and seemed a little tired for some reason.
Finally, he looked down at the balding man who was hugging his legs and sobbing bitterly.
...The middle-aged man who shouted to surrender did not have any scars on his face. However, as he squirmed desperately toward the police at the door, his clothes were scratched by the floor, and a large piece of his shoulder was exposed, and he could vaguely see it inside.
Many striped bruises.
"..." Hattori Heiji wiped his face silently. Although he was not present just now, he probably already knew what happened here...
The policeman walking towards here obviously felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange. He asked: "What's going on?"
Hattori Heiji was slightly startled when he heard someone approaching. He leaned down reflexively and pulled Gogami Heihachi's collar that was too exposed back to its original state.
Then he dragged the person up and handed him over to the policeman coming behind him. He cleared his throat guiltily: "Well, it seems that his conscience found out and he said he wanted to surrender..."
"Huh?" The tall policeman was a little confused.
But seeing Heihachi Gogami crying with snot and tears, and exuding a "take me away quickly" atmosphere, the police felt that they understood again - this murderer should have just been exposed by the detective.
, found out that there was a misunderstanding in the murder, and was regretting it... They had seen this kind of thing too many times.
The police pulled the person into the police car and sat down.
——Actually, he originally wanted to ask someone to sit in the hotel lobby and ask about the situation first, but Gogami Heihachi refused to go back no matter what.
So I had to get into the police car...
…
Hattori Heiji looked at the closed police car door and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
...Although he does not agree with Jiang Xia's somewhat illegal behavior, Jiang Xia probably did this to protect the innocent people in the hotel.
And although Jiang Xia's appearance of beating people is scary, if you think about it carefully, he rarely takes the initiative to hit people - every time when criminals try to attack others, Jiang Xia stops him, and then he can't stop the car, which makes him look very cruel.
…
Having said that, Hattori Heiji always felt that he had become an accomplice, and his conscience felt a little guilty, and he was sorry for the law he respected.
However, as a little mixed-race girl stretched out her hand to drag the policeman and pointed at the sofa. Then the policeman fished out a slightly bent rifle from under the sofa... Hattori Heiji straightened his back again.
Jiang Xia and the others unexpectedly encountered gunmen. They should strike preemptively against such people and deprive them of their ability to resist - what if they had other mini-guns hidden on their bodies.
…
The reasoning behind the hotel case has been completed, and the murderer is extremely cooperative.
A reporter arrived a little late. Haihara Ai noticed them keenly. He immediately pulled up his hood to cover his conspicuous hair, put on a cartoon mask that fit the image of a child to cover his face, and then hid behind the large Ah
Behind Dr. Li's back, there is a very skillful set of movements.
The police did not notice this minor incident. They left some manpower behind to collect evidence. The other police officers, after registering the contact information of everyone in the hotel, prepared to go to the Spider Mansion and continue to work overtime to deal with the unfinished cases there.
Jiang Xia also followed back.
Next, he plans to transfer to Moon Shadow Island, and Spider Mansion is closer to the pier than the hotel.
In addition, an enthusiastic policeman seemed to recognize him and told him that there was a new murder case at the Spider Mansion. While his colleagues were busy dealing with matters at the Star Hotel, the young policeman told him what he knew about the Spider Mansion.
He told Jiang Xia all the details. Then he stared at Jiang Xia eagerly, as if he were staring at a magical machine that inputs on-site intelligence and can immediately spit out the list of murderers.
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, leaving the sentence "Rob is a little suspicious", and then said nothing more, planning to go to the police car - knowing that there was a case in the Spider Mansion, as a high school detective with a strong thirst for knowledge, if he didn't go there, he would
It seems too strange.
…
Jiang Xia, Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye rode in a police car together, while Robert got into another car. Both sides avoided each other in a tacit understanding - Robert didn't try to start the truck anymore.
The puppet clay was too tightly blocked, giving him the illusion that the car couldn't be driven.
This time, the only one left at the Spider Mansion to solve the case was Hattori Heiji himself. Perhaps because he had stimulated some potential, he had already collected a lot of information and only needed the final wording.
Since the task of solving the case has basically been completed, Hattori Heiji is currently more concerned about another thing than this.
"While you were away, I learned a lot about the Takeda family's servants." Hattori Heiji sighed as he spoke, "I probably know why Takeda Misa suddenly hanged herself that year."
Just now, when the police officer told Jiang Xia about the murder case in the Spider Mansion, Yuan Shan and Ye also listened a lot.
So after getting in the car, she kept her ears open and eavesdropped on the two people in the back seat discussing the case. Suddenly hearing this sentence, she turned back and asked doubtfully: "Why?"
"It's the message Rob left when he left three years ago -"
Hattori Heiji glanced at the police car diagonally in front of him and looked back with complicated eyes.
Then he raised his hand and gestured a few letters for Toyama Kazuki in the air: "When asked about his evaluation of Miss Misa, he wrote 'shine' to describe his first impression of Misa, which meant that she was like a girl.
Hikari. But Miss Misa’s English is not very good, so she pronounces the word in Japanese romanization as 'shi ne'..."
Yuan Shan and Ye were stunned. Suddenly they felt a little sad and a little ridiculous.
Jiang Xia's shoulders suddenly felt numb... It wasn't a psychological numbness, it was a real numbness.
He glanced at the car window, and through the reflection of the dark sky, he could vaguely see Miss Spider who was sitting on his shoulder. At some point, she stretched out her eight pointed legs and held him tightly as if there was no place to put them.
The translucent bamboo hat on the new ghost's head hung low, and large teardrops flowed out under the cover. The tears gathered on her chin, and then fell into her clothes one by one, and finally returned to the ghost body... This cycle is very economical.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It’s just a bit exhausting to go back and forth...
Jiang Xia just got a lot of murderous intent from the bald editor. Jiang Xia thought about it and became a little more generous for a while. She took out a stick of ghost mint and lit it, intending to relieve herself from the fatigue of staying up all night and stay up late, and also gave Miss Spider a tonic to prevent
She cried to herself for a while.
The lighter clicked, flames burst out, and a round spark lit up at the end of the smoke as he breathed.
Yuan Shan and Ye's originally dull eyes moved slightly and moved over.
She looked at the cigarette that didn't match Jiang Xia very well, and felt that she should say something like "It's not legal for you to smoke," or "There's a policeman sitting in front of you" or something like that...
However, when I turned around secretly, I found that the young police officer driving the car seemed to be a young man who had just joined the job. He was still shocked by this absurd love tragedy story, and for a moment he did not notice that someone was sitting behind him in violation of the law prohibiting underage smoking.
Looking at Jiang Xia again, remembering what happened just now, Yuan Shan and Ye thought that maybe this was some kind of relief channel for Jiang Xia... And this cigarette didn't smell like tobacco, but more like some plants...
Maybe it just looks like smoke, but is actually a special potion made by that strange doctor in Tokyo.
So in the end, she just stared at Jiang Xia's cigarette silently and said nothing.
Hattori Heiji didn't have such a complicated and tortuous mental journey - he was still concentrating on how to solve the case later.
Although detectives should not conceal the truth, Shine's incident does not seem to have much impact on the subsequent handling of the case.
"It's better to stop talking." Jiang Xia felt that Miss Spider was pulling him a little harder, so he had no choice but to open his mouth and tip the scales in Hattori Heiji's heart:
"'Hang himself because of shine' is just a speculation after all. Maybe there are other hidden reasons. If you are unsure, just hide it from the police first - this is not for selfishness, it is just to avoid misleading others."
"!" Hattori Heiji felt that the second half of the sentence made sense, and immediately stopped worrying, "That's right."
Police officer in the front row: "..."
He was still in the car, but he actually said "hiding it from the police" in front of him, which was too much.
...But forget it, since everyone pretended that he didn't exist, he could just pretend not to hear it. The young police officer sighed with a complicated mood and continued to be a driver with no emotions.
After Hattori Heiji finished struggling and had extra energy, he suddenly realized something.
He paused for a moment and looked at Jiang Xia suspiciously: "Why do I feel that you are not surprised at all after hearing about this tragic misunderstanding... You have known it for a long time?"
"..."
Jiang Xia actually wanted to put on a surprised expression just now, but was interrupted by Yuan Shan and Ye.
Later, his attention was attracted by the spider ghost, and he was very concerned about those crystal tears, worried that they would not be caught by his sleeves and fall somewhere else, making it difficult to recover... For the moment, he forgot to fool Hattori Heiji.
However, facing these high school detectives with perfect brain power, it should be too late to start fooling around now...
Jiang Xia bit the butt of Ghost Mint's cigarette and said softly: "Surprise is not just the surprise on your face."
——He needs a cigarette to calm down his shock. This is not much more serious than the surprise on his face.
Hattori Heiji:"……"
Although it makes sense, he always feels that this Tokyo detective is perfunctory...
However, I remembered that this afternoon, on the way to Takeda's house, Rob described Misa Takeda with words such as "shine" and "shine" in their chat.
Think again about the police fanboy who just kept providing Jiang Xia with information about the Spider Mansion...
Hattori Heiji suddenly felt that it was normal for Jiangxia to think about shining before he spoke - Jiangxia, it was not strange to see everything in the shortest time, and he understood everything.
…
After smoothing out the case at the Spider Mansion and solving Miss Spider's request, Jiang Xia stuffed the burned ghost mint into a portable ashtray.
Then, facing Hattori Heiji's strange gaze that was sometimes suspicious and sometimes enlightened, he strategically pretended to be asleep.
Judging from the information provided by Hattori Heiji just now, the Kansai detective had already deduced the facts of the case before following the police to the Star Hotel.
It's just that Hattori Heiji was still struggling with the matter of Rob's shine message, and there was a sudden murder at the Star Hotel, so he never started to solve the case.
Now that the problems have been solved, Jiang Xia thought that when he "woke up", Hattori Heiji would have solved the case on his own initiative.
...I hope that after reading the report on Hattori Heiji's case, potential clients in the future will realize that asking this Osaka detective to come over may bring disaster to the client. Then in order to avoid such disaster, they will send letters of commission to other detectives.
——Yes, for example, a high school detective in Tokyo who is friendly to others and solves crimes efficiently.
…
Hattori Heiji finished struggling with the matter of Shine and planned to go over his case-solving process with Jiang Xia again - this is just like doing questions in daily life. If the teacher does not send reference answers, then the question is finished. But if there is an answer next to it,
Many people can't help but turn it over and take a look... Hattori Heiji is in this situation at this time.
But he had just straightened out his thoughts and turned his head. Before he could shake Jiang Xia, who had closed his eyes, Yuan Shan and Ye in the front row suddenly stretched out an arm and covered his mouth with a precise slap.
Yuan Shan and Ye whispered: "Don't disturb his rest - I heard that he met the kid named Conan yesterday and was forced to stay up all night."
...Although Yuan Shan and Ye didn't know what the relationship between "meeting Conan" and "staying up all night" was, she heard Jiang Xia explain this to his acquaintances just now when she was taking a nap at the Star Hotel.
After listening to this, the grandfather and the children did not refute Jiang Xia. This shows that this may be the truth.
Hattori Heiji understood.
Jiang Xia also encountered a case on his way here?
In this case, it will almost be published in the newspaper tomorrow. Then I will buy a copy and come back to watch...
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia: This guy actually blamed Kudo. Even if he came out to look at the stars, he could get involved in a case, but he still had two lives. In addition, when he met Kudo, he broke the case all night long.
Together, we met three times in one day... Hey, what's going on with this guy?
Hattori Heiji felt that this probability simply exceeded the category of "coincidence".
But then he thought about it, and realized that the frequency with which he encountered cases was also absurdly high in the eyes of ordinary citizens.
Maybe ordinary citizens have exactly the same feeling when they look at him as he looks at Jiang Xia now... In short, this should be just some kind of coincidence. It might even be God's will, or something like "the stronger the ability to solve crimes, the more cases will be piled up."
No, that’s not right. The world is materialistic. If you want to believe in science, how can there be any providence...
Hattori Heiji briefly fell into chaos.
…
When they arrived at Takeda's house, Jiangxia took advantage of Hattori Heiji's reasoning and walked around a dark corner nearby.
However, no suspicious man in black came out to contact him.
There is still no signal on the mobile phone, and I cannot receive emails or text messages.
Jiang Xia looked at the empty inbox and couldn't help but worry that Gin and Vodka thought it was too troublesome to encounter a murder case along the way, so they left him and ran away alone.
