Chapter 2065 2073 [Curaçao chooses to refuse]
Hashimoto Maya, who finally lowered her presence, said: “?!”
Forget about Jiang Xia, after all, he is my nominal superior, why are you suddenly calling my name too!
Although he was very tired, he couldn't help but feel murderous.
But now, following Lawyer Xun's words, the detectives and the police all looked at him.
Maya Hashimoto could only maintain her good-tempered appearance and smiled: "What did you say?"
Lawyer Xun patiently said, "Before I discussed the client with you, I went to the bathroom. At that time, the landline in my room suddenly rang."
“…” Maya Hashimoto didn’t want to testify for this guy at all, but hiding the evidence at this time would be even worse for him.
He could only reluctantly pretend to be enlightened: "Oh! Now I remember, someone who claimed to be Mrs. Xun called me at that time. I chatted with her for a few words, and then Mr. Xun answered the phone."
It may be that the huge amount of search missions has promoted the temporary increase of IQ. Inspector Megure was smart enough to understand the meaning of Hashimoto Maya's words: "'Calling herself Mrs. Tatsumi', yes! Mr. Hashimoto has never heard Mrs. Tatsumi's voice before, and he has no chance to hear it after the death of the deceased. If the caller was another woman instead of Mrs. Tatsumi, he would not be able to identify her. So..."
"It was indeed my wife who called at that time." Lawyer Xun sighed, as if he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, by the way, because of work requirements, my phone has the automatic recording function turned on. That conversation should have been recorded as well. It's not time for regular cleaning yet, so I should be able to get it at the hotel."
"Uh, I see."
Inspector Megure had not expected this. In any case, this tape was an extremely important piece of evidence, so he immediately called a police officer to come over and have him go to the hotel to retrieve it.
At the same time, he glanced at Lawyer Tatsumi again, his heart beating: this man was so calm and composed, and he took the initiative to provide evidence. It seemed that the person who talked to Hashimoto Maya was indeed Mrs. Tatsumi. In this way, Lawyer Tatsumi really had a complete alibi.
He sighed sadly in his heart and looked at Jiang Xia for help.
Jiang Xia was not in a hurry at all, and was calm and composed. Perhaps this was the self-cultivation of a famous detective. Seeing Inspector Megure looking at him, he said, "Let's listen to the recording first. By the way, to be on the safe side, it's best to contact everyone we need to find."
One suspect is too few, and even murderous intent can't create a catalyst. We have nothing to do anyway, so why not everyone come and join in the fun.
When Inspector Megure heard his words, he became even more worried: I heard that Mrs. Tatsumi is a socialite, with countless relatives and friends, and also many friends of the opposite sex who she can chat with. How long will it take to investigate this?
But no matter how worried you are, you have to work.
He went to Officer Gao Mu and said, "Go investigate the deceased's friendships, especially to find the person who was suspected of having an affair."
Officer Gao Mu also lost two hairs because of the sudden workload, but he was an optimistic person and soon figured it out: Fortunately, nothing was lost in the house, which at least showed that this was not a spur-of-the-moment robbery. Otherwise, he would have to track down the roving burglars... This would be much more troublesome than searching for suspects through the social network.
…
When Officer Takagi went to the hotel to look for the tape, Jiang Xia also followed with Hashimoto Maya and looked around the hotel from top to bottom.
Jiang Xia was already somewhat well-known in Tokyo, and recently, for a commission, he had been staying in this hotel with Xun Zhengwan and Mrs. Xun.
After a few days, all employees from top to bottom now know that he is a detective who has solved many murders, and the police are often seen interacting with him.
So no matter what this detective who was involved in a murder case was investigating, the hotel was very cooperative. Officer Takagi had to follow the procedures when copying the recording. By the time he finished, Jiang Xia had already checked off all the useful clues.
The two of them returned to Lawyer Xun's residence together.
Jiang Xia walked into the room and took a quick look. He quickly spotted a "new female lawyer" hiding in a corner in the hall.
He was a little surprised, so he walked over and chatted quietly: "I thought you must have sneaked back to the hotel, but I didn't expect you to stay here. So you are also interested in solving the case?"
Curacao: “…”
Normally, she could pretend she didn't hear anything and keep silent, but in this case, she had to make it clear: "I have no interest in the case at all."
...In fact, she has always suspected that the reason why Bourbon was targeted by this guy every day, apart from various other reasons, was probably because he opened a detective agency and called himself a detective.
After all, among the ten detectives in Tokyo, seven or eight are fans of Sherlock Holmes, and the remaining two or three are fans of other detectives... In short, everyone loves mystery stories and suspense cases.
So Uzo saw this and played to Bourbon's wishes, and whenever he got the chance, he would create some immersive and thrilling murders for Bourbon.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Curacao reiterated cautiously: "I am just an ordinary civil lawyer and I don't know anything about the case - I only stay because my employer wants me to stay."
Mrs. Xun and Xun Zhengwan were relatives of this lawyer Xun. If something happened to someone else's family, they could still go back to the hotel to rest in advance as they were not involved in the case, but now that their relatives were in trouble, they couldn't just turn around and leave, so they could only stay sleepily.
Jiang Xia sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it. If you watch it more, you will understand the charm of solving cases."
Curacao: “?”
What do you want to do?
Jiang Xia didn't intend to do anything, just to push the person in the direction of the detective. It didn't matter if he failed to push him. He didn't stay for long after communicating with his colleague and continued to walk in.
When he was almost next to the body, he suddenly heard a roar: "It's you! You must have killed He Mei!!"
Jiang Xia looked over and found that a burly young man had appeared next to Lawyer Xun. The man grabbed Lawyer Xun by the collar and pretended to beat him.
Inspector Megure was on the other side just now. When he heard the noise, he rushed over to break up the fight: "What are you doing? You dare to fight in front of the police?!... Hey? Brother Jiang Xia, you're back!"
Inspector Megure came over in surprise and quickly introduced the man who was holding Lawyer Tatsumi's collar to Jiang Xia: "This is Hirose Shunzo, a designer. He is... ahem, a good friend of Mrs. Tatsumi."
Jiang Xia understood: This must be the legendary lover.
Maya Hashimoto remembered that at noon, when Lawyer Xun asked them to find this person, it took more than an hour.
This made him subconsciously feel that this lover was elusive and hard to find, and it was even doubtful whether this person existed.
But they didn't expect that just when they followed Jiang Xia out for a while, this elusive lover suddenly appeared in front of them.
