He also agreed with Jiang Xia's approach and nodded with deep sympathy: "If Yiichi Watanuki really kills people and hides corpses, we will definitely expose the truth. But if Yiichi Watanuki is innocent, according to the client's current state
, thinking about the worst, his subsequent behavior may rise from voyeurism to illegal home invasion, or even murder. This kind of case has not happened before, and it must be stopped in time. "
After speaking, he remembered something and asked Jiang Xia: "Have you gone to the Metropolitan Police Department to ask about the relevant situation?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "Not yet, the guest is very anxious. So after he came to the door, we came directly."
He looked at the tram coming into the station: "Let's go to the Metropolitan Police Department and ask first."
…
The three naughty children may have realized that they were in trouble. When the tram passed near their home, they said obediently and got off the tram, then disappeared out of the door.
Conan and Haihara Ai stayed behind like two gossip assistants who would never leave.
When they arrived at the station, Jiang Xia looked at Haihara Ai with a hint of confusion: "You seem to be very interested in solving crimes recently? I thought you would also get off at Mihua Town, leaving a sentence of 'Then I will go back to do experiments first'."
"..." Hui Yuan Ai shook his head, "I haven't had any new ideas or experiments lately."
...This is just one of the reasons.
On the other hand, after being frightened by the curly-haired man in black who passed by her door last time, Haihara Ai hid in the closet and missed Anonymous for a night, and then she couldn't help but wonder about some of the habits of Anonymous people - such as their
He seems to like approaching or rescuing high school detectives, or going against organizations.
For the latter, Haiyuan Ai would not dare to do it alone.
But the former...
It's rare that she, Jiang Xia, is so close. If she doesn't follow her, she doesn't look like a qualified anonymous member.
Although she still doesn't know why Anonymous does this, performing the same behavior will give Haibara Ai a deeper sense of security that "she is also a member of Anonymous."
In addition, she has not forgotten her conjecture that "Jiang Xia may be related to Anonymous".
It's hard to ask this kind of question directly, so you can only seize the opportunity to follow and observe secretly. In this way, maybe at some point, you can meet the Anonymous who suddenly appears... Haiyuan Ai thought of the Anonymous Miss who looked like her sister, and secretly felt in her heart
Some expectations.
…
Jiang Xia came to the Metropolitan Police Department with her two children. She turned into the office area with a familiar face and brushed her face. She happened to meet Miwako Sato who was passing by with a cup of coffee.
Officer Sato saw Jiang Xia at the Metropolitan Police Department and instinctively said hello: "I'm here to take notes."
Jiang Xia: "..."
...I almost forgot that there is such a thing.
We still need to take notes, but there are other cases now, so we have to put the notes back a bit.
Jiang Xia grabbed Officer Sato, who was about to drag him to take notes: "I came here this time because of other things..."
…
"Masao Koda...he has indeed been a frequent visitor here lately."
Sato Miwako put the saucer in front of Jiang Xia, picked up a cup herself, took a sip, and sighed: "Speaking of this matter, we actually have a headache."
Jiang Xia heard the meaning behind her words: "Do you think Masao Koda is lying?"
"It's not like lying...but to put it bluntly, we think Koda Masao may be so eager to find his missing sister that he has some assumptions." Officer Sato recalled the situation of Koda Masao:
"The missing Sanae Koda did have some issues with Giichi Watanuki. But according to our investigation, Giichi Watanuki is the president of Higashihara Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. The company is currently operating normally, and he has no personal debts or urgent needs.
A place for money.
“In this case, although Watanuki Yiichi did suffer losses on the stocks he bought from Koda Sanae, the total amount of money lost was only about 1.5 million yen.
"——For ordinary people, it is indeed a lot. But the president of a large company will never commit murder for this little money.
"In addition, although Koda Masao's speculation sounds reasonable, it actually has many loopholes.
"He said, 'Koda Sanae's colleagues said that Sanae went to Watanuki's house that night, and Watanuki Yiichi denied that he had met Koda Sanae, which is a guilty conscience.' But in fact, Koda Sanae may have gone to Watanuki's house."
Guanyi's family disappeared on the road.
"Moreover, although there was a witness, according to our interviews with the witness and the izakaya the witness went to that night, he was very drunk that day. In that state, it was difficult for the witness to rationally distinguish the surrounding environment.
"It was late at night, and the street lights happened to be broken. When the witness heard the sound of 'shovel digging', his field of vision was limited. In this case, people's hearing will actually be affected, and it is easy to not judge whether the sound is coming from
They would even make completely opposite judgments based on the direction. In addition, the wind was very strong that night, and what the witness heard was probably the sound of construction on the nearby road. Later, the witness passed by that area again, and Koda was anxiously traced.
Masao stopped him and asked... You have also seen Masao Koda's state. The witness may have been misled by him."
Miwako Sato recalled the series of investigations she conducted at that time and sighed:
"After this investigation, we feel more and more that Watanuki Giichi is more like the victim. But it doesn't seem like Koda Masao is lying. In fact, we want to suggest that he see a psychiatrist, but I'm afraid he won't listen.
…”
"So that's it." Jiang Xia nodded, punched in the card at the police station, stood up and prepared to leave, "Then I will first..."
Before he finished speaking, Miwako Sato stood up at the same time as him, grabbed him, and spoke concisely:
"record."
Jiang Xia: "..."
…
the other side.
After Subaru Okiya made an excuse to separate from Jiangxia and the others, he quickly walked towards the direction where Koda Masao left.
Chase him for about a street.
In an old phone booth on the street, Subaru Okiya saw the target he was looking for.
Through the dusty glass, you can see Masao Koda holding the phone in the phone booth and whispering something unknown.
Not long after Subaru Okiya saw him, Masao Koda raised his head and saw this graduate student whom he had met once on the street outside.
…
Soon, Koda Masao hung up the phone and walked out of the phone booth.
Okiya Subaru came closer and adjusted his smile so that he exuded a friendly aura - he was actually very good at this. Even if he didn't do it deliberately, he was the type who would often come over to ask for directions when he was walking outside.
Masao Koda looked at Subaru Okiya and walked away without turning his head. However, he subconsciously glanced at the phone booth where he was just now, and the corners of his mouth tightened.
