Chapter 427: Inaccurate Testimony



Because previous files showed that the first person to discover the deceased, or to witness the murder, was the apartment manager.

So when going upstairs, Tang Ze asked the other party for help again and described the scene he saw that night once again.

According to Takuya Akiyama, the middle-aged administrator with sparse hair, the incident occurred around nine o'clock in the evening.

He was watching a baseball game broadcast on TV when Otsu Toshiyuki's son-in-law, Mr. Masahiko Arima, came over and asked him if he had seen President Otsu, saying that he had forgotten his reading glasses in his restaurant.

The other party opened an Italian restaurant nearby and was the president's son-in-law. He often came here, so the two of them were familiar with each other.

Because there was no one in the office when he was patrolling at 8 o'clock, he answered the other party truthfully.

After hearing his answer, Arima Yahiko was a little confused.

Because according to him, after Otsu Toshiyuki came out of his restaurant, he said he wanted to go back to the office, so he rushed to the company to deliver glasses to his father-in-law.

Because they suspected that the other party did not take the elevator but took the emergency exit, the two thought that it was possible that Toshiyuki Otsu was in the president's office further inside and did not hear it.

So Mr. Arima asked him to help go up and open the door.

Naturally, Takuya Akiyama would not refuse this request, so he took the spare key and went to the second floor with the other party.

After using the spare key to open the door to the second floor, the two turned on the lights and found that the company was empty. They then went directly to the door of the president's office.

However, after knocking on the door and finding no one responding, Arimayaguchi looked through the not-too-wide transparent glass in the middle of the door to see what was going on inside.

When he looked up, he found that there was someone in the room.

After hearing Maya Yayan's words, he hurried over, but saw a horrifying scene through the small transparent glass on the door.

I saw a burly figure holding something and hitting someone, and soon I heard the sound of the person falling down.

After hearing his words, Arima Masahiko hurriedly asked him for the key, but because only Otsu Toshiyuki had the key to the president's office, the anxious Arima Masahiko had no choice but to directly break open the door of the president's office.

After they broke down the door and entered the room, the criminals were no longer in the house. They only saw Toshiyuki Otsu lying on the ground alone.

Arima Masahiko hurried forward to check on the other person's condition and asked him to call an ambulance.

This is roughly what happened. After Takuya Akiyama finished speaking, the three of them arrived at the company door on the second floor.

Because the case happened not long ago, all the employees were on vacation. Takuya Akiyama took out the spare key, opened the company door, and the three of them entered.

As for the president's office, their destination, there had been criminal and forensic personnel coming to investigate, so in order to avoid trouble, the president's office was not closed, which saved a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, we have to contact Arima Masahiko to come and open the door.

After entering the president's office, Tang Ze first looked around at the surrounding environment and layout.

Overall, since it is the president's office, the decoration is still very luxurious.

There are leather sofas, executive chairs and computers that look very expensive, and there is even a cabinet next to the safe for visiting antiques or government awards.

Among them, Tang Ze even saw a clock, and the clock and the little man who rang the clock were even made of gold.

But what is more concerning is the layout of the room.

After entering the room, there is a screen in the room, blocking most of the desk.

Although it is normal for the president to use a screen sometimes when meeting guests, and the safe is behind the screen, it also serves to prevent others from peeking.

However, this layout, combined with the wording of the administrator Takuya Akiyama, seems a little off.

"Detective Sato, stand outside the door and look at me through the small window." Thinking about it was not as straightforward as taking actual action, so Tang Ze chose to experiment directly and asked directly.

"No problem." Although she didn't know what Karasawa was going to do specifically, Sato Miwako still chose to do it.

She walked outside, closed the door, and leaned over the small window at the door. "Okay, what should we do next?"

"Just stay still."

Tang Ze said as he slowly walked towards the safe, "I'm standing where the victim fell now, right? Can you still see me now?"

Watching Tang Ze slowly walk towards the safe, Sato Miwako suddenly realized something and her pupils dilated unconsciously, "Can't see it!? How can I not see it!?"

Miwako Sato quickly opened the door and looked at the administrator Takuya Akiyama beside her and asked anxiously, "Mr. Akiyama, what's going on? Didn't you say that you saw Inoue Takashi beating the deceased with something?

But standing in front of the gate and behind the screen, I can't see anything at all!"

"Ah... Actually, I didn't see it in that direction..." Akiyama Takuya pointed to the wall to the right of the screen. "Actually, what I saw was a figure reflected on that wall...

Because it was late at night and the lights in the room were all turned off, I could only see what was going on inside through the shadows cast by the neon lights shining through the windows.

At this point, Akiyama Takuya looked at the two men's suspicious eyes and said hurriedly, "But I definitely saw it. The criminal took something and kept hitting President Otsu, and then there was the noise after the president fell down!"

"Please be more accurate when you give your testimony." Sato Miwako helplessly held her forehead and said, "If that's all, then the credibility of your testimony as a witness is much lower..."

Tang Ze, who was standing by, pulled open the curtain, looked at the neon sign outside the window, and then began to search the president's office.

Seeing Tang Ze looking around and occasionally bending down to check, Sato Miwako, who was idle at the side, couldn't help but walk over and ask, "Detective Tang Ze, are you looking for something? Can I help you?"

"No, no, I'm not looking for anything else. I'm just looking around to see what I have in mind." Tang Ze stood up and clapped his hands, saying, "I've finished looking now."

"So what are we going to do next?" asked Miwako Sato.

"It's almost noon, let's go eat first?" Tang Ze looked at his watch and said, "I have an Italian restaurant I want to go to."

"Eh? A restaurant?" Sato Miwako was stunned for a moment, but then realized, "Is it the Italian restaurant that Maya opened nearby?"

"That's right." Tang Ze snapped his fingers, "While solving the lunch problem, I'm also going to confirm one thing.

If everything goes well, we can find the real criminal!"
