Chapter 31: The Essential Qualities of a Detective

After one minute of eye contact.

Ikumi Gunda realized in hindsight that she was thinking too much.

But now, everyone has been brought in, and it is not easy to drive him out again - he can't tell Jiang Xia that the reason for driving him away is that he used to make up too much brain, and now he finds that the truth does not match his brain......

Gunda Yumei pressed the corner of her forehead tiredly.

In the end, she was still too embarrassed to open her mouth to chase people.

could only start chatting under Jiang Xia's inexplicable gaze, pretending that she invited Jiang Xia in, originally to chat.

The two detectives sit together and, of course, talk about the incident.

Ikumi Gunda told about the strange things he encountered recently.

- On Monday, Yutaka Abe came to her door and asked her to follow a bearded man.

The time limit is 3 days, and the commission fee is 500,000 yen, and the remuneration is generous.

Ikumi Yanita followed three days from Monday to Wednesday.

On Thursday, she finished work and put on a cucumber mask, ready to give herself a day off.

Who knows, when I pressed on the TV casually and was looking for a bubble drama to adjust my mood, a familiar person suddenly appeared in the homicide news.

- The bearded man died.

Someone found his charred body in the bonfire of a festival in Gunma Prefecture.

Yumi Gunda stared at the photo of the deceased on TV, and the cucumbers fell in shock.

Surprised, as an experienced detective, she quickly zeroed in on a suspicious person.

Her client - Yutaka Abe.

After seeing the news, Ikumi Gunda rushed to the police station as soon as possible and provided relevant clues.

The police found Abe Yutaka and investigated a little, and found that this person was indeed very problematic - some time ago, the deceased bought an insurance policy, and the beneficiary was Abe Yutaka .

Now, as soon as the bearded man dies, Toyoshi Abe gets 500 million yen.

As a result, the "suspect" label on Abe's head can't be taken off at all.

However, the police and Ikumi Gunda failed to find any evidence of Yutaka Abe's murder.

In addition, Yutaka Abe also got an alibi for himself.

- Early Wednesday morning, the last day that Ikumi Gunda followed the bearded, Yutaka Abe went on a trip with his colleagues.

There are not only witnesses in the whole process, but also photographs as physical evidence.

When Ikumi Gunda said this, she picked up the tea and took a sip of tea.

She was waiting for Jiang Xia to ask, "There is a clear alibi, why do you still think he is a murderer." ”

Then she was able to take advantage of the situation to tell Jiang Xia that she had found the flaw in Abe Feng's alibi.

After that, Jiang Xia, as a young detective who has just entered the industry, will probably ask her why she doesn't arrest people if she has flaws.

At this time, it is necessary to tell the young man in front of him that the detective cannot only rely on reasoning, but also on evidence - with a solid alibi, he can get rid of suspicion immediately. But "there is no alibi" cannot be used as ironclad evidence to arrest people.

Ikumi Gunda was holding tea, her face was calm and calm, and the script in her mind was written vividly, and she opened a lot of small theaters with emotion.

- Detective, when you tell the story, you want twists and turns.

We must not just speak dryly, but must skillfully use various rhetoric of interludes and flashbacks to predict the audience's reaction, throw out the twist in time, sell the pass, and create suspense...... In this way, the reasoning can achieve a perfect effect.

In this world, it is difficult for a detective who can't tell a story to become a detective.

However, after drinking half a cup of tea, her throat was almost moist, but Jiang Xia still didn't ask questions according to her script.

Jiang Xia actually failed to discover Yumi's careful thoughts.

If it were usual, he might have noticed.

But now, in Jiang Xia's heart, he can only pretend to be a ghost on his uncle's leg.

You have to go through the process quickly and get your hands on the stubborn leg-picking god......

Halfway through Yumi's speech, Jiang Xia already understood what kind of case this was.

Now, he just wants to fast-forward to arrest the uncle and pick up the ghost himself.

So Gunda Yumi stopped, and Jiang Xia waited politely for a while, but couldn't wait for the following.

I couldn't help but help her finish the rest of the words:

"Charred corpses are not easy to determine exactly when they died. I'm afraid that the gentleman died while you were following him, and was replaced by someone else like him. As for the pictures you took when you followed him......"

When Ikumi Gunda was telling the story just now, she brought over a dozen photos and spread them out on the coffee table, and the photos were marked with the date.

Jiang Xia took out a few, put them in front of his eyes, and pointed them one by one:

"On Mondays and Tuesdays, the target is still playing golf, eating, and writing with his right hand. But by Wednesday, he was suddenly left-handed. In other words, he probably died on Tuesday night, and Abe Yutaka only left on Wednesday, and that alibi is not actually valid. ”

Ikumi Yarita: "......"

She raised her teacup slightly, masking her slightly stiff expression.

She's just a little sold...... The lines were robbed?!

How can a young detective be like this now......

Yumi Gunda put down the teacup and continued her previous brain supplement: "You really witnessed the scene of the crime!" ”

"I didn't!" When Jiang Xia said this, he actually felt a little weak.

Strictly speaking, he did "witness" it while reading the comics.

But this kind of thing must not be said.

Jiang Xia also clicked the teacup on the table, and secretly used a trick to lead the water to the east, attacking as defense:

"If you immediately notice that something is wrong on the third day, even if you don't have time to save someone, you can find some evidence that the killer hasn't had time to deal with - with a little care, it's not hard to tell the difference between left and right."

Yumi Gunda: "......" She also became weak.

The reason why Yutaka Abe entrusted her to follow the bearded man was "worried that her friend would be in danger or take her own life."

So when Ikumi Gunda stalked, in the face of a target with thick hair that was too inconsistent with her aesthetics, her attention was focused on the matter of "people are alive", and she did not observe carefully.

This is also a common problem among the detectives of this world.

- Before the murder, one by one was a little sluggish.

It is not until someone dies that their detective powers can be fully awakened.

Yumi Gunda was suddenly exposed to her shortcomings, and her face was a little unbearable.

She stroked her curly hair irritably, a little embarrassed, and said to Jiang Xia's questioning, you can do it!

…… Then Jiang Xia did what he did, and he went on.

He borrowed the photographs, along with other related physical evidence, and brought them back to the Amuro Detective Agency.

If it doesn't work, it has to work.

- The kind of soul on Abe's legs, although weak, is extremely persistent.

If the murderer who killed them was not punished, then even if Jiang Xia tore off the leg-splitting god, it would only break down and turn into a useless waste soul.

Of course, Jiang Xia would not do such a thing that harmed his soul and was not beneficial to himself.

He borrowed the information from Ikumi Gunda, and he planned to find evidence by himself first, and send Abe Yutaka to prison, so that the wish of the Leg-Pick-up God could be fulfilled and he could let go of it.

This is PlanA.

And if Plan A doesn't work, Jiangxia has a PlanB

- Put a sack and beat Yutaka Abe until he can pull Shikijin off his legs.

However, now, I don't know if it's providence, Amuro Toru has made a rare appearance in the office.

And before Jiang Xia could hint at it, he noticed the photo that Jiang Xia put on the desk.

……

Toru Amuro is looking at the photo.

Jiang Xia was looking at Amuro.

A few big words are reflected in the clear eyes - PlanC.
