Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 68 Script flow to solve the case

   The short-lived commercials were broadcast soon, and the live broadcast continued.

   After a while, during a 4-minute commercial, the host left the studio on the pretext of going to the toilet.

   He had already killed Suwa because Suwa wanted to replace him and let a beautiful star host the show to increase the ratings.

   As soon as he left the sight of the staff, the host immediately ran to the warehouse on the seventh floor. On the way, he took out the cell phone and gun that had been hidden in advance, called Suwa, and lied to him that he was going to jump off the building.

   Suwa was on the fourth floor at this time.

   After receiving the call, he opened the up and down rotating window in shock, leaned out, and looked up.

   However, instead of seeing the scene of jumping off the building, he saw a black muzzle instead. Behind the muzzle, the host smiled at him and pulled the trigger.

The    bullet pierced through Suwa’s temple, the body slipped and fell, pressing down on the lower half of the window, and the up-and-down window was re-closed.

   Before the window was fully closed, the host let go and threw the gun into the house.

   So, it looked like someone broke into Suwa’s room, forced him to the window with a gun, and shot him to death.

   And the four-minute advertising time is not enough for the host to go back and forth from the ninth floor where the studio is located to the fourth floor where Suwa is located. In other words, he has an alibi.

   The host sneered and packed up various props and rushed back to the studio.

   He returned to his seat as if nothing had happened, and nodded apologetically to the others.

   The host didn’t delay the live broadcast, and of course his casual colleagues didn’t say anything.

   Only the young detective looked down at his calf.

   The host was guilty of being a thief. After Jiang Xia looked away, he also secretly lowered his head and looked at his trouser legs.

  It’s okay, it looks clean, and there are no strange things on it.

   The host was relieved and continued to host the show.

  …

   After the live broadcast, more people were looking for the producer, and Suwa’s body was soon found.

  The Mumu police team came and saw Jiang Xia in the crowd at a glance.

  Moku’s expression was a little complicated for a moment.

  … Brother Jiang Xia’s memorization of words lasted a little too long.

   And the frequency of Jiang Xia encountering cases, especially the frequency of cases in which prisoners use fancy tactics, seems to be a lot higher than that of Brother Kudo.

  …

   There are a lot of people in the building, but there are very few people who are not suspected, which makes the detection of the case more difficult.

  Fortunately, the time of committing the crime is fairly clear – during the live broadcast, the host asked the staff to find Suwa. At that time, Suwa was still alive, so the time of the murder was framed within 40 minutes.

   The Mumu Police Department touched his chin and thought for a moment politely.

   After a minute, he gave up thinking: “Brother Jiangxia, what do you think?”

   Jiang Xia did not disappoint him.

   The reasoning of this new and old brother is as simple as ever: “The murderer should be Mr. Matsuo.”

   As if he was afraid that someone might not know who “Mr. Matsuo” was, Jiang Xia pointed at the door very intimately: “That host.”

host:”……”

   He stayed for a second and then became furious: “How could I kill my friend?!” Tears streamed down as he spoke.

   Regardless of his business ability, at least his acting skills are very qualified.

   However, several police officers who had seen Jiang Xia’s reasoning became vigilant and secretly surrounded the host in the middle.

   The host found that the emotional card didn’t work, so he had to start talking about the evidence. He looked at Jiang Xia: “When Suwa was killed, I was always in the studio, didn’t you just sit next to me!”

   Jiang Xia nodded: “But you left for four minutes during the ad break.”

   “That can’t be me!”

   The host really couldn’t figure out why Jiang Xia was staring at him. It stands to reason that people like Jiang Xia who always stayed by his side and watched his movements with their own eyes were the easiest to be deceived.

This is also one of the reasons why the host will start today – all the famous detectives invited for this show, only this time, Jiang Xia, who has solved very few cases in total, is suspected of relying on Yoko Kinoshita to enter the relationship. I think it is the least difficult to fool Jiang Xia.

  However, things were completely different from what he thought – other detectives at least talked about evidence, but Jiang Xia didn’t hesitate from the beginning, as if he was very sure that the murderer was him… What went wrong? !

   The host looked at the approaching police and was anxious, and explained: “Four minutes is not enough! From the 9th floor studio to here, it will take at least six minutes to go back and forth on the nearest road!”

   As soon as these words came out, everyone else was silent.

  Yoko Kinoshita has been reading mystery novels a lot since he met Jiang Xia, and his brain circuit seems to be close to that of a detective.

   She questioned weakly: “How do you know so well? Have you tested it yourself?”

host:”……”

   But he is worthy of being a comedian, and he has a fast rounding speed: “I was 7 minutes late for a meeting. I was running while looking at my watch. When I arrived, I was just in time, so I was very clear about the time…”

   This reason is barely plausible.

   The Mumu Police Department was successfully persuaded.

   In order to confirm the round-trip time, he looked at Jiang Xia and took out a stopwatch: “Would you like to take a run?”
