  Chapter 1496 1496【Wanted Okiya Subaru】Ask for a monthly pass (づど)

   Inspector Yasa glanced at his subordinates.

  The young subordinate knew it, and leaned into his ear to explain in a low voice: "'Gothic Lolita' is a kind of clothing that has become popular recently, and the style of painting is rather strange—it is the kind of clothes worn by the deceased."

  Another policewoman heard it and corrected her: "Gothic **** costumes have been popular for a long time, but they are not very popular here, so people of Inspector Assa's age don't know about it."

   Inspector Asaph, who is over forty years old: "..."

  Hmph, what do you mean by "a person of this age", forty is clearly in the prime of life!

  He was too lazy to argue with his subordinates, and continued to do business, You Sen stared at the two ice cream robbers: "The deceased indeed dressed like this, so what?"

   One of the ice cream robbers remembered something, rubbed his stomach, and his face was not very good:

  “As we got around, the Asian guy just came out of the public toilet. Before him, the lady in the gothic **** outfit just came out of the toilet.

"The guy looked at her a few times, then he touched his neck and the expression on his face became very scary - we didn't dare to look again and left quickly... believe me, that guy is definitely violent! It must be him I caught up with that lady, took her back to the public restroom, and finally killed her!"

  Inspector Asaph: "...violent tendencies?"

  He recalled the appearance of the deceased—except for the fatal strangle mark on her neck, she was not injured or beaten. That doesn't quite fit the picture that the ice cream bandits are emphasizing.

  However, in terms of time...

  Inspector Yasa: "When did you see them in the public toilet?"

   The ice cream robbers hesitated: "I don't remember. Our, uh, our jobs are relatively free, and we don't really care about the time. I just remember it was around noon."

   "Noon?" Inspector Asa's eyes sharpened - the time of death of the deceased was exactly between 12:30 and 1:30, so the Asian man was indeed very suspicious!

  In any case, this is an extremely important clue.

  Inspector Asa carefully questioned the characteristics of the "savage and terrifying Asian man", and asked his subordinates to organize manpower to find him as soon as possible—perhaps this will be an important step for him to defeat that little Tokyo detective.

  …

   Inspector Yasa finished manpower deployment and asked them to step up efforts to find the mysterious Asian man.

   Then he returned to the scene of the crime as if nothing had happened.

   Entering the public toilet, the corners of Inspector Yasa’s eyes twitched slightly—Jiang Xia was already familiar with his subordinates when he went out to chase someone.

  At this time, the foreign detectives were getting together with the police chief, and the police chief Anna flipped through her notebook and shared what the subordinates found with Jiang Xia:

   "The time of death was between 12:30 and 1:30. The victim was a Japanese resident who settled in London. His name was..."

  Jiang Xia looked at the string of Roman sounds, and helped her read out: "Kase Mihong."

   "That's right, that's the pronunciation!" Anna raised her elbow and bumped into him, praising him, "You're amazing!"

  Inspector Asaph: "..." What's so great about this? I didn't see you praise me when I spoke English!

  He walked over and interrupted the enthusiastic subordinates: "Stop mumbling, hurry up and get down to business!"

   After Sergeant Anna drove away, Inspector Asa turned his head and looked at the compartment where the corpse was.

  The evidence collection is not over yet, and the deceased remains the same, sitting on the toilet seat.

   Inspector Yasa glanced in, and his eyes quickly fell on the neck of the deceased. The dead young woman's complexion was pale. In contrast, the dark strangle marks on her neck were very conspicuous.

   Hui Yuanai also followed Jiang Xia around the scene. Although she has little interest in murder, she has nothing else to do at the moment.

   Soon, she also looked at the corpse.

  When her eyes fell on the scratches that were nearly perpendicular to the strangle marks, Haibara sighed softly: "It seems that she has struggled for a long time with such an obvious Yoshikawa line. She is still so young, how pitiful."

  Maolilan has gradually gotten used to the mature appearance of this little girl, so her attention was attracted by another familiar word: "Yoshikawa line?"

Conan nodded and explained: "When people are strangled, they will desperately pull the rope around the neck driven by the desire to survive, trying to pull it away. But at that time, the rope is often strangled very deeply and embedded in the flesh. .

"In order to grab the rope, the deceased scratched hard, which would inevitably break his own neck, and even scratched deep scars - Yoshikawa Chengichi, who was the head of the surveillance section of the Metropolitan Police Department during the Taisho period, first pointed out the significance of these scratches. So later the police called this the 'Yoshikawa Line'."

  Mao Lilan has gradually stopped being shocked by the amount of knowledge of the children, and said numbly: "...so it is like this."

  Inspector Asa couldn't help but twitched his eyes, and glanced at this side: "..." The children in Tokyo are too outrageous. What kind of education do they usually receive? Detectives start with first-grade pupils?

  ...Or, only the kid next to Jiang Xia was instilled with this skill?

  At this time, a voice suddenly floated from the side: "That's right, Superintendent."

   "Huh?" Inspector Yasa came back to his senses and followed the sound.

  Jiang Xia pointed to the deceased: "We seem to have seen this person at noon."

   "Meet her, or was it at noon?" Inspector Yasa was taken aback, "Are you sure?!"

  Jiang Xia nodded: "We drew a lottery and got a 50% discount coupon for a coffee shop in the west. When we went to rest and eat, she also went to the shop. It is nearly fifteen minutes away from here."

  Inspector Yasa did not expect Jiang Xia to be related to this case.

  The next moment, the "suspicious Asians" mentioned by the two ice cream robbers flashed in his mind, and he suddenly had some guesses, and looked at Jiang Xia suddenly.

  ... Then he silently looked away.

  Inspector Yasa: "..." No, according to the descriptions of the ice cream robbers, Jiang Xia and the "murderous Asian man" do not match the characteristics, and they should not be the same person.

  After reaching this conclusion, for a while, he didn't know whether to be lucky or regretful.

  Just thinking about it, Jiang Xia suddenly asked quietly: "What's wrong? Are you hiding something important?"

   "?!"

   Inspector Yasa was stunned, thinking of the clues he got from the ice cream robbers, he suddenly felt guilty.

  But soon, he tried to make himself more confident, and snorted: "I didn't hide anything!"

  ...This kind of confidentiality related to the case should not be casually disclosed to outsiders.

   And why feel guilty about a detective visiting for a tour? He's the native inspector!
