Chapter 1516 1516 [You have become a suspicious person again] Please vote for me ()

Inspector Asa: "..." Fortunately, I heard that Jiang Xia and his group were just here for tourism, and they couldn't stay for more than a few days. They should go back soon.

I've been working hard during this period, so I just wish I could keep an eye on it more. At worst, wait until they leave, then take a good vacation with peace of mind and make up for the missed time during this period.

...Of course, it would be even better if during work, I could solve the case before this little detective and let him see how powerful the British police are.

"But, Inspector." Chief Anna had already heard Inspector Asa complain several times on the way here.

After hearing it again, she finally couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What does Jiang Xia have to do with 'Aoqi'? He is very easy to get along with, and he did help us a lot. Otherwise, we wouldn't know that we would have to work overtime on that case." Until when."

"..." Help is indeed available, but "easy to get along with"?

Inspector Asa sighed angrily when he thought of the eccentric detective this afternoon and stopped paying attention to the subordinate with his elbows crooked outward.

…

In short, with this competitive idea in mind, Inspector Asa listened carefully to the testimonies of the witnesses.

After hearing a few keywords, he couldn't help but ask a few questions: "Wait a minute, what do you mean the prisoner disappeared?"

——The witnesses were not only Jiang Xia and others who rushed upstairs, but also those who stayed downstairs before.

Jiang Xia also followed Inspector Asa and listened to the testimony.

Now when he heard the police questioning, he explained like a very patient teacher: "This building is relatively old and not very big. There are only two exits in the front and back. The back door has not been used for a long time and has become rusty. It needs to be replaced." In other words, the only place where we can enter and exit the entire building is through the door we entered.

"When we rushed to the door of the building, gunfire rang out from upstairs. At the same time, people who stayed outside saw a person leaving quickly by the window on the 7th floor. Judging from the situation at the time, that person was not dead. Mr. Nanjo, who was probably the murderer himself. So I asked those who stayed to keep an eye on the surrounding area of ​​the building.

"But when we came up, we only found the body on the seventh floor, and there was no trace of the murderer. If he wanted to escape from the crime scene, he could only take the escape stairs or the elevator, and both of these routes would end up on the first floor. The positions of the doors overlap, which means that if he had left, people outside would have been able to see it, but they didn't."

After being translated like this, Inspector Asa touched his chin and felt that he understood everything again: "Hmph, it does sound like he disappeared, but you ignored the simplest situation. The murderer can't disappear! Since he didn't run out , then he must still be hiding in this building - search for me."

He waved his hand and turned to the small police officers on the side: "In addition, since the deceased was shot to death, the murderer probably has a gun, so be more careful when searching."

The police officers nodded, and except for a few who remained at the scene to collect evidence, the others quickly left.

The room suddenly became empty.

Inspector Asa turned to Jiang Xia, frowned and said, "It's been a while since you received the alarm call. Are you sure you didn't let him go?"

Before Jiang Xia could speak, those who were sent to stare around had already nodded vigorously: "With so many of us watching, how could we run away."

Inspector Asa nodded and couldn't help but puff up his chest: How could the murderer disappear without warning? He must still be hiding in the building.

It seems that this time, I can finally show off the majesty of the police - so what if the detective is good at solving crimes? This kind of large-scale manhunt is definitely more efficient for the police.

However, the detective next to him didn't seem to think so.

——Soon, Inspector Asa discovered that Jiang Xia and the first-grade elementary school student were getting together.

The primary school student whispered: "I heard from Haiyuan that when the lights on the seventh floor were suddenly turned on, the murderer was leaning against the window, leaving an obvious figure..."

Jiang Xia seemed to understand what he was going to say, and answered: "But the light switch is there as soon as you enter the door. It is far away from the window. You should not be able to reach the light when you stand by the window. So someone else turns on the light."

Conan nodded: "After all, the act of turning on the lights after killing someone is very strange. He should obviously run away in the dark... Is the murderer looking for something important? And the scroll in front of the elevator The tape - there was no way it was placed just to trip people running up the stairs. The roll of tape didn't even cross the door, it was just placed vertically on the ground. A normal person would not trip over it anyway. "

Next to him, the reporter who had really tripped heard it with his ears, and couldn't help but glance over: "..." He was just carrying a camera at the time and couldn't see his feet clearly, so he tripped... Could it be that this primary school student Are reporters not normal people?

Thinking of this, his fist couldn't help but harden, and he suddenly wanted to hit the child on the head. But looking at the harmonious appearance of Jiang Xia and the primary school student, and remembering that Jiang Xia helped him catch the camera just now, the reporter finally endured it silently.

The brief exchange between the two real and fake detectives ended quickly.

Jiang Xia stood up, looked around the room, and quickly landed on the cabinet where the body was leaning. There was a fax machine on the small cabinet, and there was a stack of papers in the machine that had just been sent over. Judging from the time marked on the paper, it was almost exactly the time when Nanjo Hayato was killed.

On the sofa between Jiang Xia and the cabinet, the two women sat side by side. They were both haggard, but the short-haired manager still managed to cheer up and comforted Mrs. Nanjo in a low voice.

Suddenly he found Jiang Xia looking at the fax machine. The agent explained: "That is the manuscript that will be published in the magazine next week. That magazine had conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Nanjo before. According to Mr. Nanjo's habit, he published the manuscript before The manuscript must be shown to him."

After a pause, she lowered her eyes sadly: "I didn't expect that this would be his last interview. He is obviously still in his prime."

Inspector Asa listened carefully to what was going on in Jiang Xia: Although he firmly believed that the murderer could not disappear out of thin air, if he thought about it carefully, there was indeed something unusual. He wanted to eavesdrop on the progress of the detective's investigation.

While he was listening, the intercom on his waist suddenly rang. The solemn voice of the police officer came from inside:

"Police Inspector! When we were searching up and down the third floor, we suddenly saw a suspicious figure in the corridor - that person originally wanted to avoid us and sneak downstairs, but luckily something fell at the entrance of the corridor and made some noise. , allowing us to discover him in time.

"Now the man is hiding in a room on the third floor. We don't know the terrain of the room very well. Considering that he may have a gun in his hand, we don't dare to go in rashly. Now we are in a confrontation."
