Jiang Xia approached the bathtub and took a look inside.
There was a shallow layer of water at the bottom of the bathtub. The young woman sitting in it had her clothes wet from bottom to top. However, her upper body far away from the water showed no trace of water splashing, as if she had not struggled in the bathtub before she died.
.
At this moment, a flash of silver flashed in the corner of his eye. Jiang Xia lowered her head and found a staple falling from the edge of the bathtub. It landed on the silver bathtub, which was very inconspicuous.
Jiang Xia pointed at this tiny piece of physical evidence: "It's a bit strange to have a staple in the bathroom. Let's take a photo of it. Maybe it will come in handy."
"Okay." Police Department Mu Mu stepped forward subconsciously, and then realized that he didn't need to do this alone. He cleared his throat and summoned a forensic officer, and at the same time poked his head from the corridor and took a look into the living room.
"Mr. Xun seems to have calmed down." He looked at Lawyer Xun who was no longer holding his head in discomfort, and came back to Jiang Xia and said, "Go and ask him about the situation?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Speaking of this matter, I am actually a witness."
The Mumu Police Department was startled: "Huh?"
Jiang Xia: "Lawyer Xun came to see me at noon because he suspected that his wife had cheated on her and wanted me to investigate the details."
Memu Police Department: "!"
He immediately called for Miwako Sato: "Go and check carefully about lawyer Tatsumi." Now the barrister is a high-priority suspect.
After all, according to experience, when someone dies at home, the probability of the other spouse committing a crime is not small. And when one of the spouses has a green head, the possibility of killing his wife or husband will skyrocket.
All in all, it’s a big problem!
…
"Our relationship as a couple does have some twists and turns."
In the living room, Lawyer Xun did not feel panic when he heard the police's questioning. He just said calmly and honestly: "I asked the detective to entrust me to investigate He Mei's affair, but I really love her.
"I understand that she is young and ignorant, and it is normal for her to make mistakes. So even if she really cheats, I will not kill people to solve the problem - not to mention that the 'cheating' thing is just some uneasy conjectures of mine. I
Now she is not even sure whether she has a lover, so how could she kill someone?"
It sounds quite sincere.
However, the files that have been approved by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for many years have made Megure's heart as cold as iron - it doesn't matter whether the suspect is guilty or not, everything can only depend on the detective and the evidence.
Jiang Xia always felt that something was missing. It took him a few seconds to remember that no one came to report to him this time, and Miwako Sato went to check on lawyer Tatsumi.
But it's not a big problem. The police department currently has many useful police officers.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Xia casually raised his hand and caught Officer Takagi who was passing by.
Takagi Wataru, who was busy investigating: "?"
Jiang Xia looked straight at the information in his arms.
Officer Takagi was busy today, and when he reminded him, he suddenly remembered.
He patted his forehead and realized later: "I didn't see you when I entered the crime scene. I thought you weren't here."
In the past, when Jiang Xia encountered a murder case, he called the police. After he came to the scene, he asked Jiang Xia to understand the simple situation and then planned the situation... But this time, he had just solved a case and turned around and saw a murder case next door. He rushed in first.
It's the police.
Officer Takagi did not meet the detective when he entered the scene, and the process was disrupted immediately.
Gao Mushe: "..." Sure enough, working overtime makes people smarter, and they actually forgot that Jiang Xia was behind them this time.
He patted his dizzy head, tried to cheer up, and showed Jiang Xia the information: "The autopsy results haven't been released yet, but judging from the general condition of the body, the time of death should be between 11:00 and 12:00 noon.
between."
Jiang Xia nodded thoughtfully: "It happens to be the time for us to discuss the commission in the hotel."
Maya Hashimoto suddenly realized: This is too coincidental. It was such a coincidence that I knew there was a conspiracy behind it at a glance.
It seems that his previous intuition was correct. Lawyer Xun was negotiating with the detective to help him make an alibi.
but……
"No wonder he was harping and talking about a simple matter for more than an hour. It turned out that he wanted to make the commission time overlap with the death time of the deceased, so that Jiang Xia and I would become his alibi.
"
Maya Hashimoto imitated Jiangxia and touched her chin, thinking secretly: "But his home is not too close to the hotel. After talking about the commission, he might not have time to rush home and kill people. In this case, wouldn't he really be absent?"
Proved?"
What script did the boss write this time?
Maya Hashimoto thought about it and couldn't help but be curious.
After a moment, he suddenly woke up and shuddered: "..." I can't think about it anymore, stop!
Being interested in Uzzo and his scripts was simply the beginning of disaster. Looking back on the past times when he tried to figure out Uzzo's scripts, he never succeeded.
Some detective assistants quietly started paddling.
Some suspects were very cooperative in describing the situation to the police.
Lawyer Xun sighed: "As you know, I am very busy at work. After consulting the client at noon, several of my clients came to the hotel to talk to me about their next appearance in court - I didn't leave the hotel suite until the evening and returned home.
Go home to pick up things. Unexpectedly, as soon as you entered the house, you found that the bathroom door was open, and inside..."
Speaking of this, he covered his face in pain, as if he didn't want to recall his wife's tragic death.
"So, you had an alibi for the whole process?" The police department at Memu also scratched his head in pain.
If Lawyer Xun is not the murderer, then they either have to start the investigation with robbery and murder, and look for a needle in a haystack to find a gangster who they don’t know exists. Or they have to suspect that the lover committed the murder and find the lover who also doesn’t know exists. In addition,
It could also be that Mrs. Xun offended her brothers, sisters, friends and colleagues... Thinking about this terrible workload, he was almost bald.
This forced him to use his brain. Under heavy pressure, the Mumu Police Department suddenly had an idea: "There has been no autopsy yet, and there is water under the body, so the rough estimate of the time of death may be biased to a certain extent -
- Just because you don’t have time to kill people after you talk about the commission doesn’t mean you don’t have time to kill before you talk about the commission.
"It's also possible that you killed Mrs. Xun at home before going to the hotel, and then quickly asked a detective to testify..."
Lawyer Xun interrupted: "Police officer, if you say someone else is the murderer without evidence, you will be prosecuted."
Memu Police Department: "!"
Oops, I was busy and forgot.
What's worse is that the person opposite is a lawyer.
Lawyer Xun smiled: "But you are also thinking about my wife, and I can understand it. As for your doubts, first of all, I have been in the hotel before asking Mr. Jiang Xia for entrustment. Many of my clients and hotel service staff have been worried about this matter."
Can prove.
"Besides, even if I returned home before that, it doesn't prove that I am the murderer - right, Mr. Hashimoto next to me?"
