Chapter 12561256【Case closed】

Beside him, Miwako Sato poked Jiang Xia and showed him the phone interface.

After handing over the phone, she felt something was wrong - it was obviously the first time she met this high school student, so she shouldn't do what she usually does with Jiang Xia, where she would immediately send over any information she got and then happily wait for the answer. But... there is a vague feeling of familiarity.

Thinking of this, Miwako Sato began to hesitate whether to take her phone back. After all, this was the personal privacy of the Hayase family, and it seemed that it should not be seen by irrelevant people.

 But at this time, Jiang Xia had already taken the phone.

 He glanced at the message above. It was discovered that this was information about "Hayase Tatsuo", the deceased husband of the owner of the house.

Tatsuo Hayase is a bank employee. A year ago, he was hit by an avalanche while climbing a snow-capped mountain to take pictures, and unfortunately disappeared.

 At the time of his disappearance, he was actually suspected of embezzling huge amounts of public funds and was being investigated by the police.

Therefore, some people suspect that Hayase Tatsuo actually designed to fake his death in order to embezzle huge sums of money. But doubts remain doubts, after all, no evidence has been found.

 So one year later, Hayase Tatsuo was still certified as "dead"—it is generally considered dead after seven years of missing. However, if the missing person is clearly involved in some disaster or disaster, it can be changed to "dead" status as long as one year has passed.

Jiang Xia: "..." The detailed information was obtained so quickly and openly. The police officers are so easy to use. Where can I get an exclusive one... There is indeed a policeman in the ghost, but it has been taken away by the dog. I want to see the information. I can only float in and take a peek, oblivious to all the ghosts.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at Matsuda Jinpei, feeling a little regretful.

Matsuda Jinpei pushed up his sunglasses in confusion. After a moment, he felt that he understood something, and floated next to Jiang Xia to look at the phone screen. However, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember who this guy named "Hayase Tatsuo" was, so he became more and more confused.

 Jiang Xia: ...It's okay.

"Now it seems that Hayase Tatsuo probably really encountered an avalanche, but he did not die at that time, but lost his memory, and then started wandering." Sato Miwako whispered to Jiang Xia, "In addition, Hayase Tatsuo He is an orphan and has no relatives. It is difficult to determine the identity of the homeless man through DNA comparison. Unless the traces he left behind can be found here, but..."

 She looked at the two confused cleaners at the door and sighed helplessly.

Megure Police Department is not yet giving up, and his eyes wander to the bedroom and storage room, trying to find if there is anything left by Tatsuo Hayase, maybe he can extract useful clues from it.

Hayase Kimika glanced at him and was keenly aware of the police's helplessness.

She forced a smile on her lips and showed a heavy expression: "Don't look at it. I have thrown away all his things a long time ago. Until now, some people have accused me of embezzling public funds. I just want to get rid of him as soon as possible." Come out of the shadow left on me."

“Does the shadow left on you also include the huge amount of public funds that are still missing?”

Jiang Xia came back to her senses and felt that the waiting time as "Black Feather Kaito" had been long enough and she could fast forward appropriately.

He handed the phone back to the police and looked at Hayase Kimika again: "If Hayase Tatsuo recovers his memory and returns to modern society, he will soon be investigated by the police again, and it will be difficult to hide the public funds. . But if he dies, both you and the inheritance you receive will be completely free."

Hayase Junxiang snorted coldly: "This is just your guess."

Beside him, the Mumu Police Department held the mobile phone handed back by Jiang Xia and looked at the words typed on it at an unknown time, feeling a little confused.

However, taking advantage of my brother’s experience, he decided to do what was said above. He took out his pipe, lit it and took a puff.

As soon as the smoke started to rise, Hayase Junxiang, whose attention was attracted by Jiang Xia, suddenly stood up and looked over angrily: "Don't smoke in other people's homes!"

At the same time, she stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window angrily, and opened the window with a bang to disperse the smell. She couldn't stand the smell of cigarette smoke.

Jiang Xia looked from her side and saw the ginkgo leaves falling in the wind outside the window: "I heard that the soles of the corpse's feet were stained with a ginkgo leaf. In addition, there seems to be a ginkgo leaf on the cabinet in front of your picture frame. Traces of smoke.”

"!?" Hayase Junxiang turned around and looked at him nervously, having a bad feeling in her heart.

 And that premonition soon came true.

Jiang Xia leaned on the sofa, looked at her living room, and said as if telling a story: "After Mr. Hayase was sent to the hospital, his memory unexpectedly recovered. He escaped from the hospital and hurried back home to visit this house that had been completely gone for a year. A changed home. And he has always been interested in paintings and a heavy smoker, so he may have had a cigarette while looking at the paintings."

"..." Hayase Junxiang stared at him with a look as if she had seen a ghost, her eyes were filled with confusion - he, how could he know so clearly? Could it be that this person was hiding nearby and peeking at him at that time? !

Jiang Xia continued: "Judging from the glasses in the photo, he was quite short-sighted, and he lost his glasses after the avalanche, so he developed a bad habit of viewing paintings - just like he did in the gallery before, not only did he He was so close that he would subconsciously pinch the painting with his hands." He suddenly looked at the two innocent-looking cleaning company employees and said, "When you cleaned the living room, you probably didn't wipe the painting."

The cleaning staff looked at each other and said hesitantly: "We only wiped the frame." ...How could it be possible to wipe the painting directly? If it was damaged, even the car outside would not be enough.

Miwako Sato listened for a while, then suddenly she understood what Jiang Xia was going to say: "In other words, when Mr. Hayase was looking at the painting, Mrs. Hayase ran to open the floor-to-ceiling window because she couldn't stand the smell of smoke. And when she When he turned around, Mr. Hayase looked closely at the painting, and because of his uncivilized habit of looking at paintings, he left his fingerprints on the painting? - If Mrs. Hayase had not noticed this, the fingerprints would probably still be there. !”

Mumu Police Department stood up and looked at his subordinates: "Quick, let the people from the forensic department come in!"

“Check the vacuum cleaner and the trash can as well.” Jiang Xia looked at the forensic police officer who rushed in. “Since the body was just dumped not long ago, there is still hope to find the collected hair and dander.”

　　　…”

 Plop.

 The beautiful sound of kneeling down.

 …

　　When Mrs. Hayase made a sad confession to the police.

Jiang Xia glanced at the garbage hauled out by the forensics department staff, pretended that it was dirty, and walked to the bathroom.

Nakamori Aoyaki rarely saw the suspects crying, and he saw it a bit, and he had no time to stop him.

When she came to her senses, she couldn't go to the toilet in front of so many police officers, so she had to stay outside.
