As he was talking, the Mumu Police Department came closer.

Jiang Xia turned around and saw that the police officer, who was very good at asking for help, had brought a loose-leaf book to him and enthusiastically handed it to him:

“Come on, please help us take a look. This is the relevant information we have collected. If you can find the murderer, we can lure him out, pin him down and arrest him, so we don’t have to worry about a third murder.”

 Jiangxia: “…”

 He looked at his watch and found that there was still a little time before leaving the venue.

So like a dedicated detective, he took the book and opened a page at random.

The personal information of the first deceased was revealed above, and a photo was posted in the upper left corner - he was a bald, middle-aged man with low eyebrows, wide eyes, and a greasy nose. He looked inexplicably giving people a dark and wretched feeling.

Jiang Xia quickly remembered: "Congressman Damu?"

A while ago, when he followed Kogoro Mori to visit this building, Councilman Ogi once came over drunk and shook his hand. Jiang Xia remembered that this man’s wife had a smart border collie who often got lost and squatted down. Waiting to be picked up at the door of the detective agency, it is much cuter than its male owner.

 “That’s right, Ohgi Iwamatsu, the councilman of Nishitama City.”

Miwako Sato pointed to the building diagonally above:

“The body was found five days ago in a hotel suite on the 67th floor of Building B. The time of death was between 10 o’clock and 00 o’clock in the morning the night before. The murder weapon was probably a knife, but nothing consistent was found at the scene.

"In addition, in the hand of the deceased, there was an expensive small wine glass upside down. It was cracked in the middle and divided into two parts. At first, we thought that this might be Mr. Oki's message before his death to hint at the identity of the murderer. Unexpectedly, similar things soon appeared in the second case... This was actually a 'token' left by the murderer."

 …

"I remember this incident. I was also present when Representative Omu checked into the hotel last week." Jiang Xia thought of this case and felt that the police were still too reserved, so she criticized him tactfully, "Why didn't you come to me in advance?"

Mumu Police Department: "..." You can't really call the detective immediately as soon as there is a murder case. The police also want to save face. They have to work **** their own first and encounter some bottlenecks before asking for advice... ahem.

He cleared his throat: "At that time, we actually already had a suspect, and we planned to focus on the investigation. Unexpectedly, before we could find out anything, a second murder occurred. The second case had nothing to do with you directly. Relationship, I forgot to ask you."

Jiang Xia flipped through the book in his hand and saw the information of the second deceased:

 Hara Yoshiaki, chief programmer of Tokiwa Foundation. In the photo, his hair was unexpectedly thick and he was wearing a pair of round glasses. He looked familiar—he was also one of the people Jiang Xia had met the last time he came to this building.

Jiang Xia: "..." How come it doesn't have a direct relationship with me? Isn't this a traitor from our organization... In my impression, it was because Hara Jiaming bravely used the company computer to send the organization's intelligence that the computer room of Nishitama City's Twin Buildings was now included in the organization's must-bomb list.

 …

“The day after Representative Omu’s death, the courier went to Mr. Yuan’s house to deliver the express and found the door open. He looked through the crack in the door and saw the deceased lying next to the dining table with his eyes open.

"Hara Jiaming died from a gunshot. Next to him, there was also a small wine cup that was split into two. Before he died, he seemed to have tried to fight the murderer, but unfortunately..." Miwako Sato shook her head, "The speed of the knife was not as fast as the knife. Law and gun."

Jiang Xia looked at the information book in her hand, which contained photos of the crime scene—Yuan Jiaming was indeed holding a silver table knife in his hand.

 In the next few photos, there is a close-up of the upside-down wine cup that is the “souvenir of the serial killer.”

Judging from the photo, the small wine cup was found upside down in a pool of blood. But after picking it up, there wasn't much blood on the rim of the cup—it seemed to have been placed there after the blood had coagulated. "This shows that the person who left the small wine glass and the person who killed Hara Jiaming are not the same person - the real culprit in the second phase of the case was not the murderer who killed Representative Omu, but someone else."

 Jiang Xia should have said this originally.

 But he didn't.

First of all, as a calm high school detective who is not afraid of prosecution, even if he discovers doubts during the process of "solving a case", he rarely points them out. Instead, he will wait until the evidence is complete before talking about it together.

In addition, Jiang Xia remembered that Yuan Jiaming was actually beaten to death by Ginjiu.

The deceased held the table knife firmly in his hand, not to fight to the death with the gunman, but to use the "GIN" of the silver table knife to refer to "gin" - the pronunciation of "silver" is "ギン" , written in Roman characters is "GIN", which happens to be the code name of gin.

When Gin and Vodka were cleaning up the aftermath, they didn’t take the knife away, probably because they couldn’t immediately connect the two.

Although this is a mistake, it is not a big problem.

—How many people in this world would think that "the murderer was Gin!" just because "the deceased was holding a handful of silver objects before he died"?

Just as this idea flashed through my mind, the next second, a low voice suddenly floated next to me, "...GIN." The emotions involved are very complex.

 Jiang Xia: “…?”

He silently turned his head and saw Conan Kudo, who had climbed onto the stone lion next to him at some point and was peeking at the case information in his hand from a high position.

"..." Jiang Xia raised her hand, skillfully grabbed Conan by the collar, and lifted him to the ground, "...don't step on public property."

 After a moment's pause, he asked in confusion: "What did you just say?"

Conan came back to his senses and remembered the name of the person he just blurted out. He was shocked and continued what he said as if nothing had happened:

“…I mean, human life is really fragile. Such a tall and strong person can only die from a hot weapon without any resistance.”

Miwako Sato looked at him in surprise: This elementary school student has some ideas...

She came back to her senses, ignored the child who suddenly entered the scene, and continued the topic just now:

"In short, based on various investigations, we identified a total of five suspects in the first case - Chairman Tokiwa, her secretary Miss Sawada Chienami, the painter Kisaragi Hosui, Hara Yoshiaki, and the building designer Feng Ma Yingyan."

 After a pause, she crossed out Yuan Jiaming again: "Of course, there are only four now."

Jiang Xia politely looked at the photos of the remaining four people and nodded: "I will pay more attention and contact you as soon as possible if I notice anything unusual."

Conan was also standing on tiptoes, trying to peek at the suspect's photo.

But after listening to what Miwako Sato said, he found that he knew all these people—the same people he met when he visited the building last week, so he stopped doing the useless work of peeking.
