MTL - Conan’s Corpse Picker-Chapter 1565 1565【Hostage】
Chapter 1565 1565【Hostage】
"Rain boots? Isn't this a good helper for destroying corpses and traces?"
Jiang Xia looked at the receipt in Inspector Yasa's hand, and stood up: "Let your forensics department find the remaining clues in this room. As for where to arrest the suspect now, I think it's best to go to Take a look at the back door of this building."
"Back door?" Inspector Asa also stood up and handed the note to the subordinates beside him.
He wiped his hands and thought for a moment, then he understood: "That's right, the person who fell from the building attracted a large number of passers-by to watch. Those people gathered at the entrance of the building. The murderer may not dare to leave from the main entrance...Go!" Police Yasa The governor waved his hand and greeted his subordinates, "Go downstairs and have a look."
…
A group of people walked along the stairs, rumbling towards the back door.
When I got to the door, I took a closer look and saw that the back door was locked. There was even a door chain hanging on it, and it couldn't be opened and closed from the outside.
Jiang Xia looked at the door chain carefully: "There is no trace of tape or fishing line. The murderer probably didn't leave through the back door."
Sheriff Anna reminded in a low voice: "The person who fell from the building is still being rescued, and he may not die in the end. It is not appropriate to use the word 'murderer' now."
"That's right." Jiang Xia smiled, "Usually I'm used to it, but I can't change it all at once."
Conan didn't care about the details of the word, he touched his chin, and suddenly thought of something:
"Do you think the murderer has actually been hiding in the building? Although he can escape from the window on the first floor even if he doesn't use the back door after committing the crime, no matter how he thinks about it, he doesn't need to give up the back door and go through the window—thinking the other way around." , Maybe that person did not leave. I heard that when some people feel flustered, their behavior will become extremely conservative. Compared with running away under the watchful eyes of everyone at that time, maybe he chose to stay where he is, and he wants to wait until the matter is over. sneak away."
Although Superintendent Yasa looked at the child who was misled by Jiang Xia as an unpleasant sight, he had to feel that what he said made some sense. He thought for a while: "I remember that when I first entered the door, there was a section of stairs leading down. There seems to be an underground garage here. It should be very convenient for people to hide there. Go and have a look."
…
When we arrived at the garage, the police searched carefully for a while, but they couldn't find the person hiding in the basement. They only saw a car parked quietly in the corner.
—Checked the license plate number, it is not difficult to confirm that this is dead... This is the property of the person who fell from the building.
"There is no one in the car." Jiang Xia leaned close to the window with the sunshade film on it, and took a look in, "But there is something not so good on the back seat—a pair of rain boots, and a brand new shovel, which looks very It is suitable for digging and hiding corpses in inaccessible places."
"?"
Inspector Yasa took a closer look and found that it was true, but: "These two things are often used when tidying the garden. Don't think of murder cases when you see such tools. Their job is not for crime."
After finishing speaking, he himself was silent for a while: "..." In fact, according to the frequency of cases happening next to Jiang Xia, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this young detective thinking so...
Inspector Yasa was thinking, while straightening up and looking to the side.
Seeing that a few Tokyoites really ignored his rebuttal just now, they were each showing a thoughtful expression at this time, even the little girl in the hood who looked very well-behaved was no exception-they were obviously thinking seriously about Jiang Xia's "digging". Pit to hide corpses" hypothesis.
Inspector Yasa: "..." These Tokyoites, what kind of miserable life are they living in?
Thinking about how exhausted he was these days, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little harsh on these tourists—after two or three days of experience, he already wanted to tie Jiang Xia to a rocket and send him back to Tokyo in an expedited manner, but Jiang Xia and the others sometimes I experience this all the time.
Inspector Asaph: "..." London is wonderful, he will always love it here. Before, he felt that the crime rate in this place was too high, but now he only felt that an objective evaluation should be made through comparison.
…
When several people were looking for clues in the underground garage.
Maolilan went to a nearby small store to buy umbrellas and towels, and ran back with a bunch of things. Except for Dr. A Li who was taking notes in the foyer, everyone else was gone.
"Did they enter the building?" Mao Lilan asked Dr. Ali, and after getting an affirmative answer, she walked out of the building with a towel. I plan to wipe it off for a few people who got caught in the rain to prevent colds.
Through the hall, Mao Lilan realized that the building was much bigger than she imagined, and Jiang Xia and the others didn't know which floor they went to to solve the case.
She took out her mobile phone and was about to dial to ask. But after hesitating for a moment, he stuffed the phone back into his pocket, thinking to himself:
"Detectives probably don't like to be disturbed when they are sorting out their thoughts. Well... the person who fell from the building we saw fell when he was pushing and shoving with others on the rooftop. Jiang Xia and the others should go to the rooftop to check the situation first, after all there It's the first scene."
Thinking of this, Mao Lilan stepped up the steps.
Originally planned to go all the way to the rooftop.
But when they came to the third floor, there was a sudden rattling and rattling in the corridor.
Mao Lilan was stunned, and looked towards the corridor. In the water room, a fire extinguisher fell out and rolled to the ground, as if it had been accidentally knocked down.
Mao Lilan: "..." Could it be that Jiang Xia and the others have finished investigating the roof and came to the third floor?
She hesitated for a moment, trotted over, and called tentatively, "Uncle Kudo? Jiang Xia? Are you in there?"
Now the time is past midnight, and normal employees have already left work. In other words, there should only be a few detectives who sneaked in to investigate in this building, and the police who walked in to investigate openly.
Called the name of the little friend, but no one answered, Mao Lilan thought for a while: "Sheriff Anna? And that inspector? Is it you?"
Still no one answered in the water room.
Mao Lilan has already reached the door of the water room.
She carefully looked inside, but she didn't see anyone in the room, only to find that the faucet was actually on, and water was gushing.
"…"Such a waste.
Although it felt a little wrong, some instinct made her walk over quickly, wanting to turn off the water.
When Mao Lilan walked towards the pool.
Behind the door, a strong man looked at her slender back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
—Now there are police officers upstairs and downstairs. It is almost impossible to escape by brute force in this environment.
After thinking about it, the only option left for him is to take a hostage and let the police let him go.
Thinking of this, Ryohei Honda couldn't help feeling a little lucky: Fortunately, the first person to come to the water room was a little girl who could be easily controlled. Even the gods seemed to be on his side.
