Chapter 752 Huiyuan Ai understands and adds more to the alliance leader [Xi Yali]

 In the story, Lao Yang has a beautiful fiancée "Madonna".

The dean of students, "Red Shirt", fell in love with her. In order to take Madonna away and keep it for himself for a long time, Red Shirt, together with the principal, transferred Lao Yang to teach in a remote area.

 … At this point, it may be that I have been acting for a long time and have become too involved in the drama.

 After discovering the body of "Old Yang" in the pool.

The straightforward "Porcupine" touched his unshaven chin, frowned and looked at the store manager, and said sadly: "Red Shirt, you finally attacked Lao Yang for Madonna."

The beautiful woman playing Madonna was startled and covered her face in disbelief: "How could this happen..."

"…" The store manager was the store manager after all, and he was the first to become normal. He straightened his collar and sighed, "What are you thinking? I won't do that kind of despicable thing."

There was a sound of a folding fan opening. The lean man playing the role of the red-shirted dogleg waved his fan and quickly agreed: "That's right. Mr. Store Manager would not do such despicable things."

The person who played the role of the fat principal twirled his mustache and pulled them away: "Okay, okay, we are all our own people, how can we doubt each other."

 Police Officer Sato: “…”

Her forehead jumped, and the fists at her side made a clicking sound. She tried hard to maintain a smile: "Everyone, now is not the time to act... Please go into the hall first and tell us about your relationship with the deceased. If you have other clues, please provide them to me. I."

 She took a group of employees, found a nearby room, and went in to inquire.

Conan instinctively slipped over to eavesdrop.

Huiyuan Ai looked at the door of the room, then looked at Jiang Xia, and stretched out his hand to tug at the corner of Jiang Xia's clothes.

After Jiang Xia squatted down skillfully and shortened the distance between the two, she leaned over and whispered in a low voice: "Aren't you going to tell Officer Sato about the cat?"

 …If the yellow-pink fibers on the cat’s claws are indeed from the shirt of the deceased ‘Lao Yang’. That means that the first scene of the murder was probably not this strange hotel, but the park where they found the cat corpse.

 This makes Haihara Ai a little confused—this is obviously an important clue. She could think of such a thing, and Jiang Xia must also understand it. However, now, Jiang Xia, who has always cooperated happily with the police, deliberately concealed the clues.

This made Haihara Ai become nervous instinctively, and she began to wonder if this meant that this case was related to the organization again. After all, except for this reason, she couldn't think of why Jiang Xia suddenly solved the case passively.

Jiang Xia's eyes moved, and she withdrew her eyes that were glued to the employees, admiring the murderous look. Then she remembered that she really forgot to say it.

 …Fortunately, this is not a big deal.

He said calmly: "Don't worry, let's look for clues first. It will be more convenient to talk about it together at that time. And the fewer clues the police have, the easier it will be for the murderer to relax his vigilance. Maybe he will kill someone without even knowing it." Expose flaws.”

"That's it..." Huiyuan Ai nodded clearly. These police officers are indeed unreliable when it comes to solving crimes. I was too impatient just now. When dealing with the police in the future, I must learn more from Jiang Xia...

 …

Jiang Xia walked around the yard, checked the body, and stopped briefly at various places where there might be clues.

  Demonstrate the steps of "gathering clues" to the onlookers, so that they can explain their sources of relevant intelligence in the future.

Jiang Xia walked into the hotel door and found the lobby. - This is a place temporarily borrowed by the police to interview witnesses.

 At this point, the basic inquiry has been completed. After being questioned by the police, several familiar employees finally lost the relaxed atmosphere of acting just now and were gathering together, muttering something in a low voice.

Beside him, Miwako Sato was looking through the new information collected. When she looked up, she saw Jiang Xia entering the room.

She then walked over naturally and consciously provided Jiang Xia with additional information, starting with the more important ones:

“At present, it seems that the store manager is the most suspect. Not only does he usually live in the store, but he is also the first person to discover the body.

“The most important thing is that it’s not just a drama. In reality, he and the deceased who plays ‘Old Yang’ are also love rivals – they both like the distant mountains and rivers that play ‘Madonna’.”

 The store manager is a normal person. He obviously also realized his situation from the inquiry just now.

Because Officer Sato unconsciously glanced in his direction when he spoke to Jiang Xia in a low voice, the store manager was keenly aware of the clues.

He hurriedly waved his hands and defended himself: "Lao Yang is the backbone of the personnel here. How could I kill him and cut off my own arm?"

However, this explanation sounds feeble - the Tokyoites here have more or less seen some murder cases, and they know very well that such words cannot prove their own innocence.

But Jiang Xia quite believed in him.

 He glanced at the store manager's clean calves, then looked away indifferently and turned to the other employees.

Conan caught the clue of "love rival" and was ready to take action.

 He looked around carefully and felt that there was no one here who looked like a member of the black organization—not counting Haihara Ai, who had already defected.

 So Conan carefully released a little bit of his detective nature.

He turned to the conflict between the deceased Madonna and the store manager: "Sister Madonna, do you have any idea about the relationship between them? For example, when you are very close to one of them, the expression of the other..."

Madonna thought hard. She shook her head and nodded quickly, feeling a little sad and confused:

"Yes, yes, but because in "The Young Master", 'Lao Yang' and 'Red Shirt' are love rivals, so I thought they were just pretending to be in front of customers, or were too into the show - 'Lao Yang' is usually very strict with us. , often warns us that if we want to play a role well, we must devote ourselves to it. So even if the client is away, we will maintain our identity as the actors in the play. I didn't expect..."

Possibly because she felt that the death of "Lao Yang" might have something to do with her, she didn't say any more, sighed, and left with a sad expression.

 The inquiry has now been completed. In addition to Madonna, many employees have left here just now.

　　After the remaining few members also left together, Sato Miwako closed the door and sighed.

 She handed Jiang Xia the record of the previous inquiry:

"Things are a bit troublesome... Although the conflict between the store manager and Lao Yang is indeed more prominent. But upon closer inspection, except for the store manager, all the actors here have a bad opinion of the deceased. In other words, they all have motives.

“—In the novel, Lao Yang is an honest man who is submissive, does not know how to refuse, and even helps count the money when someone cheats him.

“But in reality, the deceased was very harsh on the employees. He was usually responsible for coaching the employees’ acting skills and had the right to fire them.”
