Chapter 1581 The Truth
  If an ordinary person had caused such trouble during the interview at the scene, Officer Megure would have kicked them out long ago.

But Mouri Kogoro is an old acquaintance after all. If Officer Megure hadn't thought that he would be reliable after transforming into "sleep mode" and could help the case, he would have wanted to beat him out.

Ignoring the two men's tricks, Officer Megure looked at Okino Yoko and the two with drooping eyes and asked: "By the way, do you have anything to do with your appointment with the victim today?"

"that is."

Okino Yoko hesitated. Conan, who was about to explain, suddenly saw the blanket beside her: "Ah, there are black and red marks on this blanket."

"Hey, can it be blood stains?" Mouri Kogoro asked quickly after hearing this.

"No, it smells like wine." Tang Ze picked up the blanket and smelled it, then said immediately.

"What, you little brat, please don't be so scary!" Mouri Kogoro glared at Conan angrily, "It's normal for Italian restaurants to have red wine."

Obviously, Mouri Kogoro didn't think this small red wine stain had anything to do with the case.

However, based on the smell just now, Tangze could smell that the red wine stain on the blanket was still very new, and it was probably stained not long ago.

Even just a few hours ago.
  After analyzing this point in his mind, a flash of inspiration flashed in Tang Ze's mind.

The next moment, a picture flashed in my mind.

‘Because after I cleaned carefully, I still heard the sound of the vacuum cleaner. ’

'He covered himself with a blanket and lay on the sofa to sleep. ’

'When I first came, there was only this blanket on the sofa, and there was no one else. ’

When the suspects' words flashed through his mind, Tang Ze quickly connected everything.

Thinking of this, he walked towards the closet on the side, and Conan was also in front of the same closet door as him at the same moment.

"It seems you noticed it too." Karasawa looked down at Conan and smiled.

"Yes, if I guess correctly, it should be "that" inside."

Conan opened the closet and said, "In addition, I have another situation that you don't know about."

"Oh?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "It seems that during the time you came here in advance, you have not let go of your attention. What did you find?"

Conan opened the cabinet door while telling Karasawa what he had discovered.

After Tang Ze's nose twitched slightly, he followed the smell and located a white down jacket. "It also has red wine stains on it that smell the same as the blanket."

"That's true." Conan smiled slightly when he saw the red wine stain on his face: "It seems that my judgment is correct."

"And someone made up an alibi for himself in an instant." Tang Ze said calmly.

"Yes, I used a very simple prop. If I wasn't unprepared, I might have noticed it immediately." Conan looked at the three people waiting at the door, and couldn't help but reveal a smile of victory. .

"Tang Ze Criminal, did you find anything?"

Takagi on the side looked at Tangze standing in front of the closet and thinking deeply, and couldn't help but ask.

"There are some discoveries, but for the convenience of explanation, please help me buy some things."

Tang Ze took out his mobile phone and edited a text message: "I'll send you the things you want to buy, please."

"Understood!" Takagi nodded seriously and left the restaurant immediately.

The actions between the two people also attracted the attention of everyone around them. Officer Megure was even more energetic and stepped forward quickly: "Brother Tang Ze, have you discovered any clues?"

"I made some discoveries, don't you think it's strange?"

Tangze nodded, and everyone was stunned when he opened his mouth. Officer Megure was a little confused and asked: "What's weird?"

"That's the number of people who came to this lounge looking for someone in the first place."

Tang Ze said: "In such a small room, if you want to find someone, you can see clearly at a glance.

But it was Mr. Yamada and Mr. Hongjiang who came here to look for someone.

The warehouse on the other side is larger than the rest room because the goods are stored, and there are rows of cabinets and blind spots. Logically, there should be a few more people looking for it, but in the end there was only the escort girl. "

"It's indeed strange to say so." Officer Memu said after hearing this.

"And why there is such a strange combination? It is because a third person is required to testify to confirm that the boss is not in the room."

Tang Zedan said: "And in this way, he can complete his murderous method!"

After the words fell, everyone present was shocked. They did not expect that Tang Ze would suddenly say this.

This is almost equivalent to correcting the prisoner. After all, only Mr. Yamada and Mr. Hongjiang went to the rest room at that time.

Officer Megure also thought so, so as soon as he suspected the two of them, Hongjiang Baoren stood up immediately and explained: "I am Mr. Yamada. He asked me to come with him to find someone. That’s right!”

Seeing Hongjiang's guarantor transfer the suspicion to himself, Yamada Koumichi was also under great pressure: "I, I did ask Hongjiang to go to the lounge with me to look for him, because there are lockers and cabinets in this room. "

"Do you still think the boss would hide in a place like that?" After hearing Yamada Komichi's obviously unreasonable words, Mouri Kogoro felt outrageous and looked at the other person and asked.

"But there is always a possibility of eventuality."

Yamada Koumichi defended: "And you said I wanted him to confirm whether the boss was here, why should I do that?
  And at that time, I only stayed here with Hongjiang for a few minutes. "

Without a reasonable explanation, Yamada Koumichi began to find another excuse to defend, but the next moment Karasawa's answer made his calculations come to nothing.

"It doesn't take minutes, just a moment is enough."

Tang Ze said: "At that moment, you created the illusion that the boss was sleeping on the sofa."

"How is that possible!"

After hearing this, Yamada Koumichi retorted: "Are you trying to say that I put something under the blanket!? That's impossible!"

As he said this, Yamada Koumichi looked at Hongjiang Yasuto next to him and said, "We were together at that time. You didn't see me doing these actions, right?"

"No."

Hong Jiang Bao Ren nodded when he heard this, looked at Tang Ze and questioned: "Besides, there is nothing that can be put next to this sofa to pretend to be a human being."

"I will demonstrate this when Takagi Criminal comes back from shopping."

After hearing Tang Ze's words, although everyone was curious, they could only suppress it temporarily and wait for Takagi to come back from shopping. “I bought a blanket, an ice pick, a compression bag, and five pieces of thicker clothing!”

As the door opened, Takagi hurried back with bags in hand.

After hearing his words, everyone looked at the thing in his hand with a trace of curiosity, but only Yamada Koumichi's face flashed with panic.

"Then Conan will demonstrate with me as my assistant."

After Karasawa called Conan's name, the two began to operate the things Takagi bought.

First they put the clothes into a rectangular compression bag, and then used a vacuum cleaner to suck out the air inside to flatten it.

"Ah, I know, this is the sound of the vacuum cleaner that I thought the boss was cleaning again!" Banba Lingzi looked at the demonstration of the two and realized belatedly.

"That's right, but at the time you mistakenly thought it was the boss cleaning."

Karasawa nodded, and Conan on the side put the compression bag on the sofa and covered it with a blanket.

"The preparations are complete!" Conan said with a smile after arranging everything: "Look at it, does it look like there is only a blanket covering the sofa?"

"Yes."

Everyone nodded unconsciously when they heard Conan's words, and Conan smiled and took out a sharp ice chisel.

"But if you use this to pierce the bottom compression bag, you can instantly create the illusion that the boss is sleeping under the blanket."

Following Karasawa's words, Conan took the ice chisel and pierced the blanket directly.

The ice chisel, as sharp as a needle, penetrated the blanket and directly pierced the head of the compression bag underneath. Soon the huge bag began to inflate, and the feeling of collision soon bulged against the sealed bag.

"Does it look like someone is sleeping?"

Karasawa's rhetorical question was unanimously approved by everyone, and Conan compensated by saying: "After that, all you need to do is take out the boss's shoes that were hidden under the sofa in advance. This arrangement will be disguised as if the boss is sleeping."

"This technique is actually very simple after you finish the early stages of staying behind." Karasawa looked at Yamada Akira and said: "You only need to do this with your back to Mr. Hongjiang before leaving, and you can easily complete the trick. ”

"But, but this method doesn't have to be mine, right?" Yamada Koumichi turned around and said, "Hongjiang can do the same, right?"

"No, it was you, Mr. Yamada, who did it."

Karasawa's decisive words made Yamada Komichi change his face, and he looked at the fearful expression on the other person's face and said the fatal words: "The reason is that the blanket on the sofa was torn. made a small hole.

The edge of the small hole was stained with some wine stains.

In other words, this also proves that the small hole in the compression bag was punctured by the sommelier using an indispensable tool, the sommelier's knife!

The so-called wine serving knife is the kind of spiral screwdriver used to open red wine corks. Because it is rotating, red wine stains will adhere to the edges of holes in clothes. "

"Well, brother Tang Ze, please wait a moment."

Just when Karasawa was about to continue speaking, Officer Megure interrupted him and said: "I heard a sommelier I know say that the screws of the general wine server will not pierce the cork, because that way This can cause sawdust to fall into the wine.”

Officer Megure said: "If it is an old wine with an old cork, it will be completely pierced before opening. But does this store have that kind of red wine?"

"Of course not, we are not a three-star restaurant here!" Yamada Koumichi said with a pale face: "So, so all this was done by the murderer to frame me!"

"Indeed, generally a sommelier's auger will not penetrate the cork and get on to the wine."

Karasawa looked at Yamada Akira with playful eyes: "But all this is only possible if Mr. Yamada is really a sommelier."

"Eh!?"

Officer Megure heard this and looked at Tang Ze with a surprised look on his face: "What's going on!?"

"Let Conan speak about this. He noticed it when he was watching Miss Yoko and the others eating." Karasawa smiled and gave Conan the chance to shine.

After Conan became his apprentice, everyone has become accustomed to some outstanding performances, so this performance will not make Xiaolan suspect anything, but will further deepen this impression.

"I saw that uncle pulling out the cork when he opened the wine for Mr. Higo and others. He left the table without picking up the cork to confirm the smell."

Conan spoke with a cute tone and harsh words: "A real sommelier would not be able to do that.

That's called bouchonne, because the cleaning fluid left in the cork-making process can cause the wine to deteriorate and produce a cork-like smell.

Among dozens of bottles of red wine, such a bottle will appear, so it is essential for sommeliers.

But this uncle has no such habit at all. "

"Not only that, you also have the habit of smoking."

Tang Ze said: "There are some smells that others can't distinguish, but I can still distinguish them.

For sommeliers who value their sense of taste and smell, cigarettes are an absolute no-no.

Moreover, I found a very interesting detail among the large number of cigarette butts found by Chiba Criminal Police in the men's bathroom.

Among cigarette butts, although they are all of the same brand, the cigarette butts inside can be divided into two different types.

One of the cigarettes is relatively long overall, the body of the cigarette is not completely smoked and there are teeth marks on the filter tip, while the other one has a short look before it is pressed out, and there are no traces of teeth on the cigarette butt.

In other words, it was the cigarette butts left by two men after smoking.

And judging from that number, it can't be left by guests, it can only be employees who have been staying here.

Needless to say, one of them was naturally smoked by Mr. Hongjiang, and the other one was smoked by you, Mr. Yamada.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. There are so many cigarette butts, and you can easily find out by looking at the saliva on the filter. "

Karasawa looked at Yamada Koumichi's fat face with constant cold sweat, and his expression gradually became sharp: "I know you are a fake sommelier!"

Following Karasawa's words, the look on Yamada Koumichi's face could no longer be concealed. He gritted his teeth and looked ferocious but could not utter any words to refute.

Obviously, faced with Karasawa's reasoning, Yamada Komichi felt resentment in his heart.

But the unstoppable trembling of his shoulders and the constant cold sweat on his face also showed that he was evil.

Obviously, facing Karasawa's flawless reasoning, Yamada Koumichi only felt deep despair in his heart.
