The Advent of the Infinite King

Mao Lilan continued: "Then she came back here and met Dad, right?"

Mori Kogoro stroked his chin, as if recalling it, and said after a while, "Yes, I remember that time...that must be the bloody coat she wore when she committed the crime, and the gloves she used to commit the crime."

Xie Chen said: "If that's the case, she must have disposed of it while my uncle was sleeping on the bridge."

Mori Kogoro nodded in agreement.

Xie Chen continued: "The clock on the car was also set back an hour when she told her uncle to go before getting in the car, and she only set it back during the period when uncle fell asleep."

"Damn it." Mori Kogoro gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you tease my detective, Mori Kogoro like this."

Xie Chen asked, "Apart from that, is there anything else strange?"

Mori Kogoro crossed his arms, and after a while, said softly: "Ballpoint pen..."

In the evening of the next day, they came to Sachiko Shimamura's apartment with police officer Megure, and told Sachiko Shimamura about the three children they met on the subway together yesterday.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Those kids have seen him?" Sachiko Shimamura frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand what Police Officer Megure was talking about.

Police officer Mumu said: "Your alibi has disappeared. In fact, the time you and Brother Maoli met behind Mihua Middle School was just a few minutes after the murder happened."

Seeing Officer Megure's slightly serious expression, Sachiko Shimamura shrugged and smiled indifferently.

"However, it's possible that the kids you're talking about saw Mr. Mori as someone they saw the night before?"

Officer Meguro said: "It is indeed possible."

Sachiko Shimamura said: "What's more, even if my alibi cannot be established, you have no evidence to prove that I killed Kazumi."

Regarding the sudden visit of the police officer, she did not show the slightest panic, but also handled it with ease and full of confidence.

"You are right, it is indeed very reasonable." Mori Kogoro said: "But I have evidence."

Sachiko Shimamura opened her mouth and looked at Kogoro Mori in surprise.

Xie Chen smiled lightly, it seemed that he didn't have to do anything by himself today.

Kogoro Mori walked up to Sachiko Shimamura, took out a ballpoint pen wrapped in a transparent sealed bag from his arms, put it in front of Sachiko Shimamura and said, "Do you have any impression of this ballpoint pen?"

Sachiko Shimamura's pupils shrank suddenly, her face turned pale in an instant, and she took a step back subconsciously.

Seeing Sachiko Shimamura flustered suddenly, Mori Kogoro said more confidently: "Yes, this ballpoint pen is yours."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, as if the power of the phone was cut off, and just stood there holding the ballpoint pen, as if he had forgotten what he should say next.

Xie Chen sighed, the matter couldn't stop here, so he had to anesthetize Mori Kogoro with a watch-shaped anesthesia gun, and Mori Kogoro leaned back and sat on the stool next to the table.

"this matter……"

Xie Chen hid behind the table, and said in the voice of Mori Kogoro: "Let's go back to the time at [-]:[-] the night before yesterday, when the people from the courier company delivered the package to your apartment."

"Miss Hemei, who was sleeping, came out to answer the door, but she couldn't find the seal. In desperation, Miss Hemei planned to sign with the ballpoint pen on the dining table, but the pen couldn't write anything."

"The delivery person suspected that there was no ink, so he picked up the ballpoint pen and took out the refill to make sure. He found that there was still a little ink in the refill, and he wrote it when Miss Mei wrote it again."

Sachiko Shimamura looked at Kogoro Mori across the dining table, a little dumbfounded.

Seeing that no one interrupted, Xie Chen continued: "After the delivery man left, Ms. Hemei put the ballpoint pen on the restaurant's phone bill, and then went back to her room and continued to sleep."

"Twenty minutes later, you return to the apartment. After entering the room through the gap that you opened the window in advance, you made some noise on purpose. After Miss Hemei was woken up, she killed her directly."

"At this time, you dropped it next to her body as your own pen, picked it up reflexively in your guilty conscience, and went out. Then, when you were dealing with the bloody clothes and gloves in the car, you happened to meet me, You invited me to go for a ride together, and the bloody coat and gloves you committed the crime at the time were placed under the chair in the back seat."

"At this moment, the ballpoint pen in your bag fell out. I don't think you noticed it."

Having said that, Xie Chen paused for a moment, and Sachiko Shimamura became a little at a loss.

So Xie Chen cleared his throat, and continued: "I was sitting in the passenger seat that night, and a ballpoint pen just fell out of my pocket."

Sachiko Shimamura gasped, looked at Mori Kogoro with almost desperate eyes, and wanted to explain, but no sound came out of her throat, and her face was as pale as a dead person.

Xie Chen said: "You should know that, in fact, my ballpoint pen fell off that day, but I picked up your ballpoint pen by accident."

Sachiko Shimamura backed away slowly, Police Officer Megure picked up the ballpoint pen and said, "This ballpoint pen does have your fingerprints and Brother Mouri's fingerprints on it, that's right."

Looking at the ballpoint pen in front of her, Sachiko Shimamura's eyes were a little dazed, as if she hadn't listened to Officer Megure's words, but she knew that she had no way out.

"Besides, on this refill, there are the fingerprints of the delivery man that day, these fingerprints can prove that you have entered the apartment you rented after half past eight, right? "

The corners of Sachiko Shimamura's eyes began to tremble, and tears burst out of her eyes. As if she couldn't stand still, she supported the table with her hands, her shoulders trembling, and she lowered her head and said, "I will kill Kazumi because she blackmailed me!"

Police officer Megure put down the ballpoint pen and looked at Sachiko Shimamura silently.

"A year ago, I used to import and sell a contraband prohibited by law without knowing it."

She took a deep breath, but the tears still couldn't stop streaming down her cheeks.

"After knowing this, Hemei asked me to pay her a fixed amount every month. She threatened me that if I refused, her bank would never lend me money that could be financed. .”

"I had no choice but to accept her threat, but thinking that I would have to work under her blackmail for the rest of my life, I just..."

Police officer Mu Mu said: "If you put your mind to it, you will kill her."

"That's right." Sachiko Shimamura nodded.

"To be honest, when Mr. Maury called me, I thought everything was over, but when I knew that Mr. Maury had set the time an hour earlier, I decided to gamble on my luck."
