Chapter 1338 1346 [What do you think]
Vodka stared at the bloody words, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that there was a big flaw:
"The 'コ' and 'ヌ' in the 'コマイヌ' on the ground are both disconnected at the top right corner. This kind of writing error is actually rare in adults. Rather than a stroke error, it's more like someone added a few more strokes to the original word and changed it into the current '石狮'."
Jiang Xia nodded with satisfaction: "You are becoming more and more like a detective."
Vodka: “…” It was clearly a compliment, but when it came out of Uzo’s mouth, it sounded like “You’re getting fatter and fatter, it’s time to slaughter you,” which gave people goosebumps.
Inspector Otaki did not notice the strange aura between the two. He just felt that the more he listened, the more reasonable it was.
So he immediately turned to the young police officer next to him and said, "See if there is anything on the deceased that can prove the handwriting!"
…
Although mobile phones are evolving rapidly nowadays, most people here still have the habit of carrying a notebook or diary with them, which records various schedules.
The police officer quickly found a notebook from the deceased and opened it to verify: "He definitely didn't have the habit of cutting off the upper right corner when writing his pseudonym."
——In other words, someone really tampered with the deceased’s posthumous message.
Vodka looked down at the bloody words. After removing a horizontal and a vertical stroke based on the unnatural handwriting, the remaining words became: "ニマイメ...'handsome guy'?"
He was startled for a moment, and his heart began to beat violently. He suddenly looked at Jiang Xia: This deceased person actually found out the real murderer and wrote it down? !
What a pity! Such a talented person died here. Of course, it doesn't matter whether he dies or not. The point is that Uzo was exposed! In this way...
Vodka's heart was instantly filled with wonderful fantasies and expectations for the future.
However, soon after taking a clear look around him, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured down on him - he discovered that apart from him, it seemed that no one was looking at Jiang Xia, but instead, they were all looking at the male actor next to him.
Vodka: “……?”
As if seeing through his thoughts, a voice sounded faintly beside him: "I can't believe you have good taste. Although it is also used to describe handsome men, the word 'nikami' is more often used to refer to male actors. And since you came late, you may not know that Mr. Nachi Shingo often uses this word to describe himself."
"..." Vodka snorted coldly, his face calm, "Why are you telling me this? I didn't think much about it just now."
He lost control of himself and deviated from the image of "the little assistant who admires the detective".
Fortunately, the others were obviously different from him. They immediately suspected Nachi Shingo and did not notice the movement here.
Inspector Otaki stared at Nachi Shingo: "It's you!"
Vodka took advantage of the chaos to move a little away from Jiangxia and closer to the escape route.
Then he turned his head to look at Nachi Shingo, trying to increase the other person's presence by staring at him, and thus reduce his own presence.
…
The only one without an alibi.
A person whose nickname was written on the ground with the blood of the deceased.
People who had important photos of themselves that cannot be exposed taken by the deceased and who had just been threatened by the deceased this afternoon.
...Everything, all points to Nachi Shingo.
Nachi Shingo himself realized that something was not right.
He gritted his teeth and suddenly sighed: "I'll tell you the truth - I did make an appointment with him to meet at the shrine at 7:30 tonight, but when I got here, he was already dead! When I saw his body, I wanted to run away, but suddenly I found the words 'handsome guy' written on the ground. It seemed to be pointing at me..."
Yuanshan Heye couldn't help but interrupt: "You are quite narcissistic."
"…So what? Am I not handsome?" Nachi Shingo was furious. "Didn't you guys assume I was the murderer as soon as you saw the words on the ground?!"
Yuanshan Heye: "..." It's because you keep saying "I'm a handsome guy"...
But solving the case was important now, and Nachi Shingo looked like he was about to mention an important clue, so she waved her hand and didn't interrupt: "Nothing, go on."
Nachi Shingo snorted coldly: "I didn't kill him at all, and I don't know why he slandered me. But you also know that I did have a conflict with him. At that time, I thought - if you doubt me because of the message on the ground, it would be difficult for me to explain, just like now.
"So at that point, my first reaction was to get rid of the blood on the ground.
"But the blood seeped into the bricks and was difficult to remove. I was also afraid that I would be discovered if I stayed at the scene for too long, so I hastily added a few strokes. It just so happened that he wrote in katakana, which has simple strokes. I often play the game of moving matchsticks, so I am very good at it..."
Inspector Otaki stared at Nachi Shingo with a sense of oppression, obviously thinking that he was quibbling.
However, he suddenly remembered that there was a detective standing next to him, and experience told him that if he didn't want to lose face in front of his subordinates, he'd better listen to the detective's opinion before drawing conclusions...
Thinking of this, Inspector Otaki turned to Jiang Xia: "What do you think?"
Jiang Xia also turned to Vodka: "What do you think?"
Vodka: “…”
Every time Wuzo's eyes fell on him, he knew that something bad was going to happen.
But this time...
Vodka: “…” In his impression, perhaps out of some strange emotion of respect for his opponent, Uzo was quite nice to the detective, and he had only killed a few guys who did not abide by the detective ethics before.
At this point, if I follow his instructions and become a detective, there probably won't be any problem.
And Uzo looked like he wouldn't look away until he spoke... Damn it! If Nachi Shingo had honestly confessed his guilt, the case would have been over long ago, and he wouldn't have to face this difficult situation.
Vodka could only emit murderous intent towards Nachi Shingo while obediently observing the situation on the ground under the oppression of a hateful colleague.
After all, I see a lot of corpses and have rich experience.
After taking a closer look, he actually found something wrong.
Vodka looked at the watch on the corpse's wrist and paused: "The dial is too clean."
——The deceased must have been stabbed in the artery before he died. The crime scene was quite bloody, with blood splattered everywhere. Even the stone lions next to him were splattered a lot, and the deceased himself was covered in blood.
But even though his wrists and arms were covered in blood, there was no blood on the cover of the watch. It didn't make sense no matter how you looked at it.
Vodka suddenly remembered that when he was in charge of the aftermath, some traitors would hide chips in their watches, so every time Brother Gin killed someone, he had to pay attention to the watch of the target - this time the deceased's watch was so clean, someone must have touched it after his death.
