Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 782 Haibara Ai: The Dirty Deeds of the Organization

   Thinking about the robbed gems, it is indeed a lot of wealth, and since his finances have been tight recently, Ojima Chihiro sighed, and had to focus on business first.

   She turned back and smiled at Jiang Xia: "Then let's take a look at the surveillance first."

   Sato Miwako: "..."

   Jiang Xia nodded and followed her to the back office.

   took two steps and found that Haibara Ai didn't keep up. There are many people here, and children can easily be stepped on when they run around. Jiang Xia turned around and waved at her: "Let's go."

Haibara Ai:"……"

   She looked at Jiang Xia, at the familiar cat in the picture of the store manager on the wall, and at Chihiro Oshima.

   Remembering the attitude of this female client towards Jiang Xia just now, her expression suddenly became a little terrified.

   When Jiang Xia shouted, Hui Yuanai trotted to follow him, hesitating to speak: "...What are you doing in your usual jobs that use cats?"

   Jiang Xia glanced at her suspiciously: "It's just helping the client find cats."

Haiyuan Ai: "..." No, no, no, she always felt that something was not right... Speaking of which, no matter how it was a detective agency, it was an agency opened by members of an organization after all... Jiang Xia's black skin Boss, what kind of strange business has been opened in private?

  …

   Although Haibara Ai was greatly shocked, she was a restrained person after all, and did not show too much abnormality.

  The manager of Oshima led a group into the office and played back the surveillance. She dragged the mouse with her slender hand, skipping some content with precision, and the picture was fixed on the robber's face.

   "That's the man," she said.

   The police who arrived first have watched the surveillance several times before, and didn't pay much attention to her fast-moving behavior.

   These later people did pay more attention to the kidnapper's appearance.

   Sato Miwako took a closer look: "Yes, it's Koda Masao... Why did he suddenly do such a thing?"

   "Find someone, just ask and you'll know."

Jiang Xia looked at the face on the surveillance screen that did not shy away from the camera, and felt that a client was fishing straight: "It shouldn't be difficult to find. Robbers usually cover their faces or deliberately avoid the cameras. But just now In the picture, when Koda Masao turned his eyes, he clearly saw where the surveillance was, but he didn't care at all..."

   Officer Sato frowned lightly: "That is to say, he is not afraid of being recognized by us?"

   After thinking for a moment, she sent a message to the patrolling police officers to let them pay attention to whether anyone turned himself in.

Next to   , Oshima Chihiro held an exquisite catalogue and drew a circle on it for Jiang Xia: "This, this, and this..." She circled a dozen gems, "All stolen."

   After a pause, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you know that robber?"

   "I just met not long ago..."

  …

   When Jiang Xia recounted his commission for the second time today.

   On the police side, there was news suddenly.

  ——This jewelry store is also equipped with surveillance at the entrance of the store.

  The motorcycle that Masao Koda was riding when he robbed was clearly photographed, including the license plate.

   Following this very obvious clue, the police successfully found Masao Koda's motorcycle near the rice flower station. It looked as if he had abandoned his motorcycle and took the tram instead—on the steps down to the platform, a dull-colored gem fell, one of the gems stolen from the jewelry store.

   Sato Miwako sighed: "Abandon the motorcycle and use the tram... It's impossible to give up looking for my sister and grab a sum of money to go back to my hometown in the countryside. There must be other purposes..."

   A group of detectives are still waiting to follow orders.

  Sato thinks things are not easy, but he can only follow the procedure first: "Set up cards at several interchange stations on the ring line, focus on the search, and move faster. Other stations will also send people over to take a look."

After   , she looked at Jiang Xia subconsciously.

  According to experience, if you encounter this kind of incomprehensible thing when solving a case, ask Jiang Xia, it is definitely right.

   Jiang Xia noticed her gaze, but her eyes fluttered and she didn't turn her head away. The store manager Kojima, who was stuck beside him, moved aside either intentionally or unintentionally, just blocking Sato Mikazu's sight.

   Officer Sato: "..."

   Not to mention a certain store manager who has too many slots... Is this little detective hiding something from her?

   She wanted to ask, but she felt that if Jiang Xia deliberately concealed it, he might not have said it if she asked... What the **** is going on?

   Sato Miwako touched her chin, and her first reaction was: Jiang Xia had already deduced the whereabouts of Koda Masao, and at this moment was trying to hide from the police and take the time to beat him up.

   But after thinking about it, he felt that although Jiang Xia likes to beat prisoners, he usually beats him only when he happens to bump into him, and he doesn't deliberately hide it from the police.

   There should be something else...

   Sato Miwako reorganized the cause and effect of the incident, and quickly thought about something.

  Conan discovered the brief interaction between Jiang Xia and Officer Sato, and had a vague guess in his heart.

  ——Judging from Koda Masao's behavior, his search for Koda Sanae was definitely from the heart, and he was very motivated.

   At a time like this, I suddenly ran to rob a jewelry store... I always felt that there might be some connection between the two things.

  ... He didn't cover his face or avoid the camera when he stole the gem, which shows that Masao Koda didn't plan to escape punishment, and he didn't mind being caught because of it. The same goes for the motorcycle that didn't hide its number plate, plus the gem that "unfortunately" fell on the platform steps.

   These actions are not so much "fleeing", but more like deliberately directing the police's attention to the rice flower station, creating the illusion that Koda Masao is "fearing crime and absconding".

   In fact, starting from Meika Station, in addition to transferring to other stations, you can actually go to another place - Cupado Town, the home of Yoshiichi Mianguan.

  “…”

   Combining several things, Conan felt that he might have understood Koda Masao's plan-he wanted to bury the gem he grabbed in the yard of Mian Guanyi's family. Later, if the police wanted to search the stolen goods, they had to open the courtyard of Mian Guanyi's family. If there is a body buried in the yard, it will definitely be exposed at that time.

  Thinking of this, Conan looked at Officer Sato who was thinking, hesitated for a while, and said nothing.

  ...The most troublesome "armed robbery" has happened now.

  In this case, plus the charge of "slipping into other people's yard to bury gems" is actually irrelevant.

Although this is not fair to Yoshiichi Mianguan, but from another perspective, if Masao Koda really has a mental disorder because of the disappearance of his sister, and then becomes a stalker who stalks Yoshiichi Mianguan for a long time, then Digging open the yard to let him see the situation inside, although he was a little embarrassed, it was also one of the ways to get rid of this situation.

   Jiang Xia probably realized this, so he didn't say anything.

  …

at the same time.

   Okiya Subaru and the three children of the Detective Boys waved their hands and watched them leave.

  Then straightened up, secretly relieved.
