"It's like this... because I think if there's a criminal witness to testify for me, the police might trust my alibi more..." Kato Akira said in a dry voice.
"Kato...you bastard!!" Chiba was furious when he heard the other party's words. The anger of being betrayed and used by his friend made his honest little round face look a little more ferocious.
"I'm sorry, I really have no other choice... This is the only way I can avenge my girlfriend for being taken away by someone..." Kato Akira slowly recounted the whole story and his motives in a bleak tone.
In fact, when he was on a business trip abroad, he had already heard that his girlfriend Shimura Yui's attitude was getting worse and worse when they talked on the phone.
He even had a bad feeling in his heart, so he was not even surprised when he heard the news that she was going to marry Nakamoto.
However, when he later went to talk to Nakamoto and even sent his blessings to the two of them, he didn't expect the other party to laugh at him for being such a good person, and then threw a bunch of postcards he wrote to his girlfriend when he was on a business trip in front of him.
He even saw signs that the envelopes had not been opened. Considering his girlfriend's statement that she had never seen the postcards, he immediately thought that the other party might have intercepted the letters.
This made him very angry. If the breakup was really caused by him, he would not be unable to accept it, but now it was obvious that the other party was interfering and stealing his love.
When anger swallowed up his reason, the only thought left in his mind was "revenge".
But what does revenge bring? Fear and anxiety, and desperate attempts to escape punishment, but they don’t know that the law is strict and will not let anyone escape.
It is not so easy to cover up what you have done, just like telling a lie. One lie requires more lies to cover it up, and as long as one of the lies is exposed, all the efforts will be in vain.
Killing people out of anger at the moment, Kato Akira's killing this time can't even be considered "revenge", it can only be said that he was just angry and wanted to get a momentary pleasure.
Of course, the deceased was not a good person either. Not only did he use despicable means to steal someone's girlfriend, but he also mocked the victim in front of her. He really thought that the "Minotaur" had no temper and dared not punish him.
From a certain perspective, the deceased's personality also determined that the chance of him being stabbed was much greater than others.
Especially in this world of "science", guys with bad personalities are basically always in the first sequence of victims, and they may end up in death one day.
As for the "widowed" Yui Shimura, it can only be said that she has no reputation for judging people. It is completely reasonable to say that she is responsible for one-third of the case.
Of course, they are mainly responsible for arresting the murderer, and these miscellaneous matters are not within the scope of Tang Ze and his colleagues' work.
At this moment, he was taking time to check the reward after solving the case.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 300 destiny points]
As expected, it was still a "minimum living allowance" salary, but Tang Ze didn't care. Instead, he felt a little happy.
Because with the remaining 500 from the lottery, the 400 after resolving the exchange killing, and the 300 he just got, his destiny points reached 1,200 points.
I can have another ten-pull combo soon!
Moreover, this is the first "luxury" ten-pull draw after the system upgrade. Tang Ze is still looking forward to the reward that can significantly and instantly improve the skill level.
There were four people when they came, but when they left, it became a huge group of eleven people. Fortunately, the car had enough seats, otherwise we would have to ask someone to pick up this large group.
There was no other way. Wu Xiao was just an eyewitness and also the key witness to identify Kato Akira, so he naturally had to go. And Chiba, as the person being used and a criminal, naturally had to make a statement.
The process of taking Kato Akira's statement went smoothly. After all, with both witnesses and physical evidence, and a "you ask me, I answer" approach, it was basically no different from going through the motions.
In addition to that, I took statements from the five little ones. Although they were children, they were frequent visitors to the Metropolitan Police Department and were very familiar with the procedures, so they finished the statements quickly.
But even so, by the time the group left the Metropolitan Police Department, it was already completely dark.
"By the way, Officer Chang, when did you discover that Kato Akira was the criminal?"
As they walked downstairs together, Conan asked curiously, "You must have discovered something at Detective Chiba's house, which is why you identified Kato Akira as the culprit, and then concluded that he dropped the blood-stained clothes and backpack along the way, right?"
"Ah...yes, I looked at the sneakers in his shoe cabinet."
Uncle Chang smiled and said, "I noticed that the inside of his shoelaces was a little damp, but the rest of his shoe was very clean and dry. Isn't this suspicious?
Generally speaking, when you brush shoes, you should remove the laces before cleaning them, right? "
"Is that why you, uncle, judged Mr. Kato to be the criminal?"
Conan suddenly realized: "Because Mr. Kato wanted to cover up the evidence that he went out during the rain, he washed off the mud on his shoes and then used a hair dryer to dry them..."
"That's right. Although it's not like Detective Karasawa, who discovered Kato Akira's method of creating an 'alibi' and was certain he was the culprit, this suspicion alone is enough to support me in ordering a search."
The uncle smiled and said, "But this is only effective if Qianye is not an accomplice. After all, if the two of them were in collusion, the evidence would have been discarded farther away..."
"So this also indirectly proves that Qianye didn't protect his friends and was unaware of the situation." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Uncle, you still trust Detective Qianye."
