Chapter 3408 3420 [Traitor's Clothes]
Daye Yuemin choked and murmured, "This, this is because..."
Officer Takagi, who occasionally slacked off and listened to the radio, immediately understood what Jiang Xia meant. He slammed his palm and looked at the suspect with sudden realization:
"You weren't actually sitting in the stands watching the game. You were hiding in the bathroom, listening to today's broadcast, right? The situation you described must have been a result of your imagination after hearing the broadcast about the game!"
The long-haired man panicked for a moment, then after a moment he remembered something and quickly pointed at the burly man with glasses:
"I just accidentally used the wrong word like him. You can't assume I'm a murderer just because I'm not good at Chinese! — I was actually sitting in the audience with the Nova team at the time. If you don't believe me, go check my ticket!"
Jiang Xia shook his head and pointed at his clothes: "You should be glad that you chose to hide in the bathroom instead of sitting in the audience."
Daye Yuemin was startled and subconsciously lowered her head to check herself.
But no matter how you look at it, what he was wearing seemed to be just a Nova team cheering jersey, and there was nothing strange about it.
The other two suspects looked at him curiously. Suddenly, the fashionable woman standing behind him noticed something was wrong.
"This number...are you trying to make fun of me?" The fashionable woman pushed aside his long hair hanging down his back and saw the number printed on his clothes, as well as the corresponding player.
There were a few clear letters, "HIGO", and a number, "9".
To an ordinary person, it might just be some random printed words. But the fashionable woman recognized it immediately and said in shock, "Isn't this Higo's number 9 uniform?"
"You're actually wearing a traitor's uniform!—The detective was right. You weren't even in the stands at the time. If you were wearing that and sitting among the Nova team's spectators, you would have been beaten to a pulp!"
"You're really a fake Nova fan! Before leaving Nova, Higo was the team's most popular star, so the number 9 jersey is the most common on the market. You must have been trying to pretend to be a fan and bought a random piece of clothing, and you just happened to get this!"
Daye Yuemin's head buzzed. He looked down at his clothes, unable to believe that he had made such a low-level mistake.
"But..." He gritted his teeth, "But what does this prove? Even if I'm a fake fan, even if I didn't watch the game, does that mean I'll definitely kill someone?"
Inspector Megure moved guiltily and whispered to Jiang Xia, "Yes, if there is no substantial evidence and we only rely on these..."
"Of course there is substantial evidence." Jiang Xia pointed at Daye Yuemin and said, "The most favorable evidence is actually on this gentleman's arm."
"Arm?" Everyone turned to look at the long-haired man. "You mean the mark on his wrist from the watch strap? But doesn't that just mean he's been on a packed train?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "I'm talking about the mark on the inside of his upper arm where the weapon was pressed."
Long-haired man: “?!”
Jiang Xia looked at him and said, "Your plan, from beginning to end, revolves around the keyword 'inconspicuous', so you won't allow yourself to do anything that would attract attention.
"If you want to stab a victim to death in a crowded tram, the action of removing the knife must be very covert.
"You must have taken out the dagger after getting in the car, tucked it under your left upper arm, and then crossed your arms across your chest, holding the hilt with your gloved right hand.
"When the tram was about to arrive at the station, you quietly pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim to death, then dropped the knife and blended into the crowd and left."
Officer Takagi came to his senses and quickly walked to the long-haired man and pulled his left hand away.
As expected, there was a deep indentation on the inside of the outstretched arm. Because it had been squeezed so hard by the crowd, even the pattern on it was clearly visible.
The forensic police officer came to his senses and rushed over to take pictures.
Amidst the intense flashes of light, Daye Yuemin sighed and finally smiled wryly. "To avenge my brother, I studied football diligently, pretended to be a fan, and planned a perfect revenge plan... I never expected that in the end, my brother would actually stop it."
"Your brother?" The fashionable woman looked at him, then at Jiang Xia, then back at him again. She couldn't help but say, "You two don't look alike at all!"
"...I'm not talking about him!" The literary atmosphere was broken by the inexplicable train of thought. The long-haired man was speechless for a moment, then said sadly: "I'm talking about my deceased twin brother - he was killed by that bastard Akano a year ago."
Inspector Megure's heart skipped a beat: "Are you saying that your brother was murdered by today's deceased?"...and they, the police, didn't notice it?
Daye Yuemin shook her head: "A year ago, my brother went to watch the Nova team's game. He was fine when he left, but he came back covered in bruises.
“I asked him what happened and he said he had accidentally fallen down the stairs in the auditorium.
"I believed him and thought it was just a minor accident, but that night he suddenly collapsed to the ground holding his head and soon fell into a coma.
"I rushed him to the hospital for emergency treatment, but he couldn't be saved. Three days later, he died. The doctor said the cause of death was a cerebral hemorrhage caused by a sunken skull.
"My parents and I were bewildered and heartbroken, and we couldn't understand why a simple trip to watch a game had turned out like this.
"Then I suddenly remembered that my brother seemed to have mentioned that there was a person named Akano who set up a website called 'Tokyo Hooligan'.
"After the funeral, I found that website and discovered that it was full of Akano's diary. One of them was posted on the day my brother was injured. It read -
"'After today's game, a reckless guy came to me and complained about my website, saying it was having a negative impact on the Nova team... I kicked him right off the stage! How dare he meddle in my business? What a jerk!'"
Daye Yuemin wiped her eyes and said, "I will never forget those malicious words in my life!"
"This..." Inspector Megure sympathized for a moment, then hesitated, "But the person he kicked might not be your brother. There are so many people on the field, and it's bound to be chaotic when they get excited. What if your brother really fell down by accident?"
"No, that's my brother." The long-haired man laughed bitterly. "To confirm, I went to the stadium to find Akano. When he saw my face, he grinned and said sarcastically - 'You're not dead yet.'"
