Chapter 1051 1059 [Jiang Xia, Wu Zuo Nexing]
For the first time, Subaru Okiya experienced the role of a "famous detective" so vividly - a good detective who can solve cases efficiently is a blessing to those of them who are background figures.
"Have you found the murderer?" The police officers were obviously as happy as Subaru Okiya. Before Miwako Sato could ask, Inspector Megure, who was in charge of dispatching, had already moved his ears and came over, "Who is it?"
"Let's find the evidence first." Jiang Xia glanced at Okiya Subaru, remembered his gun, and silently helped the police fast forward the progress of the case:
"First, why was the murderer able to quickly locate the deceased and then commit the crime after the power went out? The sudden change from a bright environment to a dark one makes it difficult for people's vision to adapt and they cannot see the things around them clearly.
"But if one eye is covered in advance and kept in darkness, then when the classroom suddenly becomes dark, the murderer will be able to briefly have 'night vision ability' that others do not have."
"Cover one eye..."
Hearing this keyword, a group of people in the classroom subconsciously turned their heads and looked at the deceased's daughter-in-law.
——There was a bandage across Kaoru Kamimori’s left eye, just covering it.
…
"No, it's not me!" Kasumi Kaoru took a step back subconsciously, "I only wore a bandage because my eyes were injured."
"Injured? But I remember before class, you said you were wearing a bandage because you had a stye." When Aunt Yashiro heard this, she suddenly straightened up and transformed from a "suspect" into the one interrogating the question.
She pushed the reading glasses on her nose, and a faint reflection flashed across the lenses:
"Let's take a step back. Even if your eyes were really injured, it wasn't serious enough to cause you to lose your vision. You just happened to use the 'injury' to generate inspiration for murder. I guess your eyes were hit by that disappointing son of Kamimori Michi."
Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at her: "..." This auntie is indeed the former high school classmate of the deceased, and her ability to attract hatred is comparable. At this moment, Kaoru Kamimori seemed to have a new murderous aura brewing.
"I won't kill anyone for this! And don't you have more motives to kill than me?" Kaoru Kamimori covered his bandages, raised his hand and pointed at Yashiro Aizhi, and said angrily:
"Don't think I don't know. Over the years, you have always regarded my mother-in-law as a thorn in your side because she took away your boyfriend nearly thirty years ago. I heard that you have never married since then, and you came here to take classes to see my father-in-law. Even after my father-in-law passed away a year ago, you persisted in coming here - you must be looking for an opportunity to kill my mother-in-law, right!"
…
As a member of the Kamimori family and the daughter-in-law of the deceased, Kamimori Fumio obviously knows much more inside information than others.
At this moment, she suddenly found herself becoming the biggest suspect. She became like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end, and her aggressiveness suddenly increased.
Kaoru Kamimori suddenly pointed at Hiroaki Nishitani:
"And you! My mother-in-law said a while ago that she had found someone more talented than you and was planning to stop supporting you financially. I remember you always wanted to own a store of your own. Without my mother-in-law's support, it would be difficult to do so."
Yashiro Koie and Nishitani Hiroaki looked like they had swallowed a fly and their faces suddenly turned ugly.
Jiang Xia sniffed the murderous aura that was floating around the classroom again with comfort.
However, after waiting for a while, the murderous aura did not return to the peak state it had before the class started - I guess it's because there are detectives and police officers around now, which has somewhat suppressed the murderous intent of the people around.
Jiang Xia thought to himself: When I leave, I must remember to find these people and exchange business cards...
…
If we wait any longer, the murderous aura won't seem to increase.
Jiangxia looked towards Xigu Hongming:
"Come to think of it, I always felt that Mr. Nishitani's eyes were a little strange, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. But now I see that they have become normal."
"..." Nishitani Hongming opened his mouth and said with a stiff upper lip, "You are seeing things."
"Maybe." Jiang Xia responded perfunctorily, turned to look at the police, and pointed at Nishitani Hiroaki's workbench. "Since we didn't find any suspicious items on the floor or the table, why not look for ingredients on the table that could be used to hide something? For example, batter or butter or something - maybe we can find something quite crucial."
Nishitani Hiroaki's face changed slightly.
Several forensic police officers recalled Jiang Xia's success rate in solving cases, and looked at Xi Gu Hongming with a scrutinizing look. They quickly walked to the workbench and began to search among the various ingredients.
"And..." Once Jiang Xia started to "solve the case", he seemed not to stop. After instructing the police to turn over the table, he walked to the long table next to him without any hesitation.
Jiang Xia's eyes swept across the personal belongings of each student and finally stopped on Nishitani Hongming's pile of luggage.
"In the gap of this pen..." He took a closer look and hesitated, "It seems to be stained with a little flour?"
"!" Officer Sato and Inspector Megure also came closer and actually found a little light-colored dust in the corner. Their eyes suddenly lit up and they called their subordinates, "Hurry up, come over and get the evidence!"
…
After taking a few photos at different angles.
Jiang Xia borrowed a pair of gloves, unscrewed the pen, and gently pulled out the refill.
In the center of the transparent refill, the boundary between ink and air has become blurred - a needle is inserted from the hollow part and quietly hidden in the refill. A quick look shows that its length and specifications are perfectly consistent with the missing murder weapon.
Almost at the same time, on the other side, the police officer who was rummaging on the workbench stopped and took out a plastic sheet covered with batter from the container: "Inspector, there's something here!"
"It should be a contact lens." The police officer lowered his head to identify it and muttered, "But the colored part is not the iris, but the pupil in the middle... There are people who sell this kind of glasses. After wearing it, your vision will be blocked."
However, this does fit in with the speculation that "one eye is usually covered in exchange for a short period of 'night vision ability'".
Nishitani Hiroaki originally wanted to defend himself.
However, looking at the two pieces of evidence that appeared at the same time, he broke out in a cold sweat. Finally, he didn't know what to say and fell to his knees.
…
Okiya Subaru looked at this scene and breathed a sigh of relief silently: the murderer had been identified, and he no longer had to worry about being searched by the police.
Next to him, Toru Amuro also breathed a sigh of relief silently: he realized that even if he had accidentally stepped into Usa's trap and tried to carry out the "body search" to arrest Okiya Subaru, this plan would have been interrupted by Jiang Xia's quick solution of the case.
Amuro Toru: "..." It's like he has a firewall with him. When Jiang Xia came to the office and knocked on the door, it was a wise move to accept him as an exception.
