In the Shiodome Gymnasium, after the police officers took away the group of men in security uniforms in the locker room and the man who was originally staying in the utility room with a camera, Officer Megure took pictures of Gao Yuan with a joyful expression.
shoulder, laughed and said:
"Brother Mingzhi, you really brought me a big surprise! You don't know that three years ago, a similar murder case occurred in the room next to this locker room. As a result, our police investigated
Everyone who entered the corridor at that time did not find the suspected prisoner. In the end, the case had to be dropped...
"Now, you actually discovered that there is a secret passage here. Looking at it this way, maybe the incident back then has another direction of investigation... As for the group of people who attacked you, I guess they should be the same as the one three years ago.
The case cannot be separated... Brother Mingzhi, don't worry, leave the next matter to our police! We will definitely get to the bottom of the whole thing!"
Saying this, Officer Memu quickly changed his tone and said somewhat seriously:
"However, Brother Mingzhi, your actions this time are a bit reckless... Although the video you took can indeed be used as evidence for the investigation, it also clearly records your use of violence. If the prisoner pursues the case,
, there may be a lot of trouble..."
"Feel sorry."
Hearing what Officer Memu said, Gao Yuan couldn't help but said:
"After I roughly understood what happened, I couldn't bear it anymore. I just thought that I had to solve the problem as soon as possible, otherwise..."
As he spoke, Gao Yuan glanced behind him at Kashiwagi Shion and the others who were being comforted by Sato Miwako, but he hesitated to speak.
In response, Officer Memu nodded in agreement:
"Indeed. If those images were really spread, it would be really embarrassing for the three girls..."
As he spoke, Officer Memu pulled down the orange hat on his head to cover his eyes at the moment. He paused, then let go of his hand, seeming to relax his mood, and then said:
"Don't worry. If they really pursue the fight, our police will definitely help you find a solution!"
Just as he was talking, Takagi Wataru came up and reported to Officer Megure:
"Officer Megure, we investigated the death scene of the deceased, Mr. Sakano, and our preliminary judgment is that the deceased did die after drinking poisonous coffee laced with cyanide. And based on the drug found by Mr. Akechi, we
It can also be confirmed that the drug stored in the medicine is cyanide, so it can be basically concluded that Mr. Akechi’s speculation is correct.”
Hearing this, Officer Memu nodded and then ordered:
"Okay, if that's the case, then check all the details of the scene as soon as possible. There must be no omissions. Don't give the prisoner any room for quibbles!"
In response, Takagi Sheba nodded seriously and replied solemnly:
"yes."
Then, Takagi Wataru continued to explain another matter:
"However, when my colleagues from the forensic department were investigating the memory card of the camera, they found that the three videos taken today had been artificially erased, and the data had been erased so thoroughly that it was basically impossible to restore..."
"About that..."
Hearing this, Gao Yuan explained:
"I deleted it."
"Ah? That's it..."
Regarding this answer, Takagi Sheba was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment.
Officer Megure probably understood the reason why Gao Yuan would do this, so he asked Takagi Wataru:
"Without these three videos, what impact would it have on the identification of the prisoner's illegal filming behavior?"
"That's not true."
Gao Mushe shook his head and explained:
"After all, judging from hundreds of other video data restored, the fact that the prisoner used a one-way mirror to secretly take photos is irrefutable."
Hearing this, Officer Mumu couldn't help but said:
"That's good. When the on-site investigation is over, you should go back immediately and pull out all the files on the case three years ago. I think I should be able to get something useful by questioning this group of suspects!"
In response, Takagi Shita nodded very seriously and said:
"Okay! I'll do it right away!"
After saying that, Takagi Wataru walked away first with the consent of Officer Megure.
Then Officer Megure looked towards Miwako Sato, signaled in a low voice, and asked Miwako Sato to come over and ask:
"How's it going? Have you finished asking for the confession?"
"Yes, I've asked all the basic questions."
Miwako Sato said:
"It's exactly what Mr. Akechi said."
"Um."
Officer Memu nodded, then thought for a moment and said:
"In this case, let them go back first. They will feel uncomfortable if they encounter this kind of thing... As for Brother Mingzhi, you may also want to trouble you to go back with us and explain all the details carefully.
That’s all.”
"I don't have a problem with that."
Gao Yuan nodded.
Regarding what Officer Megure said, Sato Miwako nodded, and then made some suggestions:
"However, now that our police force is limited, I'm afraid we won't be able to send people back to send them back... and it doesn't seem good to let them go back alone..."
"kindness……"
Officer Megure nodded, feeling that Sato Miwako’s consideration was reasonable:
"In this case, when the on-site investigation is over later, Sato, please take the trouble to send them off..."
Just as he was talking, suddenly, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly appeared outside the door of the scene, greeting Gao Yuan inside the house -
"Mr. Wise!"
Outside the scene, Suzuki Sonoko waved to Gao Yuan inside the room.
Seeing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but stepped forward and said:
"Ms. Suzuki, I'm sorry, I have a case to deal with here, so I might have to trouble you to go back by yourself."
"Ah...it's okay, it's okay!"
Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Suzuki Sonoko smiled broadly and said:
"I was just curious about what happened to Mr. Akechi and why he hadn't come back after being away for so long. But after the concert ended, I saw police cars outside the stadium. I knew that Mr. Akechi must have been involved in some case.
That’s why I came over to take a look. It’d be great to see you’re okay!”
"Well...I'm really sorry for making you worry, Miss Suzuki."
Gao Yuan couldn't help but thank him, and then thought of something again, and couldn't help but say:
"By the way, Miss Suzuki, can you please send them back?"
With that said, Gao Yuan pointed to the five girls Tie Zhuyu, Kashiwagi Shion and said - after all, I don't know how long it will take until the on-site investigation is completed. In this case, if Suzuki Sonoko is willing to help...
"Ah, it's such a small thing! I'll just ask my driver to pick us up!"
Looking at the girls in the room who were wearing singing clothes and had performed on the stage just now, now sitting there with sad faces, Suzuki Sonoko didn't know what happened, but she generally knew that it was definitely not a good thing.
Out of sympathy, Suzuki Sonoko naturally agreed.
So Suzuki Sonoko took Tetsumoroha, Matsunaga Shion, Kashiwagi Shion, Usami Chiyo, and Izumo Yukino, and got into an extended Lincoln arranged by the Suzuki family, and sent Kashiwagi Shion back first.
Apartment to live in.
While in the car, Suzuki Sonoko also briefly asked their names and got to know each other briefly - but when she heard the name "Izumo Yukino", Suzuki Sonoko was also a little surprised.
However, when I thought that there might be someone with the same name, I didn't think much about it.
However, when the Suzuki family's car arrived downstairs at the apartment where Kashiwagi Shion and the others rented, they got out of the car and were about to take them upstairs, when they saw a black "Toyota Century" car with a "Sapporo" license plate.
Stop at the apartment door.
A middle-aged man with a gentle expression but a very dignified look was standing next to the car, bowed to someone in the crowd who was walking by, and said:
"Miss, the chairman is very worried about you. You should go home."
Seeing this, several people present were a little confused, not knowing who the middle-aged man in front of them was talking about.
When it comes to the eldest lady, Tie Zhuyu and Suzuki Sonoko both fit the title, but they did not know the man in front of them.
In response, Izumo Yukino clenched his fists with both hands, then hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped forward and responded:
"Uncle Ye Shan..."
"The chairman already knows what happened recently, so don't make it difficult for him."
The man called "Uncle Hayama" by "Izumo Yukino" couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, "Izumo Yukino" couldn't help but lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly, then turned around and handed the sword-shaped brooch on his chest to Tie Zhuyu.
Requested:
"Miss Tie, please...help me give this to Mr. Detective...it should be my thank you gift. Please help me tell him, I can't thank you in person, I'm really sorry."
After saying that, "Izumo Yukino" bowed to Tie Zhuyu seriously.
Seeing this, Kashiwagi Shion and Usami Chiyo stared blankly at the partner who had formed a group with them, participated in training, performed together, and lived together for more than half a year. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
——
"Shiyin, Chiyo... I will contact you often! I will come back when I have time!"
Saying that, "Izumo Yukino" said goodbye to the two of them with some reluctance, and then followed "Uncle Hayama" and got into the "Toyota Century"——
However, just after "Izumo Yukino" got into the car, the man named "Hayama" also bowed slightly towards Suzuki Sonoko and thanked:
"Ms. Suzuki, thank you for your help today. If you have time, please say hello to your father for me."
After saying that, the man named "Ye Shan" bowed slightly to the other people, then got into the passenger seat and ordered the driver to drive away...
But this sudden change left everyone present at a loss—
"Ms. Suzuki, do you know that person?"
Seeing that the other party specially thanked Lingmu Yuanzi, Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but ask.
In response to this, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but frown slightly and began to think deeply, as if she had indeed seen that person somewhere -
"Ah! I remembered it!"
Soon, Suzuki Sonoko finally dug out some content from her memory, and she quickly became surprised:
"He seems to be the chief legal counsel of the Mitsubishi Consortium, Mr. Hayama!"
After saying that, Suzuki Sonoko was stunned and said blankly:
"Mr. Hayama calls Miss Izumo the eldest lady... Is it possible! She is the eldest lady of the Mitsubishi Foundation? But that's wrong. The chairman of the Mitsubishi Foundation, I remember... his surname should be Mitarai!"
…
"Uncle Yeshan, how did you know I'm here?"
In the speeding "Toyota Century", "Izumo Yukino" was sitting alone in the back seat, looking out the window in despair, and finally asked this question.
"Miss Xuenai, please stop making wild guesses. The chairman has not sent anyone to follow you."
Mr. Hayama replied:
"It just happened that someone saw you in Tokyo, so I sent someone to find you. After all, it has been more than half a year, and the cash you brought out should have been almost spent!"
