Chapter 24: The Flaw of Suspicious Person X
As soon as Lin Xiu left Uragaki's room, he was quickly surrounded by Kanako.
"What did you say to Ms. Umegaaki?" Kanako asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I said that I plan to resign from the Metropolitan Police Department, and I will learn kaiseki ......cuisine from Ms. Umegaki as a teacher," Lin Shuyi said deliberately diverting the topic.
"Can't you tell me a little bit about it?" Kanako asked, feigning anger.
"Let's not talk about this for a while, do you know where there is a fax machine? In a while, the Yamaguchi Police Department will fax the cremation record of Miyu's body and the ashes collection record!" Lin Xiuyi revealed a little bit of the latest progress in the search to her in order to prevent Kanako from continuing to ask. As soon as the words came out, Kanako was really more interested in Rong Suspicious Person X.
"I know, there's one over there at the village office! Hurry up!" Kanako finished speaking and dragged Lin Xiuyi and ran outside.
Fifteen minutes later, the cremation records of Miyu's body and the corresponding ashes collection records faxed from Kofu City were printed out by the fax machine of the Futu Village Village Office, and Lin Xiu thanked the village head, Yamamoto Kengo, and immediately returned to Umegaki House with these materials.
"Ms. Umegaaki, do you have any check-in records for guests from ten years ago?" As soon as Lin Xiu returned to Uragaki House, he immediately found Uragaki Juzi and hurriedly asked her.
"Yes, there is, but these things are all in the utility room, and I'm afraid it will take a little trouble to find them......" Uragaki Juzi replied a little confused, she didn't know what Lin Xiuyi wanted these things for.
"Then I'm sorry for you, I want the days before Ayu was killed, and the check-out record within a week after Ayu was killed, please!" Lin Xiuyi pleaded.
After a period of rummaging, the staff of Umegakiya finally found the check-in and check-out check-in for that period in a dusty cardboard box. Lin Xiu thanked Mei Yuan Juzi and took all these things to his room.
"What are we going to do now?" Kanako asked curiously.
"Compare notes!"
"Comparing notes?"
Kanako didn't understand what Lin Shuichi was talking about at all.
"Have you noticed that the check-in and check-out records of Umegaki House are handwritten, and at the bottom of the record, you can see that the place that needs to be signed by the customer is handwritten by the guest. And now we still have Meiyu's ashes collection records and cremation records in our hands, if suspicious person X has been to Futu Village, then it is very likely that he will choose to live in Umega House, because ten years ago, Umegaki House was the only place where Futu Village could stay. ”
Lin Xiu spread the faxed documents on the table, and the names of these documents were written on the place. And this signature is where Lin Xiuyi focuses on it. According to the known handwriting of the signature, Lin Xiuyi needed to find a signature similar to this handwriting from the records of ten years ago. Thus confirming their conjectures.
This workload is definitely not something that Lin Xiuyi can do alone, Hanagata and Miki both came over to help, starting from getting all the original materials in the morning, and then after seven o'clock in the evening, everyone seriously compared the notes of hundreds of people, and finally found one that was unanimously the most similar.
"Ryosuke Mizushima, is this the real name of Suspicious Person X?" Kanako asked in surprise.
"I'm afraid this name is fake, but now I finally caught his handle!"
Lin Xiu took a look at the time on the wall, and after thinking about it, he decided to inform the Yamaguchi Police Department of the news as soon as possible.
Lin Xiuyi took out his mobile phone, and after the phone was dialed, Lin Xiuyi briefly introduced the new discovery on his side. Then I asked about the suspicious person named Kuranosuke Miyamoto written in the register.
"Police Department, how is your work over there to extract fingerprints from Mei Yu's ashes collection record?" Lin Xiuyi asked anxiously.
"It's not going well, it's been too long, and the branch said that we can only try it!" said the Yamaguchi Police Department with a sigh.
"Police Department, after the murder ten years ago, did you record the fingerprints of the residents under the mountain and the travelers who stayed in Futu Village at that time?"
"Of course we've done this, what's wrong?"
"Police, if you had recorded fingerprints at the time, I can only say that the bloody fingerprint found at the scene of the crime did not belong to the mysterious man who claimed to be Miyu's boyfriend. However, this guy was probably in the village of Futu at the time. And as Ryosuke Mizushima, he left his fingerprints on the police records!"
"Is there any basis for that? Do you mean that this Kuranosuke Miyamoto is not a murderer?"
"No, I just said that the fingerprints didn't belong to him, but he could still be the murderer, and that fingerprint was simply a trick for the murderer to leave at the scene. Lin Xiuyi explained to the Yamaguchi Police Department.
"What is the basis for your suspicions?"
"I typed my name Ryosuke Mizushima on the Uragakiya accommodation record 10 years ago, and I think the handwriting of this signature is very similar to the handwriting left on the collection record of Miha's ashes. ”
"Really, fax the handwriting as soon as possible, and I'll ask my colleagues from the research institute to do another test!"
……
After the call ended, Lin Xiuyi hurried to the village office and faxed the accommodation record to the Yamaguchi police department.
"Xiu Yijun, you said that if this fingerprint is not Rong Suspicious Person X, then who does that blood fingerprint belong to?"
"If my estimate is correct, I'm afraid that fingerprint belongs to Miyu!" Lin Xiuyi said calmly.
"Miyu!" This time it was not only Kanako, but even the flower shape of the companions, and Miki were so surprised that they couldn't speak.
"Yes, but this is also just a hypothesis, but I still have a way to verify my guess!" Lin Xiu said confidently and confidently.
Kanako looked at Lin Xiuyi's confident appearance, and couldn't help but wonder where Lin Xiuyi's confidence came from.
"Xiu Yijun, how did you know that the fingerprints were left by Miyu?"
"Alas, Xiu Yijun, who is the murderer?"
"Yes, why didn't we guess it?"
Lin Xiu took a breath of the fresh air of the night, and felt refreshed in an instant, as if his day's fatigue had disappeared, and then he whispered to everyone: "Have you ever thought that if the murderer can easily escape from the secret room, why would he leave his own fingerprints on the murder weapon that killed Ayu? I have always felt very strange about this. But if you think about it from another angle, if the murderer just wanted to lead the police into an undetectable trap and deliberately set up such a trick, all this seems to have a reasonable explanation. ”
