Chapter 212 Fingerprints on the Tie

On Tuesday, August 6, at the door of lawyer Xun Zhuangping’s home.

Seeing Lawyer Xun leaving without even entering the house, Mumu Police Department asked, "Maoli, what do you think about this incident?"

"Mumu Police Department, since there are fingerprints of strangers, it should be a murder by robbers," Maori said, "After the robbers broke in, they broke through the shelter and attacked Mrs. Sunda, and then they may have realized that killing is more important. He was charged with serious crimes, so he ran away in a panic."

Mumu Police Department asked: "Didn't you just say that Lawyer Xun is the murderer?"

"Just now I thought Yamazaki saw Lawyer Tatsumi," Mori said, "and Lawyer Tatsumi had a motive... Oh, by the way, the Meguru Police Department, this may be Mrs. Tatsumi's affair, they made an appointment at Meeting here, ensuing altercation, and then the guy with the tie..."

"Well," after thinking for a while, Mumu Police Department said, "It makes sense." Then he asked, "Then what clues do you have about this person?"

"Only these, this is what Lawyer Xun told me, Mrs. Xun often goes, it may be the place of tryst." Mao Li said and handed over the recorded information to Mumu Police Department.

The Mumu Police Department said: "Then start the investigation from these places first, and find out this person first."...

In the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

Mori and the Megure Police Department went to the Metropolitan Police Department, and Yamazaki, Ran and Conan came back first.

When Mei Daizi, Qingzi, and Lan went upstairs to watch Kaito's magic show, Conan said to Yamazaki, "Yamazaki, tell me again, in more detail."

"It's useless to say it again and again," Yamazaki said, "I really have no way to confirm that the person who drove to Lawyer Tatsumi's house was Lawyer Tatsumi himself."

"Now we can only confirm that Mrs. Xun was fine at one o'clock in the afternoon. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lawyer Xun left the hotel," Conan said, "The hotel, Lawyer Xun's house, and the garage are almost in the same line. , according to what you said, the car will come out in a short time after entering, so there is no problem at all with this little time difference."

Yamazaki said: "Yes, it would be great if I could know the exact time. Uh..." At this point, Yamazaki suddenly understood the difference between the living and the dead, and said to himself, "So that's the case, as expected of a lawyer , What a good idea."

"What, what?" Conan asked.

Yamazaki asked: "Tell me, in this matter, what is the difference between the living Mrs. Sunda and the dead Mrs. Suna?"

"What living and dead ones, Mrs. Xun is almost dead now, uh..." Conan asked in surprise, "You mean Mrs. Xun's injuries were caused by Lawyer Xun intentionally, and Lawyer Xun used this to confuse time? "

"It can also alleviate suspicion," Yamazaki said, "Lawyer Tatsumi has every chance and time to kill Mrs. Tatsumi."

"If Mrs. Xun is dead, the exact time of death can be confirmed after an autopsy. But now, as soon as Mrs. Xun is found alive, the first thing that comes to mind is not the injury examination, but sending to the hospital. The injury will have to wait until the rescue is over, and at that time, there is no way to confirm the exact time, only an approximate time," Conan said with a smile, "This creates a blind spot, what an exciting opponent."

"Excited? Think about how to expose him first," Yamazaki said. "With this blind spot, Lawyer Tatsumi will be invincible."

Conan smiled and said, "It's not because you didn't see him."

"As long as there is no way to confirm when Madam Sunda is,

He was injured somewhere, even if he saw Lawyer Xun, it was just one more suspect. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lawyer Xun should have let us know on purpose, because the hotel is only about 20 minutes away from Lawyer Xun's home. Twenty minutes, from 1:20 to 2:20, within an hour, many things can happen. Yamazaki said, "As for the injury test, I don't know when I will have to wait until then. It would be good if we can infer Mrs. Sunda's injury time to between one and three o'clock this afternoon." In contrast, the person who left the fingerprints is more suspicious. If there is a lawsuit, Lawyer Xun has a good chance of winning. "

"Yeah, maybe there are fingerprints on the tie, so there is no need to file a lawsuit." Conan said, "Unless it can be proved that Mrs. Xun was injured in the hotel."

"It must be there. The time is between 1:30 and 1:50 in the afternoon," Yamazaki said. Ten to two o'clock, ten minutes, even if there was a fight, it's easy to clean up without traces of blood, and I don't think there was a fight."

"That's right," Conan said, "If you speak from behind, you can subdue him at once."

At this time, Maori shouted from the front: "Yamazaki, bring a dozen beers here."

"Uncle Mori is back." Yamazaki said, went to get a dozen beers, and walked over with Conan.

After Mori downed a can of beer in one go, Yamazaki asked, "How's it going, Uncle?"

"The fingerprints on the necktie of the murder weapon came out," Maori said, "There are two fingerprints, one is Madam Sunda's, and the other is the person who left fingerprints on the doorknob."

"There is no lawyer Tatsumi?" Yamazaki asked.

Conan asked, "What are the fingerprints on the tie?"

"There are no fingerprints of Lawyer Xun," Maori said while eating, "The fingerprints on the tie are a bit deformed..."

"Deformed and out of shape?" Yamazaki said in an interface, "That means the fingerprints were left first, and I wore gloves when I did it."

"It's not certain." Mao Li said, "But there are fingerprints on both ends of the tie, which can be sure that this person is the murderer."

"The murderer? The tie should have been bought by Mrs. Tatsumi for her affair partner, so the fingerprints were left by him, right?" Yamazaki asked, "The Megure Police Department thinks he is the murderer?"

"Yes." Mao Li said, "Because there is no trace of search in Lawyer Xun's house, it can be ruled out that it was done by robbers."

"Uncle, what news do you have?" Conan asked, "How is Madam Xun?"

"I haven't woken up yet. The police department of Mumu asked Dr. Asai," Mao Li said, "If Mrs. Xun can't wake up within three days, it will be bad."

Yamazaki asked: "Has the injury been checked? Has the exact time of the injury been found out?"

Conan asked, "Have you checked the room next to Lawyer Xun's office?"

"There was a strangled scar on Mrs. Sun's neck. It was judged that she was attacked from behind, and she was strangled immediately. The time of the injury was between one and three o'clock this afternoon." Mao Li said, " Lawyer Xun's office and the room next door have been checked carefully, and there is no problem." Then he said, "Madam Xun's affair partner has not been found yet, that's all."

"Then uncle, take it easy." Yamazaki said with a smile.

Back in the rest area, Conan said: "It seems that the murderer is Lawyer Xun, but unfortunately there is no evidence, and there is no fingerprint of Lawyer Xun on the tie, and I don't know how he got that tie."

"I do have a speculation that maybe it can be proved that Lawyer Tatsumi did the trick at the hotel," Yamazaki said, "but you need to know about the affair partner."

"How?" Conan asked, "Because there is only one scar on the neck?"

"Yes." Yamazaki said.

Conan said: "It seems that we have to wait until the person who is having an affair is found."...

The next day, August 7th, the morning paper on Wednesday published the story of Mrs. Sunda in a large space, and said that the focus of the current investigation is on Mrs. Sunda's friendship.

In the morning, after nine o'clock, Maori Detective Agency.

"Alas," Maori sighed after reading today's morning paper, "another business has failed."

"There's no way around that," Lan said.

Yamazaki asked, "Uncle, do you have the phone number of the Megure police department?"

"No." Molly said.

At this time, the phone rang, and Mao Li answered the phone. It was from the Mumu Police Department. Mrs. Sunda's affair partner came to the Metropolitan Police Department after reading the morning newspaper. The Mu Mu Police Department asked Mao Li to come.

A meeting room in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Maori, Yamazaki, Ran, and Conan saw Mrs. Tatsumi's affair with Mrs. Tatsumi, who was brought in by police officers Shiratori and Sato. He was a fair and clean man in his thirties. He introduced himself: "My name is Hirose, I am a Designer, Kazumi is having an affair with me."

Lawyer Xun said angrily, "So it was you." Then he pointed to Mr. Hirose and asked, "Why do you want to kill Kazumi?"

Maori asked: "Mumu Police Department, did you ask us to come here?"

Megure Police Department said: "Mr. Hirose wants to confront Lawyer Tatsumi, and may have some questions for you."

"I didn't. I definitely didn't do what happened to Kazumi," Mr. Hirose asked back. "A person who is about to leave her husband and marry me, why should I kill her?"

"Married?" Lawyer Xun was taken aback.

Mr. Hirose said: "Stop pretending, you already knew about this."

"I really don't know." Lawyer Xun said, "I told Detective Maori yesterday, I just suspected Kazumi." Then asked, "Is that true, Detective Maori?"

"Not bad," Molly said.

"So, how do you explain that tie?" Mr. Hirose asked, "She bought that tie for you, but it doesn't have your fingerprints on it. Any good evidence?"

Officer Shiratori asked, "Mr. Hirose, you said the tie belonged to Mr. Tatsumi, so why are your fingerprints on it?"

"I was there when Kazumi picked out the tie," Mr. Hirose said. "I've held this tie, so it has my fingerprints on it."

"I don't remember ever asking her to buy a tie like that." Lawyer Xun said, "It's all your fingerprints on it, so it should be bought for you."

"Damn it!" Mr. Hirose exclaimed.

Officer Sato asked, "Mr. Hirose, where were you between 1:20 and 2:30 yesterday afternoon?"

"I, I went to Lawyer Tatsumi's house." Mr. Hirose said with difficulty.

"What are you talking about? There is no alibi." Lawyer Xun said with a smile, "I advise you to surrender as soon as possible."

Mr. Hirose said: "I was framed by you." He took out a fax and said, "Kazumi said she was waiting for me at home at two o'clock in the afternoon. But after I rang the doorbell, no one came Come to answer the door, and then I saw that the courtyard door was not closed, so I went in and took a look, and tried to pull the door handle of the gate."

Officer Shiratori asked, "So, Mr. Hirose, can someone prove that you didn't go in?"

"No, no." Mr. Hirose said. ...
