Chapter 2194 2205 [Case Closed]
Jiang Xia nodded: "Although there is more than one restroom near the ice rink, this is the only one with a special floor that can be entered wearing skates. To go to other places, you must change shoes - this way, even if the restroom is temporarily cleaned, there will definitely be people who are too lazy to go elsewhere and want to wait here and try their luck."
Suzuki Sonoko slammed her fist on her palm: "Indeed, there were two or three other people waiting with me at the time. They are all eyewitnesses!"
Jiang Xia looked at the police officer when he heard that.
The young police officer said consciously: "I will go find them and ask them."
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Vermouth looked at his back, then looked at Inspector Megure: "..."
...I really have to be careful when I meet the police next time. There is nothing to be afraid of ordinary policemen, but I am afraid that they may be connected to the Internet without knowing it.
But looking at Judy who was playing with a 5-yen coin next to her, and thinking about the gang behind this woman, Vermouth's tense body relaxed silently.
Vermouth: “…” It’s not a big problem. At the moment, it seems that Uzo’s attention has been attracted by them.
I hope the FBI doesn't let down at the critical moment and can hold on a little longer.
An organizational cadre expressed beautiful and simple wishes to a hostile organization.
…
Next to him, another organization cadre was simply helping the police solve the case.
Jiang Xia looked at Sano Izumi:
“You first arranged with the deceased to meet in the ladies’ room, and after she went in, you put up a ‘cleaning in progress’ sign on the door.
“After the others who were using the restroom left, you locked the outer door, took out the shotgun you had taken from the storage room, and walked to the single room where the deceased was.
"You threatened her with the gun, controlled her movements, and then timed it. One minute before the fireworks display started, you blew the coin and shot her."
“After committing the murder, you took the deceased’s hand and used it to write the letter ‘S’ on the wall in blood.
"You then left your shotgun at the scene and ran on your skates to the fireworks viewing area, dropping your black jacket that was used to conceal your figure.
"It took less than 30 seconds to sprint from the restroom to where we were watching. You managed to get to us before the fireworks started and found us, your 'alibi witnesses'.
"Your other two companions usually come to watch the fireworks, but the unsociable Oda Kunitomo has no interest in such things. You anticipated this development, so you can safely pin the murder on Mr. Oda."
Beside them, Yasuharu Misawa and Yoriko Komatsu were dumbfounded. They looked at Izumi Sano and said, "Koizumi, are you really..."
Sano Izumi suddenly sneered: "What you said makes some sense - but besides me, the two guys next to me can also use the same method to commit crimes, right? Why do you only suspect me?"
Yasuji Misawa: “?!”
Komatsu Raiko: "?!"
The two innocent fools were stabbed in the back and were speechless for a moment: "Xiao, Xiaoquan, what are you talking about!"
Jiang Xia manually blocked the two passers-by who didn't show much murderous intent, and looked at Sano Izumi: "Do you know the three letters 'KIX'?"
Sano Izumi thought of the cell phone that the police had just found in the deceased's pocket: "I remember you said that it was the garbled code that Chihiro played before she died."
Jiang Xia shook his head: "That's not garbled text, but the specific letters she quietly reached into her pocket and pressed when you blocked her mouth with the muzzle of a gun - that's the real death message she left behind."
Sano Izumi came to his senses: "So what does this have to do with me? These three letters have nothing to do with me, why do you keep chasing me and biting me!"
Jiang Xia: “I remember the deceased half-jokingly said that Mr. Oda was the most ‘unsociable’ - this probably did not refer to his personality, but something else.
"You, the deceased, and your other companions, whose names are Chihiro Itami, Izumi Sano, Yoshiko Komatsu, Yasuharu Misawa, and 'Narita' who died in an accidental discharge six months ago."
It's nothing if they are mentioned individually, but when these names are read together, they sound more and more familiar.
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly remembered: "These are all the names of airports - Narita Airport, Komatsu Airport, Misawa Airport, Itami Airport... Hmm?"
Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin and said hesitantly, "It seems there is no 'Sano Airport'."
Jiang Xia: "KIX is the code name of Kansai International Airport. This airport is in Izumisano City, Osaka. The three letters left by the deceased refer to Miss Izumisano, who is related to the name."
Judy was stunned when she heard this: "You Tokyo people are really quick-witted. You even have time to come up with a puzzle like this before you die."
Jiang Xia: "From the fact that the deceased kept it a secret and asked, 'You didn't all notice it, did you?', it seems that she had noticed this coincidence for some time and must have been very familiar with which airport was referring to which person.
"Maybe she was worried that if she wrote too bluntly, the murderer would find out, so she had to leave a code name, hoping that someone could understand her message before her death."
Mao Lilan sighed: "Fortunately she met you."
Vermouth: “…” Naive Angel.
Izumi Sano never expected that the stupid woman would have such a little trick.
Her knees felt weak for a moment, and she almost gave up and fell to the ground. But in the end, a certain belief supported her to stand up again: "Just relying on these three inexplicable letters, you want to ruin my life? Evidence... You have no evidence!"
"Of course there is evidence." Jiang Xia signaled her to stay calm, then turned to Inspector Megure, "There is a strange bloodstain on the floor near the toes of the deceased's left foot."
"Huh?" Inspector Megure hurried to look for him, and the others also came closer to take a look out of curiosity.
Looking down, there was indeed a finger-long straight blood line at the feet of the dead man. There were two small vertical horizontal bars at the end of the blood line, and the whole thing looked like a blood-red long sword with two parallel hilts.
Inspector Megure: “Could this be…”
Jiang Xia: "The long line was made by the victim's skates, and the two short horizontal lines were made by Miss Sano's skates when she approached the victim, grabbed her hand and wrote an 'S' to frame herself. She accidentally stepped on the blood and left the marks.
"There are similar marks in the corridor, which should have been stepped on when she fled in a hurry."
Jiang Xia looked at the ice skates in Sano Izumi's hand: "The amount stained is not much after all, Miss Sano probably didn't notice it herself. But this amount of blood can be clearly detected."
“…”
Sano Izumi's grip loosened and the ice skates he was holding fell to the ground with a clatter.
After a long while, she slowly revealed a sinister smile: "Such a small mistake was actually discovered by you... If you hadn't suspected me because of that 'KIX' before, you wouldn't have focused your attention on me so quickly."
