Chapter 2150 2161 [Beat]
Inspector Megure has come into contact with many foreigners, but he has not had many in-depth conversations with them. In short, in his concept, foreigners are similar to aliens, and nothing he knows is strange.
So he didn't listen carefully to Judy's conversation, and just moved forward based on the new clues he had obtained.
Inspector Megure waved his hand and said, "Go search and find the poison needle!"
Police officers began a carpet search of the entire game hall and its surroundings, trying to find the needle-like object that was suspected to be the murder weapon.
But it was nowhere.
"That's strange." Inspector Megure scratched his head. "From what we saw on the surveillance camera, none of the three suspects left the arcade. They can't have any accomplices, right?"
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly had an idea: "Will they be so cruel as to stick the needle into their own flesh and hide it?!"
"..." Jiang Xia reminded quietly, "That could poison people to death."
Suzuki Sonoko: “!”
She also asked in a low voice: "Can't we wipe it clean and hide it?"
Jiang Xia said tactfully: "In theory, it can be considered, but in practice, I don't think the murderer is so... fearless of death."
"Hmm..." Detective Suzuki returned empty-handed and had to continue stroking his chin and thinking hard.
However, Inspector Megure did listen to it. He looked at the three suspects carefully, but unfortunately he didn't notice anyone who looked strange in their behavior.
Inspector Megure had no choice but to say, "In that case, let's search you. This will also help solve the case faster. I hope you don't mind."
The tall and thin man laughed. "Of course I don't mind. But if you search for me, I'm afraid your efforts will be in vain. When that guy died, I was sitting in front of another machine the whole time. The two machines were several meters apart, and I had to operate the machines to fight. If I left during the fight, the big screen would immediately show that my character was disconnected. How could I be the murderer?"
The curly-haired staff member quickly said, "Me too! I came into contact with the deceased a few minutes before the game started, and I never got close to him again after that. During that time, he was still alive and kicking, and he even cursed at several people. I'm not the murderer!"
As they spoke, the two looked at the man in the felt hat and said, "If we are going to search, we should focus on this person - he was the only one who passed by the deceased during the game!"
The uncle in the felt hat was surrounded by two people and gradually became less calm.
He suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Xia: "In this case, this detective is also suspicious - I remember that the deceased had a conflict with them, and he walked over and patted Jiang Xia's shoulder, and then he withdrew his hand as if he was stabbed by something."
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned. She didn't expect that one of her own people was also shot. She said angrily: "What do you mean by 'like being stabbed'? That guy was obviously just scared! He must have done something illegal, so he was so scared after recognizing Jiang Xia - and wasn't the deceased stabbed on the inside of his right arm? He only took a picture of Jiang Xia's hand at the time. There is no way Jiang Xia could have killed him."
This was a well-reasoned and significant improvement, and Jiang Xia nodded in agreement.
When Suzuki Sonoko saw this, she snorted and put her hands on her hips proudly.
The man in the felt hat was not discouraged. He quickly calmed down and said, "In this case, I can't poison the deceased. When I picked up the coin, I passed by the deceased's left hand. He was stabbed on his right hand. I am innocent."
After saying that, he looked at Judy and said, "Come to think of it, this foreign friend also passed by the deceased's chair when he went to watch the fighting match. Her limbs are so slender, it must have been easy for her to poison her."
Judy: “…”
Inspector Megure: "..." How many people are you going to shoot? Do you think our workload is not heavy enough? These old-timers in Tokyo are really troublesome.
He sighed and tried to smooth things over: "How about this, let's search together."
Just as he was looking haggard, a voice suddenly came from the side. Jiang Xia said, "No need to search so many people."
Memu Police Department: "!"
He stopped and looked over in surprise: "Who is it?"
Jiang Xia: "Actually, what the suspects said just now makes sense. If you want to inject the poison into the inside of the victim's right arm, you first need to have been to a specific location. Based on this, I, the clerk, Teacher Judy, and even the uncle who picked up the coin do not meet the requirements."
The only person who had been to the right of the deceased and leaned over to talk to him was the deceased's opponent, "Lucas of Haido Town", Shimizu Takashi.
The surveillance footage from before was still in everyone’s mind. They immediately understood what he meant and looked towards the tall and thin man.
Shimizu Takashi broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
But he soon laughed indifferently: "It's not okay to exclude it so randomly. Didn't your teacher just say that the deceased died instantly after being injected with the toxin? I was not next to him at the time.
"Speaking of which, I am a celebrity in the arcade. Even if the light was dim, there was no way I could have crossed the aisle in front of so many people, run over and stab him to death, and then return to my seat to continue the game."
Jiang Xia suddenly glanced at Judy and said, "In this case, why not let Teacher Judy demonstrate it in practice?"
Judy: “?”
Is she involved in this?
But it was a good thing that the students took the initiative to approach me. Judy felt like she had been hit by a pie in the sky, and she felt that all those reference books she had read were not in vain. She happily stepped forward and asked, "What are you demonstrating?"
Jiang Xia began to secretly push the FBI onto the path of detectives, directing this tool man who was delivered to the door: "Use those two game consoles to play a fighting game with Officer Gao Mu."
"Um?"
The group was a little confused, but the police certainly would not object to Jiang Xia's opinion, and the onlookers in the game hall had even less objection - there was an interesting fight in front of them, why not watch it?
Soon, the two of them took their seats.
After inserting game coins, following a passionate cutscene, the characters controlled by the two people jumped out on the big screen and entered combat status.
There are two characters, one male and one female. At the beginning of the scene, the female character just stood there blankly, while the male character strode forward and punched her with a hook.
This was followed by upward kicks, downward kicks, and forward punches... For a moment, the one-sided sound of beatings filled the entire game hall, mixed with various sound effects when female characters were beaten.
Mumu Police Department: "..."
He whispered to Officer Takagi, "Why don't you take care of our international friends? Why fight so hard? Just make do with the win."
Officer Takagi laughed awkwardly. His expression could not be seen because he was wearing a helmet. All one could see was that his hands and feet in the sensors continued to shake, while the muscular man on the screen was still beating the female character.
Inspector Megure: “…” Tsk, you deserve to be single until 26.
