Chapter 2423 2435 [Case Closed]
The male member quickly explained: "When I was helping Director Ohba adjust the mascot's clothes, I found that one of the mascot's eyes had some problems. It was very slow to turn, so we unscrewed the eye and took a look."
He glanced at Ohba Satoru and realized something belatedly, but he could only continue to state the facts at the time: "After unscrewing it, a piece of plastic bag was revealed inside. Mr. Ohba said that it might be the filling inside the mascot's eyes, so we put the plastic bag back together."
"So if there were our fingerprints on the bag, it wouldn't mean anything. There were other male colleagues nearby at the time, and everyone can prove that we touched the bag at that time, not at the murder scene."
Ohba Satoru smiled confidently, "So why can't it be like this - someone has a grudge against me, so while Sakurako and I were in the bathroom, they ran downstairs and killed the president."
"Then, in order to pin the crime on me, the man deliberately put the plastic bag he used at the shooting scene into the mascot so that I would touch it and leave fingerprints - what do you think, isn't my script much better than your nonsense of 'shooting the other person's father during a kiss'?"
At the distant corner, an ordinary passerby wearing a knitted hat pulled the brim of his hat and sighed in his heart.
Shuichi Akai: "..." It seems that you have written a perfect script that can exonerate yourself, but in fact, your script is just a story in someone else's script... In the final analysis, you are just a pitiful tool used to make trouble for our FBI.
"Luckily I got away in time this time." Akai Shuichi, who had just slipped away and put down his sniper rifle and new pistol, and then secretly came back to blend in with the crowd, found that his sense of security did not decrease when he was not carrying any weapons, but instead increased.
He stepped out of the crowd and whispered to his companions on the phone, "This building is too conspicuous. We must change the ambush location. You will be in charge of planning it this time. I always feel that the guy knows me better than I thought. I will give priority to your opinions in future decisions."
After hanging up the phone, Shuichi Akai glanced at the arrogant murderer in the crowd from a distance, didn't look down, and turned away quietly.
…
The crime scene.
Inspector Megure didn't expect to encounter such a difficult criminal this time. He was knocked back half a step by the other party's arrogance. After a second, he came to his senses and stepped forward to use his ultimate move: "Brother Jiang Xia, look..."
Jiang Xia continued to push the progress bar unmoved. He looked at Ohba Satoru and said, "I heard from Miss Tatsumi that when you gave her the pearl necklace after the incident, you said this: 'This pink pearl necklace is the same color as your earrings, so it's a perfect match'?"
Ohba Satoru frowned. He carefully recalled what he had said, but found nothing wrong with it. So he regarded it as the detective's last-ditch effort and said coldly, "I did say that. What's wrong?"
Jiang Xia turned off the hallway lights and asked, "How did you know the pearls on her earrings were pink?"
Ohba Satoru was puzzled: "You can tell this kind of thing just by taking a look. If you don't believe me, just do it yourself..." He raised his finger and pointed at his girlfriend, while glancing at the pearl earring on her earlobe.
When he saw the scene clearly, he was stunned and cold sweat broke out on his back.
——In the dimly lit corridor, the earrings that originally emitted a lustrous pink glow seemed to have degenerated into two ordinary black beads without the light.
Jiang Xia also looked over: "Ms. Chen Mi said that she bought this pair of earrings on the way here. Then she ran to the venue and hurried to this dark corridor to meet you. You kissed here, and then you gave her the pink pearl necklace you bought, and said that the necklace was the same color as her earrings...
"The reason you know the color of her earrings is because when the elevator door opened and the president you were about to kill appeared in your range, the light from the elevator also flowed into the corridor."
Jiang Xia finished speaking and turned on the corridor light again: "If the murderer was not you, why did you deliberately open the elevator door when you were kissing?
"Of course, you can also use low-level excuses like 'I happened to see Sakurako on the way here, so I know the color of her earrings', or 'I remembered it wrongly, I didn't say the pearl earrings were pink' to cover up the lie. But there is another thing -
"The gloves you wear when committing a crime can protect your hands and prevent you from leaving fingerprints. But if you fail to destroy them in time, the gloves themselves will become clues that expose you. The grease and skin dandruff on the inside, the source of the purchase... Once you are caught at the real breakthrough point, the lies will become vulnerable in the face of reality."
Compared to the gloves, it seemed that the fact that the secret was let out dealt a greater blow to the script lover in front of him. His murderous aura grew stronger and stronger, but in the end he calmed down.
"'Why do you need to open the elevator door when kissing'... Haha, the answer to this question is too simple." Ooba Satoru was silent for a long time, and his mouth and legs finally softened together. He spoke with hatred, "Of course I did this to avenge my father!"
Inspector Megure heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his words, knowing that the case could probably be closed. This gave him a little more patience: "Your father's revenge?"
"That's right." Ohba Satoru adjusted his suit, which was often worn by office workers, and said sarcastically, "A long time ago, my father also ran a large game company. We had no worries about food and clothing, and lived a happy life - but 20 years ago, President Tatsumi suddenly appeared."
"He approached my father and asked him if he was willing to merge the two companies and build their own gaming empire in the Beika Central Building.
“That guy was really good at speaking, and my father was persuaded by him to join the plan. However, he later found out that the so-called merger was actually a merger.
"My father's company was gradually eaten up by President Tatsumi. The original structure was destroyed, and the old employees were driven away. My father was gradually sidelined and became a vice president with an empty title. Day after day, he finally couldn't stand this gap and chose to commit suicide."
"How is this possible!" Tatsumi Sakurako found it hard to accept the truth that suddenly emerged, "My father is so good to you, he almost treats you as his own son..."
"That's because he feels guilty!" Ohba Satoru sneered, "Because of that guilt, he keeps promoting me in an extraordinary way - promoting me, the son of his enemy who planned to kill him, marry you, and then take over the entire company."
