Chapter 3124 3136 [Bring up Curacao]

Jiang Xia shook his head and said regretfully, "It's a pity that this lawyer doesn't look stupid. It's not difficult to prove that this pair of pliers was the tool used to commit the crime, but it's probably not easy to find fingerprints attached to the pliers by inspecting them."

Officer Yokomizo's heart skipped a beat: "Then..."

Fortunately, before he could finish his clacking, the magical detective spoke again: "I heard from Aunt Eri before that they went on a business trip to Kyushu not long ago, and this time they flew directly to Izu.

"When traveling, if you carry a huge pair of pliers in your bag, it's easy for others to find it.

"In addition, pliers of this size cannot be carried on board and must be checked in. All checked luggage must be X-rayed first, and the scanned images are usually kept for two to three days.

“In short, if the murderer brought the tools from somewhere else, then we only need to check the relevant images - but with his caution, he should try to avoid this situation.

“That is to say, this pair of pliers was most likely purchased after arriving in Izu.

"The lawyers arrived at noon today, and then spent the whole afternoon shopping and partying. Their activities must not be limited, so..."

Speaking of his own territory in Izu, Officer Yokomizo regained his confidence: "So as long as we investigate a limited number of stores and retrieve the video footage from the checkout counter, we can prove that he bought such things!"

Jiang Xia nodded.

After getting his confirmation, Officer Yokomizo rolled up his sleeves and was about to go back with high morale, intending to detain Lawyer Saku first and then investigate slowly.

Officer Yokomizo: "..." Treating Jiang Xia as a suspect was too stressful. Not to mention his respect for the detective, he felt that he could not cope with the reporters outside and the waiters who were eyeing him covetously.

In comparison, if the murderer was the lawyer, things would be much easier...

"etc."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the detective suddenly called him.

Officer Yokomizo stopped in his tracks and turned back in confusion, only to see Jiang Xia stroking his chin and thinking, "Although the method of searching for a store is feasible, if the murderer made a big disguise when buying the pliers, then this investigation may take a lot of extra time.

"So it's better to do two things at once. On the one hand, we should investigate step by step, and on the other hand, we should start with the murderer himself. If his confidence collapses and he is willing to explain the time and place where he got the murder tools, and the images in the store can match, then this evidence will be very solid."

Officer Yokomizo's eyes lit up when he heard this: Compared to searching for clues like looking for a needle in a haystack, it would certainly save a lot of effort if we could work backwards from the results. But here comes the problem...

"How can I destroy his confidence?"

Jiang Xia did not disappoint his expectant look and casually came up with a plan: "From the current situation, I am more like the murderer this time - someone is taking the blame, the real murderer should be relatively relaxed.

“So it’s better to keep the cracked secret room and the found murder weapon secret, find an excuse to block the corridor where the murder took place, and let the people there continue to operate under the previous conditions.

"Auntie Yingli is a great lawyer who has dealt with many criminal cases. If she stays there, she will be able to quickly find out the details and identify the real culprit. As long as the murderer, who thinks he has successfully framed someone, collapses under her sudden attack, we can all go home smoothly tonight."

When they heard that it was time to get off work, the young policemen were secretly excited, but then they quickly adjusted their expressions, not daring to let their superiors see.

After what happened just now, Officer Yokomizo has become obedient to Jiang Xia.

He did not refuse the offer: "Then you..."

Jiang Xia said righteously, "I will follow the original plan, hire a lawyer, and then go to the police station with you guys - otherwise if the murderer finds out that I didn't do anything after I left with you guys, this plan will fail."

Officer Yokomizo nodded, but quickly shook his head: "No, when I rushed here just now, several reporters had already heard the news and rushed over. If you are taken to the police station as a suspect, this matter will definitely be reported in the news immediately. Once it is proved that you are innocent, those guys will definitely write nonsense about you. Then..."

Thinking about how his superiors, the publicity department, and Jiang Xia's fans would view him as a "confused official", Officer Yokomizo felt a headache and felt that his already large head had grown even bigger - having been a policeman for so many years, he knew very well how powerful the media and rumors were.

Jiang Xia looked at the policeman who was shaking his head like a rattle: "..."

If you think about it carefully, being taken into a police car like a criminal does not seem very cool.

After hesitating for a moment, the quick-witted fake detective compromised and proposed another plan: "Then you can just send someone to pretend to be the 'suspect' and take the police car. As long as the reporter guarding the door sees this scene and spreads the news that 'the suspect has been escorted to the police station', no matter who is sent to the police station, combined with the situation just now, the murderer will automatically think that the person in the car is me."

After a pause, he said solemnly, "Besides, lawyers are all very suspicious, and this smoke bomb alone is far from enough - find an empty room, I'll go in and sit down, and you can help me invite Attorney Shirai over."

Officer Yokomizo was stunned and instinctively rejected the idea of ​​dealing with a lawyer: "Since you are not a suspect, you don't need a lawyer to defend you."

Jiang Xia shook his head and looked at him with a look of regret, "Since we want the murderer to think that he has successfully framed us, we must pay attention to all the details. These lawyers have a good relationship and communicate with each other on a regular basis. We just said in front of the murderer that we would find lawyer Shirai. If we don't find her and she accidentally reveals this, the murderer will definitely notice it.

"Also, although the possibility is small, we also need to prevent Ms. Shirai from tipping off the police. It would be best if we could get her to cooperate with us and pretend that I am really under investigation at the police station."

"I see!" Officer Yokomizo suddenly realized and was touched. "You are so considerate of us... There is a lounge in this hotel. You can go there and rest first. I will ask someone to invite Attorney Shirai from the lobby."

"But you have to prepare the 'suspect' first, and then call her along when the suspect passes by her - just like Mr. Jiang Xia passed by and invited her to defend him."

After what happened just now, Officer Yokomizo was unconsciously getting into the role and acting professionally: "Wait until we get out of the hotel, and then take advantage of the chaos to bring her back."
