Chapter 85 The Kudos' Battle of Wisdom and Bravery
According to the unwritten rules of this world, whoever theorizes must prove it - the detectives here enjoy privileges such as wandering around the crime scene, so accordingly, they have a lot to do.
The detectives that the Mumu Police Department has encountered in the past have all done this.
However, this time, when he adjusted the stopwatch and was about to time Jiang Xia, he heard Jiang Xia politely refuse: "It's not necessary."
The Mumu Police Department stopped and asked, "Huh?"
Jiang Xia didn't want to run away because this incident would not help solve the case.
He then glanced at the shikigami on the host's lap, then looked at the window, and expertly fast forwarded: "The murderer does not need to come to this room in person, he only needs to be in a room upstairs to lure the deceased out.
head, then aim downward and shoot."
As he said that, Jiang Xia pointed to the blood-spattered window and the neatly broken blood marks on the upper window frame: "After shooting, throw the gun in through the window, so that when the body falls, the window will naturally be closed. Then.
By leaving bullet marks in the room in advance, you can create the illusion that the murderer was standing in the room and shooting."
The host stood aside, his expression changing unpredictably. Suddenly, his back became hairy, and he suspected that when he committed the crime, Jiang Xia was actually following him and witnessed everything.
Jiang Xia spoke a bit quickly. Some people understood the process, but some didn't.
But what to do next is still very clear.
The Mumu Police Department digested the situation for a while, then called in the police officers from the forensics department and asked them to check the smoke reaction at the corresponding windows in sequence from this floor up.
Soon, obvious gunpowder residue was detected on the seventh floor - that's where the actual shooting took place.
If you want to go from the studio on the ninth floor to the warehouse on the seventh floor, four minutes is more than enough.
The host's "alibi" was gone with a snap.
He wanted to continue to argue, but at this point...he didn't know what else to say.
Jiang Xia almost seemed to have stolen his murder script and spread it out in front of everyone... The host had never expected this situation.
What happens next is even simpler.
Although the seventh floor is very close to the studio, 4 minutes is still not enough time. If the host had fired without any cover at that time, he would have been able to detect the smoke reaction, but if he had disguised himself, time was so urgent.
It's hard to hide his armor. If you look for it along the road, you can get strong evidence.
When the host was squatting in the corner with his head in his hands and growing mushrooms under the gaze of a group of police officers, Takagi found the raincoat and gloves that the host wore when he fired in the fire box on the 8th floor.
Next, as long as these physical evidences are identified, the murderer can be confirmed. But judging from the host's reaction, the result should not be much suspense.
The case once again jumps to the finale with one click.
The police officers looked at Jiang Xia and became very kind. Although this little brother always encountered murder cases, he solved the cases quickly. Who doesn't like to have shorter working hours.
The Mumu Police Department put their hands behind their hands comfortably, patted their backs, and asked their subordinates to take the suspects and physical evidence back to the police station.
He himself has to continue to deal with the matter that his old friend asked him to help investigate - the wife of Kudo's brother is missing.
Kudo Yukiko had just disappeared for a few hours, and the evidence of her disappearance was that the phone could not be reached, which was not enough to establish a case.
But Kudo Yusaku seems to take this matter very seriously, so the Megure Police Department plans to help him find it privately.
However, before leaving the building of Nippon TV Station, the Megure Police Department accidentally glanced into the crowd and happened to see a familiar figure.
——The woman was wearing a sunhat and sunglasses, covering her face, but when the Police Department took a closer look, they felt that the person looked like Kudo Yukiko, so he immediately ran over.
However, there were many people crowding around to watch the fun.
When the police arrived, the woman was gone.
The police officer Mumu rubbed the back of his head in confusion. At that moment, a call came in.
He glanced at the caller ID and picked up: "Hello? Kudo. Oh, I haven't had time yet, but I just saw someone who looked like your wife, but the scene was very chaotic and I couldn't see clearly. Hmm? I'm in Japan now.
Selling TV stations. There was a murder here..."
Jiang Xia, who was passing by, froze slightly when he heard the call.
But he quickly calmed down.
...He just said hello to the neighbor's aunt when passing by, and then told him about his itinerary today. He is not a human trafficker, so there is no need to feel guilty.
Jiang Xia took a few seconds to soothe her conscience and walked backstage as if nothing had happened.
…
Kinoshita Yoko also had an evening show. After cleaning up the mess here, she regretfully separated from Jiang Xia.
Kudo Yukiko went downstairs with Jiang Xia. Halfway there, she remembered something and her eyes became a little wandering.
When she arrived at the door of the TV station and saw two people, one large and one small, standing outside looking at her with resentment, Kudo Yukiko's steps suddenly froze.
She smiled awkwardly and patted Jiang Xia: "Go back first."
Jiang Xia responded, nodded to Kudo and his son, received a polite response, and then left.
Kudo Yukiko looked at the father and son who had been looking for her all afternoon, and she pressed the brim of her hat guiltily.
Before, Jiang Xia started recording the show, and she was sitting in the audience. After the two of them separated for a while, Kudo Yukiko finally remembered her "real business."
But at that time, the show had already started recording, and she had promised to stay and serve as a family and friends group for Jiang Xia. Now she turned around and left. It always felt like going back on her word and not being very kind...
So Yukiko, who felt guilty, had an idea and found a suitable excuse for herself.
——I heard from the doctor that the members of the black organization gave Shinichi a stick on the back of his head as soon as they saw him.
But she and her husband couldn't be so cruel to their son, and his son was so smart. If things continued like this, maybe Xinyi would find that these two "organization members" were not violent at all when facing a naughty child who was very capable of tossing.
This in turn casts doubt on their true identity.
Once discovered by their son, their fake kidnapping became a farce, failing to make his son realize the danger of the organization.
Therefore, it is better to make the mistake and change the route - you suddenly disappear.
This is also an opportunity for his son to understand how dangerous his situation is. It just so happens that the father and son usually solve a lot of cases, and each one has bigger ideas than the last...
…
Outside the Nippon Television Station building, Kudo Yukiko faced the other two Kudos who were filled with resentment and bit the bullet and came up with the rhetoric she had planned in advance.
Kudo Yusaku thought "..." for a long time. Finally, he looked at his wife who was trying to be cute, sighed, and decided to cooperate with her temporarily, and then talk to her about the issue of losing contact without authorization.
So Kudo Yusaku turned to Conan: "That's right. Have you ever thought about it, if you continue to stay here, once discovered by that organization, the lives of those around you will be threatened - just like your mother today."
However, Conan was not convinced at all. He looked at Kudo Yukiko speechlessly: "You must have followed Jiang Xia first, and then you remembered that I was still thrown in the house, so you made up this excuse now... Anyway, please leave me alone.
,I won’t leave here!”
…………
Jiang Xia did not eavesdrop on the Kudo family's argument and returned home with his newly picked shikigami.
A few days later, after seeing Conan running out of Dr. Ali's house again, Jiang Xia was completely relieved - the case collector was still there, and she no longer had to think about whether to go to the United States to fish for people if she couldn't find the ghost in the future.
After the live broadcast incident, Jiang Xia's reputation in the detective world became even higher because a talented photographer broadcast the contents of the crime scene live without authorization.
Because the process of solving the case was so smooth, some people suspected that it was a script written in advance or some kind of "overtime special".
However, as the news came out the next day that the host was arrested and the producer was killed, this speculation completely faded away - the host and the producer were both celebrities, and it was unreal that they would both die and be arrested for the sake of the show.
However, even though her reputation has increased, Jiang Xia still hasn't received those mysterious commissions from far away, and she is still looking for cats and dogs to keep an eye on her mistress.
Jiang Xia once wondered whether the commission was attracted by Conan to Mouri Kogoro.
However, he used Kinoshita Yoko as an excuse to sneak into Mouri Kogoro's detective agency and secretly investigate several times, but found that Moori Kogoro had not received any decent commissions.
It seems that it’s not that the reputation is not enough, it’s just that the time has not come...
