Stay away from Conan

"The guy with the sunglasses, brown hair, and dark skin...

“And the guy with the bangs and the moustache…

"And that guy, the one with the beard and glasses who just entered the lounge!"

When Yi Huli and Ping Zhenghui, the newlyweds, arrived at the guest lounge and secretly observed the guests who had visited today, the bride Yi Huli discovered that there were three guests whom she had no impression of and whom she did not know.

In this regard, after learning that the bride had given a suspicious guest candidate, Maori Kogoro and others could not help but discover that -

"Hey? Aren't those three suspicious people the ones who had chatted up Miss Yumi before?"

Xiaolan still remembers clearly that the three people did not recognize that there was anything wrong with Yumi Miyamoto pretending to be the bride, but came directly to greet Yumi Miyamoto as Masuhara.

Therefore, when Inspector Megure heard this, he nodded and said:

"So, they are really suspicious since they didn't recognize Yumi as not the bride even at close range..."

So, just as Inspector Megure was saying this, Inspector Sato also came over. After she found the lounge where Takagi and the others were, explained the situation, and asked Takagi and Miyamoto Yumi to be careful of possible attacks, she returned here and reunited with Inspector Megure and the others.

Just like that, when Officer Sato returned and learned that the three people were the guests disguised as the robber and murderer who had sneaked in, Officer Sato couldn't help but be impressed by the man with glasses and a beard.

So, Officer Sato told everyone about the man who was taking pictures everywhere with a camera, and then used the excuse of having recognized the wrong person when faced with questions from others, in order to remind everyone to pay attention to this suspicious point about this person.

But hearing this, the bride Yi Huli remembered something and couldn't help saying:

"If that's the case, that person might be photographer Uncle Gunji."

"But you don't know him, do you?"

Hearing what Yihuli suddenly said, Officer Shiratori asked in confusion.

“Yes, yes.”

In this regard, the bride Yi Huli did not deny it, but just further explained:

"When I was a kid, he often came to my house to play. At that time, he was thinner and didn't have a beard...

"Besides, as a photographer, he often flies overseas, so we rarely meet him. Maybe my parents wouldn't recognize him right away if they saw him now..."

"I see... In other words, maybe it's someone you haven't seen for a long time and whose face you can't recognize right away?"

Hearing this, Officer Megure nodded, thinking it was indeed reasonable, and then asked:

"What about the other two people? Could it be the same situation?"

Out of caution, Inspector Megure wanted to collect as much information as possible for further investigation:

"Especially the man who refused to take off his sunglasses in the room. Could it be that he was trying to cover up the pinholes?"

After all, according to Yihuli's recollection, when she was attacked half a year ago, she saw needle holes on the exposed eyes of the robber and murderer.

In response to this, when Inspector Megure asked her further, Makururi thought about it seriously and suddenly thought of:

"He looks a bit like Mr. Shimabukuro, who has always been taking care of us in the ski class. He met Masaki in that class, so we invited him as well...

"However, since we no longer ski, and when I knew him before, he always wore a hat and goggles to cover his face, so I can't remember it right away...

"But, it looks like it should be him..."

"I see, so it's a ski school..."

Inspector Megure listened to Makioka's answer, remembered this key point, and prepared to verify it further later.

"And what about the man with the bangs?"

Officer Shiratori then asked.

"Hmm... the only person I can think of is Mr. Qingbian, the administrator of the hot spring website. He is very shy and never comes to online gatherings, so I have rarely seen him in person..."

After carefully considering the entire guest list, Yihuli finally came to this conclusion.

"So it seems that we can't be 100% sure of the identities of these people after all?"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro made this judgment:

"I think it would be better if we could call these three out, obtain their fingerprints, and compare them with the fingerprints of the robber and murderer?"

In this way, Kogoro Mori finally came up with a way to quickly eliminate their suspicion.

"Why? This is so disrespectful to the distinguished guest..."

After hearing this suggestion, Yihuli couldn't help but say this worriedly. After all, if she did this to the guests who had come with great difficulty to her wedding ceremony, it might ruin the relationship.

However, Inspector Megure said in embarrassment:

"But... there is no other way for now... If we want to verify their identities, it will be too late in such a short time..."

--"fingerprint……"

However, at this time, after the bride Masahiro confirmed that the only guests whose identities she was not 100% sure of were those three, Miyano Akemi, who had probably already made some guesses, had completely focused her thoughts on the groom, Taira Masaki, but...

The most important thing is still missing...

fingerprint?

At this moment, after hearing Maori Kogoro mention that they might as well check the fingerprints of the three people, Miyano Akemi suddenly realized something and realized a problem, so she asked Inspector Megure a question:

"By the way, speaking of fingerprints...how do you know that fingerprint belongs to the criminal? Could it be that the criminal didn't wear gloves when he committed the crime before?"

"No, the criminal should have worn gloves when committing the crime."

In response to the question asked by "Takato" played by Akemi Miyano, Inspector Megure answered directly:

“However, in the four cases he committed earlier, one of the victims had a strange fingerprint left on his earring.

"According to the investigation at the scene, we found that there were fibers from the work gloves between the teeth of the deceased. It is possible that when the robber covered the victim's mouth with his left hand and tried to cut his throat, the victim struggled desperately and bit off the robber's gloves. So when the robber continued to commit the crime with his bare hands, he accidentally left the fibers on the victim's earrings.

"And then, at the scene where Miss Yihuli was killed, there was this fingerprint on the kitchen knife left behind. It can be basically concluded that it must be the fingerprint of the robber and murderer."

In this way, Inspector Megure explained the origin of the fingerprints.

As a result, after hearing this, Miyano Akemi's thoughts suddenly became clear, all her doubts were solved, and she couldn't help but smile slightly -

It seems that there is no need to ask guests to check fingerprints anymore, because it is clear who the criminal is! (End of this chapter)
