Kapitel 926 ist nun bei Chinesen aufgeschlagen. Wie erwartet sehen wir diese Woche die polizeilichen Ermittlungen in dem Fall. Keine Pause nächste Woche. Weiter gehts dann mit Kapitel 927 und wahrscheinlich der Fall-Auflösung durch Conan.
Hier die Zusammenfassung des Kapitels von presumenothing:
- title: The staffs’ alibis are?
- Asuka died between 7-8pm, cause of death - blood loss due to severing of the carotid artery, weapon - penknife found next to the body, probably from the back room of the restaurant
- Higo lost his phone (though he thinks he brought it to the restaurant)
- both Yoko&Higo are surprised when Takagi asks if they’re dating, they don’t know about the tabloid article
- when interviewed, the staff tell Megure and Takagi about what happened earlier (first search ~7pm, second ~10min later, text from Asuka ~7.30); the waiter brought Y&H to the store room before going to the back room where he found only the sommelier, the 3 were discussing where the owner could be when Yoko screamed
- Y&H were looking around in the store room because Asuka didn’t return (~7.50pm) when they found the body
- from staff interviews - store room is always kept locked (key hanging on the wall of corridor entrance within sight of the staff, only Asuka had a backup key); his phone is missing; he has been staying in the back room overnight, with spare clothes kept in his locker; he was clean-conscious and vacuumed the back room even after the waitress cleaned it; many cigarette ends found in restroom rubbish bin
- from Y&H interview - storeroom was locked when they arrived; waiter opened it, called Asuka’s name, and waited for a while before leaving; Y&H went in to look around and found Asuka’s body; Higo thinks he left his phone at the table or restroom; Yoko’s phone battery is dead; Y&H were apparently planning to ask Asuka for a favour
- Conan notices a small hole with some wine stained around it on the blanket, and matching hole and winestain on the sleeve of one of Asuka’s jackets in the locker…
- side note: the hole and stain on the jacket… what could be the trick!?
