Chapter 210 Brother Kamiya is not present?
The sudden fall startled Conan and Hattori Heiji, but they reacted immediately and calmly analyzed the body. (To be honest, it is quite unbelievable that the body was still intact after falling from such a high building.)
"Died on the spot." Hattori Heiji said in a deep voice.
"But where did he fall from?" Conan looked up and didn't find anything unusual.
"I think he fell from the 21st floor." Judy suddenly said.
Hattori Heiji looked at her in surprise: "How did you know?"
Judy explained, "I know him. He's Mr. Takai, who lives next door to me."
"What?" Xia Tian, who was frightened half to death by the falling man, heard her boyfriend's name and was a little unbelievable. She ran over in panic to take a look, and her face turned pale. She knelt on the ground with her hands covering her face in pain, "How could this happen?"
Hattori Heiji glanced at the woman and asked, "After you and the two men left just now, did Mr. Takai stay in the room?"
Xia Tian sobbed a few more times, raised his head and answered with tears in his eyes: "Yes, he was drunk and sleeping in bed. But I don't understand why he wanted to commit suicide?"
When they heard Xia Tian say with certainty that Takai committed suicide, the two detectives and an FBI agent were shocked.
Judy asked in confusion, "Why? How do you know Mr. Takai committed suicide? He could have been pushed down by someone in the room?"
"Of course I know!" Xia Tian's voice was a little hysterical. "He was the only one in the room at the time. I locked the door when I left. Besides, he was sleeping in the bedroom and couldn't hear the doorbell."
"If this isn't suicide, then what is?"
Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other.
Conan said: "Not necessarily!"
Xia Tian looked at Conan in surprise.
Conan held up the phone he had just picked up through his handkerchief and said, "Before Mr. Takai fell, he was talking on the phone with a man named Mr. Kawakami, and one minute before that, he also read a text message from Mr. Nakamachi."
"Besides that," Hattori Heiji continued, "before Mr. Takai fell from the building, you were still taking pictures under this dark building at night. Don't you think it's suspicious?"
Xia Tian was stunned and defended himself by saying, "I took the photo for my friend."
Hattori Heiji certainly wouldn't believe her words so easily. He put his hands in his pockets and said, "Anyway, wait until the police and the two people who contacted Mr. Takai arrive, then you can explain it to the police slowly."
···
Soon, the hardworking Inspector Megure arrived at the scene with his men.
It was late at night and I thought there would be no cases today. Just as I was about to go home, I received a call from the police.
Inspector Megure first glanced around the scene, but did not see the familiar figure.
If there is no detective present, then it shouldn't be a murder case, right? Ao Lu is still waiting for me at home! (Ao Lu is Megure Midori, the wife of Inspector Megure. She was mentioned in Chapter 90. Hey.)
After inspecting and handling the scene downstairs, Inspector Megure looked at Natsuta, as well as Nakamachi and Kawakami who had rushed over after receiving the call.
He first asked Xia Tian: "So, you took pictures here to show your friends the exterior of your boyfriend's apartment, right?"
Xia Tian covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and sobbed, "Yes, this is my first time here today. I wanted to go back to the room right after taking pictures, but suddenly someone fell down, and it turned out to be Gao Jing, wuwuwu..."
Inspector Megure sighed, frowned slightly and asked, "However, you left Mr. Takai's room at around 5 o'clock, and he fell from the building at 6 o'clock. What were you doing in the hour in between? You weren't taking pictures here the whole time, were you?"
Xia Tian shook his head and explained, "No, before I took the photo, I used Takai's car to send them back home. They drank a lot of alcohol just like Takai."
Inspector Megure nodded, walked up to Kawakami and Nakamachi and asked, "So, what is your relationship with the deceased?"
Kawakami seemed to be still drunk, his face was red and he was swaying from side to side.
Nakamachi took the initiative to explain, "We are employees of the same company. We held a small celebration party at Section Chief Takai's home to celebrate his promotion to manager, and we have been drinking since noon."
"I was planning to go back later, but Section Chief Takai was really drunk..."
Kawakami burped and interrupted, "Then, once he got drunk, he started to taunt us, saying that if we wanted to get ahead, we had to disregard relationships, and that people like us would never be able to get ahead of him in our lifetime."
"Wow, he said something like that." Inspector Megure said thoughtfully.
"Yes," Nakamachi said awkwardly, "So after I got home, I sent a message to my class, hoping that he could be considerate of his subordinates. Otherwise, Hiraya-senpai will be a lesson for him."
"Senior Hiraya?" Takagi Wataru, who was standing behind Inspector Megure and taking notes, heard a new name and asked subconsciously.
Seeing that Nakamachi looked very unhappy, Kawakami took the initiative to explain: "Hiraya Junyo, who committed suicide last month, was also an employee of our company. She was a senior in Nakamachi's former high school, and also happened to be a junior of Takai and I in college."
He looked at Xia Tian again: "Come to think of it, Pingwu entered the company at the same time as you, Xia Tian, right?"
Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said yes.
"I see," Inspector Megure nodded slightly, "Why did that Hiraya commit suicide?"
Mayor Nakamachi sighed and said, "She committed suicide because she couldn't stand the pressure at work. It might be because Section Chief Takai once said that people with poor work performance would be fired. In order to keep the job, she worked very hard, and finally couldn't stand it anymore..."
Kawakami said angrily: "But Takai seemed to be joking and forgot what he said."
Kawakami said that after returning home, he called Takai and angrily accused him of being a villain who climbed to the top by stepping on the corpses of others and cursed him.
But unexpectedly, he received a call saying that Gao Jing fell from the building and died.
"Mr. Policeman, although I scolded him, I didn't tell him to die immediately. What I said was all true. Even if he committed suicide by jumping off the building because he couldn't bear it anymore, it can't be considered murder, right?"
Inspector Megure frowned at the smell of alcohol coming out of Kawakami's mouth and said, "That's true."
"That's fine, let me go back quickly. I don't want to say the same thing for the third time." Kawakami said with a headache.
Inspector Megure was stunned: "The third time?"
Nakamachi explained: "It's like this. Before the police came, we had already been asked the same question by a blonde foreign woman, a dark-skinned teenager, and a little boy wearing glasses."
"Huh? Are you talking about..." Inspector Megure was stunned.
The crime scene, and this familiar face, why does it feel like he is an old acquaintance? If he remembered correctly, the dark-skinned boy was Hattori Heiji, right?
He is also a detective...
From Xia Tian, we learned that the three of them had already obtained the key from her and went to Takai's house.
Inspector Megure hurriedly led his men to the scene and saw Conan, Hattori Heiji and Judy standing at the door of Takai's house, all three of them looking thoughtful.
Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately you didn't go in. Well, leave the rest to us, the police."
Hattori Heiji said dissatisfiedly: "You are too slow, we have investigated everything clearly."
Judy raised the camera in her hand and said with a smile: "I took a lot of photos!"
Inspector Megure was speechless. How could these people just...
