Chapter 14601468 [Case Closed]
"The phone you took out of your bag when you checked the items just now is a different model from the one you took out of your pocket to check after receiving the message. If you search your body now, you should be able to find relevant evidence."
Officer Takagi: "..." After hearing what Jiang Xia said, he thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true - but if no one hadn't specifically mentioned it, he would not have noticed the difference between Sugimoto Hideki's two mobile phones.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Sugimoto Hideki.
I saw the other person was sweating, his eyes rolled slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
Officer Gao Mu recalled the images of the suspect operating two mobile phones, and suddenly realized something. He tactfully reminded him, "Even if the call records are deleted from the phone, we still have a way to find them."
"!"
The cold sweat on Sugimoto Hideki's forehead increased visibly.
Jiang Xia continued, "The deceased was worried that if his backpack was found on the spot, his act of stealing cash would be exposed, so he had to hold on and argued with you. You are much stronger than the deceased, and although the scene at that time looked like a chaotic fight, in fact, it was not difficult for you to control the direction of the two of you moving.
"Then you just need to push him all the way into the construction area, with his back facing the gap in the railing, and when he grabs the strap, give him a push - the strap has been tampered with in advance, and it will break immediately if you pull it hard."
When Sugimoto Hideki heard this, he subconsciously hid his bag to his side.
However, Sato Miwako had already slipped next to him without him noticing, and stretched out her hand faintly: "Let me see."
Then, with a force that no mortal could resist, he took the bag from his hands.
She observed for a moment, her eyes sharpening: "There are indeed some neat breaks on the straps, these are traces of cutting!"
Sugimoto Hideki laughed and said, "I... this must be a prank by my colleagues. The competition in our company is very fierce, so some people will resort to shady means. They want my bag strap to break suddenly, so that I can lose my documents and make a fool of myself.
"Anyway, whether my bag is intact or not has nothing to do with this case. If you have the guts, go and catch the guy who cut the bag! Besides, the deceased was an adult man, and he was so desperate when he was trying to snatch the bag. I couldn't even hold the bag with both hands, so how could I have the energy to raise my hands and push him?"
While listening attentively, Yoko Kinoshita pushed a glass of warm water from the table to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia took it and moistened his throat, then sighed. The criminals in Tokyo always seemed to be very persistent. If all the details were not laid out in front of them, they would never admit their mistakes. "There are also marks on the back of the deceased's hand."
Inspector Megure: "...the back of the hand?"
As he asked, he secretly poked Takagi Wataru with his hand.
Officer Takagi immediately understood what was going on, went to negotiate with the airport police, and quickly found a photo of the deceased.
Several policemen from the First Investigation Division gathered together and observed the dead man's hands.
The deceased died in an accidental fall, and the cause of death was obviously a head hit, so they have not yet carefully checked other parts of the body.
Now, taking a closer look, one can see that there are indeed some strange little dots on the back of the deceased's hand.
"This is..." Sato Miwako was the first to recognize it, "A mark left by a ballpoint pen?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "When Mr. Sugimoto stood up just now, his clothes on his chest left some faint marks as his body posture changed - he actually had a pen in his inner pocket, but he didn't take it out when he signed the documents just now.
"So the process was probably that Mr. Sugimoto first tried to use the sudden break of the strap to make the deceased lose balance and fall from the fourth floor.
“But after the bandage broke, the deceased retreated much less than he expected and did not fall downstairs.
"So in a panic, he held the bag in one hand and pulled out a pen from the inner pocket with the other hand, and stabbed the deceased violently, causing him to fall from the building in panic."
“…”
It was dead silent.
It seemed that he finally couldn't find any point to refute. Sugimoto Hideki, who was possessed by Mori Kogoro just now, suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, he sneered, reached into his inner pocket and pulled out a ballpoint pen, swung it high as if showing off a trophy, and then threw it on the ground.
"!!"
Officer Takagi immediately rushed over, picked up the pen, and carefully put it into the bag.
Then, looking at this key piece of evidence, he breathed a sigh of relief: Jiang Xia had said such a long speech before the precious evidence that had finally fallen must be protected immediately to avoid any further mistakes.
…
This time, the suspect did not kneel down and confess. He just stared at the photo of the deceased and said angrily:
"I can't forgive him. He killed my girlfriend! Half a year ago, my girlfriend and I agreed to get married. However, a few days before the wedding, she was crossing the road late at night on a rainy night and was hit and killed by that bastard who ran a red light.
"Because it was too late, the road was deserted and there were no witnesses around, the police accepted Gu Tian's testimony that he was a pedestrian crossing the road - he easily escaped responsibility."
Miwako Sato was startled and couldn't help but ask in a serious and low voice: "But since there are no witnesses, how do you know it was..."
"I just know it!" Sugimoto Hideki slammed his fist on the table, "She wouldn't run a red light, it must be the fault of that bastard Furuta! So I want him to have a taste of what it feels like to be killed without being held accountable!"
…
It was almost as if it was responding to the relaxed atmosphere after the case was solved.
——Soon after, the weather improved and the flight was able to take off.
Subaru Okiya followed the crew and got on the plane. The star directors went to the first class cabin, and they, the little followers, were in ordinary seats.
Fortunately, maybe it was due to the flight delay, or maybe there weren't many people going to the UK, so there were a lot of empty seats in the cabin, and there was no feeling of congestion. This made Okiya Subaru feel a little relieved.
After he sat down, he waited for other passengers to board the plane while checking his phone before takeoff.
I didn't expect to see the news about the airport fall while scrolling.
Okiya Subaru: "..." How long has it been since the murder happened? How come they have already written a complete diary with pictures? So fast, whether it's Jiang Xia or the reporter who is looking for the murder case... Hmm? Email?
He looked at the new message and was a little surprised: Mr. Akai's investigation is also over? How come everyone's efficiency has suddenly become so high?
Okiya Subaru muttered as he switched to his mailbox. He clicked in to see the result obtained by Akai Shuichi:
[Jiang Xia was at the airport because a while ago, he and his companions happened to help a lady pick up a cat, and the lady suddenly wanted to invite Jiang Xia and his companions to visit her home.]
