Chapter 656 What did you do at night? Ask for a monthly pass o(〃\'▽\'〃)o
Mao Lilan wondered: "Dad, what's wrong?"
Mouri Kogoro pointed blankly at the door.
Mao Lilan turned his head and looked over, and saw a living Jiang Xia standing in the corridor—Jiang Xia was not wearing the black clothes he liked to wear, but was wearing a sunny light color. The style happened to be the style that Mao Lilan went shopping a while ago and saw it by chance.
"Haha, it's a dream. This suit really suits him, high school students should wear something more energetic..." Mao Lilan muttered, her voice getting smaller.
Finally, with a thud, lie down again.
Mori Kogoro was startled when he heard the movement, turned around and found that his daughter who had just woken up fainted again: "Ran!!"
Then hurriedly continued to pinch people.
…
At the door, Conan glanced at Yamamura who fainted.
As a high school student detective who used to work in the police, Conan is used to the police's usual dropping of chains, but he didn't expect that the police department in Gunma County would make up for it, and the chains would fall very badly... Such a person could lead the team, No wonder there are so many suicide shrines in Gunma Prefecture.
He secretly slandered in his heart, ignored this strange policeman, and ran to Maorilan to check the situation.
felt that there was no problem, Conan slipped to Jiang Xia with a low sense of presence, and secretly pulled Jiang Xia away from Anshitou.
Then he tugged at his sleeves, and after Jiang Xia squatted down skillfully, he asked in a low voice, "Who is that person in the room? This is indeed your room, right. Where were you just now?"
... Thinking about what the first discoverer said just now, since she came here with a clear goal to "ran into" Jiang Xia, it is unlikely that she went to the wrong room.
In other words, this room 207, where someone hanged himself, should indeed be Jiang Xia's room.
But just now, Jiang Xia appeared here as an onlooker after the commotion...
"I haven't seen him."
Jiang Xia looked at Conan. I haven't seen this neighbor who has the physique of the incident for several days. When I see it suddenly, there is always a sense of anticipation that I will encounter the case again... The good impression brought by the bundling of "Conan" and "The Case" has always made him feel good. Jiang Xia is very patient with Kudo's classmates who like to ask a lot of questions when asking questions.
After briefly answering the first question, Jiang Xia lowered his voice:
"As for the room, I was in room 207 at first, but... um..." He hesitated, as if he was struggling with what to say, but in the end, he fooled the topic and continued, "But this room It's not very suitable, so last night, I ran to the boss's side."
"Not very suitable?" Conan quickly seized the doubts, "Then why not change the room? The hotel is also on duty at night, and now is the off-season for tourism, there should be a lot of vacancies here."
"...Yes, but it doesn't feel very good." Jiang Xia thought about his identity as a migrant worker, and felt that before he could figure out who was installing the camera on the surface, it would be best for him to keep everything secret and let Anshi know about this responsibility. It is up to the leadership to decide how much to reveal.
So he made a random excuse to deal with Conan's questioning and to throw the blame: "In the middle of the night, the front desk staff should be very sleepy, that would be too disturbing."
Conan: "...?"
… Wouldn’t it be more intrusive to go to the boss?
However, Jiang Xia subconsciously made this excuse... Could it be that the incident of "suddenly making the room unlivable" is related to Anshitou, and it is more suitable for Anshitou to handle it? Then that incident was directly or indirectly related to a murder case...
Thinking about it, Conan's eyes slowly sharpened.
But compared to Jiang Xia, he looked at Amuro Tou on the side more.
——During this trip, Jiang Xia did not have a mobile phone throughout the trip, and did not know the itinerary and destination. No matter how you look at it, it was Amuro Toru, the suspicious boss of a detective agency, who led this trip.
And Conan remembers that a few minutes ago, when they were downstairs, they ran into Toru Amuro who was going to the restaurant alone.
At that time, he asked An Shitou, "Where is Jiang Xia?" An Shitou said, "I don't know. It may be in the room or in the restaurant." Just came out of Anshitou's house, it is impossible for the owner of Anshitou to not know Jiang Xia's whereabouts... Why did the owner of Anshito conceal this matter? What is his conspiracy?
Conan looked at the corpse of "Jiang Xia" that had been put down in the room, and felt as if a dark cloud full of mystery was hanging above his head, and a black hand was slowly reaching out from it, fiddling with a sinister smile.
...a stranger was suddenly killed in Jiang Xia's room by an unknown person. Jiang Xia, who was supposed to be in the room, left for other reasons. In addition, the most ponderable thing is that the body of the deceased is very similar to Jiang Xia, and even his face is somewhat similar. Such a person, with the black clothes that Jiang Xia often wears, appears in the dimly lit night.
...Speaking of this, he always felt that something was weird.
Conan recovered from his thoughts and looked at Jiang Xia again: "That, your clothes."
Jiang Xia: "Huh?"
Conan asked: "Why did you only wear this kind of clothes all the way, didn't you like black more before?"
Jiang Xia was stunned, as if he had gotten used to this outfit along the way, but now that he was asked, he noticed his abnormality. He looked down at himself:
"I was in a hurry to go out and I didn't have time to pack my luggage. I only wore a black suit at the time. Later, in the Twilight Annex... In a case in Tottori Prefecture, the car and luggage were blown up, so I had to buy other clothes."
"I see." The more Conan listened, the more he felt a problem, and confirmed, "Did you choose the clothes yourself?"
"No." Jiang Xia shook his head, "The schedule is too busy, the boss ordered it directly from the store..."
Halfway through his words, he looked down at his clothes and then at the black clothes of the corpse. As if suddenly thinking of something, suddenly fell silent.
At the same time, Jiang Xia secretly decided to keep silent until the end of the matter.
If you lie, you have to work hard to get around. It's better to tell the truth and leave the rest of the stall to the boss to clean up. It just so happens that the boss is not afraid of being caught. He seems to be quite busy recently...
Beside , Amuro Toru suddenly sneezed.
Conan looked up alertly, his thoughts turned, and he quickly thought of the storm last night.
... This boss looks quite healthy, why is he sneezing all of a sudden?
Could it be that he did something shameful last night and got caught in the rain—for example, using some excuses to deceive Jiang Xia from the original room 207, then slipped away to 207 at night, killed someone, and went out again. Going for a walk outside for some purpose or something...
