Conan's Corpse Picker

"That's right, the deceased's mobile phone was also dropped in this pile of debris." Officer Takagi put on his gloves, carefully picked up the mobile phone, and called up the communication records.

I saw that more than 20 minutes ago, there was an outgoing call.

The note above is "Sakura Yamamoto".

When Miwako Sato saw the name, she was slightly taken aback, approached Jiang Xia and asked in a low voice, "This is the lady who came with you, right?"

Jiang Xia nodded, and said in a low voice, "I do remember that she answered a phone call when I was at the station."

"Huh? If that's the case, wouldn't the suspicion of the three of them be ruled out?" Megure's police department is very sensitive to the movements of Jiang Xia's younger brother. The moment Officer Sato approached Jiang Xia just now, he had already pricked up his ears at the same time.

Jiang Xia seemed to be thinking about something, and did not agree with this conclusion:

"It's better to ask about the details of that call first. Since the murderer is an acquaintance of the deceased, he may also be an acquaintance of the three ladies. Maybe when Ms. Yamamoto answered the phone, she heard some important clues—yes Yes, remember to record the testimony."

Miwako Sato's eyes lit up and she nodded, "Don't worry."

……

"Yes, I did get a call from Naoko."

Sakurako Yamamoto wiped away her tears, found her mobile phone, and called up the communication records to show to the police:

"She was in a hurry and urged us to come here quickly. But Nami hadn't arrived at that time, so we didn't set off right away.

"I thought we would meet soon, but I didn't say much at the time, and quickly hung up the phone. Who knew..." Sakurako Yamamoto's eyes turned red, "Who knew that this was the last thing Naoko said to me."

"Wait, Miss Nami didn't arrive at that time?" Mumu Police Department suddenly stood up, he looked at the gentle and timid short-haired woman in the middle, and then looked at the most reliable Jiang Xia, and asked, "Do you still remember the time when How long did it take between Ms. Yamamoto's phone call and Ms. Kaneda, who was late, rushing to the station?"

Before Jiang Xia could speak.Beside, Nami Kinda blushed.

She retorted in a low voice: "I'm not late! I just prefer to be late, so when I am set off by Kayangri and Sakura who like to arrive early, I seem to be late. How can I be late when I am stuck... ..."

"Sorry, but please seriously recall the situation. We must investigate accordingly."

Miwako Sato sighed.

Although she also felt that this soft and cute woman with short hair didn't look like a murderer at all.But based on the past accumulation and the experience gained from watching Jiang Xia solve the case at close range: in many cases, the less the guy looks like the murderer, the more likely he is the murderer.

"..." Of course, Miwako Sato would not rely on this kind of joke-like logic to convict people, but at least it would allow her to treat the pitiful suspects as equals without judging them by their appearance.

……

When Miwako Sato communicated with the suspect.

Okiya Subaru stood quietly aside, looking like a case-solving enthusiast contemplating puzzles, but in fact he was holding his breath as much as possible in order to reduce his sense of existence.

He knew in his heart that when looking for suspects, the police would often investigate from close to far away—the closer the person was to the deceased, or had recent contact, the easier it would be to be listed as a suspect.

And after narrowing down the scope of the time of death through the phone call made by the deceased.Among the several suspects at this time: Quanjia Yangli and Yamamoto Sakurako, who were with Jiang Xia the whole time, had the most solid alibi.

The only person left to be suspicious was Nami Kaneda who was late at the meeting.

as well as--

Okiya Subaru, who stayed at home all day, happened to know the neighbor of the deceased.

……

Okiya Subaru listened to the police investigating the suspects, and felt that his scalp was about to explode—when the police exchanged clues with Jiang Xia, he relied on his recent acquaintance with the police, and secretly approached and eavesdropped, and obtained the information just now. All known information.

Therefore, Okiya Subaru, who is familiar with this area, is very clear: his "murderer identity competitor" Kaneda Nami wants to kill the deceased, deal with the traces, and rush to the station during the time of being late... This kind of weather is bound to Will sweat a lot.

After she met Jiang Xia and the others, there was obviously no chance to change clothes, and at this time, Kaneda Nami's clothes had no sweat stains at all.

——In short, no matter how you look at it, Kaneda Nami doesn't look like a murderer.

Then the only remaining unlucky guy who was present was just...

Okiya Subaru stood in the corner, as quiet as a chicken, thinking to Uzo in his heart: I hope the boss just wanted to beat him out of interest, not really want to beat him to death.

Just at this time, after Miwako Sato had close contact with Nami Kaneda, she also had the same speculation as Subaru Okiya.

She turned around and looked at Okiya Subaru over Jiang Xia's shoulder.

Then, while Okiya Subaru looked back silently, he focused on the clothes at home, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Okiya, you seem to live here? Did you hear any suspicious movements before and after the incident?" ?"

The tone is quite polite.

However, Miwako Sato's eyes still inadvertently brought a sense of oppression.

She thought to herself: Although Okiya Subaru and Jiang Xia know each other... but whoever said that if you know Jiang Xia, you will not commit crimes?

Among the police, Miwako Sato has outstanding abilities and naturally has a good memory.

She quickly remembered that a few nights ago, people who escaped from the twin buildings in Nishitama City said that Okiya Subaru had reminded them of the "sniper attack", and Jiang Xia was almost hit by a sniper rifle right after... Normal Will people think of this kind of dangerous scene like a blockbuster movie from an ordinary viewing elevator?

In addition, Miwako Sato remembered that she occasionally heard the little boy with glasses muttering that Jiang Xia always met scum and was easily blinded by scum.

Officer Sato: "..." I heard that children have very keen intuition and are also very sensitive to people's attitudes.

What if...

Chapter 1114

The more Miwako Sato thought about it, the more she felt that Okiya Subaru should not be easily excluded from the list of "suspects".

"..."

Okiya Subaru faced the increasingly sharp eyes of the Tokyo police flower, cold sweat slid down his back.

He didn't know if Uzo had set up "physical evidence pointing to Subaru Okiya".And if Uzo really wanted to trick him, it would be impossible for him to win the argument by just opening his mouth... So Okiya Subaru glanced at the window next to him from the corner of his eye, and began to secretly think about the possibility of running away through the window.

——First try to quibble as much as possible, delaying time, maybe with luck, Mr. Akai can come here in time.

Of course, you can’t pin all your hopes on the busy fbi, and you have to work hard on your own PlanB—to run away before being taken away by the police, and temporarily hide in a place where they can’t find it, and wait for Jiang Xia to solve the case , cleared the suspicion, and then came back again.

Although there are risks in this way, it is better than being taken away directly.

……

Okiya Subaru was thinking about delaying words, while secretly recalling the surrounding terrain, ready to leave at all times.

However, it didn't wait for things to develop to that point.

Jiang Xia's voice suddenly came from the side.

——The young detective spoke calmly and neatly as always:

"Compared to asking Mr. Okiya, maybe you can get more information by asking Ms. Yamamoto. After all, apart from the deceased, the perpetrator himself is the one who knows the situation best."

"?!"

Having known Jiang Xia for such a long time, it was the first time that Okiya Subaru experienced so clearly what is the voice of nature, what is a genius detective, what is justice from heaven, and what is justice will surely defeat evil...

- Detectives are the strongest!Uzo counts... counts...

cough.

Okiya Subaru thought of Uzuo's rumors that "can see through people's hearts", pushed his glasses, but he still didn't dare to speak wild words to his boss, even if it was just in his heart.

Anyway, following Jiang Xia's words, Okiya Subaru's original parkour plan was instantly cancelled.

He looked away from the window.

——Before, Okiya Subaru once suspected that there was a relationship between Jiang Xia and Uzuo. During that time, he consulted some case materials related to Jiang Xia, and even watched Jiang Xia solve the case several times in person.

So now, he is very clear in his heart.The moment Jiang Xia said this, it meant that he had not only identified the murderer, but also found enough evidence.

……

Okiya Subaru's shocked reaction was not conspicuous among a group of people.

Hearing Jiang Xia's sudden words, everyone in the room was startled.

After a while, they turned their heads quickly, and their eyes fell on Sakurako Yamamoto.

The scrutiny from all directions instantly turned Sakurako Yamamoto into a hedgehog.Her fingertips trembled, and the phone slipped from her hand.

After regaining her senses, Sakurako Yamamoto calmly picked up the phone again, pulled out an ugly smile, and looked at Jiang Xia:

"But before Naoko was killed, you talked to me, you heard it just now, didn't you?

"After that, I've been by your side all the time... And, there's her TV! Regardless of whether it was the murderer or Naoko who turned it on with a coin, I didn't have time to get to her house, and I was still at the station!"

Jiang Xia observed Okiya Subaru's interesting reaction from the corner of his eyes, and at the same time reservedly compared himself who gave the answer decisively, and the very unreliable Shuichi Akai who didn't know where he was at this time.

Then I feel that no matter how I look at it, I am definitely a better boss - just the younger brother, Subaru Okiya, who is ignorant, feels that Akai Shuichi is safer every day.

He wandered off for a moment before turning his attention to business.

……

Jiang Xia looked at Sakurako Yamamoto, although she didn't pay attention to listen just now, but she can guess what she said:

"The time when the TV is turned on can be controlled with a timing device - isn't there a pile of nostalgic snacks on the ground in front of the TV. Among them are long lines of fudge and a bag of ice cream that has melted."

Miwako Sato looked down and quickly found those two things.

They were mixed in a lot of snacks just now, and they weren't too conspicuous.As soon as he got closer at this time, Miwako Sato suddenly felt something was wrong: "...the wet marks under the ice cream are very concentrated, and there are traces of splashes."

Jiang Xia nodded, and fast forward leisurely:

"First put the long jelly candy line across the coin slot, and then put the coin on the slot, the coin will be held up by the line, stop there, and temporarily unable to enter - on both sides of the long line, one side is fixed by the weight of the jelly candy, and the other is One side is pressed under the ice cream, which stands on the tabletop and the adapter on the TV. This way, as the ice cream melts, falls through the gap, and can no longer hold down the long wire, the wire will fall under the drag of the fondant landed, and the coin slid into the slot, turning on the TV."

"As for that phone call..."

Jiang Xia looked at the pale-faced Sakurako Yamamoto, and originally wanted to show off.

But after taking a closer look, he found that even if Sakurako Yamamoto was being exposed by him, she didn't have the courage to "kill her mouth" in front of a room full of police officers.

Jiang Xia immediately gave up the plan to expose it slowly, and said at the same speed: "Just now at the station, I did see the scene where you answered the phone. Combining the call records of the two mobile phones, at that time, the deceased's mobile phone did call you Telephone."

Listening to his words, Sakurako Yamamoto's face became more and more ugly: "What do you mean 'the deceased's cell phone called me'? It seems that there is no Naoko, the cell phone will become a sperm and call me..."

"Don't change the subject, there are no goblins in this world." Jiang Xia said, "You know what I mean—except for you who answered the phone, no one can guarantee that the one who made the call is the dead Miss Naoko."

"Speaking of which, I'm more impressed by one other thing than the phone call.

"—I remember that before you answered the phone, your other hand seemed to move a few times in the windbreaker pocket.

"At the time, I didn't think much about it. I thought you were just playing with your hands or arranging the handkerchiefs in your pocket...but now it seems that what was hidden in your pocket at that time was actually the dead man's mobile phone.

"After killing Ms. Naoko, you take away her flip phone, put it in a sealed bag, adjust it to the state where the keyboard is exposed, and put it in your pocket. Then check the time at the station, and dial the number while Ms. Kayangli is talking to me. Call yourself to create the illusion that the dead were alive at the time.

"When you come to the living room and see the 'friend' who died in a miserable state, you will put the dead man's mobile phone on the ground, pretending that it has been here all the time... As for the evidence, this way, when you take a step, you are always on the side. There was a strange friction sound, and it was even worse after arriving at the scene of the crime—the sealed bag used to store the deceased's mobile phone should still be in your pocket now."
