Chapter 2064 2072 [Stay Away from the Script]
Jiang Xia walked closer to the bathtub and took a look inside.
There was a shallow layer of water at the bottom of the bathtub. The young woman sitting in it had her clothes wet from bottom to top, but her upper body, which was away from the water, had no signs of splashing water, as if she had not struggled in the bathtub before her death.
At this moment, a flash of silver appeared in his peripheral vision. Jiang Xia lowered his head and found a stapler dropped on the edge of the bathtub. It fell on the silver bathtub and was very inconspicuous.
Jiang Xia pointed at the tiny piece of evidence and said, "It's a bit strange to see a stapler in the bathroom. Let's take a picture of it. Maybe it can be useful."
"Okay." Inspector Megure stepped forward subconsciously, and then realized that this job didn't require him alone. He cleared his throat and called a forensic officer, while at the same time looking out of the corridor into the living room.
"Mr. Xun seems to have calmed down." He looked at Lawyer Xun, who was no longer holding his head in pain, and said to Jiang Xia, "Let's go find him and ask about the situation?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Speaking of this matter, I am actually a witness."
Inspector Megure was startled: "Huh?"
Jiang Xia: "Lawyer Xun came to see me at noon because he suspected his wife was cheating on him and wanted me to investigate the details."
Memu Police Department: "!"
He immediately found Sato Miwako and said, "Go and carefully check the relevant information of Lawyer Xun." Now this barrister is a high-priority suspect.
After all, according to experience, when someone dies at home, the chances of the other spouse committing a crime are high. And when one spouse has a green head, the likelihood of murdering the wife or husband rises sharply.
In short, the problem is huge!
…
"Our relationship has indeed had some ups and downs."
In the living room, Lawyer Xun was not panicked when he heard the police's questioning. He just said calmly and honestly: "I asked the detective to commission me to investigate He Mei's affair, but I really love her.
"I understand that she is young and ignorant, so it is normal for her to make mistakes. So even if she really cheated on me, I would not use murder to solve the problem - not to mention that the matter of 'cheating' is just some uneasy speculation of mine. I am not even sure whether she has a lover or not, so how can I kill someone?"
It sounds quite sincere.
However, Inspector Megure has been reviewing files in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for many years, and his heart has long been as hard as iron - it has no right to decide whether there is a guilty suspect or not, everything depends on the detective and the evidence.
Jiang Xia always felt that something was missing. After a few seconds, he remembered that no one came to report to him this time because Sato Miwako went to investigate the matter of Lawyer Xun.
But it’s not a big problem, as Inspector Megure has many useful police officers under his command.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia casually raised his hand and caught Officer Takagi who was passing by.
Takagi Wataru, who was busy investigating: "?"
Jiang Xia stared at the information in his arms.
Officer Takagi was very busy today, and only when he reminded her did she suddenly remember it.
He slapped his forehead and realized belatedly: "I didn't see you when I entered this crime scene. I thought you weren't here."
In the past, Jiang Xia would encounter a homicide and call the police to summon them. After he arrived at the scene, he would find Jiang Xia to understand the simple situation and then deploy the situation... But this time, just after solving a case, a homicide occurred next door, and the police were the first to rush in.
When Officer Takagi entered the scene, he did not meet a detective, and the process was disrupted.
Takagi Shigeru: “…” As expected, overtime work makes people less intelligent. They actually forgot that Jiang Xia was behind them this time.
He patted his head, which had been dizzy from all the work, and tried to cheer himself up, and showed Jiang Xia the information: "The autopsy results haven't come out yet, but judging from the general condition of the body, the time of death should be between 11:00 and 12:00 noon."
Jiang Xia nodded thoughtfully: "It's just the time for us to discuss the commission at the hotel."
Hashimoto Maya suddenly realized: This is too much of a coincidence, so coincidental that I can tell at a glance that there is a conspiracy behind this.
It seems that his previous intuition was correct. Lawyer Xun consulted with the detective in order to ask the detective to help him prove his alibi.
but……
"No wonder he was so procrastinating before, talking about a simple matter over and over for more than an hour. It turned out that he wanted to make the commission time overlap with the time of death of the deceased, so that Jiang Xia and I would become his alibi."
Hashimoto Maya rubbed her chin like Jiang Xia did, thinking to herself, "But his home isn't too close to the hotel. After discussing the commission, he might not have enough time to rush home to kill. In this case, doesn't he really have an alibi?"
What kind of script did the boss write this time?
As Hashimoto Maya thought about it, she couldn't help but become curious.
After a moment, he came to his senses and shuddered: "..." Stop thinking about it!
His interest in Uzo and his script was a recipe for disaster. Looking back at the times he had tried to figure out Uzo's scripts, none of them had worked out well.
Some detective assistants quietly began to slack off.
Some suspects cooperated very well with the police in describing the situation.
Lawyer Xun sighed, "As you know, I'm very busy at work. After consulting with my clients at noon, several of my clients came to the hotel to talk to me about their next court appearance. I didn't leave the hotel suite until the evening to go home and get my things. But when I entered the room, I found the bathroom door open, and inside..."
At this point, he covered his face in pain, as if he didn't want to recall his wife's tragic death.
"So, you have an alibi for the whole process?" Inspector Megure also scratched his head in pain.
If Lawyer Xun is not the murderer, then they either have to start the investigation from the burglary and murder, looking for a criminal who is unknown whether he exists or not. Or they have to suspect that the lover killed the murderer, and look for the lover who is also unknown whether he exists or not. In addition, it is possible that Mrs. Xun offended her brothers, sisters, friends and colleagues... Thinking about this terrible workload, he is almost bald.
This forced him to think hard. Under great pressure, Inspector Megure suddenly had an idea: "We haven't done an autopsy yet, and there is water under the body. The rough estimate of the time of death may have a certain deviation. Just because there is no time to kill after the commission does not mean there was no time before the commission.
"You could have killed Mrs. Xun at home before going to the hotel, and then quickly asked the detective to testify..."
Lawyer Xun interrupted, "Officer, if you say someone else is the murderer without any evidence, you will be prosecuted."
Memu Police Department: "!"
Oops, I forgot about it because I was busy.
What's worse is that the person opposite is a lawyer.
Lawyer Xun smiled and said, "But you are also thinking about my wife, I can understand. Regarding your suspicion, first of all, I was in the hotel before I asked Mr. Jiang Xia for the commission, and many of my clients and hotel service staff can prove this.
"Besides, even if I went home before that, it doesn't prove that I'm the murderer - right, Mr. Hashimoto next to you?"
