Chapter 1114 1114 [Have a cool run]

The more Miwako Sato thought about it, the more she felt that Subaru Okiya should not be easily removed from the "suspects".

　　　…”

Okiya Subaru faced the increasingly sharp gaze of the Tokyo policewoman, and cold sweat ran down his back.

 He didn’t know if Uzo had set up “physical evidence pointing to Okiya Subaru”. And if Usa really wanted to trick him, it would be impossible for him to win the argument just by opening his mouth... So Subaru Okiya glanced at the window next to him and began to secretly think about the possibility of climbing through the window and running away.

—Let’s try our best to stall for time. Maybe with luck, Mr. Akai will be able to arrive in time.

Of course, we can't place all our hopes on the busy FBI. We also have PlanB who is working **** his own - he has to escape before being taken away by the police and temporarily hide in a place where they can't find him until Jiang Xia solves the case. Remove the suspicion and come back again.

Although this is risky, it is better than being taken away directly.

 …

While thinking about his procrastination words, Subaru Okiya secretly recalled the surrounding terrain and was ready to leave at any time.

However, we didn’t wait for things to develop to that point.

Jiang Xia's voice suddenly came from the side.

—The young detective spoke as calmly and neatly as ever:

"Instead of asking Mr. Okiya, maybe asking Ms. Yamamoto can get more information - after all, apart from the deceased, the perpetrator himself is the one who knows the situation best at the scene."

  “?!”

Having known Jiang Xia for such a long time, Okiya Subaru truly experienced for the first time what the sound of nature is, what a genius detective is, what justice comes from heaven, and what justice will surely defeat evil...

 —The detective is the strongest! Uzo counts... counts...

 Cough.

Okiya Subaru thought of Uzo's rumors about "being able to see through people's hearts" and pushed up his glasses. After all, he still didn't dare to say anything arrogant to his boss, even if he just muttered in his heart.

In any case, as Jiang Xia said these words, Okiya Subaru's original parkour plan was canceled instantly.

 He looked away from the window.

—Previously, Subaru Okiya had suspected a connection between Jiang Xia and Uzuo. During that time, he had reviewed some case information related to Jiang Xia, and even personally watched Jiang Xia solve several cases.

 So now, he knows it very well. The moment Jiang Xia said this, it meant that he had not only identified the murderer, but also found enough evidence.

 …

Okiya Subaru’s shocked reaction was not conspicuous among a group of people.

 Hearing Jiang Xia's sudden words, everyone in the room was startled. After a moment, they suddenly turned their heads and their eyes fell on Yamamoto Sakurako.

 The scrutinizing gazes from all directions turned Yamamoto Sakura into a hedgehog in an instant. Her fingertips trembled, and the phone slipped from her hand.

After coming back to her senses, Sakurako Yamamoto calmly picked up her phone again, put on an ugly smile, and looked at Jiang Xia:

“But you clearly heard Naoko’s conversation with me before she was killed, didn’t you?

"After that, I was always next to you... and her TV! No matter whether it was the murderer or Naoko who put in the coin to turn it on, I didn't have time to get to her house. I was still at the station at that time!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Xia observed Subaru Okiya's interesting reaction. At the same time, he reservedly compared himself, who gave the answer decisively, with Shuichi Akai, who was unknown and very unreliable at this time.

Then I felt that no matter how I looked at it, I was definitely a better boss—that is, Subaru Okiya, a younger brother who didn’t know the ropes, felt that Akai Shuichi was safer there every day.

He lost his mind for a moment before focusing on business.

 …

Jiang Xia looked at Yamamoto Sakurako. Although she didn't pay attention just now, she could guess what she said:

“The time when the TV is turned on can be controlled using a timer device—there is a pile of nostalgic snacks on the ground in front of the TV. Among them are long-line gummies and a melted bag of ice cream.”

Miwako Sato looked down and quickly found those two things.

Just now they were mixed in a lot of snacks, so they were not conspicuous. As soon as she got closer, Sato Miwako immediately felt something was wrong: "...the wet marks under the ice cream are very concentrated, and there are also traces of splashing."

Jiang Xia nodded and fast-forwarded leisurely:

"First put the string of the long jellybean across the coin slot, and then put the coin on the mouth. The coin will be pressed against the string and stop there, temporarily unable to enter. On both sides of the long string, one side is fixed by the weight of the jellybean hanging down, and the other is fixed by the weight of the hanging jellybean. One side is pressed under the ice cream, and the ice cream is placed on the adapter on the table and TV. In this way, as the ice cream melts and falls from the gap, and can no longer hold down the long line, the line will fall under the tug of the gummy candy. The ground, so the coin slid into the slot and turned on the TV."

 “As for that phone call…”

Jiang Xia looked at the pale-faced Yamamoto Sakurako, and originally wanted to show off.

But after a brief look, he found that even though Yamamoto Sakurako was being exposed by him, she did not have the courage to think of "silencing her mouth" in front of a room of police officers.

Jiang Xia immediately gave up his plan to reveal the truth slowly and said, "At the station just now, I did see you answering the phone. Combining the call records of the two mobile phones, the deceased's mobile phone did call you at that time. Telephone."

Listening to his words, Yamamoto Sakurako's face became increasingly uglier: "What does 'the deceased's mobile phone called me' mean? It's as if there is no Naoko, and the mobile phone will become a sperm on its own and then call me..."

"Don't change the subject, there are no goblins in this world." Jiang Xia said, "You know what I mean - except you who answered the phone, no one can guarantee that the person who made that call was the dead Miss Naoko."

“Speaking of which, I was more impressed by another thing than the phone call.

“—I remember that before you answered the phone, your other hand seemed to be moving in your windbreaker pocket several times.

“I didn’t think much about it at the time. I thought you were playing with your hands out of boredom or sorting out the handkerchiefs in your pocket... But now it seems that what was hidden in your pocket at that time was actually the deceased’s mobile phone.

"After killing Miss Naoko, you take away her flip phone, put it in a sealed bag, adjust it so that the keyboard is exposed, and put it in your pocket. Then check the time at the station and dial the number while Miss Kayori talks to me. Call yourself to create the illusion that the deceased was still alive at that time.

"When you come to the living room and see your 'friend' who is dead in a miserable state, you can take advantage of the chaos and put the deceased's cell phone on the ground, pretending that it has always been here... As for the evidence, there is always something beside you when you step forward. The strange rubbing sound became even worse after arriving at the crime scene - the sealed bag used to store the deceased's cell phone should still be in your pocket."
