Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 471 Are you a prophet? Asking for monthly ticket(づど)

Jiang Xia was keenly aware of the trace of murderous intent.

He didn't look directly over there, but continued to observe with his peripheral vision.

I saw the old man with murderous intent saying hello to his other companions.

Afterwards, the three companions continued chatting and walked outside the station to have dinner at a restaurant.

The murderous old man walked to the vending machine alone. He raised his head and looked at the colorful drinks in the machine. On the surface, he was choosing, but in fact, he pricked his ears nervously, secretly eavesdropping on Jiang Xia's words.

Jiang Xia didn't expect that just by going out casually, she could pick up the consolation prize for missing out on the movie.

He thought for a moment and continued to make phone calls, tentatively following the topic that aroused murderous intent just now:

"I remember that the 'Chou Si Lang Incident' happened eighteen years ago. At that time, the gangster robbed 550 million from the bank and killed a guard. Due to his careful planning, the police could not find any effective clues. But one day A detective named Masayoshi Sato somehow locked the suspect.

"However, when he went to chase him alone, he was hit by a moving truck. Afterwards, rescue efforts failed and he unfortunately died... When he fell to the ground, he kept shouting the name 'Chou Silang' to the escaped prisoner. , however, the police followed this clue and conducted a large-scale investigation, but still found nothing..."

In front of the vending machine nearby.

Kano Shuji overheard Jiang Xia's words and unconsciously tightened the drink he just bought in his hand.

——Masayoshi Sato was his high school classmate. Together with several other classmates, they formed a high school baseball team and had a very good relationship. Even now, decades later, they have regular dinners.

So eighteen years ago, after the robbery, even though Shikano Shuji was tightly shielded, Masayoshi Sato, a policeman, still recognized him from the short surveillance video and came to ask him to surrender.

At that time, Masayoshi Sato shouted "Shousirou" after he was knocked down, which was actually asking Kano Shuji to "surrender". However, Masayoshi Sato was seriously injured at that time and his speech was unclear. People around him mistakenly heard "surrender" as "go and surrender". The name "Chou Si Lang" led the police to take a side road in their investigation.

Of course, Luye Shuji did not surrender, but remained quiet.

The statute of limitations for this case is fifteen years. He has studied abroad for three years, so in fact, the case has not yet passed the prosecution period - as long as it passes 12 o'clock tonight, he will be able to completely regain his freedom.

With a case on his back, Kano Shuuji inevitably pays special attention to the police and detectives. Coupled with the sensitive time point of "there are only a few hours left to avoid being held accountable", when he got off the subway just now and suddenly heard the words "Zhousirou Incident", Kano Shuji's spirit became tense instantly.

When he heard the sound, he found that the person who said this word turned out to be a very famous detective. Kano Shuji's heart rate increased even more unconsciously.

He finally decided to stay where he was and observe the situation in Jiangxia - he had been waiting for more than ten years for the dawn to come, and he must not fall before victory!

…

On the other side of the phone, Miwako Sato heard Jiang Xia's words and was surprised that he remembered the name of the detective "Masayoshi Sato" who died in the line of duty.

Speaking of which, just now she only said the words "18 years ago" and "father died in the line of duty", Jiang Xia immediately thought of the Chou Silang incident... Could it be that Conan mentioned the name of the incident?

Sato Miwako lowered her head and saw Conan being surrounded by several children. She raised her hand to pull the fight.

Then she held her cell phone in one hand and said to Jiang Xia with a hint of emotion: "I didn't expect you to know so much about the 'Chou Silang Incident'. You are obviously not old enough... I thought the detective wouldn't like this." Even if the case is solved, the criminal will not be brought to justice.”

Jiang Xia observed the growing murderous aura in Luye Shuuji and secretly added to his anger:

"Don't say that. Even if the case has passed the prosecution period, since the truth has not yet come to light, it is still a 'difficult case' and deserves our attention.

"Speaking of which, in this case, I have always felt that the word 'shousilang しゅうしろう' sounds very similar to 'go surrender じしゅしろ' - especially if the speaker is injured and can only speak intermittently. "Go and surrender", the difference between the two sounds even smaller.

"Thinking about it this way, your father was an active criminal policeman back then. After getting clues about criminals, he did not report them. Instead, he went alone to persuade people to surrender. The relationship between that man and your father must be extraordinary. , even so close that he was willing to make an exception."

Sato Miwako: "!"

Shikano Shuji, who was eavesdropping: "!!!"

Jiang Xia's eyes moved slightly, and she saw that the murderous aura on Luye Xiuji was like a gas stove when it was lit, from a half-dead transparent flame to a dazzling flame.

Jiang Xia let out a little breath and felt comfortable.

Across the phone, Miwako Sato was just the opposite.

She clutched her phone and froze in place.

——Following Jiang Xia's words, she suddenly remembered that after her father was hit by a truck, he did not die on the spot, but he was still conscious and able to speak until he met his family members in the ambulance.

But at that time, the old police officer Sato only said some words of comfort and encouragement, but did not mention who the murderer was.

...If he was just out of kindness and felt that the criminal this time was pitiful, so he wanted to allow time for him to surrender, then Masayoshi Sato would never give in to this extent.

He could allow his father to keep the secret until his death, leaving room for the gangsters to surrender... Jiang Xia was right, that person was definitely someone who had an extremely close relationship with his father!

The interpersonal relationship between a single person is limited, and people who are so close to each other are very rare. If you follow the investigation, you will definitely find decisive evidence - after all, as far as Miwako Sato knows, the stolen money that was stolen at that time has not yet flowed into the market. At that time, as long as you look for this huge sum of cash around the suspect, you will definitely be able to catch the other party's tail.

But soon, her bright eyes calmed down again, and she said softly: "...the prosecution period of the case has passed for a long time."

On the other side of the phone, Jiang Xia seemed to hear her frustration, and comforted her half-jokingly: "Look on the bright side, if that person is more cautious and goes abroad to hide for more than three years when he is easily exposed, then the prosecution period has not yet expired. ——I have seen several cases like this before."

Officer Sato: "!"

Shikano Shuji, who went to Italy to study for three years: "?!!!"

Jiang Xia felt the obvious rigidity of the source of murderous aura.

After these words, although the murderous intent still increased, it did not have the same sudden increase effect as before.
