Chapter 317: There is no safest place in this world
At the becestion of Sosuke Takaji, Kudo Shinichi took the elevator to the fifteenth floor, and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator door, he found that the decoration here was much stronger than that of the eighth floor, which was worthy of being the exclusive floor of the president's office, and the material used in the carpet alone was much more advanced than that of the downstairs.
Kudo Shin looked at the elevator buttons on one side, just as Sosuke Takaji had guessed, the keys had traces of being taped, and judging from the criss-cross sticking, something should have been fixed here before, so that the buttons were always pressed.
Because only in this way will the body of the victim Mika Taniguchi fall on the eighth floor, and the scene of half of her body remaining outside has been maintained, so Eiko Ashiya, as the murderer, wants to change the direction of the body in order to create her own alibi.
With such a painstaking design, why not be cautious? is not only the acting skills when guiding everyone to find the body, but also the impatience to say that the eucalyptus is a robber burglary, all of which are too deliberate and will attract the attention of others.
As a fashion designer, she should know that adding oil and vinegar to the design draft will only have the opposite effect, but she is like this now...... In order to get away with it, he always makes some high-profile moves, isn't it counterproductive?
Kudo Shinichi took out his phone to take a photo and was about to leave, but he noticed a strange yellow stain in front of the elevator door that went up to the fifteenth floor, and not only that, but also a rose petal, which Xiaolan had specially bought at the flower shop before she came.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, it seems that Eiko Ashiya placed the bouquet of roses sent by Xiaolan on the carpet in advance in order to be able to stab Mika Taniguchi to death with all her strength, so she left such traces.
He didn't stay here after taking another photo, because there were no more valuable clues here, and it would only be a waste of time to continue searching, so it was better to let Sousuke Takaji solve the eucalyptus as soon as possible, so that he could take Xiaolan to New Year's Eve as soon as possible.
She was looking forward to becoming a clothing model on the way here, but if something like this happened, the model's business would naturally be ruined, and even the Ashiya brand would disappear.
Gotta find a way to make her happy. Kudo Shinichi stood in the elevator with his hands folded around his chest, and after frowning and thinking carefully, he came to the conclusion that he would take her to a recently opened dessert shop, which had animal-shaped cakes that she should like.
After all, Xiaolan has always missed the sea cucumber man in the Rice Flower Aquarium, and he doesn't know where that thing is cute, generally speaking, girls like dolphins and penguins more.
The elevator door opened, and Kudo Shinichi couldn't wait to hand the phone to Sosuke Takaji, put his index finger in front of his nose, and said with a hearty smile with a mouthful of big white teeth: "Officer Takaji, I found one more suspicious point, look at the second photo." Fujiwara Yu took the phone and saw that the first photo was indeed the same as he thought, and the elevator button had traces of being taped, and after hearing what Kudo said, he quickly pressed the button to look at the second photo.
He was a little confused after seeing the rose petals and pollen on the carpet, after all, he was not present at the time, and he didn't know that Eiko Ashiya had gone upstairs with a bouquet: "What does this mean?" Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he realized that only a few people present at the time knew about it, he rubbed his neck embarrassedly, and sneered: "Hahaha, I forgot that Officer Eagle Division was not there at the time." In fact, Xiaolan gave Ms. Ashiya a bouquet of roses, and she brought the bouquet into the elevator, and we were waiting in the lounge area of the lobby on the first floor. ”
"Oh, then I see what you mean, you think that she put the bouquet directly on the carpet in order to commit the murder, causing the petals and pollen to remain on it, which constitutes evidence of this method."
"That's right." Kudo Shinichi nodded, but he quickly showed a distressed expression and asked, "But Officer Eagle Division, these clues can indeed construct the murderer's methods, but they can't be used as evidence at all." "There is really no way to arrest the criminal without evidence, and Fujiwara Yu, as a police officer, naturally knows it, but he also understands that there is no physical evidence that can point to the murderer at the eucalyptus scene.
The murder weapon was inserted in the victim's chest, so the murderer wanted not to leave her fingerprints during the murder, and the gloves she used have not been found.
You must know that the murderer has now locked on Eiko Ashiya, and in order to create an alibi to eliminate her suspicion, she has no time to destroy the gloves at all, so the gloves are very likely to be on the fifteenth floor or on herself, as long as the gloves are found, they can be knotted.
Fujiwara Yu didn't say it directly, but chose to ask, wanting to see what Kudo Shinichi thought, he still has a good impression of the smart young detective, and it's good to give him a chance to grow, maybe he can become a partner in the future.
He handed the phone back to Kudo Shinichi, and there was a hint of pleasure in his voice: "Then what kind of things do you think can be used as pointing evidence?" Or rather...... How to find it. Kudo Shinichi didn't expect Sosuke Takaji to come and ask him, he vaguely felt that Takaji already knew the answer to this question, but he still thought about it according to the other party's meaning.
A case of guilt is nothing more than the victim, the murderer and the murder weapon, and when all three have been found, the only thing left is to cover up the murder.
Lethal weapon...... Cover up the murderous ...... Well? yes, I haven't found anything like that yet!
"It's a glove!" Kudo Shinichi's voice was inevitably mixed with excitement, he liked the process of reasoning, and he also enjoyed the sense of accomplishment after successfully solving the eucalyptus, he said confidently: "The murderer didn't have time to deal with the gloves, I think he should stay in this apartment building, or...... She was confident enough that the police wouldn't have their eyes on her, so she hid in what she thought was the safest place. Fujiwara Yu raised an eyebrow, he didn't answer, but chose to come to Eiko Ashiya, who was leaning against the wall and holding a crossbody bag.
He restrained his shallow smile and poked the other party's death hole with one sentence: "Miss Ashiya, can you let me check your crossbody bag?" "There is no such thing as the safest place in the world, and if there is an absolutely safe place, what else do they need the police to do?
In this world, accidents happen every day, and murder happens every day. After all, where there are people, there will be crime.
On the contrary, where there are criminals, there will be police officers and detectives who follow the smell of blood, and they will bare their fangs and try to gnaw at the necks of criminals, so that they will lose the ability to escape, and finally be brought to justice.
