Chapter 396 "Jiangxia Observation Notes" (joint chapter)
When Tiantu boss panicked and subconsciously wanted to take back the phone line, Jiang Xia raised his hand and pressed him on his shoulder, pressing the person back to the original place.
He then walked over to the phone with the bundle of phone cords, plugged it in, and called the police.
Looking back at three steps, Haiyuan Ai, curious about what Jiang Xia could do: "..."
As expected of you.
Holding the anesthesia needle in her pocket, she found that Boss Tiantu and the others didn't seem to have any thoughts of rebelling, so she walked to the guest room lightly to do what Jiang Xia just explained to her.
…
Everything happened smoothly, very natural, as if it should be such a process.
When the others came back to their senses one after another, Jiang Xia had read the address to the police on the opposite side of the phone by facing the business card placed on the front desk, and briefly finished talking about the corpse at the foot of the mountain, then hung up the phone.
There is a soft click between the earpiece and the body.
Several people in the hall moved slightly and returned to their senses.
Then he looked at the suspicious Tiantu boss at the same time: "Is it the one you killed? You forged the suicide note too?!"
"I, I..." Boss Tiantu didn't expect things to develop like this. He covered his pockets that had been emptied before returning to his senses, and defended weakly, "No..."
"He was the one who sent the invitation, and he was the one who cut us off from the outside world."
Jiang Xia fiddled with his phone while talking, and turned on the recording—this would save a lot of energy when making transcripts in the future.
Seeing the recording symbol start to run, he put down his phone and started fast-forwarding concisely:
"Boss Tiantu did this because he accidentally discovered Mr. Kono's remains and the death messages. But he failed to decipher the relevant information about the murderer, so he had to take all the guests who lived here on the day Mr. Kono disappeared. invited over."
Boss Tiantu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and sat back on the chair heavily.
He looked gratefully at the detective who didn't call him a murderer to make up his achievements: "Yes, I originally hoped that the murderer would surrender after seeing the skeleton and the death message, or show an abnormality... I didn't expect to wait for half a night. , but only until Mr. Erchuan who left a suicide note and committed suicide.
"I don't dare to say that I sent the invitation letter after death... Well, I knew this would happen. When the bones were discovered, I should have notified the police immediately..."
It turned out to be a misunderstanding, so Erchuan Zhao still committed suicide... The team that went to the top of the cliff just now relaxes.
Yuan Shan and Ye were still very vigilant.
When she split up and went to the mountains to find someone, she and Jiang Xia were in the same group, so she also saw the death message left by Erchuan Zhao and knew that this was not suicide.
And if Boss Tiantu wasn't the murderer...
She turned to look at Nonomiya Etsuko and Gogami Heihachi.
By convention, there seems to be a need for another exclusion here.
However, according to the reports she has read, Jiang Xia doesn't seem to have such a habit. He mentioned the boss of Tiantu just now because there are too many people who think the boss is the murderer...
Sure enough, a second later, Yuan Shan and Ye heard the answer.
"It should be his boss, the editor-in-chief of "SpaceSunday", Mr. Yukami, who attacked Erchuan Zhao and pushed him off the cliff."
Jiang Xia skipped the necessary steps and looked at Heihachi, whose face was ugly after being suddenly cued:
"Judging from the order of names on the register a year ago, your name is written after Mr. Kono, so he may have just heard someone call you 'みかみ', but didn't know how to write it - compared to 'Gosama',' The surname Mikami is more common, so the death message left by Mr. Kono after he fell off the cliff is to let the person who found him spell out the surname Mikami with four long and two short cigarettes, and then find you.
"When it was replaced by Mr. Erchuan, his death message became 'five long and two shorts' - although the murderers were all the same person, if the original four longs and two shorts were still used to refer to, others may think that Mr. Erchuan The strange length of cigarettes and cigarette cases around him was because he was trying to decipher Mr. Kono's message and therefore ignored the message.
"So he added a cigarette to the cigarette case, five long and two short, just enough to spell the 'Heihachi' in the name of Emperor Heihachi.
"The two death messages actually point to the same person."
Jiang Xia said and looked at Yushang Heihachi, and saw that he pursed his lips tightly and his face was gloomy.
...Very good, based on experience and the current posture, the editor-in-chief is not far from self-destruction on the spot.
Jiang Xia secretly added the last fire: "Mr. Erchuan fell in front of us and died on the spot, so he secretly left the death message on the top of the cliff. He was hit by a blunt weapon on the back of the head. Traces - so it should not be pushed down directly, but first injured, and then added a cigarette to the cigarette case in the empty space where the murderer used his mobile phone to write a suicide note.
"By the way, judging from the wound on Mr. Erchuan's head, the shape of the murder weapon is rather thin. If you estimate the size..."
Jiang Xia suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the huge luggage bag in the corner of the room: "—It just happens to be hidden in the barrel of your telescope."
Okami Heihachi was startled and turned his head sharply.
He saw his bag—the one that should have been in his own room, but suddenly appeared in the hall.
...and a little mixed-race girl who was standing beside her because she was struggling to carry her bag just now.
Hui Yuanai just heard that Jiang Xia asked her to help bring the bag, but did not hear that there was a murder weapon inside.
After came and heard Jiang Xia say "Hidden", she realized that there was something dangerous in the bag.
Hai Yuanai's eyes changed slightly, and he subconsciously grasped the strap again, trying to drag the bag away and hide it secretly.
But before that, she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Jiang Xia.
saw Jiang Xia shake his head slightly. The others were attracted by the Imperial Heihachi and Bao, and did not see this scene.
Haibara Ai:"……"
She vaguely understood something, let go of her hand, and ignored the bag.
Then he silently added an entry to the "Jiangxia Observation Notes" in his heart.
- Suspected to like fishing law enforcement.
…
Haihara mournfully retired.
Jiang Xia looked at the bag with the murder weapon, and then at the Ogami Heihachi, who gradually had murderous aura, and showed a provocative smile:
"The expression is really ugly. Could it be that I got it right? - If you want to prove your innocence, open the lens barrel and let's see what's inside.
"Also, you should know that even if you wipe off the blood, the police can still detect the blood that Mr. Erchuan left on when he was attacked by you."
"Heh, wipe the blood off?" Yu Shangping's forehead was full of blue veins, he repeated Jiang Xia's words, and his tone suddenly became gloomy and mocking:
"I won't wipe—the blood of Erchuan's ungrateful bastard, it's all still on it now.
"I kindly asked him to be the editor team leader, but just now, he even threatened me after deciphering the death information left by Kono, asking me to pay 50 million, or he would tell me about my murder... Hmph, a year Before, I just taught that ungrateful Kono a lesson, how can it be considered a murder..."
Nonomiya Etsuko glared at the murderer in shock, not understanding why he suddenly said this: "...Ingratitude? What do you mean?!"
Mikami Heihachi glanced at her: "A year ago, after Kono found out that I was the editor-in-chief of an astronomical magazine, he wanted me to help him confirm whether he discovered a new comet - a comet can be named after three people, I will help him After confirming it, I just asked him to add my name to the three people, but he actually refused..."
"New Comet?" Nonomiya Etsuko suddenly remembered something, and her face turned pale.
... A year ago, Kono Asao suddenly said awkwardly that he was going to introduce the treasure he had been looking for to Nonomiya Etsuko and Boss Tiantu at night.
At that time, Kono Asao’s tone was ambiguous, his eyes were full of anticipation, and his face was flushed with excitement, as if he had mentioned the goddess. Nonomiya Etsuko mistakenly thought that he had a woman outside, and now he wants to introduce "true love" to her... This is also the reason why the two quarreled a year ago.
And that quarrel was also the last time they met.
Nonomiya Etsuko covered her face, slipped against the wall and cried bitterly.
Okami Heihachi unknowingly k.o. a crowd of onlookers. He listened to the low-pitched cry in the background, and while others looked suspiciously at Etsuko Nonomiya, who had suddenly collapsed, he squatted down and opened his bag.
Yuan Shan and Ye heard the zipper and turned to look. Most of the bag was blocked by Yukami Heihachi's back, and he could only vaguely see him taking out a black iron rod: "...Is this the iron rod you used to kill?"
"Yeah, it's just that uncle's iron rod..." Heihachi stretched out his hand and fiddled with it for a while, the props in the bag formed a rifle.
He held the gun, raised his head with a smirk, and continued what he just said maliciously: "It's not an ordinary iron..."
woo——
A swinging stick slid up from the bottom and hit him on the wrist.
The rifle spun and flew out in the air. It hit the roof and fell to the ground with a click, and finally slipped to the feet of Haibara Ai.
Haiyuan Ai glanced down and thought for a moment, she stretched out her foot and kicked the gun under the sofa secretly to ensure that no one could get it at the first time - she knew that Jiang Xia didn't seem to have a gun, so she had to ensure that others would also There is no weapon of the same level, so it is convenient for Jiang Xia to control the scene.
Everything happened too fast, and Heihachi kept the posture of holding the air in his arms that had been beaten in a crooked manner, and was unable to regain his senses immediately.
Jiang Xia held the phone in his left hand, stopped the recording in progress, and saved it.
Then he put the phone back in his pocket, and when Ogami Heihachi was finally awakened by the severe stinging pain in his wrist and screamed miserably, he picked up the swinging stick again and knocked it down.
At the same time, he stumbled on the foot of Ogami Heihachi, who instinctively retreated and avoided, and knocked him down.
This position is easier to tap, and has a smooth feeling of playing golf...
Yukami Heihachi was hit by a stick on the head, and a golden star exploded in front of him.
He fell to the ground in a daze, struggling to get up, but when he looked up, he saw a figure walking in front of him.
Jiang Xia held the swinging stick and glanced down at him.
... There is still a long way to go from here to the police station. A little entertainment to pass the time while waiting for the police to come.
I haven't encountered any murderous intent in the past week. Although I met Kagoshi Rizaku in the sleeper early this morning, Gin was by the side at that time, and the flight attendant also arrived quickly. If you let go of beating people, it would run counter to the organization's requirement for him to "pretend to be a good-looking detective with a positive image"... Now it's rare to have a pastime that shouldn't be wasted.
Rob stood beside him, looking at Heihachi Ogami who was rolling on the ground, his expression changed from shock to relief, then to shock, and finally his face gradually turned pale.
In the beginning, he felt that Jiang Xia wanted to make the gun-wielding villain incapacitate - in this case, it was understandable to hit a few times, and it could even be called killing the people.
But gradually, he felt that the eradication time seemed to be a little long...
Rob's breath lifted slowly again, staring at the floor in front of him - Yu Shang Heihachi began to beg for mercy, why didn't Jiang Xia stop... It's been so long, isn't he tired... The high school detectives here are all Is it so violent?
As a murderer, Rob couldn't help thinking more than others.
If now, Jiang Xia suddenly discovers that he is actually a murderer...
Rob instinctively grabbed the electric shocker hidden in his pocket, trying to find a sense of security.
But soon, he looked at the elongated swing stick in Jiang Xia's hand, and felt that the electric shocker, a tool that could only be held in his hand, might not be able to reach Jiang Xia's body at all.
Unless he gets close first, and then electrocutes the person when Jiang Xia is unprepared... It's a pity that after he agreed to Yushang Heihachi to ride the truck just now, Jiang Xia probably won't show his back naively to call him again...
After a while, Rob let go of his hand in his pocket and turned his head slowly. Through the open door of the hotel, he glanced at the dark mountain forest outside with a hint of longing in his eyes.
... When Yuan Shan and Ye asked him, "Can we go to see the stars together?", they really shouldn't have nodded and agreed to bring her over, and Jiang Xia by the way - if not, he can go straight to the airport with a single kick... …
Foreign friends fell into deep reflection.
At the same time, it was inevitable that there was a chance of luck—it’s okay, his plan was complete, and he didn’t leave a “blood-stained weapon” like Heihachi did. Not a big problem.
……perhaps.
…
after an hour.
Tottori Prefecture police finally arrived.
Several police cars stopped in front of the hotel.
It was not the policeman who jumped out of the car first, but a dark-skinned male high school student.
Several police cars were assigned to this place from the Spider Mansion. Heiji Hattori heard that Jiang Xia was the one who reported the crime, and immediately followed the car.
——He didn't expect Jiang Xia to have not only the suspicious Rob, but also another murderer.
Although he trusted Jiang Xia's strength, Heiji Hattori was still a little worried.
When arrived at the door of the hotel, he asked loudly, "Are you all right?!" while rushing in.
Then he was attacked by an unknown object head-on.
——A humanoid creature crawled close to the ground, took Heiji Hattori who got out of the police car as a policeman, and hugged his leg firmly.
