"Moshimoshi...Brother-in-law?"
"Have you found the murderer who killed Locke? Woo woo..."
As soon as the call was connected, Yuanzi's choked sobs and a barrage of words were heard from the other end of the receiver.
However, Tang Ze did not try to comfort her too much. Instead, he started to divert her attention: "Not yet, but we have made a lot of discoveries. I called you to ask you something. It might be an important clue to find the criminal."
"What? Tell me!"
As expected, after hearing what Tang Ze said, Yuanzi stopped crying immediately. It was obvious that it was better to avenge her idol than to be sad for her idol. She was very clear about this.
"The pattern of the nails?"
After listening to Tang Ze's description, Yuanzi quickly said: "The logo of Rock's band is a nail snake!
It's the pattern of nails stuck in the tongue."
"Is that so?" Tang Zehuang then immediately asked, "Do any fans have that pattern tattooed on their bodies? Are there any designated tattoo locations?"
"Yes, a lot..."
Sonoko wiped her tears and sniffed as she recalled, "I remember there was a band merchandise store that also offered tattoo services.
Anyone who is a fan of Rock's band will definitely go back to that shop to get a tattoo.
I remember the address was near Beihu Central Bridge."
"Really? I understand. I'll contact you if I need anything later."
After hanging up the phone, Karasawa told the news to Inspector Megure. After a brief investigation and questioning, the address of the band's peripheral merchandise store mentioned by Sonoko was found.
Tang Ze and others drove Zhu Gu and his son to their destination, hoping that Zhu Gu Qiao could identify the pattern tattooed by the criminal.
Looking at the tattoo patterns on display in the store, Zhu Gu Qiao shook his head to deny it, saying frankly that what he saw was not the pattern in front of him of a snake arranged in an S shape with its head nailed to an N-shaped piece of wood by a large nail.
"Are you sure that's not the pattern you see?" Maori Kogoro said, looking at the pattern in front of him. "It does look like a rather disgusting nail pattern."
"Boss, have you changed the pattern here?"
After hearing what Zhugu Qiao said, Tang Ze looked at the wall inside the shop with the tattoo pattern on it, and said to the shop owner next to him:
"I see a few square grids on your wall that are lighter than the surrounding area. It looks like they were covered with something before, right?"
"Officer, you are correct. We have indeed updated the pattern."
The boss nodded and pulled out a square of cloth with a brand new pattern from under the counter. "This is our new pattern, but we won't be shipping it until next week."
“Ah, that’s the pattern!”
When Zhu Guqiao saw the new pattern the shop owner brought out, he immediately exclaimed, "That person has this pattern in his hand!"
"Boss, has anyone got this new pattern tattooed?" Kogoro Mouri asked hurriedly after hearing this.
"Yes, a few very loyal fans heard about the logo change and asked us to let them get the new logo first, no matter what."
As the boss spoke, he took out a photo album from the cabinet behind him, turned to the last page, and showed everyone the photos of three customers who had new tattoos.
When Tang Ze saw the three photos in front of him, he showed an expression that said, "As expected."
It’s the old classic of choosing one out of three. No matter how troublesome the clues are in the early stages, you will definitely be able to narrow it down to a limited range of three people later.
Tang Ze took a look and found that as expected, all three of them had this pattern tattooed on their arms.
Although the tattoos were on different arms, Tang Ze estimated that Zhugu Qiao was unlikely to remember whether the tattoo was on the left or right hand.
Based on the boss's introduction, they also had a preliminary understanding of the situation of these three people.
First is Mr. Kiritani in the rightmost photo. He is wearing a gray baseball cap, and his medium-length hair and beard are dyed golden brown, which looks like the same hair color as foreigners.
Judging from the photo, the arm he tattooed should be his right forearm.
The second Mr. Anju is a man with a flat head and sunglasses. He looks like a gang leader, especially with the snake tattoo on his right forearm.
As for the third one, it is Mr. Guan Nei. He also has a tattoo on his left arm and an afro hairstyle. He looks like a middle-aged uncle and has no sense of fashion at all.
"Coincidentally, do you think any of these three people looks particularly familiar?" Mr. Zhu Gu asked in a gentle voice while holding his son.
"It was so dark and he was wearing a hat, so I couldn't see it." Zhu Guqiao shook his head and looked at his father and said, "But I saw the nail when the man was about to get in the car to leave."
“Car…”
After hearing what Takumi Hashiratani said, Maori Kogoro carefully examined the three photos and immediately asked, "Is the imported car that Mr. Anju in the middle is relying on his own car?"
"Yes, he said it seems to have been open for ten years." The boss replied.
"Is this the car?" Maori Kogoro turned his head to look at Hashirani Takumi: "This car is also black."
"I don't know!" Zhu Guqiao shook his head.
"What about the man in the hat on the right?" Maori Kogoro continued, "Is he like this?"
"No, it's completely different." Zhu Guqiao still shook his head.
"By the way, why do you suddenly want to change the band's logo?" Conan, who was standing by, took advantage of the fact that no one was asking the boss questions and asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the case.
