Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1086 If You Don’t Want to Die in Silence

"But speaking of which, isn't this lady's nail art a little too exaggerated?" Youya looked at the nail art on the right hand of the deceased. It was a purple base with four small stars surrounding a large star. "It feels a little frivolous and not suitable for her age."

"Yeah," Sera Masumi said casually after taking a look, "and there's a bit too much lipstick on it. The entire thumb nail has been stained red."

The whole manicure was dyed red? Yuya was stunned.

He stared at the manicure, red with five stars... He raised his hand to cover his chest, his heart beating violently, as if there was a throbbing from the depths of his soul that was about to jump out of his chest.

Feeling the throbbing in his chest, Yuya smiled: "I see, this is what the death message means."

I didn’t expect that I didn’t recognize it at first sight. I feel so sorry for this soul in my body.

But the next step is to find evidence that can prove that person is the murderer.

According to the interrogation testimonies of the three people, among the three guests, Yamaki Ayami was the first to enter the fitting room on the far left, and at that time the white sandals were already placed in front of the door of the fitting room on the far right.

Next, the deceased, Ritsuko Sashihara, entered the fitting room.

Because there were people on both sides, she could only enter the fitting room in the middle.

The last person to enter the fitting room was Asayo Futsuka. She entered the fitting room some time after Ritsuko Sashihara. It seemed that she was unable to use the fitting room because her white sandals had been left at the door.

Because of this, she became very upset and would go to check if there was a vacant fitting room almost every minute.

The reason why he insisted on using the fitting room on the right was because he was afraid that he would have an allergic reaction and faint because of the dog hair on the deceased's body and the dog hair that might be on the deceased's secretary, just like last week.

As for fainting due to an allergic reaction to dog hair... I can only say that everyone's physique is different. It seems that his physique is quite sensitive.

But how did the murderer get into the middle fitting room without being discovered by the deceased?

Looking at the clothes the deceased was wearing, they weren't the kind that required help from others to try on.

If someone breaks into a fitting room, the natural reaction is to scream, right? Not to mention having someone wrap a rope around your neck and strangle you against your back.

Unless...the deceased was already unconscious at that time.

At this time, Takagi Wataru ran over with an evidence bag.

"Inspector, the forensic officer found something suspicious in the trash can near the fitting room. It may be related to this case."

Yuya looked up and saw a pair of red scissors, used tape, and cut straws in the evidence bag.

Seeing the straw, Yuya's eyes moved: "Officer Takagi, can you let me take a look?"

Yuya walked over and took the evidence bag from Takagi Wataru. After a careful inspection, he found that one end of the straw had a smooth cut, indicating that it had been cut; the other end had traces of being sealed by high temperature.

Yuya looked thoughtful, if the cut end was originally sealed, wouldn't it become a temporary container that is easy to carry and can be discarded at will?

Just put a hypnotic gas, such as chloroform, in it and use it as an anesthetic.

Thinking of this, Youye opened the evidence bag and sniffed it gently. As expected, he smelled a faint sweet scent.

But even if you fill the straw, it won’t hold enough chloroform to fill the fitting room and make the victim pass out, right?

After returning the evidence bag to Takagi Shigeru, Yuya returned to the fitting room again.

After looking around, I suddenly found a tissue box in the corner of the fitting room.

Looking at the exposed piece of tissue, Youya found something wrong.

That doesn't look like a tissue? Yuya walked over and took one out. He unfolded it and found that it was a disposable translucent head cover.

"Miss Nanbu, what is this for?" Youya turned to look at the female clerk.

The female clerk looked over and explained, "This is a disposable head cover. It is used to prevent customers' makeup from getting on their clothes."

"I see." A smile appeared on Yuya's lips. He already knew how the murderer killed the victim.

At this time, Inspector Megure walked over with three pieces of paper in his hand.

"Brother Kamiya, take a look. These are the sandals that the three of them drew and placed on the right side of the fitting room door."

Youye took the paper and took a look. The sandals drawn on the three pieces of paper were all of the same style, the kind of cross-shaped flip-flops.

Takagi Wataru said in a distressed tone: "It's a pity that there are too many customers here. There is really no way to find a customer wearing these sandals, and maybe that person has already left the building."

"No, it's not necessary." Youya smiled faintly.

"Ah? What do you mean?" Takagi Wataru was a little confused.

"Officer Takagi, please gather everyone together. I already know who the murderer is and how he killed people."

Takagi Wataru was shocked: "What, really? I'll go right away!"

Soon, everyone was gathered in front of the fitting room.

Conan raised his head: "Yuya...Brother, have you got the evidence?"

Damn it! He and Sera Masumi had just confirmed the identity of the murderer and were preparing to look for evidence when Takagi Wataru came over to inform him that You was also going to start reasoning.

The two of them combined and still lost to Youya?

Inspector Megure coughed lightly and said, "Okay, brother Kamiya, everyone is here, please start your reasoning."

Yuya smiled slightly, "No problem."

"First of all, have you ever thought about how the murderer was able to enter the fitting room and strangle the victim without alerting her?"

Inspector Megure pondered, looking at the full-length glass mirror in the fitting room and said, "That's unlikely. Generally speaking, if someone breaks in, the victim will subconsciously scream. Even if he wants to sneak in, he can't escape this full-length glass mirror, right?"

Takagi Wataru nodded in agreement.

Yuya crossed his arms and said calmly, "But what if the victim had already fainted on the ground before the murderer entered the fitting room?"

Inspector Megure was stunned: "The victim fell unconscious? If that's the case, he would not be discovered, but how did he do that?"

Yuya raised his hand and pointed at the box in the corner: "Inspector, look at that."

Inspector Megure looked over and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

Yuya explained: "Male customers may not understand this, but female customers use disposable head covers to prevent makeup from getting on their clothes. They just need to apply liquids such as chloroform to the head covers to make the victim unconscious."

Takagi Wataru pulled a hood over his face with an expression of sudden enlightenment. As a policeman, he naturally knew the effect of chloroform.

Inspector Megure nodded thoughtfully: "I see, so the criminal is carrying a bottle of chloroform? But these three people didn't carry anything like that."

Yuya shook his head: "You don't need a bottle, just use a straw."

"You can seal the two ends of the straw with an ion clip to make it a temporary container. When you need to use it, you only need to cut one end."
