Chapter 2389 2401 [Fall] Ask for monthly ticket (`)
Under the sharp gazes of many policemen, Shuichi Akai could only say: "I just happened to be sitting next to the deceased, relatively close to him, so he grabbed me."
"Really? But why did they only arrest you when there were so many people around?"
The more Inspector Megure looked at this guy, the more suspicious he seemed to him. As Jiang Xia whispered softly in his ear, the inspector suddenly understood.
Inspector Megure stared at Akai Shuichi and slammed his fist into his palm: "Yeah, aren't you the passerby wearing a knitted hat in the bank just now?! I almost didn't recognize you because you changed your hat... Wait, why did you change your hat? Are you deliberately disguising yourself?"
Akai Shuichi: "..."
This change was hidden from the police, but it could not be hidden from Jiang Xia.
...Fortunately, he has been in the industry for so many years and his reputation is not in vain.
The FBI ace calmly said: "It's hotter inside the venue than outside, so I changed my hat."
Mumu Police Department: "..."
I always feel that this person is making excuses, but when I think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense.
At this time, the detective next to him spoke up. Jiang Xia: "Don't worry, let's take a look at the scene first."
"Alas, this is the only way." Inspector Megure wishes that all murderers could be more self-aware and admit their problems, but it is obvious that this wish is difficult to achieve.
He stared at Akai Shuichi for a few more times, and then secretly asked his subordinates to keep a close eye on this suspicious-looking man, while continuing to look at the scene. He squatted down and looked at the coffee cup on the ground that seemed to be poisoned: "The coffee in it has been drunk. Isn't this the kind of poison that will take effect immediately?"
Jiang Xia also looked at the cup, then stood up and looked at the female nurse: "About when did the deceased fall to the ground?"
The female nurse quickly looked at her watch, trying to remember the time.
Then he failed to recall: "I... I don't remember. I was so scared at the time that I didn't even bother to check the watch."
Just then, a voice came from the side: "He fell to the ground at around 2:40, which is when Yuanzi and I called the police and an ambulance."
Jiang Xia turned around and saw Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko walking out.
He looked at the two classmates, and then at the "new doctor" who was following not far away: "..." I always felt like something was missing...
Next to them, the police were also surprised to see these familiar-looking high school students.
Officer Sato looked at Mao Lilan, then looked at Doctor Shinde: "I remember you two were the male and female protagonists of this drama?"
——If I remember correctly, these acquaintances encountered many murder cases while rehearsing the drama.
The chief director of this drama happened to be Suzuki Sonoko, a cheerful and talkative high school girl. As a result, during a murder case, the police were forced to understand the general situation of their script.
But now, Officer Sato discovered that the clothes worn by the male and female protagonists were ordinary casual clothes, which seemed to have nothing to do with the gorgeous prop costumes.
It would be fine if it wasn't mentioned. When Suzuki Sonoko mentioned it, she sighed: "Dr. Shinde was delayed by a case, and Xiaolan went out to find him, but she met an old man who suddenly fell ill. In order to send the man to the hospital, she was forced to be late... Alas, things happened at the same time, but think about it in a good way. Since there is a murder case today, even if they are not late, the drama can't proceed normally. Thinking about it this way, it seems that we have won!"
Vermouth: "..."
She thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure out the logic behind it. In the end, she could only look at the rich girl with pity: "..." This child's brain circuit... has been completely contaminated by Wu Zuo.
The police also scratched their heads, confused by Suzuki Sonoko's calculation method, but fortunately it was not the first day they had dealt with Suzuki Sonoko. Soon, the experienced police put this topic behind them and turned their attention back to the murder case.
Inspector Megure confirmed with the onlookers: "No one should have approached the body before we arrived."
The onlookers were hesitant to speak.
Jiang Xia keenly noticed their abnormality: "What's wrong?"
The female nurse quietly took two steps and hid behind Jiang Xia. Then she raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Akai Shuichi and complained to Jiang Xia in a low voice: "Before you arrived, the gentleman walked to the side and made a phone call. At that time, he bent down and pulled his trouser legs out of the corpse's hand."
Although they were whispering, the surroundings were relatively quiet, so their words were undoubtedly heard by other people nearby.
Inspector Megure immediately looked at Akai Shuichi again and asked: "Did you secretly take any clues or anything like that from the deceased?"
Akai Shuichi: "..."
The dead man's hands were clenched too tightly. If he forcibly pulled his feet away, he might appear too cold and easily arouse suspicion. Considering this, Akai Shuichi pulled his hands a little... He didn't expect that this point would also be noticed.
He looked at the nurse a few more times, and then, in the face of the woman's suddenly horrified eyes and the police's vigilant gaze, he shook his head like an honest man: "Of course not, I didn't touch his hand at all, I just pulled my trouser leg that he grabbed."
Inspector Megure was not easy to fool this time. He touched his chin like Jiang Xia and said, "At the time of the incident, other innocent spectators must have been very panicked. The light in the auditorium was also very dim. If you really did something while you were bending over, I'm afraid no one could see it clearly. If you don't mind, can you let us see what you are carrying?"
Akai Shuichi thought of the gun he carried with him everyday: "..."
...Fortunately, a true ace would never fall into the same pit twice - as early as when his trouser legs were grabbed by the corpse, he had already made plans for the worst and hid the gun and other things that could not be exposed somewhere else.
At this point, Akai Shuichi, who felt that he had successfully predicted the movements of "that person", nodded calmly: "Whatever."
After a pause, when the police came towards him, Akai Shuichi suddenly said: "Actually, compared to me, I think the other gentleman is more suspicious."
"Hmm?" Inspector Megure was not surprised by this situation. After all, there was rarely only one suspect in the cases he encountered. Most of the time, there were situations like the current one where two suspects were found, two suspects were found to be three, and then they had to choose one from the three.
He asked, "Who is it?"
Shuichi Akai raised his hand and pointed at the painter who was painting in the corner.
"Early when the performance started, that gentleman had been concentrating on drawing something." Akai Shuichi looked at the guy who had once caused him a stir and was highly suspected to be Uzo's younger brother. "I took a curious look and found that he was drawing a sketch. The scene in the painting was a person who died of poisoning. The person in the painting was holding a cup of coffee, exactly the same as the coffee in the deceased's hand."
