Chapter 1496 1504 [No coincidences, only Uzo]
If we figure out who has that suit, we can get a list of suspects who pretended to be the deceased and went to the coffee shop, and then identify the murderer.
Inspector Yasa was about to ask more questions.
But at this moment, Zhuang Tang Weijia spoke up like a detective again and asked the store manager, "Wei Hong is the only one who bought that dress?"
The store manager was easy to talk to, and she didn't mind that these people were disturbing her business. She shook her head calmly and said, "This is an original design of our store. It was sold out on the day it went on sale yesterday."
The implication is that a lot of them were sold and the demand is far from meeting supply.
Inspector Yasa frowned and glanced at Zhuang Tang Weijia. If someone pretended to be the deceased and entered the coffee shop to confuse their alibi, then the woman who entered the shop ten minutes after the deceased was obviously the most suspicious.
He pointed at Zhuangtang Weijia and asked the store manager, "Among those customers who bought clothes, is this lady there?"
"How could it be me? I was in Japan yesterday, and my plane just landed in the early morning. There is no way I could have bought that dress. If you don't believe me, you can go to the customs to check."
Seeing that he was still doubting her, Zhuangtang Weijia showed an angry expression, "It was because Weihong kept showing off to me that she bought new clothes that I knew about the new products."
The store manager raised his head and glanced at her face gently: "This lady is indeed not among those who bought clothes."
Zhuang Tang Weijia breathed a sigh of relief silently, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her became a little friendlier.
Inspector Yasa felt worried and even lost a few strands of his hair: Could it really not be Zhuang Tang Weijia?
As he was thinking, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.
——Sheriff Anna, who stayed at the crime scene, called.
Inspector Yassa picked up the call and listened for a while, gradually revealing a look of shock.
After a while, he hung up the phone and looked at Zhuang Tang Weijia again. His eyes were no longer as aggressive as before: "The fingerprints of the deceased were detected on the broken glass in the cafe. It seems that we came here for nothing. The Gothic Lolita who went to the cafe at noon was indeed the deceased."
Zhuang Tang Weijia stroked his chest and relaxed: "In this case, I am completely clear of suspicion."
Seeing Inspector Yasa nod reluctantly, she couldn't help but smile a little, but quickly restrained herself: "Just now, in order to cooperate with the investigation, I was embarrassed to speak - in fact, I have an appointment with a client in the afternoon, and it's almost late..."
She raised her wrist to check her watch.
But when he raised his hand halfway, he was suddenly stunned.
The next moment, Zhuang Tang Weijia took out his cell phone as if nothing had happened, checked the time on it, and continued what he had just said: "I'm almost late."
"Wait a little longer." Although Inspector Yasa's suspicion of her was reduced, he still felt that something was wrong with this woman. "This is a murder case. The client will understand you."
Zhuangtang Weijia still wanted to leave, but Inspector Yasa tried to stop him.
Amid the chaos, Miss Spider drove her puppet, stood at the edge of the crowd, and quietly observed the scene.
Not long after, her eyes slightly shifted and gently fell on Jiang Xia, looking at him with a little curiosity - she seldom came out to support the puppet, and now she suddenly became a human, and she couldn't see the psychic master tinkering with something furtively, so she was a little uncomfortable for a moment.
…
Jiang Xia had just taken advantage of the chaos to switch back to his original body, and was now looking down to send a message to Sheriff Anna.
After pressing the send button, he raised his head and glanced at the corridor behind the store.
——Conan seemed to be moving in that direction.
Jiang Xia: “…” If I remember correctly, further along the corridor, Okiya Subaru was still hiding in the bedroom.
I don’t know how things will turn out if these two people meet... It’s interesting, let’s play with it for a while.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhuang Tang Weijia, who had hurriedly gotten rid of Inspector Yasa's obstruction and was about to leave the store, and suddenly spoke:
"Are you in such a hurry to leave because you want to quickly dispose of the evidence hidden nearby?"
"Evidence?!" Zhuang Tang Weijia was irritated by the word, "There are Mihiro's fingerprints on the cup, and she was the one who went to the cafe! And in this case, I went to the same store within ten minutes after she left, so I didn't have time to go to the restroom in the park to kill someone - you can't figure out such a simple thing? I think your reputation as a detective is hype!"
Jiang Xia listened to her angry voice and searched her body carefully, but still found nothing.
——When she was angry with Conan just now, Zhuangtang Weijia clearly showed some murderous intent, but now facing him, she was unwilling to show any more murderous intent.
Jiang Xia: “…” Differential treatment, this is blatant differential treatment.
But in this kind of situation, it all depends on the other party's mood and there is no way to complain.
Jiang Xia could only swallow his words silently and not care about such a small matter:
"When the deceased entered the store, she had thick lipstick on her lips. But although the broken cup in the store had the deceased's fingerprints on it, there was no lipstick mark - was that really the cup she used in the store?"
Zhuang Tang Weijia froze for a moment, and forced a smile: "You don't understand, if lipstick gets on the rim of the cup, you have to wipe it off immediately, that's what we ladies should do."
When Inspector Yasa heard this, he also felt that something was wrong and that he had caught the murderer by the tail.
He snorted coldly: "Think about this before you say it - even if it has been wiped, we can still detect it."
Zhuang Tang Weijia's mind worked quickly, and upon hearing this, he actually changed his words:
"She must have not drunk it at all, but only touched it with her hand, so there are only fingerprints and no lip marks on the cup. If the waiter failed to put the cup in a place where she felt it was convenient, she would probably pick it up again and adjust its position. It's normal to play with it when she's just waiting for someone."
"This is indeed normal, but your behavior is not normal." Jiang Xia said, "You sat in the seat where the deceased sat, so you knocked over her water cup. But in fact, when normal people have an appointment with friends, if they show up and see that their friends are not there, they will usually sit on the opposite side of their friends' seats.
"But you chose to sit on the side where the water cups were placed, and you happened to drop the cups, and the water in the cups happened to splash onto the menus, tables, and chairs. When you wiped those places, you happened to wipe off all the fingerprints left by the deceased, leaving only traces of her presence on the broken pieces of the water cups..."
"Too many coincidences are probably not coincidences."
Having said this, Jiang Xia suddenly paused.
——For some reason, the moment the words fell, Vodka’s big square face suddenly appeared in front of him.
Jiang Xia: “…” The brainwashing power of this bucket of ice cream is really strong. After listening to him and Gin talking so much, even I, the person involved in Uzo, couldn’t help but link "coincidence" with "Uzo".
