Chapter 1862-1870 [My script is better than yours]
Naoko Torimaru was unaware of the prayers in Maya Hashimoto's heart.
However, her attitude quickly recovered from her depression.
Naoko Torimaru smiled coldly and looked at Masumi Takamori, who was also taken to the scene by the police to "set a trap" under Jiang Xia's persuasion: "By the way, I'm telling you that it was me who asked your good-for-nothing ex-boyfriend to go to the apartment to intimidate you."
Takamori Masumi was stunned: "What did you say?!...Why would you do such a thing!!"
"Why? Of course, it's to make you my puppet and let me control you." Torimaru Naoko touched her pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes. She took out the cigarette, lit it, and exhaled lightly, and white smoke gradually filled the air.
Hashimoto Maya looked at this scene, and her slightly lifeless eyes suddenly brightened up again: "..." It's like that, it's like that again!
Beside him, Conan quietly looked up at this strange man: "..." What is this guy doing? He seems to be in a weird state of mind. By the way, with this Mr. George... Well, I heard from Jiang Xia that his Japanese name is Hashimoto Maya. Where is the "Edward" who took the same plane with Mr. Hashimoto Maya? Why didn't he show up?
All the disturbance outside the scene has nothing to do with the progress of solving the case.
Jiang Xia confirmed with Naoko Torimaru: "The last dead person's room was left with the scent of the men's perfume that President Inozuka often used, which made Takamori Masumi mistakenly believe that President Inozuka was the threat..."
"It's me too." Torimaru Naoko quickly calmed down and became very cooperative:
"Because I'm sure that as long as Takamori Masumi thinks that the person hiding behind the scenes and threatening her is the 'Funeral Silver Coin', she will definitely use the gun I left behind to shoot President Inozuka.
"This way, the 'Funeral Silver Coin' will be killed on the spot, and the police won't continue to trace it back to me. Even if the police don't think that President Inozuka is the 'Funeral Silver Coin', with Takamori Masumi, the 'real murderer' who actually killed several people, at the front, the police can still get their job done smoothly."
“……” Masumi Takamori stared at Naoko Torimaru blankly.
When she thought that she had actually acted out the script of this senior completely without realizing it, she couldn't help but shudder all over, as if she belatedly saw a terrible spider hanging above her head, with eight eyes staring at her quietly, but she never noticed it.
Masumi Takamori: "..." If Jiang Xia hadn't seen through it all, she might not have known until she grew old and died that the rest of her life was actually being lived out in someone else's script.
"But..." Takamori Masumi didn't want to believe it, "But I was really just impulsive at the time, and I regretted it right after I fired the gun... What if I changed my mind and didn't shoot? How would you have ended it then?"
Torimaru Naoko looked at her with pity: "You will."
Takamori Masumi hated the look in her eyes. Although he was afraid, he stiffened his neck and asked, "How can you be sure that I can do it!"
Naoko Torimaru exhaled a puff of smoke, smiled mysteriously, and said nothing.
Hashimoto Maya nodded secretly in her heart and struggled desperately: "..." That's right, it was this kind of mysterious power, this kind of aloofness that said, "Are you mortals worthy of spying on my territory?"
However, before he could finish clapping in his heart, Jiang Xia suddenly spoke up: "Because your experiences are very similar."
Hashimoto Maya: “?”
Takamori Masumi: "!"
Torimaru Naoko: “?!”
Jiang Xia looked at Takamori Masumi and explained, "Because your past life experiences are very similar, your mentality and personality are also similar. In Miss Torimaru's eyes, you are probably just like the immature self of her past. She knows you as well as she knows herself, so she can arrange such a thorough script."
Torimaru Naoko's expression slightly changed, with dark and suppressed emotions surging in her eyes: "...Humph, you speak as if you saw it with your own eyes."
Jiang Xia suddenly said, "Do you still remember the cage of canaries in the hotel lobby? The two little birds were frightened by the guests running around and broke their own eggs with their own claws."
As he described, Naoko Torimaru recalled the scene at that time in her mind.
The corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and she instinctively revealed a hint of disgust.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at her, and was suddenly stunned. She blurted out: "Your reaction... is similar to that of Masumi at that time."
When she was in elementary school, Masumi Takamori had a similar expression when she saw two birds in her class breaking their eggs - because the fact that Masumi Takamori slapped the birdcage to the ground was really shocking to the young Suzuki Sonoko, so she was deeply impressed by it.
Jiang Xia nodded and looked at Torimaru Naoko: "Takamori-san did that because the pair of birds reminded her of her parents who abandoned her. What about you? Why do you have the same expression?"
Naoko Torimaru didn't say anything, but twisted the cigarette in her hand with her slender fingertips, and it gradually became deformed.
After she let out a murderous look for a while, Jiang Xia continued, "I heard from your childhood sweetheart that you were abandoned by your parents when you were in elementary school. After that, you had to stay in relatives' homes until you met President Izuka who appreciated you, and then you finally settled down.
"This is almost exactly the same as Gao Sen's life trajectory. And you and Gao Sen's thinking and behavior patterns are also very similar. After working together for so long, you must have discovered this."
“…”
Torimaru Naoko pinched her nose and sighed helplessly: "I thought I knew human nature and human hearts very well, but I didn't expect to lose to a high school student... If I hadn't seen you for the first time these few days, I would have suspected that you had installed surveillance cameras around me."
All murderers seem to have the same valuable quality - as long as their motives are exposed and their methods are seen through, they will tell everything and be easy to talk to and cooperate.
This time, before Jiang Xia could say anything else, Torimaru Naoko took the initiative to say:
“Just like Masumi once had a scumbag ex-boyfriend, I also encountered a scumbag like that in my past.
"That night nine years ago was the beginning of all the tragedies. At that time, I had just been promoted to the top model of Putuo. Everyone gathered around me to congratulate me, and I thought I would say goodbye to the miserable wandering life before.
"But all of this was ruined by that piece of rubbish - the night after the show, my ex-boyfriend came to my house."
"Before we broke up, I was half-coerced and half-helpless, and I did a lot of illegal things with him. He used this as a threat and asked me for a huge amount of hush money, and then..." Torimaru Naoko sighed, "Then I happened to have a vase at hand, so I took it and opened it for him."
Miwako Sato who was listening silently: "..." Another murder case that has been hidden for many years... Why is there more and more work to do!
