Chapter 2503-2515 [Case Closed]
Professor Iwama was stunned for a moment, then slowly put on an ugly smile. He looked at Jiang Xia and sneered, "You also said that there is nothing in my recorder. As for the disposable chopsticks wrapper in the water, it's not that I am destroying evidence, it's just that I have low quality and like to throw things around. And the rubber bands and thumbtacks - these are props I occasionally use when binding documents, so it's normal to put them in my bag. Why, you are a famous detective, are you going to convict me based on these baseless things?"
Vodka: “…” Sometimes I really envy these guys, they can yell at Uzo at will… Although they often have to go in or out after yelling, at least they have a moment of happiness.
"Unfortunately, compared with short-lived happiness and long life, of course we have to choose the latter." Vodka sighed and regretfully suppressed some dangerous thoughts. Then he glanced sourly at the professor next to him and snorted coldly: Let's see how long you can be proud of yourself.
Sure enough, not long after, the professor's free life came to an end.
Jiang Xia looked at him and asked, "When you were picking up the food from the delivery boat, did you accidentally spill the puffer fish caviar?"
Professor Iwama smiled confidently: "No."
At the same time, Instructor Arai next to him was stunned: "Ah, yes... How did you know?"
Professor Iwama turned around and stared at the companion who stabbed him in the back: "???"
Instructor Arai scratched his head in embarrassment. "There were too many dishes on the food delivery boat, and the pufferfish caviar was placed on a relatively low plate. When I took the food, I didn't see it clearly and accidentally knocked it crooked, causing some of it to spill."
At this point, he looked at Professor Iwama with a guilty conscience: "I was afraid that the professor would think I was clumsy, so I didn't say it. After all, caviar looks like sauce, so a little less won't be noticeable..."
Jiang Xia nodded: "Anyway, you helped by accident. When Professor Iwama hurriedly sneaked into the food delivery boat, he didn't notice the caviar on the boat and accidentally stuck it on his arm.
"He only noticed this after he returned to his box after killing the man. So when the receptionist screamed in fear and all the guests hurried out to watch the excitement, Professor Iwama's action seemed particularly abrupt - he did not go out directly, but hurriedly put on his coat while running out. This action was precisely to cover up the caviar on his shirt sleeves."
Inspector Megure took a look at Professor Iwama, who was dressed in a suit and tie, and suddenly realized: he had just been impressed by how much the professor paid attention to his appearance and kept wearing a coat even in such a hot store... but it turned out that he did it to cover up evidence?
...and he was really blinded by this little trick.
Thinking of this, the police officer, feeling embarrassed, cleared his throat and said to Professor Iwama sternly, "Please take off your coat so we can check it."
Professor Iwama gritted his teeth and took off his coat. As he did so, he said, "I did have caviar on my arm, but it was accidentally stained when I was looking for my contact lenses. It has nothing to do with the food delivery ship."
Jiang Xia: "There is something you may not know. The deceased Mr. Kaneda left your box before the meal was served, but even so, the same caviar was stained on his right thumb... Guess when and where he got it?"
Professor Iwama was stunned, and the scene of him stabbing Kaneda with a knife reappeared in his mind. Although Kaneda failed to dodge in time, he seemed to instinctively raise his hand to grab him. If he remembered correctly, the place where the hand landed...
"It's your arm." Jiang Xia's voice sounded from the side, interrupting his recollection: "When you sneaked into Box 8 where he was, the piece of caviar was gradually dried in the cabin. If you grab it hard in this semi-dry state, it will leave fingerprints on the other side.
"Also, the food delivery boat is not as smooth as you imagined. Although its surface has been polished, there are many burrs inside, especially between the plywood. Such places can easily catch human clothing fibers and skin dandruff. Are you sure you didn't leave any traces on the boat?"
“…”
Gulp.
Professor Iwama fell to his knees.
"I, I didn't want to kill him either." He covered his face in pain, "But I couldn't help it. I made the same mistake that many professors make."
"?" Vodka's ears twitched when he heard this, and scenes emerged in his mind: Professor Iwama fell in love with his student and couldn't help but attack the student, but that student already had a boyfriend - it was Mr. Kaneda who had just been killed.
The two students were a perfect match, but Professor Iwama used his position to force the female student to follow him. After being angry, Kaneda found that this was a good handle, so he turned around and threatened Professor Iwama to help him get promoted to associate professor to keep him quiet. Professor Iwama was not satisfied with his threat, so he killed him...
I was thinking and sighing when Professor Iwama, who was drinking vodka, continued, "I took several of my students' papers and published them under my own name. Somehow, Kaneda found out about this. He threatened me that if I didn't want this scandal to be exposed, I had to help him get promoted to associate professor with all my strength."
Vodka: “……?”
...I have even written a complex and tortuous tragic love script, and you tell me that I just stole the thesis?
"Although the result is correct, the cause seems to be completely wrong." Vodka sighed for his ability to read Wuzo, and then felt that it was not entirely his fault. "After all, Wuzo is really obsessed with career. He works hard every day to make money and kill people. Even his scripts rarely have love parts."
"But the lack of contact means that his resistance is weak. Maybe the beauty trap will work wonders on him?" Vodka touched his chin, thinking, "If this guy falls in love one day, wouldn't I be free?"
"The honey trap... Vermouth is definitely one of the most beautiful women. The woman from Curacao is also pretty. Chianti... er, forget about that. Let's not talk about her looks. With this guy's brain, she'd be lucky to survive three days next to Uzo."
Vodka began to count the available resources around him, and suddenly he thought of another person: "No matter in appearance or personality, that Maori classmate is also very cute. A dark person like Uzo might actually yearn for light - that's how Miss Yoko plays it in her TV series!"
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Vodka suddenly became active.
