Chi Fei arrived at the entrance outside late and opened the shoe cabinet.
What he found strange was that the place was cleaned too clean.
Nishimura Sachiko's chair still showed signs of being pulled out and stood up, but there were no signs of the other side's chair. In other words, the other side's chair was restored after committing the crime.
And there are no traces of his time on the floor or on the chair...
Only those who have received professional training, wear gloves and hats, and clean up the scene afterwards, can they leave no personal traces at all and be able to compete with the organized home invasion and search operations.
Moreover, this person also has obsessive-compulsive disorder, so he must pull up his chair.
It’s just that her boyfriend came here for a date dressed like this and didn’t touch any food. Didn’t Sachiko Nishimura find it strange?
There were no signs of struggle at the scene, indicating that Sachiko Nishimura had no defense at all.
It is not ruled out that Nishimura Sachiko knew that her boyfriend was engaged in a special job, or that the boyfriend pretended that he had an illness and could not have a hair dryer.
But there are no traces of wiping...
Even if the other party wears gloves, as long as the gloves touch the surface of those things, the fingerprints left by Sachiko Nishimura may be wiped off, leaving traces of wiping. There is not even a trace of wiping, which he cannot do.
In this world, there is probably only a soul like Xiaomei who can "pick up something and hit someone to death without leaving any traces of contact." It is because of this that he suspects that Sachiko Nishimura's boyfriend does not exist at all.
This is also easy to verify, just look at the shoe cabinet.
In Japan, it is customary in Japan to change into slippers when visiting a guest. Unless you force your way in, you will change your shoes.
The shoe cabinet at the entrance often hides many clues.
Haiyuan Ai followed Chi Fei to the entrance late and watched Chi Fei Chi open the shoe cabinet. After seeing the situation in the shoe cabinet, he couldn't help but froze for a moment. He knelt down and watched Chi Fei Chi put on gloves and check the slippers one by one.
.
The slippers in the shoe cabinet are all of the same style, with a full range of sizes and sizes. There are small sizes for children, medium sizes for women, and larger slippers for male guests or
For female customers with larger feet, there will be more than one pair of each size.
This is very common in Japan. Because disposable slippers are uncomfortable, providing them to guests would seem careless, and throwing them away after wearing them once is too luxurious. Therefore, many slippers are prepared at home. The styles are unisex, and because slippers are larger, they are smaller.
It doesn't matter at all, just prepare slippers that can be worn by ordinary children, men, and women.
Because of the materials used for slippers, the contact area between the shoes and the soles of the feet will dent after being used for a long time. However, there are only two pairs of slippers in the shoe cabinet that show signs of regular use and cleaning, and the others are all new.
Chi Feichi put on gloves and took out all the slippers and looked at them. "There are no signs of use on the men's slippers, not even on one pair, and the same goes for the children's slippers. Three pairs of the women's slippers are used frequently, and two of them are used the most."
, the other pair is less, but it seems that all three pairs have been used for more than two months.”
"Is it the same as you, who cleans up all the slippers and throws them out every once in a while?" Haihara Ai guessed, "It's just that she only cleans the slippers used by guests, and keeps the slippers that she usually wears and has already worn.
accustomed."
She suspected that Chi Feichi had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The house is always cleaned, even the gaps must be cleaned thoroughly. The garbage bags in the trash can are never full. When I have time, I pack them up and go downstairs to throw them away. Even my slippers have to be completely changed every once in a while.
Including the slippers Chi Feichi wears himself, he often replaces them with new ones.
The slippers she was wearing the day she was just picked up by Chi Fei Chi had already been thrown away by Chi Fei Chi. Every once in a while, she would find that the slippers she wore that looked good last time were gone and replaced by a shoe cabinet.
new.
Although the styles are the same, there is nothing wrong with wearing new ones, but it still feels strange that I can't find the slippers I wore last time every time.
Especially the slippers she wore for the first time when she went to Chi Feichi's house. Such commemorative slippers were actually lost by Chi Feichi long ago, which made her somewhat depressed...
Wait a minute, Brother Fei Chi is not trying to prevent someone from inferring the number of visitors to his home based on the frequency of slippers being used, right?
But it’s not right either.
Who would secretly go to Chi Feichi’s house to look at slippers?
Even if someone is secretly investigating Chi Feichi, they go there openly every time. If they want to know the visitors and living habits of Chi Feichi's home, they just need to stay and monitor for a period of time, or ask people in nearby stores, which is better than sneaking into that place.
In an apartment building with strict security, it is much more convenient and simpler to go into Chi Feichi's home and check the shoe cabinet.
Anyway, Brother Chi either has obsessive-compulsive disorder and doesn’t like to see slippers that have been used for too long, or he has persecution delusion and always suspects that someone is trying to harm him...
Chi Feichi didn't know that Haiyuan Ai's thoughts were wandering so far, so he took out a pair of regular slippers and a pair of large slippers with no traces of use, and turned them to the side so that Haiyuan Ai could see the less conspicuous combination of letters and numbers on the sides of the slippers' soles.
"Except for children's slippers, the first four digits of the adult slippers are all the same."
Japan sells “hospitality slippers bags” in packages, which are available in large, medium and small sizes of the same style, so that customers don’t have to waste time choosing repeatedly when buying hospitality slippers.
Most of these "slippers bags" are already packed when they leave the factory. Except for children, the item numbers will be different, and adult slippers will be packed in the order of shipment.
Due to the different code sizes, the numbers of slippers of different sizes cannot be arranged completely in order, but the six-digit item number in English and the first four digits are exactly the same, which also means that it is the same batch of goods, and it is probably the same.
'Slipper bag'.
"Brother Chi, Haiyuan, what are you doing here?" Conan also found the entrance and saw Chi Feichi squatting in front of the shoe cabinet. Haiyuan Ai was also looking at it. He took a look into the shoe cabinet and was also stunned.
Then, "These slippers..."
"Even if the same batch of slippers with the same item number were not purchased on the same day, the purchase time will not be much different," Haibara Ai helped explain the situation, "but the women's slippers have been used frequently for more than two months, and the larger men's slippers
There are no traces of use like children's slippers, that's what Brother Fei Chi said after observing them."
Conan frowned and saw the gloves on Haiyuan Ai's hand. He reached out decisively and said, "Haiyuan, give me the gloves."
A detective put on gloves and turned over the slippers again to confirm that Chi Feichi's judgment was correct.
"If the murderer didn't take away the slippers he used after committing the crime, it means that there have been no male visitors here in three months." Conan stood up after checking, looked at the location of the restaurant, and said the result seriously, "Although
There was no pattern in the slippers and the last two item numbers. It was impossible to tell whether any of the slippers had been discarded. But considering that her boyfriend left no traces at all, not even wiping his fingerprints, it might be the one Miss Nishimura mentioned.
Boyfriends do not exist at all. For the sake of safety, some women who live alone will indeed create the illusion that there are men living with them at home, or that men often visit the home..."
"But is it necessary to buy such expensive beef and red wine to create an illusion?" Haihara Ai asked, "And she seemed really looking forward to it last night and very happy."
Conan was silent, frowning and thinking.
That's right, if it is to create an illusion, there is no need to spend so much money...
Chi Feichi thought about it for a moment. He couldn't remember what happened this time. It was probably not a complicated case, but he seemed to have seen this kind of behavior somewhere...
“Remember.”
“Miss you?” Conan looked up at Chi Feichi, vaguely feeling the clue.
"The owner of the butcher shop yesterday said that the 25th of every month seems to be the day when Miss Nishimura meets her boyfriend," Chi Feichi said. "It may be that the boyfriend who has broken up has mentioned the special day, or has
On an anniversary of my dead boyfriend, I once met a woman who always said she had a boyfriend. She would hold a birthday party for her boyfriend every year, but her boyfriend actually died several years ago.
."
"In this case, that person did not leave any traces, but Miss Nishimura was indeed happy and looking forward to it, which can be explained. It was a boyfriend who once existed but no longer exists, and she still deceived herself. Everyone
A well-prepared date was created on the 25th of the month, and the photos on the table were probably left by that man before," Haihara Ai took over, "If that's the case, I hope that man is dead.
Instead of leaving her behind."
Conan Half-Moon Eyes, "Hey...if we leave, we still have a chance to get back together, but if we die, there's really no hope. Anyway, it's better to leave, right?"
Hui Yuan Ai nodded indifferently, "That's right. Just think of it as if I didn't think it through well. Then I would add that if there is no possibility of that man coming back, then it would be better to die."
Conan: “……”
"Takagi!" Chiba Kazuno walked in quickly and walked to the restaurant, "I have confirmed this with her friends. She and this boyfriend seem to have been dating six months ago, but her boyfriend may be too
I'm busy, and it seems that I can only come here to see Miss Nishimura on the 25th of every month, so from the first to the 25th of every month, Miss Nishimura will look very happy from early in the morning, but what is her boyfriend like?
Her colleagues don’t know her last name.”
“So, there are absolutely zero clues.” Takagi Wataru had a headache.
Chiba Kazunobu continued, "I asked a nearby lady who was a good friend with her when she was in school, but I didn't get any clues. Even the lady she had made friends with recently, she didn't know.
…”
“Then do you want to ask again?” Conan followed to the door of the restaurant, pretending to have an innocent expression and a cute childish voice, “Go and ask Miss Nishimura if she had a boyfriend before!”
“Previous boyfriend?” Takagi Wataru was puzzled.
"because……"
Conan turned around and found that Chi Feichi and Haiyuan Ai had already gone outside to wait. He could only take over the explanation work alone, "Brother Chi found that the men's slippers in this family have no trace of use..."
After listening to Conan's explanation, Takagi Wataru asked the other police officers who searched the house to put all the slippers into evidence bags, and then he and Chiba Kazunobu led a group of people to Nishimura Sachiko's good friend's house to inquire about the situation.
