Chapter 661 One hundred ways to commit murder

Conan always feels that there are some very crucial coincidences hidden in this.

 At present, combined with other factors, the causes and consequences of this murder can be roughly sorted out.

—Shenbao Daxiong, the ghost in the hotel, learned that the hotel owner wanted to ask a detective to check the suitcase, so for some reason, he became interested in the suitcase and asked someone to pretend to be Jiang Xia to defraud the suitcase.

 However, Toru Amuro "happened" to bring Jiang Xia here and took the suitcase in advance.

 That night, the magic treasure Nobita and the deceased entered Jiang Xia's room one after another and killed each other over the suitcase. Afterwards, Shenbao Daxiong took away the mobile phone of the deceased, which in turn proved that the two were accomplices, in order to avoid the leakage of communication records.

 All in all, it looks like this is just a tragedy of evil people fighting each other.

 But if you look closely, you can find that there are some crucial coincidences hidden in it.

　　…Why did Jiangxia and Toru Amuro come just as the innkeeper wanted to invite a detective?

 …Why is it that only Jiang Xia’s house happens to have a camera? Just now, Conan randomly sneaked into a few nearby rooms and looked around, but he didn't find that anyone else had been tampered with in the room.

In addition, there is Jiang Xia’s changed style of clothes—when the fake “Jiang Xia” comes, he should be wearing a peaked cap and a mask. It's normal for celebrities to cover their faces with these things. In this case, it would be difficult for someone who is not an acquaintance to tell the authenticity of the two Jiang Xia. People in the hotel may think that the man in black is the real Jiang Xia.

Conan thought about it carefully and found that the mixture of these factors can lead to countless unfavorable possibilities.

For example, the fake "Jiang Xia" arrived a little early, took away the box, and then threw the blame to Jiang Xia after doing bad things;

Or after someone kills Jiang Xia, they use the existence of the fake "Jiang Xia" to obscure the time of Jiang Xia's death and create an alibi for themselves... Although Jiang Xia is not easy to control, if there is a mole who poisons the drinking water, the matter will have to be discussed separately. .

 …

Of course, among the countless endings, this situation naturally includes this one.

 Compared to the previous ones, when someone is behind the scenes, the current situation seems to be the outcome with the highest probability of being achieved.

So, just look at the current words: Jiang Xia's travel route was decided by Amuro Toru, and the clothes were also ordered by Amuro Toru. After discovering the camera, Jiang Xia was asked to keep quiet and stay in his room quietly, and vacated room 207. It was probably the same. Toru Amuro…

Conan touched his chin, lost in thought.

Perhaps my thinking went astray from the beginning. The purpose of Boss Amuro was not to murder Jiang Xia, but to use Jiang Xia's reputation to appear here naturally, and then use these conditions to cleverly kill the deceased and alienate himself?

  …"Using various murder cases to achieve his real goal... If it is true, such a method is really hard to guard against. And it’s also extremely difficult to debunk.

 Finding the physical evidence of a murder case is already a troublesome part. But now, there is no evidence that Amuro Toru broke the law or instigated anything. Everything is just speculation.

 I really hope this is just my overthinking...

Conan sighed inwardly. On the one hand, he hoped that this was just a coincidence, but on the other hand, he had to prepare for the worst - Amuro Toru controlled the murder case. So as not to fall behind due to lack of preparation at the critical moment.

 After all, when facing vicious gangsters, opportunities often disappear in a blink of an eye.

 …

 Others present did not think as much as Conan.

Although Toru Amuro also felt that the murder case was solved very coincidentally and quickly. But along the way, it was difficult for such a coincidence to arouse his alertness. What’s more, he himself plays a dominant role in these coincidences, and the choices he makes are not easily suspicious. Few people suddenly feel that the decisions they make independently are actually controlled by others.

Of course, the most important thing is that Toru Amuro was not controlled in the first place, and he was indeed acting completely according to his own will.

 …

Yamamura Cao failed to deduce the murderer just now. Seeing Jiang Xia again now, it is inevitable that he feels a little guilty.

At the same time, he slowly realized that this was a powerful detective, so he simply followed the police instinct and approached: "Speaking of which, what is in that box? It's worth them killing each other."

Although the fake Jiang Xia opened the box last night. But at that time, his back was turned to the surveillance camera, covering the inside of the box.

The truth is still unclear based only on the surveillance video transmitted by "passing eyes".

Jiang Xia turned to look at Yamamura Cao. Although this confused policeman failed to extract the murderous intent from the boss and did not work hard enough. But then I thought about it, Yamamura Soo also seemed to have the physique to summon cases, and he often encountered serial murders.

So he spoke in a friendly tone and said patiently: "It's an old newspaper from September five years ago. Kumamoto Sports Newspaper, the title is "Akagi Maru First Victory", you can go to the local library to look for it, there should be a backup there."

“Hurry up and contact the people over there and send them a photocopy.”

Hearing this, Yamamura Cao turned his head and sent one of his subordinates to look for him as if passing a microphone.

 Then he belatedly wondered: “Just put a newspaper?”

"That's right." The innkeeper suddenly spoke when he heard this.

He was deeply impressed by Yamamura Cao's "unparalleled reasoning" and didn't want to experience it again, so he hurriedly interrupted: "I was also there at the time. After the box was handed over to Mr. Jiang Xia, it never left my hand until it was opened. From what I’ve seen, the only thing inside is an old newspaper, which has never been swapped.”

 …The hotel owner originally thought that this confused policeman would continue to use force.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yamamura Cao looked at him with condemnation: "Of course! How could a detective like Jiang Xia leak the contents of your box! Speaking of which, you entrusted him with the investigation, and you still stared at the box the whole time... Where is the trust between people?!”

“…” The innkeeper rolled up his sleeves unconsciously, “*&#￥%…”

Jiang Xia glanced at him subconsciously. Almost at the same time, two transparent shadows flashed across his eyes.

—The mermaid and Miss Spider rushed out indiscriminately and bounced towards the innkeeper. When they came back, they brought with them a very weak but definitely present murderous aura.

This kind of murderous intention, although the amount is very small, does not care about fullness at all. But it looks like a misty veil.

The two monsters and Miyano Akemi gathered together and began to murmur and gesture at it, like several fashion designers surrounding a piece of rare fabric.

Since there was too little murderous aura, and there were too many people around him at this time, Jiang Xia couldn't reach out to push the ghosts away and rescue the murderous aura. From a normal person's perspective, the way he interacted with the air was really strange.
