Chapter 2582 2594 [Case Closed]
Jiang Xia looked at Otosaka Jinichi who was wearing a hospital uniform: "But on the way to the hospital, the seriously injured Mr. Komoto rejected your kindness - he was originally suffering from a terminal illness, not to mention he was seriously injured now. He cared more about the lives of those enemies than his own life."
"Murderers usually keep their plans secret, but now that he is about to die, there is no need for him to keep it secret. So before he died, Mr. Komoto told you his story, including his ongoing bloody revenge plan."
The cold sweat slowly slid down Jinichi Otosaka's forehead. He couldn't help but glance at the parking lot from a distance - if what happened yesterday had not been a complete sudden accident, he would have suspected that the detective had installed surveillance cameras on his car in advance.
The police looked at his expression and vaguely understood: they had seen this expression many times on the faces of many murderers - it seemed that Jiang Xia was right again.
Jiang Xia continued to tell a story, "After hearing about this plan, you felt sympathy, but you also had other thoughts."
Inspector Megure was quite moved and couldn't help but interrupt: "He decided to fulfill Mr. Komoto's long-cherished wish and help him get revenge?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia shook his head and said: "'Revenge for Mr. Komoto' is probably only a small part of it. Compared to this, Mr. Otosaka heard another key point from the words of the avenger - the four people who cheated him are now all doing well, and each one is richer than the other.
“Among them, Mr. Fuyuki’s wealth is the most enviable.
"So after thinking about it, Mr. Otosaka planned to use the name of 'Avenger Komoto' to extort a huge fortune from Fuyuki. In this way, the dead Komoto would take the blame for the extortion, and he, an outsider, could get Fuyuki's money and live freely.
"In order to achieve this goal, he decided to attack Ms. Akiba first, so that the fear of the only remaining Mr. Fuyuki would reach its peak. In this way, in order to save his life, Fuyuki would be willing to go bankrupt and spend all his money."
At this point, Jiang Xia paused and turned to Otosaka: "I heard from your colleagues that you are in debt recently and are being forced into a desperate situation by debt collectors - is that right?"
Otosaka looked unhappy, snorted and refused to continue.
However, the other party seemed to be just asking for the sake of procedure, and did not mean to force him to confirm. He did not even give him time to answer, and the hateful detective continued on his own:
“So you didn’t send Jiaben to the hospital. Instead, you waited for him to die and then took his body to the mountains and hid it.
“Then you used the exact same method to kill Ms. Akiba and left Mr. Komoto’s lighter next to her body.
"When her body was discovered by the police and Fuyuki was hurriedly called to the scene, you called Fuyuki at the right time. Sure enough, he was so frightened that he offered to spend money to get rid of the disaster.
"In order to be consistent with Jiaben's character, you did not agree immediately, but hung up the phone with dignity, planning to find a suitable time to take over this fortune.
"However, unfortunately, the body was found the next day, with many witnesses. Because the body was found near the hospital, you quickly got the news and knew that your attempt to disguise yourself as Amoto had failed miserably.
“You have no choice but to change your plan, pretend to be a righteous avenger who takes over Komoto’s place, and then ask Fuyuki for money in exchange for his life.
"Some people thought you were trying to lure Fuyuki-san out to kill him, but in reality, you just wanted the money."
Fuyuki Ryuzaburo next to him was the first to come to his senses. Compared to the police, he was more accepting of the current situation: "I've already told you! Money can solve all problems, but you just don't believe it."
"Wait, why do you think he's telling the truth?" Otosaka finally came back to his senses from this series of reasoning. He waved his hand and said, "It's just a story made up by a little detective. In the final analysis, I never saved Komoto from the beginning!"
Jiang Xia: "So what have you been doing during this time?"
Otosaka Jinichi took a deep breath and said, "This is my vacation time. I'll be resting at home after fishing."
Jiang Xia shook his head: "Before coming here, I actually went to a convenience store located between Sijichuan Hospital and the canyon. The surveillance there showed that after the cliff fall, you drove the car to the convenience store parking lot, then you got out of the car and went around to the back seat, where you stayed for more than ten minutes.
“This period of time should be the time when Mr. Komoto tells you his life story and revenge plan.
"He died in the parking lot, and you had your own plans. But you happened to be on duty that afternoon - although you could take a day off, in order to get away with the blackmail, you were determined to cover up your connection with Amoto.
"In order to achieve this goal, you cannot show any abnormality and have to continue working. In other words, from the time you pick up the A-book until you have time to bury him at night, you will stay with his body the whole time."
As soon as these words were spoken, Officer Takagi suddenly thought of something.
——He had come to Sijichuan Hospital before and asked the front desk if there were any seriously injured patients admitted. While he was checking, a cleaner passed by him pushing a heavy cart and took the initiative to talk to him.
Now that I think about it, that cart...
Officer Takagi’s face turned pale: “You, you actually pushed a corpse and talked to the police?!”... Stop being a hospital employee, you should be hospitalized too!
Jiang Xia: "As long as something has existed, it will definitely leave traces, not to mention a body that has been there for a long time - if we carefully investigate Mr. Otosaka's car and the transportation tools in the hospital, it won't be difficult to find evidence that he hid the body.
"Also, Ms. Akiba was very strong and resisted before her death. I remember there were some strange marks at her death scene that didn't match Mr. Komoto's. Now that I can compare them with Mr. Otosaka's, the truth should be revealed."
“…”
Otosaka Jin'ichi clenched his fists tightly, trying to find a way to refute. However, as the police found the cart that had carried the body from the tool box, he finally looked pale and sighed.
"It's exactly as you said." Otosaka Jin'ichi suddenly pointed at Fuyuki Ryuzaburo, "I just want money. I want to squeeze every last bit of money out of this scum."
Fuyuki Ryuzaburo: “…You!”
Otosaka Jinichi laughed: "Anyway, you and that Akiha are not good people. Instead of keeping the money in your hands, why not give it to me so that I can help those who are really in need!"
Amidst his wild laughter, he was handcuffed by several policemen with mixed emotions and taken into a police car.
Everyone was about to leave when Conan looked at a bunch of decorative flowers at the front desk in surprise: "Oh, that's so strange!"
