Chapter 2059 2067 [Ghosts are innocent]
Curacao hid in the dark and saw everything. He was silent for a moment: "..." Being Uzo's subordinate is really a hard job.
Hashimoto Maya was forced to act as a detective: "The muzzle of the gun was on the forehead, and the deceased was lying on the carpet facing the window and his back to the door - the bed was closest to the door in this room, then the carpet in the middle of the room, and then the window.
"If a normal person was sleeping on the second floor and suddenly saw someone climbing in through the window, they would instinctively think that a thief had broken in and run to the door. But the deceased not only did not run, but took a few steps towards the window - that person must be someone she knew very well, so familiar that even if the other person climbed in through the window, the deceased would only feel strange, instead of suspecting that the other person was an illegal intruder."
Jiang Xia nodded in appreciation: "You are really becoming more and more like a detective."
Maya Hashimoto gave a wry smile, and after a moment she forced the corners of her mouth to rise, making the smile look like a real smile from the heart.
Inspector Megure had a mediocre impression of the new detective, mainly because Hashimoto Maya had always appeared as a suspect in his vision, and this deep-rooted concept could not be changed for the time being.
But now, since Jiang Xia also agrees with this long list of analysis, it seems that what Hashimoto Maya said is correct.
With this in mind, Inspector Megure called over his equally exhausted subordinates and said to Sato Miwako, "It just so happens that the son, daughter, and maid of the deceased were all near the scene when the crime occurred. Maybe they know something about the inside story. Go and ask them one by one."
…
In the living room downstairs, the police quickly gathered several suspects, and Sato Miwako pulled Jiang Xia over. A wild interrogation room was formed.
"What happened at the time of the incident?" The maid rubbed her hands nervously.
“Because the old lady was attacked by unknown people three days ago, Miss Etsuko was very worried about her and asked a detective to come and track down the identities of those people.
"But after the detective arrived, the old lady didn't come downstairs, so I went to the bedroom on the second floor with Miss Etsuko to look for her. The old lady's door was locked and we couldn't knock it open. She didn't respond when we called her. We were a little confused when we heard gunshots in the room."
Furukawa Koji nodded: "I was with the detectives at the time. When I heard the noise, I went to knock on the door. When the door opened, I saw my mother lying there..."
"You were not with us at the time." Xun Zhengwan had long disliked this colleague who flirted with beautiful women everywhere, and ruthlessly pointed it out, "You went out at that time, and only appeared in the living room after the gunshots - in my opinion, you are the murderer."
"Nonsense!" Furukawa Koji said angrily, "The murderers are obviously those bastards who attacked my mother three days ago. What does it have to do with me! When the gunshots rang out, I wanted to go out to buy a small gift for my mother, but not long after I went out, I heard strange noises over here, so I hurried back."
Inspector Megure touched his chin, feeling that this dude was very suspicious: "We will investigate the nearby surveillance cameras later to verify what you said."
Furukawa Koji snorted coldly: "Go ahead and check! But you'll be disappointed. There are no surveillance cameras on this entire street."
Miwako Sato was a little confused: "If there is no surveillance, shouldn't you be the one who is disappointed? Unless you are completely innocent..."
Koji Furukawa: "I mean just check it casually, anyway, I didn't kill anyone!"
Inspector Megure was unsure for a moment and touched his chin, a little hesitant.
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Officer Gao Mu rushed in: "Jiang Xia! I got some new information."
After saying that, he saw a fat police captain next to him and said, "Captain, you are here. I was just about to report to you."
Inspector Megure: "…If you have something to say, please say it quickly."
"Oh." Officer Gao Mu had visited the neighborhood before, and now he honestly reported the news he heard from the neighbors:
"The deceased old lady Furukawa did not have a very good reputation among the neighbors. She was especially harsh on the servants. I heard that just this evening, she got mad at the maid for some reason. After she left, the maid muttered something like 'I must make her pay'."
“?!”
Furukawa Etsuko looked at the maid in disbelief: "Could it be you..."
Furukawa Koji: "Haha, I told you that you wouldn't be able to hold on, but I didn't expect it to end this way. So did I win or lose the bet with my friend?"
The maid was stunned for a while, and only came to her senses when she heard them adding insult to injury. She hurriedly said, "It's not me! That's because this evening, I went to serve tea to the old lady, but accidentally knocked the teacup over on the small table. The cup of tea was full, and the watch, TV remote control, newspaper on the table, and the carpet under the table were all wet.
"I immediately wiped off all traces, but the old lady said that I had destroyed the Persian carpet and that I had to pay compensation. Not only did she deduct all my bonuses, she also made me write a promissory note. The amount was really not small, so I said that in anger... But it was just talk! Who would kill their employer over such a small matter!"
Jiang Xia: "Apart from anything else, I have indeed seen a few similar cases."
Maid: “…”
She gritted her teeth and said, "It really wasn't me! When the gunshots rang out, Miss Etsuko and I were both in the corridor on the second floor. How could I have shot and killed the old lady in the house through the door!"
Inspector Megure was convinced: "That's right."
Then he discovered something interesting: "You two were together at the time, so doesn't that mean each of you has an alibi? Since neither of you is the murderer, the only other murderer left is..."
His eyes fell on Koji Furukawa who was watching the fun.
Koji Furukawa was eating a melon when he suddenly got hit by a melon-chopping knife.
He angrily said, "I already said it wasn't me!"
Jiang Xia: "Recall what happened carefully and think about what can prove your innocence."
Koji Furukawa had never thought so much when he was counting cards. He pulled his afro in annoyance and tried to recall: "What could have happened? I just went out, heard the noise, came back, and then banged on the door with you guys. If you must say something is wrong..."
Recalling in order, he actually remembered one thing: "Oh, right, when I was leaving, I accidentally looked at my mother's window on the second floor and saw a bluish-white light in the room. I was curious at the time and wondered what my mother was doing in the room alone, but before I could figure it out, gunshots rang out. I didn't have time to think about it anymore and hurried back."
Furukawa Etsuko snorted coldly: "Bluish-white light? You even made up the will-o'-the-wisp. You're not trying to say that your mother was retaliated by those she forced to death. You actually want to put the blame on a ghost. In my opinion, the murderer is you!"
