Chapter 83: 30 years of professional dismantling
"Huh? Where, where, where! The editor-in-chief's eyes lit up, and he twisted his head to look around, eager to turn it out immediately.
As long as they can get this issue, not only do they not need to open the skylight, but they can also announce the news of the author's unfortunate death at the end of the article, stir up the topic, and then smooth out the transition and find another famous writer to fill in the gap...... This draft is really crucial.
The editor-in-chief and Bai Shu did not deliberately lower their voices, and the officers of the forensic department not far away looked at each other for a while, and hesitated to dig out an evidence bag, which indeed contained a pile of manuscripts.
The editor-in-chief saw it at a glance, and swooped over there like a torpedo, he leaned over to the bag and looked at it a few times, and shed tears of happiness with excitement, "That's right, this is the latest draft!" Imatake is really a dedicated and good writer! This one...... Can this be given to me? ”
The police officers didn't immediately agree, this pile of manuscripts was found in the locked suitcase of Imatake Zhi, and it may have nothing to do with the case, but it was something from the scene of the crime......
Henggou answered a phone call at this time, he had someone to check the whereabouts of the editor-in-chief, and it turned out that the editor-in-chief was really fine: the surveillance at the entrance of the editorial office clearly recorded the figure of him leaving, and almost when he went out, Imatake Zhi was already cold.
This alibi is much more powerful than Shi Jing Xuanyi's, and he should be innocent.
Seeing that the editor-in-chief was crying so badly, Henggou hesitated for a moment and said to one of the police officers, "Scan a copy for him, and keep the original." ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!" , The editor-in-chief kept his ears pricked up, and as soon as he heard him loosen his mouth, for fear that the police would regret it, he pulled the police officer who was pointed out and rushed to the door, and the fat figure seemed to turn into a ball of lightning, and he disappeared with a breath.
In this process, Shijing Xuanyi never interjected.
He was very anxious, but he also knew in his heart: the editor-in-chief who was in a hurry to get the manuscript of Tomo Imatake could not have the heart to read the work he had prepared slowly, and he had lost this opportunity again, and this ...... Blame that damn young man!
The culprit who made Shi Jingxuan grit his teeth with hatred, turned around at this time and looked at him as well.
After looking at each other for a moment, Bai Shu laughed, "Oh, you also have a manuscript, are you preparing to submit it?" Why didn't you go just now, was it shy? Alas, young people must be impulsive, but they can't be so timid all the time. ”
"You ......", Shi Jingxuan's expression was distorted, and he really wanted to punch him in the face.
But reason reminded him that it would not do him the slightest benefit to break out in conflict here: if he was detained by the police under this pretext, and slowly found any evidence, it would be a small loss.
So Shi Jingxuan vented his anger on Henggou as soon as he turned his head, and he said with a cold face, "Hey, it's time to let me go back, I'm very busy!" ”
"......", Henggou snorted, refusing to nod.
Whether it is the motive, or the existing clues, or even the strange behavior of Shijing Xuanyi himself, it is very concerning, this person is too suspicious.
…… It's a pity that before finding out the flaws in the photo, he did have an alibi.
Shi Jingxuan didn't get a reply, and he was not in the mood to play anymore, so he turned his head and walked out of the door, Henggou was in a hurry, grabbed him, and said that he still had something to say, and the two of them just pulled up at the door.
Conan was also in a hurry, but he didn't lose his measure, and this anxiety only further catalyzed his already fast thinking.
He closed his eyes, and the clues flashed through his mind one by one, connecting them at an amazing speed, and finally, after the scene of Shi Jingxuan's hot sweat but still insisting on not taking off his coat appeared in his mind, Conan suddenly realized.
He took a few steps to the table, found the photo with the word "Tian" as the background, and looked at the wrist of Shijing Xuanyi above.
…… And sure enough, it was!
"Straight ......", as soon as he turned around, well, the person slipped away as expected. The corner of Conan's eyes jumped, and he had to put up a criminal crosshair on Mori Kogoro again.
I'm sorry, Uncle Maori, but if you shoot the anesthetic needle in this pot, he should carry at least half of it!
The anesthetic needle flew out, and Mori Kogoro collapsed. He happened to be standing next to the table at this time to look at the photo, and at this moment he was suddenly numb, fainted, and sat down on the chair smoothly.
Conan adjusted his position and crouched down behind the chair himself, while shoving the rabbit hydrogen balloon that Ran hung from his waist under the stool to keep it out of the way.
During this time, the two people at the door have become more and more noisy.
Shi Jingxuan was stared at by a circle of police around him, and while shouting loudly to strengthen his courage, he subconsciously wanted to find a teammate for himself, "Isn't that photo enough to prove that I was at the festival at the time?!" Mr. Maori, as a detective, you have a position to criticize these incompetent policemen! "Hurry up! Cover me!
It's a pity that his teammates, the person is still the same person, but the controller has changed.
Maori Kogoro was very forced to hold his head with one hand at the moment, his face was slightly lowered, and he was sitting at the table like a thinker, and when he heard Shijing Xuanyi's words, "he" laughed, "Mr. Yokomi, don't take the murderer's quibbles to heart. ”
“…… Ah, thanks. Henggou was stunned. Isn't Mori Kogoro from Sekei Xuanichi's side, when did he change his position secretly?
Bai Shu happened to come out of the kitchen at this time, and seeing this, he skillfully patted Henggou's shoulder, "Teacher Maori just wanted to train us, so he deliberately said those wrong reasoning, so that we don't rely on him, and think more by ourselves, in fact, he must have seen through the murderer's tricks a long time ago!" ”
“…… Are you sure? Henggou rolled his dead fish eyes and stared at him suspiciously, this pair of masters and apprentices, to be honest, none of them is very reliable, especially this young man, just now he openly drank a hot drink at the crime scene, and he didn't have time to drink his saliva......
Conan is very good at seizing the opportunity to clear his name, and quickly answered, "Naoki is right, I did know it for a long time - the murderer is Mr. Imatake's roommate, Shijing Xuanichi!" ”
"According to eyewitnesses, after the gunshot, he immediately saw the murderer fleeing, that is, the murderer did not have the opportunity to mess up the room after the killing, and you are the only one who can arrange the room as a theft scene in advance!"
Henggou actually thinks the same way, but ......
He sneaked closer to Mori Kogoro and lowered his voice, "Mr. Mori, if you don't find out how that photo was taken first, he does have an alibi." ”
"It's actually quite a simple question." , Conan didn't lower his voice at all, and calmly pierced Shijing Xuanyi's trick, "The photo with the background of the word 'day' was not taken today, but should have been taken last year, and then he put away the camera and didn't take it out until tonight, so that Naoki who met by chance helped him shoot, and by the way, he acted as a witness for his alibi." ”
