Chapter 421: Excellent attitude towards pleading guilty
Use police dogs to identify the smell at the scene and identify the real culprit among the several suspects present.
Then look for skin flakes and fingerprints on the door panel near the anti-theft chain that may prove the murderer left behind.
Most people would not leave fingerprints or dander in such a place.
Several other lawyers present had firmly claimed that they had never been to Ritsuko Usui's room last night.
This means that as long as their scent, skin flakes and fingerprints can be found in this room, it will be proven that their confessions are contradictory, thus establishing the murder charge.
I have to say that this time Kogoro Mouri did come up with a comprehensive and powerful solution from reasoning to evidence collection.
"dad."
Mao Lilan looked at her father with admiration in her eyes for the first time:
"I looked at it with a magnifying glass:"
"On the door panel near the anti-skid chain, there are indeed fingerprints and skin flakes left by the suspected murderer!"
"very good!"
Mouri Kogoro nodded with satisfaction.
He maintains the demeanor of a master who keeps his emotions and anger hidden, and is completely different from the usual greasy man who can't control his expression when he sees a beautiful girl.
"Xiaolan, let's do the police dog identification again!"
"Let Caesar find the murderer who implicated Yingli innocently from the crowd!"
As he spoke, Mouri Kogoro looked at the lawyers present with great momentum.
This is Karuizawa, not Tokyo where Ritsuko Usui works and lives.
Since this was a crime committed by an acquaintance, her murderer was most likely among the lawyer colleagues who traveled to Karuizawa with her.
"Everyone."
Mouri Kogoro asked his daughter to lead Caesar out.
Relying on the power of Caesar's ace in the forensics class, he said to several lawyers present in a rather oppressive manner:
"Now that the fingerprints and skin flakes on the door have been found, it is impossible for the murderer to escape guilt."
"With Caesar here, it's only a matter of time before the real culprit is exposed."
"And you, like Yingli, are all lawyers who are very familiar with the judiciary."
"I think there's no need to waste time here anymore, right?"
"If you stand up and plead guilty early, you may be able to get a certain degree of reduced sentence when you go to court."
Mouri Kogoro threatened the murderer step by step with his stern words.
Several lawyers present looked at each other.
They look at me and I look at you, finally.
In the end, someone actually stood up.
"No more police dog identification."
"it's me."
A man stood up with a complicated expression.
"S-Mr. Saku?!"
Everyone opened their mouths in surprise:
The guy who stood up and confessed on his own turned out to be the male lawyer who was suspected at first for knocking on the door, Saku Hashi.
"Saku?"
Fei Yingli frowned subconsciously.
She didn't know what she thought of, but she asked with some concern: "Is it really you?"
"Hey, hey." Mouri Kogoro's expression fell instantly.
I heard that my wife subconsciously spoke to a man, and the man had gone to a men's clothing store with her wife to try on ties.
Mouri Kogoro is really getting greener the more he thinks about it:
"Yingli, he himself admitted that he was the murderer, why don't you believe it?"
"I thought he was suspicious when he deliberately knocked on the door before -"
"If he is not the murderer, why would he do such a 'good thing' of helping the murderer complete the secret room conspiracy?"
As he spoke, he looked at Saku Hashi with hostility.
Fashi Saku smiled helplessly, then gave Fei Yingli a meaningful look:
"Thank you for your trust, Lawyer Fei."
"But I disappoint you. The murderer of Ritsuko Usui was indeed me."
"Why?"
Fei Yingli quietly raised her eyebrows:
"I don't remember that you had any grudge against Ritsuko Usui."
"Because of the recent Mitsui Chemicals case."
"Mitsui Chemical is in a lawsuit with the villagers of a certain village due to environmental disputes. Do you know this?"
"Know."
Fei Yingli's tone still did not relax:
"Local villagers sued Mitsui Chemicals for illegally discharging pollutants outside the village, causing widespread illness among residents in the village."
"Ritsuko Usui is the defense lawyer hired by Mitsui Chemicals in this lawsuit."
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Yes." Sakubo Hashi admitted readily:
"That village is my hometown."
"Those villagers who got sick because of Mitsui Chemicals are also my relatives and friends."
"So I don't want them to lose this key lawsuit, and I don't want someone like Ritsuko Usui to help Mitsui Chemicals destroy their hopes."
"This" everyone present, especially those lawyer colleagues, were so shocked by this incredible motive that they trembled:
What to do.
Big companies harm people, why are you killing defense lawyers?
Victory is justice. Lawyers make their living by winning lawsuits, not by their ideological and moral character.
Lawyers can help big companies win lawsuits, that means...
From a legal perspective, big companies are always on the “right” side!
The only thing to blame is that those unscrupulous people have no money and ahem, no reason.
What does it have to do with their lawyers?
And big companies have plenty of money to hire lawyers.
If you kill Lawyer Ui Bing, Lawyers Ui Huo, Lawyer Ui Feng, and Lawyer Ui Lei will naturally flock to you with their business cards.
Isn't it a big company like Tokyo Pizza Hut?
Fellow lawyers do not quite understand Saku Hashi's brain circuit.
But how to say
This can be regarded as a motive after all, right?
"Since there is a motive and evidence, Saku Hashi himself admitted the crime."
Mouri Kogoro couldn't wait to stand up and conclusively conclude his love rival's crime:
"Then he is obviously the murderer!"
"Is there any doubt about this?"
"That's right." Saku Hashi admitted: "It may be difficult for you to understand my thoughts, but I do want to kill Ritsuko Usui."
"Because her career philosophy of doing whatever it takes to make money makes me feel sick."
With that said, his motive for killing Ritsuko Usui becomes even more reasonable.
Coupled with this series of evidence, there is also his own confession.
this case
"Is it so broken?"
Lin Xinyi appeared in front of everyone with a strange look on his face.
He had completed a full set of autopsy work and had a vague answer in his mind.
On this side, Mouri Kogoro also came up with an answer.
Kogoro's answer even got a thumbs up from the murderer himself.
But Lin Xinyi still felt something was wrong.
Not only did he feel something was wrong, he could tell that Fei Yingli also felt something was wrong:
"Aunt Concubine."
"You've been frowning since the beginning."
"Do you have any thoughts in your mind? Can you share them with me?"
Lin Xinyi asked Fei Yingli straight to the point.
Fei Yingli also answered without hesitation:
"Indeed, I don't quite believe that Saku is the murderer."
"Hey, hey." Mouri Kogoro's face turned a little greener:
"That pretty boy has already admitted that he is the murderer. Why are you still speaking for him?!"
Uncle Saku, who is already 35 years old, was fondly called "boy pretty" by his love rival.
However, Fei Yingli did not change her "protective" attitude towards him at all:
"It's very simple."
"Because the murderer's method of killing was really stupid."
"Especially this secret room technique, I really don't believe it. This will be a method that Saku will use."
Hoshi Saku is a Tokyo lawyer who specializes in criminal litigation.
He is extremely familiar with the Metropolitan Police Department and its methods and methods of handling cases.
If it were in the past, if the Metropolitan Police Department was very bad at it, Saku Hashi would naturally follow suit, and it would be reasonable to use such a clumsy secret room technique.
After all, this technique looks clumsy now, but to the Japanese police in the past, it was an almost unsolvable mystery of the century.
but now.
Lin Xinyi came from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Lin Xinyi is still here.
How could Hoshi Saku dare to use such a stupid method after he was familiar with Lin Xinyi's ability to handle cases?
Feiyingli knew Sakubo Hoshi very well, so she felt that this was not something Sakubo Hashi would do.
"Hahaha"
Saku Hashi smiled meaningfully:
"Thank you, Lawyer Fei."
"It turns out that I have always been so smart in your impression - this actually makes me very happy."
"It's a pity that I'm stupider than I thought."
"I only thought about killing people at the time. A 'trick' popped into my head and I used it. I was still complacent after using it."
"The authorities are obsessed with it!"
He sighed deeply and finally gave an explanation.
But Fei Yingli then asked tit for tat:
"Speaking of the secret room, why did you deliberately set up this secret room?"
"Is it to make it look like Ritsuko Usui died of a sudden illness?"
"But as far as I know, Ui Bing has always been in good health and has no record of any past illnesses -"
"Then why did you set up this secret room that completely exposed you for nothing?"
"." Sakubo Hoshi was silent for a while, then sighed helplessly:
"This is also my stupidity,"
"You also saw that there are many empty wine bottles in the room."
"After Ritsuko Usui returned to the room from the wine table, she drank a lot of wine in the room and smelled very heavy."
"So I thought, let's just make the scene a secret room to make it look like she died of 'acute alcohol poisoning.'"
"I didn't expect that this little trick would not be hidden from the professional forensic doctors."
In the later stages of alcoholism, respiratory function will be suppressed.
Therefore, victims who die from acute alcohol poisoning may also have symptoms of suffocation, including facial bruising and cyanosis of the fingers, to a certain extent.
In addition, Ritsuko Usui did drink a lot of wine during her lifetime. There were empty wine bottles left by her in the room, and she still smelled heavily of alcohol.
If you take your blood for testing, I'm afraid the alcohol concentration in your blood won't be too low.
It makes sense that the murderer wanted to use the secret room technique to disguise her death as "acute alcohol poisoning."
"But the problem is, Mr. Saku"
"You even know the signs of death from acute alcohol poisoning, which is criminal investigation knowledge that laypeople have little understanding of."
"I really didn't expect that I could tell that it wasn't alcohol poisoning?"
"I really didn't expect that I could see that there was something wrong with the anti-theft link?"
"Didn't you really expect that Caesar's scent identification alone could expose the mask you deliberately put on?"
Lin Xinyi asked aggressively one after another, his eyes getting sharper.
The atmosphere now becomes very strange.
The police are constantly questioning whether the murderer looks like a murderer.
But the murderer kept trying to defend himself in order to prove that he was the murderer:
"yes."
"I didn't expect that. It's really stupid."
"But there's nothing I can do. It's also my first time to do something like murder. It's inevitable that I'll lose my mind."
Hoshi Saku still firmly admits his guilt:
"Mr. Lin, do you have any other questions?"
"If not, please send me to the police station!"
