The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 22: I am super innocent

Jiang Xia turned his head and found, unsurprisingly, that Conan found the body with great precision, and even hit the electric light with his hand.

The two girls next to her were visibly stiff.

A second later, two intertwined screams resounded through the corridor, and the high vibrato that broke the boundary was more piercing than the alarm bell.

After Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko got together again, they looked at Jiang Xia and said incoherently: "You, you..."

Jiang Xia: "I didn't kill it."

The two people on the opposite side covered their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time: "Oh, we also think..."

Before she could relax, she suddenly saw Jiang Xia looking at them and said thoughtfully, "If I say it, you will believe me?"

“…”

It's too much like a good guy's line when he jumps backwards.

Two pairs of frightened eyes looked at Jiang Xia again: "!"

"It's not me." Jiang Xia said again patiently.

However, this time, Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko still looked horrified and a little suspicious.

Jiang Xia looked at them and felt that the reaction of the two classmates was quite interesting.

Sure enough, people have been fooled a lot, and their precautions will also be improved accordingly...

However, considering that many future cases are related to Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko.

Jiang Xia feels that these are two good legs for picking up ghosts.

A friendly relationship should be maintained.

So he slowed down his tone and explained: "What I said just now is just a simple question..."

He didn't finish the rest.

And his two classmates are obviously very good at self-completion.

At this time, facing Jiang Xia's hesitant gaze, they consciously continued with words like "I didn't expect you to think I was a murderer".

Maurilan, Suzuki Sonoko: "..."

Indeed, they were preconceived.

Now look back and think about it carefully, even if Jiang Xia just walked out of the room with a corpse, even if he didn't panic in the face of the corpse, even if he stepped on the blood, his expression was very dull...

But compared to jumping backwards, Jiang Xia's sentence "You believe me when I say it?" shouldn't be understood as "I say you believe it? Do you trust me so much? I'm so moved"...?

Two kind-hearted classmates gradually feel guilty.

Suzuki Sonoko cleared his throat, walked back to the place, grabbed Jiang Xia's hand, shook it vigorously, and said firmly:

"Just kidding, of course we trust you!"

...Ah, this hand is really good to touch.

And it's not what she thought before.

It's not cold.

It is quite warm to hold, and may be a guest hand warmer in winter.

At this time, Conan also came back from the exhibition hall.

He first reminded Mao Lilan to call the police, and then looked at Jiang Xia:

"We believe that you didn't kill the person, but you are the first person who discovered the body after all, and the police will give priority to suspecting you. You should carefully review today's itinerary, it is best to find an alibi, and come here Have you seen any suspicious people on the way?"

Conan is not blindly trusting Jiang Xia's character.

It's just the corpse in the exhibition hall. The death is so tragic that blood is splattered everywhere.

If the person was killed by Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia could not be so clean.

In addition, Conan has seen Jiang Xia beat people before - with a stick, stick by stick, like playing whack-a-mole in a game room.

As in the exhibition hall, imitating oil paintings and pinning people to the wall... The sense of ritual is very strong, and it is quite complicated.

It doesn't look like Jiang Xia's style.

Therefore, Conan felt that the truth was that Jiang Xia passed by here. For some reason, he walked into the hall to take a look, and then accidentally stepped on the blood.

As for why Jiangxia doesn't turn on the lights, scream, or call the police...

It can only be speculated that it has something to do with his character.

Everyone reacts differently when they see a dead body.

Conan really couldn't imagine the scene where Jiang Xia fled while screaming.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Xia walked out of the exhibition hall calmly just now, which seems quite reasonable.

And theoretically speaking, Jiang Xia is a bit...

In short, some abnormal behaviors, put on him, can not be regarded as abnormal.

I just don't know if Jiang Xia asks for more than ten days of sick leave every month, misses more than ten days of school, and whether she honestly goes to see a doctor in the Department of Cardiology.

Thinking of this, Conan reviewed the daily life of Jiang Xia he observed.

It seems to be all racing, beating people, visiting exhibition halls... Conan thought tiredly, the answer is probably no.

…

The exhibition hall is not too far from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Four people stood at the door of the exhibition hall, afraid of fear, reasoning reasoning, wanting to pick up ghosts... It didn't take long before the police arrived.

In the Hell Exhibition Hall, the headlights are turned on, and the room is instantly bright.

The Mumu police department and the police officers from the forensics department entered the hall together to find clues, and sent a few other subordinates to find witnesses to inquire about the situation.

Officer Sato came out with orders, swept his eyes at the four people, and stopped at Jiang Xia's back.

According to her experience, the probability of the murderer appearing in the first person to find out is very high.

Compared with the two high school girls whose faces were pale, who were dodging and did not dare to look at the corpse, and the elementary school student who was not as tall as Sato's legs, Jiang Xia's suspicion immediately climbed straight up.

Just after approaching, Jiang Xia turned around, and Officer Sato was startled when he saw his front.

...This person, she just met in the office not long ago.

Although Sato is not a police officer in the forensics department, he has some experience with so many murder cases.

She could roughly tell how long the body had been dead.

And according to her rough judgment... When the boss was really cold, Jiang Xia was sitting in their office reporting the crime.

Could it be that this time, the murderer was not among the first wave of people who discovered the body?

Sato Miwako is quite surprised.

——————

The witnesses did not provide much clues

Fortunately, there is a surveillance camera in the Hell Pavilion, right at the crime scene.

However, when the police replayed the footage, they only saw the murder process, but failed to see the murderer's face - which was blocked by the knight's armor.

After the surveillance broadcast, Jiang Xia picked up his mobile phone, and there was a video he just filmed secretly.

It was not the surveillance footage, but Curator Ochiai.

Just now, while everyone else was watching the surveillance camera, the curator squatted down and pretended to tie his shoelaces, took the opportunity to use a good pen, and replaced the one on the floor that Boss Zhenzhong had used before he died, a pen could not write. 's pen.

While the police were contemplating the surveillance, Jiang Xia skipped the reasoning step and walked to the curator.

The curator is holding his hands behind his back, staring deeply at the oil painting on the wall - the oil painting of a knight slaying a demon, but covered in blood.

In the eyes of the curator, Mr. Zhenzhong did not believe what he said. He agreed to continue the exhibition, but suddenly he wanted to demolish the exhibition hall.

So the curator doesn't regret killing. And the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the knight in the painting was very similar to his situation.

——Handsome, tragic, sacrificing everything just to eradicate evil.

As he was sighing with emotion, a sentence suddenly floated over from the side:

"The righteous knight subdues the demon, but at the same time, he is also infected with the blood of evil... Is that what you think?"

The curator was startled, and looked to his side sharply, and saw that the young man who first discovered the body walked up to him at some point.

Curator Ochiai froze for a few seconds with a guilty conscience~IndoMTL.com~ After a while, he twisted his beard, feeling that he was thinking too much.

His plans cannot be easily seen. Jiang Xia was probably just talking about oil painting.

However, in the next second, Jiang Xia's topic was completely deviated from the oil painting.

He suddenly said: "You should know that when signing a land sales contract, the seller can impose restrictions on the subsequent use of the land - such as writing the 'continue to operate the exhibition hall' into the contract."

The curator was startled.

Jiang Xia continued: "It's just that this restriction will discourage many buyers. So once restrictions are added to the contract, the land will become difficult to sell.

"It now appears that your previous boss did not incorporate the 'limitation of land use' agreement into the contract."

"If you don't have a promise written into the contract, even a rookie who has just been hired for a few months will not believe it, let alone your former boss, an experienced businessman."

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he looked at the curator: "Speaking of which, you are already quite old. You have been working in the workplace for decades, and you are still a curator. You must have signed a lot of contracts. You never thought about that, did you?"

Slipped aside and silently overheard Conan for a long time: "..."

Although he doesn't quite understand the antecedents...but being so yin and yang towards an old man, wouldn't he really be so angry that he would be touched? !

But that's not the point.

The point is, from what Jiang Xia said, he seemed to suspect that the curator was the murderer.

...why?

Also, how could Jiang Xia be so clear about the exhibition hall?

Could it be that the lady at the ticket office told him?
