"What do you mean?" While Tang Ze was trying to rule out the other man's boyfriend as a suspect, he also wanted to hear what reasons Kogoro Mouri used to make his conclusion this time.
Hearing Karasawa's question, Maori Kogoro calmly stated his reasoning:
"Actually, at 7:30 last night, the conversation between Ms. Nishimura and her boyfriend was overheard by the lady who lived next door when she passed by.
Judging from what the other party heard from Miss Nishimura, he must have gone mountain climbing and hadn't seen the deceased for a long time. He was a mountain climbing enthusiast.
There are also photos of him and his friends climbing the mountain together."
While Kogoro Mouri was speaking, Takagi beside him also handed over a photo, which showed a square-faced man with a beard.
"But there's no evidence to suggest that Ms. Nishimura's boyfriend is the culprit. When I met Ms. Sachiko last night, she seemed very happy to be meeting her boyfriend. She didn't seem to have any conflict at all..."
Perhaps it was because Miss Sachiko's situation while waiting for her boyfriend reminded her of herself. After Xiaolan heard what her father said, out of her inner sentimentality, she really didn't want to believe that Miss Sachiko's boyfriend was the criminal.
If that was the case, it would prove that Miss Sachiko's feelings were misplaced. Just thinking about it made him feel the same pain.
Unfortunately, the "straight man" Kogoro Mouri has no idea how his daughter feels.
Hearing his daughter's rebuttal, Maori Kogoro thought she was questioning his reasoning and looked at his daughter angrily:
"If the criminals broke into the apartment while Ms. Xicun and her boyfriend were having dinner, how come there was no trace of Ms. Xicun's boyfriend?
Look, there's no sign of a struggle in the house. Even if a grown man was in danger, he showed no signs of resistance, nor did he call the police. It's very suspicious no matter how you look at it."
After listening to what Kogoro Mori said, even Karasawa, who always used Kogoro Mori's clues as a basis for "checking wrong options" and "reverse reasoning", had to admit that the other party's judgment this time was really correct.
Judging from the situation at the scene, Tang Ze also made the same judgment, and Conan, who just exchanged glances with him, also thought so.
Not only that, after Takagi received the forensic results from the forensic department, this possibility became even greater.
Because no fingerprints other than Sachiko Shinmura's were found on the dining table, knives and forks, wine glasses, photos, or even the copper ornaments used as the murder weapon, and there were not even traces of wiping left!
It was clearly a date between the two of them, but the man hid his fingerprints in advance. The meaning behind this makes people wonder.
