Now that things have come to this, it seems too deliberate to continue harvesting.
He had no choice but to look at Maya Hashimoto with regret, and then glanced at the other three suspects: "The murderer who killed the stalker was indeed among us - but not Mr. Hashimoto, but someone else.
"
Finally here! The police department seemed to have heard the call to get off work, and his spirits were shaken, but vaguely, he felt as if he had missed something.
After thinking for a moment, he slapped his palm and remembered: "By the way, the murder weapon! We searched all over here just now, but we couldn't find the murder weapon..." - In this case, even if the criminal is caught, if
Without strong enough physical evidence, I'm afraid it's impossible to convict.
Jiang Xia shook his head: "If we just search based on the characteristics of 'hard blunt weapon' as before, then no matter how many times we search, the result will still be the same - in fact, the murder weapon used tonight has already been changed by the murderer.
Hidden."
"The murder weapon has changed its form?" Officer Takagi thought of the many detective novels he had been reading recently, and it was like a small light bulb lit up in his mind, "I understand!"
"The murder weapon is actually a huge ice cube, and if you want to preserve this kind of thing, you must carry a container that can keep it warm..." He looked at the old fisherman and pointed confidently like a detective, "In other words,
The murderer is you, and you are the only one who brought a suitcase that can keep you warm!"
The old fishing man was stunned: "...Ah??"
Jiang Xia opened her mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Maya Hashimoto.
Maya Hashimoto: "..."
He didn't want to speak for the old guy who had just participated in the siege, but...
Maya Hashimoto posted: "No. Using ice to kill people will not leave any traces like in the novel - if the murder weapon is really it, then both the wound of the deceased and the surrounding ground will leave traces
Splashing ice cubes and the water marks left after they break."
"But now, there are no similar water stains at the crime scene, and the splattered blood of the deceased is also in a natural state. It can be seen that the murderer did not wipe the ground after the murder... Although we don't know how he killed, he must have used it.
Not what you call a big chunk of ice."
Officer Takagi: "..."
Jiang Xia took a sip of the juice that the front desk had just brought to her to moisten her throat, which was not very dry. She said happily: "The 'form change' I just mentioned does not mean that ice turns into water, but that the murderer turns hard objects into water."
It contained something that seemed unable to be used as a murder weapon, and then..."
"I understand!" This time it was replaced by Mumu Police Department, who had an idea, "It's the bottle of drink in the fitness couple's box..."
Huh? Wait, when he found the bottle of drink in the box, Jiang Xia seemed to have already said that it was not a murder weapon.
"..." Mu Mu Police Department braked an emergency brake and cleared his throat to avoid being embarrassed like his own subordinates. He changed his words as if nothing had happened: "Brother Jiang Xia, keep talking."
Jiang Xia nodded: "What the murderer used were very common items in daily life. That is, the coins that everyone has in their wallets and the socks that they wear when going out - just put together three hundred ten-yen coins.
Put them together, stuff them into socks, and tie the bag tightly...the original small coins can be transformed into 1.5 kilograms of copper balls."
"A copper block of this weight is enough to beat anyone's head to blood. And after the murder, just put these coins into the vending machine, and the murder weapon will naturally 'disappear'."
Jiang Xia glanced at the three suspects, and finally landed on the only thin man who was not suspected by the police: "Mr. Honma, that's it."
"?!" The thin man was startled. After a moment, he smiled with difficulty, "Well... your reasoning is indeed very reasonable, but how can you say it's me? Everyone has a pair of socks on their feet -
—For example, Mr. Hashimoto.”
Maya Hashimoto: "..." You!...Forget it, there's nothing to be angry about. Isn't this how life has been under Usa-sama's hands? He has almost gotten used to it.
Jiang Xia glanced at him with disappointment, then turned back to the thin man and said, "Your idea of hiding the weapon is very interesting, but unfortunately, you chose the wrong shoes today."
"shoe?"
The onlookers were startled, and all looked at the skinny man's feet.
——This social beast is wearing a pair of blue and white canvas shoes today. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with it. But now if you look closely, you can find that the upper of his left foot seems to be slightly higher than his right foot, and the whole shoe is bulging.
Quite unusual.
Jiang Xia: "When I first entered KTV, Mr. Honma once entered our box by mistake and was knocked down by Mr. Yu Yuan who was passing by. His shoes were still normal at that time.
"But now, his left foot is obviously 'fat' - this is because after the crime was over, after putting the coins into the vending machine, he put on the thick sock used to wrap the coins on his left foot
.
"That is to say, Mr. Honma first used the excuse to go to the bathroom tonight and entered the blind spot of the surveillance. There, he took out the 'copper hammer' he made, entered the deceased's box and killed him.
"Then he went to the vending machine next to the bathroom, put the coins in his socks into the vending machine, and bought them all into cigarettes. Then he put the empty socks on his feet, took the cigarettes with him, and returned home as if nothing had happened.
box."
While eating the fruit plate at the front desk, he listened to the reasoning with relish. As he listened, he suddenly felt something was wrong: "But my vending machine only sells single packs of cigarettes, but the cigarettes in this guest's box are a whole carton. This
…”
Jiang Xia: "So before entering the store, Mr. Honma prepared an empty cigarette box in advance.
“After buying a single pack of cigarettes from the vending machine, and returning to his box, he stuffed the cigarettes he just bought into the box one by one, pretending that they were a whole carton of cigarettes he had brought with him, in order to prevent others from getting too many cigarettes.
The single pack of cigarettes was associated with a 'vending machine', thus exposing his tactics.
"When Mr. Honma beat the deceased with the 'copper hammer', although he had a piece of clothing on top of him, given the condition of the deceased with a bloody head and head, it was inevitable that the 'copper hammer' would be stained with blood - just open the vending machine and check
If you look at the coins inside and look at Mr. Honma’s inflated shoe, it’s not difficult to find evidence.”
Compared with some other cases, the two cases tonight have solid evidence.
While the police department was relieved, they realized something slowly: "'Prepared cigarette box'... Could it be that this was not a murder of passion, but a long-planned murder? - But why did Mr. Honma do this?
Kill that stalker, could it be that even a grown man like him is being stalked and harassed?"
