Chapter 857: The Client’s Truth

In the afternoon of Thursday, January 5th, Shiro Shibata’s house in Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

The forensic personnel were ordered to check the corridor at the entrance of the restaurant, and found that there was indeed a pool of blood that had been wiped.

"So, the first scene should be here at the entrance." The Henggou Police Department said, and then asked, "However, Ms. Jinghua, I have two questions. Why didn't you call the police at that time? And why didn't you call the police on the doorknob? Without your fingerprints?"

"As I said, the door opened as soon as I pushed it. When I closed the door, I just pushed the door hard, so I didn't touch the doorknob." Chi Bo Jinghua said, "As for calling the police, if I call the police, what will you do?" To me? I’m afraid they will take me to the police station as a prisoner for interrogation.”

"Well..." Henggou Police Department was a little embarrassed.

Chi Bo Jinghua said to Mao Li: "Mr. Mao Li, I will leave this matter to you."

Mao Li said: "Please rest assured, I will definitely investigate the matter."

The Henggou Police Department asked: "So, Mr. Maori, who do you think is the murderer of this incident?"

Yamazaki said: "Uncle, I thought of a possibility, can you let me talk about it first, and if there is something wrong, please help me correct it."

Maori smiled and said, "Of course, you can just say it."

"Then I'll say it." Yamazaki said, "First of all, everyone, please see that Ms. Jinghua is wearing a very formal kimono, that is to say, she came to visit Mr. Shibata specially, and what she said on the phone is' I', that is, she alone."

Henggou Police Department asked: "What do you mean by these?"

"Since the first scene is here, how did this body get into the study?" Yamazaki said, "That is to say, someone moved it in. Seeing that there are no strange folds on Ms. Jinghua's clothes, it is obvious that this is not her. She did it, and she came to visit alone, which means that she has nothing to do with moving the body, and the body was obviously moved by the murderer, so Ms. Jinghua is not the murderer."

Shibata Kyoko said: "Wait, formal kimonos are difficult to wear, but who knows how long she has been here."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Ms. Jinghua can answer this question by herself. I think she has already prepared it."

Chi Bo Jinghua said: "I have the receipt for shopping at the jewelry store at 8:12 in the morning, the surveillance there should have recorded me, and the tram ticket I bought at 8:27 in the morning, and then I will I went to Tokyo, and in the end this is a receipt from a convenience store in Tokyo Station." He said, handing the jewelry receipt, tram ticket, and convenience store receipt to the Henggou Police Department.

The Henggou Police Department said: "So, Ms. Jinghua really doesn't have time."

"But it's fine if there are other people." Shibata Kyoko said.

Yoshikawa Takezo said: "Yes, yes, the phone is only used to mislead the police. They are actually here to kill Shibata, so they killed Shibata when they met."

Yamazaki said: "That's wrong. If you meet someone and kill them, how did this photo come from? There is no trace of searching in the room, and Ms. Jinghua doesn't know where the photo is. What's more, if Ms. Jinghua , that would not put her own picture in the hands of the deceased."

Yoshikawa Takezo said: "That was killed later, and then the woman left, and her companions stayed to clean up. They didn't know this photo and used it."

"If Mr. Shibata was killed while sending the guests away, then there is a problem here." Yamazaki said, "It is obvious that the restaurant cannot entertain guests like this, and there is only a study room, and tea is required for hospitality. But now there is none in the study, and the tea sets are neatly placed."

Yoshikawa Takezo said: "So the people left behind cleaned up."

Yamazaki asked: "The murderer had time to clean up the blood, but why didn't he clean up the restaurant?"

"Of course it's for, uh," Yoshikawa Takezo couldn't think of it for a while,

Then he said, "How do I know that, I'm not a murderer."

"Also, the air conditioner in the room is only at room temperature, why isn't it turned up to the highest?" Yamazaki said, "That is to say, the murderer did not intend to confuse the time of Mr. Shibata's death. On the contrary, the murderer hoped that the police could guess the approximate death of Mr. Shibata." The time is around eight o'clock in the morning, during breakfast."

"Why is that?" Henggou Police Department asked.

"It's just to put the blame on Ms. Jinghua. During the phone call with Mr. Shibata yesterday, she must have made an appointment and will come to visit at some time. There is also the photo of Ms. Jinghua, which was also deliberately released by the murderer." Yamazaki said, " So the murderer knew when Ms. Jinghua came to visit and where the photo was."

At this time, the forensic personnel came to report that the deceased was holding a ring in the palm of his hand, which was his wedding ring.

"Ah? If you say so," the Henggou Police Department looked at Kyoko Shibata in surprise, "Could the murderer be Mrs. Shibata? This ring is the death message?"

"How could I kill my husband? My husband must have thought of me before he left, so I held this wedding ring in my hand." Kyoko Shibata said, "The most important thing is, don't forget, I was born at seven o'clock in the morning. Go left and right."

"There is a kind of death called death due to injury, that is to say, the victim died after the murderer left for a period of time. It is normal for the victim to die after a severe head injury and die half an hour later," said Yamazaki. , "Also, by the way, when shopping in the supermarket, you don't need to be together all the time."

The Henggou Police Department said: "It turns out that Mrs. Shibata came back to the manufacturing site halfway, and then returned to the supermarket. She came back with her friends and planned to be the first discoverer with her friends. But when she arrived, she found that there was already a police car downstairs. I didn’t call my friends to come up with me.”

"This matter has nothing to do with me at all. You are slandering me, and I will definitely sue you." Kyoko Shibata shouted.

Yamazaki shrugged, "Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me, I never said you are a murderer."

"Ah?" The Henggou Police Department sweated.

"Ms. Shibata left at around 7:00 in the morning. Mr. Shibata died at around 8:00 in the morning. Mrs. Shibata has a very obvious alibi. Mr. Shibata has passed away. Who did he tell that Ms. Jinghua will come Visiting, where is the photo of Ms. Jinghua, this can no longer be confirmed, so it cannot be said that only Mrs. Shibata knows these two things in this world." Yamazaki said, "Ms. Shibata and Mr. Shibata are husband and wife, so I want to To prove that Mrs. Shibata killed Mr. Shibata, you need an eyewitness who saw Mrs. Shibata beat Mr. Shibata. Besides, even if you find someone who saw Mrs. Shibata come back this afternoon, it cannot prove that Mrs. Shibata is the murderer , at most, it will be unfavorable to Mrs. Shibata during the lawsuit."

"W-Where can I find this person?" Henggou Police Department said with a bitter face.

Yamazaki said: "Or Mrs. Shibata stands up and says she is the murderer, then the existing evidence can prove that she is the murderer."

Shibata Kyoko said: "I said it, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"Okay, Uncle Maori, I have cleared Ms. Jinghua of the suspicion. Do you have any questions?" Yamazaki asked Maori.

"Very good, you did a good job." Mao Li smiled, "I will continue to work hard in the future."

"Thank you." Chiba Jinghua saluted Yamazaki.

Yamazaki quickly replied, "You're welcome."

The Henggou Police Department asked, "Mr. Maori, what about the murder?"

Mao Li said: "I think Yamazaki has made it very clear just now. You should find this witness first. I believe that this person can still be found. Then you can prepare materials and let the prosecutor decide."

"That's the only way to go." The Henggou Police Department sighed.

Chi Bo Jinghua said: "Ms. Shibata, I would like to advise you a few words, I wonder if you would like to listen?"

Shibata Kyoko said, "Please tell me."

Chi Bo Jinghua said: "If the murderer is really you, you'd better turn yourself in as soon as possible. You must have seen many similar episodes on TV. The feeling of this kind of thing in your heart is not ordinary."

Yamazaki said: "That's right, if it was you, you would be given a lighter sentence."

"Why?" Ran asked.

Yamazaki said: "Well, it is sympathetic to have a husband who is addicted to gambling and does not know how to restrain himself."

"Oh." Lan squinted at Maori, which made Maori very embarrassed, and made Conan couldn't help laughing. As a result, Maori planted mushrooms from embarrassment.

The Hengmizo Police Department said: "Okay, please follow me to the Numazu Police Station where this place belongs to and make an official record."

"I," Shibata Kyoko said, "I want to change clothes."

"Of course, please." Henggou Police Department said.

Shibata Kyoko entered the room and closed the door. Not long after, the sound of a knife being unsheathed came out, which surprised everyone.

"Not good." The Henggou Police Department immediately went to push the door and found it locked.

"Let me come." Lan kicked the door open, and everyone found that Shibata Kyoko was holding a knife on her neck in her right hand.

Mao Li quickly shouted: "Ms. Shibata, don't do something stupid."

"Let me talk to her." Chi Bo Jinghua walked towards her, and at the same time took out the lady fan at his waist.

"You don't want to come here." Kyoko Shibata swung the knife and cut across Shizuka Ikeba's abdomen.

Chiba Jinghua took half a step back to pass the blade, then stepped in and swung the fan obliquely on the wrist of Kyoko Shibata who was swinging the knife back, but the knife in Kyoko Shibata's hand was not knocked off, so he had to turn his hand over, with the fan head down, and fan Block the edge of the blade next to the tsuba, while holding the edge of the handle with your left hand.

"Stop!" Mori shouted, "Mrs. Shibata, do you want to kill again?"

"I just want to commit suicide." Shibata Kyoko held her right wrist with her left hand, trying to push Chiba Jinghua away with both hands.

"Idiot!" Chi Bo Jinghua reprimanded, "Human life is not divided into you and me. Anyone who kills is a murderer, even if he takes his own life, do you understand?"

"I..." Shibata Kyoko was stunned for a moment.

Chibo Jinghua found that Shibata Kyoko was not holding the knife stably, took the opportunity to withdraw the knife from her hand, and immediately stepped back to distance herself from her, "Mrs. Shibata, I have offended you." Said, he squatted down and picked up the scabbard on the ground, and put the knife into it. He handed both hands to Shibata Kyoko behind the sheath, "Stop doing stupid things, running away won't solve the problem, as a swordsman, you have to face it upright."

"I..." Shibata Kyoko took the knife tremblingly, and then cried while hugging the knife, "This unmarked authentic is passed down from generation to generation in my family, but he, he..."

"So that's how it is," Henggou Police Department asked, "Ms. Shibata, you killed Mr. Shibata because he wanted to use this knife to pay off his debts, didn't you?"

"Yes, I killed Shiro," Shibata Kyoko said sadly, "My wife killed her husband." Then she looked at Yoshikawa Takezo and said with hatred, "My life with Shiro has always been harmonious and beautiful, but since After you moved here, everything changed since you took Si Lang to gamble, no matter how much I persuaded him, he refused to quit gambling. In fact, I want to kill you even more. "

"Ah!" Yoshikawa Takezo was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

"Cough," Henggou Police Department asked, "Ms. Shibata, do you still want to change?"

"No, let's go." Shibata Kyoko said, then handed the knife to Ikebo Jinghua with both hands, "Can you keep it for me for a while?"

"I'm so happy." Chi Bo Jinghua took the knife with both hands. ...
