Chapter 2573 2585 [Flowers for Memorial]
Ms. Qiuye snorted: "The client insisted on discussing business in a place with beautiful scenery. What can I do?"
Officer Gao Mu didn't quite understand: "For business talks, can't we discuss it in another place?"
Ms. Qiuye shook her head in dismay: "With your attitude, you deserve to be paid such a meager salary - do you know how difficult those customers are? Only when they are happy and satisfied, and feel that they are valued enough, will they be willing to pay you."
Officer Takagi: “…” But you’re in real estate, not selling insurance… Oh, forget it, he doesn’t understand businessmen’s business, so he should just shut up and be a bodyguard.
In silent silence, the two finally climbed the long stone steps and arrived at the open-air viewing platform halfway up the mountain.
Without the obstruction of the mountain, the cool mountain breeze blows towards you, and the scene before your eyes suddenly becomes clear.
Officer Takagi looked out at the green hills in the distance, listened to the gurgling sound of flowing water at the foot of the mountain, and his expression relaxed a little: What Ms. Akiba said does make some sense. This kind of place is indeed refreshing and makes people more likely to let down their guard. It is worthy of being... uh, worthy of being a negotiation location carefully selected by a scammer.
As I was muttering to myself, suddenly, a series of dense "bang bang" sounds came from the forest.
"?!" Officer Takagi was startled, and his first reaction was to lie down with his head in his hands, but he soon felt something was wrong. "No one would be so idle as to fire a machine gun in the mountains... Could it be that the sound was actually a string of firecrackers?"
This thought made him breathe a sigh of relief, but he immediately breathed it back in: What if setting off firecrackers indiscriminately in the mountains caused a forest fire!
"Ms. Qiuye, please wait here for a moment. Don't walk around or get close to the edge of the cliff." Officer Gao Mu said solemnly, "I'll be back soon!"
As he spoke, he quickly glanced at the tourists in groups of three or four on the observation deck. Seeing that no one among them looked like Kamoto Takashi, he turned around and quickly ran over following the sound of firecrackers.
Qiu Ye looked at his hurried back, shook his head and sighed, "What a fuss! Chunshan and Xiachuan were killed when they were alone. Now there are so many people around, how dare that guy show up."
She didn't bother to pay attention to the young police officer and walked straight to the edge of the observation deck, holding the railing and looking down, examining the scenery here.
At the same time, on the fork in the road behind her.
A figure carrying a backpack quietly walked out of the woods. The man pulled the hood on his head, glanced at the observation deck with a gloomy look, and his sight quickly locked on Qiu Yedu.
He drew his knife and walked over with a sneer: “Qiu Ye.”
Qiu Ye looked back in confusion, and when she saw the knife in the man's hand, she suddenly screamed in fear: "Ah--!!"
"Ha." The man stabbed with his knife, "Go to hell!"
…
Officer Takagi ran to the place where the firecrackers exploded, but saw only ashes on the ground.
At this moment, a piercing scream pierced the sky and reached his ears.
"Oh no." Officer Takagi's heart skipped a beat and he turned around and ran back.
He rushed up to the observation deck and took a closer look. He saw a hooded figure holding a sharp blade next to the railing. He swung the blade violently... then lost his balance, twisted and struggled for a while, and fell headfirst from the railing.
Officer Takagi: "...?"
Qiu Ye fell down beside the railing and watched the scene in horror.
It was not until Takagi Wataru ran over that she came back to her senses. She grabbed the belated police officer and said, "Komoto, Komoto fell down from here!"
"...I saw it." This was the first time that Officer Takagi encountered such a thing. He leaned on the railing and looked down blankly, but he could not see anything - although there was a steep cliff below, there were some trees growing on the stone wall. The thin branches could not support people, but they could just block his vision.
He tried to think, but failed. After a moment, the policeman took out his cell phone and said, "I'll find Jiang first... I'll find the police chief first and ask him to take people to look for him down the mountain."
…
Not long after, Inspector Megure came over with a large group of people.
Following behind was Jiang Xia, who had also heard the news.
Right below the observation deck was a clear stream, the water was shallow and the rocks were jagged. Inspector Megure stood by the water, looking up to estimate the drop. Soon he couldn't help shaking his head: "It's so high, and there are only rocks below. The person is probably dead."
Jiang Xia sighed and placed a bunch of white flowers on the rocks beside the stream.
Officer Sato was shocked when she saw this scene. She whispered to Jiang Xia, "Did Takashi Komoto really fall to his death?"
"I don't know." Jiang Xia said objectively, "We need to check if there is a body in the water first."
Officer Sato was puzzled: "Come to think of it, why did you prepare the flowers in advance?"
Jiang Xia leaned over and touched the petals: "I wanted to go to the hospital to visit my friend, but I was too late and he is no longer here."
Officer Sato's heart skipped a beat, and he began to seriously consider whether this "gone" meant gone or dead.
At this time, Inspector Megure discovered that someone was slacking off: "Sato! What are you doing? Come over here and help me find it."
"Oh, okay!" Sato Miwako came to her senses and stopped worrying about Jiang Xia's group of ill-fated friends. She put on her rain boots and trotted into the river.
After sending them away, Inspector Megure turned to look at Officer Takagi and Ms. Akiba in front of him and confirmed with them, "In other words, when Takagi went to check the sound of firecrackers, Komoto took the opportunity to attack Ms. Akiba, but Ms. Akiba struggled desperately, so in the end she was not succeeded, and it was the attacker Komoto who slipped and fell off the cliff?"
The two nodded, and at the same time, Officer Takagi thought of something and couldn't help but secretly glance at Ms. Akiba.
Qiu Ye glared at him: "What's that look? Do you suspect that I pushed him down on my own initiative?!"
Officer Gao Mu wiped his sweat and said insincerely, "No, no."
"What the lady said is true, and we can prove it."
At this moment, a voice came from the side.
The police followed the sound and found that the people talking were a few tourists standing by the stream - these tourists had just been watching the scenery on the observation deck, and when they noticed something was wrong, they ran down to eat the watermelons.
"When the knife-wielding thug rushed over, everyone was shocked. We thought we were being robbed, but... well, I mean, he rushed straight towards the lady."
An enthusiastic Tokyo citizen pointed to Akihabara and recounted the situation: "The lady collapsed to the ground in fear, and the knife-wielding gangster was shaken and fell down."
"Oh, right, it's not just us. There's another person who should have seen it too." The enthusiastic citizen turned around and looked around, trying to find the witness. "Strange, where did that person go..."
