Conan’s Corpse Picker

Toru Amuro nodded, feeling quite pleased that Jiang Xia mentioned "police" in his words.

Unfortunately……

Toru Amuro glanced into the hall: There were no police officers coming to check the restroom where there were many clues. Instead, they were concentrated near the floor-to-ceiling windows and trucks... Speaking of which, according to this situation, if it weren't for the fact that there was another person hidden in the store, With a murdered body, perhaps only the traffic police and nearby police officers would come to deal with it, and the search class might not come.

After thinking about it, Toru Amuro sighed: he noticed that the only gray marks on the bathroom window sill were Jiang Xia and himself.

"……"Um? etc.

Could it be that the "policeman" Jiang Xia mentioned refers to...

This thought suddenly occurred to Toru Amuro and he couldn't help but look at Jiang Xia.

But he saw that Jiang Xia was still staring at the window frame intently, and did not turn around to show him a clear smile, nor did he imitate the gloomy sneer from Ginjiu... It was just like he just said it in a literal sense. .

"..." Toru Amuro was silent for a moment: maybe he was overthinking. Jiang Xia seems to have a good relationship with the policemen in the First Search Section, maybe he is just subconsciously speaking for them...

How could Jiang Xia find out that he was a policeman? He has never had any contact with his subordinates in front of Jiang Xia, nor does he have similar behavioral habits - impossible. Absolutely not.

…

The two of them strolled around the cafe.

When he returned to Officer Sato, President Ohara was still arguing with the police.

The honest-looking middle-aged man wiped his sweat and kept looking at his watch: "You heard it too. Our company is in an emergency. If we don't send money, we will be cut off from the supply of goods. Then we will face bankruptcy! - Don't worry too much. It won’t take long, just ten minutes. Let me go and remit the money first.”

"It's still some time before 4 o'clock. Let's wait for a while before leaving." Officer Sato obviously didn't want him to leave just like that, but he didn't find a reason to detain anyone.

Indeed, as Toru Amuro said, there were too many "coincidences" related to President Ohara in today's truck collision incident.

But a coincidence is just a coincidence after all, and no matter how coincidental it is, it cannot be regarded as direct evidence.

Conan was also a little anxious. Although he doesn't have a good impression of Toru Amuro, his persistence in the "truth" is not small. President Ohara is indeed suspicious, and Conan feels that he has guessed the modus operandi.

After thinking about it, Conan accidentally touched the anesthesia watch on his wrist and felt certain in his heart.

——It’s not a big problem. If President Ohara insists on leaving, then beat him until the evidence is found.

However, there is a problem with this: someone may discover the secret of the anesthesia watch... I wonder if it can be fooled by saying "President Ohara has narcolepsy".

…

Fortunately, before Conan could take the risk, he suddenly saw two people walking over from the coffee shop.

Conan's eyes lit up.

He turned to President Ohara who was shouting to leave, and Officer Sato who was stopping him. He raised the thing wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand: "It's so strange. Look, I picked up a strange piece of wood."

——In normal times, Conan might have spoken more straightforwardly.

But now, there are two suspicious characters, Subaru Okiya and Tooru Amuro. Although Subaru Okiya may be an ally, Conan still dare not take risks and can only act like a curious elementary school student who loves solving crimes.

Jiang Xia heard it from a distance and answered the question very understandingly: "What kind of wood?"

Conan handed him the handkerchief. Jiang Xia glanced at it and handed it to the policeman next to him - not Toru Amuro, but the police officer from the forensics department who came over after hearing the sound.

Although I only tried it once in my hands.

But Jiang Xia quickly said what Conan wanted to express: "You can see faint marks of strangulation in some places... Was anything tied to the wooden block?"

As he spoke, he turned around and looked around, and his eyes quickly landed on a bus stop.

——It was right in front of where Toru Amuro was parking. At this time, there was an empty bus parked on the platform. The bus driver had obviously noticed the police gathered in this area, and was looking around like a curious hawk.

"Eh? That's right." Mao Lilan heard their conversation and suddenly remembered something, "I remember that a short time before the truck crashed in, there happened to be a bus like this passing by on the curve outside the coffee shop. It There was a broken thread like spider silk trailing behind it. I didn't see clearly what kind of material it was, but I just remembered that it looked very beautiful in the sunlight, so I was very impressed..."

Sato Miwako's ears twitched, and she vaguely caught something: "Go and look at that bus!"

…

The bus driver was eating melon from a distance when he suddenly noticed a group of people running toward him.

The driver was startled and quickly adjusted his uniform and hat, intending to ask what was going on.

But before he could speak. The group of people passed him directly, ran to the back of the car, and gathered around the rear of the car to take a closer look.

After a while, the policewoman's voice came from there with emotion: "There really is a steel wire!"

driver:"……?"

…

"This is the bus terminal. The arriving bus will stop for ten minutes before leaving." The driver carefully explained the situation, "At the time when the crime you mentioned happened, I was actually driving in a circle and happened to pass by here... …But it was because of work, and I am innocent! I stayed in my car, and the surveillance can prove it.”

Toru Amuro nodded: "In this case, the situation is very clear - President Ohara knew the rules of buses and trucks appearing here in advance. He first asked the deceased to go to the coffee shop and let the deceased sit in the last seat of the reservation. Jia was in the position where he was hit, and then he made an excuse to go to the bathroom, climbed out of the bathroom window, and came to the truck.

“There is a bus stop right in front of my truck, and there are buses stopping there.

"President Ohara first put wooden wedges under the wheels of the truck to prevent it from sliding. Then he used steel wires to connect the wooden wedges to the bus in front. Then he secretly got into my car, changed the handbrake and gear, and made it We are in a state of slippage at any moment.

"In this way, when the time is up, the bus drives away and the wooden wedge is pulled apart, the truck will start to slide and crash into the cafe..."

I felt a little tired as I talked.

Toru Amuro couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia, hoping that the employees would finish the remaining matters. However, he found that Jiang Xia was looking at the distant building again, completely ignoring him.

Toru Amuro: "..." The abominable murderer had so many methods to choose from, but he insisted on using a "car accident" to flatten the deceased, causing Jiangxia to be offline now...

Speaking of which, Toru Amuro suddenly thought: There seems to be a reporter broadcasting this case nearby.

"..." I don't know if that person took a picture of Jiang Xia's absent-minded appearance - if this weakness is exposed and a prisoner seizes this to deal with Jiang Xia in the future, wouldn't things be in trouble?
