Chapter 13401348 [Professional Matching]
bean……
"Taeko Umegaki?!"
——This is the name of the assistant. She lives in the shrine and was the first person to be suspected because of the "stone lion" and the "blood letter before death".
So things are back to square one again?
Inspector Otaki stroked his chin and muttered quietly, "Then I guessed right at the beginning."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that it was a bit embarrassing to make such a blind guess, so he coughed twice and pretended that he was just clearing his throat.
Kinoshita Yoko was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Xia: "But I remember when we went out, the person disguised as the deceased passed by Taeko... How could she be the murderer?"
The assistant director's expression changed several times, and he suddenly said, "Actually, I killed Anxi, and then disguised myself as him. I want to turn myself in!"
"It is true that you are the one pretending to be the deceased, but you did not kill him." There was no interesting person to spoil, so Jiang Xia looked at Vodka with regret, then looked at the assistant director who was about to turn himself in, and reasoned dryly, "There is blood splattered everywhere here, and it would be hard for the murderer to be clean. But your clothes are still the same as the ones you wore in the afternoon, and you haven't changed them. The only person in the crew who has time to change clothes and has no alibi is Miss Douyuan. The blood-stained clothes should still be hidden in the shrine now."
Vodka touched his chin silently: It's so complicated. So one person killed someone, and the other person pretended to be the dead person after finding out, helping the real murderer to get away with the crime, and by the way, put the blame on the third annoying guy? The three people went around in circles, each with their own suspicions... Is it because these are all members of the crew, and they are usually related to "acting" and "stage", so Uzo pays attention to professional matching and adds so many scenes for them?
Vodka: "..." Hmm? Wait, on the other hand, according to the principle of professional matching, a cold-blooded killer like me who walks in the dark for many years will definitely not die in an ordinary everyday murder case?
……wrong.
Although there is no evidence, when Uzo was not yet an official member, the code member "Tequila" that he "ran into" was unfortunately involved in a social animal murder case and died without any incident.
And it was because of that case that Jiang Xia came into their sight... Tsk, what evidence do you need? You can tell with a hat that it was Wuzo who killed him. It's a pity that no one in the organization has come to dig up this old account. Maybe they think that it's a good deal to exchange Tequila for Wuzo. Or maybe poor Tequila was forgotten after his death. After all, a dead person can't be valuable to the organization.
While Vodka cherished the memory of his former colleague, he also rationally learned from him: In short, this shows that when Uzo wants to achieve certain goals, he doesn't mind wasting some precious materials.
In other words, one must not take it lightly at ordinary times. Any ordinary murder case may be a life-and-death crisis.
…
While Vodka was engaging in useless reasoning.
Next to him, several eyes looked at him silently: Mr. Yamada is really a serious person. He must be reviewing Jiang Xia's reasoning process and accepting his teachings.
When Suzuki Sonoko thought of this, she couldn't help but pat Vodka's arm with emotion.
"?!" Vodka shuddered and looked at her suddenly.
"Come on! Keep working hard, you can be as good as Jiang Xia!" Suzuki Sonoko clenched her fists, as if to cheer him up.
But after she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and hesitated to change her words: "But to be honest, it's a bit difficult to become as good as Jiang Xia, but even if you can't compare, you can at least learn a little bit."
A vein on Vodka's forehead jumped: "..." Little girl, do you know how to speak?
And he dared to pat a killer on the shoulder without saying hello. It was because he instinctively drew his gun twice just now, but was suppressed by Uzo, so this time he simply gave up drawing his gun, otherwise he would have...
As he thought about it, a cold and murderous aura emerged from Vodka.
But soon, thinking of Wu Zo who was eyeing him covetously, and those policemen who had gradually become Wu Zo's lackeys, he suppressed his murderous intent in his heart.
Jiang Xia: “…”
...Next time when Vodka starts to emit murderous intent, can I take out a baton and knock him unconscious? Will that help prolong the duration of the murderous intent?
He couldn't help but start thinking about this meaningful new topic.
…
Next to her, after all the truth was revealed, Douyuan Taeko lost the strength to hide it as usual.
She sighed, with some hatred in her eyes: "I did kill him, but if he hadn't blackmailed me, I wouldn't have done such a thing."
"Blackmail you?" Nachi Shingo was startled, then showed a look of relief at seeing a fellow sufferer, "You also..."
"I'm not like you, hooking up with a married woman!" Douyuan Taeko immediately interrupted him with disgust, drawing a clear line between herself and this actor who was about to lose his reputation.
Then I continued what I wanted to say:
"When I was in high school, my parents died in a car accident, and I went through a very rebellious period - I skipped school every day, didn't go to class, and only hung out with some bad friends..."
Vodka: “…” This experience sounds more and more familiar the more I hear it.
He couldn't help but steal a glance at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia noticed his gaze: "?"
"!" Vodka suddenly withdrew his gaze and pretended that he had no association at all.
Douyuan Taeko didn't notice his little action and was still immersed in her own memories.
She looked at the dead man on the ground and said sadly: "He was one of the 'social friends' I made at that time."
She suddenly turned to the shrine owner next to her and said, "Grandpa, do you remember? During that time, a set of expensive sacrificial utensils was stolen from our shrine, which caused quite a commotion. They have not been found to this day."
The old god was startled, and suddenly had a bad premonition: "Remember, could it be that you..."
Douyuan Taeko's tears suddenly flowed down: "It's all my fault! When I was chatting with them, I accidentally talked about things at home and mentioned that set of utensils. Who knew that they would be interested in it..."
The old god's beard trembled: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Douyuan Taeko cried even louder: "I thought about telling you! But when I finally made up my mind and wanted to tell you and the police the truth, Mr. Sugiyama, who was in charge of the warehouse, suddenly committed suicide. He felt that it was his responsibility to lose the props. I saw his body hanging in the warehouse and was so scared that I couldn't say anything.
"After that, I severed ties with that group of 'friends', tried to be a good person, and went to school every day. I wanted to hide this sad past in a place where no one knew about it, live a good life in the future, and also wanted to marry Yuta and create a beautiful family together. Who knew..."
