Chapter 2175 2186 [Uzo only handles murder cases] Ask for monthly tickets (`)
Judy had just heard Oiso's sister talk about the preciousness of the necklace, and at this moment, a "jewelry designer killing a police officer" incident popped up in her mind.
After a moment, she came to her senses and immediately shook her head to get rid of the strange idea in her mind - how could she start to imagine a murder case? As a righteous person who respects human life, this shouldn't be the case.
After Officer Takagi finished speaking, he looked at Inspector Megure expectantly.
Inspector Megure: "... Well, we still need to collect detailed evidence about the swimming pool. Let's not disturb our colleagues in the forensic department. Let's first ask a few eyewitnesses about the situation."
Officer Takagi: "Ah? Then my reasoning..."
Inspector Megure quickly climbed up the swimming pool, leaving this embarrassing little brother behind.
…
The three people most closely related to this case are, of course, the deceased's fiancé, half-sister, and hotel manager.
Because the missing necklace might also be an important clue, after listening to the detective's advice, Inspector Megure pushed the timeline of the inquiry forward and asked in detail who had the opportunity to come into contact with the deceased's necklace.
Then it was discovered that all three people were suspects.
"You all applied sunscreen to the dead?"
When applying sunscreen, the deceased was lying on a chair and could not see what was behind him. The clasp of the necklace also fell behind him, which was indeed a good opportunity to steal the necklace.
Inspector Megure: "..." Why did so many people apply the paint on the deceased? She only has one back, so did she apply it three times in a row? How afraid of the sun must she be!
The elderly hotel manager explained, "Ms. Oiso thought I was clumsy, and she sent me aside not long after I started applying the paint."
Sister Oiso also said, "I just had a manicure recently. My nails were a little long and I accidentally scratched her, so she was driven away after just a few strokes."
Fiancé: "I finished painting the rest of the area, and not long after that she noticed the necklace was missing and started fishing for it in the pool."
Inspector Megure sighed helplessly: "I thought that by asking who has applied sunscreen, I could screen out the most suspicious targets, but now... this sunscreen application is really a big deal."
Oiso's sister was even more helpless than him: "My sister has always had this little hobby - she often asks men she doesn't know to help her zip up her dress, or says she seems to have a fever and asks others to touch her forehead. She finds other people's embarrassed reactions funny, and it was probably the same today."
The fiancé nodded: "That's also her lovely side."
As the two talked, they began to reminisce about the past, as if they had a very good relationship with the deceased.
Suddenly, a depressing sound came from beside my feet.
Conan interrupted innocently: "I remember the deceased's sister said before that her fiancé and her sister had a very good relationship and even lived together in a guest room - is that true?"
“?!”
Two glances whizzed towards Conan.
Almost at the same time, countless eyes shot towards the fiancé and Oiso's sister who were looking at the deceased.
Conan looked at his fiancé like a ruthless repeater: "The deceased's sister said that you and her sister wanted to collude to seek the inheritance, and frequently met in this hotel, and said that the hotel manager helped to provide the room.
"So when the deceased's sister was leaving, she said she was going to kick all three of them out of the house!"
In other words, all three had motives.
Jiang Xia touched the elementary school student's head with appreciation.
Next to him, Inspector Megure's eyes became sharp.
Sister Oiso quickly said, "That's not the case. Sister misunderstood us! - Actually, it's because her birthday is coming soon, so we wanted to give her a birthday surprise."
The fiancé came back to his senses and said, "Because Yongmei has always liked this hotel and would stay in the top suite here every now and then, we wanted to decorate the suite in advance to celebrate her birthday.
"Because it was a surprise, we discussed it without telling her and often went in and out of the suite. But she seemed to regard this surprise as a sneaky secret meeting - oh, I should have thought of this earlier, after all, she has been a jealous person since she was a child."
Mao Lilan caught the key words of childhood sweethearts: "Since childhood? Have you known each other since childhood?"
The fiancé said, "Yongmei and I were classmates in high school, and we have been dating since then."
Conan: "But the trust between you doesn't seem very strong."
The fiancé didn't say anything, but Oiso's sister next to him spoke up: "Maybe it's because my sister likes that suite too much. She once forced a guest who had made a reservation to stay in that room. So when she knew I had also entered that suite, she got angry and started to think wildly - but please believe me, my brother-in-law and I are really innocent!"
Miwako Sato is good at catching criminals, but she is a mess when it comes to solving love cases.
She rubbed her brows in a panic, and suddenly remembered something. She leaned over to Jiang Xia and asked in a low voice, "I remember you also handled many commissions to catch mistresses - in your opinion, are they really having an affair, or are they just misunderstood?"
Jiang Xia felt that his image had become a little strange, and quietly corrected himself: "In fact, I asked others to handle most of those cases. There were also some..."
In some cases, the client or the target of the investigation died before the investigation even began, and then the commission changed from "catching the mistress" to the familiar 3-choice 1.
In short, he had handled cases involving mistresses, but most of them ended up being murder cases.
Sato Miwako came to her senses belatedly and slapped her forehead in condemnation: "..." What was she asking a high school student? If the mixed-race boss really pushed this kind of commission to Jiang Xia every day, then he should be investigated carefully.
As for those clients who died on the way to their commission...well, maybe this is the retribution for leading students astray and committing adultery, corrupting morals?
Miwako Sato silently immersed herself in philosophy and began to ponder.
Next to him, Inspector Megure pricked up his ears and listened for a while, but didn't hear any useful information. He couldn't help but condemn his subordinates in his heart for not doing their job and leading the detective who was concentrating on solving the case astray.
In short, when it comes to cheating, no one can explain it clearly for the time being, except the person involved.
Inspector Megure then randomly sent a few police officers to question the hotel staff, and then shifted the topic from "catching the mistress" to the main business:
"Since we can't clear our motives for now, let's look at your alibis first - where were you each at the time of the crime, and what did you do?"
In this case, we cannot just listen to the parties involved.
So before that, the police followed Jiang Xia to find a third party - the front desk responsible for swimming pool reception.
The receptionist was a young woman with glasses and student-like bangs, and she looked like she had just graduated.
