Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 1738: 1738【Merely Bourbon】

Chapter 1738 1738 [Just bourbon...]

Conan and Kinoshita Yoko were lying in front of the one-way mirror, intently looking at the suspects in the interrogation room.

Jiang Xia stood aside, a little bored.

He remembered the opening video of the live broadcast cut by Vodka just now. He had nothing to do and decided to send a message to his colleagues to communicate:

By the way, do you know who the lucky mascot was in a doll suit when the live broadcast started yesterday, shaking hands and hugging Ms. Yoko, and asking for photos and autographs at any time? ]

 On the other side, in the black vehicle.

  Vodka glanced down at the mail and sneered.

 Heh, do you think this can stir up my emotions and arouse my anger? I…

 Damn it, I’m really a little angry!

  Vodka: "..." Bastard Uzo, I hope this guy will be poisoned by a sudden poison as soon as he randomly accepts the snacks handed by the suspect.

 …Speaking of which, who is that mascot?

If you can’t get Uzo, why can’t you get that guy?

Just as he was thinking fiercely, Jiang Xia’s next email came:

  [It’s bourbon. These days, whenever he wants, he can come to Miss Yoko for cooperation. If anyone else applies for a mascot job, they will now receive the same treatment. Alas, what a pity. ]

 Vodka: “…”

 Hehe, stupid Uzo, do you think he will be fooled by provoking him like this? Except for Bourbon who was calculated to do such a dangerous thing live broadcast, other cadres would be stupid to do it.

 Vodka: “…” But bourbon is OK, why can’t I? Just wearing a hood to say a few silly words to cheer...

 No, no, no! It’s such an obvious temptation and conspiracy, you’d be a fool to fall for it!

 Vodka's thoughts experienced many swings in a short period of time, and finally stabilized: "Conspiracy, it's all Uzo's conspiracy!"

 …

Jiang Xia suddenly felt a little pity after sending the email and not receiving a reply.

But after experiencing the fluctuation just now, the vodka must have had some ice cream.

I recently found an excuse to go to Gin's car and take a look around. I should be able to find the murderous aura **** that fell from the car.

While Jiang Xia was squeezing ice cream remotely, Officer Takagi finally found the equipment and started replaying yesterday's live broadcast.

Although the focus of the live broadcast was on the host and Jiang Xia, after entering the coffee shop, as a quarrel suddenly broke out at a certain table, the cameraman instinctively turned the camera there.

Soon, everyone saw two middle-aged men wearing glasses arguing fiercely across the dining table.

"Yes, it is indeed the deceased and the suspect." Sato Miwako checked carefully, and suddenly saw a scene, "Pause!"

As the scene paused, the two cups on the quarrelsome table were enlarged and circled by technicians.

Those are two thermos cups, very close to each other. The cups are actually the same model and look exactly the same.

 The scene continued. After learning that a live broadcast was going on and asked people to stop arguing, Hashizume Akira picked up the thermos cup and stuffed it into his bag, and left angrily.

Behind him, the deceased stared at the remaining thermos cup, his face changing several times. Finally, he lowered his head, picked up the remaining cup, and left in a hurry.

 Everyone’s eyes fell on his face.

Sato Miwako was hesitant: "Why do I feel that... when Hashizume Akira left, he seemed to have deliberately taken the deceased's cup by mistake?" She looked at Jiang Xia for confirmation. "It does seem intentional." Jiang Xia nodded, "Although the two thermos cups are close to each other, no matter how close they are, they cannot be placed in the same position. When Hashizume Akira left, he actually took the one slightly farther away from him. A cup. Judging from its position, it looks more like the deceased’s thermos cup.”

Yoko Kinoshita always felt that the expressions of the two people when they left were strange: "Maybe they saw that there was a camera filming, and they were embarrassed to continue arguing, so they didn't care about the problem of taking the wrong cup. They just wanted to leave the camera as soon as possible, and then Exchange it back?"

"There may be another situation." Officer Takagi suddenly had some speculation and slammed his fist on his palm. "I remember that the deceased was poisoned by the coffee in the thermos cup. Maybe it was yesterday that the two people met at the restaurant. Previously, Hashizume Akira poisoned his thermos cup, and when he left, he deliberately took the wrong cup and left his poisoned cup of coffee to the deceased. The deceased drank the poison when he walked under the bridge. Coffee, so it was poisoned to death!”

Jiang Xia pointed to another scene in the video: "The deceased looked at the thermos cup with such a strange expression. He must have discovered that the two of them had taken the wrong cup to each other. But he still drank the poison. There must be another hidden reason behind this."

Officer Takagi is quite optimistic: "Anyway, this can be regarded as a breakthrough. If the Megure Police Department seizes this point for questioning..."

 …

 However, unfortunately, the Mumu Police Department failed to meet his expectations.

Instead, Hashizume Akira relied on his burying skills developed as a reporter to find out the time of death of the deceased from the police in many twists and turns.

Then he leaned back in his chair with a relaxed expression: "Humph, I told you that you arrested the wrong person, but you still don't admit it—I have an alibi during this period."

 “Alibi?” Miwako Sato frowned and ran over to listen.

Yoko Kinoshita stayed where she was, with a strange expression.

Jiang Xia looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Kinoshita Yoko looked around and found that no one was eavesdropping. Then he got closer and quietly said to Jiang Xia: "According to the collection of your cases I collected, those people with the strongest alibi are probably the truth in the case." Fierce! It seems that this case has already been solved. I hope it can be solved soon, and then we can go to your school to shoot together."

Jiang Xia: "..." Do you know a little too much?

But forget it, it’s not a big problem. He nodded and agreed casually: "I also want to go to school early."

That's what he said, but Jiang Xia was actually not enthusiastic about Didan Middle School. In his impression, there were few murders in the school. Occasionally there are some cases, but most of them are just pretentious.

 Compared with this, he felt that the way to school was more exciting.

Hashizume Akira was unaware of the detective's thoughts and was still arguing with the police: "Didn't that guy die between 7 and 9 last night? And I have been squatting on a target from 6 pm to early this morning. Black information, that guy is suspected of cheating, I have been squatting under his building for several days."

  …“…There is no basis for what you say. What evidence do you have?”

“Isn’t the video I took considered evidence?” Akira Hashizume snorted coldly, “Let me go home and I’ll copy the things I took.”

 …

 Not long after, the video was played in the police station.

 At the lower right corner of the video, there is the shooting time. Moreover, at around 7 o'clock last night, a courier happened to go to the target's apartment to deliver a package, and he was also caught on camera.
