Chapter 779 Steps to Integrate Anonymity

Conan didn't see Haihara Ai's expression.

He also agreed with Jiang Xia's approach and nodded with deep sympathy: "If Yiichi Watanuki really kills people and hides corpses, we will definitely expose the truth. But if Yiichi Watanuki is innocent, according to the client's current state , thinking about the worst, his subsequent behavior may rise from voyeurism to illegal housebreaking, or even murder. It is not that there have been such cases before, and they must be stopped in time. "

 After saying what he remembered, he asked Jiang Xia: "Have you gone to the Metropolitan Police Department to ask about the relevant situation?"

Jiang Xia shook his head: "Not yet, the guest is very anxious. So after he came to the door, we came directly."

 He looked at the tram coming into the station: "Let's go to the Metropolitan Police Department and ask first."

 …

The three naughty children may have realized that they were in trouble. When the tram passed near their home, they politely said goodbye and got off the tram, and then disappeared out of the door.

 Conan and Haihara Ai stayed behind like two gossip assistants who would never leave.

When he arrived at the station, Jiang Xia looked at Haibara Ai with a hint of doubt: "You seem to be very interested in solving crimes recently? I thought you would get off at Mihua Town and leave a sentence, 'Then I will go back to do experiments first.'"

“…” Haiyuan Ai shook his head, “I haven’t had any new ideas or experiments recently.”

 …This is only one of the reasons.

On the other hand, after being frightened by the curly-haired man in black who passed by her house last time, Haihara Ai hid in the closet and missed Anonymous for a night, and then she couldn't help but wonder about some of the habits of Anonymous people - for example, they seemed to I like to approach or save high school detectives, or go against organizations.

 The latter, Hui Yuan Ai does not dare to do it alone.

 But the former…

 It was rare for Jiang Xia to be so close to her. If she didn't follow him more often, she wouldn't look like a qualified anonymous member.

Although she still doesn’t know why Anonymous does what she does, performing the same behavior will give Haihara Ai a deeper sense of security that “she is also a member of Anonymous.”

In addition, she has not forgotten her conjecture that "Jiang Xia may be related to Anonymous".

It is not easy to ask this kind of question directly. You can only seize the opportunity to follow and observe secretly. In this way, maybe at some point, she will meet the Anonymous who suddenly appears... Haiyuan Ai thought of the Anonymous Miss who looked like her sister, and secretly looked forward to it.

 …

Jiang Xia came to the Metropolitan Police Department with her two children. She turned into the office area with a familiar face and brushed her face. She happened to meet Miwako Sato who was passing by with a cup of coffee.

Officer Sato saw Jiang Xia at the Metropolitan Police Department and instinctively said hello: "Come here to take notes."

 Jiangxia: “…”

 …I almost forgot, there is such a thing.

Transcripts need to be made, but there are other cases now, so the notes have to be put back a little bit.

Jiang Xia grabbed Officer Sato who was about to pull him to take a transcript: "I came here this time because of other things..."

 …

“Masao Koda...he has indeed been a frequent visitor here lately.”

Miwako Sato put the saucer in front of Jiang Xia, picked up a cup herself, took a sip, and sighed: "Speaking of this matter, we actually have a headache." Jiang Xia heard the meaning behind her words: "You guys Do you think Masao Koda is lying?"

“It’s not like lying...but to put it bluntly, we think Masao Koda may have wanted to find his missing sister so much that he had some assumptions.” Officer Sato recalled the situation of Masao Koda:

"The missing Sanae Koda did have some issues with Giichi Watanuki. But according to our investigation, Giichi Watanuki is the president of Higashihara Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. The company is currently operating normally, and he has no personal debts or urgent needs. A place for money.

“In this case, although Watanuki Yiichi did suffer losses on the stocks he bought from Koda Sanae, the total loss amounted to only about 1.5 million yen.

“—For ordinary people, it is indeed a lot. But the president of a large company will never be guilty of killing someone for this little money.

“In addition, although Masao Koda’s speculation sounds reasonable, it actually has many loopholes.

"He said, 'Koda Sanae's colleagues said that Sanae went to Watanuki's house that night, and Watanuki Yiichi denied that he had met Koda Sanae, which is a guilty conscience.' But in fact, Koda Sanae may also have gone to Watanuki's house. Guanyi's family disappeared on the road.

“Moreover, although there was a witness, according to our interviews with the witness and the izakaya he went to that night, he was very drunk that day. In that state, it was difficult for the witness to rationally distinguish the surrounding environment.

"It was late at night, and the street lights happened to be broken. When the witness heard the sound of 'shovel digging', his field of vision was limited. In this case, people's hearing will actually be affected, and it is easy to not judge whether the sound is coming from Orientation, and even make completely opposite judgments. In addition, the wind was very strong that night, and what the witness heard was probably the sound of construction on the nearby road. Later, the witness passed by that area again, and Koda Masao was anxiously traced. You have also seen the state of Koda Masao when he was stopped and questioned, and the witness may have been misled by him."

Miwako Sato recalled the series of investigations she conducted at that time and sighed:

"After this investigation, we feel more and more that Watanuki Yiichi is more like the victim. But it doesn't seem like Koda Masao is lying. In fact, we want to suggest that he see a psychiatrist, but I'm afraid he won't listen. …”

"So that's it." Jiang Xia nodded, punched in the card at the police station, stood up and prepared to leave, "Then I will first..."

Before he finished speaking, Sato Miwako stood up at the same time as him, grabbed him, and said succinctly:

 “Transcript.”

 Jiangxia: “…”

 …

the other side.

Okiya Subaru made an excuse to separate from Jiang Xia and the others, and quickly walked towards the direction where Koda Masao left.

Chased him for about a street.

 In an old phone booth on the street. Okiya Subaru saw the target he was looking for.

Through the dusty glass, you can see Masao Koda holding the phone in the phone booth and whispering something unknown.

Not long after Subaru Okiya saw him, Masao Koda raised his head and saw this graduate student whom he had met once on the street outside.

 …

 Soon, Koda Masao hung up the phone and walked out of the phone booth.

Okiya Subaru approached and adjusted his smile to exude a friendly aura - he was actually very good at this. Even if he didn't do it deliberately, people would often come over to ask for directions when he was walking outside.

Koda Masao looked at Subaru Okiya and left without turning his head. But he subconsciously glanced at the phone booth where he was just now, and his mouth tightened.
