Although it was inconvenient to take notes now, Shuichi Akai quickly and skillfully compiled a list of suspects in his mind.
After a second, he suddenly fell silent: "..." How come the thickness of the list, which has been reduced with great effort these days, seems to be increasing again?
This thought circulated in his mind, and was quickly thrown aside by the ace agent: This time the FBI came to Tokyo with enough manpower, and his colleagues were idle. It is better to take action and investigate more. This is also a problem.
kind of experience.
And if you can catch clues about that person just by expending this labor, this deal can't be more cost-effective.
…
When there was an inexplicable chill behind the FBI members.
In the bank, the solving of the case continues.
——Although the lobby manager blamed everything on the mysterious person who did not exist, it seems that the detective did not think that the "heroic employee who acted bravely for justice" in front of him was innocent.
Jiang Xia: "That mobile phone is just one of the evidences. There is another thing."
He suddenly turned to Akai Shuichi: "Sir, I remember from the surveillance that the lobby manager once gave you half a bag of candy?"
Akai Shuichi pulled up his mask and nodded in a low-key manner.
After all, he is also a person who has experienced many cases. Before Jiang Xia could ask more questions, he had already taken out the half pack of uneaten candies and handed them over.
Jiang Xia didn't answer, but just looked back. The forensic police officer wearing gloves next to him immediately understood. He quickly stepped forward and took the pack of throat lozenges, put it into the evidence bag and looked at it carefully: "This is also physical evidence.
one?"
Jiang Xia responded: "Before the robbery happened, the lobby manager gave this bag of candy to this gentleman who had a cold. In addition..."
He took a few steps toward the most chaotic part of the scene and pointed to a bunch of wrapping paper among the messy tables and chairs: "This is something the gangsters threw away."
The Memu Police Department looked closer curiously: "This... wait, this seems to be the wrapping paper of the throat lozenges, and there is only half a pack?!"
Although I haven't fully figured out what happened, this coincidence has already given Memu Police Department a vague premonition.
Jiang Xia nodded: "This is a very common brand on the market. After a little observation, you can find that the half pack of candy given to the gentleman by the lobby manager and the half pack of candy wrappers in the gangster's pocket are actually the same brand - furthermore
, they might even be the same bag of candy."
He motioned to Officer Takagi to play back the surveillance video and said while watching:
"Judging from the surveillance video, the gangster had a rather unusual behavior. After coughing a few times, he began to reach into his pocket - this action should be to find the throat moisturizer he had put in his pocket before.
sugar.
"But maybe his throat is really uncomfortable, or maybe the process of waiting outside is too boring. The half pack of candy on him has been eaten long ago, and now he can only touch an empty pack.
"So he threw away the package irritably, and then suddenly thought of something, and then he sat on one of the stools with clothes on it and started to reach down and fumble around."
Officer Sato looked at Jiang Xia's paused surveillance video and suddenly discovered something: "This coat draped on the back of the chair... seems to be the lobby manager's clothes?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "The gangster's action was not to steal, but to find the lozenges in the lobby manager's pocket.
"From this point of view, since both parties had a slight cold, when they discussed the robbery plan together, they had shared this lozenge equally. The gangster remembered this, so he touched the lobby manager's pocket, but in addition
The half candy bar was given away by the lobby manager, so he couldn't find it."
Having said this, the fake detective raised his head and looked at the two pieces of wrapping paper: "The gaps in these two pieces of paper should just match each other. In addition, if they were careless when discussing the robbery plan and did not use gloves to cover their fingerprints..."
Akai Shuichi wearing gloves: "..."
He turned an angle nonchalantly and covered his hands: it was okay to wear gloves normally, but when connected with this case, this kind of dress seemed to become suspicious all of a sudden.
"Using various 'unexpected' cases to make the targets he targets look suspicious, and eventually lose the trust of the police bit by bit... It seems that this is one of the methods that guy likes to use." Shuichi Akai secretly warned, "That's Judy.
Learning from the past, I must be careful enough in similar matters."
"Speaking of which, I don't know what happened to the school festival over there. Judy's plan was indeed somewhat innovative, so I didn't object to it, but now, the protagonist in her script, the 'new doctor', is trapped here.
..." Akai Shuichi frowned as he thought about it.
…
When FBI quietly gets distracted.
Next to him, the lobby manager looked at the evidence before him and his lips trembled slightly: "Actually, this candy is that god..."
"Don't blame everything on the mysterious man!" Officer Sato couldn't stand it any longer. She interrupted, "You're giving away mobile phones and candy. What kind of mysterious man is this? Forget it, call him Santa Claus - listen to what you say.
, there is no logic at all.”
The Mumu Police Department skillfully played the red face: "If you confess now, you still have a chance to win leniency."
The lobby manager tried hard to make up a story, but seemed to have no inspiration for a moment. After being stared at by many policemen, and after a moment of stalemate, he finally lost the battle and fell back into the chair behind him.
"I really didn't expect that a detective can actually reconstruct the situation as if he saw it with his own eyes."
The lobby manager wiped his face with a wry smile: "Yes, just like what he said, when I was discussing the robbery plan with Saeki this morning, because he couldn't help coughing, it made my throat itchy, so he put that
He broke the candy bar and gave me half of it.
"We met in a casino. Although we have different professions, our life trajectories are surprisingly similar - at first we made small profits based on luck, then we couldn't help but invest a lot of money, and then we started to make small losses. In order to make up for the losses
After earning back the money we lost, we gradually gained our entire net worth.
"Of course, all the money didn't make it back into our pockets, and we became paupers from having assets. Then the casino owner introduced us to loan sharks - in order to pay off the huge interest, we had no choice but to plan this case.
"
Belmode listened and gradually fell silent: "..." According to Uzo's hobbies and habits, what you should do is not to get to know another casino victim, and then the three of you will go to the house of the casino owner or loan shark as a guest.
, did the casino owner die suddenly after being a guest?
"There is indeed something fishy about today's case." Bermod thought to himself, "This must have been specially adapted by Uzo to prevent me from sharing the stage with Xiaolan, or to frame Shuichi Akai.
