Chapter 1493 1501 [Uzo's Secretary is a Good Person] Ask for a monthly ticket (〃〃)
The dusty windows, covered with moss, blended in with the surrounding walls and could easily be overlooked if one didn't look hard enough.
Of course, as a Beika man who battles wits and courage with the Uzo in the air every day and is good at running, Okiya Subaru had already discovered these windows.
But he had not before thought of "breaking the window and hiding inside".
First, the noise is too loud, and the harsh shattering sound will immediately make people nearby realize that there is a problem here.
The second reason is that they are worried that the homeowner is a violent murderer with a gun - he would rather take the risk of climbing onto the roof than be chased by someone with a gun.
However, Okiya Subaru did not expect that the window would open by itself even though he did not push it.
What was even more surprising was that what was revealed was a face that I had met once before.
Okiya Subaru was shocked: "You are..." ... the lifesaver at the airport? !
The woman in black tilted her head to look at him, as if she saw his predicament. The next moment, she actually extended her hand in a friendly manner.
"Come in and hide for a while."
The sound was unexpectedly soft and pleasant.
Subaru Okiya never expected that he would meet a rescuer when he was in a desperate situation. When he came to his senses, he had already climbed into the house.
The window clicked shut again.
Outside the house, the moss on the gray glass fell off.
But soon, white clay began to climb up silently along the previous traces, gradually turning into the color of moss.
A gust of wind blew, and the fallen moss rolled into the mud and water below the alley. All traces disappeared in an instant, as if the window had never been opened.
From Subaru Okiya's perspective, these changes cannot be seen.
He stood in the room holding his breath, and only heard the movement from outside - a group of plainclothes officers, after being properly deployed, simultaneously surrounded the alley from both sides. However, when he took a closer look, he found that there was no one in the alley.
Then the plainclothes officers' anxious and surprised voices were heard.
"Where are the people?"
"Didn't he run towards you?"
"I didn't see it, it must have run from your side!"
"Impossible! It's on your side!"
"Oh, forget it, let's chase both sides together, we have enough manpower anyway!"
A group of people gathered in the alley and left in a hurry.
The sound gradually faded away, and everything around became quiet again.
…
Jiang Xia drove the puppet and enthusiastically helped the miserable little brother find a hiding place, and then returned to his original body with great honor.
He left the puppet in the store. After all, they would meet again soon.
…
Jiang Xia opened his eyes in the coffee shop.
Then he put away the mobile phone that was placed in front of him and turned to look to the side.
The culprit who caused Okiya Subaru to flee in embarrassment for a long time now had no idea what had happened to the unfortunate "brutal Asian man".
Inspector Yasa may have forgotten that he was still searching for the suspect, or he may have thought that his subordinates were idle anyway and might as well go out for exercise. In any case, he had no plans to contact the plainclothes officers and was still working hard on the investigation.
He walked around the cafe for a few times, looked at the menu on the table, and signaled to the police officer behind him: "Extract the fingerprints on this."
At the same time, he confirmed with the clerk beside him: "This is the menu used by the deceased, right?"
The clerk nodded.
But at this time, Zhuang Tang Weijia next to him suddenly said: "If you want to find the fingerprints of the deceased Weihong from this menu and use it to identify the person who came to the store as her, it will probably be difficult to do."
"?" Inspector Yasa frowned and stared at her, "What do you mean?"
Zhuang Tang Weijia sighed: "When I was sitting in that position before, I accidentally knocked over the water cup, and the water splashed everywhere, and the menu was not spared.
"I wiped the menu with a handkerchief to get rid of the water. Of course, the same goes for all the places on the table and chairs where water could have splashed. If there were fingerprints there before, they must have been wiped off now."
This is really too much of a coincidence, and according to the experience of an old policeman, behind the "coincidence" there is often "premeditation".
Inspector Yasa stared at Zhuang Tang Weijiajia, his eyes becoming unprecedentedly suspicious.
Who would have thought that under his gaze, Zhuang Tang Weijia not only did not feel guilty, but instead became aggrieved and sad. She wiped away her tears anxiously:
“In other words, if I hadn’t found Weihong’s fingerprints in the store, I would have been considered the murderer? Alas, I am always so clumsy. If I hadn’t broken the cup, I wouldn’t have wiped the surrounding area carelessly. If I hadn’t wiped the surrounding area, I wouldn’t have accidentally wiped off Weihong’s fingerprints. If I hadn’t wiped off those fingerprints, I would have an alibi and wouldn’t have to be stared at suspiciously by you guys…”
Inspector Yasa was having a headache because of her nagging, but suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes lit up: "Oh, right, the broken cup!"
He looked at the clerk suddenly: "Do you still have those broken pieces of the water cup?"
The clerk nodded: "We wrapped up the broken pieces, but we didn't have time to throw them away."
"Great!" Inspector Yasa slammed his fist on his palm and instructed the young police officer next to him, "Quick, go get the broken cup and extract the fingerprints from it!"
——Forget about the water from other places, but no one must have wiped the water on the broken glass carefully. If the deceased had really been to this store, then there might still be her fingerprints on the glass!
Several young police officers nodded and followed the clerk to the kitchen.
…
It takes some time to extract fingerprints.
Taking advantage of this free time, Inspector Yasa remembered the "brutal Asian man" who had appeared at the crime scene and was planning to find the police officers who were dispatched to ask about the situation.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.
——As a good friend of the deceased, Zhuangtang Weijia seems to be very concerned about this case.
Rather than a suspect, she was more like a detective guiding the police: "In that case, why don't you go to the store where Weihong bought her clothes and ask about the situation - I know which store she usually buys from."
Inspector Yasa was still thinking about something else. He looked at her in confusion. "A clothes store? What are you going there for?"
Jiang Xia came over at some point and reminded, "If the 'dead' who came to this cafe at one o'clock was someone else pretending to be him, then the pretender needs to prepare a set of clothes that are exactly the same as the dead's. If you go to the clothing store and ask, you can get a list of suspects through the clue of 'clothes'."
"I see." Inspector Yasa suddenly realized, "Well, there were too many clues, and I was a little distracted, so I didn't react."
Jiang Xia: "Really? It's really not because you couldn't think of it?"
Inspector Yasa: “…#”
Jiang Xia: “…” Why is there no murderous intent… Alas, it seems that this job is not suitable for me. I will have to urge Kudo-san to work harder in the future.
