Maori Kogoro leaned close to Aoki Matsu's ear and whispered, "Inspector Aoki, this case might be..."

"Yes!" Aoki Matsu nodded, "It is necessary to investigate whether the person who came to this coffee shop is the real victim, Miss Kusase Mihiro."

Qing Musong called the waitress back over and asked, "Excuse me, the first lady in gothic lolita clothes who came in, did you order anything?"

"No!" the waitress replied, "She didn't order anything, but I showed her the menu before she went to the bathroom."

"Then can you lend us this menu to take a look?" asked Aoki Matsu.

"Yes, you can." The waitress replied.

At this time, the capable lady suddenly interrupted and said, "I think there are probably no untouched fingerprints on it."

"Huh!?" Aoki Matsu looked at the capable lady in surprise when he heard that.

The other party looked at Aoki Matsu and said, "Because I accidentally knocked over the cup, and when I picked up the cup, I put the menu on the table that was stained with water. As a result, the menu was also wet. I wiped it off later. Of course, I wiped off the table and the sofa that was splashed with water, so there will be no traces of Miko here."

At the end, the other party suddenly showed weakness and said with some concern: "So, Mr. Inspector, will I be regarded as a murderer?"

[Anxious! The other party is anxious. 】

This was Aoki Song’s first reaction.

Do you understand the principle that “the more you talk, the more mistakes you make”?

Moreover, although it seemed that Ms. Capable had destroyed the fingerprint evidence, in fact she had done more mistakes than she deserved.

why?

Because under normal circumstances, if a cup of water were to spill, it would not be the capable lady who would wipe it up herself, but the waiter in the store would come and clean it up.

"You will become the first suspect in this case. You know why you are a suspect." Qing Musong looked at the capable lady and said without showing any weakness: "So, ma'am, please stay here for now and cooperate with us in investigating this case."

Upon hearing this, the capable lady sighed and then frowned and said, "It's really a headache. The unused water cup also fell to the ground and broke."

"It's broken!" Maori Kogoro was shocked when he heard this, and quickly looked at the waitress and said, "Even if it's broken, the pieces of the cup should still be there!"

"Yes, it is," the waitress replied, "in a non-combustible garbage bag."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked deeply at the capable lady, and then ordered: "Aihara, send someone to find it out."

This capable lady did not understand one thing. When it comes to scientific cases, Aoki Matsu has always adhered to a scientific principle, which is - the more someone talks, the more likely the person who leads the conversation is to be the murderer!

This lady has touched upon all the points of Ke Xue today - if she is not the murderer, who else could be the murderer!

But one thing has to be admitted, the other party's calculation method is very suspicious, and they are still leading the rhythm, but it was done very well and there is no evidence left.

If the other party is really the murderer, she should be careful not to leave any fingerprints. Even if she did, she would wipe them off immediately like breaking a glass, or cover them with her own fingerprints.

Therefore, after the other party sets the tone, the fingerprint evidence found may be wrong.

It’s not that there is a problem with the fingerprint test results, but that the other party may have used various means to obtain such a fingerprint in advance.

This trick was most familiar to Douzi. He used a football to get Suzuki Jirokichi's fingerprint and then opened the fingerprint lock.

Since there is no evidence found in the coffee shop, can we think about it the other way around - find evidence that the capable lady had been there in the restroom?

If we can find him, we can prove that he is the murderer.

Thinking of this, Aoki Matsu took out his cell phone and sent an instruction to Maruta Ayumi who was staying in the toilet.

The police officer who went to search the trash can quickly brought back a broken piece of glass.

"Well, are these the fragments?" Kogoro Mouri asked hurriedly.

The waitress responded, "Yes, this is the only cup that was broken today."

Seeing this, Aoki Matsu said, "I'll ask the forensic department to send it back to the Metropolitan Police Department for inspection."

At this time, the capable lady suddenly said, "Well, do you want to go to the store where Weihong bought the dress?"

When Qing Musong heard this, he rolled his eyes in his heart. He really didn't see this kind of murderer. He knew that he was suspected by the police, but instead of crying out that he was innocent, he kept on leading the pace. Awesome!

You know, under normal circumstances, unless the criminal is caught red-handed, if it is only in the suspicion stage, especially when he is named as a suspect by the police, everyone will say that they are innocent and that they are not the murderer!

But the other party didn't.

Of course, some people might say, isn't the other person a capable lady? Perhaps she is a strong woman like Eri Kisaki.

But even if Eri Kisaki encountered such a situation, she would say something to exonerate herself instead of slowing down the pace of the police's investigation.

There is a difference between the two.

Take what the capable lady said for example - is there any connection between the clothing store and the murder of Kusase Mihiro?

no!

No matter how you think about it, there doesn't seem to be any connection.

But the other party said it, it was obvious that she wanted the police to investigate!

The capable lady was obviously unaware of Aoki Matsu's inner complaints and continued, "I know which store Mihiro usually goes to."

Qing Musong also wanted to know what the other party was trying to do. If he could find a flaw in it, it would be evidence, so he responded: "Then let's go and take a look. By the way, may I ask your name and occupation?"

"My name is Zhuangtang Weijiajia, and I'm a white-collar worker in a company." Zhuangtang Weijiajia replied.

Then everyone came to the Gothic Lolita clothing store "Gothic Lolita Sayaka".

After showing his criminal ID, Aihara Yoji handed Kusase Mihiro's driver's license to the female clerk dressed as a Gothic Lolita in the clothing store and asked, "Excuse me, do you remember whether Miss Kusase has bought clothes in your store?"

"Okay." The female clerk took the driver's license, looked at it and replied, "This lady has come to our store to buy clothes. She also came yesterday evening."

"Did she come alone?" asked Aoki Matsu.

The saleswoman replied, “Yes.”

"So, is she the only one who bought this dress?" Zhuang Tang Weijia suddenly asked.

"No, this dress is an original design of our store that went on sale yesterday. It's very popular. It was sold out all day yesterday."

At this time, Maori Kogoro pointed at Shodo Yuika and asked, "Is this lady among the customers who bought this dress?"

Upon hearing this, Shodo Yuka looked at Maori Kogoro with some displeasure.

However, Kogoro Mori looked indifferent.

"Well..." The female clerk hesitated and looked at Zhuang Tang Weijiajia carefully.

"How could I possibly come to buy something?" Zhuang Tang Weijia defended herself, "I was in a taxi on my way to Fukuoka on a business trip last night, and Weihong called me. That's when I learned about her buying clothes."

Qing Musong looked at Zhuang Tang Weijia. The way she was defending herself and shouting out her innocence was obviously much more normal than before.

"Oh, you went to Fukuoka?" Aoki Matsu asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes." Shodo Weijia replied, "After arriving at Haneda Airport at noon today, I went directly to the coffee shop in Shinjuku."

"Is it true?" asked Kogoro Mori with some disbelief.

Zhuang Tang Weijia said unhappily, "If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate! I took that flight with my colleagues from the company."

Aoki Matsu frowned when he heard this.

Hearing what Shodo Yuka said, if what she said was true, she really didn't have the chance to buy that dress, put on makeup and go to the coffee shop to pretend to be Hisase Mihiro.

But the problem is - Zhuangtang Weijia said too much, and his actions of leading the discussion were too obvious.

From a scientific point of view, she is undoubtedly a very suspicious person.

After thinking about it, Aoki Matsu came up with an idea and immediately instructed Aihara Yoji on a few things and asked him to arrange people to do them.

As for why it was not Aoki Matsu who arranged it, this was to train Aihara Yoji.

Conan on the side also looked at Zhuang Tang Weijia with a serious face.

He had the same idea as Qing Musong. Zhuang Tang Weijia didn't seem to be a criminal who bought clothes, but all the signs showed that she was the murderer! Was she wronged, or did she do it by some trick?

At this time, Mao Lilan suddenly poked her head out of the locker room and called out softly, "Sister Xinming, can you come over here for a moment?"

Hearing this, Shinname Kaori walked over and asked with a smile, "What's going on?"

"We borrowed the changing room of this store to change clothes," said Mao Lilan.

Conan immediately made a dead fish eye when he heard this: "Hey, hey, hey, a murder has happened, and you still want to change into Lolita clothes! 】

Mao Lilan suddenly pulled open the curtain of the dressing room and asked, "How is it?"

Conan was stunned for a moment.

Mao Lilan was wearing a sweet and cute pink Lolita puffy skirt with a big bow tied around her waist, which made her slender waist look so slender that it seemed almost impossible to hold it in one hand.

Shinname Kaori looked Mao Lilan up and down, thought for a moment and said, "The skirt is very cute."

"Sure enough, it's very strange, isn't it?" Mao Lilan said a little disappointedly: "I'm not suitable, right?"

"No, I don't think it's weird!" Conan said with a red face, "Oh no, I didn't expect it to be so cute."

"Really? It's such a waste to show it to a little kid like this." At this time, Suzuki Sonoko also pulled open the curtain and walked out.

But it was a little surprising because she was wearing the same skirt as Mao Lilan.

"Strange, why are you two wearing the same clothes?" Conan asked a question that many people wanted to ask.

"You! You really don't know anything about this kind of thing." Mao Lilan said with a smile.

Suzuki Sonoko said proudly: "This is... a popular trend."

Aoki Matsuya saw the scene that Mao Li Ran and Suzuki Sonoko were wearing exactly the same clothes. He also thought of this and was about to open his mouth to ask the female clerk again, but unexpectedly his cell phone rang.

It was a call from the forensic department. Qing Musong answered and said, "Hello, this is Qing Mu."

"Inspector Aoki, Ms. Kusase Mihiro's fingerprints were found on the broken glass." said the detective from the Forensic Department.

"Okay, I got it." Aoki Matsu responded and then hung up the phone.

[Sure enough...Sure enough, fingerprints were found on the broken glass, but is this glass really the glass that "Kuse Mihiro" was holding at the time? ]

Maori Kogoro came over and asked, "Inspector Aoki, do you have any new clues?"

Qing Mu Song glanced at Shodo Yuka from the corner of his eye and saw that she was paying attention to him. He rolled his eyes and said, "The criminal from the forensic department just called and found the fingerprints of Miss Kusase Mihiro on the broken glass."

Maori Kogoro frowned when he heard this, looked at Shodo Yuka unwillingly and said, "This will make her alibi even more perfect."

But based on his detective intuition, Kogoro Mori also felt that Shodo Yuika was a major suspect.

Zhuang Tang Weijia said immediately after hearing this: "In that case, can I leave now?" He raised his hand to check his watch and said, "It's already..." When he said this, Zhuang Tang Weijia suddenly opened his eyes wide, a look of fear flashed across his face, and then he pretended not to be wearing a watch, took out his phone, took a look and said, "It's already late."

Seeing this, Qing Musong took action directly. He reached out and grabbed Zhuang Tang Weijia's hand that was holding the phone. Before she could react, he pulled her sleeve down with his other hand, revealing not only the watch on her hand, but also several fresh scratches under the watch.

【really! 】

"Miss Zhuangtang, can you explain the scars on your hands?" Qing Musong asked Zhuangtang Weijia.

Zhuang Tang Weijia's face changed, but after a moment of panic, he replied: "I accidentally grabbed it with my left hand when I was sleeping."

"Was it accidental while sleeping? How could such a deep scar be scratched?" Qing Musong was somewhat impressed by Zhuang Tang Weijia's ability to lie with open eyes.

However, after Zhuang Tang Weijia said this, Qing Musong really couldn't do anything about her.

Because these scars can only determine whether it was scratched by a human or a dog or cat, but it cannot determine who scratched it.

"Miss Zhuangtang, because of the scars on your arm, you are now more suspicious, so you cannot leave for the time being. Please cooperate with us in the investigation, otherwise I will take compulsory measures against you." Qingmu Song warned Zhuangtang Weijia.

Then Aoki Matsu looked at the salesgirl and continued to ask the question that was interrupted by Shodo Yuka, "Excuse me, did Miss Kusase Mihiro only buy one set of that dress yesterday?"

"No, she bought two sets!" the saleswoman replied, and then after a moment's thought, she said, "She said she only had time to come in the evening, so she called me in advance to ask me to reserve two sets of the same size for her. She said that this was a very popular item that had been announced to be on sale a few days ago, so she wanted to reserve it before it sold out."

When Zhuangtang Weijia heard what the female clerk said, he froze, but at this time Qingmu Song's cell phone rang again, interrupting Qingmu Song's thoughts and making Zhuangtang Weijia feel lucky.
