Vol 20 Chapter 124: Mysterious Shoe Print

"Detective Megome." Kogoro Mouri said, "The shoe prints here are connected to the stairs, and the emergency exit door on the first floor to the outside is not locked."

He turned his head and asked Xiang Jiangtian: "By the way, when is your last tour?"

"Two hours before the murder occurred." Jiang Tian said, "but it was indeed locked at that time."

Officer Mumu asked: "Who will enter or leave this building afterwards."

Jiang Tian replied, "There is no one other than the chairman." Officer Megome looked at Eiko Toraya.

"Yes." Eiko Toya said: "Because I have information to investigate, I will be going to the company in about an hour. After staying in the chairman's room for about 30 minutes, I went outside to drink coffee, of course. Going out the door."

"Police officer," said Kogoro Mori: "All this is exactly what Eiko said, it was a crime committed by a robber when he broke through the empty door. After the murderer broke the emergency exit lock on the first floor from the outside, he sneaked into the building."

What he said was justified and well-founded, as if he had actually seen it.

"Then climbed the stairs to the eighth floor. When he passed in front of the elevator on the eighth floor, he happened to meet Miss Taniguchi coming out. The murderer immediately assassinated Miss Taniguchi, and then used the stairs to escape outside."

Officer Mumu lowered his head in thought, and after a while, his opponent ordered: "Okay, investigate the area immediately." Turning to Eiko Toya, he said, "And Miss Toya, we need to collect your fingerprints, please cooperate. ."

"Mr. Police Officer." Hideko Toya said loudly, clutching her chest, "You mean I am also a murderer?"

Officer Megome immediately waved his hands and said, "No, we are trying to find out the murderer's fingerprints, so we say..."

"Basically." Kogoro Mouri interrupted: "You can't be suspicious. Don't worry."

Xie Chen, who was sitting on the sofa by the side, suddenly asked: "Why can't she be a murderer?"

"You stupid!" Kogoro Mouri pinched his waist and said, "Do you know that Miss Eiko and Miss Taniguchi took two different elevators at the same time, and Miss Taniguchi was on the eighth floor."

He analyzed in an orderly manner, "I was assassinated as soon as the door was opened. At that time, Miss Yingzi was on the 15th floor, and there was no elevator to the 8th floor. So, how could she kill Miss Taniguchi? ."

Xie Chen said, "However, we still cannot completely eliminate suspicion."

"Boy, don't interrupt in this kind of professional work!"

"Uh……"

Xie Chen shrugged. He believed that the key to the case should be on the 15th floor, so he took the elevator that went straight to the 15th floor.

After all, it was the chairman's floor, and even the corridors were covered with burgundy carpets.

When I walked out of the elevator, I found a red petal scattered on the carpet. On the right is the office of the chairman of the board, and on the left is the elevator entrance that leads to the eighth floor.

Xie Chen walked to the elevator that went straight to the eighth floor. There were obvious traces of tape on the elevator buttons.

Mika Taniguchi was assassinated when the elevator stopped on the eighth floor, and Eiko Toya was blank for just over a minute.

If you climb the stairs from the fifteenth floor to the eighth floor and then return to the fifteenth floor after killing her, it will take at least four to five minutes.

The problem is where she killed her... Xie Chen paced back and forth between the two elevators.

The direction in which Mika Taniguchi's body fell, blood stains on her shoulders, unnatural clothes creases, petals falling on the ground, and traces of tape remaining on the buttons of another elevator.

At the same time, in the lobby on the first floor, forensic personnel were reporting clues to the case to Officer Mumu.

auzw.com "Are there any fingerprints that are suspected?"

"Yes." The person with knowledge said: "There is no way to check it from the knife or the emergency exit door on the first floor."

"Excuse me..."

Sitting on the sofa, Eiko Toya asked softly: "Mr. Officer, can I go home."

Officer Megumi nodded and said, "Yes, it's about to end here today."

Xie Chen walked out of the elevator just at this time. He frowned slightly when he heard Officer Mumu say this. If he went back like this, the evidence would be dealt with by Hideko Towu.

no solution anymore……

"Miss Maori." Eiko Toya turned his head and said to Maurilan, "I'm sorry, we'll be fine another day."

"Okay." Mao Lilan nodded.

"Then I will go back first."

"I'll take you to the door."

Mouri Kogoro just stood up, a strong sleepiness swept over him, he immediately leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.

While no one else was paying attention, Xie Chen gently adjusted his posture for Kogoro Mouri, leaned on the sofa, lowered his head slightly, and then ran to the sofa and said in Kogoro Mouri’s voice: "Wait a minute, you can’t go back, sorry. ."

"Huh?" Toya Eiko turned around and asked puzzledly, "Anything else?"

"Because..." Xie Chen said slowly: "You are the one who killed Miss Taniguchi Mika."

Toya Eiko's pupils contracted in vain, stopped, as if being dismantled, fixedly looking at Kogoro Mouri.

The others were also shocked and looked at Kogoro Mouri.

"father……"

"What are you talking about, brother Maori." Officer Mumu said, "I remember, didn't you just say that she could not be a prisoner?"

Xie Chen said: "I did say it, but it was just a trap."

"trap?"

"Let me explain first about the shoe prints left in the corridor on the eighth floor. By the way, please sit down first, Miss Yingzi."

Toya Eiko closed his eyes tightly, and when they opened them, their eyes became calm, and then slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.

Xie Chen continued: "That was a trap she made in advance to make Mika Taniguchi's death look like a case committed by a robber breaking through the empty door."

"What do you mean?" Officer Mumu asked.

"Please remember those shoe prints, ordinary people should run away after killing people. In this way, the pace should be very large, but those shoe prints seem to be walking back and forth deliberately, right."

"So that's the case." Officer Mumu said, "I heard you say so."

"Miss Yingzi, you came to this building an hour before the incident and forged shoe prints, and unlocked the door in advance from the inside of the emergency exit on the first floor."..
