Chapter 251 Jiang Xia, please come down and ask for your monthly ticket ()

In Hijikata’s perfect script, since Jiangxia is some distance away from the balcony next door, it is impossible to tell whether Mrs. Hijikata is dead or fainted from a distance. So what a few people should do at that time is to rush to the "doorstep of Okita's house" nearby and smash the door to let Okita open the door.

Of course, in fact, there is no living person in the house opposite, so the door is destined to be unable to be knocked.

At this time, Hijikata Kozaburo could take the opportunity to drive away the others, and he would guard the door to prevent the "perpetrator" from escaping.

The way to remove Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan is very simple - let one of them go to the apartment manager to get the spare key of Okita's house, and the other one goes to the nearby police station to call the police. There is a police station next to Hijikata's house. Without memorizing the police station's independent phone number, running over to call for help is faster than calling 110, and you can also explain the situation on the road.

As for the extra child... When a child is in danger, he will subconsciously follow an acquaintance. Anyway, he will not stay with him to guard the door of "Okita's house".

 In the plan, after the three obstructive people are gone, Hijikata Kozaburo can use a rope to lower the body from the balcony of his own home to the balcony of Okita's house. Then wipe off the ink stains in the elevator, change the house number to the normal one, and at the same time move from the sixth floor to the fifth floor, guarding the door of Okita's house, and you can complete this great shift in the universe.

Hijikata Kozaburo straightened out his script in his mind and felt that it was almost ready.

 The three students next to him were still looking at the scenery by the river.

Hijikata Kozaburo glanced at them and secretly pressed the button in his hand.

In the room of "Okita"'s house next door, a phone suddenly rang.

Mao Lilan vaguely heard the sound, and she reminded Hijikata Kozaburo: "The phone is ringing."

Hijikata Kozaburo smiled and waved his hand: "It's not my home phone number, it should be Okita's. He lives next door."

"That's it!" Mao Lilan's eyes lit up again, and she looked to the next door with excitement - it looked ordinary, but it turned out to be a balcony for celebrities!

Just after looking at it for a second, a corpse fell out of the house and fell on the balcony.

Mao Lilan smiled: "..."

Mao Lilan whose smile disappeared: "..."

Mao Lilan took out her mobile phone and pressed "1": "!!"

 At the same time, Hijikata Kozaburo also started acting vigorously. He shouted his wife's name: "Nagami!"

At the same time, in order to be more realistic, he suddenly raised his legs and stepped onto the balcony railing, pretending to climb to the next door.

Mao Lilan was startled, temporarily stopped calling the police, and grabbed the person with all her strength: "Don't be impulsive, this is the fifth floor!"

　　"Why don't you ask me to be impulsive?! That's my wife!" Kozaburo Hijikata clutched the handrail and roared anxiously, "Yongmei! What's wrong with you, you..."

 His words stopped abruptly.

Next to him, the railing made a dull sound.

Hijikata Kozaburo turned his face to the side in confusion and saw a black leather boot stepping on it.

He suddenly remembered something, and there was a buzz in his head. He raised his head suddenly, looked up along his legs, and saw Jiang Xia who was stepping on the railing.

Jiang Xia's back was slightly arched, and she looked directly at the body on the balcony opposite.

Hijikata Kozaburo: “…”

wait wait wait.

 …It can’t be what he thinks.

 …This is the sixth floor!

Hijikata Kozaburo's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Xia's ankle.

However, before closing his palms, Jiang Xia kicked off the edge of the balcony, jumped lightly to the railing of the opposite balcony, and landed smoothly.

Under the gaze of Kozaburo Hijikata, whose heartbeat stopped, he walked to the corpse, squatted down and checked the corpse's pulse and breathing. Then he stood up again and sighed softly: "He has been dead for a while, please call the police."

Hijikata Kozaburo stared at him, feeling that his brain had stopped functioning.

　　…The script should clearly be that after he was grabbed, he immediately led these guests to rush to the door of "Okita"'s house and started hammering on the door. But now...

How could things become like this?

 His plan, his layout…

At this moment, the balcony door diagonally below was opened with a crash.

Okita was wearing casual clothes, pulled down the headphones around his neck, and looked at the balcony of Hijikata Kozaburo's house in confusion.

He saw the three people gathered beside the railing and asked, "I thought I heard someone shouting just now? What happened?"

　Conan and Mao Lilan looked at him in shock, as if a question mark slowly rose above their heads.

Mao Lilan said in confusion: "Mr. Okita? Don't you live in 502 opposite Mr. Hijikata's house? Why did you run to the fourth floor?"

"Ah?" Okita was even more confused than she was. He patted the railing of his house, "What's the fourth floor? Isn't this 502?"

 …

As Conan poked his head out thoughtfully and began to count the floors one by one, Kozaburo Hijikata's eyes gradually darkened, and he felt as if the world was leaving him.

  No, it shouldn’t be like this.

His exquisite techniques, his rehearsals and decorations several times a month, his careful selection of idiot detectives...

Mao Lilan looked blankly at Okita, then at Hijikata, still confused, and finally had to look at Jiang Xia on the opposite balcony.

Jiang Xia also looked thoughtful and nodded slightly towards her.

Although Mao Lilan still couldn't figure out the situation, the action steps engraved in her DNA made her take out her phone as soon as she looked at Jiang Xia, pressed 110 at the speed of light, and dialed out.

Hijikata Kozaburo has basically lost his ability to think now, his face is blank, and he only has a little survival instinct left.

 He heard the short sound of the dialing key and vaguely realized that Mao Lilan was calling the police, so he reached out to her and tried to take away her mobile phone.

Although Maorilan is relatively naive, she has experienced so many murder cases and has witnessed so many reasonings at the scene. The series of situations just now made her vaguely aware that something was wrong.

Especially she remembered that just now, when Jiang Xia wanted to jump to the opposite side, Hijikata Kozaburo directly reached out to grab Jiang Xia's leg.

Although this can be reluctantly explained as Hijikata Kozaburo was worried about the safety of guests jumping around on the fifth floor and wanted to stop it.

 But in that case, it is obviously more dangerous to reach out and pull someone directly. If he destroys Jiang Xia's balance, Jiang Xia may fall directly.

—In short, Mao Lilan now feels that something is not right about Hijikata Kozaburo, and is secretly wary of him.

At this time, when she saw Kozaburo Hijikata suddenly reaching out to her, as if he was going to **** the phone, she screamed in fear and kicked it out.

Hijikata Kozaburo flew out in response and hit the railing with a clang. The two floors seemed to shake.

Jiang Xia and Okita downstairs, who were concentrating on eating melon, were startled. When they looked up, they saw a faint bulge on the railing.

Okita looked at this scene blankly.

 After a while, he stopped eating melon, left the balcony, and silently retreated into the safety of his living room.
