"Well...it seems to be true..." said Sato Miwako.
"Then the reason why the criminal took the ring is very subtle." Tang Ze said, looking at the forensic examiner beside him: "By the way, are there any minor injuries on the body? I smell blood."
"As expected of Inspector Karasawa, he's truly amazing."
The forensic examiner beside him exclaimed in admiration after hearing this, and then picked up the left hand of the corpse, which had previously been wearing a ring: "There are two places where the blood is. One is where the ring was worn on the victim's hand.
Although a lot of blood has been wiped off the middle finger, the black circle is enough to confirm that it is blood."
"But why did the bloodstain appear here?" asked Sato Miwako in confusion.
"The deceased had wounds on his face. Most likely he was accidentally injured while shaving, and then stained with the wound when he touched it with his hands."
Ma Shengshi, who was standing by, moved the corpse's cheek, revealing a wound on the left side of the face.
"What's the fingerprint situation in the house?" Tang Ze asked.
"We have collected fingerprints from the coffee cup, saucer, coffee machine and door handle, but no other fingerprints were found," the forensic officer replied.
"It seems that this is the only answer."
Tang Ze looked at the man beside him and said, "Mr. Dejima, the criminal is you!"
"What!"
After hearing Tang Ze's words, everyone was shocked and stunned by Tang Ze's sudden remarks.
"Mr. Dejima, it's the criminal..." Xiaolan said in shock, covering her mouth.
“That’s too imprecise.”
Anabuki, who was standing by, stood up and spoke up for his friend with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Aren't you still investigating?
How can you just jump to conclusions without any logic at all? Is this how the police handle cases?!"
"Yeah, your investigation has just begun!" Tarumizu also looked indignant: "There's no way to convince anyone!"
“Actually, this technique is very simple.”
Tang Ze smiled and said, "To put it simply, the criminal used something like a string to pass through the ring on the deceased's finger, and then passed the key to the deceased through the air vent.
As for your statement that I cannot convince you, I can only say that there is no need to do so, because you are the suspects and we are the ones who will judge the case.
Also, why do you think I only proposed this method now? It’s not because I didn’t think of it at the beginning, but because I didn’t rule out all possibilities at the beginning.
Now that forensic experts have laid out all the clues to the crime, it can be said that they have screened out and restricted the means and conditions used by the criminals to commit tricks.
After eliminating all impossibilities, this truth is the truth whether you accept it or not."
These words left the two men silent for a while, but that was only the reaction of these few suspects. On the contrary, the reactions of the others were more direct.
"Yes, this is the secret room technique!"
Maori Kogoro was stunned at first, then suddenly realized and exclaimed, "So among the three people, only Mr. Dejima could be the culprit!"
Even though Kogoro Mouri's reasoning is usually wrong, that is based on "fictional reasoning".
Well, but this is different from Karasawa’s “fictional reasoning” that makes up logic. Maori Kogoro’s “fictional reasoning” means literally.
To put it bluntly, it is just a completely illogical guess.
And I don’t know if it’s because he’s too lazy to think or because he wants to punch out and go home quickly, but Kogoro Mouri always simplifies complicated cases and treats them as suicides.
This also resulted in Kogoro Mori's unreliable appearance.
But in some ways, you can also see this as a sign that Kogoro Mori is not serious.
Simply put, it is not focused and not attentive.
However, once it involves Eri Kisaki, his own daughter, or even a good friend, Kogoro Mouri has no problem with his logical ability in "serious mode", regardless of his reasoning level.
In other words, he may not be able to get the answer right, nor may he be able to discover various clues, but when all the clues are placed in front of him, it is impossible for Kogoro Mouri to come up with the wrong answer.
So at this moment, after hearing what Karasawa said, Kogoro Mouri immediately reacted.
"Why?" Tarumi looked at Maori Kogoro unconvinced and said, "Since you say that, then tell me the reason!"
"Actually, you two are also suspects, but Mr. Dejima is the only one who fully meets the requirements."
Tang Ze startled Tarumi and Anabuki the moment he opened his mouth. Seeing the indignant expressions on their faces, he smiled and reminded them, "This is not an unfounded statement, but a deduction based on facts."
"That's right, Mr. Tarumi. You have rubber bands with you, right? If you string them all together, you can actually use them as a rope to pass through the ring and then use the elasticity to bounce them into the deceased's hand."
Maori Kogoro nodded and looked at the panicked photographer Tarumi seriously: "But there is a reason why I didn't treat you as a criminal."
"After all, this approach seems reasonable and has potential for implementation, but it's not practical in practice."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "After all, the joints between the rubber bands will pull on the ring and get stuck.
After all, I have seen the ring that Mr. Zhukou is wearing. It doesn't fit the finger very well, but there is not enough space for the rubber band to pass through.
The same goes for the metal measuring tape that Ms. Anabuki carries with her.
