Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1180 The Real Thief

"Really? I've had enough of this mess."

Ashino Naya grumbled a few words, picked up her bag and stood up: "I want to go back."

"Wait a minute," Shengzhi Lingdai hurriedly stopped in front, "We haven't found out who the thief is yet!"

Ashino Naya said impatiently: "So what? It can't be me anyway. I came here by taxi."

Shengzhi Lingdai couldn't refute it.

She was stolen on the train, and it's hard to say that Ashino Naya, who came by taxi, was a thief.

At the same time, Harashima Tsuneki and Munechika Tameshige also expressed their unwillingness to stay any longer and wanted to leave.

Shengzhi Lingdai was very anxious, but he couldn't force the person to stay, otherwise he might be sued.

Curacao asked quietly: "Kamiya, don't you know who the criminal is?"

She had seen the detective's methods of solving cases. Such a simple theft case should not be difficult for him, right?

Yuya sighed and said, "Ms. Ashino and Mr. Harashima can leave, but Mr. Munechika, I'm sorry you have to come down."

"What?" The three of them turned around and looked at Youye in surprise, somewhat confused about what this young man, who had been silent, meant.

Wakita Kanenori was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood something: "Could it be that the real culprit is Mr. Munechika?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were focused on Munechika Tameshige.

The latter's expression changed slightly, and he said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Yuya smiled calmly and looked at Wakita Kensuke: "This wandering chef detective."

"Huh?" Wakita Kanenori looked at Yuya in surprise.

Yuya said slowly, "Ginger can indeed break down proteins and wash away blood stains, but there is another thing in this store that can also remove blood stains."

"What is it?" Wakita Kanenori asked subconsciously.

Yuya said, "Radish! Radish also contains protease, which can break down protein."

"Just wrap the shredded radish in a handkerchief, gently pat the bloodstained clothes on both sides, then cover the blood stain with a paper towel to absorb it. Repeat this several times and it will be clean."

"And unlike ginger, it's isolated by handkerchiefs and tissues, so there won't be any other stains on your clothes."

"That's why there was no blood on the prisoner's cuffs."

"Can you understand what I say?"

Wakita Kanenori nodded subconsciously.

The words were made so clear that everyone suddenly understood.

Yuya said calmly, "I looked at the menu when I ordered just now and found that the grilled fish comes with grated radish. And you, Mr. Zong Jin, are the only one who ordered this dish today."

"You are the real thief!"

Munechika turned his back and said nothing.

Wakita Kanenori thought for a moment and said, "But maybe he just happened to see grilled fish on the menu and ordered it?"

"No," Youye shook his head. "When he ordered, he asked if the limited-edition grilled fish was still available today, right?"

Wakita Kanenori recalled it and it seemed to be true.

"This means he's been to this restaurant before and is well aware that this dish is on the menu, and that it comes with grated radish."

"Also, do you know why the criminal didn't just throw the bag away, but brought it to this store and hid it in the restroom?"

Wakita Kanenori subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"That's because the person who stole the handbag wasn't a repeat offender. He never thought the owner would find the store using GPS."

Yuya looked at Wakita Kanenori again. "Besides, you could have just gone home and taken off your shirt or thrown it away to destroy the evidence. Why did you come all the way here to wipe the blood off?"

Wakita Kanenori was very cooperative and asked, "Why?"

Yuya replied, "That's because he has things to do next, and it would be very troublesome if there were blood on his cuffs."

"Ms. Ashino is going home to attend the auction tonight, and Mr. Harashima is going home to watch Kamen Rider. It wouldn't matter to either of them if their shirts got dirty, but there's one person who's different."

Yuya looked at Munechika and said slowly, "If I remember correctly, Munechika said that his parents-in-law are very strict. If they saw blood on his sleeves when eating at a high-end restaurant, how would they scold him?"

Everyone's suspicious eyes were fixed on Munechika Tameshige.

The latter's face was very ugly, but he still said stubbornly: "Even if that's the case, it doesn't prove that I am the thief who stole the lottery ticket, right?"

"No, you admitted it yourself."

Munechika was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Yuya raised a finger and shook it. "You just said you came here by bus. Why not take the tram? It's obviously more convenient."

Munechika explained: "I said I don't want to take a crowded train..."

Yuya interrupted him directly: "There's more than one train, there must be a less crowded train, right?"

Munechika pointed at Suzuyo Seiji and said loudly, "But the train she was on was... crowded, ah."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Munechika Tameshige knew that something bad was going to happen.

Yuya asked calmly, "So, how did you know the train she was on was crowded? The only explanation is that you were on that train too."

If he really came by bus, how could he know that the tram to Sanzulingdai was crowded?

This is basically like exploding the truck!

Munechika Tameshige's face turned pale, the briefcase in his hand fell to the ground, and he fell to his knees powerlessly.

Seeing this, everyone understood that this man had admitted his crime.

Wakita Kanenori crossed his arms and asked in confusion, "But that's really unseemly. Why would a rich man who's about to go to a fancy restaurant steal something?"

Munechika smiled miserably. "Because it's not me who has the money, it's my parents-in-law. My wife is a young lady from a wealthy family, and she's used to spending money lavishly. My salary is simply not enough for her. My savings are quickly depleted, and I've even taken on a large loan."

"I was on the tram, thinking about how to ask my parents-in-law to borrow some money, and then I heard that someone won a million in the horse racing lottery, so I..."

Rather than facing his strict parents-in-law, Munechika Tameshige was actually more willing to take the risk of stealing. One can imagine what kind of life he usually leads.
