"A clue?" Kawakami asked curiously, "Let me think about it... you definitely won't work here for no reason. Did you find this clue from your clothes?
It seems that Fushiya Misato is a customer of this store...she bought something that cost her her life. "
"As expected of a detective." Shunsuke Mishima smiled sinisterly, "Yes, I am tired of staying in this shabby shop to find that girl's clothes. It seems that you also have two brushes. If you can't find it, Just die!"
"Okay, but you need to show me this piece of paper first." Kawakami said gently.
This gray-haired young man looked like a thin and thin ordinary man, not threatening in the slightest. Maybe a little too calm. But detectives are all like this, Mishima Shunsuke thought.
He took a few steps forward and put his gun to Kawakami Tsumugi's back. The force was so great that Tsumugi Kawakami felt a dull pain.
Then, the thin murderer handed the piece of paper to Kawakami from behind.
It was a very worn piece of paper, blank, with a crease in the middle, and it didn't look like it had any secrets.
"Did you see anything?" Mishima Shunsuke put his gun to Kawakami's back again and asked in an evil voice.
"Detectives are not omnipotent..." Tsumugi Kawakami sighed, "I can't tell anything in such a short period of time."
"Do not talk nonsense!"
Paper, it is easy to think of whether there is some secret language that can be revealed through chemical reactions, such as white vinegar that can reveal writing when burned with fire, or an alkali solution that turns red when exposed to phenolphthalein.
Based on the time of the crime and the cleanness of the piece of paper, Mishima Shunsuke should not have had time to conduct these experiments.
Of course, Kawakamiji didn't intend to remind him.
Especially after the two have a certain degree of physical contact, he can easily kill him back. You don't even need to rely on the power of Search Lesson.
"Can I ask about the origin of this piece of paper?" Tsumugi Kawakami discussed with Mishima in a nice voice, "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw. I can't see anything without the background. It's like guessing someone else's bank card password. You must first know other people’s birthdays, children’s birthdays, and wedding dates before you can guess, right?”
"Shouldn't you be able to deduce a large amount of things from the age, traces and other information on the paper?"
"It's impossible for everyone to be Sherlock Holmes, and detectives are not that good. Besides, Holmes himself has to understand the situation from his client first."
"There are so many things!" Mishima Shunsuke said.
But what Kawakami said makes sense. It is difficult for a detective to make deductions without knowing any clues.
Shunsuke Mishima began to talk about his motives for committing the crime. Although the word order is confusing, Kawakami also sorted out the general content.
Mishima Shunsuke is a little gangster who has accomplished nothing.
He dropped out of high school and joined a group of high-spirited guys in society. He was abandoned by the gang after he injured his leg. Because he had no other abilities, he was very miserable.
Six months after leaving the gang, his former high school classmates organized a party. During the prosperous period of mixed society, Mishima had always attended class reunions over the years as the eldest brother, triumphantly enjoying the fearful looks of others.
Now that he had lost power, he couldn't show his cowardice, so he put on his best clothes, made his face look fat, and attended that party.
"But, I met that girl, Chikako Yanagiya, at the party."
Chikako Yanagiya is not good-looking, with a round face, small eyes, and is very fat. What’s more fatal is that she has a harelip. Although it was surgically repaired, it still left a scar.
Therefore, she never attends class reunions. However, at that party, Chikako Yanagiya came and approached Shunsuke Mishima.
"That bitch actually said she likes me. Haha, it's ridiculous. She doesn't even know what she looks like."
In line with the principle of not taking advantage of others, Mishima Shunsuke and Yanagiya Chikako started dating. Yanagiya's family had a little money, and she relied on her own work to support Mishima Shunsuke.
Not long after, they got married, and Chikako Yanagiya asked for it.
You have food, shelter, and company, and you don't have to go out to work by yourself. This is a great thing for Mishima Shunsuke.
"Unfortunately not long after, that girl died in a car accident. When I was sorting out her belongings, I found that she had hidden clues to valuable money in her clothes. According to what she said in her diary, it was a huge fortune."
A fortune written down on a blank piece of paper? Kawakamiji raised her eyebrows, and she had a preliminary guess.
Unfortunately, at that time, Shunsuke Mishima sold all Chikako Yanagiya's clothes to second-hand clothing stores. When he went to look for them, many of them had already been sold.
"I knew that girl was dishonest, and she kept such a huge sum of money from me!" At this point, Mishima couldn't help but curse.
Mishima Shunsuke didn't dare to talk about the money. He went to Sawamura Ryo and asked if their store was short of people. Seeing that he was thin and unemployed, Sawamura Ryo accepted him temporarily.
He didn't pay attention when selling it, but it was a real headache to find it. Shunsuke Mishima only remembered the general style of the clothes, which was a thick woolen coat for spring and autumn.
After confirming that there were no second-hand clothes in the store, Mishima had to admit that the clothes might have been bought by others.
"Mr. Sawamura has the habit of keeping a ledger, because most of his customers are repeat customers, and his name and phone number are also recorded in the ledger. So you use the information filtered from the ledger to find possible buyers?
Before this, there were no consistent reports of home invasion and murder. It seems that you were just committing theft, and Fushiya Misato was more unfortunate. She happened to be at home when you broke in.
So, you killed her, no, knocked her out, and then faked your suicide. "Kawakamiji put things together.
"That's right, there's just so much information. What did you see?"
"I can see a lot." Kawakami replied slowly.
Mishima Shunsuke's breathing became heavy.
"First point, after Chikako Yanagiya died - let's assume that you didn't do it, although the possibility is very small. You only found her belongings after selling her things. This shows that you don't care about her. , squandered all the money before thinking of finding a way out.”
"Huh? What are you talking about?!" Mishima Shunsuke heard something was wrong, and he increased the strength on his hands.
Kawakami Tsumugi stretched his leg back and stumbled.
Mishima Shunsuke suddenly felt dizzy, and when he woke up, he was pressed to the ground by Kawakami Tsumugi. Then a gun was pointed at his forehead.
"Don't interrupt me in such a hurry, Mr. Mishima." The gray-haired young man shook his head and sighed.
Ryo Sawamura, who had been hiding under the counter and watching, saw the opportunity, quickly got up, and called the police on his landline phone.
"I've called the police, Kawakami, you control him!" Sawamura Ryo shouted.
"Let me think about it... Where did I say it? How long did it take before you found this clue after you squandered all your money? Half a year, a year? Judging from your expression, it was a year.
You mentioned before that Chikako Yanagiya is a cartoonist by profession. She is not famous, so she probably doesn’t earn much. For such a long time... With your ability to spend money, you must have a lot of money on hand.
Looks like I guessed it right again? The Liugu family only has a small amount of money, so where did the money you squandered come from? Compensation for the death of Chikako Yanagiya? Maybe also add insurance compensation? "
Mishima Shunsuke was trembling with fright, his face turned pale:
"How, how do you know?"
"Well, it seems that my previous inference was wrong. You did not kill Chikako Yanagiya. It may be an accident. Although the police's ability is worrying, insurance companies are not vegetarians. They will hire special detectives to find out the truth and judge Do you need to pay for it?
And now that you have spent so much experience looking for this money... tsk tsk, you need it urgently.
In addition, I also noticed that your leg injury, judging by the way you walk, is a recent injury, and in your wording, it occurred when you quit the gang. "
Mishima Shunsuke's eyes widened and his pupils contracted. Through micro-expressions, Kawakami knew that he had found the key point again.
"Coupled with the gun in your hand... you must have hooked up with the gang again, and you are in trouble and need money urgently."
