Unlucky Man - Sosuke Fubuki 15
"No, I also drank a lot at that time and was unconscious..." The humble man suddenly showed a cunning smile, and Kikuchi Koichi answered without guilt, "I heard most of Tsuchiya-kun's situation from my colleagues. It was tiring to attend the cocktail party, and he drank a lot of wine afterwards..."
"Even if I was the one who interviewed Tsuchiya-kun, it doesn't prove anything, right? I don't remember much about what happened a year ago, and I'm only here to provide clues about the motive," the man's smug look flashed across his face, "about Tsuchiya-kun's murder of the president."
Before leaving, Kikuchi Koichi bowed to the two police officers and thanked them for their hard work for the president. Left at the booth were Date Kou, who was holding a toothpick and wondering what he was thinking, and Takagi, who had a serious look on his face.
"Um... Mr. Date," Takagi Wataru looked left and right, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Are you doubting Mr. Kikuchi? Do you think Mr. Tsuchiya might not be the real murderer?"
Let me say here that the Japanese police are well-known for their perfunctory handling of cases. The workplace atmosphere has even reached the point where if you work seriously you are hindering others and will be ostracized. If you cause trouble to others, even the victims will be persecuted by public opinion. The Okinawa police are already eager to rule Tsuchiya Tsutomu's death as an accidental death, but Date Ko insisted that there were still doubts in the case, which involved the truth of the Kujo President case, and requested that the case be postponed.
"Mana," Date Kou nodded, "To be honest, I don't even think that Mr. Tsuchiya died accidentally."
"What did you say?" Takagi Wataru's eyes widened. "No, myocardial infarction caused drowning. Isn't that the opinion given by the coroner?"
"That's the problem, Takagi, you know." Ida Kou's toothpick flew up and down, revealing a worried expression. "Neon's autopsy rate is extremely low, especially for bodies of accidental deaths like this. It's not surprising that most of them are directly cremated. Mr. Tsuchiya's body was not examined until the crime plan was found in his luggage. For this purpose, experts were invited from several counties."
This is true. According to data from the Neon Police Department, in recent years, only 11.7% of unnatural deaths have been examined. The autopsy rate in most European countries is as high as 40%. Japan's low crime rate is due to the autopsy rate.
Date Ko's reasoning continued, "And myocardial infarction... Mr. Tsuchiya was in the water at the time, so why are you so sure it was a myocardial infarction instead of drowning after being drunk? And due to the lack of coroners, Mr. Tsuchiya only underwent an autopsy yesterday..."
"Indeed," Takagi Wataru suddenly realized, "but before that, it was already in the file that Mr. Tsuchiya died of a myocardial infarction!"
"So I went to ask the people who attended the employee party that day," Date Kou's eyes turned to the glass window, which was the direction where Kikuchi Koichi left, "Who said that Mr. Tsuchiya died of a myocardial infarction..."
"Kikuchi Koichi." Maori Kogoro took out his cell phone, and the middle-aged man on the screen greeted the front desk cordially, "This is the person who is scheduled to go on a business trip with Mr. Tsuchiya on February 7th. He is also..."
"He was also at the scene where Mr. Tsuchiya died."
Fang Shuzong stared for a long time without saying a word.
