Chapter 2588 2600 [Case Closed]
The suspects started fighting among themselves again.
Inspector Megure stood nearby, silent and silent, just holding the pen and writing quickly: A few people who know each other well can reveal each other's shortcomings, which is much faster than asking one by one.
For example, right now, in less than two minutes, they have already grasped two-thirds of the motivation.
Just as he was thinking, Nan Ze Shang Shan suddenly made a move. He turned to the beautiful female employee and said, "Don't you always curse the president behind his back and curse him to die soon? If there is anyone who wants to kill the president, you must be one of them!"
While the three people were arguing, the forensic police officers were busy doing their work nearby.
They checked each other's areas and their expressions changed slightly.
Inspector Megure noticed immediately: "What's wrong?"
"This..." The forensic officer hesitated, "There is no toxic reaction in other parts of the room, including the bathroom and the kitchen."
——This is different from what Jiang Xia just speculated!
Inspector Megure was also stunned: "The cyanide poison should be difficult to wipe clean in a short time..." He thought, "Could it be that the poisoned murder weapon was hidden on someone's body, so it can't be found in the room?"
Thinking of this, he interrupted the three people who were still arguing and said, "Stop for a moment. Please hand over your belongings for inspection first."
Three people: "Ah?"
…
Although they were very reluctant, the three men had no choice but to cooperate and start searching their pockets as they were surrounded by police.
The things on Nan Ze Shangshan's body were quite ordinary: a watch, a wallet, keys, train tickets, a notebook and a wet handkerchief.
Inspector Megure thought of the poison that was probably wiped off, and his eyes fell on the handkerchief: "Why is your handkerchief wet?"
Nan Ze Shangshan was so angry at the quarrel that he didn't bother to pretend to be an honest man anymore. He rolled his eyes without hiding anything: "Did you forget that I just came out of the bathroom? After going to the bathroom, you have to wash your hands, and after washing your hands, you have to wipe them with a handkerchief. How can they not be wet?"
Mumu Police Department: "..."
He turned to look at the next pile of things, this time it was that of the pretty female employee: in addition to the necessary wallet, keys and wet handkerchief, she also had cigarettes, a lighter and a watch.
The last tall and thin employee also brought the same thing, but...
Inspector Megure stared at his handkerchief suspiciously: "Why is your handkerchief so wet?"
Tall and thin employee: "I sweat a lot, and I don't like to shake my hands after washing. I just wipe them with a handkerchief. It's normal for them to be a little wet."
"Really?" Inspector Megure found everyone suspicious. He waved his hand and said to his subordinates, "Take them all for inspection!"
…
The spectators in the mahjong parlor across the street finished another round of mahjong, while in the financial office over here, the investigation into those items finally produced results.
"Still can't detect any poisonous components?" Inspector Megure looked calm, but sweat began to break out on his forehead and feet.
He couldn't hold on at this time. Without hesitating for too long, he turned his head and looked to the other side: "Brother Jiang Xia, you... huh?"
I didn't see him at first glance, where is brother Jiang Xia? !
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a click, and the door of the bathroom next to me was pushed open, and Jiang Xia walked out.
Inspector Megure: “…” Why did you go to the bathroom too!
"Oh, forget it. Anyway, the restroom has been entered by the three suspects one by one. Brother Jiang Xia won't make a difference." Inspector Megure comforted himself in his heart and quickly continued what he had just said, "No toxic components were detected in their personal belongings. This..."
Jiang Xia didn't seem surprised: "This is normal, because the place where the poison was stained has been wiped by the murderer."
"What?!" After being shocked, Inspector Megure was actually happy in his heart: Hearing these words... it seemed that he could finally get off work!
At this time, Jiang Xia asked: "Do you have iodine?"
"I have some in my karate bag," Mao Lilan answered instinctively, and was slightly startled, "You got scratched?"
Jiang Xia: "It's needed to solve the case."
Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll go get it right away. It happens to be not far from my home."
With that, she walked out the door and ran away.
Jiang Xia didn't seem to want to continue working the night shift. While waiting for the iodine to be applied, he turned to everyone and said, "The murderer knew that the deceased liked to lick his fingers when he counted money, so he found a way to make the deceased do something that he had to do, and that was when the deceased was exposed to the poison."
"Something that must be done?" Maori Kogoro was inspired. He looked at the employee who allegedly forgot to bring his cell phone with a sharp gaze, "No wonder you 'forgot' your cell phone here! - Just make a call to the cell phone, and the deceased will run to answer it, and then touch the poison on the shell. Then you just need to wipe the phone clean while we are busy, and the problem will be solved smoothly!"
Inspector Megure had other ideas and shook his head. "If that's the case, the deceased's hands should have been covered with poison over a large area. But in fact, the only part of his hand that was stained with poison was his thumb. It's hard to be so precise when poisoning a cell phone. I think someone must have applied poison to the computer power supply, such as Mr. Iino who was still operating the computer before leaving get off work."
The tall and thin man was shocked: "I don't have it!"
Jiang Xia nodded in agreement: "Few people would deliberately use their thumbs to press the power of the host. The murderer actually poisoned another place - a place that forced the deceased to rush there and touch the poison with his thumb."
The busy elementary school detective chuckled when he heard this: "You will soon be able to hear the devil's voice that leads the dead to hell."
Police: “…”
Reporters who quietly squeezed in to watch: "..."
Leading to hell?
The voice of the devil?
...This child is not even in the second grade of elementary school, but he has already skipped to the second grade of junior high school. This is truly... a gifted person.
Just as he was muttering to himself, suddenly, a sharp long "buzz" was heard. The sound cut through the corridor and pierced everyone's eardrums, like the dying wail of a banshee, which was creepy.
Inspector Megure was startled: "What's that sound?!"
Officer Sato rushed over following the sound and took in the scene in front of her. She breathed a sigh of relief: "Nothing, the kettle in the tea room has boiled!"
Inspector Megure: "Kettle?"
Jiang Xia walked to the kitchen and looked at the stove: there was a special kettle there. When the water in the kettle boiled, the steam passed through a special passage and caused an explosion.
This sound is not very pleasant, but it can effectively avoid the danger of forgetting to turn off the fire.
"It's safe, but it's too noisy." Inspector Megure was so disturbed by the scream that his scalp numbed. He trotted over and turned on the stove.
At this moment, he looked at the hand that turned off the fire, and it was as if a flash of lightning passed through his mind, and he felt that he understood everything.
