Chapter 2571 2583 [A tacit fraudster]
With the help of professionals, Inspector Megure not only obtained the surveillance footage, but also quickly locked onto the clips he wanted to see.
"Humph, they gathered secretly in a coffee shop with such strange expressions. Who would believe that the three of them had nothing to do with this case?"
Confident, Inspector Megure, along with his two detective brothers and surveillance cameras, turned around and rushed back to the financial firm.
…
However, after knocking on the door for a while, no one came to open it.
Officer Gao Mu scratched his head: "Could it be that the truth was revealed and they fled for fear of the crime?"
Beside him, Jiang Xia's nose moved slightly, as if he smelled something. He stepped forward and pressed the door handle, and with a creak, the door slid open smoothly - the door was actually not locked.
"Were you in such a hurry when you escaped that you forgot to lock the door?" Officer Sato frowned and walked closer, looking inside over Jiang Xia, and was suddenly stunned.
The room was not "empty" as she had imagined. On the contrary, a figure quickly filled their field of vision.
——Behind the door, a man in a suit was lying on the ground, with a large pool of blood under him. The suit on his back was stabbed to shreds, with several clearly visible knife wounds on it.
"..." Inspector Megure stared at the investment consultant who was so calm and composed two hours ago, and was stunned for several seconds, "Mr. Natsukawa!!"
…
An important suspect was killed with a bang, and his death was exactly the same as that of Mr. Chunshan who passed away last night.
Spring and summer are gone, only autumn and winter are left.
Not long after, Fuyuki Ryuzaburo and Akiha were brought before the police again.
Jiang Xia looked at them and sighed: "After Mr. Chunshan, Mr. Xiachuan also passed away. The way they both died was exactly the same - now are you willing to say something?"
“…”
The middle-aged man and woman looked at each other, as if they understood each other, and nodded in tacit understanding.
Then they turned to the police.
Mr. Fuyuki: "We know nothing."
Ms. Akiba: "It must have been that guy who did it!"
"?" The two were stunned by each other's words.
A second later, Fuyuki Ryuzaburo said angrily: "Didn't we agree to solve it ourselves?"
Qiu Ye was even angrier: "I'll kill you! Spring, summer, autumn, winter, in this order, I'll be the next one. Why don't you tell me now? Are you waiting for that guy to come to you?!"
"Wait." Inspector Megure keenly caught the key words, "Who is 'that guy'?"
They both: “…”
…
Now that things have come to this, it seems there is no point in being stubborn.
The two men's legs went limp, and they fell onto the bench next to them. Ms. Akiba said, "The 'guy' we're talking about is Komoto Takashi, one, one..."
She tried to think of a suitable explanation but couldn't find one. Finally, she said, "Forget it. I won't defend myself anymore. To put it simply, he was just a fool who was deceived by us."
“Ten years ago, the two of us, plus the deceased Haruyama and Natsukawa, the four of us used to be regulars at a bar.
"At that time, we didn't have money like we do now. We only had dreams and ambitions. So every day after get off work, we would gather in that bar, complain to each other, and brag about what we could do if we had money."
"One day, Fuyuki suddenly had a brilliant idea."
Ms. Akiba turned to look at Fuyuki Ryuzaburo who was standing beside her. "He said that he had a high school classmate named Komoto Takashi, who had just inherited a huge fortune from his parents. If we are really short of money, we can get some money from him."
"At first we were a little nervous, but soon everyone discovered that Komoto Takashi was not some shrewd rich second-generation man at all, but just a young master who had little experience in the world.
"We teamed up to make friends with him, and then described to him the bright prospects of this industry. Sure enough, the guy was easily hooked and gave us the money without even signing a contract. He also believed the excuse we made up and gave us cash without leaving any transfer records.
“After getting his money, we roped in lawyers and easily covered up our fraud.
"Just like that, the four of us became wealthy overnight, and all the money that Jiaben had 'invested' was lost.
"He didn't expect to be backstabbed by his own friend, so he left Tokyo soon after and moved to South America with the money from selling his property."
The story ended so abruptly. It was not a happy ending at all. Officer Sato frowned as he listened. "No wonder you guys were so hesitant and unwilling to explain the inside story. So you were trying to cover up your fraud crime?"
"Oh, it's been 10 years. That's not the point." Fuyuki Ryuzaburo interrupted quickly:
"The point is that a few days ago, Chunshan suddenly called me in a panic and said that he saw a suspicious guy near his coffee shop.
"He originally thought it was a competitor who wanted to steal the recipe, but when he saw the man from afar, he felt that he looked more and more familiar. He soon thought of Jia Ben and suspected that Jia Ben had returned to seek revenge on us."
Speaking of this, Ms. Qiuye sighed: "At that time, none of us took it seriously, thinking that he must have seen it wrong, and laughed at him. Chunshan was anxious and insisted that we go to his shop to see it with our own eyes.
“Although we didn’t quite believe that Amoto was back, we were actually a little scared, so we didn’t refuse his request.
“But after going there several times and never seeing Jiaben, everyone gradually let down their guard.
"Who knew that this morning, Fuyuki suddenly called me in a panic and said that he saw Haruyama's body when he passed by the park on his way to work..."
At this point, Ms. Qiuye rubbed her forehead with a headache. "I was really panicked, and I rushed to Xiachuan's office to discuss the situation with them. But just as I sat down and didn't say anything... you guys suddenly arrived."
Jiang Xia looked at his watch: "So when did you leave the office, and what did you discuss during the meeting?"
Ms. Qiuye whispered, "Haruyama has a bad temper and often offends people. Who knows if it was Komoto or someone else who killed him. So we only stayed there for less than half an hour and then left with a fluke mentality... But who knew that Xiachuan would be killed too? Komoto was probably the only one who wanted to kill both of them."
Inspector Megure looked at the two scammers with doubt.
He thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, come back with me to the police station for investigation."
…
Ten minutes later, Metropolitan Police Department.
Jiang Xia found the coffee machine and skillfully poured a cup of hot coffee.
He was holding it and drinking it with the coffee beside him, when suddenly, Officer Gao Mu came running towards him with a document that had just been faxed over: "Jiang Xia, the investigation results are out!"
Toru Amuro looked at Jiang Xia, then at Takagi Wataru, and then at Inspector Megure who was not far away: "?"
