Chapter 2028 2028 [Low-key failure]

Without looking at Xun Zhengwan's blank expression, Jiang Xia turned to the person in charge and asked: "When the deceased's legs hurt, would he perform with a plaster on?"

The person in charge later realized that something was wrong and recalled one thing: "That's right. Even if her leg hurt last time, she only put the plaster on during practice and took it off before playing. We also put it in the trash can I found out about this when I found the used plaster."

Jiang Xia nodded: "The lights are very bright during the performance, and every detail of the mermaid will be magnified. After all, the color of the plaster is different from the skin color. The deceased cares very much about the effect of the stage and will not go on stage with plaster."

Maya Hashimoto: "..." Regardless of whether the legs hurt or not, they have to make way for Uzo's stage effect... Even a passerby who accidentally entered the theater curled up like this. How much does this new boss like the curling king?

It's no wonder that there are so many detectives in Tokyo, but Wu Zuo always keeps an eye on Jiang Xia to create cases. The other detectives are either in school or have some hobbies like betting on horses and racing during vacations, but Jiang Xia is the only one. Solving crimes seems to be his hobby, and he is involved in even classes. Don't even go up.

With such a boss who likes Juan Wang, I may never have a happy time fishing again in the future.

Hashimoto Maya shed a bitter tear in her heart.

Jiang Xia glanced at the bucket of iced black tea that suddenly started to flow for some reason, calmed down, and continued her reasoning: "And when we met the deceased today, she was wearing high heels and walking smoothly, without any pain in her legs - compared to Qi suffered a serious illness before going on stage, so the plaster was more likely to have been applied by the murderer.

“Perhaps it was the last time the deceased suffered leg pain and drowned that inspired the murderer, so he thought of using plaster to disguise the murder as an accident.

"The process is probably that after the first mermaid actor appeared on the stage, the murderer rushed to the dressing room, knocked out the deceased who was putting on the makeup, and then put a plaster on the deceased's leg - the cosmetics on the table were extremely scattered, and the plastic behind the plaster The film was also deliberately left there. These are all traces left by the murderer when he committed the crime.

“The murderer then moved the deceased to the waiting room under the clam shell. When it was time for the performance, the machine began to fill with water. At this time, the deceased was in a coma and could not trigger drainage and pause, so he would naturally drown.

"The patch of foundation on the floor of the waiting cabin is evidence that the deceased fainted before filling the water - otherwise, if she drowned due to temporary leg pain, or if she fell due to leg pain when the water was shallow, she would have had the opportunity to press the drain button to save herself. If She fell when the water was deep. In that depth of water, it would be difficult for her face to touch the ground, so naturally she would not be able to leave any traces."

 Sounds very reasonable.

but…

The person in charge remembered that Jiang Xia had identified Yasuyuki Murakawa just now. He turned to look at Yasuyuki Murakawa, but he couldn't connect this honest man with the "murderer".

 He ​​whispered: "But at that time Murakawa and I were both in the control room controlling the machine..."

Jiang Xia: "Before every performance, the deceased would always stay in the dressing room to sort out her makeup, so the murderer could quickly locate her. Leaving the control room, knocking a woman out and carrying her several dozen meters, these things were very difficult for Mr. Murakawa. Say, it only took a bathroom break—are you sure he never left the control room?"

 The person in charge wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "This..."

 He really can’t.

On the contrary, because Yasuyuki Murakawa was very big and had a strong presence when moving, the person in charge really remembered that this man left on the pretext of going to the toilet - exactly as Jiang Xia said. If you think about it more carefully, even the time when Yasuyuki Murakawa left was almost after the first mermaid actor came on stage, because at that time there was no need to add water and the music had been adjusted. It was the time when technicians like them had the most leisure time. It was as if the detective had traveled through time and used reasoning to recreate the murder before his eyes.

Beside him, Yasuyuki Murakawa was sweating no less than him.

After a long time, the big guy finally straightened out his thoughts and said dryly: "Haha, it sounds very logical, but why must the murderer be me?

"The doors to the waiting room and dressing room are not locked. If you just stun the deceased and put it in the machine, anyone can do it - technicians, logistics, and even the audience who know the layout of the backstage... By the way, I remember it happened today An unfamiliar mixed-race temporary worker also came, and he was also very suspicious!

"Before the actor goes on stage, she is not in the dressing room but in the lounge. Even if the perpetrator is not an acquaintance like us, it is not difficult to locate her whereabouts. Osawa has a bad temper. Maybe one of her enemies from outside has chased her here and wants to use the aquarium. Put the murder suspicion on the employees here."

When Jiang Xia heard about the "unknown mixed-race temporary worker", she couldn't help but glance at the door: Although she couldn't see clearly what was going on outside, she could faintly smell the aroma of coffee... The boss has been out of luck lately. Why is he being looked at by passers-by every day? arrive. I had already told him to join the team, and he had to follow him furtively from a distance. If he kept going like this, he would be regarded as a major suspect sooner or later.

However, Tohru Amuro is not far away anyway. At most, it is just a matter of the ghosts making more trips. Jiang Xia therefore saved some face for the boss of the detective agency who kindly provided the detective agency, and did not find him out.

He just continued his reasoning: "There are indeed many people who have the opportunity to commit crimes, but because you carry evidence with you, I can only doubt you first."

 “Take the evidence with you?”

Several police officers stared at Murakawa Yasuyuki's pockets suspiciously, suspecting that there were suspicious items inside.

Murakawa Yasuyuki was also confused: he had nothing in his pocket except keys and wallet. There was no way that the woman had written a note saying "The murderer is Yasuyuki Murakawa" while she was struggling and secretly stuffed it into him.

“It’s not in the pocket.” Jiang Xia interrupted his frantic search, “There should be a lipstick mark on the back of your neck—lipstick from the deceased.”

  “?!”

　　Miwako Sato walked over, intending to pull open Yasuyuki Murakawa's collar to check.

Officer Takagi suddenly came to his senses: "I'll do it!"

In order to prevent the beautiful policewoman from looking at other men's backs, and to be worthy of his profession, Officer Takagi used many times more skill than before to search and pull down Murakawa Yasuyuki's collar.

 A group of people gathered around him curiously, glanced at the area slightly lower than his neck, and were suddenly surprised: "There are really red lip marks!"

"This color..." another mermaid actor blurted out, "This lipstick indeed belongs to Ms. Osawa! I heard that this is a limited edition, and she showed it off in front of me many times, intentionally or unintentionally. I was very impressed!"
