Chapter 659: Lend me a subordinate

However, the development of things was different from what Conan imagined.

Toru Amuro actually did not let the police suspect Jiang Xia as the murderer.

He testified: "The deceased died in the early morning. When Jiang Xia came to my room, it was just before ten o'clock in the evening, and he never left after that."

 “Haha!” When Yamamura Cao heard this, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and his finger pointing at Jiang Xia suddenly changed its direction.

He turned and pointed at Amuro with great force: "You were scammed! - How do you know the specific time of death? Huh, it must be because you have been to room 207 before and after the death of the deceased... Huh? Wait, could it be Are you the murderer?!"

 Jiangxia: “…”

 He glanced at Toru Amuro: Are you not risking murder? The veins on the boss’s forehead can be vaguely seen…

Toru Amuro clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles.

 Then he showed a polite smile: "Why do you know...Of course you can see it, I am a detective after all."

Jiang Xia was very considerate and said: "Mr. Amuro is the boss of the detective agency where I work."

"Detective..." Yamamura Soo couldn't find the real murderer quickly. He lowered his hand pointing at the "murderer" with some disappointment and reluctantly accepted this statement. "No wonder you guys go out together. Oh, by the way, the agency Jiang Xia works at seems to be called 'Amuro Detective Agency'. I've seen it in reports."

However, Yamamura Soo did not simply give up his “reasoning”.

He quickly thought of something, stood up again, and looked at Toru Amuro:

"But even so, your words cannot be used as evidence - if Jiang Xia's reputation is damaged because of 'killing people', you, the boss, must suffer even greater losses.

"After Jiang Xia killed someone, he must have run to you in a panic to tell you about it, and then you disposed of the body with him! Or, Jiang Xia just told you that he wanted to surrender, and you stopped and took the lead in the fake 'suicide by hanging'? - I'm sorry to tell you that there is nothing wrong with self-defense, but treating the body like this and trying to deceive the clever police is a crime! Admit it early! In view of your contribution to the police, I can fight for you. 'Turn yourself in' reputation."

　　　…”

Jiang Xia secretly glanced at Toru Amuro again.

 Then he looked away in disappointment.

It seemed like he wanted to knock Yamamura Cao down and beat him up, but the boss actually didn't risk his murderous intent... The boss had such a bad temper, it was really a frustrating thing.

 …

at the same time.

Wearing a baseball cap, Yuya Kazami mingled low-key among the crowd. He glanced at Toru Amuro’s smiling expression from behind his lenses and shuddered silently.

“…” What on earth is this Gunma County Police Department talking about?

　　Before clear evidence is found, any detective who arrogantly points to someone and "reasons" may be accused. What's more, they are police officers who are civil servants...

And just now, when Yamamura Soo was facing the "ghost" and Jiang Xia, he was dizzy and crawling. He didn't look like a policeman on duty at all... If this continues, he and his colleagues will not be affected by Chiyu and be assigned some missions that make people want to die. Or train. After all, their performance during this trip was actually very average...

Kazami Yuya remembered the time when he got lost in the woods. Thinking again about the camera that Jiang Xia casually took out last night, a feeling of despair emerged in his heart.

　　…　　　 Yamamura Cao knew nothing about the worries of his colleagues.

 The more he talked at this time, the more he felt that this reasoning was very reasonable - and the words of Toru Amuro and Jiang Xia were indeed full of loopholes: "-Also, if the room is really unsuitable, why not find a hotel to change to another one?"

"Okay. I didn't want to say it before, but since it's related to the case..." Toru Amuro didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly regained his composure.

He crossed his arms and swept the crowd with his peripheral vision. He paused in the direction of Kazami Yuya for a moment, then looked at Yamamura Cao and explained: "It's because someone was secretly filming - last night, Jiang Xia was in the room and found There’s a hidden camera.”

"It was very windy and rainy last night, and there was no signal. And if this is a shady store, if you say this rashly, you may be in danger. We can only pretend that nothing happened and make do with it for the night." Toru Amuro took out In order to explain the mentality when dealing with strange guests, "That's it."

Yamamura Cao: "..." It barely makes sense.

 He ​​touched his chin, a little disappointed: His reasoning failed to hit the mark?

 —The wise genius policeman exposes the conspiracy of the high school detective and sends the teenagers who have gone astray to reform. Decades later, the policeman retired with gray temples, glorious scars and legends, and the detective who was forced back on track returned to society. After suffering many hardships, he understood the police's painstaking efforts and took over the baton of justice again...

Such a tragic life full of reincarnation, could it be that it had to be cut off after just a few minutes?

“…” Well, if you think about it carefully, even if the person was really killed by Jiang Xia. Due to his defensive skills and being underage, he will definitely not be able to retire by himself. Unless Jiang Xia enters the juvenile detention center and commits a mass murder there; or after being imprisoned, she is implicated in a large number of cases hidden behind it, like a terrifying iceberg under the sea...

Hamamura Cao sighed secretly.

At this time, the criminal policeman who was working hard suddenly discovered something: "Police Officer Shancun, there is no mobile phone on the deceased. It may have been taken away."

"Oh." Yamamura Cao was woken up from the drama in his mind when he was shouted by other detectives. He was a little confused and briefly forgot the idea of ​​solving the case just now.

As he was racking his brains, a voice interrupted him.

—Jiang Xia naturally used his subordinates:

"Let's check the staff in the store first. If the deceased really wanted to pretend to claim the box, then he should have someone who knew about the hotel, knew that the hotel owner had poor eyesight and could not recognize people, and even knew about the hotel owner's plan. Invite me to study the accomplice of that box

  “—People who have these characteristics at the same time are likely to be the staff inside the hotel.”

"Indeed..." Yamamura Cao nodded reluctantly, intending to compliment him, "Well, since what you said makes sense, I'll give you a chance to prove your innocence."

However, before he spoke, several criminal police officers said "Okay" to Jiang Xia in unison, followed the order and ran out without looking back, preparing to scrutinize the employees in the hotel.

 Yamamura Cao looked at the backs of the criminal policemen: "..."

 …whose subordinates are you?

 …

The hotel owner also followed out, intending to help gather the staff.

 But I’ve only been out for half a minute.

He jogged all the way again, turned back, held up his mobile phone in his hand, and said in surprise: "Mr. Jiang Xia, look at this email! It seems to be in this room!"
