Chapter 2969-2981 [Case Closed]
Okiya Subaru: “…” As expected, not long after, the senior was gone.
At the same time, despite all his precautions, he was still dragged into the situation and almost became a major suspect. If Jiang Xia hadn't been there...
The famous detective, who seemed to be radiating holy light, listened to him while looking towards the door.
At this time, a police officer from the forensic department ran in: "Mr. Jiang Xia, we have extracted a fingerprint from the glass bottle containing the poison - but strangely, it does not belong to anyone in the box."
Jiang Xia looked at the bottle and asked the graduate students present: "Did anyone's coat fall off or their backpack fall over during the party?"
"this……"
The old professor, Subaru Okiya and the short-haired senior suddenly remembered something and they all looked at Senior Togashi.
The short-haired senior hesitated and said, "When I came here early to set up the box, the professor accidentally sat on the wobbly chair and knocked over Togashi's backpack."
Jiang Xia seemed to have seen the exact scene: "Then the contents of the bag spilled out, and a waiter passing by helped to pick them up?"
Okiya Subaru's heart skipped a beat: How does he know so much?
"Really... You are worthy of being a famous detective." After reorganizing the past in his mind, Subaru Okiya seemed to understand why Jiang Xia asked this question. He said to himself silently, "Don't think too much. This must be the kind of reasoning ability that has saved countless people from danger. Yes, it must be like this."
Next to him, the old professor and the short-haired senior student obviously didn't think about anything else. They nodded and couldn't help but reveal a look of slight admiration.
Jiang Xia then said to Officer Sato: "Ask the waitress who helped just now and see if her fingerprints can be matched with the fingerprints on the poison bottle."
Sato Miwako responded, pushed the door open, and soon brought back someone.
…
"Yes, I helped pick it up." The waitress was a young woman in her twenties. She stood at the crime scene, looking a little uneasy. "There was indeed a glass bottle. Because it was made of glass, I took a special look to see if it was broken. I found no cracks, so I put it back into the backpack."
Jiang Xia nodded and pointed to the backpacks in the corner: "Do you remember which bag it fell out of?"
There are quite a few bags in the corner, but fortunately, their styles are distinctive enough - there are leather bags that old-fashioned scholars like to use, a square backpack that looks unusually heavy and sturdy, and a pink schoolbag with cute dolls hanging on it... and among them, an ordinary brown sports bag suddenly doesn't seem so ordinary.
"This is it." The waiter pointed at it.
Senior Togashi's expression changed suddenly.
Others also recognized it one after another: "Isn't this Togashi's schoolbag?"
The old professor shook his head, revealing an expression of grief that was too painful to look at.
Jiang Xia glanced at Senior Togashi, whose face was livid, and said, "You brought this bottle of poison. After adding the poison, you quickly wiped off your fingerprints on the bottle and quietly put it into Mr. Okiya's backpack.
"But you were not in the box when the backpack fell, and you didn't know that anyone else had touched it. In addition, time was tight, so you didn't wipe it carefully. And when the waitress checked whether it was broken, she held it differently than usual. This series of circumstances combined eventually led to you missing the fingerprint that belonged to her."
“…”
He brought a bottle of poison in his bag, and the remaining poisonous fruit pulp in the cup was also extracted. Senior Togashi's legs went limp and he fell to his knees.
"I fell in love with Keiko right after I entered the laboratory and started pursuing her. After a long time and giving her a lot of gifts, I finally got her.
"I thought I would become the envy of everyone and live a sweet and happy youth... But Keiko said that it's not good to tell others about the relationship in the laboratory, and she refused to announce our relationship to others, and also forbade me to tell others.
“Although I was not happy about it, I let her do it and kept my mouth shut.
"In addition, every time we went on a date, she would ask me to buy her a lot of expensive things. In order to satisfy her, I even took out a loan. I gave her everything I could."
"But a while ago, after this guy entered the laboratory, Keiko suddenly proposed to break up with me!" Senior Togashi raised his hand and pointed at Subaru Okiya angrily, as if he was looking at his enemy:
"Later, I secretly read the chat history between Keiko and her friends, and found out that she was actually attracted to this guy - but Okiya somehow found out that she was not single. In order to hook this guy, Keiko actually...actually decided to kick me out and return to her single status.
"What on earth does she think of me as? A scrapped ATM that's standing in the way of her next relationship?
"I cared deeply about Keiko, but she treated me like a piece of trash and threw me away easily - I couldn't stand this kind of trampling!
"So I pretended to break up with her in a cowardly manner and made a careful plan to send her down on her birthday, and then push the murder crime onto Okiya and get rid of these two thorns in my eyes!"
Okiya Subaru: "..."
"I was so careful, why did I still get involved in a murder case? ... Could it be that because I haven't taken the initiative to approach Jiang Xia recently, 'that master' thinks I'm slacking off, so he's punishing me?"
A graduate student sighed wearily, "I just recently took action with Jiang Xia and lost my car, although it was not voluntary..."
"Speaking of cars, why don't I get rid of my current car and replace it with a cheaper, ordinary vehicle, so as to avoid being targeted by similar people again."
Subaru Okiya stroked his chin, feeling that the whole society was full of dangers. He muttered hesitantly, "But now this car has been modified by me, and the safety factor is not comparable to those first-hand cars... Oh, forget it, I won't change it. In any case, car accidents are much harder to prevent than poisoning. To be poisoned, you only need to control your mouth, but car accidents can happen anytime and anywhere."
"As for being treated as a suspect, as long as I can meet a detective like Jiang Xia every time, this danger is not considered dangerous... huh?!"
The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Okiya Subaru was enlightened and felt that he instantly understood what Usa meant.
——Could it be that Lord Wu Zuo really thought that he was not proactive enough in approaching Jiang Xia, which led to what happened today?
…
Soon, the murderer was taken into the police car, crying bitterly.
And a certain squinty-eyed graduate student who escaped the disaster seemed to become a little more enthusiastic than before.
Jiang Xia looked at this subordinate who was quite grateful and nodded with satisfaction.
