Chapter 2452 2464 [Vodka: My teammate Mao Lilan]
Officer Sato said regretfully, "So we had to give up this line of investigation and then search like looking for a needle in a haystack for the criminals who might have passed by the crime scene that night."
Maori Kogoro also walked over to look at the file, and soon he discovered something: "This Takahashi's car is a red RV, and the license plate matches... It is indeed the car that almost hit us! This guy is too suspicious. Now I solemnly declare that he is the murderer who installed the explosives!"
"Brother Mori, don't be anxious." Inspector Megure originally had the same idea, but after hearing what Kogoro Mori said, he immediately decided to act cautiously.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia beside him nodded: "It is indeed very suspicious. And since he works in a chemical company, it would be easy for him to get enough explosives to set up the garage."
"But Mr. Takahashi doesn't seem to have any motive to blow up Miss Sakihara." Officer Takagi scratched his head. "Their lives have no intersection at all, and even their residences are far apart... But he followed Miss Sakihara a week ago, and happened to pass by the crime scene today. From this point of view, it is indeed too coincidental."
Next to him, Vodka heard the word "coincidence" and moved uncomfortably.
Vodka: "..." Stupid police, what's there to be confused about. Apparently, Uzo deliberately swapped the knives on the two stages, letting them kill each other's targets separately, in order to show off their skills and add to the fun.
As he came to this conclusion, he secretly looked left and right, trying to see which policeman would react first, so as to determine which guy was most contaminated by Uzo and avoid him in the future.
Then the policemen were all confused, but the fake elementary school student showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, but then quickly stopped and did not speak.
Vodka: "..." This kid can actually restrain his childish nature of liking to show off and not solve the case recklessly when the time is not right? ... Tsk, at such a young age, his emotional intelligence is actually quite high, and he can also keenly perceive Wuzo's intentions. No wonder he can win Wuzo's favor.
Then, Maori Kogoro seemed to have thought of something: "The family of the victim in one case is the suspect in another case... Wait, why does this sound so much like the exchange murders common in mystery novels?!"
Jiang Xia nodded: "In other words, Mr. Takahashi, the husband of the female victim in last week's robbery and murder case, and Mr. Sakihara, the husband of the original victim in today's car bombing case, had an intersection through some opportunity.
"Mr. Takahashi urgently needs a huge insurance sum after his wife's death, while Mr. Sakihara may have some feelings for his wife's sister. The two men who want their wives to disappear have reached a certain consensus.
"Mr. Sakihara took advantage of Mr. Takahashi's alibi and disguised himself as a robber to kill Mrs. Takahashi. Mr. Takahashi then disguised himself as a bomber and planted a large number of bombs on Mrs. Sakihara's car."
"I see." Inspector Megure snorted coldly, "No wonder Kazuo Sakihara had that expression on his face when he saw the suspect's sketch just now - that guy must not have expected that because the bomber looked so... uh, so distinctive, his wife remembered his face because of this."
Vodka: "..." Nonsense! We have the most ordinary faces... Anyway, why are you looking at me when you say this? Are you thinking about other people's appearance in your mind? How rude!
Inspector Megure was indeed wondering in his heart. He suddenly met the eyes of "Mr. Yamada". He cleared his throat and looked away guiltily:
"No matter what, these two husbands are important suspects. Ask them to come over immediately to cooperate with the investigation!"
…
The police rushed to Shinjuku District as quickly as possible and caught Takahashi Hiromasa who was about to escape.
"We found a large amount of leftover explosives in his luggage," the young police officer reported back. "According to preliminary tests, their composition is the same as the explosives used in the explosion this afternoon."
Although the two husbands are very capable, their psychological quality is obviously not that good.
After their trick was exposed in front of them, they didn't spend too much time in the interrogation room before they confessed their crimes with their heads hung low.
"They met at a pub." Inspector Megure returned to the lounge and reported to his enthusiastic brother Jiang Xia, "After drinking too much, they complained to each other about their predicaments and dissatisfaction with their wives. Then Sakihara Kazuo suddenly had an idea and proposed this 'exchange murder' plan.
"They never met again after that. Takahashi Hiromasa memorized Sakihara Kazuo's phone number and would call him from a public phone when he needed to contact him. Sakihara Kazuo then took over the phone line in his study on the second floor of his house and used this dedicated phone to keep in touch with Takahashi Hiromasa.
"Their motive is just as you guessed. Takahashi Hiromasa owed a huge sum of money, so he planned to kill his wife in order to get the huge bail money on her.
"And Kazuo Sakihara gradually got tired of his boring wife and fell in love with his wife's sister, Hiromi Tanaka.
"Recently, Hiromi Tanaka said she wanted to open a clothing store, but she was short of money. So Kazuo Sakihara thought about it and decided to turn his attention to his wife - half a year ago, the parents of the Tanaka sisters died, and the sisters each inherited half of the estate.
"Tanaka Hiromi's half has long been squandered, but Mrs. Sakihara's half is still in his hands. That is to say, when Mrs. Sakihara dies, her inheritance and the high insurance she bought for herself will all fall into Mr. Sakihara's hands."
"This is too much." Mao Lilan didn't expect such a thing to happen. She clenched her thin white fists and made a creaking sound. "What do these two guys think of my wife? Can they smash open the storage jar to take money from it at any time? They simply don't treat me as a human being. They are really scum!"
Vodka: "..." You're absolutely right! Those who treat humans as props are all scum, like the guy next to you who is leisurely listening to the police officer's report!
Then again, I don't know how this kind of girl who speaks out for justice can survive with Wu Zuo... Does Wu Zuo particularly like this type? Like this kind of stubborn little white flower who goes against him?
Vodka touched his chin, feeling that he should write something down in his survival manual, but he was not sure.
At this time, Maori Kogoro next to him hesitated and said: "...Does Xiaohui know about this?"
Inspector Megure sighed sympathetically: "I asked Sato to tell her, and she covered her face and cried after hearing it. Oh, how pitiful, she was betrayed by the two closest people in the world at the same time... I hope she can cheer up as soon as possible and return to normal life."
