"Well…thank you for your testimony."
After listening to the waitress's words, Officer Megure expressed his gratitude and continued to ask: "Also, the lady in the photo went to the bathroom 10 minutes later, and the lady next to me came to the cafe?"
"Yes, she said she had an appointment with the guest dressed in Gothic Lolita style, so I led her to her seat." The waitress nodded.
"Did this person go out after that?"
Although Shodo Yuka was right next to him, Inspector Megure had no scruples or fear of causing the other party's dissatisfaction, and still asked very detailed questions.
"Yes, this lady was sitting here and made several phone calls to the gothic lolita lady."
"Well, it seems that if Miss Shodo is the culprit, then she must have called the victim to Daigi Park immediately after she went to the bathroom, killed her, and then returned to the store."
Megure looked at the watch on his wrist, pondered for a moment and said, "It's quite far from this cafe to the restroom in Daigi Park. Whether you take the train or drive, it takes more than half an hour.
So, Miss Zhuang Tang, your suspicion has been cleared for the time being."
Zhuang Tang Weijia did not show any sign of relief at the police's open suspicion and then clearing her of suspicion. Her face remained gloomy, as if she was grieving for the murder of her friend.
"Brother Tangze, what do you think?" Inspector Megure looked at Tangze, wanting to ask for his opinion.
"Hmm... I'm a little concerned about the difference."
Tang Ze thought for a moment and said, "Although Miss Kusase Mikumo, as we saw on her driver's license, had dyed her hair, she was actually very pretty.
But the contrast with the one we see in reality is very big.”
"But that's not surprising."
Sonoko, who was standing by, said puzzledly, “To dress like a Gothic lolita, you need to put on makeup and use foundation to make your skin look pale.
At the same time, you should also use tools such as mascara to change the shape of your eyes to make them look bright.
It's normal to have a contrast like this, right?"
Xiaolan on the side also nodded repeatedly, obviously thinking that such a contrast was normal.
"It's true that having different styles is normal, but since they both have the same makeup and the same clothes, if their face shapes are similar, it would probably be difficult to tell who is who in the same outfit, right?"
Tang Ze's words made Inspector Megure and others look stern, and it was obvious that everyone also realized this problem.
The witnesses they have now do say that Kusase Miku came to the cafe.
But the other party was just seeing the other person for the first time, and all identification was based on clothing.
Then how could they be sure that it was Kuse Miku herself, and not someone else pretending to be Kuse Miku?
If Sonoko had noticed details that Tang Ze hadn't noticed before because of her understanding of the Gothic Lolita style, then now she is also trapped by such common sense.
After hearing what Tang Ze said and realizing the problem, Megure felt a little headache. After all, makeup is sometimes like disguise, and it is really difficult to tell who is who.
But no matter how difficult it is, the case must continue to be investigated. The only change is that Zhuang Tang Weijia has become a suspect again from being a non-suspicion before.
Moreover, he is currently the most suspicious candidate.
"Excuse me, this first lady who came in, does she have anything to order?"
After realizing that it was not so easy to rule out Shodo Yuka's suspicion, Megure immediately looked at the waiter and asked.
"She said she was waiting for her companion, so she didn't order anything." The waitress thought for a moment and said, "But I did give her the menu."
"Can we borrow this menu?" asked Inspector Megure.
"no problem."
Hearing the waitress's agreement, Megure put on gloves and wanted to take the menu away to have someone check his fingerprints.
But at this moment, Zhuang Tang Weijia suddenly spoke up: "I don't think there will be any fingerprints of Weiquan on the menu."
"Huh? Why?" Megure looked at the other person in surprise.
"Because when I came here, I wasn't paying attention when I ordered and broke my water glass."
Zhuang Tang Weijia explained calmly, "I was so flustered at the time that I put the menu on the table and went to pick up the broken glass on the floor, and I accidentally got the menu wet.
Of course, I wiped down the menus, sofas, and tables, so there shouldn't be any traces left behind."
"kindness..."
When Inspector Megure heard what Shodo Yuka said, his face couldn't help but become serious. It was obvious that the other party's actions were now completely destroying evidence.
"Will I be considered a murderer if this happens?"
Seeing Megure looking at her seriously, Zhuang Tang Weijia said worried words, but there was no fear on her face. Instead, there was a sense of complacency in her eyes.
"Don't worry, this won't happen."
Tang Ze, who was standing by, said, "Criminal investigations all rely on evidence. We can't treat you, Miss Zhuang Tang, as a criminal just because of one possibility."
"It's really a headache. The water cup that Weiquan used was also broken. I destroyed the evidence that could prove my innocence myself..."
Although Zhuang Tang Weijia's words were expressed with regret, to Tang Ze they sounded like the arrogance of a criminal, as if he was saying, "I have destroyed all the evidence. Even if you suspect me, what can you do to me?"
