Seeing the appraiser who was about to leave after working overtime, Tang Ze embarrassedly pulled him back again.
"There has just been a new development in the case. Please help me identify the fingerprints. The newly replaced buttons on the deceased's work clothes should have fingerprints. Please help me extract the fingerprints to see who changed them for the deceased."
Looking at his subordinates with grimaces, Tang Ze patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you will get overtime pay today, and I will give you another day off tomorrow."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
When the young appraiser heard this, his originally weeping face immediately seemed to be filled with blood, and he became steadfast in his assurance.
"OK, then I'll wait for the good news for you." Tang Ze warned: "Just put the comparison results on my desk."
"Okay, don't worry." The young appraiser responded and quickly concentrated on his work.
After handing over the work, Karasawa and Koshimi Nanatsuki said goodbye and went off to get off work.
It was already night now. After returning home, Karasawa took a shower, and then chatted with Ayako for a while. Karasawa, who was thinking about the identification results, quickly went to bed early.
Early the next morning, after Tangze made a simple breakfast, he came to the office early and saw the fingerprint identification report on the desktop.
"Mrs. Sawatari's fingerprints were collected on the inside of the button!?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who also came here early, said in disbelief after seeing the appraisal report.
"Because it is the inside of the button, and the button was completely attached to the clothes before identification, so this fingerprint can only be left by the person who sewed the button at that time."
Seeing this, Tang Ze smiled on his face: "In other words, the relationship between the two may not be what we imagined.
And do you still remember that little bit of green you found under Mrs. Sawatari’s fingernails?
The identification result showed that it was the residue of green peas. Do you think about the stomach residue in the autopsy report of the deceased Kenshin Origuchi?"
“Rice, chicken, lotus root and green peas!?”
Koshizui Nanatsuki's pupils shrank unconsciously when he said this: "Are you saying that the lunch eaten by Kenshin Origuchi might have been cooked by Mrs. Sawatari?"
"Probably."
Tangze nodded and said: "Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Zhezhi ate green peas, and Mrs. Sawatari happened to have green pea residue under her fingernails.
After all, when peeling peas, you have to remove the tendons one by one."
"That is to say, the relationship between the two of them is not between the victim and the perpetrator, but an intimate relationship where they eat home-cooked meals and chat together."
"If you put it that way, then the situation has indeed turned!"
Koshizui Nanatsuki said with excitement in his eyes: "Although Origuchi still has Mrs. Sawatari's money stained on his body, there is no way to prove that he stole it!
After all, if he is the prisoner, then given the close relationship between the two, there is no need for Origuchi to break the lock on the entrance if he wants to enter Mrs. Sawatari's room!
Because Mrs. Sawatari lives alone, she can easily get money when cooking or doing other things."
"That's right, so I think the murderer is someone else!" Tang Ze nodded.
"If the murderer deliberately created all this, then this prisoner is really terrible." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said.
"Probably not, I'm afraid it's just a coincidence."
Karasawa shook his head and said: "The situation at that time was too confusing, and all the clues revealed pointed to Origuchi Kenshin.
Even for us, after finding Mrs. Sawatari's residence, our first reaction was to commit a home invasion and robbery.
Even if you hadn't discovered the green peas under Mrs. Sawatari's fingernails, we wouldn't have made any breakthrough at all.
From this aspect, you have made a great contribution to this case."
Karasawa smiled and praised, while Nanatsuki Koshimizu on the side smiled sheepishly when he heard this: "It's too exaggerated, it's just a coincidence.
But I also understand what you mean, senior. You think the reason why this case has turned into the situation it is now is due to our subjective consciousness.
Because at that time, we all thought that Kenshin Origuchi had broken into the house and was discovered by Mrs. Sawatari, and a scuffle broke out between the two parties.
And this judgment affects everyone, whether it is criminal investigators or investigators collecting evidence, everyone thinks so, so the investigation and evidence collection are biased."
"Yes, that's it."
Karasawa nodded and said, "And there were too many and too obvious clues about Origuchi Kenshin in Mrs. Sawatari's mansion at that time.
When everyone is attracted by seemingly important clues, no one can know the truth hidden in the corner.
I plan to have Mrs. Sawatari's residence be thoroughly investigated again. If the culprit is really someone else, relevant clues will definitely be found."
Karasawa quickly issued an order for a re-investigation, asking the forensic investigators from Kesouyan to mainly look for traces of third parties at the crime scene.
Of course, this is a situation that is easy to say but extremely difficult to do. If it were easy, there would be no discoveries in the past.
For example, after all the checks on the hair in the entrance hall, no matching ex-convict was found in the DNA database.
In addition, no fingerprints were found, which proves that he was most likely wearing gloves when he committed the crime.
This is also normal. After all, if someone commits a burglary, they will prepare gloves in advance to avoid leaving fingerprints.
However, difficulty does not mean that there is no way.
With the advancement of technology, even glove fibers can be identified. If glove fibers can be found in the room, there will naturally be further proof.
In addition, according to Karasawa's reasoning, if Origuchi Kenshin's injuries were not caused by the scuffle with Mrs. Sawatari Yasue, then there is a high chance that it was caused by the real murderer.
And this is more reasonable.
After all, Mrs. Sawatari was older, and if she wanted to fight with an adult man, she really didn't have the upper hand in terms of strength. The chance that Origuchi Kenshin accidentally hit his head during the fight was low.
But if it is the real murderer, then the possibility of Origuchi Kenshin being injured is very high.
More importantly, if Kenshin Origuchi wanted to stop the murderer at that time, when the two had a scuffle, the fibers of the gloves worn by the murderer must have been attached to Kenshin Origuchi's clothes!
Although even if this is proven, it may only prove the existence of the murderer rather than directly find the murderer, but it is still a breakthrough.
In addition to investigating Origuchi Kenshin's work clothes, Mrs. Sawatari's residence is also the focus of their investigation.
On the entrance door, there were some fibers stained on the edges of the broken glass shards, the footprints on the ground, and the fingerprints on each cabinet were all the directions for their investigation.
This time, they could be said to have searched half of the Sawado family's residence from top to bottom.
Finally, the fibers on the folded overalls have the same shape as the fibers found on the drawer handle.
The source of the fiber has also been found. They are white thread gloves used by workers, and their circulation volume can be said to be the first in the country.
