To be honest, for "proof" cases, Tang Ze does not need to rely on his super sense of smell and insight to find evidence and clues in reality to confirm the target.
He was able to confirm that the other party was the prisoner just by relying on "Ke Xue".
After all, there was only one suspect, and the other party tried his best to prove his innocence and talked about his alibi.
To Tangze, this kind of prisoner is just a food delivery person, and all the other party's cover-ups are invisible to him.
Of course, it is one thing to lock down a target, but in reality, you still need tangible evidence to catch a criminal.
And Sonoko's casual words just now were like clues in a chaotic puzzle. Tang Ze immediately understood the shape of the puzzle and put together all the messy clues.
Everything is clear, what's left is how to break the situation and expose this conspiracy.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Just as Tang Ze and the two were deep in thought, Memu suddenly received a call: "Did you find Miss Wei Wan's fingerprints on the broken glass?"
"If that's the case, can my suspicion be cleared?"
After Zhuangtang Weijia heard what Officer Memu said, she said, "Then can I leave now? It's already time..."
As Zhuangtang Weijia spoke, she opened her sleeves to look at the watch on her wrist, but her face suddenly changed at the next moment, but she was quickly calmed down by the other party.
She reached out and took out her phone and took a look at it before saying, "It's getting late after all."
"This... the situation at the company has not been investigated clearly. Please wait a moment, Miss Zhuangtang."
Officer Megure didn't want to let the other party leave. After all, the other party was now the only suspect in the case. If possible, he would still try to let the other party stay.
And while Memu was delaying the truth from the other party, Tang Ze was thinking about the scene just now in his mind.
The other party's movements and expressions all fell into Tang Ze's eyes, and he knew how to crack this trick.
Under Conan's urging gaze, Karasawa took out his cell phone and dialed Takagi's number and explained his purpose.
"Looking for a particularly clean spot in the washroom stall?"
After answering the phone and hearing what Karasawa said, Takagi entered the cubicle and took a look: "I don't think there is a place you mentioned in the bathroom where the body was found..."
After all, it is a public restroom, no matter how clean it is, it cannot be like home. However, because it was Tang Ze's instructions, Takagi checked it carefully and replied to Tang Ze again.
"Then have you seen the other compartments?" Tang Ze asked.
"No, we just moved the body out and haven't had time to check it yet." Hearing this, Takagi took his cell phone and walked to the cubicle next to him.
"Ah! Yes!"
After seeing the situation in the compartment next to the corpse, Takagi said "Ah" and quickly walked to the toilet paper box next to the toilet and observed carefully: "Yes, the lid of the toilet paper box is very clean."
"Really?" A smile appeared on Tang Ze's lips: "I understand."
On the other side, Zhuangtang Weijia was not easily persuaded. Faced with Officer Mumu's words, Zhuangtang Weijia looked dissatisfied and said:
"Since Wei Huang's fingerprints have been found on the cup, it proves that the goth loli who went to the cafe is not me pretending to be, but Wei Huang himself!
If I were really a prisoner, then I would have to call her to Yogi Park, which is half an hour away by car, when she went to the bathroom.
This is not magic. How could I cross half an hour's journey and arrive at the scheduled coffee shop ten minutes later?
If there is no legitimate reason, please let me leave. Now that Wei is dead, I have to notify her parents and other friends as soon as possible."
"This..." Faced with Zhuangtang Weijia's well-founded rebuttal, Officer Mumu looked hesitant and embarrassed.
He always felt that something was not right about the situation, but there was no evidence to keep the other party.
Thinking of Mu Mu's eyes asking for help from Tang Ze, he couldn't help but feel relieved when he found that the other party nodded towards him.
"Miss Zhuangtang, in fact, with the investigation, there are still some doubts about the case that have not been resolved, so I can only trouble you to stay here temporarily."
Tang Ze came to Zhuangtang Weijia and smiled apologetically: "Of course we can understand your anxiety.
But don't worry, just leave it to our police to notify Kuse Mizu's parents about their daughter's death.
After all, notifying the victim’s family is part of our job.”
"Not only did I inform Kuse's parents of their death, I also had to help with the subsequent funeral arrangements with my friends. This is why I left in a hurry!"
Zhuangtang Weijia said impatiently: "In addition, what are the doubts you mentioned? What happened to the cup?"
"The news just came from the Forensic Department. Miss Kuse's fingerprints were detected on the glass, which proves that the other party must have used the cup."
Facing the impatient Zhuangtang Weijia, Tang Ze's expression remained as usual: "But when I picked out the broken pieces of the cup before, I found that there were no traces of lipstick on the cup.
Ms. Kuse is dressed up like a gothic lolita and has very dark lipstick on her mouth. If she drinks water, there should be lipstick marks on the edges."
"About this, you are not a woman, so you may not know about this criminal."
Zhuangtang Weijia smiled and said: "As a lady, it is polite to wipe off the lipstick marks on the rim of the cup with your hands after drinking water."
"But there are no traces of fingers wiping the cup rim."
Tang Ze said lightly: "In other words, the forensic examiner did not detect any traces of lipstick on the cup. This cannot be wiped clean with hands and water."
When the forensic examiner called Officer Megure just now, the other party only mentioned the fingerprints, but did not mention the lipstick at all. This is enough to explain the problem.
If the ingredients of the lipstick are detected, the forensic personnel will definitely report it. Their job is to inform the criminal of the detected ingredients.
They will not selectively report tested ingredients based on their own subjectivity.
"It's entirely possible that Wei Wan reached out and moved the cup to the side in order to read the menu and prevent it from breaking!"
Zhuangtang Weijia retorted: "In fact, I knocked over the cup because of my carelessness, right?"
"Hey~ That sister is really lucky~"
At this moment, Conan, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke with a look of innocence on his face.
And his words also made Zhuangtang Weijia look stunned. She didn't know why this boy suddenly said such words: "Lucky?"
"Because if the cup hadn't been broken, then when the criminal discovered the murder and called you to the murder scene, the cup would have been cleared away by the clerk because you left, right?"
With an innocent expression of harmlessness, Conan's words were like the most vicious backstab, and like the devil's whisper telling the truth: "If this is the case, then after the clerk cleans it, the fingerprints will definitely be
Disappeared?
And I'm very curious, sister, why do you want to sit in the seat of Goethe's Lolita sister?
If two people make an appointment to meet, usually they will sit across from the other person, right?
If you were sitting across from me, you wouldn't destroy that evidence."
"Wha, what!" Zhuangtang Weijia heard Conan's soul-like torture and subconsciously took a step back, looking at Conan with fear: "Who are you?"
"My disciple."
Just when Conan was about to show his "war-god smile" and say that he was a detective, Karasawa's quick answer made Conan instantly break through.
'Who is your disciple!'
Conan gasped in anger. Just when he was about to "pretend", he was interrupted, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
But Xiaolan was watching from the side. Faced with this situation, Conan could only endure it and tried his best to open his mouth with a smile: "Yes, I am a disciple of the "famous criminal" Tangze Criminal!"
"You, you are that...Kansawa Genichi..." Zhuangtang Weika seemed to have seen some terrifying monster, looking at Karasawa in front of him and breaking out in cold sweat.
"it's me."
Tang Ze smiled slightly and said: "Then I will give you Miss Zhuangtang one last chance to surrender.
Now I can still count you surrendering, but if you wait until I finish reasoning, it will be too late."
There was no emotion in Tangze's words, but it was this calmness that revealed extremely strong self-confidence, which made Zhuang Tangweijia subconsciously take a step back.
"Do not make jokes!"
After Zhuangtang Weijia came to his senses, he immediately realized that he should not have a guilty reaction, and immediately took a step forward, looked at Tang Ze and said sternly: "I am not a prisoner, why do you say that!
Is this considered a threat and a confession? Even if you are a "criminal", I will still complain to the Metropolitan Police Department!"
"Hey...why is it always like this?"
Seeing Zhuangtang Weijia's expression of being frightened to death but still refusing to plead guilty, Tang Ze helplessly shook his head.
These prisoners are always like this. They clearly feel that something is wrong, but they still refuse to plead guilty. This is a typical example of "no tears until the coffin is seen".
But this is the tragedy of criminals. After committing a crime, they don’t want to be caught and ruin their future, so they resist and refuse to plead guilty.
But the cruel thing is that their resistance is completely in vain and will only make them miss the opportunity to alleviate their crimes and make them face despair.
But Tang Ze will not sympathize with them because they are criminals and they have brought all this on themselves.
"In that case, let me talk about this case."
Ignoring the angry-looking Shodo Yuika, Karasawa spoke of the case calmly, "First of all, the deceased in the case, Ms. Hisase Mizuta, was strangled in a bathroom stall in Yogi Park.
Then you went directly to the coffee shop to create a perfect alibi."
"That's nonsense! It would take half an hour to drive from Yogi Park to that cafe in Harajuku and back!"
Zhuangtang Weijia roared angrily, like an enraged beast, but her anger and irritability were just to cover up her guilty conscience: "Tell me! How am I going to kill Wei Wan in that bathroom, and then within ten minutes?"
Come to the coffee shop!"
Even though she was looking at him with an angry face at this moment, Tang Ze still saw the fear hidden behind the anger.
He just looked at her, and those calm eyes looked like a deep pool to Zhuang Tang Weijia, which made her afraid.
"Indeed, there is really no way to kill Miss Mitsu after she goes to the restroom in Yogi Park."
Tangze nodded, and then changed his voice and said: "But, what if the time you killed Miss Weiwan was before Miss Weiwan went to that coffee shop?
In that case, there will be plenty of time."
"Before Miss Weiwan..." After hearing Karasawa's words, Officer Megure turned to look at Shodo Weika: "So, what appeared in that cafe was indeed..."
"That's right, I think Officer Memu should have noticed some clues after seeing Miss Weiwan's body."
Tangze nodded and said, "Miss Weiwan's Gothic lolita outfit is very gorgeous in workmanship, and the makeup on her face is also very thick to match the outfit.
Regardless of whether it is a clerk in the cafe or a customer who happens to be in the store, they will only leave a very strong first impression on Miss Wei Wan.
But this overall impression is not the memory impression of her original appearance.
What’s more, I didn’t even expect that the woman dressed as a serious office worker who arrived at the coffee shop ten minutes later was the goth lolita.”
"What the hell are you talking about!"
Zhuangtang Weijia said sternly: "It seems that her fingerprints have not been wiped on the water glass in the cafe!"
"Of course fingerprints can be detected on that cup."
Tang Ze said calmly: "Because that cup was the water cup you stole from the coffee room in advance and placed it on the seat."
Although Tangze's speculation was groundless, Zhuangtang Weijia's expression suddenly changed after hearing his words.
"I think you filled the drink with that cup and entertained Miss Weiwan at your home so that her fingerprints could get on it."
Although there was no basis for what he said, the calmness in Karasawa's words was as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes: "Then when you entered the cafe pretending to be a goth lolita at the beginning.
Exchange the cup the clerk took with the cup you prepared that is stained with Ms. Wei's fingerprints.
In this way, your preliminary layout is completed.
Afterwards, you only need to ask the store clerk about the location of the restroom to deepen the other person's impression, and then go to the restroom to change into your usual clothes and enter the store.
After that, you deliberately sat in the previous seat, pretending to accidentally break the cup and let the water flow out.
In this way, you can naturally wipe away the traces of where you sat down ten minutes ago, as well as the fingerprints of Ms. Wei Wan that should be on the menu.
And the broken water glass became the only evidence you left behind.
Even if you deliberately touched the cup before the clerk put it away in advance, it wouldn't be surprising if your fingerprints were stained on the cup."
After hearing Tangze's reasoning, Zhuangtang Weika's face turned pale, because all this completely corresponded to her previous actions.
She even regrets now that she did not seize the opportunity given by the other party to surrender.
But it's too late now, there's only one way she can go.
