Chapter 2058 2066 [What gun? I don’t know]
The living room downstairs.
Hashimoto Maya and Curacao sat up straight with their ears twitching. The DNA of the outlaw reminded them that there seemed to be gunshots upstairs, but after careful consideration, they felt that something was wrong.
On the second floor, the two women who went to wake up the old lady were also shocked. Furukawa Etsuko slammed the door hard: "Mom? Open the door! Open the door!"
Jiang Xia heard the noise and stood up and walked to the stairs: "What happened?"
Furukawa Koji, who had just left, ran over from somewhere and looked up and asked, "What's that noise upstairs? It sounds like it's coming from mom's room. What are you doing upstairs?"
Furukawa Etsuko ran to the railing, her legs weak: "There seemed to be gunshots in mother's room!"
"!"
There was a gust of wind in the hall and everyone rushed to the second floor. Only Xun Zhengwan and Mrs. Xun were unable to react in time and were left in the living room.
Xun Zhengwan looked at the backs of those people, stunned for a moment, and asked his mother in a low voice: "What's wrong with them? If they have guns, doesn't it mean that there are armed lawless thugs on the second floor? Aren't they afraid?"
Mrs. Xun patted his arm to comfort him and whispered, "There are many people and cases in downtown Tokyo. Maybe they are used to it. Now that we are here, we should follow the local customs and go and take a look."
Xun Zhengwan: “…” What’s the point of learning this custom? It sounds scary.
But his mother had said so, and even the gambler and rich second generation had rushed up. In front of the beautiful lawyer and the lovely maid, he couldn't just stay behind, so he had to bite the bullet and follow upstairs.
On the second floor, Jiang Xia was looking down at the bedroom door and asked the three Guchuan family members next to him: "The door is locked, do you have a spare key?"
Furukawa Etsuko shook her head: "This door is specially made. My mother was afraid that someone would come to the room and steal money, so she only left a key. The key should be with her now."
"It seems that the only option is to break the door open."
A large group of people were blocking the door and making a lot of noise. Xun Zhengwan felt a little more confident when he saw this situation.
He wanted to save face for running slower, so he volunteered to knock on the door. Furukawa Koji still remembered that he had to please his mother, so as a filial son, he naturally had no choice but to do it. The two rich second-generations knocked on the door a few times, but the special door did not move at all.
Jiang Xia looked at the door lock, and while the two of them were taking a breath, he kicked over. The door slammed open.
Xunzhengwan: "..."
Furukawa Koji: "..."
Furukawa Etsuko was stunned for a moment: "You are quite skilled."
Jiang Xia said modestly: "My classmate taught me well."
Xun Zhengwan: "Well, actually we broke the door loose, so it was kicked open so easily."
Furukawa Koji chose a more direct way to take credit: "Mom, I opened the door to save you! You..."
Halfway through his words, he stared at the dark bedroom, unsure of which direction to go: "Why don't you turn on the light?"
Jiang Xia leaned over to take a look, then turned on the switch on the wall.
The lights were on, white light poured down, illuminating a figure lying on the carpet. It was a woman in her pajamas, lying on her back, with a bloody hole in her forehead, her eyes full of crow's feet wide open, she died with her eyes open.
“…”
"ah--!!"
…
When it was getting dark, a group of policemen who were about to go off work changed their direction and arrived at the door of Furukawa's house in a police car.
Inspector Megure thought nothing would happen after finishing his morning shift today: "..."
Jiang Xia knew that he had a lot to say, so he pushed Hashimoto Maya over to communicate.
After the police took photos of the scene, he went into the bedroom and took a look at the situation.
There was a trail of muddy footprints in front of the deceased, from the carpet all the way to the window, back and forth. Walking to the window and looking down, one could see a ladder lying on the ground - the murderer must have entered the room from that ladder.
Looking into the room again, I could see the TV remote control lying under the table. Apart from that, everything was very tidy, with no signs of rummaging. The murderer must have fired a single shot and left immediately, not seeking money but only life, with a clear goal.
After staying at the crime scene for a while, when the police returned, they had calmed down.
Miwako Sato was slightly tired, but she turned her tiredness into motivation to investigate the case. She found Jiang Xia with the information: "The deceased was named Furukawa Katsue, 64 years old, and the president of a loan company. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head, and he died on the spot."
She flipped through the pages and saw a photo of the bedroom. "The set of muddy footprints in front of the deceased is exactly the same as the footprints next to the ladder below. In addition, the bedroom door was locked and there was no spare key. The murderer must have broken in from outside."
These traces seem to be able to clearly restore the scene: "The deceased paid great attention to health and wellness, and she would open the windows for ventilation every evening. The murderer must have taken advantage of her habit - the deceased's room happened to be close to the street, so the murderer prepared a ladder and climbed into the second floor when the window was open. After entering the room, the man shot the deceased and left the same way."
Furukawa Koji remembered something and his face turned pale. "My mother was also attacked three days ago. They must have come again! There are so many valuable things in the house, but they didn't take any of them. Are they here purely for revenge? After killing my mother, they won't attack me too, will they?"
Sato Miwako yawned and comforted him weakly: "Don't panic, as long as we find the murderer in advance."
As she said this, she looked at Jiang Xia and hinted quietly with her big eyes.
Jiang Xia received the hint and passed it on to the other side like a relay: "Hashimoto, what do you think? Have you found any obvious doubts?"
Hashimoto Maya, who deliberately slipped into his blind spot: "..."
...How did you know I was here!
Being caught in the act, he reluctantly approached: "If there is any doubt, I think the gun..."
The sound of the gunshot seemed wrong. Although I didn't think about it, the feeling of the gunshot just now seemed a little different from the previous time someone fired a gun indoors.
Hashimoto Maya was thinking, and suddenly froze: No, how could a law-abiding citizen find a problem here - he should know nothing about guns, those are things that only outlaws can own!
Beside him, Jiang Xia's eyes fell on him: "Gun? What's wrong with the gun? Keep talking."
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
He glanced at Jiang Xia secretly, but saw that the famous detective had a calm and composed expression, as if he was just asking questions.
But when Hashimoto Maya saw all this, he couldn't help feeling guilty: Could this be another temptation from the detective?
Don't be careless.
"gun……"
Hashimoto Maya's mind was spinning like crazy. Just when even Sato Miwako looked at him suspiciously, his desire to survive finally broke out and he had an idea: "The location of the shooting is so strange, this must be someone he knows!"
