Chapter 1641 New Discovery

Seeing the appraiser who was about to leave after working overtime, Tang Ze embarrassedly pulled him back again.

"There has just been a new development in the case. Please help me identify the fingerprints. The newly replaced buttons on the deceased's work clothes should have fingerprints. Please help me extract the fingerprints to see who changed them for the deceased."

Looking at his subordinates with grimaces, Tang Ze patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you'll get overtime pay today, and I'll give you another day off tomorrow."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

When the young appraiser heard this, his originally mournful face immediately seemed to be filled with blood, and he became steadfast in his promise.

"OK, then I'll wait for the good news for you." Tang Ze warned: "Just put the comparison results directly on my desk."

"Okay, don't worry." The young appraiser responded and quickly concentrated on his work.

After handing over the work, Karasawa and Koshimi Nanatsuki said goodbye and left work.

It was already night now. After returning home, Tang Ze took a shower and chatted with Ayako for a while. Tang Ze, who was thinking about the identification results, quickly went to bed early.

Early the next morning, after Tang Ze made a simple breakfast, he came to the office early and saw the fingerprint identification report on the desktop.

"Mrs. Sawatari's fingerprints were collected on the inside of the button!?"

Koshimi Nanatsuki, who also came here early, said in disbelief after seeing the appraisal report.

"Because it is the inside of the button, and the button was completely attached to the clothes before identification, so this fingerprint can only be left by the person who sewed the button at that time."

Seeing this, Tang Ze smiled on his face: "In other words, the relationship between the two may not be what we imagined.

And do you still remember that little bit of green you found under Mrs. Sawatari’s nails?

The identification result showed that it was the residue of green peas. Think about the stomach residue in the autopsy report of the deceased Kenshin Origuchi? "

“Rice, chicken, lotus root and green peas!?”

Koshizui Nanatsuki's pupils shrank unconsciously when he said this: "Are you saying that the lunch eaten by Kenshin Origuchi might have been cooked by Mrs. Sawatari?"

"Probably."

Tangze nodded and said: "Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Zhezhi ate green peas, and Mrs. Sawatari happened to have green pea residue under her nails.

After all, when peeling peas, you have to remove the tendons one by one. "

"That is to say, the relationship between the two of them is not that of the victim and the perpetrator, but an intimate relationship where they eat home-cooked meals and chat together."

"If you say so, then the situation has indeed turned!"

Koshizui Nanatsuki said with excitement in his eyes: "Although Origuchi still has Mrs. Sawatari's money stained on his body, there is no way to prove that he stole it!
  After all, if he is the prisoner, then given the close relationship between the two, there is no need for Origuchi to break the lock on the entrance if he wants to enter Mrs. Sawatari's room!

Because Mrs. Sawatari lives alone, she can easily get money when cooking or doing other things. "

"That's right, so I think the murderer is someone else!" Tang Ze nodded.

"If the murderer deliberately created all this, then this prisoner is really terrible." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said.

"Probably not. I'm afraid it's just a coincidence."

Tang Ze shook his head and said: "The situation at that time was too confusing, and all the clues revealed pointed to Origuchi Kenshin.

Even for us, after finding Mrs. Sawatari's residence, our first reaction was to break into and rob the house with Origuchi.

Even if you hadn't discovered the green peas under Mrs. Sawatari's fingernails, we wouldn't have made any breakthrough at all.

From this aspect, you have made a great contribution to this case. "

Karasawa smiled and praised, while Nanatsuki Koshimizu on the side smiled sheepishly when he heard this: "It's too exaggerated, it's just a coincidence.

But I also understand what you mean, senior. You think the reason why this case has turned into the situation it is now is due to our subjective consciousness.

Because at the time, we all thought that Kenshin Origuchi had broken into a house and was discovered by Mrs. Sawatari, and a scuffle broke out between the two parties.

And this judgment affects everyone, whether it is criminal investigators or investigators collecting evidence, everyone thinks so, so the investigation and evidence collection are biased. "

"Yes, that's it."

Karasawa nodded and said: "And there were too many and too obvious clues about Origuchi Kenshin in Mrs. Sawatari's mansion at that time.

When everyone is attracted by seemingly important clues, no one can know the truth hidden in the corner.

I plan to have Mrs. Sawatari's residence be thoroughly investigated again. If the culprit is really someone else, relevant clues will definitely be found. "

Karasawa quickly issued an order to re-investigate, asking the forensic examiners from Kesouyan to mainly look for traces of a third party at the crime scene.

Of course, this is a situation that is easy to say but extremely difficult to do. If it were easy, there would be no discoveries before.

For example, for the hair at the entrance, after all the investigations, no matching ex-convict was found in the DNA database.

In addition, no fingerprints were detected, proving that he was most likely wearing gloves when he committed the crime.

This is normal. After all, if a burglary occurs, gloves will be prepared in advance to avoid leaving fingerprints.

However, difficulty does not mean that there is no way.

With the advancement of technology, even glove fibers can be identified. If glove fibers can be found in the room, there will naturally be further proof.

In addition, according to Karasawa's reasoning, if Origuchi Kenshin's injuries were not caused by the scuffle with Mrs. Sawatari Yasue, then there is a high chance that it was caused by the real murderer.

And this is more reasonable.

After all, Mrs. Sawatari was older. If she wanted to fight with an adult man, she really didn't have the upper hand in terms of strength. The chance of Kenshin Origuchi accidentally hitting his head during the fight was low.

But if it is the real murderer, then the possibility of Origuchi Kenshin being injured is very high.

More importantly, if Origuchi Kenshin wanted to stop the murderer at that time, when the two had a scuffle, Origuchi Kenshin's clothes must have had fibers from the murderer's gloves attached to them!

Although even if this is proven, it may only prove the existence of the murderer rather than directly find the murderer, but it is also a breakthrough.

In addition to investigating Origuchi Kenshin's work clothes, Mrs. Sawatari's residence is also the focus of their investigation.

On the entrance door, there were some fibers stained on the edges of the broken glass shards, the footprints on the ground, and the fingerprints on each cabinet were all the directions for their investigation.

This time, they could be said to have searched half of the Sawado family's residence from top to bottom.

Finally, the fibers on the pleated coveralls had the same shape as the fibers found on the drawer handles.

The source of the fiber has also been found. These are white thread gloves used by workers for work. The circulation volume can be said to be the first in the country. Basically every person on a construction site or doing heavy work will use this kind of white line gloves.

"Doesn't that mean that there are countless of these things in the streets and alleys?"

After Koshimizu Nanatsuki heard the identification results, he couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, although these evidences further prove the existence of another murderer.

But it is still too difficult to find his true identity. "

"Don't be discouraged. Things are not desperate yet."

Tangze held a document and smiled: "I also discovered an interesting thing, take a look."

"List of fiber ingredients?"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki took the document from Karasawa and looked at the ingredients on it, with a strange look on his face: "D lemon terpene, hesperidin, neohesperidin, what are these?"

Even Koshizu Nanatsuki, who didn't know much about the ingredients, couldn't help but frowned when he saw the name, feeling that it had nothing to do with the ingredients of workers' white thread gloves.

"This is the ingredient of orange peel."

Karasawa explained: "In addition, we also detected the same component on the 1 yen banknote found in the pocket of the fold.

Therefore, the orange peel component is most likely a substance contaminated on the prisoner's work gloves. "

"That means that Origuchi is not the one who robbed the money, but he was helping Mrs. Sawatari get back the money stolen by the prisoner."

Koshizui Nanatsuki couldn't help but said: "In this case, the results we previously judged based on the evidence were suddenly reversed."

"There is no way. Who makes these two results too similar? It has nothing to do with evidence, only our concepts of good and evil."

When Tang Ze said this, he also had a look of emotion on his face.

The evidence collected at the beginning of this case is so confusing, it all depends on what you think.

You can think of Origuchi Kenshin as a robber, because he does have Mrs. Sawatari's money on him, or you can think of him as a protector, because he took those things back from the thieves.

But in the early stage, no one thought it was the latter, because they had seen too many cases and knew how many dark things there were in the world.

Therefore, after they saw the evidence, they would subconsciously think that this person was bad. Even Karasawa subconsciously regarded Origuchi Kenshin as the murderer at the beginning.

But the only difference is that although he thinks so subjectively, he still maintains an objective judgment. In addition, the system rewards have not been settled, which further supports his further investigation.

It is precisely because of this that they can discover new clues, confirming that Origuchi Kenshin is not a "prisoner", but a "protector".

"Evidence can also be confusing."

Koshizui Nanatsuki couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, you must always maintain an objective and fair heart, and you must carefully and carefully ensure that your investigation and reasoning have no flaws.

If you hadn't felt something was wrong this time, senior, and insisted on continuing the investigation of this case, I'm afraid this case would have been closed with Origuchi Kenshin as the murderer. "

“After all, as a dead person, he couldn’t speak.

Even his mother was disappointed with him because of what he had done, and thought that was what he would do. "

Tangze said: "If we encounter a case in which the deceased is a prisoner in the future, we should adopt the method of "caution plus one".

To be honest, I was almost thrown away from this case.

It would be really shameful for Origuchi Kenshin to bear the blame and let the criminal go free. "

Koshizui Nanatsuki nodded sadly when she heard this, but she quickly adjusted her mentality, looked at the information in front of her and analyzed: "Since the white thread gloves are contaminated with orange peel, Next, we want to visit the fruit stall near Sawatari Taitian’s house?
  In addition, there are orchards, processing factories and supermarkets.
  These are the only places where you can find fruits like oranges.”

Listening to Koshimizu Nanatsuki's words, Karasawa fell into deep thought. The feeling that he was about to solve the puzzle but something was missing made him frown unconsciously.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

Seeing Karasawa's appearance, Koshizu Nanatsuki said: "Did you think of something?"

"I always have a feeling that I've seen oranges somewhere before."

Karasawa's murmured words made Koshizui Nanatsuki also confused: "Oranges? But during our investigation along the way, we didn't seem to see or come into contact with any oranges."

Koshimi Nanatsuki's question was originally a questioning question, but when Karasawa heard this, a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.

The next moment, a smile appeared on Tangze's face.

"You're right, but just because you haven't seen or come into contact with oranges doesn't mean you haven't seen these ingredients."

Karasawa looked at Koshizu Nanatsuki and smiled: "Thanks to you mentioning fruit before, I suddenly realized that the gloves were stained with ingredients related to oranges, but not necessarily the fruit itself."

"Senior, do you think you already know where the prisoner is?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked curiously.

"Yes, and you have been there too."

Looking at Nanatsuki Koshizui who looked surprised, Karasawa smiled and said two words: "Internet cafe."

Yes, it was the Internet cafe where Origuchi Kenshin stayed at night.

When they went to the Internet cafe to investigate, they saw the clerk cleaning with detergent as soon as they entered the door.

And that fresh taste is exactly that of orange.

Returning to the Internet cafe again, Karasawa found the store manager Shangjing and asked about the detergent.

"That's right. The raw material of this detergent is orange. It is a plant-based detergent, and it has a very good decontamination effect. Our guests come and go every day, and they use this to clean almost every day."

Although store manager Shangjing didn't know why the criminal who suddenly returned asked these questions, he still chose to answer honestly when faced with the questions.

“Then workers’ gloves are also provided, right?”

Tangze asked again. After all, he remembered that when he first entered the door, there was a clerk cleaning at the door wearing gloves.

"They are equipped together." Store manager Shangjing nodded.

"Then, please ask the store manager to lend us all the employees' gloves."

Karasawa heard this request and said, "We have something very important to investigate."

"Okay, I understand." Although store manager Uejing was puzzled by Karasawa's request, it was not something that made him embarrassed, so he cooperated and collected everyone's gloves.
