Ke Xue: An outlaw, a maniac who sets out to usurp the throne! Chapter 143

“We’re still investigating the anesthetic dart incident…” Inspector Megure took a deep breath.

“Lawyer Jiang, about this case?”

Jiang Heng didn’t mention Conan’s involvement; it wasn’t time yet.

Instead, he directly followed Inspector Megure’s query and produced another document.

“The person who impersonated Mr. Mouri to solve the case said that the evidence of Kimie Tsujimura’s murder was—”

“Kimie Tsujimura’s keychain could hide a poisonous needle, but I found that you haven’t tested the keychain for poison reactions…”

Hearing this, Inspector Megure’s expression stiffened.

“I apologize, that was our oversight. I’ll have someone test it immediately.”

“Actually… I had already asked Officer Takagi to do it when I ran into him earlier.” Jiang Heng shook his head, reminding him.

“Uh…” Inspector Megure’s mouth twitched.

Just then, Wataru Takagi walked in, knocking on the door, holding a report.

“Inspector Megure, we tested Kimie Tsujimura’s keychain—”

“We found no poison residue inside…”

“So, Kimie Tsujimura isn’t the murderer?” Inspector Megure immediately forgot his previous awkwardness.

“Evidently.” Jiang Heng nodded without hesitation.

“The space in the keychain is so small. If Kimie Tsujimura really hid a poisonous needle inside—”

“It would be impossible not to leave any poison residue!”

Hmm… As for why the keychain genuinely showed no poison reaction—

Isn’t that obvious?

“This…” Inspector Megure pursed his lips.

Still, he hesitated, “But why did Kimie Tsujimura confess at the time?”

“Of course, because someone threatened Kimie Tsujimura!” Jiang Heng said with a serious expression.

“Huh? Who? How dare they!”

Inspector Megure’s eyes widened, his voice filled with anger.

“Inspector Megure, you should first look at the information in your hand…”

Jiang Heng directly tilted his chin towards the document he had just handed to Inspector Megure, saying without hesitation.

Jiang Heng had no interest in explaining everything from beginning to end.

“Uh… Diplomat Fujita?” Inspector Megure’s mouth twitched.

Suddenly, he felt this file was a bit hot to handle.

However… fortunately, Isao Tsujimura and Ichiro Fujita weren’t major diplomats.

They weren’t entirely untouchable!

Inspector Megure took a deep breath and, driven by the desire to find the truth, examined the information Jiang Heng provided.

“The person who contacted Kimie Tsujimura… although it was an unknown number, I had someone check it—”

“The address where that number was dialed from was indeed near Diplomat Fujita’s home.”

After Inspector Megure finished reading, Jiang Heng stated bluntly.

“The other party threatened Kimie Tsujimura with Sachiko-san’s safety, and Kimie Tsujimura didn’t dare to gamble…”

“In that case, Diplomat Fujita’s suspicion is indeed very high.”

Inspector Megure couldn’t help but stroke his chin, deep in thought.

“But, if there’s no evidence…”

Even for ordinary people, arrests require evidence!

Moreover, this time the suspect was a diplomat.

And the deceased was also a diplomat!

Cases like this… let alone handling them—

Just sitting here thinking about it made his head ache.

“As for evidence… the phone might have been destroyed, but the person who acted…”

Jiang Heng narrowed his eyes, saying meaningfully.

“Although the crime scene was said to be a locked room.”

“But I took a look yesterday, the study window… is actually very easy to tamper with.”

“If the murderer entered and exited the crime scene through the window and poisoned Isao Tsujimura—”

“It’s entirely possible!”

Saying this, Jiang Heng directly took out an evidence bag containing a cigarette butt.

He handed it to Inspector Megure: “This is a cigarette butt I found outside the window at the crime scene—”

“No one would specifically go to that spot to smoke…”

“You can send it for testing; you should be able to extract the murderer’s DNA.”

With that, Jiang Heng also handed Inspector Megure a video.

The content of the video was simple: it showed Jiang Heng from his arrival at the Tsujimura residence to his examination of the surroundings.

In short, it was similar to the function of a police body camera!

Of course, in the world of Detective Conan, police don’t actually use body cameras for solving cases.

Jiang Heng’s video mainly served to prove… that this cigarette butt was indeed found by Jiang Heng near the crime scene!

“Besides, if a diplomat commits murder—” (For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Jiang Heng looked directly at Inspector Megure, enunciating each word.

“I personally believe they wouldn’t choose to act personally.”

“I think this cigarette butt should belong to someone else…”

“You can use this person as a breakthrough to find the real culprit.”

Jiang Heng didn’t say it directly, but Inspector Megure understood Jiang Heng’s meaning—

The case was likely done by Ichiro Fujita…

But Ichiro Fujita probably hired a killer or something to murder Isao Tsujimura…

And if they could find that killer, the rest would be simple!

“I understand.” Inspector Megure suddenly stood up.

“Lawyer Jiang, I’ll have someone test it immediately.”

“If this truly involves Diplomat Fujita, we will show no mercy!”

“Good.” Jiang Heng also stood up directly.

Then, he bid farewell…

As for the rest, the police would naturally handle it!

What Jiang Heng needed to do now was to bail out Kimie Tsujimura.

After all, the results of the poison reaction test on the keychain had come out—

Confirming that Kimie Tsujimura’s murder charge was temporarily not established.

And as a lawyer, Jiang Heng could use this evidence to bail her out…

Of course, because the case itself hadn’t been solved yet,

Although Kimie Tsujimura could go home,

She was also required not to leave Tokyo recently.

After all, strictly speaking, Kimie Tsujimura was still the primary suspect…

By the time Jiang Heng led Kimie Tsujimura out of the detention center, it was already close to noon.

Jiang Heng had driven himself there!

However, as Jiang Heng walked out with Kimie Tsujimura, Sachiko Katsuragi was already waiting outside.

Beside Sachiko Katsuragi was Takashi Tsujimura, whose expression was somewhat complex…

“Mom, are you okay?”

Takashi Tsujimura still instinctively called Kimie Tsujimura “Mom” and instinctively showed concern.

However, his expression was inevitably awkward.

After all, Takashi Tsujimura’s father, Isao Tsujimura, had just died.

And Kimie Tsujimura was previously the main suspect…

But now it seemed that Kimie Tsujimura might not be the murderer.

“I’m fine.” Kimie Tsujimura looked at Takashi Tsujimura with a complex expression.

In fact, before learning the truth of the matter—

Kimie Tsujimura and her stepson, Takashi Tsujimura, had gotten along quite well.

Unlike the selfish Isao Tsujimura,

Perhaps because he was raised by his grandfather, Mr. Tsujimura, Takashi Tsujimura’s character could be described as gentle and kind…

Therefore, even after learning that her ex-husband had been killed by Isao Tsujimura—

Kimie Tsujimura only hated Isao Tsujimura to death and never thought of implicating Takashi Tsujimura.
