The Advent of the Infinite King

Mao Lilan was surprised: "All the robbers in the armored van were killed last time?"

"That's right." Kogoro Mori took off his tie and said, "Shiro Kaizuka was originally a racing driver, and he was killed at his home last night."

Xie Chen thought to himself: So it was a race car driver, no wonder the car was driving so fast, he asked, "Then how do you know they are the robbers of the armored van?"

Mori Kogoro said: "The police found the sketch of the bank that was robbed from Shiro Kaizuka's room, as well as the timetable for the transportation of the cash truck, and the notes they made when they planned the escape route, and other things. "

He took a sip of tea and continued: "Besides they were all shot by the same gun, another person was also killed last night."

"Ah?" Mao Lilan was puzzled, Xie Chen frowned slightly, he guessed who the murdered person was, it should be the guard who carried the banknotes yesterday.

As he expected, Mori Kogoro said, "It's the guard Shuji Nishimura."

Mao Lilan asked, "That Mr. Nishimura is also a robber?"

Mori Kogoro leaned back on the chair, held the back of his head and said, "According to my guess, he must also be an accomplice. He usually likes to gamble, and he even borrowed a lot of money."

He leaned back and put his legs on the table: "I think he was pretending to be threatened by gangsters that day, and he was responsible for opening the door for the robbers in the armored vehicle, because the characteristics of the armored vehicle are absolutely impossible to open the door for the robbers from the outside. Open the car door."

Mao Lilan said: "So, according to this, the two of them were killed by another gangster?"

"There is a possibility." Mori Kogoro said: "The money that was stolen has not yet been seized. It is very likely that this person wanted to keep it alone, so he killed the other two people. investigation in this direction."

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled and said, "I think it will be a matter of time before the criminals are caught."

Mao Lilan wondered, "How do you say that?"

Mori Kogoro explained: "The police found a pink lipstick in Kaizuka Shiro's room."

"Lipstick?"

"The lipstick was checked and found to be the same lipstick as the mask on the evidence, other than that..."

Xie Chen interrupted suddenly and said, "I also use the same lipstick as Miss Hirota Masami at the bank counter window, right?"

"Xie Chen?" Mao Lilan looked at Xie Chen in surprise.

Mori Kogoro nodded, and said, "That lipstick is indeed the same lipstick that Masami Hirota used. She left the bank using lunch as an excuse."

He picked up his teacup and took a sip, "I was thinking, she must have taken this time to go around to the back door of the bank to join Shiro Kaizuka's actions."

Mao Lilan said, "But why do bank clerks want to steal money?"

"It's not clear yet." Mori Kogoro said, "Miss Hirota has already resigned from the bank. It is said that she handed in her resignation letter this morning."

"What?" Xie Chen frowned slightly.

Mori Kogoro continued: "Speaking of this woman, she has only been working in the bank for half a year."

Mao Lilan asked: "Does this matter?"

Xie Chen said expressionlessly: "She went to inquire about the situation in order to commit a crime. From this point of view, it should be correct."

Mori Kogoro picked up the teacup, drank the last sip, leaned back on the chair and said, "That's the way it is."

Xie Chen didn't say any more, leaned on the sofa and began to think. The general situation was indeed like this, but there were still doubts in it. Would a gangster throw the lipstick on the scene by himself?

Hirota Masami spent half a year observing, if he lost in this move, it would be too unreasonable.

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

In addition, the place where the lipstick is stained on the mask seems to be too low. It is not like the mouth, but the part of the chin.

And most importantly, if Masami Hirota had worn that mask, it should have smelled like cosmetics, but there was nothing on the mask at all.

If the gangster who committed this case was someone else and wanted to put all the charges on her, then...

Thinking of this, Xie Chen quietly left the detective agency.

He found a public phone booth and called Police Officer Megure in Kogoro Mori's voice.

"Hirota Masami's address?" Hearing that Mouri Kogoro wanted to inquire about Hirota Masami's address, Police Officer Megure said, "We have already searched there."

"Yes, of course I know this." Xie Chen said, "It's just that I still have some doubts and want to confirm it."

According to the information provided by police officer Mumu, Xie Chen took a taxi to an apartment away from the city center.

Masami Hirota lived in Room [-] of this apartment. Xie Chen knocked lightly on the door, but no one answered, so he took out the prepared thin wire, inserted it into the keyhole, turned it lightly, and the lock cylinder became loose. The door swung open.

After entering Masami Hirota's residence, he walked through the living room to the innermost room.

He needs to find clues here. If the reasoning is correct, Hirota Masami's life is at stake.

After observing in the room, the target was finally locked on the half of the socket exposed behind the desk. Logically speaking, no one would use the desk to block the socket.

He was about to move the writing desk away when there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, so he had no choice but to give up and quickly hide behind the curtains.

Looking out through the gap in the curtains, Hirota Masami walked into the room, seeing her for the first time, Xie Chen was a little bit astonished, her image at this time was very different from when she was working in a bank.

The original ponytail was put down, and it was changed to dark brown straight long hair three to seven points to the right. She was wearing a khaki suit and skirt, with slender legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings underneath, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes under her feet, making her look more mature.

I didn't pay much attention before, but looking at it now, Xie Chen suddenly found that she had a pair of clear sapphire-like eyes, and she should be of mixed race.

Hirota Masami moved the desk, unplugged the socket, took out a key from the socket, and left the room without noticing Xie Chen hiding behind the curtain.

After she left, Xie Chen didn't stay any longer, and chased after her. He stood on the balcony on the fifth floor and looked down. After a while, Masami Hirota walked out of the apartment and got into a red car parked by the side of the road.

Xie Chen quickly took out the launcher and threw it down. Before the red car started, the launcher landed on the rear of the car accurately.
