Chapter 1518 1526 [Case Closed] Request for monthly pass ()
"fax machine?"
Inspector Yasa thought for a long time before he remembered the machine that had a vague presence at the crime scene - as far as he could remember, Nanjo Hayato died against the wall, lying on his back, with his head right in the angle between a closet and the wall.
There did seem to be a fax machine on top of the cabinet, and Jiang Xia had a brief chat with the agent about it.
Inspector Yasa was a little annoyed that he didn't find the problem in time, but he also felt something was wrong. He looked at Jiang Xia dimly:
"Didn't you say that detectives in your area don't like to mess around with crime scenes? Then why was this little guy able to see a certain piece of paper in that pile of papers?"
Jiang Xia didn't seem to feel guilty at all: "I said that we high school detectives don't like to destroy the scene, but he is just a first grader."
At the same time, he said with a hint of condemnation: "Don't change the subject."
“…”
Conan once again experienced the convenience of being a child. He touched the back of his head, and facing Inspector Asa who was looking at them fiercely, he showed an innocent smile that would make Inspector Asa even more angry.
…
No matter what, no matter how determined Inspector Asa was to demonstrate the prowess of the London police, after experiencing three cases that day, he was inevitably very tired, and his enthusiasm for confronting foreign detectives was burned out without him knowing when.
Now he just wanted to finish his work as soon as possible, go home to take a hot shower, and then put on his favorite nightcap to have a peaceful sleep - it was not only these detectives who did not sleep well. Inspector Yassa even worked overtime to deal with the follow-up of the case on the early morning plane.
Inspector Yassa sighed. "Okay, so what happened to the stack of faxes?"
"Those faxes might have been sent at the time of the murder. When the agent shot Mr. Nanjo, the faxes were printed page by page. One of the pages was splattered with blood from the moment the shooting occurred. That was the time of death that was truly accurate to the second."
…
The group quickly returned to the crime scene on the 7th floor.
Inspector Yasa looked at the faxes carefully and actually saw some blood splatters on one of the pages.
There is a time in the upper left corner: "Twenty-one fifty-nine..."
Comparing the situation with the camera footage, the time when the group ran downstairs and heard the "gunshot" from above was 10:15, with a gap of 15 minutes between the two. This matches the detective's reasoning just now.
“…”
There was silence.
After a while, the agent's cold laugh broke the silence:
"I never thought that I would leave so many loopholes...Okay, I admit that I was the one who killed that bastard Nanjo."
Mrs. Nanjo was unsteady on her feet and swayed for a moment, looking at this docile and gentle agent who usually obeyed them like a nanny in disbelief:
"It was really you?! How could you have the heart to do that! Although three years ago, Nanjo shouldn't have encouraged your lover to do it himself without a substitute, your dead boyfriend is already an adult. He dared to make such a judgment. Shouldn't he be responsible for his own life?!"
The agent looked at her, and a murderous aura emanated from her: "If his death was really just a simple filming accident, I would naturally not blame others - but this is not the case at all, he was killed by Nanjo!
“After Kitano died, I helped him pack up his belongings and accidentally found his diary. The week before the accident, the producer talked to him and said that for the next series of Bleach, he was planning to replace the declining Nanjo as the second-generation lead actor.
"Kitano was about to become the leading actor in a movie and reach the pinnacle of his life, but he was so 'unlucky' that he was killed in a bomb... It was precisely because there was no other male lead suitable for "Bleach Jinnai" that Minamijo was able to continue his career as a leading actor.
"I always feel that it's not such a coincidence. Nanjo is just too lucky... And I've worked with Kitano for many years. I know that his skills are not much worse than a stuntman. That scene was not that difficult for him, and it wouldn't have led to his death anyway.
"So in order to find out the real cause of Kitano's death, I endured the humiliation and became Nanjo's agent. That guy has a bad temper and can't keep anyone at all. The successful application for the agent was much smoother than I thought.
"Even better, a few months ago, after Nanjo got extremely drunk, I finally got the truth out of him.
"That guy started talking about his history of making a fortune, and I agreed with him as I always did, and he became more and more proud, and then-"
…
"Satomi."
A month ago, the agent was driving home with Hayato Nanjo.
Nanjo sat drunk in the back seat, looking at his pretty young secretary with a smug look on his face: "Do you remember three years ago, when we were filming 'Bleach Jinnai', there was a poor guy who was killed in a bomb explosion. Haha, if he were still alive, I would have been pushed out of the lead role and wouldn't be able to live my current life."
The agent nodded and said, "I heard that the stand-in was late, so he had to go in person, but something unexpected happened."
"'Accident', hehe, accident." Nanjo Hayato came to the driver's seat:
"You are still too young and don't understand at all - there are no lucky people in this world, only people who work hard.
"How could it be such a coincidence? In fact, it was all because I told the stuntman not to come that day, so I gave him the opportunity to do it himself. Later, when I found out something went wrong, the stuntman knew he might also be responsible, so he naturally didn't dare to spread the word."
Nanjo Hayato was speaking happily and didn't notice the gloomy expression on his agent's face.
He reached into his inner pocket, fumbled around, and took out a screw. He showed it to Yoshino Satomi happily: "Look, do you know what this is? This is my amulet! It's the most important screw that fixes the front wheel of the off-road vehicle."
…
At this point, the agent could hardly suppress his anger: "In other words, Kitano didn't die because of a mistake in his actions, but because that bastard Nanjo removed the screws on the SUV - what's the difference between this and killing him directly?!
"It's a pity that so much time has passed and I forgot to record it at the time... Even if I knew all this, the law would no longer be able to punish him, so I had to do it myself."
Okiya Subaru was hiding aside, trying hard to reduce his presence.
Hearing these words, he couldn't help but look at Nanjo Hayato who was lying in the corner, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart: "..." Such a person could actually live without worries for so many years, and even spent a month happily after saying those words that would lead to his certain death...
