Lan Zexi's silence did not last long.
Before the fingerprints extracted from her notebook could be compared, Yoruichi Toyama thought of a simple and easy way.
He suggested that Mingzhi retrieve the surveillance footage from the hotel corridor, and during the investigation, they quickly spotted a figure entering and leaving Lan Zexi's room.
This discovery immediately caused a wave of jealousy among two men who were also potential fiancés of Lan Zexi.
The person who could freely enter and leave Aizawa Akane's room, and who seemed to stay for quite a while each time, was none other than the third candidate, Aizawa Chairman's private physician, Mitsui Fumiya.
The surveillance footage shows that he and Lan Zexi were very close.
"No! That's not it..." Under the strange looks of the crowd, Lan Zexi seemed to be trying to explain, but she could only say half of what she wanted to say before she could not continue.
She knew, of course, that all she needed to do next was compare Mitsui Fumiya's fingerprints with those left in her notebook.
Judging from her expression, it was almost certain.
In this situation, a normal person would abandon pointless explanations.
Lan Zexi's performance perfectly portrays a young woman who is somewhat love-struck but is mostly controlled by rationality.
Flawless.
Yoruichi Toyama, observing coldly from the sidelines, thought to herself.
Perhaps the conversation at the restaurant can be seen as the decision by which the eldest daughter of the Lanze family to discard her so-called lover as a pawn in order to protect her vested interests.
If we say that Fujishima Takumi and Suo Takeshi, who went to great lengths to curry favor with the wealthy, were on the first level.
Mitsui Fumiya, who plans to use Aizawa Akane's feelings for him to achieve certain goals, is also on the second floor.
Then Lan Zexi, this unassuming queen bee, must be several levels higher than them.
...
Mitsui Fumiya, who was immediately subdued by the police, was a far cry from his previous sunny and cheerful self. He cursed and laughed maniacally.
"You all deserve to die... Hahahaha... You despicable people will all face judgment on the day of the apocalypse..."
This kind of word choice is no different from that of the eccentric King Cesar of the Kingdom of Neom.
"Alright, next we'll check this person's address to see if there's any evidence of contact with his subordinates, that should be enough."
Mingzhi took off his glasses, pinched his brow with his fingers, and showed a hint of fatigue.
Of the police officers and detectives present, only he, Shiratori, and Yoruichi Toyama had truly stayed up all night and half a day.
Hattori Heiji, who was full of energy after a good night's sleep, stared wide-eyed.
"Huh? Aren't you going to interrogate him and find out his motives for doing this?"
Throughout the entire incident, he and Hakuba Saguru were involved far too little, and at this point, they inevitably felt a bit unsatisfied.
Knowing how the high school detective felt, Yoruichi Toyama chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.
But before he could even speak, someone else beat him to it.
Are you stupid?
Hakuba Saguru's expression was one of undisguised mockery.
"Detectives want to investigate motives in order to make their reasoning complete and to find the truth as quickly as possible."
"The criminal is right in front of us, and he's confessed himself. What the police need to do is establish evidence that makes it impossible for him to escape punishment, including his motive and so on..."
He spoke at a moderate pace, but his speech flowed smoothly and fluently, and no one had a chance to interrupt him.
Yuanshan Yezhi coughed twice and then came over to take a picture of this person.
We're all brothers in the same camp, so what's the point of constantly taunting each other?
Hattori Heiji's face had turned a dark reddish-brown, then a purplish-red.
"Well, then he can't really admit it..." She was clearly just trying to save face by forcefully refuting the argument, "What if this person is mentally unstable and talking nonsense?"
As Yoruichi Toyama slapped his forehead, Aya Mitsui burst into another round of maniacal laughter.
It's unclear whether it was out of righteous indignation or a desire to confirm Hattori Heiji's suspicions.
"Abnormal? You idiots are the abnormal ones! Especially... especially that woman!"
"My plan, which I had prepared for three years, was supposed to be flawless..."
Although it was an angry and extreme statement, the people present all pricked up their ears.
Based on past experience, this is the prisoner's confession during his final breakdown.
Since we can hear his own motives, isn't that more convenient than interrogating him later?
However, Mingzhi impatiently rubbed his temples and interrupted the madman's speech.
"No plan is without flaws. Once you decide to commit a crime, you will eventually slip up."
"You...you policeman...you damn it..."
Unable to complete the task, Mitsui Fumiya was so angry that he was panting heavily, his gaze sweeping over Akechi like a knife.
"You know nothing, yet you spout nonsense..."
Mingzhi put his glasses back on and gave him a brief, indifferent glance.
"It's just for the young lady of the Lanze family... or rather, her inheritance rights. That motive is far too simplistic."
"It would be a waste of their talents to entrust the task to these detectives and would tarnish their reputation."
Yoruichi Toyama, who was about to reveal the plot, clicked her tongue in disapproval.
You not only hit the nail on the head, but you also flattered the two young masters. That really shows the high emotional intelligence of a bureaucrat.
Thinking about it this way, if this case were solved brilliantly, it would be of great benefit to Young Master Mingzhi's career.
As a brother, I have to help you with this!
My goal is simply to improve my standing with certain people and successfully resolve any cases I encounter.
They're not on the same track as police officers and detectives.
