Chapter 487: What on earth did the prisoner see that caused the stye?
Inspector Megure looked down at Conan and explained patiently, "That's because the murderer had committed four crimes when he invaded Miss Li's home, and a fingerprint was collected on the earring of one of the victims.
The murderer found consistent fingerprints on the kitchen knife that he left at the scene when he escaped from Miss Li's home. At the same time, we guessed that the murderer's palm prints were also collected on it, so we can be sure that the fingerprint is from the murderer's left ring finger.
At the same time, the fingerprints are consistent with those found on the charred remains found today.”
Kogoro Mouri was a little surprised: "Wasn't the murderer wearing gloves at the time?" Logically speaking, a criminal who committed consecutive crimes should not make such a low-level mistake.
Inspector Megure shook his head: "No, the murderer should have worn gloves, and the fingerprints may have been left before the crime.
As for the fingerprints on the earrings, they should have been accidentally stained when the criminal covered his mouth with his hands, and the victim struggled hard to bite off the gloves, and then the criminal continued to cover the victim's mouth with his hands - we found some fibers on the victim's teeth. "
Shiratori Renzaburo added: "In the previous cases, the murder weapons were taken away from the scene. This time, they were not taken away. Perhaps they did not expect Mr. Ping to suddenly appear. No other fingerprints were found on the other kitchen knives at the scene."
He suddenly looked at Ping Zhenghui: "Come to think of it, when Mr. Ping arrived at the scene, wasn't the door to the entrance locked?"
Ping Zhenghui was stunned for a moment and replied: "No, it was open when I went there."
Yihuli quickly explained: "I opened it. I ran desperately in the dark and finally got to the entrance. I was caught as soon as I opened the door..."
Yihuli's expression suddenly changed, and it seemed that she remembered something.
Inspector Megure and Shiratori Renzaburo hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Did you remember something?"
Yihuli frowned and thought: "Yes, I seemed to see something at that time..."
The two of them subconsciously moved closer: "Please think about it carefully!"
"Hey, can you please stop looking like you're interrogating a criminal?" Heiwa Masaaki suddenly angrily accused Inspector Megure and Shiratori Rensaburo.
The two were stunned and had to step back a little.
At this time, Miyano Shiho pulled Yuya's clothes and said, "Yuya, look at those three people, their left hands are a little strange."
"What's wrong?" Everyone hurriedly gathered around the crack in the door and looked out.
Miyano Shiho stood behind the crowd and said, "The man with the toilet lid hairstyle has bandages on his left ring finger and little finger. The man with the bald head has a band-aid on his left ring finger that covers the fingertip. The one wearing sunglasses keeps his left hand in his trouser pocket, so he looks like..."
Yuya took over the conversation: "It's like you intentionally hide your ring finger so as not to leave fingerprints, right?"
Miyano Shiho nodded and smiled at Youya.
The people next to them had a strange look on their faces—why were they clearly discussing the suspicious aspects of the suspect, but what was going on with the look of affection?
Ping Zhenghui said angrily: "Whether it's fingerprints or something else, I'll just call those three people over and let you collect their fingerprints, right? I want to prove that the guests I invited here can't be murderers!"
Youye narrowed his eyes, this groom was indeed suspicious.
When faced with this situation, most people's first reaction would definitely be to cheer Yi Huli up so that she can remember what she saw at the time and catch the criminal who may threaten her life as soon as possible.
However, instead of doing so, Ping Zhenghui looked like he didn't want her to remember it. Coupled with a series of suspicious actions before, Yuya became more suspicious of him.
Mao Lilan said awkwardly: "No need, Conan has already gone to ask."
"What?" Kogoro Mouri looked outside the door in surprise, and sure enough, he saw Conan had run to the side of the man with the toilet lid hairstyle, muttering and smelling something.
Soon, Conan finished asking the three people and returned to the room.
Inspector Megure quickly asked Conan: "What's the situation with their left hands?"
Conan told the news he had asked about.
The light-edged man with the toilet-lid hairstyle broke his finger while playing baseball;
Mr. Gunji, who was wearing a Band-Aid, had his finger pinched by the door at home;
Mr. Shimabukuro, who wears sunglasses, is used to putting his hands in his trouser pockets. As for the sunglasses, it is because he has stye and doesn't want others to see the embarrassment.
Yihuli suddenly exclaimed: "I remember now," her face was full of horror, "I saw it at that time, there was a needle hole in the prisoner's right eye!"
"What?" Most people's faces suddenly changed. "Could it be that the criminal is Mr. Shimabukuro who wears sunglasses?"
Miyano Shiho said calmly, "But the pinholes will disappear in about a week. It's been half a year since then, right?"
Others also reacted and realized that they might have been too nervous.
···
Meanwhile on the other side.
Miwako Sato took Wataru Takagi back to the lounge and found Yumi Miyamoto, and told them that the murderer might have sneaked into the wedding scene.
Miwako Sato warned the two to be careful, but Shigeru Takagi and Yumi Miyamoto did not show any fear, because they were real police officers after all.
"And, there is another possibility..." Sato Miwako said to herself.
"Huh? What's the possibility?" Takagi Wataru asked subconsciously.
Sato Miwako shook her head: "Nothing, just my own guess. Yumi, I have something to ask you... Can Takagi wait outside for a while?"
Takagi Wataru touched his head, and although he was a little confused, he still walked outside. Before closing the door, he couldn't help but glance at Sato Miwako's profile, and the scene of her giving him a shoulder throw in her dream last night emerged in his mind.
This shouldn't happen, right? Predictive dreams are just superstition... Takagi Shigeru whispered to himself.
In the room, Sato Miwako leaned over to Miyamoto Yumi and whispered something in her ear.
Miyamoto Yumi smiled knowingly, revealing a mysterious smile: "I knew you would do this, so..."
She took out a pair of cosmetics from her bag, "Clang, clang, I'm ready!"
Sato Miwako blushed slightly. Although her purpose might not be consistent with Miyamoto Yumi's idea, it would be better not to explain it here, so as to avoid embarrassment if she adds one more or one less stroke when helping her put on makeup.
