Chapter 688 Hattori Heiji and the Forensic Doctor

Xiang Yuanguang pointed his finger at his forehead.

He thought back to the information he had learned from the police last night.

There are four suspects in this case, three of whom believe that they killed Yasushi Komiyama. They are Kengo Katsumata, Osamu Hoshino and Yumiko Arakura.

Hideo Tsuda was the first person to discover the deceased and the suspect.

…Although in Beika Town, there are often cases where the murderer calls the police and stays at the crime scene as a suspect for Conan to choose from. The last one chosen is tortured for a while and then he slides down and surrenders.

But normally speaking, it’s unlikely that such a case would occur outside of Beika Town…

Unless the missing Tokitsu Junya comes here to give orders to the police, the Shizuoka Prefecture police are really too bold to do this. Aren’t they afraid that they will be promoted by higher-ups?
“Let me confirm in advance, Mr. Tsuda, have you touched the vase at the crime scene before?”

“I mean, did you do anything in the deceased’s lounge that might have left your fingerprints on the vase? Please check carefully whether you did or did not do so.”

“If not, I might use this as an argument to attack the prosecutors at the trial.”

“If you say no now, and then say you suddenly remembered that it did happen, I’m not sure what hairstyle you will leave the court with.”

……What is the problem?
Hideo Tsuda was a little confused.

It’s not that he wanted to confirm whether there were fingerprints or not, but he was a little confused as to why Xiang Yuanguang said that he was not sure what hairstyle he would have when he left the courtroom.

Does his lying have anything to do with his hairstyle?

I heard that Xiang Yuanguang is not only a legendary lawyer, but also a legendary great magician who masters powerful wind magic. I wonder if it is true…

Regardless of that, after hearing what Xiang Yuanguang said, Tsuda Hideo quickly confirmed it again.

“No, absolutely not!”

“The last time I met Mr. Komiyama in the lounge, we just had tea.”

“I won’t touch the vase on the table. After all, it’s not a rare treasure. It’s just the same vase that is placed in every lounge.”

“And what about the vase in your own lounge?”

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and continued asking.

Hearing this, Hideo Tsuda blinked.

It took him a while to realize what Xiang Yuanguang meant, and he quickly responded.

“No, I don’t have a lounge at all. I live at home.”

“So there is absolutely no way there is a murder weapon like a vase with my fingerprints on it. It must have been forged by the real murderer! It’s even possible that the police…”

Hideo Tsuda glanced at the bailiff next to him.

Then he swallowed back the half sentence he hadn’t said.

…Would the police fabricate evidence like this? Sounds unlikely.

If the Shizuoka police simply wanted to close the case quickly, they could have just arrested any one of the three suspects who pleaded guilty. There was no need to arrest Hideo Tsuda, whose motive for committing the crime was questionable, to take the blame.

Everything in the world will leave traces once it is done.

Xiang Yuanguang does not believe that after the Shizuoka Prefecture police have taken such a bold action, they will do something even more bold to make up for it.

Wow————

The chair in the detention center was pushed back.

Xiang Yuanguang stood up and said seriously.

“That’s all I have to confirm about the details, Mr. Tsuda, don’t worry.”

“If the case goes well, you will be directly acquitted in the trial tomorrow.”

The declaration of not guilty after hearing the case information!
After getting Xiang Yuanguang’s promise, Tsuda Hideo breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, the legendary lawyer is different. Others said they would try their best to be acquitted. Xiang Yuanguang said he would be directly acquitted as soon as he opened his mouth, which was really reassuring.

“Then I’ll leave it to you, Lawyer Xiang Yuan!”

Hideo Tsuda stood up and bowed deeply, showing the spirit of a craftsman.

——

After leaving the detention center room, Xiang Yuanguang walked along thoughtfully.

He always felt that something was not right with the case.

If Yumiko Arakura confessed because she was the murderer.

Then why did Kengo Katsumata and Osamu Hoshino plead guilty?
Could it be that he was an accomplice who helped move the body after Yumiko Arakura committed the crime? In order to prevent Yumiko Arakura from being arrested as a criminal, he had to take the blame for her?
The case file does say that the suspect Hoshino Osamu had a good relationship with Arakura Yumiko and there were rumors that she was pursuing him.

But what about Sheng Youqianwu? Bai Xue live? Two followers?
Xiang Yuanguang felt that if Shinkura Yumiko had two followers as accomplices, and both were willing to take the blame for her, that would be a bit too abstract. There was only one person on Honichidai’s side who was willing to take the blame.

He looked at Nanatsuki Koshimizu beside him and asked directly.

“Yueshui, what do you think?”

Koshimizu Nanatsuki answered directly.

“Me? I’ll stand and watch.”

“Xiang Yuan, instead of asking me what I think, why don’t you go find a forensic doctor to help…”

…Forensic doctor? But Asai seems to be busy with something.

And if we call Asai now to take the Shinkansen here, the trial will probably be over by then.

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

“Hey, isn’t Shizuoka Prefecture very close to Osaka?”

“Why don’t I just ask Heiji for help and send a forensic doctor over?”

Hattori Heiji had already returned to Osaka Prefecture.

Judging from this person’s personality, he is likely to be online all day long. If he is fully active, it should not be difficult to get an autopsy report before the end of the trial tomorrow!

He did what he said and directly called Hattori Heiji.

The result was just as Xiang Yuanguang expected.

Hattori Heiji directly said that it was a small matter and it would definitely be there tomorrow.

In addition, he warmly invited Xiang Yuanguang to visit Osaka Prefecture in the future.

He just happened to have a few new cars, so he could take him and Kudo for a ride around the city!
Of course, Xiang Yuanguang declined directly.

He knew without even thinking that the new car that Hattori Heiji was talking about must be a police car.

It’s a brand new police car.

That kind of thing is too abstract. If it were in his previous life, he would probably have directly convinced Bu Heiji that the family should hire an expert.

He put the phone back into his pocket and turned to Yuan Guang.

“No matter what, let’s go and convince the deceased’s family first so that we can lay the foundation for the autopsy when the time comes.”

“It would be a shame if the forensic doctor invited by Hattori Heiji was blocked from entering by the family of the deceased…”

But then again, generally speaking, the family members of the deceased who refuse an autopsy are either the murderer or someone related to the murderer.
