Kogoro Mouri checked the heartbeat and found that the person was dead. He then took out Meicai's hand and saw that there were seven or eight cuts on her white wrist.
"My sister she...she..." Qingdao Quandai rushed over crying, but was stopped by Chu Ming halfway.
Chu Ming rolled his eyes and said, "Ms. Quan Dai, you are now an important suspect in this case. Stop pretending. Xiao Lan, call the police."
"How could that be? What nonsense are you talking about! How could I kill my sister!"
"Why would a suicidal person set up this place as a secret room? Unless someone deliberately led her death to suicide, that's why you kept hinting to us on your way back that your sister's mental condition was not good, right? And -"
"You're talking nonsense! I gave you tickets out of kindness, but you—"
Seeing that Aoshima Zendai was getting more and more agitated, Maori Kogoro hurried to control the situation: "Okay, okay, Officer Megure will be here soon. Let's talk about the details after he arrives."
Qingdao Quandai thought about the whole incident carefully. Except that it was not a secret room, there should be no other problems. Even if the police came, they would not be able to arrest her without evidence!
Inspector Megure arrived at the scene quickly. After understanding the situation, he sighed deeply before starting to question people.
"The deceased was Qingdao Meicai. The cause of death was a ruptured artery and bleeding caused by a knife wound on her left wrist. The deceased was discovered by her sister Miss Quandai and our famous person who accidentally appeared at the scene-"
Maori Kogoro touched his head with an embarrassed look on his face: "Ahahaha, Officer Megure, what a coincidence, it's you on duty again - yes, it's me, Maori Kogoro~"
"Officer Megure, we didn't come here by chance. Miss Zendai found us in the restaurant and exchanged a ticket for uncle to come here to pick up her sister. On the way here, Miss Zendai kept telling uncle that her sister Mina had suicidal tendencies. Then she kept knocking on the door that was obviously not locked and taped to attract us to come over and discover the body with her..."
After Chu Ming spoke such a long paragraph, his meaning was already very clear.
Inspector Megure also looked at Aoshima Zendai with a suspicious look: "Is that so, Miss Zendai?"
Qingdao Quandai was stunned on the spot. Although what Chu Ming said was true, but with this statement, if she said yes, it would be like she admitted that there was something fishy; if she said no, then every word Chu Ming said was true and could not be denied.
Chapter 176 Do You Look Down on Me?
Qingdao Quandai forced himself to calm down: "Officer, this is what happened. My sister is getting married soon, but she is always unhappy. I took great pains to get three tickets and wanted to take her and her boyfriend to see Miss Yoko's concert. As a result, her boyfriend broke the appointment at the last minute, saying that he had a cold and couldn't go. My sister didn't show up at the agreed place and didn't answer the phone. It would be a waste of time to take a taxi back."
Seeing that everyone was listening to her story attentively, she felt a little proud and continued:
"Just when I was getting anxious, I heard Mr. Maori next to me say that he had lost his ticket. I thought that my sister's boyfriend wouldn't be coming anyway, and Mr. Maori didn't have a ticket, so I used this ticket to exchange for Mr. Maori to come with me to pick up my sister. Isn't that the best of both worlds? After I got home, I went to the bedroom to look for Meicai, but I couldn't find her. There was a sign saying 'Goodbye' on the bathroom with tape, and the cracks in the door seemed to be taped shut from the outside. She had been acting a little unwell before..."
Having said this, she covered her face and burst into tears. Before she could finish her words, people could imagine that she forgot to open the door and try again because she was too worried.
Chu Ming watched this excellent performance of singing and writing with great interest, and exclaimed in admiration.
"I understand. Miss Mina probably really wanted to commit suicide. She taped up the doors and windows with tape. That's probably the reason." Kogoro Mouri held up two evidence bags, which were two bottles of bathroom cleaner that were dumped at the scene.
"The deceased probably thought that mixing two bottles of bathroom cleaners, hydrochloric acid and acid, would produce toxic hydrochloric acid gas, but she did not realize that she had bought the wrong one, so she resorted to the next best option and used a razor to cut her wrists."
"If she really wanted to commit suicide, would she cut the wounds so unevenly and criss-crossly? Usually suicide wounds are parallel, but this one looks like someone held her wrist and cut it." Chu Ming stood aside, leisurely putting pressure on Qingdao Quandai.
"Maybe she was very emotionally unstable at the time!"
"What about the bloodstains on the edge of the bathtub? You're about to commit suicide, but you still have the mind to wipe the bloodstains? The edges of the bloodstains here are very neat~"
Qingdao Quandai tightly grasped the hem of her skirt: "Yes, it's the tape. Maybe the tape was placed there, the blood sprayed on the tape, and then the tape fell into the water."
"Oh, although what Miss Quandai said seems to make some sense, the way you try so hard to find excuses is really embarrassing." Chu Ming leaned against the window with a playful look on his face.
"This gentleman has been targeting me since the beginning. The police officer from the forensic department just said that there are only my sister's fingerprints on these tapes. What do you think is going on? I can't hold my sister's hand and ask him to tear off the tapes!" Qingdao Quandai was furious, as if he was really wronged.
"You've been packing for moving recently, right? I see a lot of corrugated cardboard boxes in the room over there, some of which still have tape residue on them. The edge of the table over there is also sticky, probably because of the tape. I think you're using the excuse of moving to ask your sister to help you tear off the tape and stick it on the edge of the table to make it easier for you to pack..."
"I see. Now the tape is all covered with Miss Mina's fingerprints!" Inspector Megure is like a fence-sitter, he goes whichever way the wind blows.
"You're right. I am the most suspicious person at the moment. But did you see me taping up the cracks in the door? Or did you see me cutting my sister's wrist with a knife? All you said is just speculation."
Qingdao Quandai has now given up and completely calmed down. As long as there is no evidence, all reasoning is in vain.
"Really? - Then..." Chu Ming was just about to let her get what she wanted when the door suddenly opened and Gao Mu ran in from outside.
"Officer Megure! I brought the deceased's boyfriend here. I also asked the salesperson about the convenience store receipt I just found. The items were indeed purchased by Miss Mina, but the salesperson said that Miss Mina did buy two different detergents at first, but later she specifically exchanged them for two bottles of the same one."
"That means she most likely didn't commit suicide!" Inspector Megure was shocked, then turned his head with a serious face.
"Okay Miss Zendai, now that we've confirmed that Miss Mina didn't commit suicide, then - where were you yesterday? Do you have an alibi?"
"I, I bought Ms. Yoko's album yesterday and went back to my rented house to sleep. I haven't gone out since."
"Miss Quandai." Chu Ming suddenly spoke.
Seeing all the Qingdao people looking at him, Chu Ming quietly dropped a trump card.
Chu Ming stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead lightly.
"Miss Zendai's headscarf doesn't seem right."
Qingdao Quandai tilted his head to look at the mirror, his pupils suddenly trembled and his face changed drastically.
"Ms. Zendai's headscarf was a gift from Ms. Yoko's album yesterday. Could you please explain why the 'YóKo' on your headscarf became 'YoKo'? Although it's not clear, the missing stroke seems to be covered by blood. Is this blood from your sister? It doesn't matter. The police can confirm this trivial matter with a simple inspection."
Chu Ming smiled at Quan Dai and said, "If the blood is from your sister, can you tell me how it is possible that you didn't see Miss Meicai all day yesterday, but there was dried blood on the headscarf you just received yesterday?"
Okay, come on, start your kneeling.
Chu Ming stood up straight without leaving any trace, ready to face Ke Xue's usual kneeling and crying.
Unfortunately, no, Qingdao Quandai stood firmly and showed no sign of kneeling.
"Yes, I was the one who killed her."
???
When Kogoro Mouri solved the case, you all cried, knelt, and reflected on yourselves, but you can't do the same when it comes to me?
Do you look down on me?

Chapter 177 Additional update 1
"Why! Why! Why did you want to kill Meicai? Aren't you sisters very close?"
Mina's boyfriend Kenji Kamii looked grief-stricken and couldn't help but question.
Qingdao Quandai laughed at himself: "Really? Maybe it was like this before. We all liked the same things, such as celebrities, clothes, jewelry, furniture, and even -"
All the people in the family looked at Uei Kenji: "Even you, the lover I have been in love with for five years, was snatched away by her..."
"No, that's not the case. It was me. Meicai and I proposed the marriage, but she always disagreed and even urged me to reconcile with you. It was only after I begged her hard that she agreed..."
Chu Ming watched the plot twists in front of him with great interest.
Kogoro Mori and others were lamenting that their sister killed the younger sister whom they cared about very much, but in Chu Ming's opinion, these three people were not good people.
The younger sister is a kind-hearted but slightly disgusting naive girl. She likes everything like her elder sister and even falls in love with her elder sister's man. In the end, she succeeds and gets engaged to him.
The elder sister is stupid and vicious. She is love-brained and is only resentful of her younger sister who stole her man away. She never thought of killing the man.
Kenji Kamii dated the elder sister for five years and finally married the younger sister. He really knew all the tricks of a scumbag man.
It's a bit like the Japanese version of "Empresses in the Palace".
"Ahhhhh Miss Yoko's concert!!!" Kogoro Mouri jumped up as if his butt was on fire.
Chu Ming looked at his watch: "It's too late, it's almost over."
Maori Kogoro was completely disappointed: "My Miss Yoko——"
After finishing the statement, Chu Ming did not take Maori Kogoro's car, but walked back alone.
The vacation given to him by the boss is over, and it is time to think about making new achievements to exchange for vacation. In addition, Vermouth had sent him a message before, asking him to return to the base early.
This is also the reason why he cut the Gordian knot and directly exposed the murderer.
"Little Chu Ming is back?" Vermouth was sitting in the living room watching something. When she saw Chu Ming coming back, she waved at him.
"Sister, is there anything I can do for you?" Chu Ming put the meals he packed on the table. "Sister, have you eaten yet? I brought some when I came back."
"Xiao Chuming is really thoughtful. Sister hasn't eaten yet. Go inside and call Gin. He and Vodka just came back from their mission and they are probably hungry too."
The door of Gin's room was not closed, and Vodka was listening to what Gin was saying with his back to the door. Chu Ming tucked his hands in front of him and tiptoed in like a mouse. He was discovered by Gin after just two steps.
"Is something wrong?"
Seeing that he was discovered, Chu Ming simply straightened up and said, "Brother, you haven't eaten yet, right? I just came back with some curry rice. Why don't you go downstairs and eat first?"
It's so miserable. The fake wines are eating the best fish, meat and other delicacies, while the real wines can only eat fast food together like migrant workers.
When he becomes the BOSS, he will strictly prohibit fake wines that do not contribute much from taking money from the organization. On the contrary, if you want to continue to stay in the organization, you have to pay a deposit and implement a VIP system. The more money you pay, the higher your level will be. The higher the level, the more permissions you will get. Tsk tsk, by then, you can recruit undercover agents from all over the world to make money (ˉ﹃ˉ)
Gin indeed had not had time to eat yet, so upon hearing this he followed Vodka downstairs.
Vermouth usually eats luxurious meals, and although this kind of curry fast food tastes okay, she is not used to it. She just saw Chu Ming brought it back and had a few bites out of consideration.
Gin and Vodka are not picky, they both eat everything.
"Gin picked a few identities for me. I need to go undercover to search for Shirley's whereabouts. Xiao Chuming, which one do you think is good?"
Chu Ming casually flipped through the few documents that Vermouth had just put down.
Tomoaki Niide is the school doctor and basketball club coach of Teitan High School. His father is Yoshiki Niide...
Rina Ikami is an English teacher in Class B, Year 2 of Teitan High School. Both her parents are dead and she lives alone in Shimizu Town. Her boyfriend...
Matsutomo Sora, assistant of the political education department of Teitan High School...
"Why are they all from Teitan High School?" Chu Ming looked at Gin in confusion.
"I prepared eighteen documents, and she picked out the dozen that were not from Teitan High School."
As Gin answered, he nonchalantly picked out the red pepper from the rice, which inexplicably added a touch of worldly flavor to the dish.
Chu Ming continued to turn his head and look at Vermouth with a puzzled look.
"A secret makes a woman women."
"……Fine."
Chu Ming didn't ask any more questions. Vermouth was even more perfunctory than him.
"In fact, I suggest that my sister choose someone whose parents have passed away and who doesn't have a lover. This way, he lives alone and doesn't have any ties. It's best not to choose someone who has a boyfriend or girlfriend."
After all, in the science world, breaking up means one of them becomes a killer.
“What a pity, this Akai Tomoaki is the most suitable one, but his parents are here.” Vermouth’s slender fingers fell on the top stack of information, and her distressed look was particularly charming.
